HOW POTTERY is FASHIONED
Skill OF the Maker Produces Earthen-

From the earliest times rude vessels
Of burnt clay We're used to hold foods
and though the potter's wheel and eff
fective methods of glazing earthen-
ware have produced china beautiful
beyond description. the common clay

sessions in the collection of oar every
day utensils.
The greatest maker of earthenwars
In England was Josiah WedgewooS.
who made "the Potteries." strip OF
clay barrens, six by eight miles long,
produce wares famous throughout the
civilized world The quality of the
clay used decides the kind of pottery
stone china. or fine china that will be
produced. The red crockery, of which
Crooks pans, casseroles, marmites and
such work-a-day dishes are made. Is
common brick clay. 1t Is often glazed
with litharge of lead ground with the
clay. This glaze Is almost transpa-~
ent and the rich colors of the clay
show through handsomely. The lead,
however has been found to cause In
testinal poisoning when acid foods
have been kept in these convenient
containers so that salt glazed ware ~
more in demand. in some countries
iead-glazed vessels may not be sold
for household use. The salt glaze IL
produced by throwing coarse salt into
the kiln during firing.

Willie IN Africa recently Mr.. A. s.
lie Souef, director of the Taronga
zoo (Sydney), saw plenty of elephants
which were destructive to the crops
put in by the natives of the Uganda
country. He also observed the body
of small antelope about Ia feet up
tree. The carcass OF the antelope
Ind been put in this position for
safe keeping, by leopards. "These
members of the cat family are hand
some, and extremely active" says Mr..
lie Souef. "They play about in clear
places in the forest, tenr up the
ground, and spring far up the trees.
They are most active. but they do
not readily attack humanity, unless

are hungry. The beauty Of their fur
makes them desirable for a zoo and

WHERE FOSSIL BONES ABOUND
Corner Of Nebraska Long Famous for
Its Skeletons Of Queer Prehis-
torlc Animals.

Where do the museums of the coun-
try get their strange and curious skele-
tons Of prehistoric animals? If a skele-
ton is a ''dinohyus" or "moropus,"
one may be quite sure that it came
from the farm of James Henry Cook
in the northwest corner of Nebraska {;
and the chances are almost equally
good If the specimen happens to be a
saber-toOthed cat or a many-toed horse.
or almost any Of those queer animals
that belong to the early Miocene
period, says II. p. Crawford, in an
article in Popular Science Magazine.
Most ranchmen and farmers are quite
content to raise the ordinary sort Of
stock, but here is q ranch that is most
widely known because Of its output Of
prehistoric animals. For more than a
decade paleontOlOgists from the great
universities and museums of this coun-
try have made regular trips to these
fossil Quarries.
The Cook farm and ranch, located
close to the Wyoming line, comprise
some $4,000 acres. On the eastern
edge Of the ranch the Niobrara river
has laid bare two hills, from both of
which scores and scores of fossil skele-
tons have been quarried. In the sum-
mer 1t Is no uncommon occurrence for
representatives of half a dozen eastern
institutions to pitch camp near these
hills and spend several months digging
out the fossil bones which, when
worked over in the museum, form the
Queer-loOking skeletons.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

"A thirty-year-old girl can fool
man by dressing like she was 16.
But she never fools a woman.
You can get lot of things for
nothing that costs you a lot of
money to get rid of.
There wouldn't be many div
orce lawyers if a girl could love
the man she marries the way she
marries the man she loves.
Tell woman that she is a pic
ture and you will put her in nap
py frame of mind.
We have often wondered what
a good and pure Christian says
when he steps on wooden collar
button when he is in his bare feet.
Some men let a girl get on a
street car first because they are
polite. Others do it because they
are afraid they might miss some
thing.
Many an old-time husband can
tell you that his wife never seems
to be happy unless she has some
thing to be mad about.
Another damli: Once upon a
time there was a man whose job
was harder than he thought it
was.
When man gets home at 2 a.
m. and wants his wife to listen
to reason he means that he wants
her to listen to the unreasonable
yarn he manufactured on his way
, home.
No matter how ornery a hus-
band may be, his wife is usually
willing to give him a little credit
for his good intentions.
Some men remind you of a
sleepless dog. 1t doesn't take
much to start them barking, but
it is mighty hard to stop them.
You may not believe it. But it
takes you four times as long to
loaf for an hour as it does to work
for an hour.

Andrew G. Elliot Dead

Andrew G. Elliot, early day
resident of Gilpin county and dis
coverer of the famous War Dance
mine, died last Thursday at his
residence, POOP Vine stereet, Den
yer. He had been in failing health
for some time, chiefly due to his
age, but his last illness lasted on
ly three weeks.
Mr.. Elliot was born at Orms-
town, Canada. He came to Colo
RADIO in early seventies, settling
in Central City and engaging in
mining. After discovering the
War Dance mine he operated the
st. Louis-Gunnell property, one
of the largest producing mines in
the district.
Following the death of his wife,
Mr.. Elliot moved to Denver. His
son, Victor, died last March, since
which time the fathers health be-
gan to fail.
Mr.. Elliot was a life member of
Alexandria lodge, A. F. & A. M,
at Oil Springs, Ontario, Canada.
He is survived by three sons
