A representative of this paper was at ! the carnival hist evening and he found j a lot ?>r clean tit tractions, that were1 amusing as well as educational, and [ taken as ;i whole the carnival Is a good one. if that term could be ap-! plied to any carnival.

One of the most spontaneous and thrilling fights ever seen on the screen takes place in the Paramount produc tion of "Little Miss Optimist" which will he seen at the Majestic Theatre on Tuesday of next week. The conflict is between Ernest Joy, Charles West and Charles Gerard in i darkened room. Director Thornby secured the effect without any practice ? simply telling the men to go ahead u ii? I tight, telling each one secretly, that his opponent was supposed to ho a German spy. That his instructions were enthusiastically followed will be seen by all who witness the production, which abounds in other incidents of interest. Tell The Editor.

A clever and useful attachment for the electric fan. designed by a Los Angeles inventor, according to Science Monthly, consists of a tin wheel which can be hooked on any electric fan and which will Increase its cooling capac ity many times. The spokes or propellers of this ?wheel are made of flne-mesh screen. The lower part of the wheel whirls in a tank which is filled with cold water. The electric fan causes the screen pro pellers to revolve and they dip into the little tank, throwing up a small amount of water on the upward turn. The air is sent through the water and Is cooled, purified and cleaned. Perfume, a disinfectant, or a medicat edlllquid may be used Instead of water. REALTY TRANSFERS I. J.
