COLLIE DIED OF GRIEF.

A handsome black collie, belong ing to Robert Boyle, merchant in Chester, Pa., died of grief the other morning. Several weeks ago MT. Boyle's 14-month-old son Robert was taken i'll. At first the collie simply played about the child, it's evident purpose being to amuse the little one. Finally the child became worse, and from the time the dog heard its little master groan with pain 1t re- fused food and drink. The collie would lie for hours beside the child's bed, and when put out of the room would crouch at the door and whine piteously. The dog become a mere skeleton and starved itself to death through grief.

MOTORING BY sEARcHLiGHT.

Only with a swivel lamp is it possible to determine the sharpness of turns and their radius at night before striking them, thereby en- abling the driver to regulate his speed to suit each turn. In topping the crest of a rise, the swivel search light can be depressed to throw the light down the incline on the other side, while the fixed headlights are still projecting their rays uselessly into the sky. The searchlight is of the greatest convenience, too, in reading crossroads signboards at night when, without the swivel fea- ture, it would be necessary either to maneuver the car into an awkward position to throw the light of the fixed lamps upon the sign, or for some one in the machine to get out and light a match in front of it-a pro- ceeding that has its difficulties on a windy night.-Recreation.

LIGHTHOUSE WITH NO LIGHT
Cone of Cast Iron Plates with Lantern Containing Prism Is Fully as
 Effective.

On a sunken reef $50 feet distant from Stornoway lighthouse is re- markable beacon which warns mari ners with the help of a light which is only apparent.
 The beacon is a cone of cast iron plates surmounted with a lantern containing glass prism. The prism derives it's light from refracting the rays emitted from the lighthouse. and the optical delusion is marvel ous.
 Mariners naturally suppose that there is lighted lamp on the beacon itself, and many of them will not be- Geve otherwise. But the object of the beacon is attained when the navi- gator sees the reflected light, which indicates the perilous rock below. This beacon has been in use more than half a century and since it was fixed in position others have been placed in other neighborhoods to make clear points of danger.-Tech- ncal World.

All Markets Lower

Denver Union Stock Yards,
August 16-The receipts of cattle
were very fair last week and de-
mand good. Prices were 10 to 15
per cent higher on Monday owing
to the light supply, but later in
the week there was some decline,
steers losing about all they had
gained and COWS about dime
more. Some good North Park
steers sold on Monday at 1856 and
Wyomings brought $3.50, but it
took good ones at the close to
get above S5.25 with fair killers
ranging from this down to S4.35.
Corn fed steers we're strong all
week, a bunch of fancy Kansas
stuff selling at s725 the highest
price of the year outside of show
stuff. Fancy COWS from North
Park sold at $3.50 on Monday and
Wyomings brought s420, but not
many later in the week got above
S4OO with bulk of pretty decent
killers at S3.35 to S3.65 and medi-
um grades at S2.75 to S325. Bulls
sold about steady at 1925 to S2.75.
Veals also went at steady prices,
best selling at S6.20. Feeders and
stocker supply light. Demand
very fair Prices rule about the
same on good steers but weak on
others. Today's receipts l,50O

supplied and lower, the result be-
ing drop of 10 to Is per cent.
here.
Hog demands were strong all
week and the market in nice
shape, with prices paid here rela-
lively higher than same class of
stuff at the river. Good hogs to-
day sold at $3.50 to $7.7O.
Sheep trade was active during
the week and prices closed fully
steady. Good lambs brought $7.25,
ewes sold at $4.35, and wethers at
$3.50 with yearlings quotable up
to $500 and possibly a little
higher. Demand was good and
receipts fair.
