BIG COST TO CITY,

It will cost Salt Lake City several
thousand dollars to handle it's snow
problem in the business district alone.
One hundred men are employed today
with 20 teams hauling snow out OF
the cutters. This is a preliminary
step taken to clear the cutters SO that
when the thaw gets fully under way
The streams may not become entirely
unmanageable. The snow is being piled
on State and First South streats
through the use of scrapers and loaded
into wagons to be hauled to the nearest
possible dumping grounds. Serious
trouble is feared In all the canals and
bitches when the thaw reaches its
height, IL a sudden warm wave should
follow the storm.

Fort Douglas was showed in during
the storm and its garrison is now oc-
cupied in making paths as substitute
for early morning drill, and other ma
neuvers. The drifts on the parade
ground bring the total depth of snow
to nearly two feet. while the absence
of street car service has marooned the

service reached the fort today, after

DEW Fruit on the Table.

Fruits seem very much in favor for
dinner decorations this winter Like
paintings in their massing of colors
are some of the special designs in
still life," now adjoining tables. At
a luncheon the other day the center
piece was made up of black and white
grapes in alternate punches on a wide
low grape dish. Small chips of ice and
silvery leaves filled the interstices.
Before this dish was placed upon the
table, the hostess confded to one of
her guests, charged water from sy-
phon was squirted over the ice, care
being taken not to let it touch the
fruit. In less than half an hour beads
of dew covered the fruit, making the
grapes extra attractive because OF
their seeming freshness.

Details of the Microscope.

which the average person can see a.
object clearly is about six inches, it
follows that the diameter of an object
three-fourths of an inch from the eye
would appear eight times the norma,
size. The object would then be magni
fed eight diameters, or 81 times. (The
area would appear 81 times as large)
But an object three-fourths of an inch
from the eye appears so blurred that
none of the details are discernible
and it is for this reason that the
pin-hole is employed.
Viewed through this microscope,
fiy's wing appears as large as a per
sons hand, held at arms length, and
has the general appearance shown il
Fig. 8. The mother of vinegar ex-
amined in the same way is seen to be
swarming with mass of wriggling lit
tie worms, and may possibly cause the
observer to abstain from all salads for
ever after. An innocent looking drop
of water, in which hay has been
soaked for several days, reveals hun
dreds of little infusoria, darting across
the field in every direction. These and
hundreds of other interesting objects
may be observed in this little instru-
ment, which costs little or nothing tc
make.

EASILY MADE CASE
FOR EMBROIDERY SILK
A NECESSARY LUXURY.

In these days, when hand embroid-
cry is so much in demand, neces-
sary article in embroidering is a case
for the embroidery silk. 1t is a neces-
sary luxury, for it keeps the silk and
floss from becoming mussed, raveled
and untidy. It's construction is quite
simple, and anyone who does any
amount of fancy work should spend
both the time, money and labor re-
quired to make this case rather than
be without it.
1t requires two pieces Of cardboard
three inches wide and ten inches
long. A fancy silk or piece of bro
caded or Dresden ribbon is used to
cover the outside. This should be
IN inches wide and IL inches long,
and lining of white China silk the
same size is used. Three inches from
each end on the longest side sew
piece of ribbon an inch wide and join
it to the opposite side. Now lay the
China silk and the ribbon together
evenly and sew through the middle,
crosswise, with two rows of stitching
a quarter of an inch apart. Now place
the cardboard, which you have pre-
viously padded with layer of cotton
batting, into each side and haste the
outside covering and the lining to-
gether so as to hold the cardboard in.
Now bind the four edges with the rib
bon which was used for the little
straps. Take a piece of white flannel
eight inches long and two inches
wide and pink the edge. Slip this IN
der the two straps of ribbon on one
side of the case. This is to hold
needles of all kinds and sizes. If the
silk which you use is cased in little
round paper holders slip several of
them under the ribbon bands on the
other side of the cover.

MICROSCOPE WITHOUT A LENS
You Can Make One at Cost of Little
Time and Trouble.

Nearly everyone has heard of the
pin-hole camera, but the fact that the
same principle can be used to make a
microscope, having magnifying
power of eight diameters GA times) will
perhaps be new to some readers.
To make this lensless microscope,
procure a wooden spool, A Ca short
spool, say one-half or three-fourths
inch long, produces a higher magni-
flying power), and enlarge the bore
little at one end. Then blacken the
inside with india ink and allow it to
dry. From piece of thin transparent
cel1uloid or mica, cut out a small disc,
B, and fasten to the end having the
enlarged bore by means of brads. On
the other end glue piece of thin
cardboard, G, and at the center, D,
make small hole with the point of a
fine needle. 1t is very important that
the hole D should be very small, other
wise the image will be blurred
To use this microscope, place small
object on the transparent disc, which
may be moistened to make the object
adhere, and look through the hole d.
1t is necessary to have a strong light
to get good results, and, as in all mi
croscopes of any power, the object
should be of transparent nature.
The principle on which this instru-
ment works is illustrated in Fig. 2.
The apparent diameter of an object is
inversely proportional to it's distance
from the eye, i. e., if the distance is
reduced to one-half, the diameter will
appear twice as large; if the distance
is reduced to one-third, the diameter
will appear three times as large, and
so on. AS the nearest distance at
