Stork Day.

At Haslach, in the Kinzig valley, In
Germany, February 20 is a holiday and
has been observed as one for hun
dreds of years. Once upon time, the
story teller who explains its origin be-
gins, Haslach was overrun with
snakes, and no one knew how to drive
them out. One day a great flock Of
storks appeared. and they were the
saviors of the place. In recognition
Of this deliverance from the pest,
which occurred on February 2, the day
has been kept sacred and is known
as "Stork day An appointed official
known as the "Stork Father parades
the streets, followed by as many chill
dren as care to join the procession. He
wears his Sunday clothes" and a high
hat, decorated with two stuffed storks.
Stops are made by this procession at
houses along the line and the children
receive gifts of sweets and small
coins, every householder feeling
pleased to show his gratitude to the
stork.

HER SHARE IN THE OWNERSHIP.
Something Proud Young FatherSeemed
In Danger Of Forgetting.

He picked up the baby, he hoped,
Just as If picking babies up were an
everyday occurrence. In point of fact,
he remembered that an elderly lady
had told him in his youth that cats,
when lifted, like to be supported with
hand held underneath, and he
thought that this principle would work
out with babies, and 1t did. And hav.
ing awakened Louise, he handed her
back, triumphant, to Constance, diffus-
ing an air Of competency, as though he
could help rear any number of chill
dren at once. At any rate, she was
comforted. Whether he knew much
or little, he stood back Of her.
1t may be that Johns success as a
father led him to seem vainglorious
when he was not. He certainly put
on airs about the baby. 1t was not
long after this that he lured two old
friends ostensibly to dinner. His In
vitation did not include visit to
Louise, and, Of course, 1t was merely
an accident that she should have been
awake at the time when they were
there. AS a matter Of fact, she usually
awoke at that hour, but the men didn't
know this-or perhaps they wouldn't
have come. Men have becoming shy
ness about babies, and these were
bachelors.
John had arrived at that state Of ar
rogance when he actually went over
to the crib, and asking no ones per-
mission, picked Louise up and dis
played her to the two men, who were
as embarrassed as dog in the pres
ence Of June bug. He laid her down
again with an expert hand, and osten-
tatiously changed the Subject, to show
that he was not among those fathers
who pushed their children down other
peoples throats. But his manner
said:
"This is my baby; and when you fell
lows can show me anything as inter-
esting you will be Of value to So
ciety."
1t was after they had gone that Con-
stance came up, and put her hands on
Johns shoulders, and said:
After all, you know, it's my baby,
too. "-Woman's Home Companion.

Simple Arithmetic.

A Philadelphia of some scientific

Phosphorus of the Sea,

The phosphorescent light that is
often seen at sea, sometimes following
the ship like a great streak of fire, is
caused by variety of small animals,
chiefly crustacea. The globe-like
lights often seen at sea in the night
time are due to the Medusae, or jelly
fish. But the most dazzling displays
Of phosphorescence come from the
Pyrosoma, jelly-like, cylindrical
mass, measuring from two to ten
inches. These bodies congregate in
immense luminous shoals, floating
near the surface and sometimes en-
bracing the whole of the visible hori-
zon.

CONTACT STRUCK
AT BLACK ROCK.

Salt Lake City. Aug. 9.-Walter
James came up from Beaver county
this morning with fine looking samples
OF ore taken from the strike just made
in the property of the Black Rock Min
ing company in that county. The
strike was made In a drift from the
shaft at depth of 140 feet and the
rock shows a heavy percentage of iron
In addition TO good values In copper,
With some silver and gold. Some of
the samples show as high as 10 per
cent copper. with $3.50 gold and SIX
teen ounces of silver per ton. Mr
James is much pleased with the con
ditions at the property and he regards
the strike as being indicative of still
better things ahead. Indications are
that the vein. which Is about four
feet wide. will be a contact vein and
as 1t shows for more than half a mile
on the surface. Mr.. James is very san
guine about the development OF a mine
at the Black Rock In the course of
time.

MINING NEWS
UTAH MINES OUTPUT
OF COPPER IN JULY

Salt Lake. Aug, 9.-From authorita.
tive sources 1t Is learned that the out.
put OF copper in Utah during July ap.
proximated 100000 pounds. This is
probably as nearly the exact figures
as can be obtained this early in the
month, and shows that all previous
records in the matter of output Of the
red metal have been eclIpsed. It is
just possible that this estimate is a
little below the exact amount and.
to say the least, 1t is very conserva.
tive
The profit on this production is in
the neighborhoOd of 100000. One of
the gratifying features of this item
is the fact that there is constant i'm
provement being made in the recovery
of values and a consequent increase
in earnings This Is due to the fact
that TO some extent the metallurCIcal
problem has been largely experiment
al and the mammoth milling plants at
Garfield and Bingham are now being
rounded out into splendid working or

improbable. as is shown by the prof,
It's being made by Utah Copper and
Boston Consolidated. but that they
have introduced methods for handling
larger output at reduced cost with
greater saving of values.
In the large low grade producers 4
more economical mining charge IS
also being made. With the removal
of a large capplng, the steam shovel
operations arc being conducted with
less waste 10 handle, and every ton
OF the extraction is now of a grade OF
ore that can be commercialized at a
profit. Still further Improvements
are 10 be made In every department
Of this branch of the great mining In
dustry, and within another year some
reduction in smelling charges will un.
questionably be made.
When compared to just couple of
years ago. during the time that Utah
was given credit with very little cop
per. the change to production at tho
rate of 132,000.000 pounds Of copper
annually, and profits of s6.000000 a
year is something which every mining
man should view with much pride.
Students of mining take the view that
within a couple Of years more this out
put will be doubled In addition to a
greater tonnage 10 be handled by the
mines now in commission, at least a
half dozen other large properties will

GREATER ACTIVITY
IN BEAVER MINES

Salt Lake City, Aug. 9-W, ] Mer~
ritt, the mining man that opened up
the big ore bodies in the Red Warrior
In Beaver county, is in the city to at
tend the encampment When seen this
morning he said that they are eXper-
fencing greater activity throughout
the Star district at this time than at
any previous date. By actual count he
said. they were employing FIVE times
as many men now as they did just
one year ago, and as the number OF
shippers was increasing. he expects
to see this amount greatly increased
during the remainder of the year.
AT Red Warrior and Moscow they
are making regular shipments. AT
the Mammoth, Cedar, Talisman and a
few properties preparations are being
made TO mine and ship ores, while by
the time these properties are placed
safely in the list there will be others
ready for extraction of valuable met
ais. This Wow Is taken from the fact
that they are opening up so much viz
gin ground that Is within the limita-
tions of the proven mineral zone.
Some improvement throughout the
mining sections of Beaver county Is
anticipated as result of the renewal
of shipments at tho old Horn Silver
properties, When the Cactus mill is
recommissioned there will also be a
large number OF men employed from
the King David properties. within a
few months. Over at Minersvllle there

Provo. Aug 9-The prohibition
campaign in the city election tnls ran
promises to become interesting. Just
what action VA be taken by the two

for prohibition or that the people Will

the decision rendered by Judge How
