HOPI DANCE IF
 SNAKES DATED

The annual Hopi or Moki snake dance is a sort of movable festival and the time of holding it always a little uncertain until just before the dance begins. There are several of these snake dances and people come from all parts of the United States to see them They take place nowhere else in the world outside Of Arizona.
 The great dance is held on what is called the First Mesa, and a message to The Republican yesterday from Keam's Canon stated that the dance there would be on August 23.
 The Indians long since began gath ering up the rattlesnakes for this oc- casion and the sacred officials have also been busily preparing themselves against the bites which are certain to be inflicted by the worshipped but tortured snakes.
 Regardless of any previous an- nouncement that may have been made regarding the date of this dance, Aug ust 2 was officially announced last Tuesday as the beginning of the fes- tivities.

seventy-three prisoners. The jails be-
ing unspeakable at that time, these
prisoners were parked out in a clean,
rooted over corral, where Of course
they were regularly fed. A few days
after the collection was put into the
corral the captain Of marines asked
his sergeant to go in and make care
full count of the prisoners, as he feared
some of them might have escaped. The
sergeant counted over his haul three
times. "Well," said the captain, fare

Money In the Idea.

There is money in maintenance"
the Electrical Merchandising Magazine
points out. Large hotels do not buy
glassware; they contract with a glass
concern which keeps them stocked at
so much per month regardless Of the
amount Of breakage. Taxicab compa-
MES In the big cities do not buy tires;
they contract with tire dealer to keep
their cars equipped at set price per
car per year, regardless of punctures
and blowouts. Now comes the story of
an electrical contractor who is profit
ing by keeping the electric equipment
of his customers In order on a monthly
maintenance basis.
1.-THE idea Is not new. The glass man
borrowed it from somewhere; the taxi
tire man borrowed it from him, and so
1t goes. Originality is almost an I'M
known thing. A clever business man
Is simply one who adapts borrowed
ideas successfully-and who does 1t
first In his locality"

A DAYLIGHT Saving Scheme.

Instead of setting clocks an hour for
ward In spring and an hour backward
in fall, Professor Lecorbun suggests to
the French Academy Of Sciences a
simple method of making the change
gradually and with the seasons. This
consists Of altering slightly the length
Of the pendulums Of clocks at the win
ter and summer solstices, 30 that be-
ginning with Dec. 81 they would gain
thirty seconds a day, and beginning
with June q would lose thirty seconds
q day.
The effect Of this would be that by
March Fl they would be forty-f1ve min
utes ahead and by June 81 they would
be an hour and thirty minutes ahead.
After which the pendulums would be
changed, and the clocks would lose at
the same speed.
Under such an arrangement we
should have to set our watches for
ward or backward half a minute every
night
