A tire 20 well started before diecov-

ORIGIN resulted In the burning Of .

other barn. Two horses were killed,

dents who were summoned out of bed
and scantily clothed, arrived at the
place almost at the same time the fire
companies reached there.
Two box alarms were sent in, one

Seventh street. A few men who
FASTENED to the we'll lighted alley be-
fore the fire companies reached the
place, tried to rescue the animals. As
the shed where the fire started is built
against the barn, the building was
filled with dense smoke and only one
horse was reached. The horse was so
badly burned on the back that 1t was
shot.
The other horse could not be taken
out of the smoke and flames and sui.
located. The body was incinerated.
The fighting of the fire was spec
tacular. The flames were shooting
high in the air. Pieces Of burning
shingles and wisps of blazing hay
were carried by the rising heat high
above the flames.
When the streams of water were
turned in on the hay, dense clouds Of
white smoke illuminated by the
flames, rolled upwards. The terrific

Workmen Remove All Dis.
figuring Marks.

Names, dates, fraternity emblems,
initials, hearts, cartoons, pen
scratches, pen-knife cuts, holes, pencil
marks, chalk marks, drawings, ink
spots and every other devastating
sign of studiousness accumulated in
four years, have been removed from
thousand desks and chairs at the
high school.
Old enough to know better? Never.
Old enough to be bold enough to carve
in the mahogany finished desks what
ever the lesson free but mischief busy
mind alights on. A single desk which
could escape unmarried through four
years of high school usage would be
a relic worth eternal preservation.
When the school bells again call
forth the high school students it will
be to clean desks, newly finished in
mahogany and with fresh coat of
Varnish.

Why the Ocean Is Salty.

The rivers of all the world pour their waters into the sea sooner or later. They wash down vast quanti- ties of solid matter and much matter in solution, of which the greater part is salt. This may be in such small amount that it is imperceptible in the river
 The waters of the seas are evapor- ated by the sun, but none of the salt is taken up into the clouds So the water that returns to the earth in rain contains no salt; but by the time it reaches the sea again, after soak ing through the soil and flowing down the rivers, it has another load Con- sequently the oceans are receiving salt all the time and never giving up any of it.

ONE THING WAS OVERLOOKED
Young Man Is Willing to Concede to Prospective Brides Wishes in
 Everything but Dress.

What makes you think that you really love me?" she said.
 He thought for moment before he replied, and then he said
 T am willing to button you up your back all the rest of your life
 That is something. but is 1t all"
 I am willing to let our house be run by strangers, and that you should never remain in entire ignorance of it's management"
 Rather good. Anything else?"
 am willing that We should have no children, so that you will be able to go to Europe whenever you want to, entertain your friends, and not be tied down
 Good. And is that all?"
 Is this not enough? 2"
 And she doubtfully replied:
 suppose it ought to be. but was in hopes that you would say you were willing to have me wear anything pleased all the rest of my life, no mat ter how really ridiculous it was"

 Our city is now passing from the country village stage to city ways ant it has what was described to us when We were young as growing pains, , which will pass away when we grow older.
 It would be well if we could all be on such terms with neighbors that we could sit on their back porch and see how our own backyard looked from the neighbor's own view point then We would not have so much com. plaint of what our neighbors failed to do

 Now, if most people want weeds cut, most Of the weeds will be cut. If most people want closets cleaned, most closets will be cleaned. If a majority want changes made in the streets and walks built, walks will be built.

EFFECT OF HEAT ON GROUND
Depends Largely on the Nature and Color of the Soii-Does Not
 Penetrate Far.

How far does the heat of the full summers sun penetrate into the ground?
 Replies generally vary from one inch to many hundred feet.. Actually, the distance is about three feet Be- yond this depth the temperature of the soil does not vary appreeiably from hour to hour, let the midday be ever so hot and the midnight ever so cold. At this depth the mean temperature in the summer is about 58 degrees Fahrenheit, and in the winter about 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
 The surface heat takes long while to penetrate downward In fact. curi- ously enough. the change in tempera- ture of the ground takes just more than six months to reach the end of its 20-foot journey.
 In agricultural districts you will hear farmers in the same village talk ing about cold soils and warn" soils. This, although 1t sounds i'm probable to those who have never had anything to do with the land. is an actual fact.
 Everybody knows from personal ex- perience, that black clothes are hotter to wear when hot summers sun Is shining than white ones. hence the ..fannels" for men and the white frocks for girls. The reason for this is that black and other dark colors absorb heat, while white and the lighter shades reflect it. And this ap- plies to soils equally with cloths.
 Those soils which by their ingredi- ents are a darker color are literally warmer than their lighter neighbors. Peaty soils, some of which are nearly black, others rich. dark brown, are the warmest. Light-eolored elays and chalk the eoldest There may be as mich as 15 degrees or 16 degrees Fahrenheit between the temperatures of two soils lying next each other and upon the same day.

There appears to be no doubt what ever of the increasing abundance of wolves in our north country. The in- formation comes to us from too many sources to admit of any doubt on the subject. There are also perfectly nat ural reasons for believing in the in- crease of these ravenous creatures in the Lake St. John country, All who have studied their habits know very well that they follow the red deer in It's migrations. During the last few years, the deer have been driven far ther and farther south by the work of railway construction in the north. and the wolves have naturally enough followed the deer
