CITY OF IMPOSING ARCHITECTURE HANGS IN
 AIR AT GLACIER BAY

One of the most celebrated mirages is tat which is observed now and then from the neighborhood of Glacier Bay, in Alaska. where, in the distance, above vasd sheen of glacial ice, a city is seen as if suspended in the air. It has buildings of beautiful and i'm posing architecture, tall churches with spires and puttresses and many street scenes with houses, plain to the view.
 This is the so-called silent city of Alaska. The Duke of Abruzzi saw it a few years ago when he visited Alaska. Many attempts have been made to photograph it. but for some reason un- explained, without success. Some per s0ns have gore SC far as to declare that it is view of the city of Bristol, England.

 Potash was one of the articles left on the free list in the new tariff at the request of certain interests to pre- vent increasing the price. Now the foreign combine which controls the potash output will collect tariff of it's own.

WIRE SCREENS PREVENT
 GASES FROM EXPLODING

CHICAGO, April 16.-Dscoverles Of far-rcaching importance to indus trial concerns and others handling ether, alcohol, ainyl acetate and light oils, have been announced by the Fire Underwriters Laboratories as a result of a study of the fire danger from volatile liquids.
 Screens of fine brass, copper or silver mesh, the chemists discovered, will prevent the spread of flames through vapor filled pines connect ing storage tanks of the highly in flammable liquids. Tho investigation was undertaken at the request of one of tho worlds largest explosive manu- facturers to reduce the fire hazard in his factories, but the discoveries will be applicable wherever danger ous solvents arc handled.
 The experiments covered flat and cone shaped wire screens in pipes of from one-half to six inches in dia- meter and showed that when prop erly applied the screens would halt the flames, although the rest of the pipe was filled with a dangerous va DOT mixture. Mixtures of ether and air proved the hardest to control, gasoline being next in order, followed lby acetone, alcohol, light oil and amyl acetate.
 The investigation also included ben zol, tuluol, turpcntine, kerosene, amyl alcohol acetic acid. aniline, nitro benzol, glycerin, linseed oil. cotton seed oil, palm oil, paraffin oil, chloro form, lard Ol, camphor and phenol.

TIME OF WILDCAT BANKS
Name for, Unsound Deposltorlss
Was Derived From Pictures on
EarI& Day Notes.

The term "wildcatsr today ap-
piled to worthless securities of any
description. was originally the
name given to certain banks in
Michigan. Back In 1887 there was
severe financial panic: Many
banks failed. The currency which
they had circulated became worth
less, many bogus banks started up
and issued bank notes" and the
country was Overrun with q
swarm of counterfeiters.- Banking
and business were demoralized and,
to make matters worse, lax legisla5
ton was passed In many states,
permitting almost any kind of
: financial robbery In the name Of
banking.
Such was the case In Michigan.
where 40 banks were started under
law of fraudulent character.
These banks were called wild
cats" because the bank notes issued
by them bore a picture Of that anil
NAL. All but four of these failed
within two years, hence the term
wildcat to denote a very insecure
financial obligation.-Muncie Bank

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Billy the Bull didn't like red.
Everybody in Squealy-Moo Land
knew that, even Gadabout Gobbler
had enough sense to keep out OF the
pasture lot.
Billy was really a fine fellow, but
like lots of nice people, he had fad.
Just as you don't like soup with
onions in it, or going to bed early. or
let-down dresses, or an overcoat, or
castor-oil, or the school-bell.
Really, when think of it, Billy is
quite sensible, there being only one
thing he doesn't like and hundred
and one things we don't like. I'm as
sure as anything that onions and
dresses and overcoass and .castor-oil
and school-beils, never worried Billy
for a minute. No doubt he thinks
I'VE are queer.
But there! I'll have Il start all
over again. i

and sunsets and barns. Why. my

by 20 or more buoys.

is the muffled tolling of bell buoy

very rough. Stand on the shore.
or at the end Of the pier, and you
Will hear 1t quite distinctly when
the wind drops for q moment.
Then there Is the gas bell buoy.
Highly compressed gas Is held
stored In the base Of the buoy, and
Is forced up by pipes INTO lam
tern. There are lenses that help
to add brilliance to the light, which
flashes out its warning day and
night until all the gas is used. The
usual time Of refilling Is about
fortnight.
There is also an ancient buoy
which looks like barrel on the
water. 1t Is filed with cork, and
Is anchored to the sandy bed Of the
sea. This buoy Is intended to warn
ships not to cast anchor In the VI
