of Apollonius. An attribute OF the sun

the power Of attracting that metal, In

of Theagenes and Charicles says that
the topaz saves from fire all those who
wear it and that Charicles was pre-

Will Enforce New Oil Laws.

Edward T.. Tracy, state oil in
spector, and his fifty-three depu-
ties, scattered about the state. will
begin rigid enforcement of new
state laws relative to selling oil pro-
ducts, Aug. 1st.
He has sent for fifty-five Taglia-
bue, Yale tested hydrometers for
use in determining the quality OF
gasoline sold, and armed with these
he expects to bring up the standard
of quality.
A law passed by the last legisla-
ture makes it imperative that deal
ers in gasoline, benzine. naphtha,
and other products of petroleum in
bulk or by tank wagon shall fill out
a certificate covering deliveries, GER
tifying to the fire test of the goods
delivered and giving the number of
degrees at which the product flashes
and that at which it burns and the
gravity test, the test to have been
made by the state oil inspection de-
partment, and stating the date when
such test was made.
The law provides that any person
who shall "dispose of, or attempt to
dispose of any oil, gasoline. benzine,
naphtha or other like prophets of
petroleum. under whatever name
called, for illuminating, heating or
power purposes, which shall not
have been examined Or tested under
the provisions OF this act, or which,
having been so tested, shall have
been marked as rejected, or who.
shall knowingly use or furnish" for
such purposes the product which
shall not have been properly tested
and sealed or marked shall be liable
to a fine of not less than s. nor
over $500.
The law fur sher provides for fine
of not less Than $50 nor more than
$500 for one who shall wilfully adul-
terate illuminating or heating oil by
adding benzine, naphtha, parafine
oil or any other substance.
Every person dealing at retail or
wholesale in gasoline. benzine or
naphtha and other like products of
petroleum ia this state, shall deliver
the same to the purchaser, only in
receptacles painted vermillion red
and having the word gasoline, :"
"benziae" or the name of such other
product as it maybe, plainly stencil
ed upon, the receptacle in English.
The law as passed will particular
ly affect those dealers who have
sold diluted gasoline to be used y
automobile and for other power pur :
poses.

POLISHING a Diamond.

The polishing Of diamond is very
slow process, because of the great
hardness of the material; besides this,
the work must be frequently inter
rupted to allow the disk to cool out
after it has become Overheated by
friction. Each time new facet is to
be cut the diamond must be removed
from the dop and reset at another
angle, and the diamond cutter trusts to
his eye alone to guide him in this deli
cate adjustment, although In the case
Of very small diamonds a magntfytns
glass is necessary. The skill shown
in placing the stone in the heated
metal, sometimes with the bare hand,
is surprising. The regular brilliant
has ffty-six facets, besides the table
and the collet-thirty-tw above the
girdle and twenty-four below-but as
eight facets are first formed, both
above and below. leach Of these being
recut into three or four smaller ones,
there are considerably more than fifty.
six separate surfaces to be cut.-Dr.

Called His Papa Down.

Little Willy is a bright boy and q
saucy boy. His apt answers have
often turned away wrath and often
turned it upon him strongly. The 9TH
er day his father was reprimandins
him for some misdeed, and Willy was
answering very saucily. The father
became very angry and, seizing the
youngster by the collar, said: "See
here, young man, you must not talk
like that to me. / never gave my ia
ther impudence when l was q boy"
Willy was not feazed at all. With .
cherubic smile he looked into papa's
eyes and said, "But, papa, maybe your
father didn't need it," Twas all OF.
Willy escaped punishment, while papa
retired to another room.

The news that science had at length
discovered the means of destroying
the germ of the last Ill which flesh
was heir to called forth rapturous re-
joicings throughout the world.
"Henceforth perfect health will

congratulations.

somebody having invented a micro

Man Will Fly.

A heavier than air machine has
crossed the English channel. This,
the most spectacular of all man
flights in air, ought to demonstrate
to skepticai p 'rsons that man has
mastered the art of flight and that
general lse Of the aeroplane is only
a question of time.
The feat of the Frenchman. Bleriot
is in no sense remarkable, as COM
pared to the work of other aero
nauts. The distance covered was
only twenty miles, or Whereabouts,
and the flight was straight-away
one under fairly favorable condi-
tions. The machine was in the air
not more than half an hour. Other
Frenchmen and several Americans.
among them the Wright brothers,
have done better than this, and
could no doubt have crossed the
channel had they attempted it, And
as his flight, though not the longest
or most difficult, was the most
spectacular and emphasized the
most strongly the practical utility
the aeroplane, it will be a definite
landmark in the history of flying.
Tt IS unsafe to indulge in extended
prophesy, but it would seem reason
able to suppose the aeroplanes,
though they may not be used COM,
mercially fer some time to come, if
at all, will prove a very big factor
in modern warfare as scouts and,
if we may use the term. as destroy
ers. A machine which can carry
man for twenty miles at height
of $50 feet with the ability $50
Bleriot testifed) of carrying him
much farther, ought to prove very
troublesome and dangerous foe for
an invading army or fleet. 1t is in
teresting to note the activity of the
war departments of various nations
in this direction, and also the in
creasing discussion of the effective
ness of aeroplanes as war agents.
Furthermore, serious legal minds
are beginning to consider questions
like the ownership of the air, aerial
right Of way, etc., and France. for
one, even has certain laws touching
some of these matters.
Whatever the degree of our re-
lationship to the Missourian.
we must all admit that we
have been ''shown." Man has
flown, and for considerable dis
lance. If he can fly twenty miles,
or forty miles, or fifty miles, there
is no reason why he cannot fly much
farther within the next few DAYS.
We may not expect to see flying
machines swoop through the air
like automobiles down our city
streets during the present genera
tion-though even that is not i'm
possible but we can rest assured
that growing number of scie ! lists
and sport loving amateurs will
tackle the problems that remain,
and will demonstrate increasingly
that Darius Green was not such a
scatter Drained idiot as our fathers
have held him to BEN Milwaukee

A butter and egg man was visited by
a chap who bought four of his best
eggs. This chap took the eggs home,
put them on to boil, told his wife to
take them off at the end of three min
utes and then went upstairs to shave.
When he came down again half an
hour later the eggs were still boiling
away. He removed them from the pot,
put them in cold water, dried them
and gave them to his little daughter.
''Take these eggs back" he said, 'to
