Tho Funny Story Related by Veracious
Boston Cabman.


perhaps we Herdic-men don't have an
adventure" said q cabby. The funniest
thing that ever happened TO me was this:
L got passenger at the Albany depot one
night and drove him to q certain hotel. lie
was rich man. I think, judging from hisap-
pearance, and before he got into the cab
he handed me 81 and told me to keep the
change. He asked me TO go upstairs with
him and take down some valises. When L
got them into the cab there wasn't much
room for anything else. went back to
the room, and the hrst words he said were:
Go in thcre!' pointing 10 n big closet.
He told me I'd find another valise IN there.
| went in, and as | did he locked the closet
door on me, and was prisoner. L heard
him go out and shut the door, and then L
began TO kick like steer and to call on
the bloke TO let me out. In about twenty
minutes whoever occupied the next room
called the porter and | WAS let out. Az
first they wanted to arrest me as thief
but finally l convinced them l was all
right.
"The Job was now 10 get my horse and
cab. Going onto the street asked different
drivers il they had seen my cab. One cab
man said he had seen strengthening
man for cab-driver on box driving. into
BowdOin Square. got cabman 10 drive
me 10 the Square, and, sure enough, my
cab was standing in front of the Revere
House. The valises were in the cab, and
the bloke who bad locked me IN the closet
was in the bar-room trying 10 get drink.
[ went in and told him that he tried To do
me mp, and that he hadn't succeeded, and
that | wanted him 10 take his valises. He
looked at me aud said was fool; that he
never saw me before, and that he didn't
have any valises.
81 tried to tell how il was, but he
wouldn't have it. As he left the bar-room
ne told me he'd shoot me if didn't keep
away from him. I got afraid Of HIM then,
~ he was full, and put the yalises in the
Revere House. The last l saw of the man
be was going toward Howard street.
II didn't think any more about the mat
ter. surprising he would call for his valises
every day, but time went by and the clerk
AZ the Revere said nobody had called for
them. One day | met the inspector of
hacks and carriages and | told him about
them. His eyes opened and he said he had
been looking for the valise for month.
They belonged TO rich New iOrkmerchant,
and were worth several thousand dollars,
as they were filed with silks. There was
diamond brooch in one that was worth
x2.5O0. He had come TO Boston to marry q
girl Just outside the city, and was loaded
with presents. He got 10 drinking on the
way, ana PROBABLY hau m eicsahV JaS Vh
when Imet him. He did not know what be
was doing from the moment we began TO
take out the yalises until he sobered up
next day.
"Of course. he hadn't shown up to be
married, and finding himself without his
four valises felt pretty sore. The marriage
never came of. lie sent me a V for my
honesty. 1t was worth more than that to
be locked up as long as | was"

OIL on the Waters.


Mr.. Oman Thomas, of North Haven, has
invented an apparatus for spreading oil on
the waves during q gale OF wind. Mr.
Thomas. who was formerly sailor. SAYS
the great difficulty in the use OF the oil IN
a storm at sea is that when spread on the
surface the wind blows it to leeward and
the effect is lost. his device is TO ooyiate,
this difficulty. It consists of mortar ana y,
bomb. The latter is nearly a globular shell
OF cast iron filed with oil. On the slde
toward the muzzle, as it lies in the
mortar, is an aperture closed by, hinged
cover, fitting tightly and fastened
with sort of a latch: This latch
is so constructed that when the NOR
tar is discharged the pressure OF inc
air releases it. But the aperture III ire
shell is not opened till it strikes the water
and sinks beneath the surface. The shell
is so weighted that as it sinks the aperture
is uppermost, and the cover is lifted py
the pressure OF the oil upon it. Thus the
oil is released well beneath the surface,
and rises through the waves. producing
the most etfectual results. 1t is beiieved
that life-saving crews supplied WIN TINS
apparatus could smooth the waters acout
a stranded'wreek so that it would be posi-
bic to board it when it could DO done oy
no other means.

Loss $1,000. 900.

TonoNro, February 15.-It is estimated
that the total loss by the University IRE
will be 81, 100000. THIS includes the IL
brary, valued at 500. 900. and all the equip,
ment. which was generally of the most
modern style. The loss Of records and
historical and other documents and many
valuable papers belonging TO the president,
Sir Daniel Wilson, cannot be estimated oy
dollars and cents, for they cannot be re-
ulaced.

Good Invention for bicycles.

A pneumatic tire for bicycles, which
promises to make new era IN bicycing IS
reported from Belfast, Ireland. The tir ire
for a full roadster is about two ana a.na All
inches in diameter, and is composed OF an
outer covering Of rubber, graduated IN
thickness from about quarter OF an inch
where it touchesthe ground, and protected
by canvas where il is attached to the RIM
which is very broad and nearly fiat. In
side this covering is an inner tube wn'ch
contains the air. Tho air Is pumped 10
with football blower. and q patent-air
valve prevents it's return Vibration is
practically annihilated. 1t is intercepted
between the rim and the ground, and con-
sequcntly the frame receives no. jar, ex-
cept when an unusually large hole Is en-;
countered. A frame 30 protected Is SAID
TO wear out two frames with solid tired
wheels, and the riders are able TO use very
much lighter frames without any danger
Of their collapsing.
