EIks' Masquerade
 Was Great Success

The Elks' Carnival Masquerade on Saturday night was "ze grande aTaire" of the season.
 At an early hour the maskers be- gan to Congregate snd almost every conceivable character was represent ed. The costumes were costly and showed that great care had been taken in getting them completed and by ten o'clock the t!g Elks' hall was crowded with merry dancers and many and varied were the stunts pulled or.
 Limited space will not permit. of a detailed description of the cos tunes and We will nave to confne ourselves to the pr!ze winners.
 Mrs. Hal Johnston was the win ner of the "best dressed lady, the first prize, and her costume was a creation of beauty and skill. She represented a butterfly and carried out the part with grace and well simulated action.
 The second prize for gentlemen was easily won by L. 4. McALster, who impersonatcd a Chinese man darin and acted the part as to the manor born. Even his dancing was characteristic of the dancing of the nowcry kingdom and his costume was rich and rare and genuine robe of the Chinese aristocracy.
 Guy Sipprelle gained the third prize for the most original character as Si. and he was gotten up letter perfect and acted his part very well.
 The fourth prize, the most comical character. went to N. c. Hanson of Haiues, who appeared as a native of the Fiji Islands. This character was correct in every respect and Han sons form corresponds exactly with this athletic race. Every detail was carried out 10 perfection with the exception that MT Manson was not eating raw meat. Taken all in all ! the carnival was a most decided sue, ! cess and much credit is due the committee for their arduous work
 There were dozc-s of meritorious , costumes that could be mentioned ] but space fOrbids.
 The dance was continued until af- ter two o'clock.
 One of the novelties introduced was the cabaret supper which was served from ll:&O on and was fine. Doughnuts and delicious coffee . were on the bill of fare.
 There was much talk of another and the hope was expressed that it would not be long before another masquerade would be staged.

 Kidney disease often advances so rapidly that many a person is firm ly in it's grasp before aware of it's progress. Prompt attention should be given the slightest symptom of kidney disorder. If there is a dull pain in the back, headaches, dizzy spells or a tired, worn-out feeling, or if the kidney secretions are of- fensive, irregular and attended with pain, procure a good kidney remedy at once.
 Thousands recommend Deans Kidney Pills.
 J. W. Holman, retired police Judge, Richmond Ave, Dayton, Washing ton, says: Tt seemed as though every time I caught a cold it settled in my kidneys and caused lame back. At times when I had an attack I could hardly get out of a chair be- cause of the severe pains in the small of my back. The kidney se- cretions passed too often and caus- ed me to get up nights. l suffered from pains in the back of my head, too. Doan's Kidney Pills soon drove the pain out of my back and made my kidneys act like clock work"

1t to fall upon a second screen

Sits. These two Sits then became
the sources of two divergent trains
OF light waves which passed ON to

In such a manner that some Of
their waves met in Same phase

but in certain conditions
~ the hght-waves interfere,
and by such interference they
may either reinforce, or weaken,
or totally neutralize one another
at a given point. The required
conditions are not present in the
experiments that you describe.
In order that interference be
produced the waves must en-
counter at some point in different
phases Of vibration. Even when
interference takes place the light
waves concerned are not destroy
ed but they continue on beyond
the point Of interference absolute
ly unaltered. although just at
that point II they meet in pre-

Case Of Sound Waves. -
This curious phenomenon may
be seen also in the case of sound
waves. Two tuning forks may be
50 placed that the distance be-
tween them. In the plane of their
prongs, Is just equal to the wave
length Of the sound that they
emit. Then, IL the ear Is placed
in the plano of the forks on one
side or the other, the wave from
the nearer fork will reach the
ear In the same phase of vibra-
ton as that OF the wave from the
more distant fork. and the sound
will be increased in volume by
the combination of the waves.
So IL the distance between the
forks is two whole wave-lengths,
or three. the effect will be the
same. But IL the distance Is made
only half a waye-length. then the
sound from the farther fork viii
