said to include the frame building now

number of property owners and residents,
asking for permission to operate pool

some religious workers has developed to
the plan. it is said. and they will convey
their disapprova to the Commissioners.

SCIENCE NOTES.

In the replacing of crankpin in 600
horsepower compound engine recently it
was found ineXpedient to make use of
blow torches in expanding the disk in or
der to permit the pin to be slipped into
place, which is the customary manner of
procedure SO that the use of electric sad
irons was resorted to. The thing was an
experiment. for such use of the domestic
iron was never suggested before, but was
entirely successful. Several heating units
from siX-pound electric f1atirons were as
Sembled on iron core and placed in
the crankpin hole. The units were kept at
nearly white heat for about four hours,
when the disk had expanded enough to al
low the pin to be slipped into place
1t has been recently announced from the
Agricultural College OF Toxic that sue
cessful method of making use of bamboo
grass in the manufacture of paper had
been discovered, and that great results
were expected. The grass grows very plen-
tifully in Japan. but heretofore there has
been little or no use for it. 1t is proposed
To make the Japanese farmers familiar
with the process of making the pulp from
the grass, greatly to the benefit of the
grower and consumer.

Several months ago Wright suggested to
Bright that they make trip to South

some days before. and as .oon as he
made the proposal to Bright to take the
trip the latter resigned his position and
announced his readiness to leave Salt
Lake City at once. They had their cards
in the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and after presenting the pasteboards to
the first conductor out of Salt Lake City
were allowed to travel to Pueblo. Col.
There Wright and Bright decided that
they would rat her travel separately as
conductors seemed more disposed to pass

Their parting agreement was that they
should meet at the post office in ST. Louis

When Wright arrived at the post office at
the time agreed he found a note awaiting
him from Bright telling him he had al
