Don’t Let It Happen Again! Who ever heard of water running up hill or a child that “warbles” when biting on a stone? Why, no one! But everybody hears of the wonderful qualities of Mascot and Gold Medal flours as a. bread maker, and prize winners. These two brands secured first prize at our last count; fair. There is a reason. . Hard biscuits? Then don’t let it happen again, use either Mascot or Gold Medal flours. Phone 33, Schwandt & Marin. Glass In the Making. The manufacture of glass antedates authentic history. It s only about seventy-five years, however, since its true character was ascertained. It is now generally conceded to be a salt—a chemical compound resulting from the union of an acld with a base. Theacld is silica, the same that is found in quartz or the quartz particles of sand; hence the use of sand in its manufac- ture. The base may be potash (or soda), together with alumina and lime, or lead may take the place of lime. Lime makes a hard glass and one less susceptible to actds and suited to-win- dows and chemical purposes; lead & softer, more fusible and more lustrous article, suitable for optical instruments. All aclds act to some extent on glass, easpecially if the latter has an excess of alkali in it. Even wine may cor- rode the bottles whereln it is contain- ed. The molsture of the air often dis- €olves out the alkall, causing the rain- bow-like colors (iridescence) of som windowpanes, - The Telephone Voice. The voice heard over the telephone is a mechanical reproduction of the a speaking tube or megaphone, where the sound waves produced by the speaker at one end are transmitted directly to the other end. In the tele- phone the diaphragm of the transmit- ter is caused to vibrate by the sound waves produced by some one talking Into the transmitter mouthpiece. This diaphragm is connected with a small receptacle having a flexible front and partially filled with granular carbon. This carbon offers resistance to elec: tric current in proportion to the me- chanical pressure brought upon it The diaphragm, therefore, in vibrat ing produces a varying pressure against the carbon. The carbon is Included in an electric circuit, so that the variations in its resistance ‘will vary the current strength in the cir- cuit. c Quarters and Dollars. Miss Dunavan, teacher of the East Bemidji School, and her brother, Da- vid, returned to this city Saturday Jack—Why did sou give nb your. bachelor quarters?

As us- ual, they are keen to the tastes and interests for their patrons.. In con- nectiop with their film will be shown & comedy entitled “The Troubles of A. Butler.” The Island of St. Helena. St. Helena has been an island of tragedies—tragedies that have been lost sight of walling over the Cor- slcan. On the second day of my visit the governor took me by carriage road through the turns over the island. At . one point of our journey the road, in winding around spurs and ravines, formed a perfect W within the dis- tance of a few rods. The roads, though . tortuous and steep, were fairly good, \and T was struck with the amount of ;labor it must have cost to build them. The air on the heights was cool and bracing. Tt is said that since hanging for trivial offenses went out of fashion no one has dled there, except from falling over the cliffs in old age or on them from the -steep mountains! ‘Witches at one time were persistent at St. Helena,-as with us in America in the days of Cotton Mather. . At the present day crime is rare in the island. The Ancient Dragon. The pterodactyl, whose fossil re- mains have been found in the chalk at Cambridge, England, and elsewhere, with a very varied spread of wings, have reached twenty-five feet, is al- most idenncal with the dragon of fable. A batlike creature, with an elevated body and long neck ending in an absurdly small head with a por- tentous beak, it could run very swift- ly, was a fish eater and could swim, or it flew by means of huge membra- = | others like it, used for this purpose by from being crushed by stones rolling ot not which in the largest specimens must ! chronicle.
