$1o,0OO BOOK IS REPAIRED
Only Man on Earth Who Could Do Work Keeps Transaction Secret
 Until Returned.

Paris.-One of the most valuable books in the world-if not the most valuable-is on It's way to New York, from which place it took special trip to Europe just to have a loose page set in. There Is only one man on earth who can do this work as it should be done and he lives in Paris, although he is an Italian.
 The book belongs to J. Pierpont Morgan, who gave s5,000 for 1t some years ago. A few days after it came into his possession 1t was reported that he had been offered s10,oO0 for it, and it's value Is said to have increased since then.
 It Is a small book, an ordinary 16mo., but its cover of gold was won derfully wrought by Benvenuto CelIini in the sixteenth century. Experts re- gard it as one of that famous artists masterpieces. Cellini himself so re- garded 1t, for he mentions it glowingly in his droll memoirs. Between the gold covers Is a book of hours, pro- fusely illuminated by Clovie, pupil of Michaelangelo.
 The precious book remained in Paris only part of one week It was brought to the Paris book binder by a special agent The book binder was careful not to let 1t be known that he had had the unique treasure until 1t was on its way back to America

PROFIT IN MUNICIPAL FARM
Indianapolis Is Now Being Urged to Follow the Example of
 Kansas City.

In view of the fact that the develop ment of the northwestern portion of the city must soon compel the apan- donment of the present workhouse, Kansas City's first years experiment with a municipal farm Is of interest The farm was undertaken as an m provement over an expensive work house The results have just been is- sued in the form of summary by the board of public welfare.
 A workhouse prisoner used to cost Kansas City $220 a year; prisoner on the farm has been earning $lO0 an nually for the city. The figures given as averages show that the city has turned a loss of 60 cents day Tor each prisoner into gain of 30 cents | for each prisoner. The report says that this is not all the gain, however, that has accrued to the municipality The reformatory influence of the farm has been marked. It is asserted that the prisoners take an unlokedfor Tn terest in the farm work, an interest never met with in workhouse tasks, and. as 8 result, the desire to escape Is mininized and but few guards are net essary.
 The prisoners plant and cultivate and harvest crops, care for live stock, build roads and fences and repair them. in all of which there is va riety of toll suitable to different kinds of ability. The city sells the products of the farm not needed and the fund derived is applied to the maintenance of the prisoners. Now the electors of the city are soon to vote on propost tion to issue bonds in $50,000 to pay for the material and superintendence in the construction of s125,000 build ing, the manual labor to be done by the prisoners.
 The site of the Marion county work house is valuable for residence lots and could be sold for an amount sufh ciently large to purchase a good sized farm, as we'll as to provide for the erection of necessary buildings. Ii the workhouse farm experiment is as successful as 1t Is reported to be 1T Kansas City, Cleveland and othel cities, 1t is hoped, that the county council and commissioners will make an investigation of the subject before final action is taken as to the erection of a new prison.-Indianapo Star.

Decorating Cities.

The triennial conclave of Knights Templar in Chicago was made the occasion for the most lavish decora- tion of a city ever seen in the United States, with the exception of the Hud- son-Fulton celebration in New York. It is estimated that $200,000 was ex- pended on this feature of the enter tainment of the knights. This work was done in sections by three of the largest companies in the business, each being called upon to look after the branch of the business in which 1t was most proficient. Ten carloads of material, in addition to the mass of bunting, flags, etc, obtained locally were used. The general scheme fol lowed the line of the big Templar parade, winding through the streets over which the route was laid and beginning on Michigan avenue and ending on La Sale street with mas sive arches, while the central portion of the plan included a long. straiglt 'Templar Way along State stree, lined with stately pillars, festooned and connected with ropes of laurel.- Popular Mechanics.

life-preserver fastened under the arm pits of the shirt, and from the strong elastic bands reach down and are fastened just above the knees of the trousers. Just outside the ankles are fastened pair of fins, which give re sistance to the water on the back ward stroke and fold in as the legs are drawn forward. The elastic bands help draw the legs forward and save the swimmer all his strength for the kick back. Equipped with such an apparatus a beginner may feel per fectly safe in the water, and an expe rienced swimmer will find himself able to swim miles further than he could otherwise do. The suit is made of light rubber so that 1t does not get heavy by becoming water-soaked.
