An Ingenious Prisoner.

It Is seldom that a convict turns the
hours Of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose as an inmate Of Maryland
prison. His term of imprisonment is
thirteen years, on a conviction of horse
stealing, of which he insists he was in
nocent. By working overtime he has
earned such sums of money as to enable
him to purchase books, of which his cell
contains over 200. A short time ago,
when electric light wires were being
placed in the prison, he became inter
ested in electricity and bought some
standard works on the subject. The re-
suit was the construction Of half dozen
different electrical appliances, including
a burglar alarm, which he has just COM
pleted for the bedroom of the warden of
the prison.
Another result of his industry is lock
which is so arranged that hammering on
it drives the bolts deeper into their fas-
tening. He exhibited model of this
lock to the warden, who was so pleased
with it that it was at once adopted for
use in the prison. Castings for the locks
were made in the prison foundry, lathe
was set up in the prisoners cell and he
was relieved of all other tasks so that his
entire time could be devoted to the man
ufacture of his locks, with which in a
short time all the dormitories of the
prison will be provided. -Exchange

Against the Insurance Company.

a merchant who was member Of a
mutual accident insurance association
was killed, while hunting for recreation,
from an accidental shot. The associa-
ton provided for the payment of sums
ranging from $1,000 to $500, according
to the occupation Of the member. Mer-
chants certificates call for S. 900; but
the company paid the benefciares of
the man in question only $500, on the
strength of provision that any member
receiving an injury while engaged tenn
porarily i'll another occupation more
hazardous than the one given in his GER
tifcate, he shall be entitled only to sucn
sum as provided for in the occupation in
in which he is engaged at the time of
injury.
The Illinois supreme court held that
the beneficiaries were entitled to the
whole S., 900, as the word Occupation"
in the bylaw has reference to trade, vo-
cation or profession, and does not pre-
clude member from the performance
of acts which are simply incidents con-
nected with the daily life of men in all
pursuits.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

What Makes the Swelling?

Opinions have differed as to the cause of
the swelling and pain resulting from
gnat or mesquite bite. Some have main
tanned, in accordance with what has always
been the popular belief that effects of such
magnitude could not be produced without
the introduction of a poisonous fluid,
though they have failed to show that any
apparatus exists which would be capable
of completely fulfilling such function.
Though this poisonous fluid is itself con-
jectural, purpose has been assigned to 1t,
namely, that of rendering the blood more
liquid, SO that it may the more easily be
sucked up. And that some such function
would have 20 be assumed is tolerably GER
tain, since the poison could hardly be re-
garded merely as an implement of offense,
and consequently an advantage to its pos
sesser.
1t seems scarcely open to question that,
apart from some such function for the
poison as above, the insects could far more
easily obtain the blood they covet and far
less precautions would be taken against
them if they did not produce any painful
results and thus rouse the hostility of their
victims, and that, therefore, from that
point of view, poison could not be an ad-
vantage. IL, JucEelCTc, pOiSOu eAlSJS, us
function must undoubtedly be to facilitate
the drawing of the blood and not to serve
as weapon.
Influenced by the anatomical difficulties
above mentioned, other observers have
maintained that no poisonous fluid is in
jected, but that the laceration of tissues
produced by the six minute, acutely point
ed and in some cases barbed organs which
constitute the borer is sufficient to account
for the Inflammation and itching This
hypothesis, again, is not without objection.
1t would appear that the insect sometimes
experiences difficulty in getting at the
blood it desires, for deep perforations Of
the skin may be made without drawing
blood, and then no swelling occurs and lit
tie pain is felt. This certainly appears a
formidable difficulty in the way of the lat
ter xplanation.-Knowledg

Radical English Fashions Don. Go.

! The recent refusal TO sanction with
the customary prompt enthusiasm sew
eral of the most radical changes in the
regime that have been made Of late years
by London swells has had decidedly
discomfting effect upon our English
cousins. Their confidence OF leadership
has received naturally severe shock in
consequence. From all accounts the
London swell mob is passing through a
period Of experimentation. AS result
mems fashions abroad have not been SO
unsettled in fifty years.
The heavy swells continue cropping
eimlessly after the elusive innovation.
For their independence at this time,
therefore, Americans have cause for self
congratulation-the more particularly

character of some of the foreign ultra

The Best of Hunters Get Lost.

Stories are told of guides who have
dropped sticks into streams to find which
way they were flowing, and when the sticks
went in different direction from what
they thought was right disregarding their
plain testimony and avowing that the
stream was running up hill
Other stories are told of hunters who
have been found frozen to death in the
depths of tangled swamps with compasses
picked to pieces because they would not
point the way the bewildered man thought
they should, and SO were plainly out of
killer.
These stories, though individually unre-
liable bear witness TO a general truth. The
fact is, that it is the easiest thing in the
world under certain circumstances to be-
come turned around" in the woods, and
no one is exempt from this falling
Old hands know and understand this
fact. 1t is only the tyros who do not, and
who ridicule those who own up TO having
been lost. And when these scoffers go
into the woods themselves, nine times out
out of ten there comes a night when they
do not turn up at camp.
Then there is rejoicing among those who
have borne their arrogance, for it is the
turn of these to crow, and they who laugh

Lettuce Matured by ElectrIcitx.

Among the bulletins of the agricultural
experiment station of Cornell university is
one that gives very interesting account
of some experiments made on plants with
view of determining he influence of the
electric light upon their growth. To that
end a greenhouse was divided into two
equal parts BY a tight board partition. On
one side the plants are left to the ordinary
conditions OF growth, but on the other
side the vegetation was treated to the sun
light by day and TO the electric light by
night.
The results of these experiments showed
that the use OF the electric light at night
FASTENED the maturity of the plants. and
the nearer they grew TO the light the
greater was the acceleration. Lettuce thus
treated was sold two weeks earlier than
its eighbors on the other side Of the parti-
ton, although both were planted at the
same time. Equally successful results
were obtained with other vegetables

The Story of Thompson's Unique Pipe.

Officer Thompson, of the Eighth pre-
cint. has pipe made from the right fore
knee cap of a gray mule, and since he came
into possession Of it nothing but good luck
has attended him. He is rather reticent in
talking of the queer pipe, but Officer Hut
ton who is familiar with its history. says
that should it get lost his brother officer
believes some i'll luck would at once befall
him, and for this reason he keeps a close
watch over it. The pipe was made, 1t is
said, by an old negro WHO lived years ago
on the BIadensburg road, and was pre-
scented by him TO a colored girl to whose
charms he had succulnb bed. The girl was
arrested, and when searched the pipe was
found in her pocket.
After it had passed through the arrest
ing officers and the station keepers hands
she refused to receive it back, saying that
Il charm" was lost since white mans
hand had touched it. Her reason for believ-
ing this was that the old negro had warned
her never to let a white man even look at
1t, and ii she did she would have bad luck
and finally fall into the hands of the night
doctors" So strongly did the girl believe
this that when released she went out Of
the station sobbing
Strange as it may appear the girl disap-
peared from home within few days, and
has never been heard Of since. Whether or
not her body ever reached the dlssecting
table no one can say. Whatever became
OF the old man i not known, but he disap-
peared, evidently not az the hands Of
might doctors" because his personal ef
fects disappeared al the same time.
This story reached the ears OF Officer
Thompson, and he determined TO fall heir
to the queer pipe and be did it. II is said
that since be began smoking IL be has had
