SOMETHING DOING, AFTER ALL Skillful Mlccr Tell Whnt He Cnn Do nml la Hired on the Spot, Mr. Underdone Cutlets, proprietor of the Spoedy Cafe, was notoriously hard hearted.

"I'm not a beggar," retorted the hun gry man. "I'm willing td scrub floors or wash dishes. I'm Just out of prison, and nobody will give me work. I'm starving."

I used to take a hundred dollar bill and split it In two with a raror. Then I'd take a one and spilt that and then paste the halves together, so I'd have two centuries. If the sucker didn't look on both sides. It took 'em five years to catch me." Mr. Cutlets beckoned the ex-prisoner behind the bar. "Order what you like on tho houe," ho whispered. "I've got a steady Job for you. I'll give you thirty a week to slice the ham for my sandwiches." Llppln cott's Magazine.

This Invention renders It possible to paint several different scenes on one canvas. When the light on the stage Is changed the decorations also change. A panel was exhibited at the Moscow Artistic theater which represented a scene with beautiful autumn tints In the red light of a sunset. The light was changed; the scenery changed " at the same time, and a nymph was discovered in front of a tree, bathed in moonlight. The Invention Is based on the physical law concerning the complementary col ors of the spectrum. It is claimed that wall paper printed by this method Is one color in daytime, different during twi light and changes again by moon or lamplight. The changes can be brought about by switching electric lights, Con sular Report. A Town now.
