been paid Fnlton to bring the amount
up to $6,446.13.
One Per Cent In Dispute
1t is understood that the disputed
claim is the / per cent that Huttons
contract provides should be paid at the
time of the letting of the contract 1t
is understood that Hutton made de-
mand for this l per cent when the
contract was let to Caldwell and Drake
and Louis Kitchen. but that the board
asked him to hold off until later.
Hutton did so, but 1t is said that he Is
now demanding the extra payment that
will bring the amount of his fees up
to nearly $4,000.
1t is said that one of the possibilities
of the situation is-the beginning of an
action by Hutton to mandate the board
to pay him the money which he claims
is due under his contract.
Architect Chooses Inspector.
One of the strange things about the
contract which was entered into by the
board with Hutton is the fact that it
gives him the right to select the in
spector on the job. IT is true that the
contract states that the inspector must
be selected only after the board has
been consulted, but the fact remains
that Hutton has the sole right to select
the inspector.
How the controversy between the
architect and the members of the board
who are opposed to paying him any
more money will turn out remains to
be seen.

The Art Of POISONING.

Professional prisoners o early In
u era. 1t Is recorded that Agrippina
"a. D. 26) refused to eat apples at the
table OF her father-in-law. THherius,
through fear of poison. The notorious
Locusta fiourished in that epoch. 1t
is charged that she supplied with APP
propriate directions the poison by
which A~grippina RID herself of Clau-
dius. She also furnished the poison
that was administered to Britannicus
by order OF Nero. This crime was
committed In quite a conventional
manner. The Romans were accusIom-
ed to drink hot water at table. but the
same temperature did not appeal to
all. A slave offered hot water to Bri-
tannicus. sToo hot" he remarked.
The slave added cold water. Britain
nicus drank, gasped onee or twice and
died. The cold water was poisoned
either with a cyanide or with prussic
acid.

Air SAGA of Pinanns.

The air sacs Of the pigeon constitute
a system of interstices, the value Of
which lies in their absence Of weight
and resistance.
Flying Is possible only to a body of
high mechanical efficiency disested OF
all su%periuous material The original
reptiles, which by evolution became
birds, were divested OF s~uperfuous ma
terial, and the body spaces thus OBJ
tanned were flied with air sacs. The
body wall, adapting itself to the me-
chanial requirements, became a hollow
cylinder serving as a support for the
organs of movement, the mobility of
whose parts was assured by the sur
rounding air sacs. The air cavities In
the bones of other birds are similarly

"There ia all the difference IN the

upon a good one2 OF course It is
not always easy to know what are
the best books, but one of the things
that college courses teach Is how to
recognize them, and every one who
Is engaged in n line of study can
almost always find someone-very
often the person In charge of the
local library is available-who will
direct him to the good books.
IA second maxim is that one

attention and concentration to OBJ

use in merely carrying your eyes

no doubt to be respectful to the
author of the book If he happens to
be a wise man or a well informed
man; but respect Is not the same
thing as submission. It is right and
fitting to try to test the facts and the
views which a book contains, and to
employ ones independent Judgment
upon It,"

school acts, and kept the house In an
uproar of laughter from the moment
the curtain went up. Mr.. Kelleys
rendition of "The Mysterious Rag"

very laughable sketch called Get
.Away-Quick Dugan," is another feat
r act. Mr.. Leighton Is a very
clever actor, and makes some Won
derful DISCUSSES in his part of Jim
Dugan.
Another very good act Is Murphy
and Andrews, singing. dancing and
comedy talk team. They make a
number of changes and the real hit
was the Scotch songs.
Charbino and De C~astolo, man and
woman, equilibrists, have a very
novel act. The last stunt vas decid-
eddy sensational. consisting of a
slide down a sixty-foot incline on
the top of the head while the lady
holds the incline on her head. Some
feat by the way.

act and made a big hit.
