This is not usually done on Sundays except In the United States uuuns. Opinions as to the verdlox of the Jury about the federal building differ wide ly. Many believe that the length of time thnt the Jurymen have had the case under consideration would go to Indi cate, everything considered, that there Is very liktdy to be. a disagreement. Others believe, however, that there will be an acquittal and mora particularly In the verdict of Robert A. Booth. Malarkey With Els Pajamas.

The companv' has prior water rights but In the past has had a surplus of water. It was decided to divide the water with ranchers who would pivt land In cultivation, the division to con tinue until any time It was found neces sary to have the whole supply for min ing purposes.

For want of white mice, H lives were risked on board the British submarine A9, when leaking pe trol fumes filled the little craft during the naval maneuvers In the English channel. This view is held bv the 1ack- les of the submurino service, who looked upon tlio while mice, formerly carried in every British Hubmarine, as some thing moro than mascots. Because they are extremely sensitive to petrol lunies, tlio little creatures aero ordered to be carried in every suff- marlno as a safeguard against such mis- naps as that or submarine Av. A few eeks before the accident, tho admiralty had withdrawn the mice, on the pretext that their warning squeaks could very easily be drownei by the rattle of the engines. A met hanlual device was promised to take their place, but meanwhile nothing was tiono until tne asphyxiation or i men on board the A9 came as a strong argument In favor of the despised mice being better than nothing.
