a FOOL THERE A

Edward Jose, who plays the part
created by Robert billiard in the Por-
ter Emerson Brownies drama "A Foo
There Was" a William Fox Produc'
ton Extraordinary, released through
the Box Office Attraction Co., and
opening at the Grand Monday after
noon and night, navigates in his part
of a wealthy man, the victim OF a
siren. a magnificent gasoline cruising
Yacht on which he is supposed to be
entertaining a party. The scenes
were made off the Florida coast and,
incidentally, something occurred u
ing their filming that was distinctly
out OF the ordinary.
The gasoline cruiser. a n%lnety.foot
craft. chartered for the scene, was
being piloted by MIR: Jose at her top
speed, which is twenty knots: AS she
cut along through the water a gay
marty of friends of the owenT's are
seen enjoying themselves with easy
chairs and tall glasses on the after
deck. Things were going in THIS
pleasant vein one afternoon, and the
camera posted in the bow was mer.
ri1y clicking off its appointed feet OF
film, when suddenly there was a jar
like that of an earthquake. The cam.
era was thrown from its tripod and
the quests" were hurled outIo of their
chairs helter-skelter.
The first impression was that they
had collided with a derelict or struck
some unusually large snag. After
the engines had been slowed down.
however, it was discovered that float
Ing astern were two halves Of a sev-
cred shark which the bow Of the
cruiser had sliced as neatly In two
as IL a keen knife had been used.
Mr.. Jose declares he is the only
person on earth who eve carved a
fish with a gasoline yacht. In the fu;
ture, he adds, he would prefer to
serve the fish course in the ordinary
way.

In his Life of Thomas B. Reed' NIT. Samuel W. Mccall tells this story about the former speaker, who was an unusually large man:
 When his daughter Katherine, or Kitty as he called her. was little girl she had a cat to which she was much devoted. One day the kitten was sleeping in Reeds chair when he was about to sit down. His daughter. ill horror. gave the chair a sudden pull tU save the cat from annihllation. and as . result Ar. Reeu sat down heavily on the floor.

 The Dominion Telegraph Company has installed telegraph office at the nearest, point on it's line to the new field and as it is but twenty or twen- ty-five miles back to the "diggings" the outside world will be able to keep posted as to the results so far as winter work is concerned It is said that nearly one hundred men will winter in the new diggings and that means that. large amount of work will be done before now and next spring.

THE FATA MORGANA.
Conditions That Must Obtain to Allow of, Its Production.

Conditions That Must Obtain to Allow .. , oflts Production.
 The fata morgana Is a singular aerial phenomenon akin to the mirage. It Is seen in many parts of the world. but most frequently and in greatest per lection at the strait of Messina. be- tween Sicily and Italy. So many con- ditions must coincide. however, that even there it is of comparatively rare occurrence.
 To allow of Its production the sun must be at an angle of forty-fve de grees with the water, both sky and sea must be calm and the tidal cur rent sufficiently strong to cause the water in the center to rise higher than on the edges of the strait When these conditions are fully met the observer on the heights of Calabria, looking to- ward Messina, will behold . series of rapidly changing pictures. sometimes of most exquisite beauty.
 Castles, colonnades, successions of beautiful arches. palaces, cities, with houses and streets and church domes: mountains, forests, grottoes, will ap- pear and vanish, to be succeeded per haps by heets of ships. sometimes plac- idly sailing over the deep, sometimes inverted, while a halo like . rainbow surrounds every image.
 It is supposed that the images are due to the irregular refractive powers of the different layers of air above the sea, which magnify. repeat and distort the objects on the Sicilian shore be- yond. but to the Italians these singu- lar appearances are the castles of the Princess Morgana. and the view of them is supposed to bring good fortune to the beholder

?; PROOF COINS.

They Ars Always Struck From NsW
 and Specially Prepared Dies.
 Proof coins have been struck at the Philadelphia mint for. many years. but at no other mint, to be sold to collec- tors. A premium of about 10 per cent is charged when lot includes coins of all denominations For minor proof sets, however. when ordered separate ly. a little more than double the face value is charged.
 The coins are struck from new and specially prepared dies on planchets previously burnished. a hand press in. stead of the regular steam press being used. When there is a smooth field around the raised portion of coin the burnishing gives the surface lasting brilliancy that is very attractive
 Our silver coins still have such a field, but the gold coins, particularly the $5e and $2.50 pieces. and the minor coins no longer present this desirable feature In fact, outside of the lines being little finer. proofs of these coins differ little In appearance from pieces struck for regular circulation.
 The incused inscriptions on the gold coins do not harmonize with the field as did the old raised inscriptions. while on the minor coins the field is not smooth. and the nickel has really no 6eld, an excess of lettering distiguring what is not monopolized by the Indian head and the buffalo. The S2O and $1O pieces present artistic designs. but proofs of these coins are far from be- ing as attractive as were those of the old designs. ns.-Pittsburgh Press.

FORMER GOVERNORS WIFE
 BOOSTING FOR JUNEAU.

Mrs. Walter E. Clark, writing for former Gov. Clark's Charleston, w. Va, Mail, in an illustrated article, has the following to say of Juneau: Juneau, the capital of Alaska, re- minds one at first glance of Swiss village. The mines of Silver Bow basin are just back of it, and their output increases every year It is a lively town of about 4500 inhabitants and takes it's name from Joseph Ju- neau, a prospector, who through winning the confidence of the In- dians, discovered gold in the Silver Bow basin. The city has a fine capi- tol building, an executive mansion, a court house, and numerous fine
 buildings. It was the home of the
 late Chief Joseph, the head of the
 Raven branch of the Taku Indians.
 He became wealthy through his trad ing business with the Indians and is said to have been the originator of 8 drink called "hoochinoo." miser- able concoction made of fermented
 molasses, flour, sugar and corn meal. One or two drinks of this stuff will
 turn man into an incarnate fend." A alH

Why We Draw Back.

Our human intercourse is constantly being thwarted by our consciousness of consequences. It is especially the case when we are young. Young peo pie feel that they can hardly have an intimate conversation without it's end ing in a promise to correspond or all invitation to visit. If we keep this at titude as we grow older the conscious ness that moments intimacy may entail so much makes Us pause before taking the fateful plunge. How often do We draw back in moment of ex pansion because we reflect. Shall we feel the same way tomorrow or next month";" How many friendly impulses do we restrain because we are afraid something more will be expected of us New York Telegram.

Chain. on All Four Wheels.

When one places chains on the rear wheels of an automobile only, as Is so often done, he overlooks the fact that 1t is the forward pair of wheels that give the car It's direction and that it is If anything more important to insure these against skidding than the rear wheels. The only way to be safe is to put chains on all four wheels in slip pery weather. The slight trouble in volved Is in no way commensurate to the danger which is always present where skidding is a possibility. A driver who is too lazy and shiftless to take this simple precaution should be deprived of his license.-Outing.
