When. the comp.s. Cam. From.

The earliest references to the use
of the mariners compass are to be
found in Chinese history, from
which we learn how in the sixty
fourth year of the reign of Hoaug-
ii 1854 B. c. the emperor attacked
Tehiyeon on the plains of Tehou-
lou and, finding his army embar-
rassed by thick fog raised by the
enemy, constructed an instrument
for indicating the south. 20 as to
distinguish the four cardinal points,
and was thus enabled to pursue his
adversary and capture him.
The power of the loadstone to
communicate polarity to iron is
said to be for the first time explicit
ly mentioned in IA Chinese diction-
ary, finished in \. d. lei, where
the loadstone is defined as "a stone
with which an attraction can be
given to the needle"
The Chinese appear to have once
navigated as far as India by the aid
of the compass.

HEALING RADiUM sPRING.
Curative Properties In Water of Aus
trian Uranium Mines.

About eighteen miles from Carlsbad
is the small town of St Joachimsta,.
where the Austrian government has
one Of its tobacco factories. and about
three miles from that town, up in the
hills, at a place which is difficult to
reach. are the imperial uranium
works, which have become famous
during the last few years on account
of the radium found in the uranium
stone. There is also government
factory at st. JOachimstai where
chemical colors are made from the
uranium and shipped to all parts OF
the country. About two years ago the
imperial managers of the uranium
mines made a report to the govern
ment authorities that the water of the
mine WAS found to contain radium.
and medical experts have since de-
clared that these waters are of high
medical value In certain diseases.
Recently most of the Austrian news
papers have published items according
to which the Austrian government is
convinced of the high value of these
waters and intends to take charge
thereof, construct a proper radium
spring and build hotels. which 1t will
control.-Consular Report.

A Brides Little Scheme.

Nearly all brides are getting
tired of cut glass for wedding pres
ents because they always get so
much more than they can ever use,"
remarked jeweler recently, "but
l never heard of one going SO far
to block the cut glass as little
bride that was in here the other
day.
"She told me her name and ask
ed me if wouldn't keep my ears
cooked for any customer who
might come in to buy a wedding
present and mention her name. My
part Of the game was to tell the
customer that she had dropped
remark about not caring for cut
glass. She said she had been to
two other stores and fixed up the
same deal with them Cleveland

tn. Cubic Content. Of Ocean Ar,.,,

The mean height Of all the land now
above the sea is referred to by Lyell as
being 1000 feet. The mean depth Of
the ocean is at least 1900 feet-that
Is, 1t exceeds the height of the land
twelve times. This is because the ex-
treme heights Of the land. although
probably no less than the extreme
depths Of the sea. yet are exceptional
heights. while the ocean maintains its
depth over enormous areas. Owing to-
the fact that the surface of the ocean
to that of the land is as two and a half

new CITY HALL
FOR OTTuMWA
MAYOR PHILLIPS RECOMMENDS
CREATING OF FUND IN TAX
LEVY.
BUILDING OUTGROWN
Mayor Would Have 100000 or $4,000
Spent In New Structure to do
Credit to the City for Years
to Come.
BUILDING OUTGROWN

OttumWa will have new city hall
some day Whether it is within the
next few years or ten, it is for the sue
ceeding city councils to determine. At
any rate Mayor Phillips recommends
that action be taken looking toward
creating fund for the erection of a
city hall building costing in the neigh
borhood of 100000 to $4,000.
In a communication Of recommends
ton to the council the mayor cites the
dilapidated condition of the old struc-
ture which has done service for years,
and which now is outgrown, and which
is wholly inadequate for city purposes.
Mayor Phillips recommends that in
the tax levy about to be made, some
provisions be arranged for the found
ing of fund for city hall purposes,
and that each council add to this fund
until such time when a creditable
structure can be built.
The mayors recommendation fol-
lows:
Mayors Recommendation.
Gentlemen of the City Council of the
City of Ottumwa, Iowa:
1t Is now about time for your honor
able body to make the tax levy for
the various funds for the maintenance
of our city, and before the finance
committee brings in it's recommends.
ton, l would like to call to your at
tention the necessity Of a new city
hall
For some twelve or fifteen years I
have been closely identified with this
municipality, and there has not been
a month during this time that it has
not come to nv mind or been called
to my attention, the necessity of hav-
ing new quarters for our various city
officers, police patrol, Jail for male and
female prisoners, etc. ,etc.
This present city hall is unsightly,
unsanitary and in my opinion unsafe,
and entirely too small for a city of
this size.
A city is judged more or less by its
city buildings and as as advertisement
feature alone, in my Judgment, we
should have building costing from
sixty to seventy-fve thousand dollars.
l realize, gentlemen, from the other
expenses we have staring us in the
face, more especially the water works
proposition, that it would be unwise
to recommend large levy for the pur.
pose of building in one or two years
but in view of the fact that it will be
absolutely necessary to have a new
city hall in five, six or eight years,
would recommend that your non orable
body make a small levy for the com
ing year, and that future councils
continue this levy until such time that
there will be fund sufficient to build
a new home for this city that will be
a credit to the city of Ottumwa.
Yours respectfully.
T. ]. Phillips, Mayor.
