Say" said the performer, we're at the Blank theater this week and we're knocking 'em dead. You ought to get down and see us" ''I was there Tuesday night replied the newspaper man. By the way" said the performer quickly, there was one night We didn't go very well. l was sick. Let's see. l think 1t was Tues day. Yes, that's right-it was Tues day. Sorry you picked that night.

The Budget System.

The budget system is not system or form of government, but mode of pro- cedure in certain matters. Primarily a budget is a bag or sack with its con- tents, which may be anything from gar den truck or cooked food to official documents. In England, where the word acquired its political or govern ment term it means the annual finan- cial statement or the facts and figures which the chancellor of the exchequer makes in the house of commons, sitting as a committee of ways and means. The term has never been much used in this country but it is sometimes ap- piled to the estimate of government receipts and expenditures submitted in the annual report of the secretary of the treasury as basis for appropri- ations to be made by the congress. Briefly, the budget system or na' tional budget may be defined as the financial statement of the government for the next fiscal year, showing in detail the services and expected amount of revenue, and an itemiZed estimate of expenditures in the differ ent departments of government to be covered by appropriations not to be oyerrun.

WHALER'S GLORY HAS GONE
Industry Which Was Once the Great est in America Has Been Decln-
 ing for Fifty Years.

At the outbreak of the American Revolution and for a period of 70 years following, whaling was the most important branch of American fisher ies. From 300 to TOO vessels sought whales in all the oceans and seas of the world, and in one year New Bed ford alone sent out 300 vessels whose cargoes of bone and oil were the basis of the industrial life of the city.
 The pursuit of sperm whales reached its climax in 1887, when oil valued at nearly S4,500000 was brought in, mostly from the south Pacific, says the National Geographic Magazine. The height of the industry was in 1S46, when 10000 persons derived their sup port from whales, and 720 vessels, valued at S21. 100000, were engaged.
 For more than 90 years the fishery has been declining, and ill numerous ports that once derived most of their wealth from the industry there have for long time existed only memories of former greatness. The present im- portance of the whale fishery amounts to less than per cent of tie American fisheries.

Luminous Paints.

Luminous paints for varied uses have been brought into increased de- mand by the war, and the best results have been obtained from those con- sisting essentially of prepared zine sulphide with small percentage of radioactive material. To determine the brightness and life of different mixtures, elaborate tests have been made at the British National Physical Laboratory. It is found that increas- ing the radium adds to the brightness, but also increases the cost and the rate of decay, the differences in brightness and decay becoming much less after a few months. Keeping cost in mind, it Is concluded that the most satis- factory paint has one part of radium to about 5,000 of zinc sulphide.

They are not mere bands about the waist, but are so cut and placed as to give graceful definition of the waisf1ine The business of supporting the skirt is not theirs, but Is taken care of by webbing belt on the under side, which fastens with hooks and eyes.

HAS MEMENTO OF LAFAYETTE
Spokane Woman Possesses Pitcher Made Nearly Century Ago When
 French Visited This Country.

A memento of the second visit of Lafayette to America after the close of the Revolutionary war is the pos session of Mrs. Alfred T. Anderson, wife of County Auditor Anderson of Spokane, and a descendant of CO., lonial family in whose home General Washington was guest many times during the war, according to the Spo- kane Chronicle.
 It is blue and white water pitch CT, bearing a picture of Lafayette and decorated with American eagles and other patriotic emblems.
 During the revolution, General Washington and his staff were enter tained at the home of Mrs. Anderson's great-grandfather near Trenton, N. J., several times," said Mr. Anderson. "On one of these occasions it is relat- ed that the general was presented with two pigs, which he placed in one of his wagons and took to camp.
 ."The visit of Lafayette to America, of which the pitcher is q relic, was made in 1924, on invitation of Presi- dent Monroe, when the French mar shal laid the cornerstone of the Bun ker Hill monument. He had paid an earlier visit to America in 17S4.
 Between his two visits he had par ticipated in the French revolution, had been made commander of the National Guard and had been made prisoner by Austria when he fled the country. Napoleon had secured his release in 179S and wanted to make him a peer of France. but this he refused and ac- cepted instead seat in the chamber of deputies.
 ''It was as a hero of two continents that he was hailed upon his second visit to America, and Mrs. Anderson prizes very highly the quaint blue pitcher which has come down to her from that time."

To Measure Clouds.

The Comb nephonscope is device for measuring the speed of clouds. It consists of an upright brass rod about nine feet long. bearing at it's upper end crosspiece to which number of equidistant vertical spikes are at tached The observer turns to the erossPiece until the cloud appears to travel along the line of spikes, and notes the time 1t takes to pass from spike to spike. This forms a basis from which he reekons the speed.
