ranks of those who firmly believe in dreams Moore who travels much told the story of the recovery of the ring while here It is best told in his own words: “In February last the dancing school I attended in Worcester had a barn danc in Holden and I dressed myself up in the costume of a Reuben and went to the dance I decided not to wear my diamond ring and wore instead one of those large carbuncle glass rings sold in any five and store I put my diamond ring in my pocket however “During the evening one of the young women saw the ring I had on and began to Jolly me about it I stood for the Jollying for awhile but when the other girls began to kid I me took out my good ring and said I had a good one if I chose to wear it “One of the girls said she would like to wear it awhile but I said ‘I guess not’ and put it back in my pocket I had on my ‘Rube’ costume Baw TRADE Big SLUMPS $550000000 Decrease for 1908 Shown In the International Union of American Republics then I thought

of the car on which I rode home was unsuccessful “The months wore on and the ring was all but forgotten Friends who knew of the incident had helped me search for It and even advertising for it did no good The other night however I had a dream Now I don’t ordinarily dream I'm not accustomed to it But this was a real dream and I had to stand for it In my dream I saw that ring and there was no mistaking it “It was lying in a stone gutter near a big building and I had to guess where the spot was - TJhen I recognized the place for I wqp sure it was at the rear end of the itown hall I woke up suddenly but there was no ring in sight and then I decided it was more sleep I wanted “That dream worried me some I talked about it to a woman friend of mine and she being a more firm believer in dreams than I quite insisted that I go to Holden and take a look I had some around the town hall business in Greendale and when I finished that I took a transfer for I went to the place where Holden I dreamed the ring was lying and to my astonishment and Joy there it was The gold was scratched and the stone covered with dirt “How many people' Moore asked holding up the ring “do you suppose have walked on that ring?” Those who heard the story wouldn’t even hazard a guess but he was sure there had not been one Extends Use of Oil as Fuel Salt Lake City — The trial of an oilburning locomotive on

magnificent region of mountains and fertile It is specially interesting valleys from the engineering standpoint The Tauern tunnel is the second longest in Austria and took seven years to build The work was full of trouble and peril Water rushed in frequently and the laborers suffered greatly from the heat when reaching the center Tho rock was unusually hard and the boring process was necessarily slow A new kind of explosive rock met with for the first time gave the engineers much trouble’ The “knallges-teinas it is called detached itself from the sides of the tunnel without the

in any branch of phyBlcs whether pure or applied the name of Lord Kelvin Is associated with the discovery In 1853 he gave "forth the theory of oscillation In 1865 Maxwell pro pounded the theory of electrical waves and in 1888 Hertz practically discovered them Sir Oliver Lodge was looking for the waves at the same time and was successful in finding them running along wires in the same year that Hertz discovered them going through space In 1890 he was able to take a further step developing the receiving arrangements for the detection of these waves by means of the principle which he decided to call syntony At the same time another word coherer was added to the language In 1894 he was able to give a demonstration before the British association of signaling across space without wires and about the same time he published a book 1895 In Admiral Popoil of the Russian navy and Capt Jackson of tho English navy carried the idea a little further and then In 1896 Marconi took up the matter
