The fact that they approve and recommend Gal-va-nite indicates that they recognize tliat its fire-resisting qualities make it desirable fur these big risks. YOU might as well have the benefit of this quality on YOUR roofs. Put on Gal-va-nite and you reduce the cost of your insurance. You will be taking the minimum risk of having your buildings catch fire. Yon will reduce your repair bills, as Gal-va-nite will lust as long as your building without painting or repairing. And, you will be getting a roofing every roll of which is absolutely guaran teed. We make Gal-va-nite in our own factories and know just how each roll is made and we have confidence enough in it to back it up with our guarantee. We use a heavy wool felt, triple coated on both sides with mineral asphalt. It is then coated on both sides with flaked Mica, a mineral product that never wears out It is this coating of Mica that insulates Gal-va-nite against the danger of sparks and fire brands. Gal-va-nite will not crack, and because it is pliable is easy to lay. One man with a hammer and Jack knife can do it.

Their Invention was nf prcnt benefit to the world In aiding to keep It rlenn but hnve you ever con sidered nnotlier phase of their use fulness? Since brooms have been In tise, Just so long linve broomsticks ever had a peculiar chnrm to boys. The average boy can extract more amusement from the broomstick than almost anything else with which he comes In contact, says People's Home Journal. Divide the players In pairs of teams of two, providing as many brootn-t-tlcks as there happen to be teams. Then direct them to group their re spective broomsticks as shown In the accompanying Illustration, each facing In the opposite direction. Then line them all up at the starting point ready to run the race. They're off! Hut don't think they its A New Broomstick Pastime. are going to do a 100-yard dash In record time. The funny part of the fore-and-aft race Is that the chap who faces the front Invariably tries to carry the boy facing the rear off his feet in his efforts to make speed. He forgets that It is Impossible for his team mnte to run backward half as fast as he runs forward, bo the chances are there will be a good many trip-tips and the race will be won by the pair who can best adapt their Irregular gait to each other in stead of the swiftest contestants. Now, as you will see, headwork Is more apt to win when It is coupled with the footwork than speedy foot work alone. So use your heads to regulate your feet; in other words, use good "teamwork," as they say In athletics, nnd you'll be successful In this broomstick pnRtlme of the "fore-and-aft race." ILLUSION WITH SPINNING PIN With Little Practice One May Suc cessfully Imitate Very Many Objects. Take a piece of rubber or elastic and run a pin through It as the figure shows. Twirling the ends of the elastic vertically between your thumbs and forefingers, and separat ing the hands In order to tighten It, you give the object a sufficiently swift rotation to enable It to produce the image of a drinking goblet, says Mag lea' Experiments. The Illusion Is the A Spinning Pin. more complete In proportion to the brightness of the pin and the light It shines in and the darkness of the background. In the picture, we sup pose the operator placed in a dark room, through a hole m the shutter of which a ray of sunlight creeps in and illuminates the pin. With a little practice you may suc ceed In Imitating very many objects. Try for yourselves and see what you can make. WHAT'S THE ANSWER? When Is a boat like a heap of snow? When It Is adrift.

PRINCESS MA.1Y NOW TYPIST King George's Only Daughter Learnt How to Operate Typewriter To Learn Stenography. Princess Mary, King George's only daughter, has recently learned to use a typewriter. There are two women typists at tached to the secretarial staff of Marl borough House, which is the king's residence, one of whom, at the prin cess' request, taught her how to op erate the machine. The princess proved an apt pupil and devoted her self so assiduously to the work that after a few weeks of Instruction and practise she was able to work a type writer at a fair rate of speed. During the reigning family's recre ation at Halmoral, Scotland, her royal highness will assist In typing some of her father's more private correspond ence. The princess Intends to learn ste nography also and Is keenly looking forward to helping her mother, Queen Mary, regularly with her correspond ence when the royal family is settled In Buckingham palace. This princess was the first royal personage to open an account In the postofflce savings bank, which she did three years ago on her tenth birth' day. VISITING.

TELLING AGES OF ANIMALS Not Yet Possible to Determine Age at Which Many Sea and Land Creatures Die. Some sea creatures and a few land creatures live so long that It has not yet been possible for man to deter mine the age at which it Is natural for them to die. It is stated, for In stance, that In 1497, In a European lake, a pike was caught which could not ave been less than 270 years old. There was a brass ring In the fish's lower jaw, and on the ring an Inscrip tion showing that the ring was placed there In the year 1230267 years pre viously. Again, if the bone plates In a whale's mouth, which are said to Increase regularly each year, are an Indication of the creature's age, as Is believed, then 400 years Is not an un usual lifetime for a whale. Even the common ring trout lives from 30 to 60 years. The natives of India believe that elephants live to be 300 years old. One was kept In captivity 150 years, and the age of the animal at the time of his capture was not known. Camels normally die between the ages of 40 and DO, horses from 20 to 30, oxen at 20, sheep at 8 or 9 and dogs at 12 or 14. Swans 100 years old and ravens older have been known, while pheas ants and ordinary chickens live 12 or 15 years provided they do not find their way to the frying pan many sea sons earlier.

In the middle of the floor, some lit tle distance apart, place sofa cushions, stools, umbrella stands, large vases, etc. From among the company choose some one who has never been "hoaxed" and ask him to first walk over the course around and between these articles, so as to fix in his mind their situation and distance apart He is then blindfolded and told to find his way carefully among them again so as not to touch anything. Very gingerly ho will do bo, and when triumphant over his success the bandage Is taken from his eyes, to his surprise, not an article remains or. the floor.

ZINC TOWN TO BE A MODEL Will Have Elevated Railroad and Many Advantages Is an Im mense Enterprise. According to well established re ports, Stephen S. Talmer of New York president of the New Jersey Zltu company of Pennsylvania, who hat been at Statlngton, Ta., for severa months personally supervising the construction of a now $10,000,000 plant, has also arranged with the Chestnut hlH railroad for an extension Irom Its present terminus at Kunkle :own, Monroe county, to Stroudsburg, to connect with the Lackawanna railroad. Mr. Palmer's project Is said to bo rivaled In America this year only by two other great Industrial organiza tions one at Gary, Ind., by the United States Steel trust, and the other at South Bethlehem, by Charles M. Schwab, For many years the parent plant of the New Jersey Zlno com pany of Pennsylvania was In South Hethlehem. The workmen of tho plant, many of whom 40 years ago camo here from FVanco and Helglum, to produce zinc, are the best and most respected craftsmen In the town. When, during the Hethlehem steel strike, the rioters assnulted workmen Indiscriminately, Mr. Talmer decided to abandon the plant there and concen trate his Industry In the rnlmerton nectlon, where tho new plant was lo Dated and the town named for him. The Immensity of tho enterprise can bo Imnglned from the fact that tho furnaces and reducers will be scattered along a range of five miles, and to adjust Itself to new conditions, the Central Railroad of New Jersey has decided to abandon two old sta tions nnd erect a new one In tho cen ter of tho works at a cost of 100,000. It hns been decided by Mr. Palmer to spend $1,000,000 to make an eleva ted railroad, first, for the safety of the workmen and their children, part ly for economic advantages and to preserve the beauty of the town. PARIS KNOWS THEIR VALUE Smooth, Clean Highways and Beauti ful Parks Are Profitable to the City. Tarts hns accepted unflinchingly tho doctrine that smooth and clean highways are a wise Investment, and that so long as the work Is done In a thorough and scientific manner, with an honest nnd Bklllful application of means to ends, the result Is worth having, regardless of cost. The ex ponse of maintaining, cleaning, and sprinkling the streets is greater than in any other European city; but the sort of pro-eminence that such a street service helps to secure Is profitable in a hundred Indirect ways, writes Harvey N. Sheppard, in the Outlook. Paris has by far the richest park equipment of any city In the world. The area of parks within an after noon's excursion Is 20,000 acres, while farther away are more extensive pub lic grounds, such ac Versailles and Fontainebleau. It Is Impossible to estimate the profits which Paris de rives annually from Its parks, boule vards and public buildings I)anker3 have estimated that Americans apenn upwards of 500 million dollars annu ally in foreign countries, and it Is safe to say that Paris receives at least one-fifth of this vast sum, the profits from which are as great as are tho profits from iork to Chicago, shoes to St. Louis, and beer to Milwaukee. The experience of Paris ought u convince the most skeptical that there Is no modern community of civilized men which cannot afford to provide the most perfect public appointments that technical and scientific knowl edge have discovered; will-made and clean streets, good water, proper drainage, convenient transit facilities, complete schools, and thorough sani tary organizations. No city should think itself rich enough to prosper without them, and no city Is so poor '.hat It cannot afford them. Urban Martyrs. At a church cupper a small boy was seen to turn pale and lean back In his chair. One of the waitresses asked what was the trouble, and learned that It was the stomach ache. "You poor little fellow, you won't be able to finiBh that nice supper, will you?" UHked the waitress. "Oh, yes I will," replied the boy, "It will have to ache a good di-al harder before I'll quit eat ing." Just this form of heroism will stand in the way of any wholesale movement to drive the excess of con sumers In the city back to the coun try to become direct producers. They will complain of high prices, low wages (about twl-e what the same grade of labor on farms receives), long hours of work (about two-thirds of what our grandfathers considered reasonable), difficulty of getlng work (when owners of farms are clamoring for help), high rents and board (when rent and bourd are offered In the coun try as a bonus beyond wages), but they are nowhere near the point of sufferlug at which they will be willing to leave the Incidental pleasures of city life Die tic and llyglonio Oa sette. v Well Protected.

Carter at a Nashville banquet was talking about campaign comrades. "Then there was Dash of Company A," he snld. "Dash had the reputa tion of being the nastiest tongued man in the regiment. "It was Private Dash, you know, who, out foraging one evening on a rich estate, came accidentally upon the owner's wife, a grande dame In evening dress. "Dash asked her for food. She re fused him. He asked again. But, still refusing, she walked away. "No," she said, "I'll give you noth ing, trespassing like this; 111 give you nothing. My mind is made up." " 'Made up. Is It?" said Dash. 'Like the rest of you, eh?'" Perfectly Harmless. A little girl of three years, whose father had bought her some firecrack ers and skyrockets for the Fourth of July, wanted to know what they were for.
