the additional walks proposed.
The express company will also
make some extensive additions to the
cement walks and platform space
around their ollice building.
KOUND HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS
WELL ALONG.
Tu'ew Walks' to Co in at the Depot at
Near Future.
The brick walls of the new round
house addition are about completed
I but there is still much work to be
done on the covering and tlie interior.
When finished this addition will al
most complete a full circle of stalls
for engines, a few of which are re
served for the big Mallets, nearly a
hundred feet in length. In the ce
ment and concrete work at the round
house something like 500 cubic yards
of gravel have been used and a pro
portional quantity of sand and other
material.
The next improvement to be under
taken by the railroad comvnnv while
not so expensive cs that at the round
nousc win make a much larger show
ing as far as outside appearances are
concerned. This is to be tilii addition
of 350 feet of cement walks at the
depot.
j There will be a 175 foot extension
at the eastern end and the same num
ber of feet at the western end of the
depot walks already laid. This will
give a length of walk sufficient to ac
commodate passenger trains all the
way from the engine to tHie rear coach
and regardless of which direction the
train may be headed. As it is now
when the day coaches arc stopped
alongside the present walk the pas
sengers from the rear coaefhes are '
Maybe This Story Is An Awful Lie
Cleveland, July 13. If it's blazing
hot in your town today this story is
an awful lie. But if the weather is
cool, it isn't.
F. L. Odenbach, St. Ignatius college
scientist, declared today that we're
not going to have any summer this
year. He blames it all on 25 spots
he has just discovered on the sun.
"It's the most spots I have ever seen
on the sun at one time," said the pro
fessor. It indicates abnormal weath
er conditions and probably means an
extremely cool summer.
"The. sun snots don't directly con
trol the weather conditions, but their
influence is electric nnd magnetic on
the atmosphere and this influence.
combined with local weather factors.
determines the weather.
! This year is the 100th anniversary j
of the country's famous summerless
year of 1816. In that year there were
killing frosts each month and corn
for seed sold for $7 a bushel. That
would mean about $28 a bushel this
year, by comparison.
"None of the sun spots are visiblo
to the naked eye, yet they can be pho
tographed. One of these bigger ones
has a diameter of about 1,000 miles
and covers the whole eastern and cen-,
tral portion of the United States.
"The spots are eruptions on the
sun's surface, are gaseous and prob
ably flare out from the sun a hundred,
or two hundred thousand miles."

Mobilization Exhausts Labor !
Chicago, July 13. Whatever thecf- j
feet may have been on other cities, the
mobilization of the American militia j
finds Chicago facing a serious skilled
and unskilled labor shortage today.:
The extensive employment of women ;
in what heretofore have been ex-j
clusively masculine fields is not con
sidered 'improbable nor remote. ,
Labor employment bureaus are:
swamped with demans for male help I
of all kinds. Want ad columns are
jammed with offers of jobs. Mors ,
than 1,000 regular manual labor jobs .
are waiting for men to take them. Al- ;
most ai equal number of skilled labor I
jobs are open.
The demand for office SMnistauts.
managers, clerks and men of trades is
far in excess of the supply. Hun
dreds of first-class jobs have gone
begging ever since Undo Sam's call
for state troops took the militiamen ,
from their benvhes, desks and offices .
and the prosecution of regular busi
ness in many instance? seriously hai
been interfered with.
