Pasadena, CAL, January 27.-C1ifford b.
Harmon, the New York aeronaut, said
today in a lecture before the Pasadena
Chamber of Commerce that the day Of
the battleship had passed.
No nation, said he. would dare to
send a feet to these shores on a hostile
mission with so many masters OF the air
as aviation Is developing hourly to
meet it.
ut has already been demonstrated
said Mr.. Harmon, that one balloon or
aeroplane can carry enough high explo-
sives to annihilate any fleet In the world
while the warshfps would be powerless
to protect themselves.

full state of efficiency, but 1t now m
sures the safety of our coasts az against

The question of redistricting the wards

before the next meeting of the City Coun-

that they are entitled to more representa-

ton of the Ensley district will muster up
about 125O votes. Under the existing con-
ditions a vast territory is included in the
present Ensley ward. and the citizens feel
they are entitled to more representation.
This matter is being agitated, and while

a. 70 oRIopN or rig SPOON.
Shells Probably First Used for Pur-
pose in Prehistoric Times.

The suggestion is offered by cor
respondent that the domestic spoon
probably owes its origin to the shell.
Shells of the mussel, scallop, and oy-
ster, it is. believed, were used In pre-
historic times as spoons and ladies',
the handle being formed of q piece
of wood split at one end to, hold the
shell firmly. Some savage nations
make similar spoons up. to the present
day, and the old Highland custom Of
offering whisky in shell has been
probably handed down from genera
ton to generation for untold ages.
Westman in his History of the
Spoon" gives Roman specimens, which
are very simple in design-somethin 6
like silver caddy spoons-and are
much shorter in the handle than those
from Egypt. Those for common use
were generally made of bronze, iron
or brass. They clearly show how the
shell shape was retained, and their
marine origin is also preserved in the
name of spoon-cochleare-
from cochlea, a shell or cookie. The
Celtic spoon also closely resembled
the shell In form, though made of
bronze The horns of various animals,
such as the OK, bison and ram, were
often used as drinking cups, and as
the material was found suitable, 1t
was sometimes used with wood, ivory,
metal, ETC., for spoon making Hence
the ancient expression: ITO spoil a
horn to make a spoon"

Iowa's Curious PROPOSAL.

Gov. Carroll of Iowa proposes to re-
duce the rural highways of the state,
which now average so feet in width,
to 40, turning the margin of 10 feet on
each side into use by the farmers in
raising corn. He computes that this
transfer would result in an added
yield of 100000 bushels a year. That
he should even propose such a thing
shows how completely cultivated the
better Mississippi Valley states have
become. No one riding through rufal
New Hampshire, for example, even if
it's highways were needlessly wide,
would propose the turning of any part
of them back to private owners in or
der to enlarge their crops, since so
much of the land now lies in disuse.
A good solution for the Iowans
might be for the public to retain title
to the highways at the full width but
to allow a strip of 10 feet on each
side to be utilized BY the owner Of
the adjoining property until such time
a. the growth of population made 1t
dssfra Bile. in any place to employ the
W hole street surface. This Is the sys-
tern in the District Of Columbia, and

Circus DARING Due to Heredity.

nine-tenths of the leading performers

more than two centuries-each gener-
alton accepting without question the

circus daring and the circus muscles
and the circus restlessness have de-

thence to children again. The thrill

BEATING THE TRUST AND THE
PEOPLE.

Minnesota has beaten out the twine
trust by having binding Irvine manu-
featured in the prisons, and they have
surplus of money as the result. and
at recent meeting of the prison au-
thorities it was voted to set the funds
aside for the erection of new prison.
Caroline Bartlett Crane, who is APP
parently a level headed woman. APP
peared at the recent agricultural con
gress in that state and opposed the
project as follows:
what are YOU doing with that
strong binder twfne? You are bind
ing burdens grievous and heavy to be
borne upon the backs of worse than
widowed women. You are binding
hands of little children to tools of
la Dor in our factories when they ought
to be in the schools and public play

whether he cares to or not. When q
man is out of jail you put him in jail

that many Of the convicts worked

Teacup Lore.


1t is considered good fun these days
to dip into mystery. Crystal realizing
fortune telling and mind reading are
all popular as pastimes.
The girl who is at a loss to know
what to do with her guests some even
ing might get a cup of tea and tell
fortunes. Every one will be Interested
1t is q game that always succeeds.
few drops of tea must be left in
the cup with grounds in it. The per-
son whose fortune is to be told must
make a wish, repeating it-not aloud
three times, after which the cup is
whirled around to throw the grounds
into the fluid. 1t must then be given to
the fortune teller who begins the
prophecy.
She will have to be rather quick in
speech and ina ginatiOn, because she
wants to make up things as she
goes along. Some of the indications
are these: A woman is told by a light
leaf that spreads to indicate gown
a figure in kneeling posture denotes
offer of marriage Groups of dots
near it means acceptance. An absence
of these means rejection. heart
shaped leaf promises a love affair Two
hearts mean a marriage. Two figures
near together, with the grounds near,
means an engagement.
y A love letter is indicated by four dots
forming square. Crosses mean adj
versity; a ring denotes a happy mar
riage. Dots in a line tell of sickness
or bad news. A long line means a
journey. If there are dots clustered
at the end of this means new friends
and many pleasures at the journey 3
great prosperity. A leaf folded over
the rim promises something unpleas-
ant. If the rim of the cup is clear
happy future is assured.
