Why the Baby Cries.

Now we know why the baby cries.
For a long time the cause was yelled
In ebscurity 1t might be an inacces-
sible pin, or 1t might be the helpless
discrepancy betwixt the heavenly king
dom and this world, or 1t might be
plain case of collie, called by what new
tangled term you please. 1t has re-
NAMED for an advertising expert to
discover that the baby cries in order
to advertise. 1t is the baby's effective
announcement In the imperative mood
that he wants to be up and petted or
he wants the moon or he wants some
thing else, and "he won't be happy TILL
he gets it." There is no denying that
for an infant industry the baby's ad-
vertising is a great success. Nearly
every time he gets results, and the
most astute and alert professional so
Icitor cannot show a higher percent,

The Making of Clipped Glass.

Sheets of glass that are covered with
a shell-like raised pattern are In use
for screens, partitions, electric light
fixtures and other purposes. This
Clipped glass, for the pattern is often
really Clipped out of the surface, In
wolves a process that is interesting.
The sheet of glass to be treated Is
placed under a sand blast in order to
give 1t q grain. This ground surface
Is next treated with a solution Of good
glue, and the glass Is placed in a dry
ing room on a rack, where 1t remains
for some hours. Next the sheets OF
glass are removed to the chipping
room. where they are placed on edge
back to back. with the coated surfaces
outward. This room is heated by
steam coils. and when the heat Is turn
ed Oh the glue reaches its utmost de,
gree of desiccation and curls off the
glass In pieces from the size of dime
to that Of a silver dollar, but 1t ad'
heres so closely to the glass that In
its effort to get free it tears a piece
off the surface, the result being q

Clinton, Mo.-Dusty and travel worn,
but with his long strides retaining the

woods life, Clarence Barton trudged
into town after covering 40 miles
from Turner, Mo. He came In the
heat and dust over the miles Of hills
afoot to attend the Missouri confer
ences Of the Seventh Day Adventists.
And this youth has lived a strange
life in the very modern and up to date
state Of Missouri.
In all his eighteen years he never
tasted a mouthful Of meat. Never has
q drink of tea or coffee passed his
lips. His meager fare Of daily food
has never been seasoned with pepper.
He never has tasted a drop Of alcohol
In any form and does not know the

MAN FIGHTS JELLYFISH.
Swimmer Sent to a Hospital After .
Life and Death Struggle.


Life and Death Struggle.
Santa Barbara, Cal.-G. n. Wilson
was sent to the Cottage hospital here
In a critical condition recently. He
had a life and death struggle with a
huge jellyfish. -Four hundred feet from
shore, off Serena, Wilson was sudden
ly attacked.
He saw before him what he later
said looked like huge sheet OF butter
and eggs. Suddenly the strips of yell
low and while began to separate from
the mass and extend toward him. He
turned to swim out Of reach when the
creature threw its tentacles about him,
and the mad fight was on. In the
struggle Wilson broke the mass into
fragments, but reached the shore ex-
hausted and his face and shoulders
singing as though from scalds.
At the hospital 1t was said that the
patient would recover. His pain at
times was so intense that morphine
had to be administered. His shoulders
and face resemble one mass Of poison
oak burns.

at present has a carrying capacity Of
fifteen tons, but plans are ready for an
aeroplane capable Of lifting thirty tons

Five hundred thousand people are pro-

The act. prepared by the Committee of

Dy representative IAnlel j. Snern, OF
Philadelphia sprang into being during the
progress of the reform" wave that swept
over Philadelphia. Conditions then bear
a striking similarity to conditions now
''reformers" complained OF the "contuma-
cious politicians" who we're accused of using
their public offices as a means OF widening
their vote controlling power, and in the
bloody Fifth" Ward the police, 1t was
charged. were clubbing politics into the
heads of refractory voters.
The call for an end TO officeholders in
politics was insistent Mayor Weaver, who
made many public utterances complaining
of the burden Of political bosses" crystal
lized the reform" sentiment in 1905 when
he warned his directors that city employees
taking part in politics would be dismissed
saying
mo man on a public payroll should be
permitted to act as a member Of any poit-
icll committee or convention, or engage In
any form of political activity. with the
casting of his vote his political duties and
activities should end. This Limitation on
the oflcehoding class should be absolute /"
This was the genesis OF the Sherman
act 1t was introduced during the extraor.

aiming particularly at keeping the police
from the polls at elections. 1t was so draS
