In the Making Of Mirrors.

A chemical action Of the ultravio-
let rays, applicable to the making OF
mirrors, was recently demonstrated
at the French Academy OF Sciences.
This action consists In decomposing
gaseous metallic compounds and pre-
cipitating the metal in finely divided
particles on glass to form rejecting
surface. BY this method It is possible
to produce mirrors backed by re-
rejecting layers of zinc. anthony and
other nonpreclous metals. 1t is said
that the result compares favorably
with the silvered mirror.-Popular

The talk resulted in a partnership
They were to buy the Josiah Flint hill
and marsh and develop the minerals,
peat and other things. The deacon had
laid by some money in his better days.
He was besides, the only man In the
county who knew anything about Flint.
He knew that he had gone to Kansas,
and that he and his wife had died leav-
ing a young girl behind them. The girl
must be OF age by then She must
have had guardian, but he had never
made move about the real estate.
The young man, whose name was
Edward Sweeny, was to go to Kansas
and hunt up Miss Sarah Flint and
stick right to her until she accepted an
offer Then Hardy and Sweeny were
to buy It,

piled Sweeny.
And what do you think we can get
1t for?"
s'T think she'll jump at a thousand"
The deacon chuckled. Then he
sighed. Then he groaned. Then he
went home and said to his wife;

The deacon's conscience felt balmy
after that, and young Sweeny started
out to find the heir. Luck was with
him. He had located her whereabouts
and was approaching the house where
she lived when he beheld her coming
towards him on runaway horse.
There was fine opening for hero,
and he grasped It. He caught the
horse and saved Sarah's life and had a
leg broken. A hero Is a hero in every
state and county Of our glorious Union.
When he has a leg broken In playing
his part he Is taken to the house where
the heroine hangs out and given the
hall bedroom until he can once more
jump fences. This case was no ex'

came, according to program.

WINCHESTER, KY.-Postmaster
John Ii. White has confirmed the
news of resignation contained in
dispatches from Washington and
said he had been ready to resign
ever since President Wilson was
inaugurated, but would not do so
while charges were pending against
him. He said that Senator Brad
ley had had authority from him to
tender the resignation since Feb
ruary 20.
A letter to Mr.. White from the
First Assistant Postmaster General
states that the department has TO-
nored the charges concerning his
domestic troubles and is making
the change solely for reasons of
efficiency"
Mr.. White said that if he had
wanted to, he could have held the
Office until his term was out.

The Word almanac"

The etymology of the word cal
manac" has been more disputed
than that of any other in the Eng
lish language, and from the opin-
ions expressed upon the subject.
Verstegan's has been accepted as
probable, though there cannot be
the slightest doubt that the Saxons,
from whom he obtains his deriva-
ton, took. their term from the Ara
bic. The Saxons, he says, FUSED to
engrave upon certain squared sticks
about foot in length or shorter or
longer as they pleased the courses
of the moons for the whole year,
whereby they could always certainly
tell when the new moons, full
moons and changes should happen,
as also their festival dates, and such
a carved stick they called an al
mon-aght-that is to say, al-mon-
heed-to wit, the regard or observa-
ton of all the moons, and hence is
derived the name of almanac. -

EvAoGo THE LAW.
The Pious MussuIn,sn Artist Painted
Only Dead Birds.

According to one Of the tenets of
the Mohammedan religion, it is a
sin to make picture of any living
thing. The elaborate decorations
of the palaces and mosques of the
east are almost exclusively made up
of ingeniously interplaced geomet-
ric designs, arabesques OF flowers,
intermixed with sentences of the
Koran.
There is a belief among the Mus
sulmans that at the day of judg-
ment Allah will demand that the
artist who has made the image Of a
living thing shall endow that image
with life and that, failing to do this,
the artist will be sent to perdition
for his sin.
A gentleman who visited the
mosque in Algiers found that the
tiles with which the building is
decorated, which are very old and
very beautiful, are adorned with
mgnts OF Dlrds. lie expressed sur
prise at this and asked if the COM
mand against such representation
were a modern edict.
"Oh, no." answered the pious AL
gerian to whom he addressed the
question. "These are not pictures
of living BIRDS"
"But they are painted as if flying
across the tiles" the other said in
some establishment.
eyes," the Mussulman replied,
"but do you not see about the neck
of each there is fine black line ?
That is to show that the artist
painted only dead birds, and the
command of the Koran is not vio-
lated" London Chronicle.

A Story With a Moral.

A schoolmaster in the country
delivered an address to the scholars,
of which the following passage is an
example:
"You boys ought to be kind to
your little sisters. | once knew a
bad boy who struck his little sister
blow over the eye. Although she
didn't fade and die in the early
summer time, when the June roses
were blooming, with the sweet
words of forgiveness ON her pallid
lips, she rose and hit him over the
head with a rolling pin, so that he
couldn't go to school for more thai
month on account of not bein
able to put his hat on."-Londo

AID FOR MEXICO IF
'HUERTA GETS OUT
New York Financial interests
Said to Be Ready to
Make Loan.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.


New York business and financial
interests are planning to make large
loan to the Mexican government If
Huerta retires from the presidency
and turns the administration of al
fairs over to some person In whom
the business interests have conf
dence. Unofficial information from
business sources is to the effect that
Huerta is preparing to get out very
soon, and that Gamboa, present min
lister of foreign affairs, will succeed
him as provisional president.
Gamboa is said to be satisfactory
to American financial interests. Dam
ages to the extent of about 75,OO0,OOO
have been done to the government
owned railroads in Mexico within the
last three or four years. The big
trunk roads are almost complete
wrecks and the bondholders, most
of whom are in New York, have been
informed that the amount stated will
be required to make repairs and re-
build the lines.
The confidence exhibited at the
White House over the ultimate ac-
ceptance by Huerta of the proposals
carried by John Lind is thought to
be based upon President Wilson'S
knowledge of the fact that the only
way the Mexican government can get
money is to accept his program.
