COSTLY GIFT TO FILIPINO
BISHOP HAS VANISHED

The album was gotten UP at
great cost and its covers were
studded with precious stones. 1t
was presented to Mgr Barlin, but
the book was taken back to Ma
Mia under the pretense that there
were others who desired to sign
their names thereto. 1t is said that
the book was left in the care of a
prominent Filipino official.
Several Spanish and native pa.
pers now are demanding that
public accounting be made of the
money collected and the amount
expended for the album and Of its
real whereabouts. 1t is charged
that the silversmith who prepared
the covers of the book and inlaid
them with precious stones has not
yet been paid for his material anu
work.

distinguished appearance. For they
have style
One of the best ways ! know
to acquire an upright and dignified
carriage of the body Is the follow
ing:
Take a full breath and hold
same while walking up and down
the room, face turned toward the
ceiling and arms stretched up in
the same direction.
Afterward this movement should
be modified by walking about hold
ing the chest up and forward, face
turned toward the ceiling, while
the arms are allowed to swing
easily at the sides.
For ease of carriage l know of
no exercise better than this:
Stand easily, feet slightly apart.
Now begin to turn the body from
side to side as on a pivot, allowing
the arms to swing freely as they
will
The persistent practice of these
exercises will do much to cult
vate that erectness, ease and bal
ance of carriage which are com.

storm, Washington Meteor, Crystal
and Furnace Valley. Several bids
of 9 cents were made for Crystal,
but nothing was offered under 10
cents. This Is due to the fact that
there is a deal on for the property
with a French syndicate on the
basis of 271a cents per share net
to the stockholders. Representa-
tives of this syndicate are now on
their way from Paris for final ex-

deal will be closed.

PRICES STILL GAINING

While very few sales were made
at the short session today, prices
were firm andi a number of in
stances were higher than yester-
day. Panhandle was noticeably
weaker and there were apparent
efforts to keep the price down and
establish a low quotation at the
close. Gertie was in demand at
fractional higher prices than gen.

Copper was strong, closing at so
cents higher than a week ago. The

TELESCOPE FOR 80 CENTS

Do you want a 41-inch telescope
through which you can see the
mountains on the moon, the sun
spots, the satellites of Jupiter and
some of the double start? Well,
here is how to make such a tele-
scope for an outlaw of 80 cents.
Note the material needed:
Two round spectacle glasses. zoe
Al inches pasteDoard tubing. DC
Two small iron rings. ..........2 &c
Black ink ............ .........l &c
futly -. ''..'.'...' .''''' ~
Let one spectacle glass be a num-
Der 5 and the other number 80.
Get two pieces of pasteboaro
tubing of about the same length
So one piece will easily slide in
the other, telescope fashion. Black
en- the inside of the tubes with
black ink, or with any other black
ing that may be handy. Let the
tubes dry.
Fasten with putty the number 80
eye piece in the large end for
an object glass. Put the number 5
in the end of the small tube for an
eye glass. Fasten the two rings
snugly around the tubing directly
over the glasses so as to prevent
splitting of the tube, and also to
help hold the glasses in position.
Slide the tubings together, get the
best focus possible, and your tele-
scope is complete. This telescope
will magnify to six diameters.

the damage done the Mayo Mills

by lightning last week, at s75,-

with the aid Of the fire fighting
apparatus at the mill, the FIRE
was finally extinguished, not
however, until a great deal Of
damage to the machinery and
she mill had been done. But for
the prompt action Of those near
at hand at the time, the mills
would have been totally destroy
