Concerning the Dolomites.

The fairyland about Cortina is ia
1niliar to thousands of tourists as 1.-The
DolOmites.' Dolomite, a rock com
pounded of carbonate of lime and car
Donate of magnesia. takes rs lame
from the French gaoogi~; .,,Ut.;it de
Gratet, Marquis de Do.omieu, who
spent his time i'll 1879 and the follow
ing years, while his countrymen were
busy with revolution and war, in visit
ing this and other Alpine districts. He
first mentions this kind of rock i'll
1871, and the word "DoIomite" first
occurs in a pamphlet of 1902 describ-
ing a tour of his in the Alps about the
st. Gothard and the Simplon. The
curious point, noted by Mr.. Coolidge.
is that the marquis seems to have
paid no attention to the dolomite rocks
in the neighborhoOd of his own home,

The Familiar Unknown.

Things you see every day and never
notice form a favorite topic with those
who probe curiously into our defcien-
cies. The watch trick is perhaps an
open secret by now, and yet you may
fail in reproducing the Roman figures
that you confront in all moods many
times a day. Can you describe the as
pect of a shilling, which | hope you
see as many times day, or penny
postage stamp? I am sure that any
postal maiden could sell me a dozen
penny stamps with the wrong head on
them and send me away contented.
And yesterday 1 met man who had
lived for years in happiness on Haver-
stock hill and couldn't tell me the
number of steps that led to the front
door of his own house.-London Spec
tator.

Fort Atkinson.

Some persons have funny idea OF
what constitutes a good time. Ed
Homer of Edgerton is one OF these.
Ed started out by getting drunk, came
to Fort Atkinson Sunday with horse
and buggy and in some way got the
impression that our streets could be
utilized as race track. Among other
things he did while in our city was to
drive over the platform at the North
westerd depot and drive upon the Clar-
ence Aspinwall lawn on S. Fourth
street, west When asked why he did
these things he replied that he wanted
to have good time. His good time
resulted in his being arrested. Monday
Justice E. S. Rice fined him $50 and
costs for fast driving.
Geo. Zimmerman, held for hear
ing at the City Hall building Monday
afternoon on the charge of feloniously
stealing horse and buggy from Kle-
ment Bros. livery, was bound over to
the circuit court. His story was heard
by District Attorney A. L. Stengel and
Justice of Peace E. S. Rice. thinner
mann, who has been employed off and
on at the Klement Bros livery, on last
Friday morning at 2 O'Clock hltched up
one of the Klement Bros. horses valued

theft was not discovered until Roy Kle-
ment entered the barn shortly before Z
o'clock the same morning. Chief of
Police Rose was Immediately notified
and given information concerning the

With % men working day and evening
shifts, they have run the capacity up
to nearly 200 heaters per day, but IN
order to fill orders reasonably prompt
they would like to increase their daily

Gilman Burthe, a young man resid-

immoderate and careless driving of his

work of rebuilding the city's dam at
Dunkirk, in accordance with plans pre-
pared jointly by himself and Engineer
Henry Hunt who is in the employ of
the hydraulic engineering firm that

have been approved by the state au-

and spilIway equipped with steel gates
similar to those at the Prairie du Sac
dam, but, of course, on smaller scale.
A cofferdam below the old spillway has
been constructed and the frame struc-
ture is being torn down and the muck
below being cleared away in prepare

shift will be put on So that the work

The R;ea of Newfoundland.

Newfoundland has had curious his
tory. Cabot, sailing from Bristol, dis
covered it in 1897, and in 1888 Sir Hum
phrey Gilbert annexed its wild and
rocky shores for Queen Elizabeth. Yet
until 100 years ago it was illegal to
build a permanent house there. The
island was held by merchant adven-
t11rers" for the sake Of the fisheries.
They hired their fishermen III England
took them across the Atlantic each
spring and brought them back at the
commencement of winter.
Newfoundland Importance In the
cod fishery arises to a great extent
from the fact that it is only within her
waters that the small fish desirable as
bait can be obtained in the necessary
uuantities.-London Telegraph.

Barcelona's Leather.

In the Barcelona district of Spain
alone there are from 10000 to 10000
tanned and finished sheepskins pro-
duced daily and probably as many
goatskins. The sheepskins in partic-
lar find their way into the shoe trade
as we'll as the goatskins. Both kinds
converted into morocco leather. the
goatskin being the genuine article and
the sheepskin the imitation, are used
extensively in the bookbinding trade.

A Curious Royal Custom.

When any Spanish sovereign dies
the body is at once submitted to the
process Of fossilization. nor can 1T be
placed in the royal pantheon until the
body has been absolutely turned into
stone. Curiously enough. the period re-
CURED for fossilization varies consid-
erably. Some royal bodies have be-
come solidified in very short period,
while others have taken years before
the fossilization took place.

the turn would have been a highly profit
able one. Steel common Is down from the

since the July closing. Bethlehem crossed

that there will bs a rush OF investment

Rock Island "RIghts."

Tho Rock Island common and preferred
shares sell for real money. II rot very
much. There Is real market in them
And yet these shares represent nothing
tangible. The Rock Island company has
no assets and no claims whatever upon
the old Rock Island property now taken
over by the collateral Dondholders. The
solution of the mystery appears to be n
strong idea that the holders OF the Rock
Island stocks will receive preference when
the old Rock Island railway company does
its new financing Despite the enthusiast
tie statements of Mr.. AmSter, OF the NIL
nority committee OF collateral bondholders,
and other meddlers, 1t Is likely that the
troubles OF tho collateral bondholders WIN
only begin when they get the property
into heir hands. Two expert reports on
the condition of the railway estimated that
something between S5O.000.o00 and $780,
O00.0 would have to be spent on the
road to put 1t in decent shape. Whether
tho Rock Island company stockholders
will be invited to help raise the neces-
sary funds as privileged Subscribers and
how much tho privilege will be worth
no one knows. But the prices paid for
tho shares evidently represent an attemp,
to speculate on the outcome. Ths Rock
