school board has feeling Of humbleness
and humility that promises to endure for
ever. He was informed by the talented
Professor Of Kiowa, through second par

last week, that he is an ignoramous and
had no right to butt in on matters
concerning which he knew nothing. The

A small blaze last Friday morning
created little excitement. A wash and
store house on the rear Of Jas. Dobbs'
residence lots caught FIRE but was ex-
tnguished in few moments after the
arrival Of the hose. cart. Men with
buckets and the lawn hose held the
flames in check until the hose cart arriv-
ed. The FIRE originated atthe point on
the roof where galvanized smoke stack
was attached to the shingles. A breeze
would have started big FIRE as there
were many barns in easy reach Of the
flames.

MosquitoIess Cities.

Over in Europe there are many
happy towns where the note of the
mosquito is never heard, and the in
habitants don't care a snap about
the pennyroyal market. But in
America the cities which can claim
to be mosquitoes would not run up
to dozen. Denver is one of them,
and, strange to say, Grand Rapids,
Mich, only short way from the
gnat Gehennas Of Lake Superior, is
another. The explanation is that
the city is built on hillocks of drift
sand, SO deep and SO finely pulver-
lied that they absorb moisture like
tissue paper. Stagnant water does
not get ghost of a chance to accu-
mulate, and mosquitoes have car
ried their cargo of microbes to more
congenial markets. = Health Gull

A Mathematical Wonder.

Jedediah Buxton was the great
est prodigy Of mathematics that
ever appeared in England. His ed
ucation was very limited, and he
had never been taught arithmetic or
indeed any branch of mathematics,
so that his abilities in this respect
were peculiarly natural. He would
walk over a piece of land and tell
with exactness how many acres and
square rods were contained in it.
His memory was SO great that while
resolving a question he could leave
off and resume the occupation again
the next morning or a week, a
month or several months later and
proceed regularly till it was COM
Dleted.

The Poet and the Beauty.

One of the finest houses in southern
England is Penhurst Place, the birth
place Of Sir Philip Sidney. Under the
trees Of its park Edmund Waller paid
his addresses to the naughty Lady
Dorothea, whom he celebrated as Sach-
arissa. But the heart Of Lady Dorothea
Sidney-who was the most beautiful
woman Of her time-was untouched by
Walters amatory verses, and she re-
jected the poet in favor Of the Earl of
Sunderland. Many years afterward the
countess met Waller and, reminding
him sentimentally of the old days at
Penhurst, asked him when he would
again write verses about her. "When,
madam" said the poet rudely, you are
as young and as handsome as you were
then"

FFhUoS IN OLD BOOKS.
Ancient and Rare Volumes DOctOred'
Restored and Initiated.


Restored and Initiated.
A we'll known collector acquired
what he took to be book published
by Aldus in the year 1889. He paid
$1,000 for it and believed that 1t was
an original Aldus, because the publish
er's press mark, dolphin coiled round
an anchor, appeared upon 1t. When
the book was shown to an expert it
proved to be beyond shadow OF
doubt a modern antique-that is to
say, it was simply copy Of the orig
inal work printed by an ingenious book
fakir. SO clever was the imitation
that only an expert could tell 1t from
the original and rare book. Scores OF
persons during recent years have
bought facsimiles of rare works under
the impression that they were getting
the originals. Dickens Sunday I'm
der Three Heads" has been faxed
many times and sold as opiginal to
collectors who no doubt treasure them
as rarities. Genuine copies Of this
little book are worth a good sum, and
some INSCRIPTIONS dealers, taking ad-
vantage of the circumstances, have
had it reprinted and palm off the
copies on unsuspecting bibliomaniacs
for the genuine first edition.
Many men make a living by doc
toring" old and rare books FOR I'M
scrupulous dealers. These men are
adopts in the art Of book restoring and
are quite able to make good any part
of an imperfect copy. For instance,
If a rare book has a leaf missing it Is
handed over to a reStorer, who re-
prints the page with battered type,
the paper upon which it Is printed be-
ing afterward discolored with chem
icals or tobacco water in order to give
it the true antique hue.
The first folio Shakespeare Is, of
course, Of great value, and 1t Is safe
to say that every possible deception
has been practiced in fitting up copies
Of this work for sale. At one time the
manufacture of first folio Shakespeares
was quite trade. A first folio having
several leaves missing had leaves In
serted from the second folio, while In
one case the entire play Of "Cymbe-
line' was reprinted and inserted in a
first folio. The "faked" pages were
so cleverly done that several experts
were at first unable to detect them
when turning over the pages of the
work in question. Book restorers, as
q rule, are most ingenious artists, and
they can produce an imitation Of
page Of g rare book which will deceive
hundreds of collectors. One particu-
lar restorer has ''doctored" more than
a thousand old books during the last
two years. producing pages in facsim-
lie and supplying colophons or deco
rated capitals. There is not a thing
wanting to make a book complete that
this man cannot skillfully "fake."-

Properties of Chlorine.

Chlorine is a greeDish yellow gas
with disagreeable smell. 1t is solu-
BILE in cold water, only slightly soluble
In hot water. 1t destroys color in wet
ant. Both Of these properties are said
to be due to it's power of decomposing
hydrogen compounds, such as water,
combining with the hydrogen and liber-
ating oxygen, which in nascent state
oxidizes coloring matter, rendering it
colorless. AS disinfectant it oxidiZes
the germs of disease and is in conse-
quence largely used for tN,s purpose.
