LIS ADVANTAGES.


First-By paying only one dollar pei
week, the easiest possible method is offered
to secure watch.
Seeond-'rhe watches being purchased
in large quantities from the makers and
sold directly to the consumer, n large pro-
fit is saved to the members of the Club.
The principle upon which the goods ar
sold is an equitable one, as the members
Of the Club are practically n syndicate for
the purchase of watches i'll large quantities
at the lowest prices and thus directly bene-
ltlng lis members.
Clubs now STARTING under the manage
ment Of
WALTER r. ROBBINS.
No goods will be sold except those of
the very highest quality.
We shall run two Clubs The first of
which will be for thirty.fve weeks. Each
member joining this Club will pay one
dollar per week for the full Club term, and
each week one member will draw n watch.
The gentlemen's watch in this Club is to

How Date Palms Are Raised.

The date palms. which form the
wealth of the Arabs of the desert, and
one of which now waves its long
boughs in the breeze before us. are all
females; the male or pollen bearing
flowers of the date kind always grow
on separate tree; and as pollen is
produced by them in vast quantities. 1t
is not necessary in palm groves to have
more than single male stem to some
forty or fifty fruit bearing individuals.
The Arabs. therefore, never raise their
palms from seed, as they caunet make
sure of the sex of seeding; they take
suckers from the root of female
tree. already known to be a good bear
err of fine fruit; and these suckers not
only follow the sex of the so-called
mother, but also produce it's special
peculiarities of flower and seed Ia
every respect. They can not fall to
do SO. indeed. seeing that they are

The Problem of o Flying Machine.

fective. And yet this machine. thus
perfected through infinite ages by a

fifty pounds! I said, weight of ma
chine, fuel, and directing brain" Here
is another prodigious advantage of the
natural over the artificial machine.
The flying animal is its own engineer.
the fiyin g machine must carry its en-
gineer. The directing engineer in the
former 0he brain) is perhaps an ounce.
in the latter it is $50 pounds. The
limit of the flying animal is 80 pounds
The smallest possible weight of flying
machine, with its necessary fuel and
engineer even without freight or pas.
sengers, could not be less than 800 or
400 pounds. Now. to complete the
argument. put these three indisputa-
BILE facts together: l. There is low
limit of we ght. certainly not much be-
yond so pounds, beyond which it is
impossible for an animal to fly. Nature
has reached this limit. and with her
utmost effort has failed to pass it. 2.
The animal machine is far more effec.
tive than any we may hope to make;
therefore the limit of the weight of g
successful fiving machine cannot be
more than fifty pounds. 8. The weight
of any machine constructed for flying.
including fuel and engineer, cannot be
less than three or four hundred pounds.

And as he spoke he took the peck
book from the hands Of the really
stupefied Baronet and exhibited for
inspection-the half of Bank OF
England note for &10O.
There was much applause at this
harmless and successful denounce-
ment of what threatened at one
stage to lead to alteration, perhaps
to a quarrel. But jack Newbiggln
was not satisfied.
"As you have dared me to do my
worst said he, ''listen now to what

the Baronet, with On effort to appear

"That other half was given to-
shall l say, Sir Lewis?"
Sir Lewis nodded indifferently.
ut was given to one Hester Gorri-
gan, an old nurse, six years ago.
"Silencel Say no more" cried Sir
Lewis in horror.
Sir Lewis had been q younger son;
the eldest inherited the title, but
died early, leaving his widow to give
him posthumous heir, the title re-
manning in allegiance until time
showed whether the infant was u
boy or a girl. 1t proved to be a
boy, whereupon Lewis Mallaby, who
had the first information OF the fact,
put into execution a netarious pro-
iect which he had carefully ccncocted
in advance. A girl was obtained Ill
founding hospital and substituted
by Lady Mallaby's nurse, who
was in Lewis's pay for the newly
born son and heir. This son and
heir was handed over to another
accomplice, Hester Corrigan, who
was bribed with f10O, half down, in
the shape of half-note, the other
half to be paid when she announced
her safe arrival in Texas with the
stolen child. 1t occurred to Mrs
Corrigan In her transit between Lon
don and Liverpool that though e1OO
would be acceptable on her arrival,
the child would be only an incum-
brance. She therefore threw the
basket containing him out OF the
window, forgetting that in it she had
for safety deposited her purse.
It was the watch borrowed rom
Sir Lewis Mallaby which first aroused
Jacks suspicious. 1t bore the same
,rest-two hammers crossed, with
the motto II strike"-which was
marked upon the linen OF the child
that Dan Blockitt picked up at Kirk
lington station. The initial OF the
name Mallaby conceded with the
monogram H. L. M. From these
facts and what he had been told 10y
Mrs. Sitwell, Jack rapidly drew his
conclusions, and made a bold shot,
which hit the mark as we have seen
| Lewis Mallaby's confession, com
bined with that of Mrs. Gorrigan
who was found by the police, soonre
instated the rightful heir, and Oar
Blockitt in after years hadno reason
to regret the generosity which hat
prompted him to give the littl'
founding the shelter of his rude
