Measuring Earth's Temperature.

A novel but simple method of meas
uring earth temperature has been sue
ceSsfully tried at depth of 1902 feet,
that of the bottom of the bore-hole of
st. Jean d'Herans, the deepest in
France. Two exactly similar cent?
grade thermometers were cut off at
40 degrees, and compared with third
thermometer to show that the indica-
tons were not affected. The shortened
instruments were fixed In opposite po-
sitions-one inverted and the other
erect-in a simple sheath. Lowered
into the hole, they were then kept one
hour at the bottom to acquire the rock
temperature, and as this was above
40 degrees. some of the mercury was
forced from the tubes. On being with
drawn, the tubes were gradually heat
ed in water-bath until the mercury
just filed them, which the standard
thermometer showed was at 62.5 de-
grees In each. The surface tempera-
ture being 12.5 degrees, the earth in
crease was one degree for each 100
feet of depth. z =. -, g. :. -. !.

Tim HeaIv's Wit.

The resignation Of Tim Healy from
parliament, says a writer In Tit-Bits,
means that the house will lose its
greatest wit. l recall, from his mex
haustible list of witticisms, his de-,
scription Of bill to which he OBJ
jected as the offspring of "a headache
of the Irish Office" while he once de-
clared that the making Of the late
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman into
chief secretary was an attempt to gov
ern Ireland with Scotch jokes. One Of
Tins most exquisite imaginings. how
ever, was during divorce case. when
he said that "the spectacle of his
learned friends client crying in the
witness box was the greatest miracle
that had ever happened since Moses
drew water from the rock"

Ministry of Knitters.

With real regret good many Of our
ladies will lay aside their knitting
needles at the word that their industry
has supplied the, immediate needs of
the soldiers and sailors. Their record
of millions of sweaters, helmets and
other protective gear is unexampled In
the history of the world, and will be
immortal in the grateful memories Of
the returning heroes. These knitters
did not need to begin their lesson Of
thought for others when they took up
knitting. But having kept 1t at the
forefront of attention for so long, they
will certainly be eager to, find other
means Of thoughtful ministry.-Con-
sregationalist and Advance. ...,..

Aluminium Coins.

Africa has adopted the aluminium
coin. Nearly 100000 coins of that
metal have been struck from the Brit
ish mint for circulation in Uganda and
the Nigerian protectorates. Each coin
bears the value either Of 1 cent or of
mills.
They are perforated in the center
like Chinese coins, in order that the
natives may string them together
Bronze coins are in wide circulation
on the west coast of Africa.
In the interior small shells known
as cowries are used as fractional cur
rency. 1t is to replace the cowries
that tie new coins have been struck.

carrier when it "comes to him in
bunches." When this happens and on
Mondays of each week the regular
carrier Is swamped with an "over-
dose" Of heavy mail in large cities,
the services of substitute carriers
are required.
City carriers as well as the rural
carrier have substitutes who are lia-
BILE to be called for duty at any time
when regular carriers are unable to
serve. in fact our postal department
has it arranged, So that you are serv-
ed daily with your mail, once in the
country and from twice to five times
in large cities where = first class
postoffice has been established, and
for which no extra charge is made
except that patrons are required to
purchase and install mail boxes at
their expense.

City letter delivery differs chief

more than eight hours daily except
during the Xmas holiday rush each

In all my twenty years Of exper-
ience in dealing with the public at
vurioua occupations, l can truthfully
state that r. F. D. and city carriers
are . conscientious, honest and law
abiding class Of people, who learn
how to cope with the most exacting
customer and yet abide with the
thousand and one postal laws, rules
and regulations issued by the postal
department Of the government.
Generally speaking the rural car

Edgewater Notes

The school election here Monday
passed very quietly, there being 2oo
ballots cast in the contest for direc-

lit and Stephen Higgs received 81.
Mrs. Cannon is now to serve her
second term as president of the

On May 1st Assessor Jacob Klein
and County Treasurer Guy Juchem
addressed the taxpayers of the town
at mass meeting at the school house
on the subject of "who is RESPONSE
BILE for the high taxes in Edgewater"
There was a large attendance and
everyone seemed to understand the
situation and that there was no fault
to find with either the School board
or the Town board, for the present
high tax levy. It is a case of the
people having voted to build sewer
aid for the other improvements that
Edgewater has and the boards mere
ly fixed the levies so as to meet the
indebtedness thus incurred.
Among the boys returning from
war was Ray Spicer, son of C. E.
Spicer, postmaster, who gives inter-
esting accounts of his experiences he

men and munitions to the front.
Oscar Whether and Ben Simpson
returned with Colorado's own 18TH
and were glad to get home.
Edgewater can well be proud of
its showing in the war just closed as
well as thankful, as none Of the forty
boys were injured, tho most all were
under fire either in France or on the
sea.
The new Town board are now on
the job. having had three meetings
since taking the oath of office.

SUGGESTION MEETS APPROVAL

Our article last week regarding
"better system for apprehending a
criminal has met with general ap-
proval with the Taxpayers, and
movement in that direction may be
started. Sheriff Bert Jones sug-
gests that = number Of counties in
the state might find it to their ad-
vantage to get together at some fu-
ture date to talk the matter over to
see what could be done about it. Un-
der the present system the sheriffs
find it particularly hard to give the
service naturally expected Of them,
because in doing 80 they are COM
PEELED to take the risk Of doing 80 at
their own expense. For instance, Mr..
Jones says, the last month his gaso-
line and automobile expense will ex-
ceed his mileage fees by some $40
or more. The County Commission
ers are willing enough to do the fair
thing in the matter, but It il diff
cult for them to tell just how far
they should 20 in cases where direct
results are not TO be shown.
When criminal has gone into
another county the only thing that
Gun be done is to notify the other
county officials, and await some dep
relation there possibly. before the
other county officials are justified
in putting great deal Of work on
tho case. They all seem to feel that
they are responsible for the enforce
ment Of the laws in their own county
first. and they can't put in q great
deal Of time hunting up criminals for
u neighboring county.
II there was fund from which
= reward could be offered 1t natur-
ally would make it more difficult for
criminal to find refuge in another
county. This subject would at least
furnish topic for discussion at .
convention Of County Commissioners
and Sheriffs. il such meeting could
be arranged.

One thing we would like TO see the
new Town Board do is to cover the
Wadsworth ditch from the corner at
the drinking fountain to where it
goes under the street in front OF
Chas. Graves house. This place has
always been not only an eyesore to
the people of the town, but in real
ity is a very dangerous place. as it is
near the kindergarten school. and in
the irrigating season the water is
deep enough to drown pretty good
sized child, should it accidentally
fall in from the sidewalk. Another
thing, the street room it would af-
ford is needed. OF course it takes
money to do these things and the
Board has always hesitsted to do
thing of so great magnitude, but If
some child gets drowned the Town Of
Arvada Is liable and it would then
bankrupt the town to pay the indem-
nifty. "A stitch in time saves nine."
