over $1,000 yards.
The total amount Of excavation remaining TO he

TO you who know what Vacuum Bottle ought to be-


-Caloris bottle holds its vacuum
permanently.
-Caloris bottle can be taken from
the metal case easily in half mo-
ment.
-Caloris bottles are made by a
process that is defnite-not expert
mental There are no bad patches.
In other bottles the enormous ex-
pense Of factory failures adds TO the
cost Of the bottles that are salable-
All this is saved by the Calorts
method Of manufacture.
-Caloris bottle gives longer service.
and therefore costs less to use. II
Is a utility now instead Of a luxury.
Other bottles, which cost more 70
buy. give short. uncertain services;
Caloris bottle, which costs less, gives
long, reliable service.
-Caloris bottle is welded firmly
where the outer and inner glass
walls are Joined at the neck. This
Is the one point that has more strain
and gives out oftener than any other
spot In a vacuum bottle All other
vacuum bottles are weak at this
point That's why they give out
easily
-Caloris bottle Is guaranteed 20
hold its power for life. Other bot
ties, being short-lived, are guaran-
teed only 80 or so days.

LEAPS FROM WINDOW;
RUNS THROUGH STREET
Crazed Man. Hurt In Runaway, is Ia
ken TO Hospital, Where He
Raves All Night.

GRAND RAPIDS. July 14.-Leaping
from the window OF Kelley's livery
barn on Kent-st., a distance OF nearly
20 feet. an insane man ran up the
street shouting at the top OF his voice.
Persons in the vicinity OF police head
quarters heard the man and as he ran
by the Ottawa street side he was
caught by Patrolmen Fitzpatrick and
Mccarthy and taken 10 the Detention
hospital.
The man gave his name as William
+. Hunt. 20 years old. but little could
be learned OF him. All night he raved
in the hospital and II was necessary
10 place him in straight jacket In
prevent him from committing some
act OF violence.
Hunt went To work at the livery
stable only yesterday. When he came
to work his nose was badly bruised,
indicating that he had met with some
accident. He explained this disfigure-
ment by saying that he was driving a
horse in the country when the animal
became frightened at an automobile
and ran away. He was thrown from
the buggy with great force, striking
his head against stump, he said.
This explanation is regarded by the
authorities with much credence and II
is possible that the mans brain was
injured in the accident.
Hunts shouts could be heard last
night for blocks. His jump from the
window occurred about 1880. When
he was removed to the hospital he
asked for an ak that he might remove
the doors from their hinges An eff
fort will be made to locate the young
mans relatives If he has any.
