where. Among the minute bodies that
dance In the suns rays there are GER
tainly particles Of shooting stars.

Turning Waste to Use.

Swimming a river for a living may be
said to be one Of the most striking ex-
amples of the utilization of waste. This
is done In Paris. There is one indi-
vidual, at least. In the French capital
who makes 1t his daily business to skim
the Seine. He is out at early morning
In an old fat-bottomed boat, armed
with a skimming pan. With this he
skins off the surface of the river the
grease which collects there during the
night, and which he disposes of to a
soap factory. Generally he makes a
quarter or so by his mornings work
which enables him to live.
In Paris also there are a number OF
people who make living out of waste
corks, which they fish from the Seine
They collect on the river bank at day
break, each with a short pole, at the
end Of which is small lmprovlsed net
They set to work to gather in the float
ing corks, subsequently selling them to
