THE COLORADO DESERT. E
hsw Sound Carries and the Way NJ
RACES Come and Go.

-
Talk about wireless telephonesl
The Colorado desert goes s6iencs
one better in that line. According
to travellers in that neck of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind of telephone, with OF
without wires, at least up TO a GER
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
OH conversation in an ordinary
tone Of voice, particularly il there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening.
Perhap', after all. the weirdest
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening With the Her-
mometer regis'cr ~ MOI far below
II hundred marx Ne awake,
shs' ering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slig suggestion
Of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grsyish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as a point Of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring Up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, sheets of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
Of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward. topple over
and stand on their heads, their un-
wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into big round ball Of
dazzling brilhance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such an
unseemly attitude by the broad
light of day, quickly resume their
normal position, while all the stark
landscape stiffens into unstirring en-
durance of the garish light and
blazing heat of the desert sun. The
mirage Is gone like bubble. Only
the gray desert remains.

TRICK SHOOTING.
The Way Some Of the Stage Fssts Ara
accomplished.

HSComPiioueo.
When a champion fife shot fires
blindfolded at q wedding ring or q
penny held between his wife's
thumb and finger or seated back to
her shoots, by means Of mirror, at
- apple upon her head or on
fork held in her teeth, the danger
Of using a bullet is obvious. None,
Of course, is needed. The explo-
sion is enough. The apple is al
ready prepared, having been cut
into pieces and stuck together with
an adhesive substance, and thread
with a knot at the end, pulled
through it from the "wings," SO
that it flies to bits when the gun is
fred, is chow il is DONE"
Generally the more dangerous a
feat appears tie more carefully is
all danger guarded against. IN the
civilian Tell" act the thread is
often tied to the assistants foot.
When, again, the ash is shot of q
cigar which the assistant is smok-
ing a piece Of wire rs pushed by his
tongue through a hollow passage in
the cigar, thus, ,thrusting of the ash
at the moment Of firing.
A. favoiite but simple trick is the
shooting from some distance at an
orange held in q ladys hand. Great
applause is invariably forthcoming
When the bullet drops out on her
cutting open the fruit. 1t is insert
ed by hand earlier in the evening.
Another popular trick is that of
snufing out lighted candles. Half
a dozen are placed in front of a
screen, in which as many small
holes are bored. one against each
candle wick. At the moment Of
firing a confederate behind the
screen sharply blows out each can
die with pair OF bellows.
In most instances where a ball or
other object has to be broken on a
living persons head blank car
fridge is used and the effect pro-
duced by other means. A special
wig with a spring concealed in it
worked by wire under the clothes
is generally used, the confederate
manipulating the spring simulta-
neously with the firing Of the rife.
As the ball is Of extrenA thin
glass, a mere touch suilicesS shat
ter it.
In these exhibitions some Of the
rife experts" invite gentlemen
from the audience to testify that
the weapon is indeed loaded. The
cartridge shown looks very well, but
II is a shell Of thin wax blackened
to resemble a leaden bullet. Ii

Use the Road Drag Now.

1t is a great mistake to put off work
ing roads until August or September,
according to the road experts Of the u.
S. Department of Agriculture. The
roads should be worked when the soil
is damp so as to make the soil bake
when it dries out.
If the working of the roads is de-
ferred until the latter part of the sum-
mer when the surface is baked dry and
hard, they are not only difficult to work
but the work is unsatisfactory when
done. Earth which is loose and dry
will remain dusty as long as the dry
weather lasts, and then turn to mud as
the rains begin. By using the road
machine in the spring while the soil is
soft and damp the surface is more
easily shaped and soon packs down into
a dry hard crust which is less liable to
become dusty in summer and muddy in
winter.

Too Mrch For the School.

Not long ago Samuel G. Blythe, the
magazine writer, and Otto Carmichael,
the late Washington newspaper CORE
Spondent, We're driving about Muncie,
Carmichael's home town, when the
later expressed a desire to see the
schoolhouse where he received his first
impressions along educational lines.
So the nose of the automobile was
pointed southwark, and a few miles
out of Muncie they arrived at the old
schoolhouse, a one room brick struc
ture, dilapidated and fast falling into
decay, having been abandoned many
years ago in favor of the modern ICON
solidated'' schools. THAT" said Car
michael, his voice trembling with emo
ton at sight of the old building, lis
where my education began. How

days it recallsr'
Eyes. | see," remarked Blythe dryly,
letting his eyes wander over the doors
and windows that were completely
boarded up; they educated you and

Electricians and Soft Hats.

Every trade exercises same effect on
the dress of it's votaries. The locomO-
tive engineer wears cap and overalls,
the baker white skull cap, the butch
er a long white apron and straw
sleeves, and the cook and the waiter
each has his distinctive garb. Elec-
tricians wear soft hats, and the follow
ing account from the Electrical World
gives the reason why: A SubstatiOn
foreman on an electric line in northern
Indiana was explaining the details of
some work to his men in a recently
completed substation. In pointing out
a joint in the high tension wiring, hat
in hand, the rim of the derby came
into contact with live wires. A circuit
was completed from the high tension
line through the small steel wire In
the rim of the hat and through the
mans body to the ground, thereby
causing shock which proved fatal.
Soft hats have no metal wire in them,
and that is why they are so popular
with electricians.
