 Another paint Is yellow until heat ed to a temperature of l13 degrees Fahrenheit, when it becomes dark red. They are called heat indicating paints but are little more than scien- tific curiosities.

 And she cant tell the joke till her jaws fixed" added third; and then silence fell upon that room, while those who had spoken waited expect antly. It was clear that that joke would hever get out of the room alive.
 Dr. Touart worked steadily at the jaw for few minutes, then there was a click, ard Mrs. Dressler was able to work it up and down and sideways with little effort
 That seems to be all right" she said at length. A relieved murmur went through the room; then there was silence. az every one leaned for ward

DITCH TO RECLAIM IS, GOO RICH ACRES
It Will Be Widest Canal in the State
 and Is to Be Deepest Also

and Is to Be Deepest, Also.
 Morrilton.-The final survey of the Point Reserve Drainage District in this county has just been completed, and active work in digging the big canal will begin about January l.
 The territory embraced in this dis trict consists of 18,000 acres of very rich alluvial soil and the canal to be dug, while only five miles in length, will be the widest and deepest drain age canal in the state and will en- tirely divert the waters of Point Re- move creek, a stream that drains a large watershed in Conway, Van Blu ren and Pope counties.
 The channel of the big canal will run for half a mile through the cen ter of the celebrated Fish lake, lo- and owned by the Morrilton Fishing and Hunting Club. Many of the mem bers of the club regret the loss of the lake, which hereafter will be only a section of the big canal, but the advance in value of the lands be- longing to the farmers and the gen. eral good to the community in the redemption of 1S,000 acres of rich lands is so great that the promoters of the drainage district have met with no opposition whatever.
 Hundreds of acres Of lands in the district have been deadened this summer, preparatory 10 clearing for a crop next year. and with the begin ming of the actual work on the canal practically the entire bottom will be made ready for the blow.
 Land values in the district, which have been $3 to S an acre. the usual price for swamp lands, have advanced till there is practically no land for sale under $l5 to S25 per acre, and 1t is thought that within a year there will be much greater advance.
 It is estimated that the clearing and cultivation of the Point Remove bottom will add 10000 bales annually to the cotton shipments from this point, which already amounts to about 25,O00 bales.
