The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-10-29

For it not only gets you a lot
of soft-talk from high Marshall
Field muck-a-mucks, but it also
gives you the glorious opportun-
ity of drawing down $1,000 a
year, or 1923 a week, when you
have come to be seventy-five
years old; and are about figuring
on how soon you will be able to
retire and live off the wonderful
savings you must have made dur
ing those so years.
1t certainly is great to spend
so of the best years of your life
building up a great mercantile
firm like Marshall Field & Co.
And The Day Book surely does
wonder how Mr.. Edward, Nevers
has managed to live through it.
Probably he's a very strong
minded man, because otherwise
1t is almost certain he would have
died-of joy, you know.
But there's one thing the peo-
pie ought to remember. This
same great mercantile firm which
is rewarding Edward Nevers' for
his so years of labor so magnif1
Gently, is the same one that is
trying to steal a great big chunk
of the peoples land under Wash
ing street, and seems to be just
about due to get away with it un-
less the people wake up. /

great mercantile firm
"Oh, that old fellow" said the
secretary, with a look of intelli-
gence dawning on his face for the
first time. ooh, yes, have heard
of him."
'Where can I find him?" asked
the reporter.
"Say," said the secretary, turn
ing suddenly frostily suspicious,
"who are you from?"
The reporter explained that he
was from The Day Book.
What do you want to do?" de-
manded the secretary, knock
Marshall Field?"
''Why, no" explained the re-
porter. 81 wish to go and do
honor to the man who spent so
of the best years of his life build
ing up THIS great mercantile
firm"
And after that the secretary
wouldn't talk to The Day Book
any more, and walked away NUT
tering something about anarchy,
or treason, or something.
But The Day Book reporter,
after weary hours, finally discov-
cred where Mr.. Edward Nevers |
was to be found.

ance department in the wholesale |

Significant Raid
 Of Water St. Res0rt

It was a raid upon the Water street house of Mollie and Charie Bruno, con- ducted by Sergt A. L. Prout, Patrol men Bagley, Bray and Poland includ- ing State Officer Frank Vireli that brought the well known pair before Judge Carl Foster in the city court this morning upon charges of main taining a disorderly house. Also in cluded in the arrests was Margaret Delmaso, accused of being a resident in a house of ill-fameY Bonds of $500 were set in the case of Mollie Bruno, $200 in the case of the Delmaso wo- man, and Charlie Bruno was held without bail. While the arrests were made upon complaint, it is deemed significant that each of the prison CTS identified as witnesses in the Cava1- ieri case for the murder of whom four men are arraigned in the Su- perior court today, should have been rounded up with the aid of a. State officer Both the Bruno and Del n!aso women were previously arrested upon similar charges. An appeal is pending before the higher tribunal.

Bull saitina In Enaland.

In the old days of England bull bait ing was as comman as football. A re hinder of this exists in the will of one George Staverton of Workingha He beQueathed out of his estate a sum of $50 yearly with which to buy bull for the batting. The bull was to be given to the poor of Workingham to beebaited in the market place Dec. 21 of each year. the remains of the animal to be sold and the proceeds devoted to the purchase of shoes and stockings for the poor children. The will was carried out until 1925. when the corporation forbade any more such celebrations.

NOTHING EVER DESTROYED.
Matter Merely Changes, but Does Not
 Cease to Exist.

Matter Merely Changes, but Does Not
 Cease to Exist.
 When a candle burns it is not de- Btroyed. What seems like destruction is merely change. Any one can prove this for himself by very simple ex- pertinent
 Take a glass tube and fit a cork into each end Bore some holes in the lower cork. one of them in the middle large enough to hold candle. Bend a small CT glass tube to U shape, fill it with small pieces of caustic soda and cork one end. Now connect the two cy1ip- ders by a small glass tube through tbe cOrks. Insert the candle through the lower cork and suspend the whole ap- paratus from one beam of a chemical balance. Weigh it carefully.
 Connect the free end of the U tube to an aspirator so as to esta blish 8 uni form current of air through the tubes. Remove the cane light it and in stantly reinsert it. Let it burn down until entirely consumed. Now reweigh the apparatus. You will find that it actually weighs more than it did be- fore the candle was burnt!
 What had happened? The carbon and hydrogen of which the candle was com posed have been separated, have drawn oxygen from the air and combined with it, forming water and carbon dioxide or -carbonic acid gas. The caustic soda has absorbed the carbon dioxide and made sodium carbonate and has also caught the water. The extra weight is simply that of the oxygen taken out of the air.
 This is a practical illustration of the great truth that nothing is. ever de stroyed. Matter changes. but does not cease to exist. St. Thomas Aquinas taught this in the thirteenth century, thus in so many other ways antici- pating modern scientists-and some of the ancient Greek philosophers under stood it. It has only been proved ex- perimentally in recent years.-New York World.

A Secret Andrew Lang Kept.

Andrew Lang unraveled many his torical puzzles. but there was one mys- tery the secret of which he knew but would not tell. He knew the truth about the famous murder of which Alan Breck was suspected and for which James Stewart was hanged. Stevenson in Kidnapped" lays the crime to the account of a mysterious companion of Alan's. and in so far that neither Alan nor James was the murderer he was right, said MT. Lang. But the identity of the assassin was a clan secret. revealed to MT. Lang as a fellow clansman. and he refused to make it public.

Naming the Kangaroo.

The kangaroo came by his name rather strangely. When first Australia was discovered a sailor pointed to a kangaroo and asked q native what they called that animal. The poor black man having never met an Englishman be- fore. had no idea what the sailor was talking about and replied in his own language, .Kangaroo"-that is. "l do not undestand-" The sailor foolishly supposed this was the name of the an imal in the Australian tongue. and ever since we have called the animal kanga roo, ''I do not understand

 For fifty miles the road winds beside the beautiful sea of Marmora. afford ing charming gIimpses of mountain and ocean. of peaceful bay and bold surf washed headlands. At Isnid the road begins to rise and great granite mountains. snow covered through much of the year. come into view.

BIG THINGS OF OURS.

Texas, For Instance. and Counties
 Larger Than Some States.
 'sIs the United States as large as FranceT a young Parisian once asked an American. ..Sir." replied the proud Texan, 'ttay own state alone Is bigger than your whole republic
 An interesting method of demon strating the size of the Lone Star State is to spread out a map of our country and stretch string across Texas the longest way. Then, placing one end of the string at Chicago. it will be found that the other end will extend into either the Atlantic ocean or the gulf of Mexico.
 The biggest counties in the United States are Custer. in Montana, and San Bernardino. in California. Both have a little more than 10000 square miles. Inside the boundaries of either of these counties might be placed the states of Massachusetts. Rhode Island. Delaware and New Jersey. Contrast these with Bristol county, Rhode Island. the smallest of all-twenty- five square miles-and one gets a good idea of the geographical differences in this broad land.
 New York county shows the largest population of any county fin the Union.
 An interesting geographical fact meets one at a point about fifty miles from Durango. Colo. There. by step ping few feet in either direction. one can walk In four different common wealths in as many seconds. These are Colorado. Utah, New Mexico and Arizona
 Within 100 miles of one another California offers the highest and the lowest elevations in this country Mount Whitney. with is 14.499 feet. and Death valley, with it's 45O feet be- low the sea level.-New York Sun.

The crayfsh.

curious mistake occurs in the word crayf1sh- The name was borrowed from the French. who call this lobsterlike animal ecrevisse. The English thought that because it lived in the water 1t must be fish. says the RaJa Yoga Messenger. and so we always call 1t the crayfish. Of course the little crea- ture is no more a fish than seal is a fish. or sponge or an oyster. although they also live in the water.
