Ballet Among Soap Bubbles

Beautiful scenes are common III the
motion picture studios, and many me-
chanical effects are produced which
fairly dazzle the eye of the onlooker.
AS climax to an unusually gorgeous
set a director recently called for d
dance in the midst of soap bubbles.
Accordingly, since Il space 20 by 40
feet had been designated to be filed
with the frothy substance, metal
sieve of this size was fitted in the floor.
A soap solution, made with POO bar
rels of the product and mixed in the
same manner as plasterers prepare
lime, was piped to the porous floor,
and steam forced through 1t. The i'm
mediate transition into bubbles began,
and these soon rose to huge scintil-
lating mass, in which the dancers
performed. the whole presenting, ac-
cording to Illustration and description
in the Popular Mechanics Magazine,
a scene of fairy-like splendor,

CAN SEE GROWTH OF METALS
Interesting Experiments Conducted by
Ohio Professor Recently Made
Public by Scientific Monthly.

When a piece of iron wire is placed
in solution of potassium ferricyande
G. to 4 per cent?, containing some
egg-white or gelatine to act as pro-
tective oolloid and II little sodium
chloride, delicate blue-green vesicleS
and tubules of ferrous ferricyanide
are quickly formed; the tubuIes grow
out rapidly into the solution, and
within half an hour or less the whole
wire Is covered with a dense filament-
Gus growth resembling blue green
algae, writes Prof Ralph S. Lille of
Nela research laboratory, Cleveland,
O., in the Scientific Monthly.
Iron is an especially favorable metal
for such experiments apparently be-
cause of the presence of numerous
local electric couples between differ
emf areas of the metallic surface, and
filaments several centimeters long are
readily obtained. These often exhibit
delicate and regular ossstriatons
and other appearances suggestive OF
organic structure.
If instead of iron the related metals.
cobalt and nickel, are used, differ
ent type of growth is obtaind, coarser
and more vascular in structure and
with finer tubules: many of the latter
follow characteristic, tortuous or zig
gag course.

PRIMITIVE LOT IN BALKANS
AIbanians, Montenegrins, and Serbi-
ans Alike in Their Ignorance of
the Outside World.

The tugboat which forms the only
means Of communication between the
Albanian city of Scutari, at the south
ern end of Lake Scutari, and the Mon
tenegrin town of Pavlonitza, at the
northern end of the lake. is 1-lunged
affair subject to fainting spells and
long frances.
1t carries varied assortment of
humanity, ranging from Albanians
travelling up the lake in full regalia
to shoot up undesirable acquaintances
or something, up to the yelled ladies
with bright red finger nails and Mon
tenegrins in scarlet bolero jackets and
blue golf pants who have just been
down the lake to murder someone
they dislike or something.
An Albanian in native dress resem-
bles a character from the rajah of
ghumshoo of the prince of malaria,
while a Montenegrin logged out in his
national garb looks more like cross
between a member of the Chicago
White Sox in travelling uniform and
Lord Whlflletree on Scotch whin
shooting expedition.
Two Servan soldiers came aboard
the boat from one of the mountain
garrsons where the Serbs were wait
ing impatiently to jump over into AL
bania and grab all the territory they
could grab. Their rifles We're dirty
and rusted in spots their uniforms
were foul with dirt and frayed and
torn in numerous places. Between
their boot tops and the bottom of
their slovenly wound spiral putties was
a 1-inch hiatus which showed clearly
that they were wearing no stockings.
A two weeks growth of beard decor
ated their faces.
At lunch time they pulled loaves Of
sour gray bread from the pockets Of
their dilapidated overcoats and gnawed
at them wolfishly. / offered one OF
them cake of chocolate. He took it,
looked it all over with the greatest
care, smelled of it suspiciously and
then looked helplessly at his compan-
ion. His companion broke off half
the cake. smelled it carefully in turn
and then touched his tongue to it very
gingerly. No harm resulted, so he nib
bled at a corner Then he gave his
companion the high sign and they both
went to eating it-a nibble of choco-
late and then bite of bread Both
men were about twenty-five years old
and had never seen a piece of choco-
late before. Kenneth l.. Roberts In

Important Matter Settled.

The discovery of an alligator fossil
in the shale rock of Bay de Noe is
considered by biologists to prove that
this peninsula was not created until
fish and other forms of animal life had
begun to exist in the waters there
abouts. This must bring great deal
of satisfaction to the people living
there Scientists had asserted recent
ly that the peninsula was formed pre-
vious to the fish era, and was there
fore quite old. 1t seems probable now
that the place was created, say, only
400 100000 years ago, instead of $780,
100000 years ago. So the people need
no longer apologize for not having a
place just as new and up-tO-date as
any of us.-Detroit News.

struction of State highway extend
ing from point on Waltham Ridge, so
called, in the town of Waltham, at the
intersection of the Ridge road with the
road leading to Mariaville; thence

down State and Oak streets to Main
street: thence westerly by Main street

Trust Co. building, owned by H. B.

to Mayor Foster.
j. S. Donovan appeared before the

park and playground. The matter
was discussed by several citizens
present. The board took no action

CITY MEETING.
BUDGET OF APPROPRIATIONS
FOR YEAR VOTED.
Total 81 ,642.5O More Than Last
Year-Five Thousand for High
School Building.

The city government, at it's recess
meeting of the annual meeting Mon
day evening, finally passed the bud
get of appropriations which has been
under discussion at several meet
ings. The total, $S7,700, is an in
crease of $4,642.50 over last year.
This is more than accounted for by
the appropriation of $4,000 for the
high school building fund.
There have been other special ap-
propriations, including $4,000 for
State-aid road, which will bring a
large additional fund from the state
for permanent, road Improvement;
$4,000 appropriation for the city
library, doubling the appropriation
of last year and providing funds SUI
ficient to keep the library open every
day: $4,000 for rock crushing;
81. 600 for permanent sidewalk i'm
provement. and $3.50 for Red Cross
district nurse. These appropriations
were made possible by pruning down
other appropriations. notably 1or
common schools and for the high
school, made possible by the large
balances remaining in these funds
from last year; $4,000 from the
highway fund. and cutting out en-
tirely the contingent fund.
State and county taxes Will be
slightly higher than last year, it is
believed, and the tax rate of the city
will be slightly increased.
The budget was given it's first and
second readings, under suspension of
the rules, and passed.
Following is the list OF appropri-
ations, with the appropriations of
last year for comparison:
