charity the public turned out to do its
best and prettiest, and everybody was
hidden to assist In the fun and frolic
that had a serious end and intention.
The public responded graciously to
the invitation and the excitement be-
gan when crowded trains and cars

shortly after noon.
The trains and cars were met at
Burlingame by private equipages, but
nearly everybody walked-for Park
Road, where the fete was held, is
only two blocks from the station

cigar booth, games. household booth,
floral arbor, arctic fountain, Italian
garden. Japanese garden, English
dairy kitchen. "Old Curiosity Shop"

Womans club at the rear of St Cath
crimes church, where two vaudeville
performances were staged by society $
most gifted performers--one at 2
o'clock this afternoon and the second
at s o'clock this evening.

GERMAN RED TAPE.

A cred tape" comedy has been en-
acted at Leipsig, Germany, where
the Zeppelin passenger airship Sach-

Zeppelin's right-hand man, who has
made over $50 aerial voyages, was
about to steer the Sachsen on a trip
when the police prohibited the voy-
age because he could not produce an
official pilots certificate. The Incl.

have made one out for himself on

sluht Of Dying Friend inspired Verdi
With mournfui Notes Of the "Mise-
rcrev IN "Trovstore."


When the composer Verdi was
working on his well-known opera I'll
Trovatore," he stopped short at the
"Miserere," being at loss to combine
notes Of sufficient sadness and pathos
to express the grief of the prisoner,
Manrico.
Sitting at his piano in the deep
stiffness of the winter night, his
imagination wandered back to the
stormy days of his youth, endeavor-
ing to extract from the past plant,
a groan, like those which escaped
from his breast when he saw himself
forsaken by the world. All in vain
One day, at Milan, he was unexpect-
edly called to the bedside of a dying
friend, one of the few who had re-
NAMED true to him in adversely and
prosperity. Verdi, at the sight of
the dying friend, felt lump rise in
his throat; he wanted to weep, but
so intense was his grief that not a
tear flowed to the relief of his an
guish.
In an adjoining room stood a pi-
ano. Verdi, under one of those sud-
den impulses to which men of genius
are sometimes subject, sat down at
the instrument, and there and then
"Miserere" of the Giro
vatore." The musician had given
utterance to his grief.

USE LIME TO THAW GROUND
Engineer Describes Process Which
Enabled Him to Continue Opera
tions During the Winter.

In describing some difficult sewer
construction at West Liberty, Iowa,
Charles P. Chase, the engineer in
charge, gave the following details re-
garding the use of lime to overcome
frost: ..i,.----' >.
The work was carried on through
the whole winter, when the ground
was frozen to depth of four feet, in
which state it resisted all efforts of
a trenching machine to break
through it. The lime was spread
over the frozen ground, covering the
width of the trench to be opened,
and was then broken up into small
pieces and covered thickly with
straw, hay or manure. Water was
then poured on the straw so as to
thoroughly slack the lime. Hot wa
ter was found best and fastened the
Stacking. The covering retained the
heat, which, with the hot water, PEN
etrated the frozen ground sufficient
ly to enable the tre9ching machine
to make Roadway. On another job
a covering of old boards with a
steam jet was used to hurry up the
process. The same process has been
successfully employed in Clinton,
Iowa, where the contractor continued
work with interruption throughout
the notwithstanding News.

New Jersey Man Catches All Sorts Of
Bait for Black Bass 70 sell
to Fishermen.

Standing on the towpath looking
intcntly down into the water Of the
old Morris canal, in a stretch Of IL
in Marris county, N. j., was a man
whose right hand presently shot
down suddenly to snap mp something
out Of the water, which he quickly
transferred to a curious little box
about a foot square he had in his
other hand.
y pedestrian on the towpath who
lad wondered what all this meant
Jaw when he had come near that the
box had wire screens for sides. just
row there we're in the box a dozen
or two spring toads, a species Of
frog found around springs and in
narshy places and also called the old
fashioned tobacco toad and the leap
ard frog. II was a spring toad that
the man had suddenly snapped up
out of the water and put into the
box moment before.
The pedestrian learned that the
frog catcher makes business of
catching these frogs to sell as bait
for black bass to fishermen, and he
had caught $50 on that day, using
no net, catching them with his hands
alone.
This man catches also for bait hell
gamites, crawfsh and grasshoppers.
He also hunts bullfrogs for their
hind legs. A license is required to
catch bullfrogs in Morris and Passaic
counties. Spring toads for bait he
ships to neighboring fishing locali-
ties in kegs, loosely packed in wei
grass. For fifteen years he has been
following the business of catching
black bass bait, working at it regu.
larly from May to October.
