TIPPED THE LID, LIT IN JAIL
Experience of Two Dealers Who
Thought to Relieve Thirst.
OFFICERS RAID DRINKING PLACES
Mary NOvack and p. j. Christensen
VIII BE Arraigned This Morning
on Charge of Violating
SIOcumb Law.

Two alleged violaters of the Slocumb law
were arrested by the police Sunday morn
ing. when a house on lower Capitol avenue
and a saloon at 62S Pacific street were
raided. Mrs. Mary Novack 1908 Capitol
avenue, is held on the charge of violating
the law by selling liquor on Sunday and
p. J. Christensen, the saloon man, is
charged with keeping his saloon open on
Sunday.
Police Sergeant Samuelson and Officers
Morgan and Driscoll made the arrests.
Mrs. Novack's place had been raided a
number OF times for various causes within
the last year or two. once on the charge
Of violating the law in connection with
the sale of liquor. The police say that
Christensen was warned a week ago
against Sunday liquor sales.
Acting City Prosecutor TePoel got busy
Sunday as a result of the numerous ar
rests made yesterday and the day before
1t is expected complaints on the liquor
cases will be ready for filing In police
court this morning.
Thirteen Inmates Taken.
Eight men found in the Novack place
were arrested, on the charge of being
inmates of a disorderly house when the
place was raided by the officers. Similar
charges were placed against five taken
out OF the Christensen saloon. All the
persons arrested were released on bonds
for appearance in court this morning
Four cases OF bottled beer from the No
vack house and basket of bottled goods
from the saloon were confiscated by the
police.
Convictions in these cases would result
in fines of 500 each for the proprietors.
The inmates will probably escape with
light fines, as in previous cases, or may
be used as witnesses for the state.
With yesterdays arrests. six saloon
cases have so far been made out this
month by the police who have detailed
men every Sunday for the work, and are
carefully watching for slocumb law vio-
lators. OF the six cases, two have resulted
in convictions, two cases were dismissed
and two are yet to be disposed OF.

WHEN LUCK FAILS.


Unhoused and often unsheltered
wild animals suffer more than is gen.
orally understood. No one can esti-
mate the deaths of year from severe
cold, heavy storms, high winds and
tides. In "The Lay of the Land"
Dallas Lore Sharp tells of whole col.
onies of gulls and terms swept away
by great storm and describes some
of the fatalities of the little people of
the wood.
We have all held our breath at the
hazardous travelling of the squirrels in
the treetops. What other animals take
such risks, leaping at dizzy heights
from bending limbs to catch the tips
of limbs still smaller, saving them
selves again and again by the merest
chance?
But luck sometimes fails My broth
err. a careful watcher in the woods
was hunting on one occasion, when he
saw gray squirrel miss it's footing
in tree. fall, and break it's neck upon
a log beneath.
l have frequently known them to
fall short distances, and once I saw
red squirrel come to grief like the
gray squirrel mentioned above. He
was scurrying through the tops of
some lofty pitch pines, a little hurried
and flustered at sight of me, and near
ing the end of a high branch was in
the act of springing. when the dead
tip cracked under him and he came
tumbling headlong.
The height must have been forty
feet, so that before he reached the
ground he nad righted himself, his
tail out and legs spread; but the fall
was too great. He hit the earth heav-
lily, and before l could reach him lay
dead upon the pine needles.
Hasty, careless, miscalculated move
ments are not as frequent among the
careful wild flock as among human
beings. perhaps; but there is abundant
evidence of their occasional occurrence
and of their sometimes fatal results.

SIMPLE WAY TO FROST GLASS.
Tells of Using Glue to Produce
Desired Effect.

A French chemist has discovered a
very simple and easy way to frost glass,
says the Practical Druggist. The meth
cd is to cover a tumbler or hottie or 9th
er glass object with a thin, smooth and
thoroughly laid on covering of glue. Eli
Their very good cabinetmakers glue or
fish glue viii serve perfectly. The only
care that must be taken is to see that
there are no air bubbles in the glue aft
er it has been applied and that the coat
Ing is uniform and of even thickness
over the entire article.
Glue thus applied to glass sticks to 1t
very tightly. ten it begins TO contract
as it dries Now, its tight hold on the
glass prevents ,he layers of glue from
contracting without pulling at the glass,
and thus, litt,e hy little, the glue Sits
and splits tiny fragments from the sur
face of the glass.
If certain salts are added to the glue
the effect is still more beautiful, because
then the splitting of the tiny fragments
is done in such a manner that the re-
suit forms perfect resemblance to
frosted window pane. a glass tumbler or
flask so treated becomes a beautiful or
nament to the room or the glass cabin

Historic whitewash.

At a certain dinner, described in a
recently published volume of English
"reminiscences, entitled Memories of
Two Sisters" Carlyle was among the
guests. The philosopher was in high
feather and inveighed against phil
anthropists, somewhat to the annoy
ance of a Miss Eliot who sat beside
him, and who was closely identified
with good works.

"of men and women spending their
lives trying to whitewash what God
Almighty has made black and meant
to be black, instead of doing good to
unfortunate honest people,
Miss Eliot was not a philanthropist
of the submissive sort She looked
from Carlyle to Froude. sitting at the
other end of the table, and pleasantly
remarked to Dean Milman at her

InocuIation of Clover.

Clovers do not always grow as read
ly or as vigorously as might be ex-
2ected from the richness of the soil. In
oy scientists that the growth Of plants
Of this class (clovers, peas and beans)
Is dependent to some extent on the
presence of small nodules or punches
on the roots These nodules contain
bacteria which in some mysterious way
assist the roots in taking up food from
the soil. If these bacteria are not
present In the soil the clovers will be
likely to make poor growth-indeed,
alfalfa may not make any growth II
the proper kind Of bacteria are sup
piled and the incubation OF soil and
root is successful the plants will show
extra vitality
Cultures containing these bacteria
have been sent out to farmers from
the Ontario Agricultural College for
the past four years, with directions
for applying to the fields that are be-
ing seeded with clover. Last season
300 farmers reported that their alfalfa
crops had been benefited by the appli-
cation while 40 reported that there
was no gain. With alsike clover TIE

SHOOTING FOR aKEEps.n
Methuselah, London's Famous Tortoise
Is Dead.

London's oldest living link with tba
past is broken. The 250-year-old tortoise
Methuselah. who has been one of tbe
curiosties of the zoo, has ended his
earthly career. No more will crowds
gather around his cage and discuss him
during his winter nap, and no more will
parents and governesses take him as \
text to deliver little historical talk on
the Gays of the great plague or the time
when Milton wrote Paradise LOST and
the tortoise was young and frivolous.
Since November Methuselah has baen
alternating in the tortoise house in a
snug corner beside the hot water pines
From outward appearances he might
have been dead then, yet he was alive
and apparently doing well, and when the
sunny weather came his awakening was
looked forward to daily. The end of last
week his keeper noticed a change in
him and an examination showed thar
from Information the veteran had sunJc
peacefully into death.
Methuselah was a very long time in
settling down to his last sleep. He
showed signs of activity on November
1, which was two months after his
usual time of entering into Information.
Now his keeper thinks possibly he had
premonitions that this was to be his last
sleep, and he hesitated to settle down
to it.
Henry, the 200-year-old tortoise, is
now the doyen of the zoo.

Soil Temperature and Seed Germina-
ton.

Scientists have discovered that the
lowest soil temperature at which the
process OF growth begins in most cul-
tivated crops is As TO 48 degrees Fab
renheit, but the maximum results are
attained only after the soil has reach
ed temperature OF 68 to 20 degrees.
The termination of wheat, rye, oats
and fax go forward most rapidly at
II to SIS, and corn and pumpkins ger
inmate best at 90 to 1O1. Corn will
grow at temperature of 81, requiring
eleven days to come through, while it
will terminate in three days at 65.3
degrees. Oats require seven days to
terminate at Al, whereas they will ger
inmate in two days at IS degrees.
These facts emphasize the import
ance of so cultivating the soil as to
develop heat at the earliest possible
period Our seep soils where irriga-
ton has played hob can not warm up
because they must first evaporate the
water Sandy soils warm more quick
y than adobe for reasons which every
body understands, The depth of plant
ing also has a great deal to do with
the termination, and we are hoping
that this spring will not linger long IN
the lap Of winter as was the case with
the last two or three seasons.-Denver

OLDEST SCHOONER AFLoAT.
The Polly Was Built in Massachusetts,
104 Years Ago.

The famous schooner Polly is now in
southern waters in active commission.
The Polly is the oldest American
schooner afoat and one of the oldest
vessels in the world in actual commits
sion. Built at Amesbury, Mass, in 1905,
no schooner sailing in any waters has
bad a more varied life. The little sixty
1--we ton craft was a privateer in 1872,
was CAPTURED by and escaped from the
British, sailed to the Golden Gate in
1919 and around the world several times,
being regarded in her time as one of the
fastest sailors on the seas.
Even today, after more than a century
of buffeting the pillows of many oceans,
the Polly can show her heels to many a
modern coaster in a run from Calais to
Boston
Under the command of Capt. Jeduthun
Upton, of Salem, Mass, more than four
score years ago the Polly's decks bristled
with guns as she secured the seas prey
Ing upon British commerce, until cap
tured by His Majesty's ship Phoebe of
fortyfour guns. Captain and crew were
taken to England and held as prisoners
Tor several months.
The national society of the Daughters
Of 1912 is doing everything in its power
to preserve complete records of the Pol
lys career, and has obtained much valu-
able data.
The craft was built of the best white
oak and was new topped in 1850. While
the Polly has of course been repaired
from time to time, her timbers, plank
ing, etc, are the identical material that
she was built of 104 years ago.
