ECLIPSE
Of Moon Wednesday Night
Witnessed By Many Persons

Interplanetary tourists who CHANGED
to stop on the moon Wednesday night,
if such there were, enjoyed watching
an almost total eclipse Of the sun.
Less fortunate mortals, tied down to
the monotony of earthly existence on
this side of the world, witnessed a
very interesting partial eclipse of the
moon, which demonstrated again the
scientific fact that the lunar body
shines only with borrowed light.
From 8 until IL o'clock last night,
the planet earth was between the sun
and the moon, almost directly, and the
fact was demonstrated by the dark
ness which threatened for time to
envelope completely the orb of
night" Starting at the outer rim Of
the moon, the shadow progressed un-
til 1915, when only one-tenth of the
circle was visible. Receding as slow
ly as it had progressed, the shadow
entirely had left the moon shortly af-
ter midnight
Last nights partial eclipse was visi-
BILE in North and South America, west
ern Europe and western Africa. An
other partial eclipse of the moon is
due Sept. 3, but it will not be visible
east of the Rocky Mountains.
Eclipses of practically the same
kind have been found to recur after
a period of 1S years and IL days. Ac-
oording to this reckoning, an eclipse
of the kind witnessed last night, will
take place March %, 1882.

Official statistics show that, although
India imports annually cotton goods
worth about $2O0,OO0,OOO. only about
Sl,000000 is received from the United
States.
China imports about S100.000,000 an
nually and receives only $S,OO0.O00
from the United States. To the mar
kets of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
the United States sells less than ST.
100000 worth of cotton materials an
nually.
1t is further pointed out that in 1913
cotton manufactures to the amount of
65.5O0,O00 were imported into the
United States.

AR(iE
Return For Taxation Made
For First Time

Columbus, o., March 1.-THE state
tax commission was given distinct
shock Wednesday morning when it
received information from District AS
SCISSORS Myers and Greer of Montgom-
cry county, to the effect that Peter
Kuntz, a wealthy lumberman of Day
ton, had made a voluntary return Of
$560,922 on personal property. This
is the first time that Mr.. Kuntz has
ever made a personal property return,
and the figures for a time staggered
the assessors at Dayton. Mrs. Kuntz
at the same time. made a return OF
$4,000 in personal property.
The property Of Mr.. Kuntz consists
of s455,625 in credits, $98,247.50 in
cash, and $1,000 in stocks and bonds
subject for taxation.
A few days before the tax listing
period set in Mr.. Kuntz, accompanied
by his wife, left for the South for
the latter's health. District Assesosrs
Myers and Greer were unable to get
any satisfaction form Kuntz's repre-
sentatives in Dayton in their efforts to
get personal property return, so the
two takers wrote the Dayton lumber
king and gave him until March IL to
make his return. Last Sunday Kuntz
returned from his Southern trip ana
nonchalantly informed the Dayton tax
ers that he had come home to make a
return.

Although farmers wives have many
labor-saving devices for helping them
in their work, the one who is her own
maid-of-all-work finds enough steps to
take and would welcome something
which would prevent her running up
and down stairs SO many times day.
In the house where no ice is used and
the housewife depends upon the cool
ness of the cellar to keep her vegeta-
bles, milk and butter the right temper
ature, she would be very apt to lose
track if she should attempt to count
the number of times that she runs ov-
er the stairs from sunrise, or milking
time in the morning, until the milk is
strained and put away at night
Meal time usually calls for many
trips. First, the busy woman must run
down for the potatoes for dinner, un-
less there is a small son or daughter
to send, then there is the butter to
take out of the crock and put into the
butter dish, the pitcher of milk and an
other of cream, the can of fruit to be
opened for dessert, the dish of pickles
and possibly one or two other things
for the meal and the question is,
How is she to carry all these upstairs
without making several trips?
Ingenuity has helped her to think
out ways and means to assist in get
ting all of these into the dining room
without running down the stairs sew

eral times, but few feel that the quee.
ton has been answered to their satis-
faction. One may use big dish-pan
with handles and fill that so as to-
make two or three trips suffice for get
ting meal and the same number
when she puts the food away after il
Is over. However well she may have
planned the trips for the meals, when
it comes to milking time the dishpan
can hold but one pan of milk, so that
method would be of no avail in saw
ing steps; but the woman who has a
dumb-waiter which may be lowered
from the first floor TO the cellar may
make one trip accomplish all the work.
To arrange one of the useful con-
trivances to pass through trap-door
would be very simple and worth to
the busy housewife many times the
amount of money or work it would
cost to install it. If the man of the
house is handy with tools, he might
be prevailed upon to put one in before
the heavy spring work begins, and in
that case the expense would be very
light
Farmers learned many years ago
that to make the best success of their
work they must have the hbor-sav-
ing devices in their barns and the best
machinery in the fields, and the farm
ers' wives are now seeking The intel-
ligent application of all useful imple,
ments to assist them in their work.
