A Valuable Rattle.

Il used to be a customs inspector
in New York." said Robert Grosch,
who is at the Occidental. "We had
received advices that some diamonds
were to be struggled in, and one day
when passenger steamer arrived l
saw young couple with a small
child and suspicious-looking hand
bag which the mother carried. The
husband went to another part Of the
steamship, and J stepped up to the
young woman and told her | would
have to examine the handbag. She
looked startled and turned q little
pale, l fancied, but said: 'All right,
sir; just hold the baby, and I'll I'M
lock it for you / took the little
fellow in my arms, and shook the
rattle which he had in his hand, and
he laughed and crowcd while his
mamma opened the diminutive valise,
and demonstrated to my satisfaction
that it contained no dutiable goods.
| searched in vain for the diamonds,
and when my chief afterward learned
that the baby's rattle, which l had
shaken TO amuse the child, contained
several thousand dollars worth OF
diamonds he discharged me, and
that's how L happen to be selling dry
goods. Seattle Press-Times.

the measurements on the circumfcr-
snce OF the oval will not all be the
same. That this is the case any one
may demonstrate for himself by draw
ing an oval and its minor axis, and
then, from the center of the oval, with
radius equal TO its semi-minOr axis,
inscribing a circle in the oval. III,
now, degrees, or rather, for conven-
fence, equimultiples OF a degree, be
set off from the common center, the
geometry Of the figure will show at
once the variations in the circular
measurements on the circumference
of the oval.
Now, a mean degree OF the earth's
meridian is the average length Of
these three hundred and sixty I'M
equal measurements, and 1t is OBJ
tanned by dividing the length of the
meridian by three hundred and sixty.
Astronomers have measured the
earth's meridian and found it to be
13l ,259, 2S7 English feet Dividing
this by three hundred and sixty, we
get 1854, 609.13 feet as the length OF a
mean degree Of the meridian. One
sixtieth Of this, then, is knot; and
thus, by division, a knot is found to
be 6076.S1S feet, or 2025.6 yards, or
l mile 1855 yards.
1t will now be convenient to notice
that a knot being 6076. 8l8 feet, and
mile being $3.50 feet, the proper
tion Of knot to mile is very nearly
as 6,076 is to $3.50; or, dividing by
four, as 1910 is to 1920, which is
very nearly as 10 to 13. So that, for
ordinary purposes, knots may be con-
verted into miles by taking thirteen
knotsfas equal to fifteen miles, and
vice versa.

She Lost Her Smoking-Set.

A youthful countess, bearer of one
of the most ancient titles in the Aus
trian nobility, recently having the
misfortune to be despoiled of her
treasures by thieves while travelling,
publishes the following list Of articles
as stolen from her trunks: "One gold
cigarette case, meerschaum mouth
piece, set in gold; an aluminium cigar
cite case, an Irish pipe, almost black
in appearance. gold mounted, with
an onyx mouthpiece; a silver match
box, gold cigarette pipe, four plain
cigarette cases in gold, silver and
platinum, and one set with diamonds
and rubies." Rather a formidable
outfit for a lady of high degree, sug-
gestive of the prevalence of the smok-
ing habit among women Of royal walk

Living Upon Locusts.

A correspondent, writing upon the
locust plague in North Africa, says:
I'm reference to the diet of ST. John
the Baptist, who lived on locusts and
wild honey in the wilderness, there
are Sunday-school teachers who can
not believe that any one would volun-
tarily live on such food, and, there
fore, say that the locust beam the
fruit Of the crab tree, is meant by the
writer's of the New Testament.
can only reply that the locust cricket,
the acrydum pelerinum, order orthop-
terra, variety Saltatoria-the flying
sauterelle Of Africa-is sold at half
penny per pound in the market place
OF Biskra (Which is the second oasis
from the north in the Sahara), and
that there it is cooked by boiling with
salt and water, as shrimps are boiled
here. / myself have little doubt
that it is more nutritious than the
latter, because in March, when the
insect is gathered and dried, it is as
full Of albumen as an egg"

A Study In Black.
"Pop?"

"GOp!
A little boy stood beside a gam
bling table, long ago, in an Idaho
mining town, and addressed this
trembling word to one Of the players.
The father was rough man with
great sinewy hands, grizzled face
and thin, merciless lips.
But his eyes-how vicious and
utterly lost the light that flashed
from their reddish balls!
SAY, pop, when you goln' home?"
Again the timid voice came to the
rough man, and he laid down his
cards deliberately and turned around.
The 10y knew the light that blazed
from those eyes only too well, and he
drew back and huddled himself to-
gether in piteous but mute appeal
Tor mercy.
whats that to you, you young
whelp? Git out o. here, now, an
don't We waste mint or I'll be the
death o. you. Are you goin'?"
Slowly, sadly the little fellow
turned and walked to the saloon door,
Then he paused to look back and
found those vicious red eyes still
fixed upon him, and the voice came
TO his ears:
what you stoppin' fur? Git"
And gulping down a sob that was
rising in his throat, the boy passed
through the door.
For another hour the players silent
~ played their cards, and the rough
man said, as he took the pack in his
hands,
"How many cards, Pete?
But before Pete could reply there
came the quiyering words:
Pop, hain't you mos done?"
The rough man cried out an oath
and turned. He did not say a word,
but he drew back his great sinewy
dst to strike the shivering child.
Hold up, Ike Baker!" cried Pete,
leaning across the table and catching
the raised arm, don't you hit 'im."
There was devilishness in the red
eyes, and had he struck, it would
have been blow to kill.
For q. moment not a sound was
heard, and then came the nose Of a
scuffle from an adjoining table.
"Ole Copper is havin' it out with
Big jerry" volunteered bystander.
A moment later pistol shot was
heard--one shot was ala shot that
laid the little boy with trembling
voice low on the saloon floor. A
higher power had made Of Big Jerry
an instrument In concentrating a
merciful deed.
Good God, Ike" cried Pete, big
Jerry has killed yer boy!"
Not the CULVER Of muscle-not a
shadow Of expression crossed the
rough mans stolid face. He cast one
glance Of his vicious red eyes toward
the little lifeless heap on the floor,
then, drawing revolver, he turned
it upon Big Jerry and shot him dead
where he was standing.
"Blood for blood" he muttered,
catching up the pack once more with
his sinewy hands. "fIOw many cards
did you say, Pete?"-F'ree Press.

an hour without apparent reason.
One Of the passengers who lived in .
town fifteen or twenty miles ahead OF
us, and who had q dozen or more parcels
piledsup on the seat, soon began to fret
and fume.
isn't he going to get us there before
midnight?" he growled as the train
slowed up. Then, as the speed in
creased until we seemed to be flying he
continued:
"He'll have us of the track! That en-
gineer Is surely drunk! Some one ought
to hunt up the conductor"
When we had run ten or twelve miles
in the manner described the conductor
came through our car on his way for
ward. He had an anxious look on his
face, and did not stop TO answer ques-
tions Before lie was out of the coach,
however. there was terrific crash.
1t was Gods mercy that every man
and woman was not killed outright, but,
strangely enough, mono OF the passen-
gers were even badly bruised. When
we had extricated ourselves from the
wreck we went forward to the engine.
1t was off the track, on its lack, and
under the broken wheels and twisted
and bert machinery lay the engineer and
fireman, both dead.
Some one crept into the broken window
of the cab to shut of the steam, and
when he reappeared he had package
with the engineers name on it. Inside
was a toy horse, three or four wooden
soldiers, a whistle, and other childish
playthings. He, as we'll as others, had
some one who was eagerly expecting San
Ia Claus.
We had run into the rear Of freight
train which was taking sidi ing to let us
pass We were just fifty seconds on her
time. As the trainmen gathered to res
cue the bodies from the wreck one OF
them took paper from the dead engl-
neer's hand. 1t was a telegram received
at the last station and read
"Fred was burned to death this noonl
Mary"
Then we accounted for the wild run
ming of the train-for what had before
been mystery. There was the Santa
Claus gifts for the dear boy at home;
there was the telegram blasting all
hopes destroying all visions OF happi-
ness shattering in one moment a thou
sand plans for the future. And men
gathered closer and wiped away tears
and whispered:
"And who now can comfort the moth
er.ess widow! What a Christmas the
morrow will bring her."

A Knot or Nautical Mile.

How much is knot? This question
is asked, we believe, in every sea pas
sage by some passenger or other, and
never meets with clear reply. Sailors
themselves do not describe it distinct
ly, and books OF reference differ as to
its dimensions. We purpose to answer
the question here.
A knot Is one-sixtieth of a mean
degree Of the earth's meridian. This
definition requires explanation and
also numerical computation.
The earths meridian is commonly
described as any circle whose center
is the center OF the earth, and whose
circumference passes through the
poles. This is not exact, because the
meridian Is not true circle. Evil
IDENTIFY, it would be true circle il the
earth were a true sphere, but the
earth is not true sphere; it is a
spheroid, its diameter measured on
the axis being less than its diameter
at the equator Hence the circum-
ference Of a section of the earth by a
plane passing through its center and
the poles, which circumference is a
meridian, is not a true circle but an
oval. Bearing this in mind, it will
be easy to understand the meaning of.
n mean degree Of the earth's merid
ian.
II three hundred and sixty separ-
ate degrees be set off from the center
Of perfect circle, il is evident that
the circular measure OF each degree
measured on The circumference Of the
circle will be the same. But IL they
be set of from the center Of an oval,
