and was on the point of making remark
when familiar footsteps were heard as
cending the stairs.
"By Heaven I believe it is August
Yerkes /" whispered Sharon, as he hast
ily entered the closet and drew the door
to. He was none too soon, for the next
moment Yerkes walked briskly up to
where the three gentlemen were stand
ing. Something in their faces told him
that something was amiss- something to
his disadvantage, too.
"You are probably surprised to see
me here again? % remarked he, for want
of anything else to say.
eve are, indeed said Mr.. Purvis,
regarding him with an ominous frown.
"You all appear to be anything but
pleased to see me ?" next remarked the
robber ana would-be assassin.
"On the contrary, we are very glad
to see you" here spoke Varnoe, with an
ambiguous smile.
CHANGING at the detective with skep-
teal air, Yerkes walked to the closet
and opened the door, and the next mo-
ment he uttered fearful shrek and
started back with his hair standing on
end and his face the color of ashes.
He had seen (as his guilty conscience
told him) the ghost of his victim, for
Sharon remained standing in the closet
perfectly immovable, his eyes fixed re-
proachfully on the guilty wretch.
The horrid vision was too much for
his brain to endure. Yerkes became a
raving maniac and behaved so violently
that Varnoe was obliged to manacle him
hand and foot and again return him to
the hospital, from whence he was short
ly afterward conveyed to the insane de-
partment of the aims house.
Pembroke Sharon was generously rec
ompensed by his employerfor his heroic
attempt to prevent the robbery, and
promoted to a responsible position in
the store, which he filed with credit
both to himself and his grateful en-
ployer.
Yerkes lived year or so after his con-
fnement, and died raving maniac, a
terrible retribution for his attempt to
fasten crime on an innocent person
and thus rob him both of his reputation
and life at one fell blow.

SCIENTIFIC JARGON.

Monstrosities of diction are not COL
fined to chemical science, but are to be
found in physics as well as metaphysics.
We recently gave some samples Of the
extraordinary and absurd length to which
the names Of certain organic salts had
grown, and we may now add the follow
ing choice specimen of imagery Grom a
recently published paper by Sir William
Thomson) to illustrate the grand style in
modern natural philosophy. "The
steam-ines, says the distinguished Glas-
gov physicist, "are represented in the
diagram, in which the region Of trans
lational-velocity greater than wave
propagational-velocity is separated from
the region of trauslational-velocity less
than overwhelmingly by a
cat's-eye border pattern of elliptic
whirls." The curious mixture of home
" smile and abstract Technology in
this passage is highly amusing. Its OBJ
security is, however, surpassed by Mr..
Herbert Spencer's famous Formula Of
Evolution which runs: Evolution is
change from an indefinite, incoherent
homogeneity to definite coherent het-
erogeneity, through continuous differ
entiations and integrations," which,
being interpreted into plain English,
the mathematician, means /" Evolution
is change from nohowish, untalk-
aboutable all-alikeness to somehowish,
and in-general-talkaboutable, not-all-
alikeness. by continuous something
elsefcaticns and stickto-getherations.
As clever travesty on the above caco-
phonous mystifcation OF Mr.. Herbert
Spencer, which, Like the language Of d.
plomacy, conceals the meaning it ought
to express, we have Mr.. Krkman's
Formula of Universal Change" which
is Change is perichoretical synechy
of pamparalagmatic and porroteropore-
umtical diferentiations and indignation.
After such pedantry as this, the clown
in Shakspeare's "Twelfth Night" who
"did impeticos thy gratillity" is abso-
lutely nowhere.-Globe.

AMER1CAN COLLEGES.

There are scattered over the United
States about 800 institutions called col
leges or universities, exclusive OF lnst-
buttons which receive only women VI
these colleges or universities about i've
ninths or nearly 200, have been organ
lied since 1850; only twenty OF them
were IL existence before this century,
and only twenty-eight were ii existence
in 1920, Of which last number twenty
six were distributed over twelve Of the
thirteen original States. More than one
third of these $50 institutions charge no
tuition fee OF only nomi1al one (not
over $50 /, year,; and in this large class
are included such institution as the
State Universities Of California, Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska and Wisconsin, the University
and the College Of the City ofNew York,
Lehigh University and Oberlin College.
There are, moreover, forty-three agri-
cultural and mechanical colleges $50
called, endowed by the Government,
the great majority of which charge no
tuition fee. All but five of these last
named institutions have been organized
since the civil war, and those FIVE have
been reorganized and amplifed. While
the population OF the United States has
probably increased about fve-fold In the
sixty years, between 1920 and 1880, the
number of colleges and universities has
been multiplied by fourteen. All the
old colleges in the original States charged
and still charge a tuition fee; but the
principal increase in the number of col
leges has been at the West, and it is
there that the practice Of charging no
tuition fee most obtains The difficulty
of Justly estimating the relative stand
ing or merit Of these institutions is very
great, particularly for an educated man
who tries to choose college for his sons.
The names college and university afford
no indication of the real grade of the
institutions to which they are applied,
and the common criterion of price-the
rule that the dearest is probably the
best-also fails; for some OF the lnst1-
tutions which charge very low fees, or
none, are better than some which charge
higher fees.-Preside'at EIiots report.

TATLOR-lI4DE MEN.

"The fact is that there are very few
men who are formed regularly. What a
professional cutter would call regular
proportion is the measurement OF
thirty-six inches to the breast and
thirty-three inches to the waist. But
these measurements are seldom met
with" This was said to Sm reporter
in reply to inquiries as to the shapes
that are encountered by tailors who
make custom clothing. Experienced
cutters say that they are obliged to
make allowances for peculiar forms in
almost every case. Many men have one
shoulder higher than another This is
particularly the case with those who do
much writing. The right aim is often
est kept contin ually on the desk, while
the left arm is rested and lowered. Natu-
rally, in such cases, a mans right shorI-
der is raised and his left depressed. To
remedy this slight deformity the expert
cutter must resort to padding.
"Talk about padding" said an old
cutter, "the men are really padded as
much as the women"
edo you think men are as particular
about their dress as women?"
:"When they care at all they are more
fastidious. The trouble with men is that
they do not always know what they want.
Women are more apt to know exactly
what they want because they make
study of dress. They think Of it from
childhood. They see something they
like and say, make it like that They
know how goods viii look when made
up. But many men are unreasonably
fastidious. One time he puffs and
swells out to undue proportions. When
the coat is finished, and he tries it on,
he says it don't fit, when the real trouble
is that he does not swell himself out as
he did when he was measured. If man
is punctilious about a very neat, close
fit, chances are that he will complain
that his clothes are too tight when he
tries them on. Then the man who says
he wants them easy, and is not particu-
lar about the fit, is to be feared. When
he gets his clothes home his wife, or his
sisters or his fellow-boarders will scruti-
nize his garments and send him back to
the unfortunate tailor. "-NeW York San.

THEATRICAL AUDIENCES.

John Mccullough, in an interview
with reporter Of the Cleveland Herald,
discoursed as follows about the audi
ences he meets: "There is very gen.
eral impression, you know, that West
ern audiences are the most enthusiastic.
That is mistake. They are not. A
Western audience is very reserved au-
dience. They are chary of applause
far more so than in New York OF Bos-
ton. Those are the two cities where au-
diences are the most enthusiastic.
eff they like you, if they think your
playing is good enough to be noticed at
all, they are far more enthusiastic than
an audience in the Western part Of the
country or in the interior. Southern
audiences are very respectful and good
listeners, but not at all entbusiastic-I
mean in the matter Of applause in the
theater. There are certain actions which
arouse them into demOnstrative applause
for instance, last night, at the end Of
the arena scene, you saw the enthusi-
asm but it is an exciting scene itself
the curtain coming down on the tableau,
and all that. Where an actor becomes
a favorite, and is acknowledged as such,
of course they take friendly and per-
sonal interest in him, and applaud him.
But the general disposition Of interior
audiences is to be reflective, and to think
that they are not to be imposed upon by
the recommendation of larger cities"

voice to obey, as he told them he would
not let one man leave the pit till they
were all there.
Then he waited. And If any one had
seen his face as he stood alone, a strange
change would have been noticed in it.
I There was now look of such triumph
ant gladness as for many year had not
rested there. He stretched out his arms
like one who had just ended some weary
labor. Then his head sank on his bo-
som, and he muttered:
go God Saved /! saved! Thou hast
kept me from it, and I may yet save
them ALL"
Quickly he recovered himself and
went into small Office where he kept
his books and instruments. He took
from a box a small revolver and some
matches and went out again. He then
set light to heap Of shavings and dry
wood lying near the door, and this soon
blazed up, Illuminating the whole place.
And again he waited.
Soon troop after troop of men, flying
at their utmost speed, reached the pits

the struggling mass of men, each one,
with maddened shouts and blows, striv-
ing to come nearer the basket. But
George Heimers' voice was heard loud
above them all:
"The first man that touches that
basket before I tell him, I'll shoot that
mani"
They saw the leveled barrel of the re-
volyer, and drew back.
"Those that are married, stand here.
And in silence the men obeyed him.
He then signaled to certain num-
Der of them to enter the basket. Not
an instant was lost, and they were
hoisted out of sight.
The others strained their eyes to watch
the ascending mass, calculating how soon
it would return to rescue them. Some
of the men who had their sons with them
clasped them tight in their arms. whis-
