inspector recently served a warrant on
Oelger. to show cause why a fine of
$100 should not be imposod on him
Recently a revenue cutter made ita
appearance in local waters. Among
the craft inspected oil the Mississippi
was the Geltcer launch. The sun had
gone down but it was still liftht and
lieifcer had neglected to turn on the
electric lights, with which his boat is
equipped. It was also claimed that
the local man did not have the book of
rules required by law. The Inspector
took GetgerVs name and referred the
matter to the Chicago office and this
morning a letter came instruction Gel
ger to appear at a hearing and show
cause why a heavy fine should not be
imposed.
A lengthy letter of explanation Is
being prepared by GMger. He insists
that it was not dark at the time the
inspector visited his craft and there
was no necessity for lights and that
he owned a book of rules but had sim
ply neglected to put the same on the
boat. He is hoping the explanation
will clear him of the alleged offense.

of the most vicious habits of our sex.

pretty gown, announces. "I made it

ALL EMPLOYES HAVE A BADGE,
When a person winks his eyes he
momentarily covers the eittire eye
balls and everything therefore should
turn absolutely black and be In total
darkness for the Instant. As a matter
of fact, he certainly is in total dark-
ne&s. but he is unconscious or same.
I Tiie reason lie Is unconscious is that
j the eye Is incapable of removing a cer
tain view from itself until an eighth or
a second has elapsed. So the view
seen Just before the ball goes into
eclipse continues to be seen for an
eighth of a second. But as the eye is
not covered by the lid as long as this.
a new view arrives to supplement the
old view before the old one has van
ished. Thus the darkness Is not no
ticed, although there Is no doubt that
I It exists.
The same peculiarity or the eye en
ables moving pictures to have their
I bing. It also is the reason why a
lighted torch whirled rapidly around
shows a path instead of a sequence of
torches. Also why a rapidly routing
wheel does not show its spokes. If a

i does show the spokes, however, and
proves the above fact of persistence,

HOLES IN POTS AND PANS'
Quick and Easy Method of Repairing
Them at Home.
Pots and pans, whether of Iron or tin
(which is only Iron tinned over), get
holes in their bottoms all too soon to
please the economical housekeeper.
Then it becomes necessary to call in
the tinsmith, who puts a lump of solder
In the hole. This soon melts, and the
hole Is there agaift.
But nothing is easier than to repair
such holss at home and without the
aid of a tinsmith. First of all make
the hole round by Inserting the point
of a knife and twisting It back and
forth. Place the pot or pan upon any

It was the same old plea. He said

that he vas the two for six months,

that he would give them one final
