soap water to which some glycerine
has been added are even more at
tractive, because they have such pref
ty colors.
There are many ways Of making
bubbles. For instance, smoke may be
blown through the pipe into the bub-
bles or one bubble may be blown
inside of another. Very large bub-
bles can be made by using the hands
instead of pipe. Cover the hands
well with suds and then hold them
so as to form a cup, as If drinking
with the hands from spring, but
leaving small hole in the bottom.
With the mouth about foot from the
hands, blow a current of air into
them. Some Of the bubbles will be
more than foot in diameter. Try
this experiment the next time you
wash your hands.

INTEREST IN SOAP BUBBLES
Those Made Of Soap Water to Which
Glycerine Has Been Added
Are Quite Attractive.

Have you ever stopped to think
what really interesting thing soap
bubble is? Soap bubbles are not only
interesting to boys and girls. but they
have long been a source of wonder
and interest to men of science. In
fact. scientists have employed soap
bubbles in trying to perform certain
experiments.
A soap bubble is nothing more than
a film of water molecules (tiny par
ticles that cannot be seen with the
naked eye). held together by the
sticking power of dissolved soap. As
most all of us know. in making bub-
bles the bowl of common clay pipe
Is dipped into soapy water. The bub-
BILE maker blows air into the pipe
and the bubble at once expands.
While bubbles made Of plain soap
water are interesting, those made OF

INTERESTING LORE OF HAND
Few Men Can Tell the Truth While
Their Hands Remain Open
Some Signs and Symbols.

When a man is not telling the truth
he is apt to clench his hands, as few
men can lie with their hands open.
A man who holds his thumb tightly
within his hand has weak will power.
Strong wilied persons hold their
thumbs outside when shutting their
hands.
Shaking hands in greeting was orig
inally an evidence that each person
was unarmed.
Among savage tribes when a man
holds up hands it is sign of peace,
an evidence that he is unarmed or
does not intend to use weapons. An
outlaw says, Hold up your hands!"
meaning thereby to make his victim
powerless to resist attack.

state of Utah, which owes more to ir-
rigation than any other state in the
union, is the Mecca of thousands of
visitors. The occasion Is the National
Irrigation Congress, the opening ses-
sion of which was held Monday morn
ing, September 80. The city is In
gala attire, was flags and bunting in
profusion. while myriads of electric
lights turn night into day.
Twelve thousand persons, a thousand
of them delegates from Nall over Amer
lea and even from foreign countries,
thronged the Tabernacle Monday morn
ing for the opening session of the
twentieth National Irrigation Congress-
The program for the official open
ing comprised many musical numbers
by the grand orchestra, Tabernacle
organ and the augmented choir.
Speeches were made by Senator New
lands of Nevada, president of the con-
gress, and by George A. Barstow of
Texas, former president. Brief ad-
dresses were also made by the Queen
of Irrigation and George A. Snow,
chairman of the Utah board or CON,
troll
The queen and her maids Of honor
were escorted to the Tabernacle from
the Commercial club by Governor
William Spry and his staff, Colonel
James A. Irons and staff, Mayor Sam
uel c. Park, the city commissioners
\ af
| bers of the Commercial club.
AS suggested in the official speech
of President Francis G.. Newlands,
United States senator from Nevada,
and echoed in the preliminary discus
sions of the delegates, the twentieth
Irrigation congress will include in it's
deliberations the most extensive plan
for control of Americas water supply
in the broadcast sense ever contem-
plated by public body.
Revision of lands laws and home
stead acts to check the tremendous
drain of capital and citizenship now
resulting from the emigration move
ment to Canada, is another vital ques-
ton to be considered by the congress.
Never in the history of Salt Lake
has there been presented a more bril-
liant scene than that which marked
the grand parade and electrical
pageant of the National Irrigation Con.
gress Monday night. Not only was
the pageant gorgeous and satisfying

resulting from irrigation were splen
didly unfolded to view.
There were more than 100000 va
rieties of decorations used in the en-
tire column, and over five tons of rea
fruit, vegetables and various products
and exhibits. The electrical wiring
used was more than 5000 feet II
klength. All scenes were hand painted
every flower used was either groom o.

of nails were used to fix various artl
cles in place.
The cost Of the entire parade ant
pageant is estimated at more thai
$4,000, and about 1000 persons par
ticipated in the great march.
AS the attendance of delegates ant
persons of note probably exceeds tina
of any session of the congress he'll

TESTING AN OCTOPUS.
Tho Power of This RepuIsivs Creature
Much Overrated.

There have been made abroad ex-
periments with an octopus, in a spe-
cially devised tank of sea water, In
order to test the truth Of the many
stories told Of monster cephalopods
dragging human victims to the sea
bottom, says Harper's Weekly.
In the tank with the octopus there
was placed a dummy" of the same
specific gravity as man, and this was
baited with a crab. Attracted by this
tempting morsel, the octopus made for
the figure, seized it in it's powerful
arms and tried to drag 1t under wa.
ter without success. 1t then urged its
body toward the edge of the tank. and
holding the glass with some of its
arms, it dragged its prey beneath the
surface and crushed the crab shell
with its powerful jaws.
1t is believed that these experiments
afford proof that the octopus can only
drag it's victims far below the water
near rocks to which it can attach its
suckers. There is one spot in the bay
of Naples where these creatures attain
a large size, and now and then a fisher
man is reported missing. 1t is thought
that such disappearances are due tc
the unfortunate man being caught by
the leg by a concealed octopus ant
dragged under water. In the case OF
such a repulsive and powerful creature
as the octopus it is difficult to separate
fact from fiction.
