BOARD To RAISE
fIREM1ERs PAY

That the board OF supervisors may
increase all the salaries of the fire
men at the meeting this evening was
learned today. At the last meeting
the board voted an increase for the
electric light department and 1t is
likely that other departments will
come in for similar raises as NUM-
Der of the members, including Arnold,
HolIinger and Larsen, served notice
that they would also bring in demands
for salary raises for their respective
departments This has been brought
about to a large extent thTough the
efforts of Civil Service Commissioner
Edward p. Fogarty, who worked untir-
ingly for it.
That these raises are deserved, des-
.pite the $S9.000 deficit, is admitted by
everyone and the action is in accord
with public opinion.
Another matter due to have far
reaching effect which will come up
this evening is a resolution appropri-
ating $1,000 for the installation of side
walks on King and Kalakaua in front
of the Ii and Booth estates. Both
these estates have announced that
they will not pay the assessments. As
soon as the sidewalks are in suit is
to be brought and If the city wins it
will set precedent for the installing
of other sidewalks.

Animals In Fire.

Most animals are afraid Of fire and
will flee from it in terror. To others
there is a fascination about q flame,
and they will walk into it even though
tortured by the heat.
A horse In a burning stable goes mad
with fear, but a dog Is as cool In a
fire as at any time. He keeps his nose
down to the floor, where the air is pur-
est, and sets himself calmly to finding
his way out Cats In fire cry piteous-
~. They hide their faces from the
light and crouch in corners. When
their rescuer lifts them they are, as a
rule, quite docile and subdued, never
biting or scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire
and keep perfectly still. Even the 10
quacious parrot In fire has nothing to
say. Cows, like dogs, do not show
alarm. They are easy to lead forth
and often find their way out them
selves.-London Answers.

Matter and Force,

There is no such thing as a loss of
matter or force. The so called "conS
servation" Of matter and its forces waG
demonstrated years ago by Joule and
other scientists. When, for instance
a thing burns up" as we say, the SUI
stances that give out the light ard
neat are changed, not destroyed. The
wood or whatever the substance hcS-
pens to be becomes ashes and gas, AID
Il We could gather up all the products
OF the burning we should find that they
mad not lost a particle Of their weight
and that the form of them only tYas
changed. The eternity of matter was
teaching Of the old Greek phhiso-
pherS, or of some Of them at least.sand
me modern teaching Of the consSrva-
uon or indestructibility of the stiff Of
me universe would seem to corroL brate
ne ancient idea.

Famous Statue of Liberty.

The statue Of Liberty Enlightentng
the World, which stands in New York
harbor, was a gift from France to the
United States. Shortly after the es-
Enlistment Of a republic In France,
In 1870, a movement was started there
In favor Of erecting some kind Of per-
manent memorial Of the fraternal feel
ing between France and the United
States. In 1874 an organization was
formed there called the French-Amer-
lean union, and popular subscription
was begun, which realized very large
sum, many prominent Frenchmen con-
ributing. The statue was done by
Frederic Bartholdi The United States
government set apart an island for its
location, and Americans contributed
money to build it's pedestal, thus max
ing It a distinctly international affair.
It Is Of bronze, Ill feet In height,
weighs 100000 pounds and was un-

Wireless In War

There are several forms Of wireless
suuipment used in warfare, and under
favorable conditions a range Of from
15O to 200 miles is possible with one OF
them. The most portable station"
however, is the cavalry type, which
weighs $40 pounds and is carried about
IN equal proportions by four horses.
It's range is not a wide one. 1t works
over a distance Of from twenty-five to
thirty miles. The engine and dynamo
are mounted on opposite sides Of q
dgid saddle on the first horse, together
with four gallons Of petrol and quart
Of lubricating oil, tools, spare parts and
stelescopic driving shaft. The second
horse carries the transformer-which
Ganges the current to q lighter or
liver voltage-in a wooden case and in
naher wooden case the receiver,
willie the third horse carries the masts,
which In some cases are In sections
and In others are made on a telescope
principle. The fourth horse carries
halyards, stays and the aerial wires,
which are wound round drums and
pack away In a fiber case.-Pearson's
Weekly.

advice of the authorities in such mat
tiers. The stomach and intestines are
oftener involved in disease than any
other organs. The poisons of intestinal
origin are generally derived from a
certain unsuitable article of diet. Of
all such articles of diet the chief Of
fender is meat. The flesh of animals
produces toxine which act upon the
bodily organs as poisons. Nervousness,
headaches, drowsiness, and many other
Affections have been traced to the alb
sorption of toxins that are elaborated
in the body of those who eat the flesh
Of friendly animals. 1t is an inter
esting phenomena that only the meat of
friendly animals appeals to those who
must have meat.
Administration can be avoided by
proper diet for a certainty. 1t can be-
limited by hygienic measures such as
physical exercise, baths, cleanliness
generally and the drinking of a plenty
of water.
Buttermilk and Tactic acid producing
germs, called friendly germs are aids in
producing long and healthy lives. Avoid
meats and thereby avoid autointoxi-
cation.

Throwing Heat Overheard.

On all seagoing steamers the steam
Is condensed by sea water pumped
through the surface condensers. This
circulating water is then discharged
overheard. In the process Of conden-
sation the cooling water taken in at
temperatures varying from 80 degrees
to IS degrees F., according to climatic
and other conditions, Is raised to tenn
peratures varying from 80 to 120 de-
grees and then discharged. This great
loss of heat Is practically unavoidable,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
Even on comparatively small steamers
hundreds Of tons Of heated water are
pumped overheard daily. This constt-
tutes one Of the greatest heat losses in
the operation Of steam machinery, al
though sometimes a portion Of the
warm water is used for scrubbing
decks and for bath water on passenger
ships.

AUToNTox1cATIoN.

By characterization is meant the pro-
duction of injurious products in the in
testines which interfere with health
and shorten physical life. Autointoxi-
cation is in reality what the name i'm
plies. It is self intoxication, self
poisoning by means of improper guam
tity or inferior quality of food.
A great ancient philosopher taught
that oman does not die but that he
kills himself" He meant that man
by his habits destroys his physical
body. Take for instance the habit of
eating enormous quantities of food of
even good quality. Almost all persons
are agreed that such habit long fol
lowed is not productive of long life.
On the other hand take into eonsidera-
ton those who are in the habit of
eating defective foods and we would
not predict for them long life. Healthy
living for those who eat defective
foods is not to be expected.
To live long and to live healthily
the food must be chosen with utmost
care if we are to be guided by the

Bells Not In Favor,

Greek monks are called to prayer In
a fashion Of their own. Bells are not
regarded with too much favor In the
Levant The fact that they are an In
novation borrowed, albeit in the tenth
century, from schismatic Venice makes
the orthodox doubt their appeal, while
the Turks object to them even more
strongly lest they disturb wandering
spirits, says the National Geographic
Magazine. For all ordinary purposes
the monks use in their stead hanging
wooden plank or sometimes a smaller
metal bar Of which the necessary con-
comitant Is q stout mallet.

Even the most sophisticated profess

Antiquity of the Bracelet,

New wearers Of bracelets know that
they were once used to distinguish the
insane. Before lunatics were confined
10 asylums they wore an armlet for
distinction. Bracelets for the arms
sand anklets for the legs-so frequently
mentioned as ornaments in the Bible
are still commonly worn by eastern
married women Of all ranks. They
were looked upon as a capital means Of
investing money, as they could not be
taken for debts Of the husband.

How to Make Them Without Fuckers
or ScaIIops.


How to Make Them Without Fuckers
or Scallops.
Home dressmakers frequently find 1t
difficult to put In the hem Of q wooden
frock smoothly. This can be done with
little trouble by means Of shrinking.
Place q damp cloth over the hem and
press from the lower edge Of the skirt
toward the top. All the extra fullness
can be entirely shrunk out, providing
the hem Is not too wide.
This method does away with small
plaits usually found In hem, the lines
Of which are almost sure to show on
the outside Of the skirt when the hem
Is pressed. "
In finishing the edge Of the hem do
not turn the cloth in. Basic the raw
edge fat to the other part Of the skirt
and over this edge lay a fiat piece Of
seam binding. Sew the edge that does
not go through the right side with silk
or cotton thread, but the top edge
should be sewed with a thread Of the
fabric drawn from a lengthwise piece
Of the material, not crosswise.
Sewing or hemming with thread OF
the material is little secret that even
few dressmakers know Of, and its
practice will give the most satisfac-
tory results. E
This method makes the stitches as
invisible as the weave Of the cloth and
should be used in every part Of the
suit or dress where invisible sewing Is
desired. OF course some fabrics will
not permit Of the raveling Of the
threads, but wherever possible this
method should be tried out.
