MANY VOTING AT THE
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
There appears to be considerable
interest manifested in the democrat
ic primary being held this afternoon
in the city hall, and at 3 o'clock about
ninety votes had been cast, a number
of the fair sex exercising their pre
rogatives and expressing their choice
for delegates to the Juneau conven
tion. There appears to be little
scratching of the ballots, the candi
dates chosen at the meeting of the
Democratic club being the favorites.

WASHINGTON, March 21. —Re
cruiting for the army throughout the
country for the pant five days has re
sulted in adding bpt five hundred
men to the rolls.' At'this rate it will;
take six months to bring the army up
to its full strength.
The small number of men present
ing themselves for enlistment is caus
ing considering worry among the
military officials, as it was expected
that there would be not the slightest
difficulty in securing the"desired num
ber of men within a we©k or two
For a few days following the excite
ment over the Villa "raid into New
Mexico the enlistments were numer
ous, but for the past few days the#
have fallen to almost none..

A LITERARY RIDDLE
Why Does a Woman Writ* Differently
From a M«nf
Why is it that yon can always tell a
Story written by a inan from one writ
ten By a woman ? I saw the thing put
to a rather severe test within the last
month, with results that were star
tling.
Ten men anti women; all of whom do
considerable novel reading, had had
dinner together. One of the men asked
the question I put at the top of these
paragraphs. He was in his own home
and went to some trouble to prove tbaj
the sex of authors Is an easy thing to
determine
Hiving to each of the nine others a
pencil and piece of paper, the host pro
ceeded to read extracts from twenty
different books and magazines, select
ing parts in which prdper names would
not identify the story. As he read each
person wrote down his guess as to
whether the author was a man or a
woman.
Of the 188 answers made by the
uipe persons to the twenty tests all but
eight were correct As he kept the
books from which he read concealed
it was Impossible to get aid with t.he
eye.
But although everybody guessed right
almost every time, no one could still
give a good definition of the conun
drum. Why does a woman write dif
ferently .from a man?—Philadelphia
Ledger.
INFLAMMABLE BOMBS.
Substances Used In the Making of
These Deadly Explosives.
The incendiary bomb used by tbe
Zeppelin aircraft, as a rale, is conical,
of ten inch diameter at the. base, wrap
ped round with tarred rope and having
a metal handle at the apex. The base
is a flat cup. into which a pierced metal
funnel is fitted, having the ignition de
vice and handle fitted at the top.
The funnel is generally filled with
thermit The latter, upon ignition, gen
crates intense heat and toy . tbe .time of
the concussion has taken the form of
I molten metal, having tbe extraordi
nary high temperature of (5,000 degrees
F. The molten metal la spread by the
concussion.
Outside tin; funnel is a padding of a
highly inflammable or resinous mate
ria). bound on with an inflammable
form of rope. The resinous material
creates a pungent smoke.
There is generally some melted white
phosphorus in tbe bottom of tbe cap.
which develops nanseous fumes. In
some cases celluloid clippings are add
ed, and occasionally a small .quantity
of gasoline.—Philadelphia PreRs
Buildings.
Buildings are contrivances which sur
round trouble, despair, pleasure, enter
tain mea t- business indolence and
plumbing
Buildings are built with brick, mor
tar. cement, wood, steel and mort
gages It also takes sand to build
buildings, bnt they should not be built
on sand.
Some buildings are public and some
■are private Public buildings an?
usually very imposing, and usually tbe
public has been imposed upon to bnild
them Private buildings are frequent
ly private in name only, especially if
occupied by several inquisitive women
Such buildings are made up of a large
number of stories and most of them
are without foundation.
Rats, mice, fires, earthquakes and
rent collectors are buildings’ worst

so dense that little is known about the
rotation, position of the axis or nuin
