A Curious Illusion.

People declare that they have seen
a field Of grass gradually change color
during shower Of rain, thousands of
mushrooms springing up before their
eyes. This Is an optical illusion caus.
ed by the rain beating down the grass
The mushrooms do not really spring
up during a single shower of rain.
They are there already. but hidden by
the grass, and when the rain beats
down the grass it exposes the hidden
mushrooms London Mail.

CLEANING UP
AT SEWAREN
Civic Association Helps
Beautify the Town.
sp.ota1 20 the EVENING EKwg

Sewaren, June 27:-The Sewaren
Civic Association has lately pur-
chased a number of large tin cans
for receiving waste paper, fruit skins
and scraps Of any kind which are
usually dropped upon the sidewalks
and around the railroad station.
They have been placed at the post
office, one in the corner of the little
park and other in the most frequent
ed and public places where they can
not be overlooked, and where they
will doubtless be constantly used, i'm
proving the appearance of the whole
town.
The Improvement Company and
the property owners on East and
West have trimmed out their
sidewalks and cutters, getting rid of
all weeds and grass. having a gener-
al clearing up of their premises and
street frontage, and these streets
have never looked neater or more
attractive than at the present time.
The little station park has been
kept in a fine condition lately. The
grass has been moved every few
days and raked clean afterwards,
until the green-sward looks like vel
vet in the bright June sunshine. 1t
seems evident hat the Sewaren
Civic Association have stirred up the
citizens to a greater interest in try
ing to improve and beautify our
pleasant and attractive little town.

fllment Of his duty by Raymond
Appleby, the fourteen-year-old sol
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Randolph Apple
by, Sr., of "Bide a Wee" farm, even
though he found it necessary to
flash a rusty old revolver in the face
Of a drunken man to turn the trick.
Master Raymond was instructed to
carefully watch the contents of B.
Feldbaum's clothing store Saturday
morning while that merchant step
ped down the street to the post office.
During his short reign Master Ray
mOnd was somewhat startled to see
an intoxicated man step into the
store and make obvious glances at
nearby clothing.
Not in the least daunted the
youthful manager picked up a rusty,
shellless pistol from q nearby counter
and commanded the intruder to
hold up your hands" 1t was done,
too, and with laughable alacrity.
And when the popular merchant
returned from his errand he found
the boy still in full command of the
situation. The unwelcomed visitor
was not detained.
