After being freed from the bark the biock ks

which continuous strip OF veneer is
turned OF precisely the thickness OF a

In the forenoon of Jan. 81, 1889, the
old building at Park row and Ceek1nan
street caught fire. The 0-story building
had only one stairway and was filled
with people. The building being old
and dry, the flame spread rapidly, and
many people found a terrible death.
Just as it seemed that no human being
could escape death three men were seen
in an upper window. The firemen
quickly brought ladders, but the longest
reached only half the distance. In the
crowd colored bootblack, Charles
Wright, saw that fastened to the roof of
the building, just above the window
where the men were, was a telegraph
wire, and that this wire ran across the
street to the top of a telegraph pole in
City Hall park.
lie saw that if the wire was cut in the
park it would fall right across the win
dow, SO that the men could descend by
1t. In an instant he seized fireman's
wrench that lay near by, ran across the
street and began to climb the tall, smooth
telegraph pole. 1t was not easy in the
wind and snow, but by lard climbing
Wright soon reached tho crossbars.
Quickly he twisted the wire rope of.
Down it fell, right across the window!
The crowd shouted for joy as one after
another the three men came down in
safety. For moment only the boy was
forgotten. 1t was not long before every
one had heard Of Charles Wright, the
boy who saved three lives.-Cor. New
York Press.

Scientific Calculations.

An electrical writer has calculated
that the firing Of small pistol sets
free about COO foot pounds OF energy,
while watch consumes about 1-54 co.,
o0oth of horsepower, the energy Of the
bullet being sufficient to keep the timo
for two years. An Edison telephone
transmitter requires about l.o00th Of the
energy in o watch. 1t would therefore
be worked for a.oco years on the energy
exerted in the pistol. A lightning flash

that he could not climb tree. He soon
discovered, however, that something was
wrong with his climbing apparatus, so be
gave it up. The boat, bottom side up, had
drifted against some trees about 10 feet
away, and Buster swan there and man

itself between my coat ard my back, and
there hung like grasshopper on barb

pended about 10 feet above the water.
II shouted myself hoarse calling for help,
but only the echoes answered me. fancied
that lurking grin overspread the counte

disasters, he threw his head back and Joined
his hands to mine. The horrible absurlity
OF the situation made it terrible to think
OF anybody coming and yet shouted and
yelled for dear life, every breath hoping
that some one would hear me and come.
And yet hung there two mortal hours

Relief came Mt last, but in way that

A boating party of two ladies' and two zen
tiemen heard his cries, rowed to his relief

hunter was going on at great length when
a remark of the correspondent caused him
to close thus abruptly:
