V fUmarkabl* F*at of Juggling, An Indian Juggler'a remarkable feat Is described hy a wrltor In the Wide World Magazine. A slim young na tive, accompanied hy a gray-bearded assistant, appeared carrying a couple of large baskets, from tlu; flrst of which was produced a big python, which the young native proceeded to "charm" with his pipe. The Juggler took the haHket containing the python, placed It upon a large cloth, the four corners of which he knotted together with a strong, thin rope. At the end of thin rope were nflixed two little hollow-leaden cups, which he placed over his eyobulls in such a way that a vacuum was created. He then shut his eyes so that the lids were outside the cups. The two side* of the rope were then passed over his ears and. rising from his sijuattlng position, lie lifted the basket containing the snake hy the grip of his eyelids and the suction on hi* eyeballs, alone. The writer flhys he has never heard of the feat being perform^! before'or since. jCetterheads Snvelopes Tfiill ifeads GiveUslfour Orders for Printing' The Chronicle, Phone No. 29 NI\W >OKK NKW OltLK.ANK COLOMBIA S.

The male .lives but A few days. No doubt you be lieve that mosquitoes live, on bleod alone, though you may have wondered how they get along In the remote wil derness where there seems to he no animal life, as, for instance, in the subarctic and arctic country. The truth Is that the mosquito also lives on the Juice of plants. They will bite al most any sort of^tnlmal, will bite rep tllos and even caterpillars Somp mos quitoes can bite through a leather moc casin. Any of them can bite through a human hide. SOFT WOOD MADE BEAUTIFUL Proper Application of Finishing Meth ods Qivee All the Effects of More Costly Material. Beautiful }?t,0f'8' approximat ing In effect Sftra nnish the oak and tynftlo floors found In the best type of homes, can be developed* with the uld of proper finishing methods and ma terials, In such woods a^ pine, flr, and cypress, says a bulletin of a large American company. These so-called "soft" woods are very durable and posse** not a little natural beauty of grain. . ? Hardwood effects are secured on soft woods by Mtaining with ah oil wood stain, consisting of a permanent color pigment In an oil vehicle. These Btalns are particularly adapted to Use on the soft woods. The effect Is com pleted by applying a thin coat of shel lac and finishing with two coiits of prepared wax or floor varnish. The first step toward obtaining the desired finish Is to sandpaper the wood smoothly. The stain should then be applied freely with a brush, and, af ter being allowed to stand for about five or ten minutes, buffed off wUli a cloth. When the stain has dried for 24 hours the shellac and wax or var nish may be appjled as described. A deeper effect than thiCt procured by the method outlined may be ob tained by the use of a varnish stain over the oil wood stain. Both should, of course, correspond. In color. Often It Is difficult to determine upon the best finish for a floor In the absence Of expert-advice. Aviators' Dangers. Atr service doctors have discovered that airmen who have been experts will, on occasion and for a period, make all marmer of mistakes In landing. With a smooth lawn below them they will do a "poached egg" and crash the machlirt' on its tail or will take the ground before they mean to. These aceldAits are attributed to a particular sort of weariness of eye muscles ns well as eye nerves. The eye falls to convey to the brain a proper ev<? picture of the ground or other object. , The eye falls very much as the mus cles of afl untrained athlete fall. Maay exerelsn* for the eye have been de signed which will remedy this 'de feet. Character of Future Naval Attack Rear Admiral W. F.
