Need Contrast In Beauty.

An essential prerequisite to all
beauty is contrast To obtain artistic
effect light must be put in juxtaposi-
ton with shade, bright colors with
duh, fretted surface with a plain
one. Forte passages in music must
have piano passages to relieve them;
concerted pieces need interspersing
with solos, and rich chords must not
be continuously repeated This gen.
eral principle, will, think, explain
the transformation OF the bygone use
full into the present beautiful. Il is
by virtue Of their contrast with our
present modes of life that past modes
of life look interesting and romantic.

squeaky Shoes Once Prlzed.

While conducting a research for in.
formation on the origin Of certain
fashions of the past l discovered the
reason for the existence of the squeak
in shoes.
The squeak was once deemed fash.
ionable, and men of great importance
in the affairs of the country demanded
1t in their footwear, and cobblers were
paid two shillings extra for putting it
in. The squeaky boot denoted the ap.
proach of someone of importance, and
the way was made clear at once in the
same manner as a bicycles shrill
whistle warns you to look to your
interests.
During the squeaky period men
found it difficult to sneak into the
house after twelve midnight without
being discovered and disgraced Re
moving the shoes before entering the
home is an invention which followed
the squeaky shoes era, and while the
former is now almost obsolete, the lat
ter is still in vogue and as popular
as ever with married men!-"Zim" in

And yet, in spite of al the signs Of
an acquittal, which had been sensed
in court from the opening Of the sec

face of the prisoner turn from green
to gray as the foreman pronounced
the words. Then CHASTITY smile came
over Symonds' face, and he stepped
down, a free man.
The jury crowded about him, to go
through the farce Of shaking hands.
Il congratulate you, SIR said each
man, with beaming smirk of self
congratulation upon his perspicacity.
They gathered round him in an avid
cluster till Symonds' counsel pulled
him away.

he said.
The two men shook hands. II was
convinced of your innocence from
the first, Mr.. Symonds," said Lyons.
And so brought to bear what little
influence l possess. hope, in return,
that you will let US have an article
on the trial and personal history.
But you must thank Miss Lesson,
whose articles did more for you than
you perhaps realize now"
He pulled Miss Mary by the sleeve.
and the girl and Symonds stood face
to face. The mans eyes fixed them
selves upon hers in terrified glare.
Then there was a sensation in the
courtroom. Symonds dropped to the
floor in a dead faint.
And, looking at Mary Lessons ex-
preston, knew where the missing
girl was, knew that the undying
hatred pictured there was to burn
itself into Symond's brain for ever.

of running from left to right, as in
the case of the ordinary timepiece,
Mr.. Foley's watch sends its hands

When the girl opened her eyes she

But suddenly she saw Lefty before

Portents Of Dreams.

When one dreams of being naked
and cold he is threatened with pow
erty; either that or he is out from un-
der the covers. 1t is good sign to
dream Of giving or receiving kisses,
meaning friendship, good health and
earthly prosperity. No one could wish
for better dream than to see the
rising sun. clear moon or bright
stars, for they all denote riches, joy
and good news. But beware of wan
ing moon, clouded sun or a pale
star. A rainbow means early news of
pleasant nature and probably Jour-
ney. A young man who dreams Of
snow is due very shortly for wedding
bells. Dreams CT thunder and light
ming mean all sorts Of good luck.

Stars Numbered by Millions.

The number of stars visible in the

stated. A few years ago an estimate
Of 125,OOO,OOO was current. According
to a recent estimate by Chapman and
Melotte there are about 219,OOO,OO0
stars brighter than the twentieth mag
nitude. Professor Hale has recently
stated that there is reason to hope
that 1OO-inch telescope would add
nearly 100,OO00OO still fainter stars,

FIND BY-PR0DUcT OF VALUE
Chemists Are Now Extracting Wax
From the Refuse From Process
of Sugar Refining.


More and more of the residues of in
dustrial processes that used to be
thrown away are being found to con-
tain some useful substance. In some
cases the value Of what was originally
considered "by-product" has come to
exceed that of the primary product It.
self. The residues of sugar refining
have been discovered to contain valu-
able waxy substance in sufficient guam
titles to warrant its extraction on a
commercial scale.
When a section of sugar cane is ex-
amined under the microscope it is seen
that from the epidermis exude little
protuberances, straight or curved
and disposed perpendicularly to the
surface. These are made of wax, which,
with other waxy substances contained
in other parts of the plant, passes into
the juice in the process of its extrac-
ton.
The lime used in almost all refneries
carries them away in the refuse of the
precipitation process, from which the
idea of rescuing them was not long
ago preached.
For this purpose the Shiny residue
is placed in a receptacle, where it I'M
dergoes fermentation which destroys
the fatty matters without attacking
the wax. The substance is then dried
in the sun and afterward in current
of warm air or in furnace. The dry
product is crushed and treated with
benzine or carbon disulphid. The wax
thus obtained is then refined by being
extracted anew with petroleum es-
sence, and then by filtration through
clay or animal black. The residue of
this extraction may be utilized as a
lubricant or treated to obtain the sugar
which it still contains.
Cane wax thus obtained is white or
pale yellow. 1t much resembles in ap-
pearance Carnauba wax, as also in its
hardness and high melting point. The
dried Shiny residue contains ten to
twelve per cent of it-a sufficiently
large proportion to justify the indus
trial treatment of these residues.

Fl Paso Uses Goat MIX.

Ell Paso, Tex, has one Of the most
interesting milk supplies of any city,

number of goat diaries. one of which
has thousand goats. These goats get
their living from the surrounding hot,
dry territory. deficient in grass and
only moderately covered with sage
brush and cactus. A COW would starve
to death, but the goats, though fed
neither hay nor grain, give on an aver
age about a quart each. The milk
brings the same price as cows milk,
and is sold both in bottles and in
bulk.

UNLOADING TIRES FOR MISSOURI VALLEY MOTOR CO.

most important things to be taken
into consideration with an automo-
bile is proper fabrication. There are
varied number OF automobiles with
varied types of construction ana a
thoughtful owner will admit that II
is quite impossible to secure the best
results from his motor if the same is
not properly fabricated. and that pro-
per fabrication cannot be secured for
these varied conditions with one
grade Of oil.
The Vacuum Oil company, who are
the makers of Mobiloils, has an army
of engineers who constantly examine
every new motor that is placed on
the market, and from exhaustive
tests and mechanical figures, deter

supply fully the requirements OF auto
mobile dealers and automobile users.
This company recently purchased a
