SHARK TO FURNISH LEATHER
Investigation Has Shown That Shin of
Sea Monster Has a Very Def
inite Value.
Although tho personal popularity of
sharks is not likely soon to Increase,
their existence will be more compla
cently accepted If the work already
done through the agency of the United
States government continues Its prog
ress, toward proving sharkMcln a good
substitute for leather. The effort was
begun In 11)10, and It has been shown
that the skin of a shark can bo tanned
by newly dlcoored processes with n
result mm li like a superior grade of
leather. Comuieiclul tanneries are be
ginning to tin n out the product. Shoes
made of It aie being worn; and, like
the pig, of which everything Is utilized
hut the Miucnl, tho shark has been
found generous hi by-products. The
jureau of standards Is now experiment
ing with slunk leather to determine Its
durability, tensile strength, and wear
ing and water-resisting qualities; hut
enough has been done to Indlcntc thut
many persons In the future will go shod
In shark leather, and that only those
who are told will know the difference.
Now Yorkers nwoko ono morning to
Jlnd In their breakfast hendllncs tho
news that a zealous park employee had
discovered signs of disintegration on
tho surface of tho city's most treasured
'antique Cleoputrn's Needle. I'hoto
graphs revealed that the monolith was
peeling, large pieces of biindstono hav
ing fallen from tho tall shaft, carrying
with them part of tho prized hiero
glyphs. London's twin Bister of Cleopatra's
Needle was reported as resting com
fortably and cnduiingly on tho banks
of tho Thames, nnd tho rlvnl port won
dered whether a piepaiutlon would bo

How Bridges Breathe.
T.Ike us mortals, big steel bridges
feel the changes In the weather, and
must lie built to withstand them, or
perish.
In the bent of summer n bridge is
appreciably longer than it Is In winter,
and at various times of tho year It
may be longer on one side than on the
other, as when a hot sun plays on ono
Hank, and a cold wind on the other.
Tlie "breathing apparatus" of a
bridge consists of rollers under tho
feet at one end m that the end can
move to and fro freely according to
the expansion and contraction of the
huge gliders.
l'rolMon is made in tlie case of the
Foith bridge for ns much as two feet
of "breathing" of tlio Immense cantilevers.

"If I do what yon nslc me. and tho
company llnds It out, 111 lose my Job."
"Then I will get jnu n better one."
"I know you pretty near i tin things,"
admitted Mnik Senton, telcphoiio lino
repairer, ''but you tiro asking me to
break tho rules of the company."
"I'll mend them up later," nlrlly de
clared Jasper Wot roll. "If It ever does
get out the men will call It cleverness,
and tho ladles will hall you ns a loyal
emissary of the love god, Cupid."
Jasper Worrell, malinger of the local
telephone line, had got the devoted
Senton his position, but be wns nskliig
his humble pensioner to do n good
deal for him. Jarvls had directed him
to tap n wire lending Into the home of
Hubert llroolcs, to carry It to n certain
secluded closet In the house, nnd put
hi n receiver, nil tho time posing us
a workman engaged In testing nnd re
pairing tho regulnr phone wire.
Here was the Munition: The father
of charming Hlnnche Hrooks had been
defeated In ihc locnl mayoralty con
test the year prolous by Jasper's
father, llltterly llroolcs had resented
the success of his political rlvnl. He
refused to spoulc to any of thu Worrell
family. When he heard that young
Worrell and his daughter had been
seen together on tho street, ho com
niunded her forthwith to hnvo no fur
ther communication, with the son of
his enemy, Blanche wns a dutiful
daughter. Jasper was nil but engaged
to her. Hlnnche met. him Just onco
nnd sorrowfully ndvlsed him that their
dream of happiness was blighted.
"Never, no; abandon the thought 1"
declared Jarvls In his forceful, con
lldent way. "Leave It all to me, dear
Blanche. I've won you, undeserving
us I urn to bo .so blessed, I'll win over
your father, too. Don't talk over that
rubbish of patiently waiting two years
until you lire of age. Leave It all to
me. Within two months I .shall bo
coming to see you three times a week,
with I-'nther Brooks smiling a wel
come."
"But never to see you for eight
wholo Ions: weeks I" murmured
Blnnche. "Never to talk with you I"
"Dismiss that erroneous Impres
sion," directed Jarvls buoyantly. "Wo
shall hnvo the sweetest, coziest, most
blissful chats every evening of our
lives nnd four times a day, If you
wish," Insisted Jarvls, "and here's my
plan."
It was n during one, and It quite
scared Blanche. A secret telephone
wns to be Installed In a secluded room
next to, nnd communicating with
Blnnche's owii upartment. All the art
and science expert Mark Senton could
employ wns to be utilized In having a
phone with no bell call. A mere click
would call Blanche ut the other end
of the line at an ngreed on time. Thu
only caution to be exercised was to
be certain that In talking to one an
other no one should overhear them.
And .so Mark Senton, selecting an
occasion when Mr. Brooks was absent
from home, duly lustnllcd the secret
telephone, ami all Blanche had to do
was to lock the door of her room, go
Into the novt apartment, give the .sig
mil and In low-oiced converse thoe
two rex oiled In renewed low making
and tenderness.
All this brought them no closer In
actual contact, nor did It .seem to
Blnnche that her stubborn, determined
father was being miide more approach
able. "Don't worry on that hcore,"
encouraged Jarvls one afternoon. "I'm
winking hard on that end of the prop
osition. Be nt the phone at 8 o'clock
to tho minute this evening, and I'll
be ready to announce the program
that Is going to win over Father
Brooks In n jiffy."
Through the misadventure of a de
lay at the house of a girl friend taken
suddenly III Blanche did not get home
by 8 o'clock that evening. At Just
that hour Mr. Brooks, passing through
the upper hall, noticed an open win
dow' in her room nnd the rain blow
ing In. lie entered nnd closed It, and
Just then n suspicious sound directed
hint to tlie unused apartment beyond.
A series of clicks echoed, then Indis
tinct soumK us of some one speaking
In a low tone.
"Hello!" ejaculated Mr. Brooks In
iiiiiazeinenl, as. tracing tlio sound, he
discovered the secret telephone behind
un old wardrobe. Hu picked up tho
receiver. At onco the words wero
swept to his .startled hearing!
"It's all tight, Blanche. I've fixed
over) thing. My father declines to run
again for mayor. I hnvo got In my
work with the fusion people on a com
promise cnndldute. As I can swing
nil our workers I enn elect Father
Brooks. I'm ono of the committee
coming to apprise him of the situa
tion In the next hour. Kiss your
Jarvls, dear, flood by."
" 'Father Brooks!' 'Kiss your Jar
vls 1' The audacious young reprobnte."
And there Hubert Brooks smiled. He
rather cjiuckled as ho discerned the
cleverness of stills Irresistible son of
an enemy who had undermined his
ruHcuhiuK'obNtliincy.
Ho was smlllntt'stlll ns Blanche, hur
rying and hrVufhloss, nearly ran Into
him In the next room.
"Oh, father 1" she gasped.
"'Oh, father 1'" chortled her sire.
