Staining Glass The art of colored glass has been lost and refound guarded and stolen so many times during the history of civilization that it seems almost im possible to say anything new on glass staining Yet a process has been dis covered for making the stained glass used in windows which is a departure from anything known to the old timers The glass first receives its design in mineral colors and the whole is then fired in a heat so intense that the col oring matter and the glass are indis solubly fused The most attractive fea ture of this method is that the surface acquires a peculiar pebbled character in the heat so that when the glass is in place the lights arc beautifully soft and mellow Swimmers the Prey of Eels A remarkable story of the seizure of swimmers by eels comes from New Zealand A stream in New Zealand was a favorite bathing place because the current was swift and strong Time after time the bather would be gin to shriek and splash on the sur face would disappear before help could reach him and when his body had been found it had invariably been eat en by eels The cause of the fatality remained shrouded in mystery for a long tim but at length the true cause was discovered that whilst the swim mer was almost stationary in the rapid stream a huge eel would seize him by the foot or leg and drag him down be neath the surface Knew It Was an Idle Threat Then he cried tragically then you reject me And for my hated rival Yep she answered coldly but col loquially Yep to both questions Ha Then I owe the fellow a grudge I have long owed him 10 And now I will pay both debts at once and he will fall dead Lighting his cigarette at the hall gas jet he departed with a mocking laugh But the beautiful girl was not alarm ed She knew he could never carry out his devilish scheme For she knew that he never had 10 at once in his whole life JvatraigJUMJix tf Arizona County Jail Is Blasted Cut of a Mountain of Solid Quartz Rock When the authorities oE Graham county Arizona decided to look about for a place in which to confine crimi nals they found a natural depression in the side of a hill This was enlarged into what might be called an artificial cave divided into four compartments The cave was excavated parallel to the Bide of the mountain in which it was made and daylight admitted by holes blown out of the wall with explosives the windows being guarded by a net work of heavy steel bars The en trance to the depression was also closed in the same manner and a vestibule or porch of masonry built out from it to provide quarters for the sheriff and his assistants This vesti bule is also divided into compart ments which are connected b7 gales of steel bars The only way of enter ing the prison is through the vestibule of masonry and in order to escape the inmates would have to cut thoir way through three sets of bars whih are an inch in thickness as the win dows are so high up above the rock forming the floor of the cells that they could not reach them It is necessary however to have a very secure place as the criminals in this part of the xsusosuar In Our Mens Clothing Department In one section of our north window you
