Mr. and Mrs. John Murray with

Cameo Carving.
Cameo carving is by no means a
dead art and is being taken up by
many young men and women of this
city as a fascinating recreation. It is
rather an expeusive fad, and it is in
teresting fb watch one of these skilled
amateur craftsmen at his bench exe
cuting a difficult model. All the tools
used by tht carver are .but a handful.
The worker sits before a wheel turned
by a pedal mid I tie little, pointed in
'struinents. resembling tliwse used ti.v
dentists, are placed in the corner
the small table on which the worker's
hand rests while lie holds the shaped
stone or shell beneath the needle-like
drills. The drills vary in thickness
according to the portion of the design
to be executed. On account of tin
high nervous tension the amateur carv
er works but a short time each day -New

The drys estimate that the city
will go for prohibition by a majority
of 400.
After a careful canvass of the regis
tration lists and the placing of all
doubtful votes in the columns of the
wets, the prohibition forces believe
they still have enough of a mojority
to control the election and to place
the city in the dry column.
They also estimate that there will
be 1600 votes', at least, cast at the
forthcoming election on the question
and that a large per centage of these
will be women. Duplications have
been found in the registration lists
and men have registered this year
whose names were on the hooks at
the last general election. In order to
be sure of the ballot at this time, they
have again registered and have dup
licated the lists.
Allowing for this and all chances of
challenging, the drys contend that
they are yet in the majority and that
they have the elecion in their hands.

by .the prohibition forces in the city.
OF STANDARD SIZE
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 22. For
the purpose of taking action that will
result in the standardization of the
size and shape of fruit boxes, a score
of box manufacturers, fruit growers
and fruit dealers are meeting today
at the Oregon hotel. The special
meeting was called at the instance of
the Northwestern Association of Box
manufacturers and representatives
from Oregon, Washington and Cali
fornia are in .attendance.
The forenoon session was given en
tirely over to the discussion of the
various kinds and sizes of boxes now
in use and a resolution presented by
O. C. Fenlason of Raymond, Wash.,
calling upon the association to rec
ommend the use of standardized pack
ages. In "presenting his resolution, Mr.
Fenlason declared that there are 72
different sizes of fruit packages be
ing manufactures on the Pacific coast
today.
He then explained a plan for stand
ardization whereby this number can
lie reduced to 3 sizes of boxes, all of
which will fit in the same size crate.

SCIENCE AND SPINNING A TOP.
That the Earth Revolves on Its Axil
May Be Proved by a Simple Experi
ment With the Gyrostat Phenomena
5 of Rapidly Revolving Objects.
Spinning's top Is not always child's
play, although It has generally been re
garded as a juvenile sport Once In
England, top whipping was practically
ordered by law. There was a huge
top formerly provided In every village
to be whipped 'in frosty weather that
tlie peasants might be kept warm by
the exercise and out of mischief while
they could not work. Shakespeare In
"Twelfth Night" says. "His brains
turn like a parish top." Ben Jonson
in "New Inn" writes. "He spins like
a parish top." and Beaumont and
Fletcher have "dances like a town top
and reels and hobbles." Evelyn, the
diarist, speaking of the uses of willow
wood, says that It was ordered that
"the great town tops should be made
thereof."
Of late years, however, science has
taken a hand in spinning tops with
fruitful results. From spinning tops
we can learn many Interesting and
valuable things. For example, we can
prove that the earth revolves on its
axis'and calculate at what speed.
The phenomena of spinning bodies
are extremely interesting. If you'throw
your hat Into the air. but without spin
ning it. it will fall perhaps on one side,
perhaps on the other, but If you give It
a spinning motion before sending it
into the air it will always come down
the same side down as It went up. The
same thing is true of coins and in fact
of all objects spun in this manner. A
knife, if merely thrown Into the air,
may come down at any angle, but If
held point down and sent spinning into
the air it will on falling stick its point
into the floor invariably.
Other bodies acquire rigidity when
spun rapidly. Thus a piece of chain
if placed on a wheel and made to re
volve rapidly wi'i form a perfect circle
and if thrown off the wheel suddenly
will roll .across the table or the floor
just like a solid hoop until its speed Is
diminished, when it will fall into a
huddled mass.
It is a strange fact that spinning
bodies always tend to point to the
north star the pole star. Gently,- but
firmly, they seem to tug at their moor
ings in an effort to assume the angle
that will point them in that direction.
Once they have attained it they- do not
vary.
If. now. yon want to prove the rota
tion of the earth by means of a spin
ning top you can do so as follows:
Provide yourself with a gyrostat capa
ble of being driven by electricity so
that it can run for twenty-four hours
or more without stopping. Set this go
ing and point it to the north or pole
star It will soon assume that direc
tion. Now. as the axis of the top is
pointed in a certain direction (say the
north wall of the roomt and stays
there, without ever moving, this will
be a guide to you to check off your ob
servations And as you watch yon will
notice that in six hours' time the top
will point to the west and six hours
later to the south, six hours later to
the east, and at the conclusion of the
twenty-four hours it will have complet
ed the circle and will again be point
ing due north. It will have completed
the circuit of the four walls of the
room
What does this mean? It means that
the room has revolved "round the top,
but as the room is fixed to the solid
earth it implies that the whole earth
has revolved round the top, which
alone remained stationary. Conse
quently we have proved by this' means
that the earth has turned once round
on its axis, and that it does so turn,
and that the heavens remain still and
stationary.
Many interesting astronomical dis
coveries have been made by the aid
of spinning tops, and the facts obtain-'
ed by their study have been applied to
the rotation of heavenly t bodies, the
earth included, and the "wabble" of its
axis has been calculated by this means.
In many ways, therefore, the spinning
top is a valuable scientific instrument

Effect of a Dream.
"The happiest dream I can recall,"
said a successful business man, "was
one I had ten years ago. , In It 1 was
with my good mother again, seated In
the old home church. She placed her
hand on my head and whispered. 'Son.
I am proud of you.- That little state
ment has kept me out of wrongdoing
more than all the sermons I have ever
beard and. I think, has made me a bet
ter man." Philadelphia Record.
As Values Are Judged.
"Great Scott, woman: Are you try
ing to ruin me?"
. "Why. Henry: You don't even know
Vvbat I paid for the gown."
' "I know that any gown that looks
as bad as that one costs more than 1
ean afford to pay." Life.

The Name of Snooks,
The surname Snooks by no means
seems to be an imposing cognomen,
but as a matter of fact It Is a name
of great antiquity and one of which'
nobody should be ashamed. In reality
It is a contraction of "Sevenoaks." It
was first corrupted to Sennocc, which
in turn was corrupted to Snooks of today.

As blithe as blithe can be.

And care less of Its ways.
For where the dog star never glows
I while away my days.

Down In a coal mine, underneath tnt

At every shift, be It soon or late,
I haste my bread to earn.
And anxiously my kindred watch
And wait for my return,'
For death that levels all alike.
What e'er their rank may be.
Amidst the fire and damp may strike
And fling its darts at me. .
How little do the great ones care
Who sit at borne secure
What hidden dangers colliers dare.
What hardships they endure!
The very fires their mansions boast
To cheer themselves and wives
Mayhap were kindled at the cost
Of jovial colliers' Uvea
So cheer up, lads,' and make ye much
Of every Joy ye can.
But let yer mirth be always such
As best becomes a man.

' Then the brisk wind bums.
Solemn clouds enshroud the day
Blizzard beats his drums!
Then It is you shake and shiver

SONG OF THE WIND.
THE wind has a mind of his own;'
He's a lover and rover free;
He mutters among the clouds;
He flutters above the sea;
He ravages regions rare
Where savages leap In glee;
He strips the forests bare
In autumnal ecstasy
The wind Is a child of earth.
Of ocean, air and sky:
He Joys at. a youns world's birth;
He moans when the old ones die;
He can wob a nodding rose to rest
Or trample an empire downr
He's sceptered kine of everything.
And the high stars are his crown.

Same, but More of It
Sitting in a Broadway restaurant the
other evening were two young women
who had not met for four years. One
of them had grown stout, and the oth
er had admitted that she wouldn't have
recognized her old friend under ordi
nary circumstances. They sat silently
looking at each other for a moment
when the heavyweight inquired of her
friend:
"What are you thinking about?"
"I was just tfying to see whether
your expression is the same as It used
to be," said her friend.
"Just .the same," the girl with the
avoirdupois declared, "only more of it."

nights, beginning Monday, October 27. A special price matinee will be gi ven "Wednesday. Mail orders are now

HENRY MILLER'S
VARIOUS CREATIONS
In the past seven years Henry Mil
ler has appeared continuously and in
that long period he has played but
four roles. But these four roles from
a gallery of contrasting types and be
cause of the actor-manager's success
in them he has played nearly three
seasons each in two of them and two
seasons in the others. The charact
ers created by the notable actor range
from the serious role of "Stephen
Ghent," in "The Great Divide," to the
appealing "Neil Sumner" in "The
Rainbow." "Stephen Ghent" was a
man of the crude West vital with life
and hiding beneath the rough exterior
of a prospector the heart of a man.
"Neil Sumner" is a a man of worldly
polish, a bit cynical from loveliness,
a seeker for amusement among the
fast set, a man of sentiment. Both
the rough miner of "The Great Di
vide," and the polished man of the
world in "The Rainbow" are redeem
ed by love, the first by a wife, the
last by the love of a winsome daugh
ter. Mr Miller will be seen in his
newest role at the Heilig theatre for
three nights starting Monday. Many
believe it the best part he has played
in recent years.
AT THE HEILIG
The grand revival of the original
New York Casino Theatreall-star cast
of "The Chocolate Soldier" will be
the attraction at the Heilig theatre,
Eleventh and Morrison, three nights,
beginning Thursday, October 30th,
with special price matinee Saturday.
"The Chocolate Soldier" is dramat
ically descended from George Ber
nard Shaw's comedy satire, "Arms
'and the Man," and to the entertain
ment of romance, war and fun in Bul
garia, Oscar Straus has added a
wealth . of stirring martial rhythms,
dreamy intoxicating waltzes and rol
licking melodies full of joy and
laughter. - -
Mr. Whitney has spared neither
time nor expense in equipping this
season's production of "The Chocolate
Soldier" with everything calculated
to make it a monument to the com
posers and the management. The
costumes were made under Mr. Whit
ney's personal supervision by the tail
ors and needle workers of Bulgaria,
and they are faithful in the smallest
detail to the strange fashions of that
faraway land. Every feature of the
first two acts of the opera, represent
ing at length life in a Bulgarian house
hold, has passed the scrutiny of Mi.
Whitney who has made more than one
excursion into southwestern Europe
to obtain a first-hand knowledge of
the country and its people.
Antoinette Kopetsky will be seen
in the role of Nadina, in which she
made such an excellent impression in
the cities visited by the Whitney or
ganization. Charles Purcell is most
happily cast for the title role, and
fulfills to a tee the personality of the
Chocolate Soldier. Others in the
well-balanced cast are Lucille Saund
ers, Lottie Collins, George Tallman,
Francis J. Boyle and-Sylvian Langlois,
and a company of select musicians.

ANKERS AGAINST
HEW CURRENCY BILL
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Alexander
Gilbert, president of the Market and
Fulton National Bank of New York,
while indorsing the general principles
of the administration currency bill,
told the senate banking committee, to
day that the details hod not been ful-
ly worked out. Senator Hitchcock
had pointed out that it provided for
the appointment cf a receiver for any,
Fed- ral Ros-.rve bank v.hich might
violate the law.
. "In the event of the appointment of
wcf.ivcr tin t tae bank's closing 'tis
decrs." the sen;: tor sail, "the reserves
and f jnds of perhaps thousands of
banl-s throughout the ciisirist covered
by the reserve bank would be tied up
bev id hope. What woulJ be the re
sult?" '.
"The disaster would be gsneral." re
plied 'Gilbert,, "and that point empha
sizes the fact that you gentlemen
shouli not hasten consideration of :
this bill. There are many points of
that kind. You gentkmsnt don't un- ;
derstand this bill, the ouncry doesn't
understand it. You know only the
surface features of the bill.- A great "
deal cf study and deliberation will be -necessary
to make sure that v-hen this
vast mach'nery is. put. into cperation
it will work right. : Eeci.nse if it does
not work right- annoyance and even
disaster may result. v Time is not es
sential element. The old system is
working well. No evil portents ap

country to work out the details of
this bill to an absslute certainty." . ,
