LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 14.-Cash
registers rang today in Louisville dis

effect. Whisky openly was sold, with

POLISH UP OLD BRASS
RAIL IN CHICAGO SALOONS

CHICAGO. Nov. 14.-So certain
were the Chicago saloonkeepers to-
day that Federal Judges Carpenter
and Fitzhenry would decide against
the Volstead prohibition enforcement
act that they were arranging for de-
livery of liquor stocks. Among IL
quor men 1t was hoped that bars
would be selling liquor as of old by
tomorrow.
District Attorney Clyne issued a
warning that should the liquor inter-
ests be successful in the suit, profit
eering in whisky would be prevented.
He also declared that accepting orders
for delivery of liquor, conditioned on
the issuance of an injunction, pre-
venting the Government from enforc-
ing prohibition, was illegal.

Evolution In PARTRIDGE.

A curious example Of the effects Of
environment and changed conditions
Of life upon the forms Of animals Is
furnished by a species Of partridge
that lives in the Canary islands. More
than four hundred years ago. says the
Los Angeles Times, the Spaniards
brought the red-legged partridge from
Europe to those islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but.
as recent examination proves, 1t has
undergone changes clearly brought
about by the conditions under which 1t
lives.
Its back has turned from russell to
gray. That, apparently, is protective
coloring, since the bird passes its life
among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become one-fourth long
er and thicker than that of its ances-
tors and Of Its European relatives, and
its legs aSo have increased n length
and grown stouter.
Those changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit 1t to the life that
It is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountainsides of the
islands, where It needs a stronger ply
steal development than 1t needed in its
former home.

Geographically, the United States OF
North America and the United States
OF Brazil are somewhat alike. But the
main river system of Brazil runs from
west to east, the tributaries OF the
mighty Amazon spreading out like
fan in such wise as to facilitate water
communication with the most distant
parts of the interior, and to make the
coast cities outlets for the products
Of regions reaching back to the foot
hills Of the Andes.
It is a country Of the future-a ter
ritory almost virgin, indescribably rich
and susceptible of wonderful devel-
opment. Nowhere else does the coffee
tree bear SO bountifully, producing
four times the weight Of fruit yielded
by the plant in Mexico. Cotton ano
sugar cane grow like weeds. Rubber
and the chocolate bean are already ex-
ported in vast quantities. Fruits are
OF almost infinite variety. A catalogue
has been compiled Of $4,000 species
OF wood (some Of them the most beau
tiful in the world) found in the valley
Of the Amazon alone.

OBSERVING EARTH's SHADOW
Possibly Not All Are Aware q condi-
lions Under Which lt 10 =
Plainly Visible.

Everybody is familiar with the
shadow Of the earth as 1t appears when
the moon is eclipsed, but not many
know that they can see the shadow at
less rare intervals much nearer home.
All that Is necessary is clear sky
at sunrise or sunset, for then the
shadow falls upon the dust Of our at
mosphere In q most noticeable and
striking manner.
II you look eastward as the sun
sinks behind the western horizon, a
broad band Of red seems to appear op-
posite the sun. 1t merges into yellow
glow above, and that in turn blends
into the blue Of the zenith. A. che red
band rises. the under side u 1t fades
into a dull slate gray, the umbra OF
the shadow. The observation obtained
from q position that gives clear
sweep of the horizon discloses the
form OF the shadow band as an arch,
the crest of which is directly opposite
the sun. The more depressed the sun
is beneath the horizon, the higher the
arch towers toward the zenith. As 1t
rises 1t becomes less perceptible. until
the red band that borders it on top
spreads overhead in q rather weak
glow.

cost of $5OOO.O 600. From an engineer
ing standpNint this project is one Of
the most Interesting which the govern

pal structure is the earthen dam. This
dixie, which closes the lowest depres-
sion in the rim Of a natural basin. II
600 feet long, 20 feet wide on top and
Is feet high in the highest place. The
inside face Of this structure, which
has q slope of one to two. is protected
from wind and wave action by two
feet Of screen gravel, on which are
placed concrete blocks each 4 by o
feet thick. The cubical contents OF
this dixie are 100000 feet, or about
half Of the famous pyramids OF
Cheops in Egypt. The reservoir ere
ated by this dam covers about sou
acres and will be the largest lake In

EMPLOYING OLD WINDMILLs
Days Of Long Ago, to Grind
the Golden Grain.

The windmills Of Cape Cod are
coming into their own again. Some
Of the mills, which closely resemble
those Of Holland, were built more
than $50 years ago. At that time they
were used to grind grain, and 1t is the
high price Of grain that brings them
to a new life.
In the early '1o's the mills did their
duty in pumping salt water from the
sea up into large watts, where the salt
was scraped from the boards after the
water evaporated. Not long after q
new process Of making salt was dis
covered and the salt industry Of Cape
Cod declined.
Some Of the mills were demolished.
Some were left standing and within
recent years many have been pur.
