BAKER & SON Where Quality and Prices Meet You ....59e, 89¢ (N AND ABOUT THE CITY Discharge of Oil Waste Inte Water Should Be Stopped The ever-increasing practice of dis- charging ofl and tar wastes into streams and harbors, and its effect on fish and fish industries, is strikingly set forth in a pamphlet issued by the bureau of fisheries, The fatal contam- ination that results from polsonous substances rejected by gas plants and petroleum distilleries, or dumped from tankers and oil-burning ships, must result in huge losses of food prod- ucts and money. First it should be distinctly understood that the presence of a minute quantity of poison is suffi- cient to kill, For example, the Ameri- can sunfish, though highly resistant to poisons, will dle in about an hour in water four to five parts per million of phenanthene or naphthalene, or five parts per million of hydrogen sulphide or seven parts per million of ammonia ; and, of course, very much weaker solu tions will kill if the fish are exposed to them for several days, Aside from this direct toxle effect, such pollution repels the fish from ap- prouching shore at the only tlme when they might be caught; sickens or kills bottom-dwelling species such as oys- ters; kills, by suffocation, floating eggs and delicate larvae; destroys minute plants and animals on which the lar- vae and adult fish subsist; affects aquatic life by diminishing the aera- tion of the water, and destroys spawn- ing grounds. Even petroleum products that contain no poisonous substance soluble in water may, by agitation, form a deadly emulsion that will kill in five minutes. Tarred roads also send thelr poisonous washings into the smaller streams. Remedial measures may be found in the commercial re- covery of oils from drainage water, in the prevention of gashouse and refin ery pollution with an increased use of wastes, and in regulations forbid ding the dumping of oil from ships in harbors or near spawning grounds and feeding areas.—Scientific American, ALL IN SCHEME OF NATURE Why Human Beings and Lower Ani- mals Have Lobes Is Explained by Scientists. What we commonly call the ear— that is, the external part—is little more than a “telephone réceiver,” ad it were, to the inner or true ear, with which all hearing is done. Of this “receiver” the lobes form an essential and necessary part. In Nature’s won- derful way they are made to serve & very important purpose in keep ing the drum of the ear properly stretched. Many waves of sound would be lost to the real ear were it not for the lobe. The lobes of hunted animals, such as the hare or stag, point backward, and of hunting animals, such as the dog, forward, Originally, it is be lieved, our human lobes were movable, but, as with the advance of civiliza- tion, man had to depend less and less upon his sense of hearing for protec- tlon against danger, the muscles con- nected with our lobes fell into disuse and resulted in the lobes becoming practically a fixed part of our hearing machine, How Atmosphere Affects Stars. Atmospheric changes have a very marked effect upon the twinkling of The horn of plenty and the trump of fame make a mighty pleasant duet, Nell—"He is effeminate to his finger tips.” Belle—“Manicures his own nails, eh?” The theatrical manager isn’t the only fellow who spends all his money to make a show, It's a cinch to bear each other's burdens. They are always so much easier than our own. We should all speak well of the dead, but the widow who marries a second time needn't rub it in. You never can tell.

Some water Power. Thirty-one per cent of all water power in this country is on sites with- in the national forests, while all that on sites outside the national forests is dependent upon water arising in them, says the American Forestry as- sociation, which is fighting to keep the control of these forests out of the hands of the Interior department. The Western mountains contain 72 per cent of our total potential water power and of this, 42 per cent is in the west- ern forests, This power is being rapid- ly developed. The United States for- est service has In force 174 power transmission lines and 197 power prot- ects, with minimum discharge capuc- tty of 899,000 horse power. ee the stars. For example, It is found to increase as the temperature falls and as the barometer rises, An experience of nearly forty years, says a writer in Conquest, showed M. Montigny that with the quantity of moisture in the air the twinkling of the stars increased so markedly as to serve for a useful prognostic of rain. Cyclonic conditions generally are found to promote it, whilst it is extremely sensitive to mag: netic disturbances. Humboldt on one occasion in the tropics found that the stars shone with a mild and planetary light; their scintillation was scarcely sensible at the horizon. This, it is apparent, was due to the great homo- geneity of the atmosphere, whereby the extremely fine pencil of light from the stars was not interfered with by unequally dense strata. Why Granny Was Pleased. That even a public survey may pos- sess a humorous aspect Is evidenced by a story told by a westerner. It appears that the boundary line between portions of Illinois and In- diana was long in dispute and that at length the government authorized a resurvey, which was duly executed. The old homestead of Granny Garver, one of the early settlers, was found to le in Iinois, about eleven feet from the Indiana side. Granny expressed herself as much pleased, remarking that she had “heard tell Injianny was @ powerful unhealthy state.” Why No Rule for Sleep. A London doctor who has given the matter some extended Investigation has come to the conclusion that there is no rule to be followed about hours of sleep, and there is no reason, he says, why a woman should have more sleep than a man, One person gets as much benefit out of a habitual five hours’ sound sleep as many another derives from eight or nine hours’ lighter slumber, for quality of sleep ts as important as quantity, @ point that ts often overlooked, Why He Had to Move On “Look here, you,” said the town sergeant of Plunkville, “you don’t work and had better move on to some other burg.” “There ain't no law you can arrest me under.” “Never wind that.

The Britannica describes the anchor as “an instrument of tron or other heavy material used for holding ships or boats in any locality required, and preventing them from drifting by winds, tides, currents or other causes, This is done by the anchor (after it is let go from the ship by means of the cable) fixing itself In the ground and there holding the vessel fast. * * * The most ancient anchors consisted of large stones, baskets full of stones, sacks, filled with sand, or logs of wood loaded with lead. Of this kind were the anchors of the ancient Greeks, which, according to Apollonius Rhod- ius and Stephen of Byzantium, were formed of stone; and Athenaeus states that they were sometimes made of wood. Such anchors held the vessel | merely by their welght and by the Trictioh slong the pottom. iron was afterward introduced for the construc tion of anchors, and an improvement was made by forming them with teeth or ‘flukes’ to fasten themselves into the bottom. * * * ‘The invention of the teeth is ascribed by Pliny to the Tuscans, but Pausanias gives the credit to Midas, king of Phrygia.” THE RIGHT WAY. | President?” “By degress,”* ay. | “How did you get to be college | A Shipment of Shoes at a Bankrupt Price Fortunately for us our buyer secured a lot of shoes from a bankrupt sale and has no- tified us that 1000 pairs are being shipped at once. f ; ket at the same low FIGURE giving our customers a rare buying opportunity, is to place these on the mar- The lot comprises a big lot of men’s work shoes, children’s service shoes, women’s durable gunmetal weights as well as many dressy numbers that you will find to advan- tage to buy.
