scientific experimentation is the blow ing of a soap bubble that will last a whole year before breaking. Appar- ently that is achieving the height of useless effort but Professor J. DeWar of London expects to prove good many things by this curious method. In a recent address before the Royal Institution he exhibited number of small soap bubbles that were twelve months old. He also showed bubbles more than half a yard in diameter which had grown up to the hoary age of six months. These bubbles were contained in glass containers that had been pumped free of air. thus creating a vacuum for the bubbles to rest in
 Professor Dewar said that it was necessary to obtain air free of dust to make a soap bubble that would endure for more than a few seconds. To do this he developed several appliances that take all the dust cut Of limited air space, and it was by the use of this this air thar his ma srvelous soap bub- bles were blown. But further effort was necessary to preserve these bub- bles. It was found that the few drops of water which always gather at the bottom of bubble were fatal to their attaining respectable age. So the professor applied little tubes to the bottom of the bubbles, much like a soda water straw, and drew the water off As a task for patience this is rec commended to the impatient
 The remarkable soap bubbles of this educator are preserved in glass ves- sels having a little water in the bot tom The temperature of these vessels is maintained at about 50 degrees Fah-
 renheit. Several years were taken up by Professor Dewar in finding out all about the soap bubble, and he is now
 with atmospheric changes.

 Here is the propositions: We have promised to grub stake the allies. We said: You need not farm-you fight.

LABOR BATTALION
 TIDES WAR FIELD
(London Mail)

The British advance has been suc- nessful. Our troops have gained their objectives. Between their old trenches and their new ones is stretch of land snarred with shell holes and laden with all the debris of war-this land which once was No Mans Land and is now a hideous waste.
 Our eyes still follow the advancing troops, but what is going on behind
 Vvh"t force is at work to make the next advance possible? Think for a moment-perhaps you never thought much about it before-and this is the answer:-"The Labor Battalions"
 The Labor Battalians-a new feature in this or any other war. Close behind the infantry, they bring order into torn desolation.
 They it is who tidy up behind the man whose business is destruction, strengthening out so that the destroy CTS may be fed. They clear away torn wire, tear down barricades bury dead, build camps for their comrades. For
 yer they are working.
 The adjutant is an engineer, spe- cialist in dock caissons. The captain commanding No 1 company was at E,tOn and later practiced as a barrister in Hong Kong.
 No. ? companys commander is a working glass painter; his lieutenant. a well l-known big game shot who has travelled the wide world over in search Of sport from Tibet to Lake Bangweolo and the Northern Rockies is wealthy land owner and an amateur of me- dieval armor and enamels, No. company obeys novelist whose lieutenant was a builders fore
 nan. and the captain of No. 1, who began life as a plowboy, has for his :, lieutenant a builder from the villase | of Petworth in Sussex-this same , builder having distinguished himself l in the hell of Trones wood by sending 1 back half hourly reports in a fair l round hand throughout a day and night of deaths and horrors, keeping carbon l copies of each report as coollv as l though he was tallying loads Of brick 1 from out of his builders yard. i At the orders and under the direc- l ton of such officers and sergeants work like mixed medley Of lame and gray headed men.

HE TRUE AMERICAN
 ALTHOUGH CRIPPLE

TEMPE. Oct. 29.-In the little nook between the Howand barber shop and the express office in Tempe is to- bacco and cigar stand with boot black stand just on the edge of the walk, and of the many, many Tempe people who have passed that way few have imagined that the young man. John Salazar, who runs the stand is one of the real patriots of today.
 When John was about ten years old he was run over by a train, losing both lower limbs close to the body. For years, after he was old enough to earn little. John skimped in every way ito buy, as he said, some legs" Finally he had saved almost enough, and by the aid of some of the Tempe citizens who realized the sterling qualities of the boy, he was enabled to go to Los Angeles where he could be fitted to some artificial limbs which he uses deXteriously.
 That was some three or four years ago, but in the interval, while John | was hoarding in every way possible to l buy the coveted limbs his mother died leaving two small brothers with him as their sole support. Again fate seemed

press rolls which squeeze out the sur plus water. Thus the felt is formed. Successive press rolls strengthen and carry the felt to the dryers
 The huge steam heated cylinders dry all moisture from the felt. A blend of asphalts and asphalt oils forms satu- rating compound which makes the felt water proof.

 The General Roofing Manufacturing company of which the Certain teed Products corporation is the parent con- cern, has enjoyed most remarkable career. Organized in 1904 with cap ! ita ization of s20.000, it was the small est of about forty-five manufacturers of prepared roofing in this country and Canada. Yet it was lusty infant as 1t grew in leaps and bounds and in ten years time it was by far the larg- 1 est. In the year 1914 the General 1 Roofing Manufacturing company. ac- l cording to the official statistics of the 1 Felt Manufacturers association at Chi 0cago. made and sold 32 7-10 per cent of the prepared roofing and building pa per manufa ctured in the United States anu odiis'u 'ud- ieSe figures were gwen out on December 15 and did not in elrde the last sixteen days of 1914. .'ohn O'Ma!ley of the O'Malley Lum-

TWIN PEAK TUNNEL
 LONGEST IN WORLD
(San Francisco Chronicle)

(San Francisco ChrOnlcle)
 The Twin Peaks tunnel near San Francisco, the longest municipal tun- nel in the world, as well as the longest to be used exclusively for street car traffic, has been bored through.
 in the forenoon the two gangs-close to the end of three years labor and each ! mile from dayhgni-could hear each others drills. When the morning shift went to work only ten feet of rock separated the cast and west sides.
 At 1:30 D. m. the shots fired by the east side crew brought the cool ocean breeze from the west into the heated air of the east side.
 'Holed through" came the drillers cry, which is heard every time tun- mel is connected.
 Excitement reigned. From Muir and Storrie down to the youngest mucker every man in the big bore was jubilant as the crucial hour in the $4,000,000 jol arrived.
 My father acted like a kid" re- marked young Bob Muir, himself one of the big bosses on the big job.
 Sam Campbell, one of the drillers was first to crawl through the marrow opening, which will soon be widened- big enough for two municipal trolley cars Everyone on the job wanted t go through-and most of them did.
 To the lay mind, Criving two hole under a mountain from different side and having them meet in the center even roughly seem next to impossible but when they miss by but one-eightl of an inch in alignment and half al inch in grade, as they did yesterday the marvel is multiplied.
 Already it is possible to walk dowl the stairways at the Laguna2 Hond; station, and if you don't mind push ing against damp rocks it is now pos sible to go through the Twin Peak tunnel.
 Before fall it may be possible to rid through in trolley cars The work wa started in November, 1914.3 It is bein completed within the three years con tract time with no extension

MEGASPILAEON IS
 A CAVE MONASTERY

Megaspilaeon. the most important monastery in Greece, is one of the most curious places in the world. It is in the northern port of the Pelopon- nesus, a few miles from the Gulf of Corinth 1t is off the main tourist trail and is not often visited by travellers.
 The front of the great building hides the entrance to a deep cave into which the monastery is built. As this is about half way up a steep cliff it is difficult to get to it, a consideration that undoubtedly had much to do with the choice of the site in the days when law ard order had almost vanished from the earth.
 "The mountains on either side were piles of sheer, fantastic rocks, twisted into grotesque shapes" says Agnes Smith in "Glimpses uI Creek Life and Scenery" Clear sunlight illumined their summits. whilst the lower part was in deep shadow. Below rushed a rapid stream among white stones. Soon the monastery came in sight perched half way up a precipitous cliff It is truly an eagles nest, and, as such has proved itself invulnerable. Ibrahim Pasha's soldiers once tried to conquer it by hurling down stones and trees from the precipice above, but these simply flew over the monastery"
 Tradition ascribes the first monas- tery here as having been built in the fourth century, but not until compar- atively recent times did it achieve al most world wide fame. Through the centuries it's wealth grew and grew fostered by careful investments. until the religious body not only owned tre- 1 mendous tracts of land in all the neigh boring countryside, hut also choice sites in distant sections of Greece, ant even in Smyrna and Constantinople | The yearly rentals paid to the monas- tery were said to amount to nearly l $500 coo.

GETTING READY FUR
 MOTOR CAR TAG RUSH

Preparations are being made in the office of the secretary of state to care for the annual rush to secure motor car license tags, which will come at the opening of the new year. At the close of the office of secretary of state last night the number of motor car licenses issuel this year in Arizona was 19,252.
 Thirty thousand motor car license tags have been ordered for 1918, which tags will be delivered on December 1. They will be of a battleship grey, with king blue letters and figures. This will be an agreeable change from the black and white tags of the present year Also it will be easily noticeable whether the car has d 1918 tag or is carrying an old one

BIG SHELLS PLAY

The explosive force of the big shells used in modern war has produced many curious effects. In some casese these effects have been to deprive men of the power Of speech. in others to re- store 1t. In the same way hearing has been lost and also regained. while sight has been suddenly banished and as suddenly brought back.
 But one of the most astonishing ef- fleets of all was narrated by French captain. It occurred while he was oc- cupying an observation post in a tree. An eight-inch shell happened to ex- piade immediately beneath him, with the result that the displacement of the

 Another soldier described the freak of a shell of which he was the victim. It exploded several yards away from him without doing him any harm. But it blew his overcoat from his back, and when he picked the garment up it was minus all the buttons
 The eccentricity of another shell was sworn to by a trooper, who was cer- tainly a very close observer. He was standing between two horses when the proiectile burst close by killing both animals, but not injuring the trooper in the slightest.
