the putrefactiye germs set in and

Only Person Utterly Lost Could Have
Thought Up Such Mean
Trick as This.

A rather facetiOus young man was
seated in one Of the corridor cOmpart-
ments of the London Northwestern
Irish Mail from EustOn to HOlyhead.
He noticed there was fair sprinkling
Of young ladies accompanied by young
lovers, and thought the approaching
tunnel offered some fun, so he loudly
announced:
",rhis tunnel is about two miles long,
and the train will be about eight min
utes passing through"
To the surprise of all the train
dashed into daylight again in about 20
seconds, and the scene in the car was
one for painter Seven young ladies'
were closely pressed by seven pairs of
masculine arms, i pairs of lips were
glued together, and two dozen inyert-
ed whisky TASKS flashed in the air.

dogs carry dispatches between COM

Of hearing enables them to detect

in many places in Europe is a working

WATCH STOPS SHOT
ln . Man's Hip Pocket, Acts as Armos
 Against Rear Fire.

While at work on a lawn at Fort Augusta, Pa. c. F. Boyer of Sunbury transferred his big silver watch from his vest to his hip pocket, and to this he attributes a possible escape from death.
 A few minutes later he wanted to see what time it was, and found the timepiece stopped the hands broken of and a big dent in the back. A high power rife bullet was also In his pocket, and hole fin the cloth told how 1t went In.
 Boyer says he felt no shock and heard no sound, but as the bullet fits the dent in his watch there appears to be no doubt that 1t was a stray shot from a rife. The river is in full view of where he worked. and a per son standing across the stream mA,ht have fired it. The police chief, who is an old Twenty-eighth division man, says 1t is not from an army rife.

At this time when there is increas- ing popular concern about the high and prospectiyely higher price of shoes, 1t is pertinent to direct atten- tion to the fact that there should be no actual shortage of leather. While the war has interrupted and increased the cost of transportation of hldes from South America, thereby enhanc- ing the value of one kind of leather, 1t has been responsible for the crea. tion of another kind of leather, leather from shark and other fish skins. Through the efforts of experts under the direction of the United States bu. reau of fisheries an important and en- tirely new industry has been estab. liShed

Experiments Succeed.

Experiments having been made to determine whether serviceable leather could be made from the skins of fish, Lewis Radcliffe of the fishing indus. tries division of the bureau applied himself to the task of overcoming the difficulties encountered. Unsatisfac- tory attempts had been made at tan. ming, so scientific metiicds had to be brought to bear on the problem. An effective process of tanning was dis. covered and the next step was to SC cure a supply of skins and put 1t 1T operation. A special net was devised by the bureau, 600 yards long, IS feet deep, finch mesh The top and bot. tim are lined with half-inch No. 1s thread rope, weighted with suitable leads below, buoyed by corks above With one of these nets 2,OOO big sharks were caught in ten days.
 Fishing stations were established al MoOrehead City, N. O., Fort Myers Fla. and Edmunds, Puget sound. A New York company has tannery in Newark, while the bureau of fisheries has wonderful exhibition of fish leather in one of the rooms of its Washington building. There are tc be seen tables of shoes, black and tar colored travelling bags, suit cases, mu. sic rolls, card cases, pocketbooks and novelties of various shades, plain, em. bossed and grained, that are a delight to the eye and without offense to the nose. although every one of them Is made from a fish skin. Near by are sheets of leather, soft and beautifully tanned, that once had covered that useless fish, the shark, or a porpoise or a devilf1Sh.
 Superior Grade of Leather. None but an expert would say they were not samples of superior grades of leather made from the hides of ani mals such as are commonly used in the trade. One likes to feel them and wonders at their pliability and theii varied shades-gun metal, tan, terra cotta. red, blue, gray and brown. to those that seem like watered silk. The finish is superb.
 Uses for all parts of the shark have developed. The hides are made into leather. liver oil Is obtained and sells at the plant. unrefned, for 30 cents to $1.10 gallon. and the flesh and waste Is turned into fish scrap to be used in fertilizer. Fish meat, valu- able animal food. also Is by-product Shark meat for human consumption is sold and demand for it is increas- ing. Large quantities are reported in storage in northern cities. especially in New York and New England, where its popularity is most marked.

CITY DELIVERY BADLY NEEDED.

Without the least detrimental comment on the local postoffice. it is evident that the work of that office has grown so rapidly that it is inn possible to handle all the work by any force the government is willing to furnish.
 There is only one solution and that is free city delivery. In this way people may be able to get proper service and not be compelled to wait in line by the hour for service while the clerks are doing their best to handle the free de livery money orders, registered letters and dis tributing incoming mails and send out the ac- cumulating mails.
 The free delivery would cut the work at the postoffice about one-half, aside from the fact that mail would be delivered at the homes and business houses-a, service that nearly every farm house. and town has back east where the peoples interests" are carefully looked after by the proper political officials.
 Several years ago Flagstaff could have had a free city delivery, but there were wheels with in wheels and it was easiest to say that "the streets were not in proper condition Excuses are mighty easy to find when the proper in fluence is behind them--and vice versa.
 If the people of Flagstaff demand such ser vice, and Lord knows they need something to re lieve the present congested condition, free de- livery will be forthcoming, regardless of wheels.

WANT BRASS TACKS.

It may not be possible for Governor Camp bell to remedy all the Shocking and preposter- ous condition in state institutions" but it be- hooves Governor Campbell to show in black and white to the people just what has taken place and put the matter directly up to the people with possible remedy for the condition. We believe thoroughly in Governor Campbell's avowed policy of efficiency and the business of the state should be carried out along that line, with full exposition of the facts as they are found so the people may know what has been done in the past and what is being done to cor rect the evil There is no reason why any bunch, faction, or political party should hide be- hind any report or camouflaged statement. The people wanted to get out in the open and find out where they stood and they elected Governor Campbell for that purpose. The people are pay ing the freight and they want to know what sta tion it is going to be put off at. The people have awakened to the fact that efficiency" is only relatively valuable commodity. General Eff ciency is an old man who has beaten the game until he has proven to the whole people that he was right.
