is no question about-the noise. For
weeks the youths of Rock Island have
been spending their long saved pen

of various sorts, and all of these that
have not already been set off in pre-
mature celebration of the day will be
exploded tomorrow. Bad weather may
lessen the noise, but there will be
plenty anyway.

The Simple Life.
G.nndnn I .aaderl

Simple life is being practiced with
a vengeance by a laborer and his fam
lily at ,Montgeron, near Corbeil. The
workman and his wife had hitherto
been known as an Industrious and
thrifty couple, but they nevertheless
found it difficult to make both ends
meet, having to support six small chill
dren, and seventh being expected.
The climax came when they were I'M
able to pay their rent in October, and
were evicted from the little fiat which
they had occupied because the husband
had been out of work for some time
and could find no new occupation. He
gathered up his few belongings and
took up quarters for himself and his
family under the arches of a railway
bridge, where he decided for the rest
of his life to defy the state and mod
ern civilization, which, he argued, had
treated him, an honest man, so cruel
ly
The mayors of two adjoining local
tiles went to see the family and of
fered to find free lodgings for them,
but the workman and his wife refused.
They met certain charitable persons of
the neighborhood who offered them
money, food and clothing in the same
way.
Keep your money" they said, 1--WE
will not accept anything"
A seventh child has been born and
still the strange couple refuse all aid
Their case has been brought to the no
tice of the prefecture of the depart
ment, and nothing less is spoken of
than enforcing charity with energetic
measures.

Richese in Fountain.
(London Telegraph

Miraculous properties seem to he
possessed by one of the fountains in
the PLACE de la Concorde, if one is to
judge from the number of silver purses
which have been discovered at the bot
tom of the water. Two young men were
seen engaged in fishing certain gilt
tering objects out of the basin. A
fruit woman and a valet, who had been
watching them from distance went
to see what they were doing, whereupo
the two young men, who had just
fished out a pretty silver purse from
the bottom of the fountain turned
their backs and walked away, as if
quite content with their haul. The fruit
woman and the valet then saw similar
purses lyong at the bottom Of the wat
er, and both set to work to bring
them to the surface with sticks.
They had already taken out seven
purses when a policeman who had
been watching the sport walked up to
them and inquired They were unable
naturally, to explain how the bottom
of the fountain was Uttered with prec
ious purses. Both were escorted to
the police station and piled with ques-
tons, but, their good faith being ap-
parent, they were allowed to go away
after depositing the obpects. The po-
lice are of opinion that the purses had
probably been thrown there by thieves
who had looted some shop window, and
were afraid of being captured with
their booty.

Deep Dives for Lost Treasure.

(PearSOn'S Weekly.)
The feat performed by Dutch diver
the other day, in going down lis feet
to the wreck of the treasure ship Doro-
thea, on the Tenedos reef, and remain
ing there for nearly two hours, is a
sufficiently remarkable performance.
Nevertheless, it is not true, as has
been stated in some quarters, that II
establishes a record in deep-sea div.
ing.
This is held by an English diver
named Hooper, who descended 2O1 feet
to the wreck of the Cape Horn, lost OH
the coast Of South America, with a
cargo Of copper worth $4,000.
An almost equally wonderful piece
of work was that performed by Diver
A. Erostarbe, in 1896, in connection
with the wreck of the Skyro. off Cape
Finisterre in $50 feet of water. After
many experienced men had tried and
failed, he salved, by his own exertions,
bar silver to the value Of $4,000, to get
at which he had first to blow the iron
deck to bits with heavy charges OF dy-
Mantle.

no fewer than sixty-four boxes of

have salved much more, bupt consider

fighting. Sen. Fulton has madeevery ef-
tort, II is SAID, 10 enlist the support
ana corporation OF President koose-
welt and other powers in the party, IN
his own behalf. The understanding is,
in the best informed circles, that ne
has failed to secure the support for his
campaign of either Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Taft.
The Fulton people put up the argu-
ment that the democrats did not vote
in good faith at the primaries; there
fore that republican Legislators are alb
solved from their pledges. They argue
thus:
I'm the Fulton-Cake republican
primary, great numbers OF democrats
listed themselves Gas republicans, and
generally supported Cake; not because
they wanted him, but because, know
ing the contest was close between him
and Fulton, they wanted to have the
republicans nominate the weaker man,
and thus give Chamberlain, who was
very strong with the people, a chance
to win at the polls"
1t is charged further that the scheme
worked perfectly; the democratic vote
nominated Cake over Fulton; Cake
was weak with the people. the dem
ocrats, and many republicans lined up
for Chamberlain in the general cleo
ton. and Chamberlain won. Must the
republicans execute their pledges under
such circumstances, when they claim
they were trapped by the democrats?
Senator Jonathan Bourne, colleague
of Mr.. Fulton, and also a republican,
stands squarely and strongly for the
lection of Chamberlain by the legis-
lature. Mr.. Bourne takes the position
that the legislators ought to stand by
the law and their pledges. He thinks
it would be political ruin for the Or
egon republicans to encourage any
thing else.
Chairman Hitchcock, of the republican
national committee, is reputed to SYM
pathize with the Fulton contention, and
to be willing that something should be
done to help the republicans save the
senatorial seat. But the best informa-
ton obtainable is that neither the pres
ident nor Mr.. Taft is friendly to the
scheme of getting legislators to dump
their obligations.

Packers and Buyers Hold Off
Till Late, and Buyers In
active
NO MARKED ADVANCE IN HOGS
There Was . Strong Undercurrent,
However, tho Market Retaining Its
Strength to the Finish, Which Was
Active = Sheep Prices Steady, Tho
Demand at tho Opening Was Small.

Chicago, Dec. S,-Cattle-Tho re-
ceipts were not heavy, they were ample
in view of the fact that the run Of
Monday had surpassed the estimate by
5000. Packers and buyers We're late
in getting into the alleys, and even
shippers Were less disposed to be ac-
tive. Prices were steady early, but be-
fore the close, weak tone set in.
A keen inquiry for top beeves does
not materialize. Buyers rarely made
inquiry for the prize steers to fill
Christmas demands, their purchases in
the auction ring last week evidently
having sufficed to fill their immediate
demands for the prime lots, altho SELL
ers naturally expect good call for the
81 and higher lots later this week.
Hogs.
Hogs opened with strong under
current. tho there was no marked adj
vance in prices. While packers We're
not active at the start, they We're nib
bling, and shippers and scalpers took
a few hogs at strong prices. The mar
ket retained its strength, the finish be-
ing active and strong.
Sheep.
Demand at the opening was of the
microscopic kind, tho prices were
steady. The run was not heavy, and
packers did nothing early.
Lamb quality not as good as a week
ago, altho it was fair, but choice lots
We're very scarce. Country shippers
can only expect a loss when receipts
We're as liberal as Monday, because, as
quoted every day, packers do not want
prices to get up and use bearish tao
tics whenever given a chance, and es-
pecially after an advance has been
scored.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Wheat today was

Firmness was of short duration, the
market becoming weak toward the end
of the first hour of trading, and prices
declining approximately two cents
from the high point of the day. The
slump was due to general selling, in
Guiding sales by leading holders. There
was recovery on buying by shorts,

photooraphino Microbes.

One of the most interesting achieve
ments of science is the photographlng
of living disease germs. Given the
complicated machinery and processes
required to get the negative films for
any set of life-motion pictures, the
method of securing the films for germ
life is simpler than might be supposed.
The living germs to be pictured are put
on a lantern slide in blood or water
or other suitable medium and projected
on screen, just as they be by phy-
sician delivering a lecture and showing
to the class the actual live germs and
their habits.
Alongside the lantern is placed the
machine for getting the negative films
of the emotion pictures, and it Is
operated-taking pictures of the pro-
lection on the screen at the rate of
about thirty second-as by the Or
binary method The lantern, as usually
operated. magnifies the germ and
whatever else the slide contains about
100000 times. The negative film ma
chine magnifies the image on the
screen about three times, the resulting
total magnifcation being 100000.
Once the film strip is obtained in this
way it may be used in the ordinary
life motion picture machine again and
again.
Magnified to the extent named, the
germs of disease which have been iso-
lated and identified are readily observ-
able. They are seen being born. NOV
ing about. growing. giving birth to
other germs, and dying, just as they
do in real life. The machine may be
operated at different speeds-fast or
sloW-or it may be set back for close
or more detailed study of something
that has already been observed.
