Chewing Gum Gave Him Away.

A COB of chewing gum has disrupted
a family. In a recent divorce case
the wife, who was suing, testified that
she was sure that her husband was I'M
faithful, but did not know for certain
to which one Of several charmers he
was paying attention.
One morning she found COB Of
gum that he had been chewing the
night before when he returned home
late. In the lump Of gum was the
fatal red hair. She caused watch
to be placed on the woman who had
locks to match the hair she found
and discovered that her husband was
a frequent visitor at the red-heads
apartment and got a divorce in rec
ord time. Talk about your detective
stories, what a plot Portland Ore

CAMERA TO RECORD WINNER
Method Of Timing Race 10 Declared
TO Be Beyond All Possibility
Of Error.

The moving-picture camera Is to be
put to a new use; it Is to time exactly
the runners in race.
When two competitors come In very
close together 1t is extremely difficult
for the umpire to say which was first,
and often two men are so near that
the result Is declared dead-heat.
In all cases probably one Of the men
Ia a fraction in front Of the other. but
the eye Is unable to note such minute
differences.
Now a clock IL to be erected at the
winning post, and as the winners come
in they will be photographed with a
kinema.came which will time their
arrival to the hundredth part Of a Sec
ond. If the winner breaks the tape
only one eighth Of an inch In front
Of his nearest competitor the camera
will note the fact.
The camera will be focused stimuli
taneously on the clock at the winning
post and on a mirror rejecting the
start Of the race. Both clock and
camera will be set working before the
starter fires his pistol, and the fash
of the pistol will be reflected In the
mirror and recorded on the film with
the time Of the clock to hundredth
Of a second.
This time can then be subtracted
from the time Of the finish, and the
exact time Of the race for each man
arrived at.
There will now be very few dead
heats in running matches.

Locomotive From Scrap Iron.

Working for eleven years, with file
as his only tool, a man in Buenos
Ayres has made miniature locomo-
tive of scrap iron. The locomotive
can be operated under its own power
by the use of compressed air. The
iron was not heated in the making, but
was worked cold A>small coal tender
and passenger coach were made at the
same time and the whole thing is a
little more than six feet il length and
weighs 10 pounds More than 1900
screws and 1900 rivets were used in
the work. The train is complete to
the last tiny detail and is built on the
model of the equipment used on the
British railroa DIS of that country.

CHlNA's WALL IS CRUMBLlNG
Wonderful Structure, Built 200 3. c.,
Believed, However, to Be Good
for Many Centuries.

Recent visitors to, the great wall OF
China, which is accessible at Nankow,
forty miles from Picking, describe 1t as
slowly crumbling. Many Of the tur-
rets which command it's salient points
as the wall climbs over the mountain
tops are in ruins and tourists and ma
tives alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw into
the valleys below. Yet it is maintained
that the great structure, extending
from Shanhaikuan on the sea almost
to the borders of Tibet, has many cen
turtles to live, although no efforts are
made to preserve it. -.@
Construction Of the wall was be.
gun 200 B. c. by Emperor Chin Huang-
tt, contemporary of Hannibal, who
conceived this barrier to keep out the
Tartars. At one time 100000 Grim
inais and prisoners Of war were en-
gagged in the work. The main part OF
the wall, however, was not undertaken
until the Seventh century. when, 1t Is
said, 100000 workers were employed.

WOMEN IN VARIOUS TRADES
Fair Sex Has Travelled Far From
What Was Considered Proper in
the Victorian Era.

There are today in New York state
7S9 women in the building trades in
Guiding women carpenters, electricians,
house painters, GLACIERS, paper hang
ers, plasterers, plumbers, and even
stone cutters. There are also women
working as common laborers for the
railroads.
We have had factory workers, to be
sure, for long years, but in the past
they have been chiefly employed as
semi-skilled operators in clothing, tex
tile and similar industries. Today,
New York state boasts 2,610 in lum-
Der and furniture work; 1902 doing
semi-skilled tasks in steel and iron
and 3,217 working among the other
metals; while ], 107 work in clay, stone
or glass The combined list of mill
workers and skilled operators runs
considerably more than 100000 for the
state.
Such tasks are not so anti-Victorian
as Quarrying, mining, stevedOring, OF
course, in which women are also en-
gagged, but they are still far cry from
the kitchen stove, the parlor dust
cloth and the nursery.-Florence Guy
Woolston in the New Republic.

IMPORT BEADS BY BILLIONS
Demand for Those Ornaments by the
Women Of the United States
Seems Unsuitable.

Ballots and beads must belong to-
gether In the mind Of the modern wom-
an. At any rate, ten strings Of beads
are worn today when one was worn
before the war and before the vote.
Beads by the billions are being Inn
ported. This years record promises
to run far ahead Of last years. and
last years record was worth a glance.
To make any comment upon the ad.
vanced and emancipated woman's In
terest In the ornament that Is usually
set down as q South sea savage's no
ton Of an all-but-complete costume IL
quite unnecessary. The figures speak
for themselves.
From central Europe, from France.
from the shores Of the entire Mediter-
ranean, from all Judea, from the three
great countries Of the Far East, the
making Of beads for the United States
is a big business, declares New York
Sun writer. Not satisfied with the
quantity that can be turned out with
everybody working at the Job Of dec
Grating the dresses and the hats and
the shoes of millions of American wom-
en-, the demand for something differ
ent has made the best dealers set the
very South sea savage to scraping up
the seashells from the shores of lonely
isles that are all but lost on any
average map.
To the national bill for tire ma
terials could be added the cost of all
imported cigarettes and then the total
would be $35,0OO,OO0 short of meeting
the total outlay for feminine orna-
ments. In spite of the increase In
the amount of coffee imported, the cup
that cheers America at breakfast time
costs far less than the beads that
women wear. About $66,OOOOOO less
The comedy continues throughout the
whole list of life's lesser luxuries.

BOYS DON'T WANT THRlLLERs
Tales Of Wild Adventure Seenlngly
Only Interest the Middie-Aged
Man Of Today.

No longer do the tales OF Little
Sure Shot," "Deadwood Dick" and
other old-time terrors Of the prairies
interest the youth Of the rising genera
ton, observes the New York World.
This has been demonstrated since the
collection Of Beadle's dime novels was
placed In the public library. 1t had
been expected that there would be a
rush of young people to see the old
thrillers, and at least one society that
takes upon itself the care and supervi-
sion Of public morals was moved to
rise in protest against debauching the
mind of youth. However, in the month
in which these books have been on
show, less than 10 per cent Of the Wis
itors has been under the age Of six
teen.
Attendants keep a tally, and during
the time the Beadle books have been
displayed there have been 1,427 per-
sons in to see them. While the tally as
to ages is not kept, it Is the consensus
of attendants that hardly more than
100 have been minors. In the next
room, however, where the baseball
collection has been displayed, more
than half the visitors are children.
During July there were 9,643 who WIS.,
tied the display.
The Beadle collection has been at
tractive' chiefly to the middle aged.
Men of dignif1ed bearing, often In
pairs, have gone the rounds Of the
showcases, chuckling over the tL.-t-.oa.

TELL TERRIBLE TALE
OF SALTON SEA

Tn n recent number of Wide World
magazine, II. c. Shearer has an article
telling of the adventures of two young
fellows from Los Angeles on a trip to
Salton Sea. The article speaks OF the
trip as "one of great danger and mad
cap daring" the young men risking
their lives every foot of the way down
to the sea and back, and pulling some
stunts there that rival the stories OF
Baron Manchusen.
One particularly juicy yarn tells how
the young men, disappointed because
CAPTAIN Davis boat could not be used
to make trip around the sea, removed
the sidecars from their motorcycles
and used them as boats, after calking
the seams tightly with tar In order
to get the makeshift boats on the
water, they had to get in them and
" slide down the sand dunes, distance
of 30 feet, attaining at times speed
| of over 80 miles an hour and hitting
| the water with a tremendous splash.
| They padded all over the sea in their
amphibious side cars, according to the
article, once nearly perishing from
| heat, thirst and blisters on their hands,
| Davis though the story does not say
whether the captain brought ice, moon
shine or cold cream to the nearly perish
ing party. After seven days of hair
| breadth escapes from death while photo
| graphing the pelieans and other birds
in the sea, the men returned to Los An
! geles, satisfied with adventure and glad
to be back again in civilization.
| Possibly the best yarn in the bunch
tells how, just before they were rescued
by Captain Davis, they abandoned
| their filmed" side ears and threw
themselves, utterly exhausted, on a
mattress of sea grass" which floatcd
down toward them.
i These moonshine days produce more
weird stories than those Of John Barley
corn ever did.
