Yestcrdny the board of health adver
tised some extracts of the rule adopted
by the old board and signed by ex

by J. S. Nllcs, president, Secretnry
Evans nnd Mayor Kllpatrlrk. The
members of the old board put many
weeks of hard work on these rules.
Hon. J. F. Reynolds, lion. S. S. Jones,
Dr. II. C. Wheeler. D. U Bailey, M. D
Alderman Hunnell, John Copeland, H,
A. Kelly nnd J. J. Collins are among
those who have given their time to the

There Is nothing In the board of

peared to be In an economical frame

dent that n general cut in salaried

gun by n motion of Thomas Hunter,

duce the Jnnllor's snlnry from $40 to

ter, Loughney, Prltehard, Shields,

Mellow ngnlnst. It was then sug
gested that the knife be npplled to the
teachers salaries, but Mellow, Blake
and Gannon ngnln opposed the sug
gestion. The former reviewed tho
work done In the schools tho pnst
year und concluded by stating tln
school's standing was at the close of
last year's term equal to that of any
In the county. Loughney nnd Morcom
maintained that It was Impossible for
tho taxpayers to pnv their taxes ow
ing to the small pittance they were
now receiving nt the mines and they
Insisted that teachers were getting too
much pay. By motion It was then de
cided to reduce tho salary of tho
principal 310, nnd the three other
teachers In the high school each $3
per month, tho vote taken being sim
ilar to that cast for the Janitor.
Loughney then moved that tho
teachers salaries' In the old school
building be reduced ns follows: Those
receiving $10 be cut to $Vi; thoso re
ceiving M,1 be reduced to $30: and tho
$30 teachers be reduced to $2S. This
was carried bv a live to four vote,
Hunter, Loughney, Prltehard, Ed
munds nnd Morcom voting for the re
duction, and Blake, Mellow, Gannon
and Shields opposing. Arthur Fowler

Monster Clams That Catch Their
Prey in Vice-Like Shells.
From the Chlcugo Inter-Ocean.
In South Pacific waters are found
some of the largest shells known. One
Is a clam-Uke shell with huge ribs,
called the tradlcna, one valve of which
has been known to weigh 250 pounds.
The meat ulone weighed twenty-five
or more pounds, and a single animal,
If served on the halt shell, would af
ford a good meal for fifty men. The
trldacna has the habit of lying with
its vulves partly open, as though to
trap some unwary traveler. It has
earned and unsavory reputation und
it considered an animal to be avoided,
unless means ure ut hand to render It
harmless.
The attention of white men was first
attracted to this trap when a party of
collectors wero rowing over the reef
In search of rare corals. They sud
denly saw a large fish beating tho
surface violently, with Its head out
of tho water. As they drew near
they saw that the fish was a large
shark, which had been caught In a
living trap. Its tall, or tho lower
lobe, wus held securely by a giant
shell, the tradacna, tho strong and
powerful mollusk, clinging to It with u
vice-like grasp.
There is a case on record of a man
having been entrapped In a similar
way. Ho was un American collector,
umamlllar with tho reef and Its Htrange
inhabitants, and seeing what he sup
of
rices iMow
posed to be a great green sea nne
mone, he attempted to grasp It. But
tho anemone disappeared, and like a
vice the edges of the shell clamped
the wrist of the unfortunate collector,
who, to his horror, found himself an
choied in a stooping position by his
hand.
The tide was rising, not a person
was in sight and there wns apparent
ly no possible chance of escape. The
collector, fortunately, had a knife, and,
almost crazed uy pain, he made an
attack upon the shell, but every thrust
ho made only caused the powerful ani
mal to clasp him closer and add to
his agony. It was Impossible to cut
around the shell, the rock being too
hard, and the only thing to do wns
to wait and hope that the shell would
relax nnd permit him to Jerk his hand
out. Seconds seemed minutes and
minutes hours. The water was ris
ing higher and higher; a gentle breeze
had sprung up nnd the waves began
to form that threw tho water against
tho captive. He had about determined
upon a terrible alternative to cut off
his hand to save his life when the
shell visibly relaxed Its holds and with
a quick Jerk he pulled out the maimed
and helpless member and turned In
shore.
THE STUDY OF COLORS.
Hues That Are Refreshing and Those
That Are Otherwise.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The study of colors and their effects
Is a very curious and Interesting one.
There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening. Others that absorb
light and give u boxed-up appearance
to a room, others that make a room
with n bleak northern exposure or
with no exposure at all appear bright
nnd cheerful: srune that make a room
appear warm, somo that make It cold.
If a celling Is to be made higher
leave It light, that It may appear to
recede. Deepening the color used on
the celling would make it lower, an
eftect desirable If tho room is small
and the celling very high. Various
tones of yellow aro substitutes for
sunlight.
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when you walk Into n blue
room. Yellow Is an advancing color,
therefore, u room fitted up with yel
low will appear smaller than It Is. On
the other hand, blue of a certain
shade Introduced generously Into a
room will give nn Idea of space. Red
makes no difference In regard to size.
Gieen makes very little.
If a bright, sunny room gets Its
light from a space obtruded upon by
russet-colored or yellow-painted
houses, or else looks out upon
a stretch of green grass, It should be
decorated In a color very different
from the shade chosen If the light
comer from only an unbroken expanse
of sky.
It olive or red brown bo used In
conjunction with mahogany furnlturo
tho result will bo verv different from
that obtnlned bv the use of blue. Blue
would develop tho tawny orange lurk
ing In the mahogany.
Red brings out In n room whatever
tint of green lurks In the composition
of tho other colors employed.
Green needi sunlight to develop the
yellow In It and makes It eecin cheer
