the speed of the sled when coasting
down a hill.
Fig. ! shows an ordinary girls sled,
which is made into a flexible or dirigi-
bic sled. The top part of the runners,
shown in dotted lines. Is cut off on
a level with the seat and the ends are
fastened together with transverse
bar a. made of iron or wood From
this bar. and fastened thereto. are
bars b, one on each side of the seat
and parallel Herewith. These bars
are fastened to all the standards of
the sled. On the front bar is fastened
a steering lever C. which is fulcrumed
by the notwithstanding arms d
to the front part of the seat of the
sled. 1t Is now evident that when the
operator wishes to steer to the right,
he presses the lever with the left foot,
and vice versa. AS the steering lever
ls thus moved. 1t will be noticed that
1t moves the transverse bar to one
side or the other, thereby curving the
runners In the same direction, which

curved tracks.
1t Will be noticed from the plan
view, Fig. 2, that the end standard is
bolted to the seat of the sled, and
that the other two standards are no>,

runners when operated upon by the
steering lever.
Two pieces Of wood should be fast
ened under the seat. short distance

allow for side movement.

Chinese MaqIc.

naAtSs
THE use of cards Is said to be
derived from the Turot cards, which
were originally employed for occult
purposes" remarks Professor H. Chat
ley in discussion on Chinese natural
philosophy and magic. The legend
which ascribes the invention of cards
to the purpose Of amusing a mad king
does not seem at all sufficient ex-
PLANTATION. and there is, in addition, the
fact that cards of a kind existed be-
fore the said king. In further sup
port Of this idea, the well-known prac-
tice Of telling fortunes by cards may
probably be regarded as survival of
a regular form Of divination by such
means. It seems, in fact, that card.
playing for stakes is a mere develop
ment Of ceremony in which individ-
uals consulting the oracle decided to
abide by its pronouncements as to the
holding Of disputed property"

SURVEYED GRADE
north Of DENH0FF

DDNHOFF, April III. M. Hanson
and Frayne Baker of the state engi
neer's office at Bismarck surveyed
the nov famous Lincoln grade north
of Den1off.
The county commissioners. who de-
sire to do the square thing by the tax
payers. secured the services of the
state engineering force % settle the
dispute which arose over the meas
urements of the Gunder Hill grading
contract.
If any overpayment has been made,
the county is amply protected, due to
the diligence of the present board OF
county commissioners. The coutrac-
tor furnished a surety bond for $1,000
and has graded a mile of road which
the county surveyor never measured
and for which no payment has been
made by the county.
Some time ago the writer was called
before the board Of county commits
sioners to figure the instrumental
readings submitted by County Survey
or Rafferty, to the commissioners. At
t at time Mr.. Rafferty, was called and
explained how he had taken his read
ings We refused to figure any fur

are given to start with no rule could
be used to arrive at the correct
amuont of yardage The county audi
tor disputed our opinion and wished

Harvey, whose name Mr.. Teibel did
not know. So the matter was dropped
pending the arrival of spring weatA-
err when the entire grading could be
re-surveyed

know that although the county audi
tor and other would be Surveyor"

ion at the time, that later. when the

neer Atkinson. he agreed with US and

WICKED PRAIRIE FIRE
CAUSES EXCITEMENT

NEW ENGLAND, N. D., April 16-
! There was plenty of excitement in
this village for about thirty minutes
when some lively fire fighting was
done. The fire started in the eastern
part of town where some women had
laundry stove out in the yard. The
stove was blown over by the wino and
a fire Immediately started in the
grass. The wind was in the east and
in few seconds prairie fire was
heading straight for the business part
Of town.
The alarm was sounded and in a
few seconds the fire fighters were out
with the chemical engines. The
street leading from the ball grounds
to Gabbett's Addition vas a great
hep in c'l:cx.ig the fl which threat
ened the McCaullWebster lumber
yard and from that the entire village.
The little engines did great work and
in a short time the fire was under
control. 1t came very close to the
Milwaukee snow fence but was check
ed just in time. With the wind back
of the fire it is fortunate that plenty
of help was on hand, for an ordinary
street would not have checked this
fire.
This experience has served as a
warning to every resident of the vii
lage. Starting fires in this country
is a criminal offense, even accidents
are not excusable and carelessness
will not be tolerated. The fire guards
around town should be looked after
the volunteer firemen should reorgan'
ize and every citizen should exercise
great care about his premises for the
prevention of fires.

simply a misfortune.
But that this support has materially

victories.
The Roosevelt people are the only
people here today who are talking Of

The nomination of Justice Hughes

great victory, as accomplishing all
