Plaintive Voice of Feline Heard

Kitty in the jug.
A kitten is dying a slow death from
starvation in the partitions of the city
Jail. Its cry was first discovered three
days ago and has beeen Getting
fainter and fainter since that time.
Unless the police officials take def
mite action and get the kitten out,
they will have a feline corpse forever
resting in their midst
During the recent work in remodel
ing the plumbing system Of the build
ing, the kitten crawled into the OPEN
ing made in partition. In some man.
ner the little animal made its way up
and there it stayed. It is there yet
and its plaintive voice can be heard
in Judge HurOn's office and in the wo-
mems ward of the Jail.
The death of a kitten is in itself
nothing of great importance and
would probably not cause much dis
turbance. But at the same time hu-
name officers and others might inter-
est themselves and get kitty out.
The officers spoke this morning of
cutting a hole in the wall and rescu-
ing the kitten. Up to noon, however,
the animal seemed doomed to remain.
The city Jail is at last being remod.
eled. The jailor's office will be re-
moved to the big, and now vacant,
south room. Partitions will be taken
out. the reception room for prisoners
will be made larger and It will be q
much more roomy headquarters for

often has the appearance of being q

national costume is best seen. In the
north the women wear short dark
gowns. with fringed handkerchiefs
tied becomingly over their curly fair
hair. black ones for the matrons and
white ones for maidens. In the south
the old Norwegian dress is often worn.

MODERN WIRE ROPE.
Mathematical Precision Rules Every
Process In lts Making

Mathematical Precision Rules Every
Process In lts Making.
Although wire rope has been used as
a mechanical appliance for almost 1900
years. II is commonly regarded as a
modern invention. During the many
years which have elapsed since the
first records of its use wire rope has
passed from crude to highly devel
oped product. and the purposes for
which it Is employed have increased a
thousandfold In no other branch OF
the American steel industry is there SO
great demand for material of proved
integrity. for 1t might be safely sug-
gested that wire rope is born to be
abused. 1t is subjected to tremendous
tensile strains: 1t must Withstand con
slant bendings. abrasion, corrosion and
the peculiar internal stress produced by
vibration
Wire rope as 1t is made today is the
product of the metallurgist and the me-
chanic. Every process, from the smelt
ing OF the ores. the cold drawing of the
wire and the heat treatments 1t re-
ceives down to the stranding or laying
up of the cable, is conducted with
mathematical precision.
The chemist sees that only steel Of
the proper analysis is used; the electric
pyrometer insures uniformity Of heat;
treatment in various testing machines
clearly develops the worth of the prod
uct before 1t is allowed to leave the
mill Wire rope Is used in the mine
shafts more than mile In depth, and
may be found on aeroplanes which sail
mile or more above the ground

FIRST BASEBALL GLOVE.

noticed that he wore kind of glove.
When the game was over ] went 10
him and asked what 1t was that ne
wore on his hand. He told me that
he was machinist and had got his
hand badly hurt the week before. ana
he showed me the wound In his palm,
He said the boys did not want him
to play In that game. but he got
piece of thin sheet steel and mace
1t slightly concave. but so that It did
not quite touch the sore place He
then made short glove to cover al
the hand excepting the first joints OF
the fingers and doubled the leather In
the palm SO that he could slip the
plate between.
/ asked him II 1t hurt. and he SAID
1t did not and that he could take hot
one and hold 1t better with the glove
than without IT, That Is the whole
story. | don't think that Spaiding
ever talked to the little chap with the
iron fist. as the boys dubbed the third
baseman. but everybody In Rockford
knew about the mitt, and he may
have got the idea from him. Anyway,
that was the FIRST glove that any ball
player ever wore.

SQUIRTING AT THE STARS.

Their Distances.

II Helps the Astronomer In Calculating
Their Distances.
While lecturing recently to an audi
ence OF children at the Royal institu-
ton, London. Professor III. FL. Turner
explained how astronomers measure the
distances of the sun. moon and stars.
The importance Of squirt was ex-
planned with the aid OF match and a
cigar. Putting the cigar In his mouth
and lighting the match. he told them 1t
was by squirting that he judged the
distance at which to hold It
Then, taking another cigar. which
was about twelve inches In length. he
explained how In that case 1t was not
necessary to squint 80 much. as the
point OF distance to be measured by the
eyes was further away
This was done to illustrate the fact
that, just as the brain calculates the
distances of things seen by means of
the angle OF the squirt, 80 astronomers
tell the distance of the stars by reckon
ing the amount of "squint' involved
when looking at them.
Two telescopes are placed apart at an
exactly measured distance. The astron-
omer then looks through the two tel
escapes at the same time and. having
got them to the angle at which he can
see the particular star, just reckons up
the amount Of "squint" and reels it OF

A marquise who was in residence for
a few days at a Partisan hotel discov-
cred that her pearl necklace. worth
$4,000. had disappeared from her
room. Suspicion fell on a messenger
boy, who admitted his guilt but de-
clared that the necklace had been
taken from him by his mother. The
mother corroborated her sons state
ment expressing establishment that 90
much trouble should be made about
n trashy little trinket." which. she
explained, looked 20 cheap and tawdry
that she had given It to her daughter

teens, displayed an equal contempt for

lice that she had given the necklace
to her little girl to wear, but she had
removed about half the beads. All the
missing pearls were found in a box
among buttons and hooks and eyes.

n 10 Many sided and Fairly EeIipsss
Poor Cape Ann.
Cape Cod. aside from its shape. has
name to conjure with. What more
appropriated Cod Is the palladium Of
our liberties. We have made unto our
selves a craven image thereof and
have hung the same In our statehouse
as a memorial forever. Our senior
senator and the various congressman
from down Essex way never let tho
sacred fish go out OF their thoughts.
Indeed. Cape Ann is just as anxious
over the cod as the other cape is and
probably wishes 1t had a similar
chance at the name. The name OF
Cape Ann doesn't mean anything now.
whatever 1t meant TO the fattering
colonists who first wished the then
monarch's name on 1t.
Cape Ann doesn't look like human
foot In fact. 1t doesn't look like much
Of anything but Cape Ann. But Cape
Cod, with its sands. its bars, its long
tongues and splits. is distinctive. Peo-
pie try TO swim TO It. A certain kind
of aristocracy is named for It, Its
people get into books and then sue
the publishers. The pilgrim fathers
