a Whit Of New Atmosphere.
Riles found the Journey westward Z
tiresome affair. It was his first long
rail journey In over 20 years, but his
thoughts were on the cost Of travel
rather than on the wonderful strides
which had been made In it's comfort
and convenience.
As fate would have It, Riles selected
as the base OF his homestead opera
tions the very foothill town to which
Beulah Harris had come few weeks
before. He sought out the cheapest
hotel, and having thrown his few be-
longings on the bed, betook himself to
the bar room, which seemed the chief
center Of activity, not only Of the ho-
tel Itself, but Of the little town. Men
were lined three deep against the ca
pacious bar, shouting, swearing, and
singing, and spending their money with
an abandon not to be found in mil
lionaires.
Rifles debated with himself whether
the occasion justified the expenditure
Of 10 cents for drink when a hand
was placed on his shoulder, and q
voice said, "Have one with me, neigh
bor." He found himself addressed by
a man Of about his own age. shorter
and somewhat lighter Of frame and
with growing hint OF corpulence.
The stranger wore good pepper-and-
salt suit, and the stone on his finger
danced like a real diamond.
Don't mind II do, since v mention

which his bad eve rendered futile. One

exciting incident. The man In the

dollar on the bar, and no change came
back. Rifles congratulated himself on
his own narrow escape.

PLATING ON ALUMINIUM

Some time ago there were report
ed the details of method invented
for plating on aluminium, an achieve
ment that had long been striven for
With little success. The chief diff
Guilty appears to arise from an in
visible film, which forms on alu-
mlnum when exposed to the air.
BY the method mentioned this
him is dissolved off in a bath con-
tanning soluble fuorides. A little
Tree hSdrofuoric acid appears to
act best. Then coating of zinc is
formed on the aluminium in a plat
ing bath, and upon this coating cop
per, silver and other metals may be
deposited.
In order to form gold plating
'ne zinc covering the aluminium
must first be coated thinly with cop
per, as otherwise the gold sinks into
tile zinc, and in a few weeks almost
disappears. :

CATFISH TO CLEAN SEWERS

The sewer-cleaning department Of
all Oregon town is said to make use
of catfish for the purpose of remov-
ing Instructions which occur in the
pipes. When it is noted sewer is
not fulfilling its mission, the sewer
cleaner goes down to the river and
catches catfish. A string is tied to
the fsh's tail and it is released in
the sewer. This fish will at once
start for the river and will work its
way through any ordinary obstruc-
ton. The end Of the cord which the
fish has dragged after it is secured
and it is made to pull a light wire
through the pipe, and then heavier
one, with the aid Of which the ac-
cumulations are finally removed.

HAD HISTORY OF THAT WHALE
SUI There VIII Be Some Who Think
mat Little Man Was Inclined
to Be Sarcastic.

!, Mayor Lunn of Schenectady was
discussing spiritualism.
"Conan Doyle and Sir Oliver
Lodge" he said, 1can pirate on as
they please always feel like the
skeptic among the fishermen.
"A group of fishermen were brag.
glng and wrangling in hotel lobby.
A little, thin skeptic, after listening
to them for some time, interrupted
their noisy talk.
Gentlemen he said, raising his
voice so as to be heard above the
dln-'did You ever wonder, gentle
men, what became of the whale that
swallowed Jonah?'
"'Ah, what's the use wondering
about thatY said a fat fisherman,
impatiently. Nothing defnite's
known And he turned again to
his companions. 4 tell you, fellers,
she tipped the beam
"But the little, thin skeptic
again Interrupted.
Gentlemen | know what be-
came Of that whale he said inn
pressively.
"sAh, go on What became of
her?' said the fat fisherman in an
incredulous, jeering voice.
/" The whale a he, not a she ami
mall, said the little fellow, made
a bore of himself for the rest Of his
life by going about telling all the
other whales how the largest man
he ever caught managed to wriggle
loose and get away
