Popular Mechanics Magazine for June

Popular Mechanics Magazine for June.
Like the continuous film of the NOV
ing picture machine which flashes TO
the mind scenes of interest that would
require volumes to describe in print,
Popular Mechanics Magazine each
month presents a vivid panorama Of
the worlds development in all matters
pertaining to science and mechanics.
In the June number 290 unusual illus
trations and 275 terse articles portray
the activities and achievements of in
ventors, scientists, airmen, craftsmen,
mariners-in short, of persons in every
walk of life, for nowadays, no occupa-
ton but contributes it's discoveries and
improvements. Apropost of moving pic
lures, the cover design for the June
magazine uniquely reproduces the I'M
folding of a rose as depicted in colors
on the film by a new process, in which
color filters are used. This process is
described further in an interesting ar
ticle by ]. Q. Roberts.
The subject of explosions and Elk
plosives" is discussed by that eminent
authority, Hudson Maxim, as a result
of several recent violent explosions
which have terrified large communi-

has an exaggerated impression of the
destructive force of an explosion such
as that at the Pleasant Prairie, Wis.

pie language, just what degree of dan

The June Woman's Home Companion

The June WOman'S Home Companion.
The June Woman's Home Companion
is interesting and useful in a great va
riety of ways. One of it's splendid
features, particularly entertaining and
valuable at the present time, is a de-
scription of a large number of safe
and sane celebrations of the Fourth
of July which actually took place last
year. These reports are full of ideas
and suggestions which, as fast as they
are put into effect, will save legs,
arms and lives. and the great point IS
that the children who enjoy these cele-
brations had better time than they
ever had in the old way. The new
forms of entertainment that have been
devised, and that are reported in this
months Companion, are really amaz-
ing in extent and ingenuity.

(E. N, in Westminster Gazette)
Life is a night all dark and wild,
Yet still stars shine;
This moment is a star, my child
Your star and mine
Life is a desert dry and drear,
Undewed, unblest;
This heart is an oasis, dear;
Here let us rest.
Life is a sea of windy gray,
Cold, fierce, and free;
An isle enchanted is today
For you and me.
Forget night, sea, and desert; take
The gift supreme,
And, of life's brief relenting, make
A deathless dream

Not one robber has been captured.

Attention is called to the fact that
while the robbers have headquarters

operations are confined to Kansas.
