EXPERIMENTS IN DEEP MINE
Rocks Spilled in Shaft Fail TO Hit
Bottom, Mile Below.

Instructors at the Michigan College
Of Mines have been conducting inter
esting experiments in the deep shafts
of the copper mines of the Calumet
region. 1t had been noticed that In the
shafts at. the Tamarack mine, II some
ore or rock were spilled near the sur.
face, men working in the bottom OF
the shaft a mile below were not much
bothered and sometimes only observed
"a little dust" 1t is even stated that
a car Of broken rock could be dumped
into the shaft without injury to men
directly beneath, a mile down. The
reason is that the rock would not fall
straight in the vertical shaft, but would
lodge in the sides of the timbers which
protrude few inches at intervals.
In the experiments, two metal balls
were dropped into the center OF the
shaft and an attempt was made to
catch them in a box Of clay at the
bottom. One ball was never found,
the other landed in the east wall OF
the shaft, only a few hundred feet be-
low the surface. II is explained that
the earth, revolving from west to east,
kept Che ball from falling straight
down in the hole.

TO DO AN IMPOSSIBLE" TRICK
Drink a Covered Glass of Water With.
out uncoverin0 II

This Is simple trick which can be
performed with little apparatus. You
announce that you can place glass OF
water upon the table, cover it with q
hat and then drink the water without
removing the hat. This sounds like
an impossible trick, and everyone is
eager to see it performed.
1t is done this way. You stand
glass of water on an ordinary table,
borrow hat and place 1t over the
glass. While doing this you talk and
emphasize the wonder Of the trick and
say that on no account must anyone
touch the hat.
Then you go under the table and
make pretense of drinking the water
through the table. Everyone Is, of
course, skeptical, and, after coming
from under the table you ash one OF
the audience to remove the hat to see
II the water has been drunk or not As
soon as this is done. you seize the glass
and drink the water and then an.
nounce to your surprised audience that
you have done what you promised to
do-namely, to drink the water with
out removing the hat, someone else
having removed the hat for you.

CHAPTER III.
Success and Afterwards.

Eta Romney sat in her little dress
ing-room when the play was over, so
very tired after all she had done that
even the congratulations Of Mr..
Charles lizard failed to give her pleas
ure.
Unlike the successful actress Of our
time, she had not yet attracted the at
tention of the flower" brigade, as
little Dulcie Holmes, one of her
friends in the theatre, would call
them; and despite her success and
the astonishment 1t had provoked, no
baskets of roses decorated her dress
ing-table, nor were expensive bou-
Quets thrown "negligently" to the
various corners of the room. Two red
roses In a cheap vase; bunch of mar.
cissi, which had obviously come from
the fower-girls of the Criterion wit.
Messed her triumph in lonely majesty.
Even the redoubtable Mr.. lizard, not
anticipating the splendor OF the even
ing, had forgotten to command" a
basket for his star He, good man,
had but one word for his surprising
fortune. TITS bully" he said.
Eta sat alone, but it was not for
many minutes after the curtain fell.
Little Dulcie Holmes, the artists
daughter, who had walking part"
at twenty-four shillfngs a week, came
leaping into the room presently and
catching her friend in both arms
Kissed her rapturously
"Oh, Eta" she cried ardently, "oh,
my 6ear-they won't go away even
now. Can't you hear them calling for
your"
"They axe too kind to me-" was
the quiet response, "and all because ]
love Derbyshire. Isn't it absurd?-but,
Of course, Pm very pleased, Dulcie"
"Think Of 1t, dear Eta. Your very
hrst night and Mr.. lizard in such a
state that he'd give you hundred a

won't play for nothing now, Eta"

b still without apparent emotion
and then with a very sweet
smile, she asked, What would you

Dulcie opened her eyes so wide
land they were pretty blue eyes tool
that the rest Of her piquant face was
quite dwarfed by them.
"Give up the theatre. You're jok

Claim Made That Excess

Reduction Of Prices

London, Oct 24-The high cost OF
living took the leading place in the
discussion at meeting of the miners
federation today. Vigorous protests
were made by Robert Smile and
Farnk Hodges, who declared that
since the governments scheme Of
taxing excess profits had been in ope-
ration, articles of consumption had
increased eight percent making them
a hundred and twenty-eight per cent
higher than prewar prices.
They hinted that the government
had encouraged excess profits in or

was expressed that excess profits
should be devoted to the reduction
in prices instead Of going into the
