The Fire Escape Puzzle.

sBinks invented a fire escape which
consists of merely a. rope having
large buckets at either end and run
n,ng over a free pulley. In opera
ton one bucket carries a heavier
load than the other, and so descends
as the lighter one arises. Binks
says that the difference in basket
weights should not exceed 80
pounds, that being the limit for
safe descent, For example, if 180-
pound person wished TO descend by
the Binks route it would be neces-
sary to place $50 pound weight in
the basket at the ground end in or
der that the person might come
down in the other:
Binks advises every family to
have worked-out schedule at hand,
so as to waste no time when the
occasion arises to use his device
His household consists OF Mrs.
Binks, 2f0 pounds: Mr.. Binks, 90

Mr. and Mrs. Screech Owl Have Two Sets of Eyelids
and Turn Their Heads Completely Around :
Without Choking to Death.
ny MARGARET M'SHANE.
Eighteenth story of the Night.

In the cool of the night pom
pous little Owl stood at the door OF
his habitage to take the'air.
He was mot very large, but his
ear stood up like horns, adding to
his height and pompousness, and
making him look very wise. He
was proud Of this demeanor and lie
gazed about him with She air Of
lord and master OF all he surveyed.
He had lived in the hollow of the
same old tree for months past, long
enough to make him the oldest citi-
zen ABOUT the place, As such all the
privileges Of the locality were his.
Let anyone dare. question his right
to all the mice ins sight. They were
his by sheer right OF proprietorship
He peered about him with d pair
OF keen eyes--eyes that had never
tmisoed a mouse yet, as 1t trIpped by
for its supper-and eyes, set tonight
with determination 10 get an extra
good one presently.
Moonbeam, in search OF new helds
of adventure took a path which led
through the thlckest and loneliness
path OF the grove.
Sailing on her way she climbed
to the tops of the talleSt trees. Here
she stopped and looked about her.
Below she recognized many friends.
The Chi1np-munks fitted gayly
by playing hide and seek in the
shrubbery. dressed in their pretty
soft brown clothes. The Frogs
hoped in and out Of the pool, and
some wandered leisurely on the,

night for enemies to be about

HOME GROWN wALNuTs.

Colonel R. R. Richardson has been ombing the Sonoita creek bottoms for symetrical, young native walnut trees. It is his intent tion to set out about fifty of these and graft upon them the English walnut. He has been told that the plan has been tried in other places, less favor able than this locality, with re- markable success and he will give it a through and careful trial. He will set out the trees on ground adjacent to town, the soil of which he believes is we'll adapted to the growth of the na- tive tree.
 Should the plan of grating the English walnut of commerce upon these native trees give promise of success, as he has been assured it will, it is his in tention to enlarge the scope of his activities along this line.
