CHANGE OF BILL.

billed to play 'Romeo and Juliet. p

for? ?n
"What do I want 10 cents for ?"
repeated the leading man, bitterly.

PRESERVATION OF MILK.

A German patent specification de-
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means of tine addition of a small
quantity of ferrous carbonate. The
process is based on the fact that
freshly precipitated ferrous carbon
ate in the presence of oxygen imme-
diately assimilates oxygen and
evolves an equivalent quantity of
carbon dioxide. One part of ferrous
carbonate is sufficient for $4,000
parts of milk, and the properties of
the milk are not altered in any way
by the addition, which should be
made before the milk is boiled.

TASK TO TRY THE PATIENCE
Jissaw Puzzle Can Ee Made Really
Hard If One Goes About 1t the
Right Way.

qThe iigsaw puzzle may be very
difficult at first" said a victim Of
the rage, "but after you have put
one together a few times it comes
easier to you. Somehow you get the
hang of it, and you get actually to
recognize some chunk that fits into
the trunk of tree or tho leg of a
horse or the feather on hat, and
pretty soon you may come to be able
to put this puzzle together rather
rapidly and you say to yourself: '0h,
that isn't so hard
"But if you want something hard
just turn the blocks of the same
puzzle upside down and get the plain
side of the wood up, no pictures, no
lines, no guide whatever in putting
them together, just those jiggly
blocks with a perfectly plain surface,
and then try putting the puzzle to-
gether.
"Then you'll find yourself with a
job on hand that will give you some
thing to do sure enough, that will
tax your patience really"

TO PHOTOGRAPH LIGHTNING.

The best way to hold the camera
to photograph lightning, says the
Scientific American, is to place it
close to the body, fitting it somewhat
upward so as to get as much of the
sky in the picture as possible, and
swinging the body from side to side.
The time and angle of the swing
can be regulated with a little prac-
tice so as to be fairly accurate. With
the utmost care, however, the ele-
ment of luck enters into the work
to a considerable degree, and the
game is one of patience and per-
severance.

what the Bill Provides.
The idea of the commission plan is
to reduce the management of munic-
ipal affairs to as nearly a business
basis as possible. BY the provisions
of the bill. there can be no party poll
tics in city affairs. Ward boundaries
and the ward system of representa-
ton are abolished, the mayor and
he commissioners being elected at
large, by all of the people.
The bill provides for government
Of cities by a mayor and four com
nissioners, each commissioner to be
responsible for certain municipal
department. 1t provides that all pub
lie utility franchises must be referred
to vote of the people and that a
certain per cent of the voters may
by petition, call special election fcT
the purpose of recalling any official
who may prove incapable or I'M
worthy.
1t provides for primary election
before which there may be any num-
Der of candidates. however, upon
a single ticket At this primary cleo
ton the two names for mayor re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
shall be the candidates for mayor
and the eight names for commits
sioners receiving the highest number
of votes shall be the candidates fol

At the regular election there will
be but the one ticket, upon which
there will be printed the names OF
the two candidates for mayor and the
eight candidates for commissioners
Voters will vote for one of the may
orally candidates and four of the
commissioners candidates, and the
enc receiving the highest number OF
votes for commissioners shall be de-
clarcd elected.
Such a law would be applicable tC

which, by vote of its people, should
adopt it. with the exception of Chi
