increased from POO TO 400 per cent, he
said. The cost of operation of our sys-

Ions of water is &0l42; if electricity
were used it would be $.017S6; if coal
is used $.0l779. He estimated the

STRANGER THAN FICTION

IN many parts of Australia, where civiliza-
! tion has not yet secured much of a footing.
the old ramshackle stagecoaches still transport
mail and passengers over desolate tracts Of land
otherwise inaccessible. On one of these trips
a tenderfoot was sitting next to the driver, who,
in accordance with the custom of these fellows,
was stuffing the stranger with all sorts of wild
stories.
"Yes," he pursued, you'll see lots of queer
things over here. Why, in this part of the
country the kangaroos collect and distribute
the mails"
A little later on, by great good fortune a
kangaroo happened to be standing up on its
launches right against the rough stage trail
some distance off, looking intently toward the
coach. There you are!" said the driver
calmly, pointing to the kangaroo. There's
one Of 'ern now. See the mailbag around his
neck?" Sure enough, there was a kangaroo.
and the pouch arrangement which Nature has
bestowed upon this animal for the carrying of
its young looked at this distance uncommonly
like mailbag. At the same time the tender
foot was a bit skeptical.
The driver knew exactly how near he could
get to the kangaroo before fear overcame its
natural curiosity, and when that point had been
reached he gave his whip great crack and
shouted out at the top of his voice, We've
nothing for you to-day, sir,-nothing for you
to-day?' Off went the kangaroo by leaps and
bounds. AS there was no mail for him, why
should he wait?
by Heck!" gasped the tenderfoot, 81
thought you were joking!"

STONE MOVED BY THE SUN

A N interesting object is to be seen in a ceme-
"A terry of Ohio.--a large granite stone weigh
ing two tons in the shape of ball which is
gradually turning on its axis.
1t is stated that during the last five years
this ball has turned fraction over thirteen
inches. When the ball was placed in position,
an unpublished spot six inches in diameter was
purposely left in the socket of the pedestal
whereon it rested A little later it noted
with astonishment that this spot was turning
upward on the south side of the monument
This curious revolution of the huge polished
ball, to lift which would require large derrick,
is supposed to be due to the suns action, in the
following manner: The solar rays heating one
side cause the ball to expand to certain de-
gree, whereas the north side, which rests mostly
in the shade does not expand to the same
tent thus causing the bali gradually to shift its
position by turning.

A BAND OF DEAF MUTES

NNE of the odd things in the world of music
~ is brass band composed of deaf and

of the New York Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb. and comprise the only band of deaf

The first step toward teaching the boys to
play was made with doorkey hollow at one
end From this beginning to a fully organized

Of unfailing patience on part of the boys and
