The inventor is doing his best to
eliminate the dangerous hat pin. He
is likely to be more successful than
boards of aldermen, for he has devised
ia hat clasp that is more practical,
more effective I'm holding the hat on
and daintier in appearance than the
pin. The clasp, fixed on the inside of
the hat, extends to the outside. 1t
reaches down and grasps the hair.
There usually are two clasps needed
to hold on the hat. and it is said of
them they do not disturb the arrange
ment of the hair. None of the artis-
tic effect is lost in wearing the clasps
because they can be adorned with
jewels or other ornate objects. They
work easily, and do not threaten to
pierce the scalp or do injury TO the
eyes.

Local self government will give us

What a softly persuasive pipe
dream! OF course the town or city
will plant no brothel and no saloon
where said town or city votes dry,
but the rum organ which makes the
above declaration does not give the
other half of his story--it does moi
tell you that the surrounding wet
towns will flood the dry one until II

best bet. When they can't change
the vote of a town they go to work
to make a mock of its laws-just as
they are doing with the Maine law
today They pour rum into prohib-
tory territory by every possible means
and leer all the while at the failure
of the law to prohibit.

. Sheep in Thunder Storms.
portland EXpress.)

(1Orlialla FNpfeSS,)
In heavy electrical storm a few
DAYS ago lightning struck flock of
sheep near Washington and killed
twenty ont of the terrified and hud-
died animals. 1T was nowhere near a
record in the sheep-killing ltre. No
ether animal is so easy marx for
what are commonly called thunder
bolts. Sheep are timid and extremely
4regarfous. which is to say that they
are sadly dependent upon the com
pany of their kind, Hermit stunts
are altogether out OF their line In a
violent storm they huddle close to-
pather and their wet and steamine
wool makes perfect mat for conduct
mo the electric fluid. 1t is almost UNI
feard of that more than six or eight
human beings should be killed by one
stroke of lightning, but the sheep rec
ard is about 1000 slain at once.

From his investigation of the vary
ing velocity of the earth tremors as
they pass through the interior, Pro-
lessor Weichert has come to the con-
eiusion that the earth consists of a
central core of iron or steel, about
o5s0 miles in diameter. surrounded
with stony shell $50 miles in thick
ness. Between the outer solid rind
and the inner layer of rock, covering
the metallic core, he thinks there is a
layer OF liquid, or plastic material
lying little less than twenty miles
below the surface of the earth. ~
