Pike* Pt#k'» Cyclopean Ey*. 1
A writer In the Technical World
Magazine, describing the Immense
light on Pikes peak, says:
"The venerable head of that most fa
mous of mountains, Pikes peak, has
been given an enormous eye. In Den
ver, seventy-five miles away, this eye
can be seen flashing to and fro on
clear nights, and In Colorado Springs,
fifteen miles away, the 'company' on
the front porch is likely to be shown
up in a bright light at any moment by
the cog railway's searchlight
"The giant light is 14.1T2 feet above
sea level and is capablp of flashing
signals over most of central Colorado.
It has been placed on a platform twen
ty-five feet above the summit house.
Current Is supplied by the turbines
that convert the power of the peak
streams into electricity. The search
light Is attached to a semaphore that
the operator moves at wi5, searching
out the dark beauty spots throughout
the region or touching upon sections of
Colorado Springs and even Denver and
Pueblo when the great banks of cloud
do not blanket the cities far below."
Lost Skill of Anolenta.
From the earliest periods of which
we have historical records one of
man's greatest problems has been to
lift heavy loads rapidly and efficiently.
Some of the greatest monuments of
antiquity were built under conditions
that Involved lifting of heavy pieces of
building material to great heights, but
how it was done we do not know to
this day. The manner in which the
great stones were raised in Egypt has
always been a mystery and probably
always will be. It is certain, however,
that the builders of these wonderful
monuments were possessed of mechan
ical contrivances that were lost In the
dark ages intervening between their
time and ours or they possessed pa
tience to a more remarkable degree
than Is exhibited in any race of men
at the present time.—Engineering Mag.

How Water Freeze*.
It used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond a certain depth. This depends
on a most curious^ fact—namely, that
water is at its heaviest when it reach
es 40 degrees F.—that is, 8 degrees
above freezing point On a frosty
night as each top layer of water falls
to 40 degrees it sinks to the bottom.
Therefore the whole pond has to drop
to 40 degrees before any of it can
freeze. At last it is all cooled to this
point, and then ice begins to form.
But ice is a very bad conductor of
heat Therefore it shuts off the freez
ing air from the big body of compara
tively warm water underneath. The
thicker it gets the more perfectly does
it act as a great coat, and that is why
even the Arctic ocean never freezes be
yond a few feet in thickness.
Underpaid Postage.
Insufficient postage on letters is a
serious handicap to American business
abroad, reports our acting vice consul
at Genoa, Italy. A letter from the
United States to Italy bearing a two
cent stamp entails upon the recipient
a payment of at least 6 cents as a
penalty. "The poor impression upon
Italian firms created by short paid let
ters," says the report, "becomes, final
ly, by repetition, very great Speda'
care in affixing the proper postage
would bring ample returns by remov
ing a cause of complaint which has ex
erted an unfavorable influence in for
eign business."
Force of Habit.
He was an old merchant who had
built up a big business by advertising.
"John." said his wife, "what do you
want on your tombstone?"
"Oh," he answered, "it Isn't very
Important what the test is so long as
It gets good space and is well dis
played."—London Telegraph.
Salt In the Sea.
The volume of the saline matter In
the ocean Is a little more than 4,800,
000 cubic miles, or, according to the
United States geological survey, de
partment of the interior, enough to
cover the entire surface of the United
States to a depth of 8,500 feet.
Two Views.
"Life," said the optimist "is one
grand sweet song."
"Say, rather, a rasping graphophone
record," growled the pessimist.—Louis

Our First Theater.
In 1752 the first theater in the Unit
ed States was opened In the colony of
Virginia at old Williamsburg. The
originator was an English actor, Wil
liam Hallam, Sr., who brought his own
company from overseas and presented
"The Merchant of Venice" as the in
itial performance. The idea spread
rapidly, and sooifeXcw York, Philadel
phia and the otSer leading communi
ties of colonial America each had its
theater. While the Virginia playhonse
was the first In the United States, ac
tors had played in the colonies before
this date. The first is said to have
been the English strolling player An
thony Aston, who was known as Mat
Medley. The actor and his art of that
day were generally despised by the
Puritanical colonists. The Massachu
setts legislature passed a law shortly
after amateurs had given "The Or
phans" at the Coffee House in Boston
in 1749 which forbade such perform
ances, prescribing a penalty for ac
tors and spectators alike of $25 each.
—Exchange.
Curioua Baths.
In her book, "My Siberian Year,"
Miss M. A. Czaplacka, speaking of the
social habits of the Siberiaks, says:
"The celebrant of the fortnightly rite
of the bath fills the banya with a dense
cloud of steam by sluicing water into
a kind of open mouthed oven in the
wall of the stove and sits on a dais
over against this, dabbing himself all
over with water he has taken from the
cistern and tempered to a Just endur
able heat in a tin basin with colder
water from a barrel in the corner.
Having put himself into a state border
ing on suffocation and raised his own
temperature several degrees above fe
ver point, he pulls open the door, rushes
naked Into the open air, rolls over and
over In the snow, covers himself with
it and lies there till the heat of his
body has made a pool of water under
him. Then he runs back to the banya
and flagellates himself with a bunch
of twigs as ho stands surrounded by
a fresh cloud of steam from the oven."
Honesty Extraordinary.
A traveler writing In an Italian mag
azine saya that the Swiss canton of
Tlcino is inhabited by the most honest
folk it is possible to imagine. In most
of the Ticlnese villages, the writer
says, the oldest inhabitants do not re
member any case of thieving, however
petty, within n lifetime. Lost objects
when found must never be taken
away. They must bo left where they
were dropped or placed in a conspicu
ous position, so that the rightful own
er can find his property more easily.
The case is cited of an American wom
an tourist who lost her purse on an
excursion in tiie Val Caprlasca. The
purse contained gold coin and a Jew
eled watch. Upon returning from her
trip she found the purse with its con
tents intact on a little heap of leaves,
so placed that it could not fall to at
tract her attention.
Salaries With Silver Linings.
The highest salaried man in Japan
does not receive enough money In that
form to pay for the gasoline used by
his automobile, for salaries of the man
agers of business corporations are in
significantly small, says the Japan
Times. Salaries, however, are not the
total income of business men. Under
the Japanese custom there is a liberal
bonus system, and the bonus amounts
to 300 or 400 times the monthly sal
ary in some cases.
The Mitsui company is regarded as
the biggest corporation in Japan, and
its directors are noted for their large
Incomes. Each director is said to re
ceive in the form of a bonus about
$100,000 a year, although his salary
may be only $250 a month.
Legal Wit.
A lawyer was walking into court re
cently with his length of arm taxed
to hold a pile of law books.
To him said a friend, pointing to his
books:
"Why, I thought you carried all that
stuff in your head."
"So I do," quickly replied the learned
counsel, with a knowing wink. "These
are for the Judges."
Fine Luck.
Mrs. Exe—So you've got a new gown
after all. I thought you said you
couldn't afford one this season? Mrs.
Wye—So I did. But you see my hus
band had a streak of luck recently.
He broke his leg the next day after
taking out an accident policy that pays
$30 a week.—Boston Transcript
Struck the Wrong Spot.
A man lost his wife and his cow
both in the same week. His neighbors
tried to console him by hinting that
they would see that he got another
wife.
"Yes; you're willing to get me an
other wife," said he, "hut none of you
offers to get me another cow."
In the Barber Shop.
'Tour hair," said the aggravating
barber to the slightly bald man, "is
coming out on top."
"Good!" cried the sensitive victim.
"I knew it was in me. Now, for good
ness' sake, don't talk to it or it'll crawl
back again."—London Telegraph.
His View of It.
Wife—That girl in the opposite flat
is quite a promising singer. Hub
Well, get her to promise that she won't
sing any more—Boston Transcript.
Very Unruly.
Miss Paul—Grace doesn't obey any
body. Miss Pry—No; she doesn't even
mind her own business.—Town Topics.
