show March 29-30. Merchants of the
city, large and small. will be in the
show, given in honor Of the opening
of the spring season. A fund of sew
eral thousand dollars Is being gener-
ously subscribed to by those inter-
ested, for advertising purposes, and
an effort will be made to reach every
resident OF the inland empire. Local
advertising will probably be done by
band parades and many of the stores
will have orchestras. The merchants
will get together shortly to discuss
the final plans. All of the stores Of
the main streets will be in gala attire
to greet not only people of the city.
but thousands of the residents of the
inland empire who come to the city
to shop.

can purchase all of their needs at the
same time. Friendly rivalry will be
rampant among the merchants to see
who can put on the best display. One
of the largest buildings in the city

STRANGE Storehouses.

In the old birds nests that are placed
near the ground in shrubs and small
trees close to hazelnut bushes and bit
tersweet vines one will often find
a handful of hazelnuts or bittersweet
berries. They were put there by the

mouse will cover birds nest with
fine dried grass and inner bark and

BEST BABY ALPINE CLIMBER.

The youngest Alpinist in the world
is probably little Flavia Guidini,
daughter of DR.. Joseph Guidini, of
Turin. Italy. She is only four and
half years old. and her mother is
an English woman. On September
4. accompanied by her parents, she
performed what is believed to be an
absolutely unprecedented feat for one
of her years. successfully climbing
several of the peaks of the Mont
Blanc range.
First, on the previous day. she
reached the Mont Frety but, 7,240
feet, making the ascent from Courma-
yeur. Then in six hours she climbed
the Giants Neck, 1,230 feet There
she rested a little while, and next,
crossing the glacier of the Giants
Neck, reached the summit of the Pet
it Flambeau, ,45O feet The de-
scent to Courmayeur was made. in
two days. So far as is known, no
child of anything approaching her
youthfulness has ever even attempt
ed. much less successfully accom-
plished, any one of these climbs.

however, the foundations were Sc

there was no clash or hindrance. AS

they had completed their task they
were followed by the electricians

BY noon the entire frame was up,
the front steps and vestibule nearly

ELECTRICITY FROM STARS

Experiments conducted in Ireland
IF they are to be trusted, reveal a
distinct elecromotive force exercised
by the stars Using rejecting ter
escope Of two feet aperture to concen-
irate the star rays, and sensitive
elecuometer5 to note their influence,
the experinenter had reason to be-
eve that they were able not only to
eject, but to measure, the electromo-
tive force OF both stars and planets
To Venus, for example, they as
cribed a force OF about seventeen one
hundredths Of a volt. and to Jupiter
force OF at least three one-hundredths
of a volt In the case Of Jupiter only
a part of the planets light fell upon
the electrometer, so that the expert
menters inferred that his entire cleo
trio influence must be much greater
than that stated. Sirius. which ap-
pears to us as the brightest Of the
fixed stars, showed force amounting
to two one-hundredths OF volt.

Railway" Age Gazette. An expendi-

However, the appearance of well

of neatly sodded banks in deep cuts
and of fresh flowers on dining car ia
bles are very effective in adding to the
pleasure and comfort of travellers, and
any such effort of a railway manager
to please his patrons will win for his
road many friends who not only will
travel that way more often in The fu-
ture but will also influence their
friends to go with them. Such a body
of friendly patrons is also of great
value to the road in preventing radi-
cal.and ill advised legislation.
The roads which have practiced
gardening have also found that the
products of the gardeners work have

their work, which usually means that
they are saving the company money.
The sodding of cuts has the further
argument in its favor that it prevents
washing, thereby reducing mainten-
ance costs, and the maintaining Of
station parks can be justified on the
ground that without proper surround
