NEWSY JOTT|NGS BEARING ON LOCAL
 MINING ACTIVITIES

The Premier Border Colo
 Mining Company is reported contemplating a diamond drill ing program for the Northern Light property. Results at. tained in the long tunnel projected to intersect leads be. lieved to extend north from the adjoining Premier property are currently reported to have been somewhat disappointing although revealing promising mineralization.
 The sudden and unexpected closing down of the Sebakwe and Silverado operations dur ing recent days is a subject or which there is wide speculat- ion in mining circles. So far there has been no announce ment, official or otherwise, to explain why two of the most important exploratory opera tions in the district have been discontinued.
 The failure to find important lower extensions of the large ore body previously located on the third and fourth levels of the Sebakwe is looked upon in some quarters as a probable cause for the suspension of ac- tivities on that property. Else where the decline in silver is believed to be an underlying reason.
 The shutdown on the Silver ado is attributed generally to disappointing results attained in the search for the lower eX- tensions of the remarkably rich leads found on the surface two years or so ago, although it is said on good authority that considerable ore of mill- ing grade was located in the upraise run by the Premier company during the past year.
 The effect of the silver de- cline on local mining and mine financing is a subject of para mount interests among mining men at present. While the pessimistically inclined view the situation with something akin to alarm, it is the majority view that prices will soon re- turn to more normal levels.
 This view is sustained to some extent by a recent upward ten dency said to be due to an in- creased demand for silver from the Far East, where buying re- gently became almost nil. Metals and Mineral Markets" reports that recent reactions and more active interest in the market resulted from heavy buying from India and both buying and selling for China account, although the journal admits that the tendency is un- certain. The December 28 is sue of The Mining World and Engineering Record (London) reported the British silver mar ket at the lowest level in 21 years. Silver was said to be within 3.16d. per ounce of the lowest price recorded there in 97 years.
 The zinc market also appears in an uncertain state, with a steady downward tendency manifested since October 19, when the average price was 6.85c. During the past month the price fell as low as 5.15c.'

1t. Instead of seizing 1t, he jumped
back with sharp yelp. That bird had
struck him with a long, sharp, pointed
bill. Flip thought he could move quick
~, but that bird was quicker than he.
Right then and there was born a new
and very great respect for this curious
feathered person.
Flip looked back up at Farmer
Browns house. He saw Farmer Browns
Boy walking toward the barn. Flip be-
gan to bark, as he does when he has
cornered some one. Farmer Browns
Boy stopped to look over toward Flip.
He could see the little dog dancing
about as he barked.

Farmer Browns Boy. Il wonder If
Johnny Chuck has come out and Flip
has found him. ! can see something
down there, but can't make out what
It is. I guess III have to go down and
find out"
So Farmer Browns Boy started down
across the Green Meadows. Flip re-
doubled his barking when he saw his
master coming. He kept making little
rusheS at something. but Farmer
Browns Boy notlced that these ruSheS
always stopped short of whatever or
whoever it was he was rushing at, Flip
grew little holder as his master APP
preached. With his master there he
felt drawer. Once more he made a real
attempt to seize that bird. Once more
he jumped back with a sharp yelp.

said he. AS l live, believe that is
Dipper the Grebe. What under the sun
is he doing down here on the Green
Meadows. Here, Flip, here! Leave that
bird alone!"
Reluctantly, Flip obeyed. He stopped
his rushing and barking. Farmer
Browns Boy stopped over and picked
up that bird. 1t was Dipper the Grebe.
Dipper, you know, is one of the water
folk. He is in a way a sort Of small
cousin of Dippy the Loon.

William James reported the case Of
the Harvard professor who thought, per-
haps with reason. that he had succeeded
in projecting his double" to another
person.
For certain reasons, the three per-
sons figuring in the episode have been
kept nameless. Prof. James, of course,
knew them all and could have revealed
their Identities. But he was bound in
honor not to do so. We will place them
here simply as A and B and c.
All we know Is that A was woman,
c was the professor, B was some one
closely related to A. Some will surmiSe
that he may have been her husband
This suggests complications which we
would be unwarranted even to imagine
But we can understand why A did not
wish to be revealed publicly In connec-
ton with the matter.
G was an able professor at Harvard
1t is to be assumed that he was widely
known. He was certainly, and with rea-
son, highly respected. Certainly under
no other circumstances would William
James, one Of the most eminent Of
American psychologists, educators and
writers. have credited his account OF so
startling a happening.
Prof. C'S experience took place al
most half century ago. At that time
he and A were seeing each other rather
frequently. They had many intellectual
sympathies and both had been deeply
interested in a book by Sinnett on ESQ
teric Buddhism.
The subject Of the existence of an
astral body consumed a great deal of
their conversations, But, according to
c, no proposal was ever made that any
experiments should be attempted In that
line
One evening, about 10 o'clock, Prof.
c was sitting alone in his room when
his thoughts turned to his discussions
with A. Suddenly he said to himself,
Il believe will try whether I can pro-
jet my astral body to the presence
of A."
He did not at all know what process
he must use for his purpose, but, acting
intuitively. he opened his window, which
looked toward AS house, sat down in a
chair, and tried as hard as he could
TO wish himself into the presence Of his
| friend
AS house was a half mile distant,
with hill intervening. Prof. G set in
the dark and held his wish firmly for
matter Of 10 minutes. He had no
unusual feeling. He did not enter into
trance or do anything of that sort.
The next day he encountered A. From
his statement Of what then happened
we are to Judge that he said nothing
to her of his experiment. but that she
voluntarily began the following state
ment:

shake them vigorously from the shoul-

muscle. After a thorough shaking
clench the fists and, fiexing the muscles
of the arms, bring the hands, with the
fists still clenched, close to the Shout

to the shoulders by bending the elbows.
Repeat from is to 20 times morning

Exercise 2. Stand erect with both
arms stretched over your head, palms

Now touch the shoulder blades with
your flngertips until you feel the flabby
muscles underneath the upper arms pull
taut. Repeat is to 20 times morning
and evening
! Exercise 3. Women with fiabby arms
often find that an ugly little lump of
fat forms on the back, just between the
shoulder blades. To remove it stretch
the arms out straight on either side, on
level with the shoulders, and then
swing them round and round with a
rotary movement, just as If turning a
skipping rope. and keeping the shoulders
well back all the time. Repeat 20 to
80 times as though you were skipping
forward and the same number Of times
reversing the arm position as though
you were skipping backward. Then
swing the arms windmill fashion, TAX

arm backward in wide circles. Repeat
20 times, reversing the arm position by
taking the right arm backward and the

Exercise 4. Grasp the ends of a
medium-sized Turkish towel with the
hands, arms down in front. Now swing
the towel over the head, bring the arms
down over the shoulders at the back,
finishing with the hands and folded
towel BEND the lower part Of the waist

Cheerful About a Felon.

The plight of the man Mark Twain

ache complicated with inflammatory
rheumatism was sad, I'll admit, yet
there Is something to be said for the
gink who has felon Of the right in
dex finger and has to push a type
writer couple miles day by the two
Anger system.
Lest We forget, the characteristic
symptoms of felon are throbbing pain
swelling and tenderness which are lin
tied to the distal phalanx. The distal
phalanx Is the one farthest away, yet
how near 1t seems when one has felon.
The owner of the felon may or may
not recall recent penetration Of the
ringer by silver, pin or something, but
just IS likely he can't remember any
such injury, and anyway, why bring
that up now? If the doctor can't find
tiny scar to show some such recent
break Of the skin, all right, that needn't
alter the plan of treatment. But that's
the only way felon can happen, that
Is, by infection through some break of

thumb. Even in this hour of some
thing or other I can concede that a
felon on thumb may be a trifie worse
than one on the index finger. say In the
case OF q waiter. But that's all I do
Concede.
These felons are frank and open.
When they happen there is nothing
undermined or insiduous about them:

this gives spiral effect which is UNI
desirable.
Sometimes the ribbon is couched
down instead of being used for the
Stitchery itself. For this embroidery
fine sewing silk matching the color of
the ribbon or its predomirating hue is
favored The stitches should be small
and go straight across the ribbon. These
stitches hold the ribbon securely to the
lines of a pattern being worked. Do
not sew through the ribbon, but across
it. The thread should be at right angles
to the ribbon. 1t shows less thus, and
holds the ribbon down better than any
other method.
Added beauty is given the needlework
when fancy ribbon is used. The ribbon
may be shaded or have a fancy sell
wedge, or metal strands may be intro
duced into the weaving. One ribbon
effectively employed had a yellow silk
along one edge which gradually
changed to rose along the other. 1t is
sometimes effective to couch with metal
thread, with yellow silk contrasting with
the color of the ribbon, or with black
silk. Reserve in the work is necessary
when variety is instilled in such a
manner.
Ribbon embroidery is seen to ad-
vantage on cushion tops and bags. 1t
is not used on table linen, as it does
not launder well. It should be dry
cleaned. In this it is not different
from many other types of embroidery.

Ribbon embroidery is again beginning
to put in an appearance. There are
two types of this work, one in which
narrow ribbon is used for outlining as
If it were floss, and the other in which
the ribbon is wide and is used like silk
for filling in motifs. The wide ribbon
motif is still of the past. 1t is the
narrow ribbon stitchery that is re-
appearing. This embroidery may or
may not be combined with other stitch
cry. The wide ribbon work is seldom
minus stitchery in some other medium.
The ribbon may be so very narrow
that 1t can be threaded into large size
embroidery needle and be used for the
actual stitches. These can be running
stitches in which the top stitch is long
and the under one very small, indeed.
The effect of one continuous unbroken
line should be sought.
Outline stitch is another favorite for
narrow ribbon embroidery. In this a
continuous line is obtained, although
the effect is not as even as when the
running stitch is employed. In outline
embroidery there are small back
stitches. When a medium as wide as
ribbon, however narrow, Is used, the
double width of it shows 1t wherever
these back stitches are taken. These dis
cfepancies, If slight, can be of interest
in that they break the monotony of the
line. If the back stitches are carelessly
taken they lack interest and become
blemishes.
Do not attempt to keep the ribbon
perfectly straight and fiat. Let 1t twist
some. The ribbon catches the light
best in this position and the sheen sup
olies a lustre peculiar to this embroidery

Suddenly I thought I saw you looking
in through the crack of the door at the
end of the room, toward which was
looking. I said to B: There is C.,
looking through the crack of the door.
B, whose back was toward the door,
said: He can't be there; he would
come right In However, got up and
looked in the outer room, but there
was nobody there. Now, what we're
you doing last night at that timer"
The professor proceeded to relate
what he had done. They were both
astounded by what had happened.
Did Prof. C.. actually project his
double" to A? The testimony is not
altogether adequate, because his story
is unsupported. Yet though A was
unwilling to give Prof. James her YER
sion of the incident. from what he says
we are to assume that she admitted
that she was party to the experience.
A conservative view to take would
be that c established a telepathic con-
nection, and that this evoked a mental
image of him which was so powerful
as to make her think she saw him
through the door crack.
This in itself would be sufficiently
remarkable.

of the carelessness of persons in tying

The friction of the leather straps,

The upper arm underneath from the
armpit to the elbow is spot where un-
desired fat and fiabby muscles so often
spoil an otherwise shapely white arm.
Arms that are too plump can soon be
nodded and reduced to graceful con-
tours by regular daily exercise and
massage. The flabby underarm muscle
often accompanies fiabby shoulder and
chest muscles, so that more than merely
arm exercises are necessary to remedy
this beauty problem. Correct posture
must also be practiced regularly when
sitting, standing or walking.
Simple exercises which. along with
regular massage, will produce quick re-
