Telephones In a storm.

A celebrated Lnglish oculist warns
the public against the use of the tele-
phone during a thunder storm, and re
lates an incident that occurred to Il
friend of his, who went to the telephone
for the purpose Of acQuaintinG the cen

ment would not be available until it

shock, which he described as " a SeYere
box on the ear'-hC was unhurt. In
this respect he was fortunate than
an artillcryman who while using the
telephone in the field during some re-
cent military maneuverS, was struck
dead by Il powerful current Of cleo
tricity which passed over the telephone.

of g young lady of twenty years. An
swer: Age, 20; height, ) feet 4 inches
to ) feet 4 IL; weight, rs to 122
pounds; bust, 90 IL to 33 inches; waist,
81 to 30 1-2 inches; bust over biccps,
Il 10 AZ inches; ankle. 6 "a 10 Z IA
inches; shoe size, 3 IL. This is one
standard; others give waist measure
an inch or possibly two inches larger,
On the theory that a strictly perfect
form must not have q compressed waist.
There are, however, various authori-
ties, none Of which agree. Some prefer
Juno. others Venus, and yes others
some fairy-like creature who would be
of but little value 10 the world other
than as an ornament or a plaything.

those who are best qualified to judge
that the medium is most TO be desired

Il must have lain there half an hour,
and my elation was rapidly subsiding
before the agony in my shoulder, when
at last my man, Gunject, appeared,
tracking the tigers traces with stealthy
caution.
He had not waited to go for help,
but had followed up the beast without
delay, vowing to save me or avenge
me ere he slept. His delight was SO
sincere, and his courage in tracking
the tiger alone was so unquestionable,

The enormous amount of heat habi-
tually wasted in cooling molten Stag
has melted an Australian to work out
a scheme for generating steam by this
means. The boiler or receptacle for
the water has running through 1t from
top to bottom funnel-shaped pipes,
something after the style Of a candle
mold. The molten Stag is poured into
these receptacles and communicates
its heat to the water. When the Stag
becomes solid a door at the bottom of
each receptacle is opened, the Stag is
Knocked out, and the whole filled
again. The apparatus has been tried
and 100 pounds pressure Of steam
raised. If the ideas of the inventor be
thoroughly carried out the value Of
the process will be enormous.

face IN the sand. Not knowing where

to rise. when instantly a huge paw
turned me over on my back, and | saw
the great yellow-green eyes of a tiger
looking down upon me through their

ten what use l should put it to.

Having carried me perhaps half a

ND to meet her. At the first glimpse
of me, however, they sheered off in

for some minutes, rolling me over soft

and laying me down in front of them,

\ TIGERS PLAYTHING

My uncle, Col. Jack Anderson, a re-
tired officer of the English army, was
q retlcent TAI He had never ex-
plained 10 me the cause of n certain
long red scar, which, starting from
the Srlzzled locks behind his ear, ran
ulagonally down his rudy neck, and
was lost beneath his eyer-immaculate
shirt collar. But tonight an incidental
circumstance led him to tell the story.
We were sitting coZily over my
study fire, when my cat came stalking
III with sanguinary citation, holding n
mouse in her mouth. She stood gr0wl-
ing beside my chair till / ~applauded
her and patted her for her prowess.
Then she withdrew to the middle of

half-daZcd victim, till / got up and gen.

place. Here and there were clumps
OF tall grass and bamboOS, with now
and then u tamarisk tree. Parrots
screamed in the trees, and the startled
cav Of some Indian rows made me
pause and look around to see what
had disturbed them.

A MOST WONDERFUL DOG

Those people who do not believe I'm
dog stories are really subjects for heart
felt commiscratiOn; they have either
been unfortunate in their canine ac-
quaintanceS Of have not the penetration
requisite for proper Interpretation Of
dog characteristics. A Louisville rail-
road man has n dog that distinguishes
the days of the week and different
railroad trains. On days when Midget's
owner made his regular trips the dog
accompanies him TO the station, but
never attempts to board the train-just
stays on the platform, an interested
spectator, and Wags his tail chCcrfully
as the train moves out. ON other days
and other trainS-suburban trains to
Falkland or Pewce Nallcy-he hops
aboard without hesitation. evidently
aware that the ride in prospect is one
that he may share. Midget sWCarS,
too; swears like a pirate.
The family understands him. but they
report that his language is too terrible
TO be repeated. When things don't go
to suit him he rctireS under a bed or
sofa and lies there rolling off oaths Of
fearful description for hours. A young
man who was attentive to Midget's
young mistress unintentionally offended
him, but tn" dog got even. He actually
broke off the match. He knew the reg
ular nights on which the youth ap-
peared, and at an early hour would en-
scOnce himself under the parlor sofa,
from which coign Of vantage he would
growl forth such vollpyS Of personal
and prOfanc remarks that the prospec-
tive lover became intimidatcd and
ceased his attentions. In recognition of
which services Midget'S master gave
him n beautiful collar.

HERE is A TROLLEY CRANK.

He Predicts That the Atlantic VIII
He Crossed by Means of the Troll
tey.
Perhaps the steamer Of the future
will be operated on a trolley by mean
OF a submarine cable. The advantages
of this plan would be great, rs it would
prevent the necessities of carrying inn
mense quantities Of fuel and of keep
ing the vessel loaded down with enor
o engines. All the delay and diff
Guilty and expense Of managing furnaces
and engines on board ship would be
done away with by the oceanic trolley
system and the ships could be made so
much lighter that they could 90 whiZ~
Zing across the ocean in n couple of
days. Danger of accident could be
brought TO be no greater than it is at
present by having a sufficient number
OF repair steamers on the route, which
could keep the cables in repair and in
case of any accident to the trolley could
bring he passenger boat into port
or put it again in connection with the
cable.
There IAN be no question that the
proper means of crossing the Atlantic
quickly is by some system which will
allow the motive power to be applied
from the shore, either, by u trolley or a
cable. The limit of speed for ships
that carry engines and fuel is certainly
practically reached on the surface, and
there are difficulties in the way of sub
marine navigation which it would be
hard TO conquer. The trolley system
is capable Of greater extension. and we
may yet live TO get 10 Europe by its
means.
