ual charges of not enough kisses by
the bride, is now made defendant in

brought by her husband.

ICE IN PERSIA.

The fact that ice is plentiful and
cheap makes living in Persia more
pleasant than it would otherwise be,
and the fact that it can be obtained
at all is indicative of the ingenuity
of the people of the country. The
ground is so porous that water per-
colates through quickly. There are
therefore few rivers or lakes from
which ice can be obtained, and it is
seldom so cold in any part of Persia
that ice Of d thickness suitable for
packing would form under the direct
rays of the sun. The Persian OBJ
tains his ice by making a shallow
pool and building a high wall which
will protect it from the sun. A thin
layer of ice will form; this he floods
at night with water, and so he goes
on adding inch to inch until he can
cut block of considerable thickness.

GLASS BOTTOMS FOR SHIPS
crease the Speed and Save Coal
Consumption.

If ships bottoms we're covered
with glass, it is asserted, greater
peed and saving in coal consump-
ton would be attained. The idea
has been tried, but hitherto it has al
ways been found impracticable to at
tach glass to the steel plates of a
ship, as the expansion of the steel
broke the glass after a very slight
rise in temperature.
After many experiments a compo-
sition of rosin and linseed oil was
adopted as the adhesive material and
the difficulty of the expansion of the
steel was overcome by the introduce
ton of a thin layer of wood pulp I'M
der the glass. A patent has just been
taken out in England covering the
process. The patentee says that the
cost of placing the glass plates on
the sea-covered bottom will not ex-
coed that of two coats of paint.

The convention that nominated MI.
Taft was held in Chicago, and Mr..
Gompers and others, representing the
American labor movement, appeared
before the convention and requested
that certain planks be placed in the
platform of the party nominating the
President favorable to the labor move
ment, but that party repudiated the
just requests made by the represents
tives of labor and that reputation had
been put into practice since they were
elected to Office. There is the slightest
chance that because Of that repudiar

mean the working masses-are likely
to think for themselves In the future.
It looks as though the political party

John Werner came to America
from Germany and from august, 1907,
until December. 1908, he worked in
an Ohio match factory. In Germany,
as in practically all civilized countries
except the United States, the govern
ment does not permit the use OF
phosphorus in the manufacture OF
matches. It has long been known
that where this deadly poison Is used
q terrible disease called '.phossy jaw
afflicts the workers. The government
of the United States and of the several
states. however, still permits the use
Of the poison, for which there are
harmless substitutes. The poison is q
little cheaper.
But John Werner came to the
United Hates for citizenship. After
working one year and four months in
an American match factory he con-
tracted sphossy jaw His teeth
dropped out; his jaw bones decayed.

limited, but it appears to me that
there could be nothing more detri-

harmful, more destructive of will
