'there was only one regret expressed
by Lon D. Marrs, mayor of Ama-
rillo, and echoed by W. D. Wagner
mayor of Dalhart, who were at the
head of the big delegation. That
was that the' whole crowd was not
brought into Dallas earlier this
morning.
At 12 o’clock the big band start-

handle and told those what the
program for the afternoon and
evening was to be. He informed
them that all afternoon long they
stated to be 30,000 of which might go about as they pleased: see

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 31.—“They
don’t aeem to tote as many back as
they tote in,” said a prosperous
poking Collin county farmer on a
street car bound for the fair
(grounds this morning. He told
the truth and expressed the exist-
ing conditions to an infinitesimally
fine point. Street cars did not
“tote” near.so many away from
the fair grounds at they “toted” to
the fair grounds during the morn-
Every car was packed,

good time, and above all wear their
badges so that folks might see
where from and whenever the oc-
casion required, tell what a great
place the Panhandle of Texas is.
He told them all to be on hand in
the Panhandle exhibit tent at 6
o’clock this afternoon, when a lun-
cheon would be Berved to all Pan-
handles. “Amarillo is the city
that does things,” he told those
who hoard him, “and the Panhan-
dle is the best place on earth.”
iiThose of the Panhandle conting-
ent who did not wear caps or
badges were tagged with a big yel-
low card board frying pan, with a
long handle, on which there was
printed in big letters, Panhandle
Day, State fair of Texas, October
3-1 j 1908, and they wore the badges
proudly. i;
The great State fair for its clos-
ing day offered its patrons dur-
ing the entire day a program in its
music hall that proved the de-
light of all visitors. Sacred songs
were rendered by Phinney’s en-
tire band of opera singers, s ^
Roosevelt Leaves for Oyster Bay.

o’clock this

to the regular train on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. Mrs. Roosevelt and
the president had boarded the car
earlier in the evening and were
asleep when the train pulled out.

Lighthouse keepers and those liv-
ing on the beach of the gulf coast
■oe many queer sights in the way of
battles between turtles, sharks and
swordfish, exciting at times and al-
ways illustrating the terrible power
possessed by the monsters of the
deop.
Two fishermen coming in from
Lake Worth, Florida, on a lumber
■loop saw a commotion in the wa-
ter and presently became witnesses
of an all around combat between
six or seven sharks.
In a few minutes the combatants
were fighting and plunging almost
under the sloop's bow, and the men,
being afraid of some damage to the
boat, seized their rifles and fired
into the mass. After a few shots
the fighting sea tigers fell apart and
seemed to be intent on finding their
new antagonists. •
Then, as if by preconcerted ac-
tion, several plunged directly at the
boat and hit it a resounding blow
with force sufficient to knock both
men flat on the deck.
A second rush was made, and
then the entire school of sharks be-
gan pounding against the sloop’s
sides. Backing off a dozen rods or
more, they would come on with
lightning swiftness, hitting the boat
■quarely, making it quiver from
stem to stern, and soon there were
two sharks floating on the waves,
stunned by their own mad rushes,
but the others kept up the fight.
Presently one shark aimed too
high, skimmed over the sloop’s rail
and fell on the'deck with a sound-
ing whack. s-’
The two men were badly fright-
ened by this time and fired two
shots at random. Then they each
seized an ax and dealt the monster
a terrible blow.
Up went the shark's tail and,
striking one of the men, sent him
flying into the water. He swam to
the rail with the energy of despair,
and his comrade ran to his assist-
ance, but before he could be hauled
in a shark took a piece out of his
heel. .
The blood that flowed from his
wounded foot dyed the water for a
yard or more and seemed to excite
the sharks to greater ferocity. The
shark on deck was killed with -a-
united blow, but something must be

the letters in the message being
transmitted.
But this method of recording
messages was found to tax the eye-
sight of the operator severely, a
few years’ work often rendering
them almost if not totally blind.
Recognizing the fact that there
must be something wrong with such
a system, inventors set about re:
pairing the defect, which resulted
m perfecting the siphon galvanom-
eter, which has all but superseded
all other receiving devices.
In the siphon receiver the move-
ments of the needle are recorded by
means of ink spurted from a fine
tube. This tube is attached to a
coil suspended between two fixed
magnets, which swings to the right
or left as the pulsations pass
through it. The siphon galvanom-
eter is a great improvement, is not
hard on the eyes and, enables the
operator to receive much more rap-
idly than with the old flash receiv-
er.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Beauties of V Moth.
Moths are really very beautiful
little insects in spite of their dingy
coloring. Somber though their
hues may be, one has only to place
a clothes moth under the micro-
scope in order to perceive its beau-
ty. I caught one of these moths
in my study, says an entomologist,
and, wishing to examine it, damped
a strip of glass and pressed the
moistened part gently against the
surface of its wings. When I look-
ed at this through the microscope,
the sight was really a most exqui-
site ohe. In the center of the little
gray patch were .thousands upon
thousands of tiny scales, each shap-
ed like a- battledoor deprived of its
handle and marked by five delicate
ridges running along it from base
to tip, while' all around were thou-
sands more of much longer and
more slender scales, each of which
split up near the extremity into
three hairlike plumes. And over all
these scales, as the light shifted,
rainbow tints were playing.
The Turkish Fex.
At one time all fezzes came from
Fez, it being supposed that only
there could the exact crimson dye
required be obtained. It is curious
that the name of an agricultural
implement has thus been appropri
ated by headgear, for fez or
means in Arabic a hoe. The
ite story is that Idrees II.,
founder of the city, turned
