vOLIvA GETS TT IN THE NECK
Gar of Zion City Runs Up Against
the Receiver and Gets the
Worst of 1t.

Chicago, May 29.-General Overseer
Voliva, who succeeded in ousting John
Alexander Dowie from control of Zion
City, has been ordered by Receiver
John G. Hately to vacate all leases of
buildings May 81. This action was
taken by Hately as climax to a bitter
quarrel between Voliva and the presi-
dent of the Zion City bank.
Voliva presented his check at the
bank for $1,800and demanded payment
at once. The bank official declined to
comply with the request until he had
some advice from Receiver Hately in
the matter. When informed Of Voliva's
actions Receiver Hately ordered the
cashier Of the bank to withhold ali
moneys from Voliva and then notified
Voliva to vacate.

Town Swallowed by Lake.

In the eastern portion Of Lawrence
county, Tennessee, is a lake covering
about twenty acres which has a history
of interest. There are still living a
number of old citizens who remember
when it was dry land
Fifty years or more ago a prosperous
country village stood on the spot where
the lake now is. The town was called
Oakville and it was one of the most
important places in that sectioneOf the
State in those days.
Suddenly the land on which the town
was located commenced to sink and
finally about twenty acres went down,
carrying with it all the buildings and
many stocks of goods were entirely
lost.
1t is said that the town sank almost
in a night and that the merchants
didn't have time to remove their stocks
of goods.

should be sent aboard ship for rough
and hardy sailormen was more perplex-
ing. Yet books described by one sailor
in South street recently as heavy
enough to sink a ship" predominated
in the little libraries selected by Mr..
Pierson. The result was that most of
them went unread-by the thOughtless,
at any rate. Some went overheard.
The new librarian, William Filing,
likes lively reading" and has an
nOunced that he will provide books
fitting that description for the sailors
hereafter. He will be particular, Of
course, not to admit into the travelling
Libraries any books which might have
a pernicious influence, but he will bar
nothing that Is only amusing and excit-
ing. He is convinced that it is not the
function of the libraries to minister
to the souls of sailors, but to occupy
their minds in the long, dull spaces
when they are alone on the broad
ocean. So Stevenson's stories Of adj
venture, Laura Jean Libbeys stories Of
affairs of the heart (maybe), and the
books of other popular writer's of equal
interest will be sent out. Mr. Filling
thinks that every one of them will be
read.
Mr.. PiersOn took charge Of the work
OF handling the travelling libraries for
the Seamen's Friend Society forty-six
years ago. Exceedingly conscientious,
he read every book he bought for the
II 1856 libraries, and each had about
forty volumes. He is So years old, and
believes he has earned a rest. In this
the officers of the society, grateful for
his earnest service, agree with him.

Mother-of-PearI Workers.

The chief industry of Bethlehem Of
Judea is that of the mother-of-pearl
workers The shells are brought from
the Red Sea, and in the hands Of ma
tive artisans are polished and carved
the largest into elaborate designs; the
smaller are cut up for rosarieS and
crosses. The work is also done by
hand and the methods are amazingly
primitive to a spectator from the home
of steam and electric power. But the
results are extraordinary. The largest
shell we saw, writes a traveller, was
carved in scenes from the birth of
Christ, the Agony in the Garden and
the Crucifxion, and has the general
effect of delicate frostwork. Under the
magnifying glass every detail was seen
to be perfect in outline and in finish.
1t was executed to order for a wealthy
American. and was to cost $3.50. About
one hundred and fifty persons make q
living by this industry, which is five
hundred years old. In the shops the
workmen sit upon the floor, their
benches in front of them; the air iB
full of whitish dust, and the light, adj
mitted by the single window and the
open door, so dim that the exquisite
tracery of the wrought shells is a mys-
terry even before the visitor notes how
few simple and crude are the instru-
mentS employed.

PLEASURES OF GARDENING.
Even on a Small City Lot Something
May BE Raised.

May Be Raised.
Whoever owns an unincumbefeu
square rod of land is in possession OF
some 275 square feet of possibilities
capable Of realization in globes of pear
ly onions, spheres of rudy tomatoes,
and toothsome mouthfuls of corn that
will come to the pot with the dew OF
early morning still beading their sur
face and the crispness OF fresh and Wig
orous growth in the heart Of them.
The towns or city lot Of by II rods
will afford enough garden space to sup
ply an ordinary family with fresh veg
etables from June till October, accord
ing to the Home Magazine.
Not all, or even half, Of this space
will be found available for garden pur-
poses, however, some two rods must be
set off for front lawn, and the house
must be accorded a depth Of a rod
and q half to two rods, according TO
it's size and pretensions. Then there
will usually be a couple of rods in the
rear devoted to grass and flowers, so
that the available garden space will, If
not encroached upon by outbuildings,
approximately be something like TWEEN
ty square rods, or $4,000 square feet
an amount which under careful and
intensive culture, will give generous
returns.
In laying out the garden the conser-
walton of space will be of first import
ance, hence it will not be practicable
to grow the melons and cucumbers on
the ground, as a few vigorous plants
would pre-empt the entire garden
space, being set four feet apart in the
hills for the cucumbers and six for
melons. A compromise is effected by
planting the smaller varieties of mel
ons, such as the ROCKFORD or Little
Gem, both the most delicious Of mel
ons, along the rear or boundary fence
or on a trellis erected for the purpose,
and training the vines over the net
ting.

MEASURING HEAT OF SUN.
Description of Delicate Fnstrum ent
Used for Making Record.

Description of Delicate EnStrum en-
Used for Making Record.
The instrument in the observatory on
Mount Whitney, by which the yaria-
tiOns of the suns heat are measured,
might be called an electrical thermome-
ter. 1t is an apparatus so large as to
occupy a building Of considerable size,
yet the essential part of its mechan-
ism, which makes the record, is a fine
thread Of platinum, connected electri-
cally with a balance of marvellous del
icacy. The beam of the balance is a
fllament Of spun glass five inches long
and less In diameter than a hair, in
the middle Of which is a cOncave mir
ror as big as a large pinhead.
This mirror (Which weighs two and
a half milligrammes- about as much a5
the hind leg of a fly is fastened upon
a square piece cut from a dragon fy's
wing, and the whole affair is suspend
ed from a fiber of spun quartz crystal
two feet long and one-fve-thousandth
Of an inch thick.
Outside of the building is queer-look-
ing machine provided with a large cir
cular mirror, which is controlled by
clockwork In such a way as to face
the sun at all hours and to throw
reflected beam into the mouth of
great tube that enters the observatory.
A single ray Of the sunshine thus con-
veyed is permitted to fall upon the
platinum thread, through which a cur
rent Of electricity continually passes.
1t Is well known that the electrical
resistance Of platinum varies with it's
temperatures and SO, by measuring
the resistance of the thread the heat
Of suns ray thrown upon it is de-
termined. So accurate, in fact, is the
determination that a variation of one
millionth of a degree Fahrenheit can
be distinguished.
Changes in the temperature Of the
platinum thread cause the wonderful
little balance to sway, while another
ray of light allowed to fall upon its
tiny concave mirror is reflected upon a
measuring scale. Thus, as the dot Of
reflected light runs along the scale one
may observe with the eye the yaria-
lions in the amount Of heat conveyed
by the sunbeam, which comes through
the tube from outside the building.
When desired, however, the measur-
ing scale is replaced by a slowly trav-
cling Photographic film, which makes
q permanent record Of the fluctuations
Of the solar temperature, convenient
for printing, filing and subsequent ref
erence.-The Reader.

Toward women the American mans
attitude is fine. She Is neither his

her with Difference His chivalry has
as little to do with saccharine utter
ances, scraping feet and Bonded knees
as has his patriotism with hysterical
shrIekings and the waving of ensan-
guined flags. He is stronger in his
silence and apparent submission to the
ladies Of his household than the most
blatant vulgarlan who pirates of do

who called on Burrowes at an early

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders I'm Health

Works Wonders I'm Health.
It is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. 81 deem
it my duty to let you know how
Grape-Nuts food has cured me Of indi~
gestion;
''I had been troubled with 1t for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. 1 followed instructions
and now am entirely we'll
'@The whole family like Grape-Nuts.
we use four packages a week. You are
welcome to use this testimonial as you
see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food is that It
is predigested by natural processes and
therefore does not tax the stomach as
the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If
that part Of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body works
badly. Grape Nuts food can be used by
small children as we'll as adults. It
is perfectly cooked and ready for in
slant use.

Something Lighter than Bunyan VIII
BE offered to the Sailors.
The Andrew Carnegie Of the seas"
has retired. His name is John S. Pier
son, and for nearly half a century he
has provided libraries for those who
live on the face of the deep. Wherever
ships have sailed his praises have been
sung, says the New York Times.
Rut with even more interest, per
haps, than the story Of his going, they
will read that the kind of literature
supplied for them has been changed.
Under the old librarian books filed
with sober, solemn, elevating thoughts
formed the bulk of the volumes in the
libraries sent to the ships; under the
new librarian their places will be Ia
ken by thrilling tales of trouble, adj
venture and intrigue-real stories not
preachments
For a long time, the sailors, though
they found elevating matter to read in
the books which Mr.. Pierson. for the
American Seamen's Friend Society. pro-
yided for them. have been talking
among themselves and to their init
mates about the popularity of the IL
brarian's taste in literature. Why q
preacher should read "Pilgrims Prog
ress," or a statesman The Rise and

to understand, but why such books

1t is the business of fhe kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the

times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem
