sponsible for both it's ideas and its
prosperity. The Belt seems to have a
mission though only the third number
has yet appeared. Its present pri-
mary object seems to be the building
of a sewer system. not a bad enter
prise for any town, as a flat PROPOSE
ton, if the time is right. for cleanli-
ness is both desirable and healthful.
Secondly the Belt invites everybody in
the effete east to come to Jerome and
take a chance on getting into the MIL
lionaires' club. 1t does not absolutely
promise success but indicates great
possibilities and has good reason for
doing so. Jerome isn't the only good
place in Arizona. but if a few hun
dred thousand people from the east
flock to that city in response to the
Belts invitation. it is pretty certain
come millionaires.

Mother Sells Her Babv,

Passaic, N. because she was un-
able to pay a board bill of So Maria
Mucsinka, a good-looking Hungarian
woma of this city, sold her little son
Alexander, three years old, to F. w.
Bacher and his wife, who agreed to
pay the board bill. In IN agreement
drawn up by a notary public the wom-
an relinquished all claim to her child.
Mrs. Mucsinka, who was a widow, con-
tracted the board debt when she was
out of work . She afterward obtained
employment in a mill 10 as to be near
the place. She left the child with the
clearinghouse keeper as security for
the money owed. Recently Mrs. Nue.
sinka was married again, and her hus-
band refused to receive the boy into
his home. Mrs. Bacher, who formed
an attachment for the child when she
was a neighbor of the mother, heard
about the case, and offered to pay the
board bill provided the mother would
surrender possession of the boy. The
proposal was accepted.

walk into the Office as if nothing was
wrong.
He felt that most of the men would
respect his feelings and treat him as
though there were nothing unusual in
his appearance, but there was n
man he dreaded. and that was Poole,
the b~ill-of-lading clerk. Caruthers
detested Poole, although he scarcely
knew why. and all the reason he gave
to himself was that Poole wasn't his
style of a man." Poole was a mild
hammered clerk, of model habits,
saved his money-entirely too much
of it, Caruthers thought-and was of
a distressingly sympathetic nature.
1t was whispered among the other
clerks that he turned his collars to
save laundry bills, but this had new
been proven. 1t was his sympathy
that Caruthers dreaded most of all.
He reached the Office a little earlier
than usual Sc as to avoid meeting the
whole Office force at once. He was in
an irritable state of mind and had no.
ticed that the people whom he met
on the streets after the first casual
glance had turned to look at him a
second time. The Office boy, who was
young in years but who knew a thing
or two, greeted him with a cheerful

twinkle in his eye showed that he no.
ticed anything wrong with Caruthers'
appearance. The chief clerk greeted
him as usual and made no comments.
Tho other clerks, some of whom had
been there themselves" looked him
~squarely in the face and showed their
loyalty by asking no questions. Per-
haps it was not so bad, after all. AS
he looked up from his desk Poole was
regarding him alphabetically.
Good gracious, Mr.. Caruthers,
what's the matter with your eye?" he
said, loud enough for everyone in the
office to hear him, and placing his
hand affectionately on Caruthers'
shoulder.
Caruthars struggled with his emo
tons for a moment and then impa-
tiently shaking himself free from
Poole's grasp, replied in an equally
loud tone:
"The matter with that eye, Mr..
Poole, is that 1t was punched. Do
you get that? 1t was PUNCHED. l

POURING the Acid Into the Jar.

submerged in a solution Of hydro
chloric acid. The reaction differs, how
ever, from that which takes place I'M
der similar circumstances with ordi-
nary limestone; the organic matter
which enters in the composition Of the
shell causes most of the gaseous bub-
bles to remain attached to the egg.
They increase it's bulk, and hinder the
contact of the acid with the shell to
such an extent that a solution which
would in a few minutes consume a
piece of marble the size of a nut, takes
several hours to dissolve the thin shell
of an egg. The phenomenon, says the
Scientific American, is most interest
ing to observe when produced by
neal of the following apparatus:
Take a glass jar and half fill it with
water. Then, by means of a glass tube
which reaches to the bottom of the jar,
pour an equal amount of hydrochloric
acid under the water, as shown in Fig.
l, until the water rises to the top OF
the jar. If no effort be made to mix
the Two liquids they will remain neatly
separated for days, the density of COM
mercial hydrochloric acid being greater
than that of water. Let an egg sink
gently into the water. 1t will pass
through it, reach the hydrochloric acid
zone, and there almost instantaneously
become covered with a thick layer Of
bubbles. These decrease it's density
and prevent it's farther downward
progress. The egg does not come up
to the top, however, but settles on the
dividing line between the two liquids.
There it begins to revolve slowly
around its greater axis, and will keep
up that queer motion for than

this cross piece, but the next one
above should have it.
At the back edge of each shelf a
thin strip across in both directions,
thin strip is nailed, projecting two
inches above the shelf, to hold the
books from slipping back. The maya
zine shelf, next to the top, should
have a strip across in both directions,
as these strips are to rest upon the
top of the standard, and should be ex-
ira strong, as the weight of the whole
case and the books will come upon
them. A little plate of iron should be
screwed to the under side of the under
cross piece for the top of the stand
ard to rest against. This will insure
as little friction as possible. The rim
at the back edge of this magazine
shelf should extend up and touch the
top of the book case, that this top may
bear it's part in supporting the weight
of the books.
The fiat strips of wood that are
screwed with %round-head screws) to

Words to DESIGNATE Storm.

"Typhoon" is by NJ means the only
word for a storm that has come to the
English language through Portuguese
and Spanish. Others are tornado"
and hurricane" which Shakespeare
could still write hurricane" Old
time Englishmen, at any rate, spelled
the last word in at least as many
ways as ~Shapespeare and other PEG.

spellings indicate frantic attempts to
make the word suggest a derivation

cane" and "Harry-C Jain" Even "hur'
ricane" was finally adopted, no doubt,
as suggesting hurry" The original
was the Carib "huracan," or ~"furacan,"
the navigators of Portugal and Spain
having been instrumental only in
bringing it to England from the west,
as they brought 'typhoon' from the
east.

A REVOLVING BOOKCASE.
Piece Of Furniture for Library Which
Boy Can Build.

One Of the prettiest ways to keep
books Is in O revolving bookcase.
These can be had at furniture stores,
but the cost is usually somewhat high,
and then, there is much more pleas
ure In making a thing than In buying
1t, especially when the article is so
easily made as is a book case OF this
style.
To begin at the foundation, one
needs first the base and standard.
Two pieces similar to that shown In
Fig. / are needed for the base. These
are "halved' together and a stout
standard inserted, as shown In Fig. II.
The base pieces should each be about
two feet long and the standard, hard
wood, one and a half inches in dame
ter, should be three feet in height
above the base. The top of this stand
ard should be very smoothly rounded.
as the weight of the whole case Is to
rest upon this top and revolve about
upon it.
The making of the shelves comes
next, explains the Orange Judge Farm
er. The lowest of all Is shown In
Fig. III. The four side boards should
be six or seven inches wide, according
to the size of the books to be accom-
modated. The lower shelf can be sew
en- inches wide and the others six
and five an one-half, respectively, If
that will suit the varied sizes OF books.
The corner joints of these shelves are
put together by "halving" n piece
upon another, but n half need not
come quite to the front edge OF the
other. Across from one side to the
other is nailed a thin strip with open
ing in the center for the standard to
pass through. This will hold the low
or part of the book case steadily In

French Presidents Double.

M. Fallieres was until recently be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is a respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And
on his promenades he is always &C
c%ompanied by a friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents private
secretary. Digniied. and with meas
ured steps the enviable double walks
through the Faubourg Saint Honore
and feels overjoyed at being saluted
on all sides.

AMUSING LITTLE COMEDY
Women Try to Hide Their Emotion
While Leaking Bottle of Formalde-
hyde, from Under a Seat Con-
tinues to Do Its Duty.

Omaha.-A health department at
tache, a bottle of formaldehyde, four
housewives, a hospital nurse and a
conductor got out of the rut the other
morning in a Sherman avenue street
car and sustained the action of an
amusing little comedy.
E. C. Damon, of the city health de-
partment, was returning on the car
with his fumigating tools and, mad
~vertently, loosened the stopper of a
bottle of formaldehyde, which he
placed inside the car while he enjoyed
the scenery from the rear platform.
Four women inside the car soon be-
gan to think there was something
wrong with their lachrymal glands, as
the escaping formaldehyde addressed
both their olfactory and optical
nerves.
Four women were drying their eyes
with their handkerchiefs and the con-
ductor was in such a state of mind and
vision he could not direct his punch
to any Ineligible place or the trans
ferS requested.
Outside, Damon was smoking his
pipe and enjoying the scenery. The
bottle of formaldehyde was in a straw
hamper and the odor escaped through
that receptacle.
When the car reached the Wise Me-
mortal hospital on Sherman avenue a
nurse from that institution boarded
the car. She quickly detected the na
ture of the odor and was amused at
the effects it had caused on her fell
low passengers.
Her first impulse was to think that
the conductor was fUmigating some
tainted money he had received, so for
the minute she dismissed the matter
from her mind.
At Seventeenth and Clark streets a
stout woman got on the a and with
some effort made her way to a seat.
She looked around the car with amaze
ment, and presently her perspective

The bishop arrived, dinner time
came, and the first course was oys-

told him never to eat oysters for fear
of getting typhoid fever.
The second course was soup, but
the bishop made answer: This is
most unfortunate, but my doctor has
told me never to eat liquid food"
The third course was salmon. The
bishop again refused, as his doctor
had forbidden him to eat fish on C

Farmers See a Ghost.

spied the white apparition in the road.
Before he got his team under COZ

mer, drove up and laughed at McIn-
tyres story about a ghost. The un-

view and Imler's laugh froze in his
throat. 1t seemed to beckon them to
it.

Franklin and her home has been the

have been trying to find two words of
which the birthmark might be the
initials that would convey some mes
sage to the world.
