A new safety lamp for miners has been invented, comprising a battery and a metal filament lamp which are completely incased. The circuit of thr lamp is kept closed by means of t spring-pressed rod bearing against a light ring on the glasa casing of the lamp. Should the glass be broken, the ring would be sure to break or be displaced, opening the circuit of the lamp, so that there would be no dan ger of igniting the gases with the incandescent filament.

Why is it that a man's hat has a hand, and why is it this band has a bow invariably on the left aide? The answer is that there was a time when a piece of cloth adjusted to the head and, tied with a band of other material served for a headpiece. The reason the bow was always placed on the left side had its origin in the ract that in wielding a sword—an accom plishment possessed by nearly every one of consequence at one period of the world’s history—the bow or [ rosette. If placed on the right side would have been In the way.

HHI Presi dent Puts Quietus on Sensational Market Stories. Washington.—Concerning his re ported crusade against corporations President Taft Tuesday made public the following statement: “No statement was issued, either from the attorney general’s office or the White House, indicating that the purpose of the administration with reference to prosecutions under the anti-trust law is other than as set forth in the message of the president of January 7, 1910. “Sensational statements as if there were to be a new departure and an indiscriminate prosecution of import ant industries have no foundation. “The purpose of the administration is exactly as already Itated in the president's message.” The statement was issued after the president had talked with James J. Hill, railway magnate, and had re ceived information that prices were crumbling in New York under the various reports published. New York.—Reports of the govern ment’s anti-trust program and the belief that the government would win the decisions expected in the Ameri can Tobacco and Standard Oil cases before the supreme court caused a flood of liquidating sales which broke prices severely in all directions and caused great disorder in trading. “SOCIETY OF THE BANANA” Existence of © -^amzatlon t» Dovelooad at <*i 9>h«e Wa»»’* PrteMtw* lAtefcfc—fteHk was as w%% totoft «$> wA tto& t'wrfc'Ag At Avt 4a%v*a ft rt»% «p*t, ?* order bt> Psalre tire poftit, fe*4 pat fla bids tews toa» 36% octets pet pouted, tire government would «et have dealt with it MUST SETTLE FOR HER FURS Court Rules Divorced Wife of Howard Gould Must Pay Bill for $3,165.

Thousands have already gathered to pear forth thanksgiving for the word of hope. The danger Is far from over, bat the cry of •'Will the end never come?" has been answered. Practically all hope had gone when the Seine gained its last inch and then stood still. Rain began in driving downponr and great cakes of ice, lib erated from above, swept down and choked the river at the city’s bridges, spreading the flood over a quarter of the city. Honrlv danger still threatens the city. The water has begun to fall in all of the affluents of the Seine above : Paris, but the passage through the city is clogged by bridges and an im mense accumulation of drift, and the seething waters have spread over new areas. Choked underground rivers and sewers are bursting their confines and playing havoc with the street, swamp ing more cellars and threatening more foundations of buildings. President Fallieres and Premier Brl and drove In automobiles to the flood ed suburbs where distress is greatest, speaking words of comfort to the homeless and encouraging the soldiers and others engaged in salvage and res cue work. Nevertheless numerous pitiful In stances are cited of women and chil dren who had refused to leave their homes in the submerged districts, shrieking from their windows for - bread. It is difficult te present a mccta* picture of the geographical limits of the submerged area of Paris, but, roughly speaking, it is estimated that the surface inundated from the Seine, which must not be confounded with the overflow in the baca streets from burst sewers and subterranean rivers, covers about nine square miles, or one quarter of the city. a commission or doctors was sum moned Thursday to perfect plans to avert what they fear will be an epi demic of plague when the waters sub side.

ZEIGLER MINE TO REOPEN Colliery Which Ha3 Been Closed Since Disastrous Explosion Changes Ownership for $8,000,000. Duquoin, 111. — Local coal op«m ators have been notified that the famous Leiter coal property in Frank lin county east of here has changed hands. An eastern corporation, it is said, has purchased the property which is composed of the famous Leiter mine, the town of Zeigler and about 10,000 acres of coal lands. The consideration is $8,000,000. The new company is to open the mine in the near future and put it in shape for op eration. ' The mine at Zeigrer has been sealed up since early in 1908 when 28 men were killed in an explo sion. Eight of the bodies are still in the mine. Will Sue Standard Oil. Minneapolis, Minn. — Independent oil producers In session here say they will bring suits to recover $281,500, 000 from the Standard Oil Company. Square Hole Easily Bored Simple Explanation Disproves General Idea That Achievement Is an Impossibility. It would seem, on first thought, an impossibility to bore a square hole. In reality nothing is simpler. The basis of the operation is the fact that as a circle rolls on a straight line, the center describes a parallel straight line. For instance, the hub of a car riage wheel moves along at a con stant distance Jrom the ground. Hence if we cause a cutter situated at the center of a cylindrical shank to roll on a straight guide the cutter will trace out a straight line. If the guide be broken into four sides of a square the shank will roll on these four sides, one after the other, and the cutter will ream out an equal square. At the same time the motion of the tool is a rotary one, very similar to boring a round hole. The only trou ble is that as the shank changes from one side of the square guide to the ad jacent one there is a slight irregular ity in the motion, so that the corners of the square hole are not sharp, but slightly rounded. This rounding may be reduced to a minimum and it is not a serious objection in any case. Philosopher on Riches. No good man ever grew rich ail at once.—Publius Syrus. ill
