Series of Accidents.

Although a loss of $4,000 has
been suffered by the Peoples Pow

in accidents to its equipment at
the power plant in Moline, officials
say that they are satisfied in being
able TO resume service. Immedi-
ate trouble was eliminated late
Wednesday afternoon.

lowed on such types or accidents.

there will be little likelihood that
the company will ever have to meet
such serious power troubles again.

SPIDER ATTRACTED BY MUSIC

year.
1t was a musical little fellow, and
when the man began to play it would
spin down almost TO level with his
shoulder and gently swing to and fro
and listen. When he had finished a
piece 1t would draw itself up to its
nest, and when he began another.

its position as an interested listener.
1t had six legs. Two it put out In
the air as a balance pole, two 1t
handled the web with, and the third
pair 1t used In pulling itself up hand
over hand as sailors climb a rope.
The organist came at last to watch
for the little fellow, and 1t was always
faithful, so that he was sure of at
least one attentive and appreclative
listener.

WAX MUST FIRST BE HEATED
impossible to Get Light From Wax
Candle Without the Presence Of
Necessary Gases.

A wax candle really is a gastorch.
You will find that when you apply a
lighted match to the wick of a candle
1t will not light readily. You have to
hold the match to the wick until the
wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax
hot enough TO turn it into gases which,
on mixing with the oxygen in the air.
produce the fire in the form Of light.
The candle will continue to be
lighted and to burn as long as the
wax continues not enough to give of
the gases or until the candle Is en-
tirely consumed. Any interruption to
this process Of transforming the wax
into gas will result In the extinguish.
ing of the light.
The reason the candle goes out
when you blow on the flame is that
the gases which feed the flame at the
end of the wick are blown away, the
process of turning the hot wax into
gas is interrupted and with the gag
supply shut off the flame is extin-
guished.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
