CAMP FIRE GIRLS OF THIS CITY

 The commercialism which it is cIzimed has crei~t into the high ideals of the organiza ton is in the quitting of the girls with camp fire parapher- na1ia. The national head of the or ganlzation, pr. G.uMck. was quizzed at length on the contracts entered into with an outdtting company for the supply of such goods at a stormy meeting on Monday, in New York city. at which both Miss Grumman and Miss Macgeorge, of the Bridgeport council. were active participants.

EALLINa 4 MILE
Curious Effect of Dropping Rocks Down
 a Deep Mine Shaft.


 In reference to the deep mine shafts at Calumet some experiments conduct ed by members of the faculty of the Michigan College of Mines are Inter esting. It had been noticed that in the vertical shafts at the Tamaraek mine if some ore or rock were spilled near the surface men working in the bottom of the shaft mile below were not much bothered and sometimes only observed "a little dust" It is stated that car of broken rock could be dumped into the shaft without in- Jury to a man standing directly under heath mile down.
 The reason is that the rock would never reach the bottom, but would lodge in the sides of the shaft on the timbers that protrude a few inches at Intervals-that is. the rock would not fall straight, since these shafts are exactly vertical.
 In the experiments conducted two round metal DilllS were uIoPPeu ihlV the center of shaft by burning threads by which they were suspend ed, so as to give them no lateral mo ton. It was tried to catch the balls in box of clay In the bottom of the shaft. None of them was caught. One ball was never found afterward The other was found In the east wall of the shaft only rew~hundred feet below the surface.
 The explanation Is that the earth Is revolving from west to east which gave the ball an eastward component in It's fall because a particle on the surface of the earth is travelling at a higher rate of speed than one nearer the center. although at the same angu' lar velocity Thus ball or rock drop ped in the shaft will strike the east wall a few hundred feet from the sur face. possibly then rebUunding several times In it's drop until it lodges on timber or on level.

Seattle, March 1$-Lectures on the planting and care of shade trees will be given by students in the college of forestry before such com- mrn;ty clubs in Seattle and nearby c ies as are willing to pay the nee eSsvry expenses. Several of the npper elassmen are now working up these lectures under the direction of Dean Hugo Winkenwerder. The lec tures will be illustrated by stereopts con views.
 investigation of the shade tre. problem of the cities by the college uas brought out the fact that prac- Iically all the cities over the coun- try are making special provisions fcI securing uniformity in planting an ,:lso for having proper care taken of The trees.
 Tree trimming is really an art, and should be done only by people who understand it. according to Dean Winkenwerder. He says that shade tree conditions in Seattle are especially bad, as a number of she finest trees in the older part of the city nave been ruined by improCeE trimming.

Presidential chSesss.

The first monster cheese presented to a president of which we can find rec ord is that offered with great publicity to Jefferson in 1902. The cheese was made-one might almost say buft-in Cheshire, Mass, in press giving 1t the great dimensions of four feet diam- eter and eighteen inches high. After being successfully pressed 1t was drawn from Cheshire to Washington in q six horse dray amid popular re- joicing. With regard for the dignity of his office, the president insisted on footing the bill to the tune Of $2oo. There is record of an even greater cheese presented to President Jackson. and President Van Buren received . great cheese every year of his incum- bncy. With him the custom seems to have ended.-New York Sun.
