queried a boy.
Buck, on being asked the question,
nodded, and with his thumb in his

$ But Buck merely shook his head and
said nothing.
The poor little hanging wretch grew
m ,re and more quiet as the moments
fle by. His teeth was shut close,
bui his lips were slightly parted, and
his eyes stared with a dumb, beseech-
ing, horrifying agony. After the lapse
OF few minutes his struggles ceased,
he turned slowly from side to side;
then there was a shivering; the eyes
rolled upward, and became fixed.

Buck looked at the speaker and
then at the swinging body. He told
them to hold, the body while he climb
ed the tree to unite the knot. They
did so; but through a little careless
ness or ignorance they allowed the
body to lunge to one side, and it fell
to the ground like log. They stared
at it, and a boy asked: 9
"Why don't you get up, Tony?"
"What are you dong your eyes

"Ain't he still?" remarked third.

He was lying on his back. They
raised him by his arms to q sitting
posture; but as soon as they released
him he toppled to one side and fell,
his face buried in the sand. The boys
were thoroughly alarmed. They felt
that something awful had happened,
but were ignorant of its nature.

No answer.
"Does anybody known"

scHooLBoY MECHANICS.

Curious Cognomens Given Boys
at School.
Schoolboys are almost invariably
known to their fellows by some strange
sobriquets, rarely indeed, by their
proper names. The variation of these
is extremely curious, and sometimes
considerable quickness in Selling upon
popularity is shown in fitting new
boy with nickname which will last
the whole of his school career, and
very possibly will descend, as is often
the case, to the brothers who may
succeed him. In one school five
brothers who attended theschool con-
secutively, were known by the name
Of "Bones." The family name being
Jones, the transition was easy and
natural.
A very curious nickname was that
of the boy who was known as Quo
decim Snails," and it was acquired in
funny way. The class was engaged
at Latin lesson, and to q question
of the master this boy replied ''duode
Gin" instead of "duodecimus" to the
amusement Of the class generally.
Later in the lesson, the same boy in
translating Virgil hesitated at a word.
A boy next to him mischievously
whispered 'tsnails," and, without a
moments thought, the translator re-
peated the word. There was q roar
of laughter, in which the master join
ed, and ever after that boy was
"Duodecim Snails.'
Ii q stranger overheard a boy talk
ing to another about "the Rats" he
might be puzzled, yet this cognomen
was borne by three brothers who at
tended the school together. The
Christian name OF the elder was Rat
clitfe, which was capable ofconvenient
abbreviation, and when the younger
brothers came to the school the three
were known as "the Rats"
Sometimes the same boy is known by
an enormous number Of names. The
writer remembers case in which sew
eral fellows once calculated that an
other boy in the school bore between
forty and fifty nicknanes. Some of
these were doubtless lmprovised for
the occasion, but most of them were
quite genuine. Needless to say, this
boy was one Of the best-tempered in
the school.
A tall, thin boy was always known
as "the Broomstick," and another
who had spent part of his life in India
was called Unfortunately 'tthe
Thug or "Buddha. It'd Bits.

THE TACKEY.
Means of Defense Used Against Os-
triches.

Means of Defense Used Against Os-
triches.
When the birds are savage. or quei,
as the Dutch call it, they become very
aggressive and it is impossible to walk
about the camps unless armed with a
weapon OF defense called a tackey.
This is long and stout branch of
mimosa, with the thorns all left ON at
the end. ut seems but a feeble pro-
lection against a foe who. with one
stroke of his immensely powerful leg
can easily kill a man, the kick, no
less violent than that of a horse, being
rendered infinitely more dangerous by
the formidable claw with which the
foot is armed" Those however, who
are we'll practiced in the use of the
tackey have no difficulty in dealing
with the most furious bird. They
thrust the thorns in his face, and he
shuts his eyes and is bewildered and
the man goes on. Fortunately, one is
never assailed by more than one os-
trich at a time; for, in the large camps
each one has his own domain. separ-
ated from those of the others by some
imaginary boundary line of his
own. within which he defends his
claims with vigor. Any other ostrich
daring to invade his territory is at
once attacked, and the human in
truder is carefully looked ont for till
he is seen safely away. Immediately
after thus speeding the parting guest
the most savage bird is quite harmless;
he dismisses you from his thoughts
and walks quietly back. feeding as he
goes. And in the distance you see

entered, and whose sharp eyes spied
you out the instant your foot crossed
his frontier. He now advances toward
you with jerl1y spasmodic movements.
as if he were bowling you welcome;
this however. is far from his thoughts.
and, after sitting down once or twice
to give you his challenge-whereby
he hopes you will be inundated he

Ma Jenkyns Found That She Co nIih's

She was mild hammered little wo-
man and she let Mrs Jenkyns. the
gossip ramble along with her string
of scandalous stories although she
did not encourage their recital by word
or look She even betrayed no sur
prise when Mrs. Jenkyns, told her that
she had been informed by an intimate
friend that the little woman's husband
was extremely attentive to that ter
rible firt Miss Brown" Nor did she
display any jealousy when che was
further informed that Mrs Jenkyns
had accidentally learned that he had
been seen at the theater several times
with Miss Brown. She simply smiled
sweetly and said:
"a woman doesn't like to hear such
stories about her husband, does she?"
mo. indeed, " responded Mrs. Jen-
kyns with emphasis.
Especially" continued the little
woman, when she has confidence in
her husband" ..
THAT makes it so much harder to
bear" said Mrs. Jenkyns. Il should
take pains to have it stopped"
"Of course. OF course" said the
little woman pleasantly, and a moment
later she changed the subject by ask
ing in her quiet way: DO you keep
calling list?" -, 3.
.'Oh, yes; have to, said the gossip,
''and it's SO hard to keep up"
The little woman got book out of
her dainty little writing desk.

she said. Perhaps you'd like to
study it. See; there are the AS and

TANNING by ELECTRICITY.
"A New Process successfully Employed In
France.

A New Process successfully Employed in
Philadelphia Telegraph.
/ For some time past reports have been
current as to the perfection in France Of
a method of tanning by electricity, and
the matter has excited great curiosity
throughout the country. This country
is, as America Is, one Of the largest
leather producing countries in the world,
and has no fewer than 5000 or 1900
tanning establishments. Within the
present month the process has actually
been experimental with in America,
and the results arc now exciting no
small amount OF discussion and contro'
versy in leather circles. The process,
which is the invention Of Worms d
Bale, Of Paris, has been under
trial abroad since 1887, in tam
merry in Paris, and another large
tannery has been started for the
same purpose at Lonjumeau. A third
plant has been established at BeImond-
sey, the great leather district in London.
In this method the tanning Is expedited
IN two ways; first, by the agitation Of
the skins in contact with ths tanning
liquor, and secondly, by the passage OF
the electric current through the body
Of the liquid. To attain these two ends
circular drum is employed, and as the
drum rotates current is passed through |
it by means Of wire brought TO con-
facts at its side. The skins to undergo
this process are prepared in the ordin-
airy way, their hair being taken of BY
lime, and they are then put into the
drum with the tanning solution. The
current to which they are adjusted
averages about seventy to one hundred
volts, and the direction Of the current Is
changed every twelve hours, 80 as TO
cut equally on the skins, which consti-
tute the electrodes. During the opera
ton the liberation OF the gas ia
Insignificant, 80 that the hides
may be considered to act in the
same way as the plates of an accumula-
tor. Goat and sheepsl:ins require only
about twenty.four hours for complete
tanning. 0aifskins require forty.efght
hours. Cows, steers amp horsehides re-
quire from ssventy.two to ninety:six
hours, according to their texture. Tbe
Gather produced in this way has been
examined by experts, and II is said to be
OF excellent quality. Nine hundred AID
ulueteun pounds Of hide, treated in this
electrical mannera at Newark, gave 1913
pounds Of leather in four days, while
,O42 pounds OF hides subjected to the
action Of the revolving drum, but with
ont the current turned on, gave only
1910 pounds OF poorly tanned hide.
Hence there appears to be economies
additional to those involved in the saw
ing OF time. As far as the electrical pro.
cess goes, it may be said that it is based
upon thoroughly sound theoretical con.
sideralions, which have been tested and
proved by some ofthe best known cleo.
tricians in France and England.
