The child was thrown from the rig and seriously hurt. The damage suit followed. The columns for the classic portico of the Lincoln Memorial at Washington, for which congress some time ago appropriated $2,000,000 are being made in Colorado from white marble taken from the quarries in the Sopris National forest reserve. Thirty-eight columns, each of which will be 46 feet in height and weigh approximately 192 tons, are being made in twelve sections, or drums, crated and shipped to the capital. Several interesting views in the April Popular Mechanics Magazine show how these sections are prepared and fitted together. An immense diving bell, weighing more than 10,000 pounds, was taken through Decatur last Friday night over the Erie railroad on its way to Honolulu to be used in raising the ill-fated submarine F-4 which was lost oft the entrance of the harbor there last week. The bell is being sent by WellsFargo express and the government is rushing it with all possible speed to the islands. The express car carrying the bell was attached to train No. 9, but due to some defect in the car at Huntington the bell was transferred to train No. 13, thus causing a delay of about two hours. The Santa Fe. over which the contrivance will be shipped from Chicago, held the connection at Chicago in order that no time would be lost in taking the bell to the Pacific coast. in the Better Babies department of the April Woman's Home Companion appears the following advice to mothers about, spring fever: If your children look thin, pale and tired, do not shut them up in the house and dose them witli patent medicines Remember they are already suffering from seven months’ confinement in a school room which may or may not have been properly ventilated. The languor may Ire due not only to change of weather but also to lack of fresh air and exEncourage them to play outdoors and to eat whatever fresh vegetables are available. Stewed rhubarb, and apples, baked or stewed witli little sugar, are appetizers. If the languor persists after you have tried the simple things you know about, consult your physician.”
