changed by the county court,
Last year the aggregate rate in the
county was $222. This year the taxa,
lie values are almost doubled, so that
if the same amount had to be raised
the rate could be cut in half. The
state rate is certified at 26 cents.
Last year the county levy taisal
around $4,000, but il is stated by
Judge Whitthornc >and the records
show that such a sum was inadequate
to operate the county on Il cash BASH
Ii is said that at least an additional
$4,000 Should be ra sed. That would
be $4,000. 70 raise that would re-

At least $50, 900 more will be required
this year. That will require levy Of
25 cents Not less than five cents
will be needed for high schools The
levy for highways can be cut from 70
to 10 cents and raise almost the same
amount of money. The school 5ui'd-

The Thinnest Thing.

The thinnest thing in nature is the
black spot that appears on bubble
before it bursts. That black spot is
the center of a number, usually five,
of concentric rings ON the skin of the
bubble, which form as the skin weak
ems. The thickness Of these rings de-
creases by regular steps toward the
center, and there the bubble is so thin
that it cannot reflect light, and there
fore appears black. 1t is about seven
molecules thick. But mica has been
