A well known Detroit man is some
what larger in the girth than the line
of beauty and the rules of perfect phys
lone call for. On one Of the recent hot
DAYS he met girl from that town, and,
after tanning himself till his arm was
black and blue, he said:
II don't see why get so hot. Other
people don't seem to suffer as do"
"Well," she replied, lit is very sim
ple. indeed: fat men"
II beg your pardon" he said Taught
lily.
excuse me-" she twittered, sit is
very simple, indeed. Stout men suffer
more because gravity is an ethereal force
continually streaming from space
through every solar or celestial body.
If the body is not movable with rela-
ton to some larger body this force Of
gravity becomes that a form Of molecu-
lar motion which we call heat. As
gravity depends upon the the mass of a
body, and as heat is, in one sense, grav-
ity, IL follows that the larger body is
the hotter il is; hence, Mr.. -"

A Girls Clever Retort.
nlfrnif Erke ~.

Thu professor OF natural science at
Ann Arbor was diScu,.Ing the process
OF fertilizing plants by meanS OF In
sects carrying the pollen fro-a one
plant 10 another, and to muse them
told how old maids W re the ultimate
cause of it all. The humble bees carry
IN pollen, the field mice eat the hum
By, bees; therefore the less field mice
the fever humble bees and the less pol
len and variation OF plants. But cats
devour field mice, and old maids pro-
tect cats. Therefore the more old
maids the more cats, the fewer field
mice the more bees Hence old maids
are the cause OF variety in plants.
Thereupon a sophomore, with SIN
gle eye-glass, an English umbrella, 8
BOX coat, with his trousers rolled up al
the bottom, arose and asked:
IT sa-a-y, proiessah, what is the
cause-ah-of old maids, don't you
know?"
perhaps Miss Jones can tell you,
suggested the professor.
.Dudes!" said Miss Jones sharply,
and without a moments hesitation.

THE POWER OF A MODERN GUN.
Uncle Sam Obliged to Change the Plan Of
His Big Battle Ships.

Uncle Sam Obliged to Change the Plan of
His Big Battle Ships.
New YORK Tribune.1
"Few people," says naval officer, ZAP
preciate the tremendous power of the blast
caused by firing big gun on board Of a
ship. An example of its effect was seen in
some recent trials in firing the 67-ton gun
of the new battle-ship Trafalgar, considered
one of the three or four finest vessels in the
British navy. The gun was pointed directly
ahead, and was fired with charge of $50
pounds of slow-burning power and /, ,250-
pound projectile. The blast produced by
the rush OF the powder-gas and the shot was
SO tremendous that the plates of the fore
castle were forced in and the deck-beams
bent out of shape, while almost every round
carried away some fragment of the project
ing portions of the ship, even when the
training was to the right or the left.
''It is estimated that the vessel would be
reduced to something very like wreck were
25 rounds to be fired, either directly ahead
or directly astern. This interteres with, or
renders impossible, firing when either in
flight or chase, and has caused our naval
constructors to modify the plans for the pro-
iected battle-ships, as it is not deemed de-
sirable to have them sink from the discharge
of their own guns.

His iron jaw became more like iron than
ever. He looked Hutchins in the eye, and
with nothing but the rabbit foot in his
pocket, he SAID, coolly:
"I'll take 1t. Write out your terms and
sign your proposition"
As he did this Beriah Wilkins turned
pale. He did not know what to make of it,
and as the two we're left together, he said
timidlv to Hatton:
"But Frank, where are you going to get
that $4,000? 1 can raise some money, but
I ca MT get $40, 600 here in Washington on
three hours notice"
How He Raised the Money.
"Who in blank asked you to get it?" re-
Joined Hatton, and with that he shut his
Jaws together again and told wilkins not to
worry, that be would attend to it. This was
in the evening. He went home that night
and slept like top. The next morning he
called upon banker friend of his here at
about 10 o'clock. He met him in his private
office and told him that he wanted to buy the
Post, and that he had TO put up $40, 900 by
noon, and that he wanted him to lend him
the $4,000.
He then went over the situation and
showed his friend how the Post could be
made to pay, and the old capitalist grunted
and listened. He continued to listen and
continued to grunt until Hatton got through,
and then walked to the door without giving
an answer He followed Hatton out to the
cab in which he had come to his Office, and
as Hatton got in, still not knowing how the
thing was going to turn out, ne stepped in
after him, and told the cabby to drive to
Riggs bank. Here the two got out aud went
in. and the capitalist gave Frank Hatton q
check for $40, 900. Hatton presented it, and
the money was counted out to him. As soon
as he had seen that 1t was correct he handed
it back and asked for certified check for
$4,000.
A Check With the Rabbits Foot
1t was given him and he folded it up and
put it into his pants pocket beside the rab-
bits foot. He then drove to the.office of1the
Washington Post and reached there within
five minutes of II. He stepped into Mr..
greeted him with the remark which he
judged to be facetious: well, Frank, 1
suppose you've come to buv The Post"
"Yes, L have" replied. General Hatton,
"and I'll take it now."
"Indeed," SAID Hutchins, shut you re-
member that the contract calls for $40, 900 in
cash before noon to-day"
'Oh, that's all right" said Hatton, as
though $4,000 was nothing to him. "Here's
my certified check for the amount
Hutchins was astounded, but he took the
check. aud with that he lost the Post.
The remainder of the purchase money is
