MoIasses for Mines

Mr.. Launcelot USHER of Johannes
burg, in South Africa, has introduced
a new dust-iaying preparation for use
in mines, the base of which, is mo-
lasses. The Iron and Coal Trades Re
view says that spray of the mixture
lays the dust permanently. In one
mine it was found that the drive walls
sprayed with it remained, in some
parts of the mine, sticky and dust
catching for nearly a year. The prep
aration, which contains a small guam
tity of some disinfectant, forms a
thick coating on the underground
walls and surfaces, and closely covers
all dangerous sputum, microbes or 9TH
er noxious matter. The Rand mining
authorities, it is said, are planning to
use the new preparation in the mines
that they control.

,"HoBO" A MAN OF WEALTH
Arrested and Fined for Drunkenness,
Nagrant Iiquidated From Large
Roll of Real Money.

The flashing of a roll of greenbacks
amounting to more than one thousand
dollars by a supposed hobo, arrested
on the streets of Upland on a drunk
charge, caused a stir in Judge George
r. Cranes court.
When the man, who is apparently
fifty years of age, was arrested he
gave the name of F. w. McWilliam,
but later developments showed his
true name to be Finley Graham. A
search by the officers before the man
was placed in Jail produced from
Graham's clothing stale bits of lunch,
a razor and a pocket knife.
When taken to court the man wept
pitIfully, with the result that Judge
Crane pronounced the light sentence
of ten dollars or ten days in jail with
the expectation that he would take
the latter. CONSERVATION reigned
when he produced the long green
from a secret pocket which the Off
GERS had overlooked in their search.
Graham also had in his possession a
bank book showing deposits of IS 900
in a Los Angeles savings bank.-On-

Test for Mental Deficiency.

A Belgian physician, Doctor De
moor, has been making observations
on the capacity of different people
for judging which of two weights is
the heavier, and has satisfied himself
that, while ordinary people, especially
children, fail to appreciate small diff
erence, the reverse is the case with
the imbecile, idiotic and half-witted.
He prepared two bottles, differing in
size. partly filled with a heavy min
eral but covered all over with black
paper and exactly equal in weight.
These he handed to $50 children of
from six to fifteen years of age OF
these $40 judged one bottle to be the
heavier. The other ten said the two
were the same weight. These ten chill

MAYOR OBJECTED TO GRILL
Incident at Recent "Gridiron Dinner
at Boston That Has Its
Humorous~Side.

They had a kind of gridiron dinner
in Boston recently-one of those far
cical banquets in which everybody is
grilled. But it seems that Mayor
Curley belied his Irish blood by
proving unable to stand the gaff,"
and left the dinner in a rage. A pain
full impression was left by the incl
dent, and the Boston papers agree that
Boston isn't really adapted to gridiron
dinners
This seems to be pHfW enough,
but the funny fact is dz1&h was
the place of origin of thes8 Spoof1ng''
and farcical dinners. The old Papyrus
club invented them thirty or forty
years ago and carried them on for
many years before the Gridiron club
of Washington took up the idea and
developed it into something richer and
stronger.
The Papyrus jokes were always di-
rected at new members or guests, and
many staid Bostonian has found him-
self the astonished focus of fantastic
compliments" that made his blood
run cold. or mock denunciation that
would have fitted Judas Iscariot or
Benedict Arnold, and of tales and
charges that were abominable. Bos-
ton survived these-but possibly

Why Hair Turns White.

Discussing the whitening OF the hair,
the journal of the American Medical
association remarks Incidentally that
why the beard grows anew after cut
tingeDr shaving rs not known, nor why
it grows more rapidly in summer than
in winter. The real reason for the
silvery gray appearance of the hair in
aging persons fs not because the
phagcrytes discovered by Doctor
Metcnnikoff have eaten the pigment,
but because a new hair coat has
formed, like the seasonal coat of ami
mails which assume different coIors
1t is not true that ones hair can grow
white IN a single night; despite the
myths of Marie Antoinette and the
prisoner of Chillon, there is not a sim
gle authenticated case of this in his
tory.

ZEAL COST CALF ITS LIFE
Owner of Money on Which Animal
had Made Light Lunch Got Most
of II Back

An amusing story that viii interest
those who read The Dump" in the
Companion is told by Mr. Jack Bias
engame, an old Texas cattlemah.
A good many years ago." says Mr.
Blasengame, my brother and 1 were
buying cattle in East Texas In those
days people were not quick to &C
cept a strangers check, and we had
to take the cash along with u.s. We
also carried along our branding iron,
and put our brand on the cattle as
soon as we bought them.
One day we bought little bunch
of yearlings from a widow. and among
them was a motherless calf that had
been raised as a pet. --=.rr-a--.-----
We penned the yearlings in the
lady's cowpen, and when we began
the work of branding 1 pulled on my
coat and hung it on a corner of the
rail fence. In the inside pocket of
my coat was a leather bill book that
contained $3.50 in SO and $40 bills.
While we were busy at our work.
the pet calf pulled the bill book out
of my coat pocket, and in some way
got it open; before we discovered him,
he had swallowed the entire $3.50.
and was chewing on the bill book
OF course there was nothing for
us to do except to kill the calf. This
we did, and in its stomach we found
the mutilated money, but in the whole
lot there was not scrap larger than
postage stamp. We took the sticky
mass of paper and spread it out or
a wagon sheet, and summed it until II
was perfectly dry Then we took II
to the nearest post office and sent il
