VALUE OF MEAT CHOPPER

The meat chopper will soon save
more than its cost by enabling one
to use cheaper cuts of meat and to
utilize leftover meats. Raw beef run

plain steak. 1t should be well sea

low for tall people to work ON. Take
four common doCrStOpS which screw

are neal and could not be detected
as being other than parts Of h legs

Modern Anglo Saxon skill, care, clean

THE TERRIBLE RATAoLlTE.
Molten Rock That Bores Upward
Through the Earth's Crust

Molten Rock That Bores Upward
Through the Earth's Crust.
Bathollte Ia a term invented by he
great German geologist Edunrd Su"ss
to describe the gigantic lntrusiOns of
molten rock which. according to him.
bore their way upward through he
crust of the earth from the 'eterual
depths" below, cutting through Tho
strata and folds OF the mountains very
much as white hot soldering iron
may be thrust through plank. burn

wood as If 1t were cheese.
These batholites lurk deep In the
earth, where the temperature Is thou
sands of degrees. and gradually melt
their way to the surface above them.
tremendous domes of hot rock. tower
ing up to mountain heights and often
giving birth to volcanoes. When a
batholite. as sometimes happens. does
not reach the surface its roof opens
In a network of assures, lava pours
out and whole group of volcanoes
appears at that point.
Suess has recognized the remains of
many cooled batholites on various
parts of the earth's surface. and he
says that the consolidated crust of the
earth. even at the present day. may
be exposed to these mighty intruslons
from below. The batholltes bring up
with them many metals from the in
terror of the planet. and rich mines
are often opened In the dlkes that are
thus formed.
Suess describes the rock about Boul-
der. Colo. as an ancient batholite,
which covers 5000 square klometers
of surface. But there are others still
more prodigious In extent.
Sometimes they have been worn
down nearly to the general level. but
near Elkhorn the old batholite yet
towers up to an elevation of 1900 feet
above the sea. The diamond dikes of
South Africa have thus been thrust up
from the profound depths of the earth,
where there exists a laboratory of ma
ture in which she performs what seem
miracles to the petty inhabitants OF
the planets surface.
The face of the moon shows us most
clearly what batholites are capable Of.
The vast circular plains ringed with
steep mountains, which make its sur
face so marvellous to look upon with a
telescope, have, according to this view.
been formed by intrusions of colossal
batholites, and Suess calls them by
the startling name of smelling fur
naces"-furnace thousands of square
miles In extent-in which the frame
of that little world has been melted
and dissolved like snow bank lying
In the path of flow of molten iron.
And if we could remove the sedi-
mentary accumulations Of ages from
the face of our world. says this aston
ishing German savant. we might find
now hidden under our feet a network
Of the scared skeletons of ancient
batholites, grander than any on the

THE LEGISLATIVE JOKER.
Easy Wax In Which the Intent Of .
Law MAY Be Chanqed.


"A joker In its simplest form con-
sists In word or a clause which. in

filches away from the public Its power
to establish such laws as 1t desires.

or by perverting the essence and pur-

the Joker game Is worked:
Sometimes 1t Is In one word, as
where the sale of piece of public
property to the lowest bidder was once
authorized Sometimes 1t may inhere

try of fruit plants. where somebody

Nobody ever found out whether this
was printers slip or a carefully de-
vised scheme Certain 1t is that the
trainers of the schedule never intend
ed 1t.
"Agaln. the entire body of the pro.
viso may constitute the joker by pur-
porting to carry one meaning when II
in reality carries quite another. Con.
gress still preserves the tradition of
the Irish representative from Massa-
chusetts who proposed that March II
be made legal holiday In celebration
of the Boston tea party Several
New Englanders whose zeal exceeded
their erudition warmly supported the
measure until some one pointed out
that March II was much more closely
associated with the supposed birth of
the proposer's patron saint than with
the destruction of the obnoxious tea.
