MERRY MINSTRELS FEB. IL.

That minstrel show is going to be
a "hum-dinger," in Indiana slang:
and il you haven't gotten your seats
you had better get move on. Judg-
ing from the fast advance sale of
seats at the Valley Drug store, it
will be a S. r. O. house. The fame
OF these black face comedians has
gone even beyond the four corners
OF the great domain of Phillips
county, and all will be there on Fri
day night to watch these top-notch-
ers cop the footlight honors. Fancy
dancing, gorgeous costumes, and
songs which will make Caruso jeal-
GUS, will feature the occasion. The
repartee between the interlocutor
and his end men is simply uproar-
ious, and look out for some extra
special stunts to be pulled off there.
An orchestra OF ten pieces, none bet
ter in Montana, will assist; and a
big dance is to follow Immediately
afterward. Come on in, the waters
fine. Be there with the rest OF the
ducks.

the Use Of Pin Holes.

One Of the sserst Service Methods 10
the Use Of Pin Holes.
In their surveillance and apprehen-
sion Of suspected persons government
secret service officers often find it nee
essary to mark the money" handled
by such persons. There are various
methods Of So marking the national
currency, one Of the o novel Of
which is the pinprick.
The note to be marked is, say, the
Eve dollar silver certificate bearing the
vignette Of an Indian chief in his full
.regalia of feathers and trappings and
presenting a full face view. With the
aid Of a pin the secret service man
makes two punctures in the bill direct
~ in the pupils Of the Indians eyes.
To the casual and sometimes even
critical inspector Of the note these pin
pricks are invisible. If raised to the
light, however. the bill will distinctly
reveal them.
The markings are complicated by the
following process: The pin point is ap-
Piled In the twist Of the large figure
s at the two upper corners of the note.
These tiny twists do not appear in the
"necks' Of the two figures s that are
at both ends Of the bottom Of the note.
The note is nov pierced again. this time
in the ends Of the scrolls or each side
of the word five in the lower center Of
the bill. The marking is now COM
plete. In secret it is exhibited to one
or more persons for purposes of identi-
flcation and is then placed in the till or
money drawer to which the suspected
person has access
It is said that the pinpricks will re-
main perfect for some time. When
such bills are produced in court and
their marking is explained under oath
conviction is practically certahs~Ev-

POPULAR MECHANICS
Speedometer For Speed Control.

SpccuVIlIeleI TVI opeeu VVIllI VI.
Speedometers. as a rule, only tell the
motorist when he is exceeding the
speed limit They do not prevent his
doing SO. says the Scientific Ameri-
can. On commercial motor vehicles
the speed question is often of greater
Importance than that of overlooking,
and one Of the large ~speedometer a
ufacturers has hit upon the happy idea
Of combining the indicator of speed
with an arrangement that will prevent
the driver from going faster than the
device has been set for.
The device consists Of a patent lock.
which can be set at any desired speed
from zero to sixty miles an hour.
When the indicated speed is reached
by the s%peedometer hand al electric
contact is established which energies
a magnet contained in a small box
through which the rod from the car
buretor throttle passes. This rod is
split within the case, and n end
passes freely in a sleeve fitting tightly
ove the other end of the rod. Nor.
mally connection between the two is
made by a pin that passes through an
opening in the sleeve and free end Of
the rod. The closing of the electric
contact when the speed limit is reach
ed lifts this pin out of engagement and
breaks the connection between the rod
and the sleeve. The throttle thereupon
closes slowly Of its W weight, and
no amount Of manipulation Of hand or
foot control will be communicated to
the carburetor. When the car has
fallen below the speed limit. however.
the speedometer contact is released,
the magnet permits the pin to fall
back into its place. and the throttle
rod Is continuous once more.

MELODY DEAFNESS.
To Those Who Are Afflicted With Il
Music 10 Simply Noise.

To Those Who Arc Afflicted With Il
Music 10 Simply Noise.
Every one has heard Of color blind
ness, but few people are aware that
there is such a malady as tune deaf
ness. It prevents those affected from
approaching music, which to the melo-
dy deaf is nothing but noise.
The most intelligent people often suf-
fer in this way. Empress Catherine
of Russia used to declare that for her
music was q nerve trying din, and Ma
poleon I. hated any form of melody.
Victor Hugo had to be coaxed by the
composer who put his famous lines to
music. "Are not my verses" he used
to say, sufficiently harmonious to
stand without the assistance of disa-
greeable noises?"
Doctors say that the power to appre-
clate music depends upon a perfect
combination Of the nerves and brain.
Some peoples nerves readily carry mu-
steal sounds to the mind, while in 9TH
ers nerves impede their passage to the
brain cells.
Good musicians are more often born
than made. Nature has provided them
with nerves which instinctively carry
musical chords to the brain. That is
why a good musician can memorize a
tune after hearing it played over once.
Every note has been clearly recorded
in his brain.
Those with less sensitive musical
nerves receive a dull impression Of any
music they may hear, and thus they
are unable to remember it unless it is
drummsd into their brain by repeated
playing.-Pearson's Weekly.

RESTORING Faded Writing.

To restore faded or effaced ink writ
ing in old manuscripts moisten the
writing with freshly made ''sulpho-hy-
drate Of ammonia" (SH. NH). and in
a few moments the letters become
plainly visible. A fresh solution in
water is colorless. but turns yellow
quickly when exposed to air. The sur
plus chemical is removed by washing
with cold water, and the paper is then
dried by slight heating OF with blotting
paper. If the writing again fades after
this treatment a tannin solution should
lie applied. This process is only useful
for restoring ink made with gallic acid.

Securing ceIluIoid to Wood.


The best method is to scrape the
wood and celluloid clean and then heat
some grain alcohol to the boiling point,
As alcohol boils at a relative low tenn
p%erature and is very in1ammable. it
should be held at a considerable dis
lance from the source of heat. When
the alcohol has been warmed to the
desired point it is applied to the under
side Of the celluloid with a small brush.
The celluloid is then pressed down on
the wooden strip to which it is to be
secured and held tightly in place for
about two minutes. 1t is said that
nothing except fire will ever make the
celluloid come of. The same method
may be used for sticking celluloid to
celluloid, celluloid to hard rubber and
celluloid to glass.
