j. w. Lieuallen, chairman of the
committee on public improvements,
presented verbal report acoompan-
led by plans and specifications for the
installation of lighting system in the
city park. The cost of installing such
a system as Mr.. Lieuallen advocates
would approximate $341.70 and the
cost of it's maintenance for four
months in the year would be about
$3.50. The plans which were sub
mitted include conduits for the trans
of the wires, five 80-candle
power lamps, one of which would be
placed on the music stand and the re-
naming four on iron park posts. In
to these there would be six
40-watt lights placed inside the stand.
The city could pay either by flat rate
or meter. Mr.. Lieuallen urged the ne

comfort and convenience of the pub
lie. The matter was referred to the

WEARS WlFE'S BODY IN RING

An ingenious method of disposing of
the ashes of cremated body was re-
corded in London. After a woman
had been cremated the husband took
the ashes to a chemist for the pur-
pose of extracting the iron, which he
is now wearing set in his ring as one
would wear a diamond.
The amount of iron in a human
body, according to the statement of
well-known analytical chemist, is at
best very small-a matter of grains
and it varies very much according to
the state of health. Anemic people
have very slight traces Of iron in
their bodies, but in normal persons
there is enough to use, as 1t has been
used in place of stone in a ring.
The London Cremation company
has knowledge of the case of we'll
known woman who always carried the
ashes of her late husband about with
her. and gave instructions that, when
her end came, her body was to be Gre
mated and the ashes mixed with those
of her husband. With the growth in
the number of cremation cases it is
becoming quite usual practice to
have the ashes compressed into a
small to blet, with a short inscription
stamped upon It,

CURIOUS TOWERS OF CHINA

The Chinese for ages back have

wall surrounding China is not only
one of the wonders of the world from
a scenic standpoint, but it is likewise
huge engineering undertaking
China has many curious stone towers
scattered throughout the country. In
some of these structures, built pre-
sumably for defensive purposes and
idol-worship centuries ago, the archi-
tectural features are attractive, and
the masonry is marvelously carried
out The floor and foundations, as in
the case of the towers themselves, are
of solid stone, and the winds and
storms of hundreds of years have not
swayed the high mass of material out
of plumb, so there are, SO far as re-
corded, no leaning towers in China.

lures vegetation finds soil enough to
sprout in regardless of the fact that

Convict lmpersonates Accused Man

Remains in Jail.

Paris.-A year ago one Bretche, who
was serving a sentence of 13 months
at the Sante prison, made the acquaint-
ance of Marcel Faitide. who was await
ing trial on charge of assaulting a
constable. Bretche, whom a long and
varied acquaintance with the law had
made something of a legal expert, as
sured Faitde that his case would be
quashed.
How would it be now" he suggest
ed to his fellow prisoner, whose i1no-

produced an old nickel watch, pack
ct of cheap tobacco, and a cigarette

A few days later Bretche-Faitide
was tried and acquitted, while Faitide-
Bretche found the sentence of IL
months confirmed. For ten months he
stood it, but at last his patience gave
out. Perhaps the packet of tobacco
was exhausted, or the watch may have
stopped. In any case, Faitide went to
the governor of the prison and told his
extraordinary tale.

would have it, was arrested for rob
berry with violence. His thumb marks
were taken, and found, of course, to

ment, and sent him back to prison to
await trial on the second charge. The
ingenious Faitide was acquitted.

SEE PROCESS OF DIGESTION

Fred c. Week. who for sixteen years
has swallowed no food, is giving aid
to science through observation of his
digestive process, according to Prof.
A. J. Carlson, assistant in the depart
ment Of physiology at the University
of Chicago.
BY means of a glass tube through
which an electric light is introduced
into the mans stomach, DR.. Carlson
says he has been able to observe and
even photograph the food at every
stage during the process of digestion.
Since he was IL years old Week has
taken food through a tube leading
from the abdomen into the stomach,
the esophagus having been completely
closed when he swallowed a strong
solution. The man was found work
ing at his trade as a barber several
months ago.
Although it was intended that only
liquids should be taken through the
tube, Week developed an appetite for
meats and vegetables and after mas
ticating them successfully, introduced
them into the stomach through the
tube.

like the federal capital city of the
United States, 1t was completely plan

Canberra district of New South
Wales, as the site of the city, was
made by the commonwealth govern
ment in 1910. and the invitation to
architects embodying the conditions or
completion was issued April 30, 1911.
To give an idea of the magnitude or
the task, 1t may be stated that the
requirements for the consideration OF
the designers included the ALLEGATION

a quarter of an hour the victor would
grow dissatisfied with his new shell,
and would renew hostilities for the
possession of his old quarters.
