BUILDING Hard to Wreck.

Dynamite, oXy-acetylene torches, fire
and wrecking cranes were employed
successfully in razing five tall, thin
walled, reinforced concrete, cement
storage bins, built Is years ago at
South Chicago, says the Engineering
Record. Heavy charges of dynamite
in the supporting columns produced nc
effect. Oxy-acetylene torches were
then employed to cut the steel rails
that reinforced them, the weight being
shifted to wood shores. Even the effect
Of the heat and flames of burning kero.
Sene-soaked supports, roaring up
through the barrels of the tanks, ap.
parently had no disintegrating effect,
as the structure was not wrecked when
it dropped on edge. Wrecking cranes
finished the work, starting at the top
and pulling the tanks apart in chunks,

Effect of Darkness on Gold Fish.

A scientist kept gold fish in roomy
tank and with plenty of food, but in
absolute darkness. He kept it up for
three years, and then observed the
notifications that had occurred in the
fish. The color first became black, but
after the second year it became golden
again, and the reason for this is inter-
esting. In the first instance the dark
pigment cells spread out and covered
the subjacent layer of crystals which
gives the gold fish its golden sheen. In
the second instance the phagocytes de-
voured the dark pigment cells, and thus
re-exposed the golden layer. The
changes in the eye were even more in
teresting. The structure of the eye
was completely altered. The fish be-
came totally blind. The experiment
suggests that an individual fish impris-
oned in a perfectly dark cave would
become blind. But it does not throw
any direct light on the origin of blind
race Of fishes in caves.-New York

RICHNESS OF A cows MILK
Mistake to Expect That 1t Can Be In.
fluenced by Character of Feed
Given to Animal.

It seems reasonable to expect that
the richness of milk could be in
fuenced by the character of the feed
given to the animals. However, it has
been thoroughly proved that for all
practical purposes 1t is impossible.
The richness of the cows milk de-
ponds upon inheritance and can no
more be changed permanently by the
feed than can the color Of her hair.
If the milk cannot be changed in rich
ness by the feed 1t Is clearly impos-
sible for cream to be influenced 10
this way.

Chinese Advancement.

Forty years ago China's first locomo-
tive killed a man who was trespassing
on the track. Promptly the people ex-
ecuted judgment on the little seven
mile road. The rails were torn up.
The locomotive was sold. The road
was no more. Now there are 5000
miles of railroad in China; it is in
prosperous condition and additions are
being made to the mileage every year.
China will yet rival the foremost coun-
tries of Europe in the extent of her
railroads and the profits from them.
The new China gives promise of be-
coming a nation.

PROPERTY MUST
PAY FOR BINDER
ON new STREETS

A policy for the construction of
bound macadam streets was today
adopted by the board of public works
after discussion extending over three
months.
Henceforth the city will construct
macadam streets as it has heretofore,
without a binder and at it's own ex-
pense, then after the improvement
has been completed contract will
be let for the placing of a tarvia bind
er, mixed with washed gravel, on the
surface. The cost of the tarvia sur
face will be assessed against the bene-
fitted property owners.
This cost is inconsequental but the
board does not believe the city should
be called upon to assume it inasmuch
as the city will assume all of the
cost of constructing the roadways.
The city will, however, assume the
cost Of tarvia surfaces for intersec-
ti1s. After each macadam improve
ment is completed the city will in
itiate proceedings for the placing of
a tarvia surface, completing the pro-
ceedings by letting contract for the
work
With the approval of Mayor Rob
bins the board today also decided to
place tarvia surfaces on every
macadam street put down last year by
letting contracts for this work and
assessing the costs against the proper
ty owners. These streets will be thor
oughly cleaned and rolled before such
work Is done.
President Bavis suggested at first
that city meet the expense of tarvia-
izing streets macadamed last year but
Mayor Robbins objected. II think this
expense should be borne by the prop
erty owners. If they have any public
spirit and want a good roadway in
front OF their homes they won't object
to paying small assessment" said
the mayor.
Public spirit appears to be on the
bargain counter" replied the board
president, but he agreed to the
mayors suggestion.

That many school children are be-

a startling fact, brought to light by
recent investigation by school authori-
ties. Hastily snatched meals so that
there will be more time to play, the
use of ready-to-eat cereals, and the
general neglect of the call of nature
are given as principal causes.
