Hiah Price For straiahtnes.,

One of the most difficult problems in practical mechanics is to make a straight edge. How difficult it is may be judged from an incident that occur red in the shop of a celebrated astro- nomical instrument maker.
 A patron asked what would be the price of "a perfect straight edge Of glass thirty-six inches long,"
 Tt cannot be made perfect" said the instrument maker, "but it could proba- bly be made with limit of error amounting to only a fraction of wave length of light" ."How much would that cost?"
 About $40.000." a
 It turned out that the customer want ed the, straight edge for a scraper and that an error of one sixty-fourth of an inch would not bother him.-st. Louis Republic. t.

There is Curious Resemblance Be
 tween Them and Meteorites.
 How do nuggets of gold originate al worth q thousand dollars or more i. found By what process was so n,uci gold compacted into lump?
 An attempt was made not long pg' to answer this question. An investiga tor in Australia cut and sliced am polished gold nuggets with the soI. purpose of finding out just what l.: their structure. The first thing he dis covered was that there is one curious point of resemblance between golG nuggets and meteorites. Both. whei polished and etched with chlorine Wa ter. exhibit crystalline structure It. the case of meteorites the lines thus exhibited on the etched surface art called Widmannstattian figures. ant their presence is said to be one of tn. most invariable characteristics of thoS. meta lic bodies that fall from the sk :. to the earth
 But it is not meant to he implied thai gold nuggets have fallen from the sky becnrse they exhibit crystalline struc tnre recalling that of meteorites, Th resemblance Is apparently only super icial. and the crystals of the nug.et differ in form from those of the lil- teOrites.
 Another curious fact is that when q nugget is heated in RullSen flame ex ploSions take place on it's surface lslis ters are formed which. continue t. swell until they burst with sharp rp port and bits of gold are violently seat tered about It is evident that the mug gets contain either gases or some liu uids or solids which are easily c0nver, ed into the g;iSeo,is form. the exlnn sion of, which produces the explosions S-'iIuil)er'A Weekly.

 The lay mind. preferring bald reality to abstract truth. is somewhat startled t0 learn that an object is seen because there is nothing in it to see. but no one can dispute the fact. The e.l:ll sack is visible because 1t contains nothing that is visible.
 In other words. it is vast hole in the stellar system in which there is not even pinch of stellar dust to shed q flicker of luminosity It is typieally and absolutely the quintessencc of blackness.

 When one comes to think of 1t. 1t is surprising how mahy fabulous animab come regularly to the dinner table oI supper table.

STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not tho Least of These Are the Ban.
 quets on the Boards.

QuetS on the 6oaros.
 Nothing is so deceptive as the stage meal, although the art of the property man makes such repasts appear de liciously appetizing.
 A favorite stage substitute for meat Is sponge cake, which cut into the shape of outlets or steaks and judi ciously Drowned with sauce presents most genuine appearance. The ad vantage of such material is that it i, easy for the actors 10 consume anG does not present any difficulties to the carver
 Outlets composed of s,tt toast are also popular in stage cu~l,ary circles and when decorated with dainty pape, frils and parsley look quite the req thing. #
 Do not let your mouth water at the sight of those dainty slices of ham re. posing on lettuce leaves on the baron's festive board. Ham is invariably rep resented on the stage by strips of limo leum, the reddish under side of which makes convincing substitute for the real article As to the surrounding let. tuce, that is generally represented by white leaves from the humble cab. bage.
 The larger and more impressive the stage edible. the greater the fake. Huge pies which when cut produce a cloud of realistic steam are absolutely uneat- able. The crust is merely colored pa v>3n tch 0f hot water and sometimes q few boiled potatoes, which supply the necessary steam. The big sirloin of beef. which apparently weighs pounds. has about six ounces of eatable meat about It The joint is a wooden affair. over which few thin slices of genuine beef are placed, giving the impression of a really fine piece of meat
 Were you to obtain a peep behind the scenes just before a banquet scene was to be staged you would find number of stage hands busily sliring up tona toes and bananas You would see those slices being laid out on plates sur rounded with parsley or white cabbage leaves. Under the glare of the lime. light this dish assumes an astonishing resemblance to lobster salad. and in similar fashion sliced banana is a gen oral substitute for fish. entrees and hors d'oeuvre.
 One of the most astonishing illusions with regard to stage food. however. is where soup is concerned. This is In yariably eawdust, which when ladled out of tureen has all the appearance If thick liquid.
 No banquet would be complete with out . turkey. A loaf of bread delicately drowned and decorated with pegs GOV >rsd with browned dough, saves the management the expense of running uE | poultry bill. Moreover, the come dians can with comparative safety e1ing this asset to the feast about the seage without damage to life or prop wu.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Cotton Belt Cannot Be
Forced To Build Depot
4 Close Inspection OF the State Law
Reveals l0op-lt0le For Railroads
Thus Handicaping Cities

Texarkana, Ark, Sept 23.-Some
weeks ago when the question of ply
tins on the two-cent passenger rate
in Arkansas was 1akeil' up with the
officials of the Cotton Belt railway.
that road refused to put on the two
cent rate, as other roads operating
within the state did.
The TeXarkaAa Freight Bureau, re-
lying Oh law that was recently
passed by the Arkansas legislature,
Informed the Cotton Belt officials
that if the two-cent fare was not
inaugurated on that line in Arkansas
they, the Freight Bureau would take
immediate steps to force the Cotton
Belt to build a depot at this point
within Arkansas, AID, that would
force them into putting on the two
cent. rate, for with the depot in Ar
Kansas the Cotton Belt could not
claim intra-st trips out of here as
at the present time. 2.
However. a close inspection of this
law recently passed reveals a loop
hole through which the Cotton Belt
at this point escapes the provision of
the statute and cannot be forced to
build a new depot in TeXarkana. The
statute covering the matter was
amended so as to provide that where
a railroad already has a depot with
in three hundred feet of the state line
they cannot be forced to build another
station on the other side of the state
line. The Cotton Belt depot in Texar-
kama is less than three hundred feet
from the state line. therefore the
road cannot be forced to build a
depot on the Arkansas side.

shade will be extensively worn, and
blue is to be a pronounced favorite
while. black is always used as a re-
lief, and black and white costumes
continue to be smart. For the early
season street gowns will be in de-
mand as we'll as coat suits and Orien-
tai sashes and wide girdles make at
tractive accessories. In general way
it may be said that the draped skirts
is the favorite, but for street wear the
drapery for the most part, is found
at the front. 1t is just full enough to
make graceful lines and folds without
adding materially to the weight or
bulk. Since everything fashionable is
soft even suitings drape successfully.
