Postofice Candidates.

THE SENTINEL. is informed that
several, if not all, of the postoffice
candidates in Winston and Salon
have written to Congressman Bower
asking him for his endorsement. His
reply to each, it is said, is that
man to have SO many friends to re-
commend for the same office, and that
it would be more satisfactory all
around if each town could settle upon
one man.

In a German Workshop.

We had to be at work at 6 o'clock in
the morning and to keep on till 8 o'clock
at night. Even on Sundays we worked
from 6 o'clock to dinner time. Some
would keep on till it was dark on Sun
day evening and content themselves with
knocking off early, as they called it. And
such work!
Everybody would work as if the house
were on fire. 1t was all ~piecework. The
man who stood next myself had made
veneered chests of drawers for 80 years,
and never had made anything else. He
would turn out two veneered chests of
drawers in a week, and the work was
faultless. These chests would, I am
sure, sell readily in Brisbane for from
e12 to Els each. He earned about 9
Prussian thalers per week. On the other
side Of me stood a man who made Ger
man secretaries. There were nine or ten
men in the shop. The master was work
ing too. He seemed just as poor as the
men.
Whenever work was finished, some
furniture dealer would come round and
buy it. The men seemed all more or less
askew in their bodies with overwork. If
ever they had an ambition in their lives,
it was to instill a proper sense of respect
into the two Observation-Disclosures
of a Danish Emigrant."

An Atmosphere In Outer Space.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is of course a piece of
everyday knowledge. But it has been
left to Professor Pietet, who has been
conducting some experiments on this
subject, to discover that at a tempera-
ture of $50 degrees below the centigrade
zero there is no chemical action between
nitric or sulphuric acid and potash, be-
tween oxygen and potassium, though
under ordinary circumstances the affinity
of the latter metal for oxygen is so great
that it will burn if thrown into water,
owing to its combination with the oxygen
in that fluid. But if the electric spark
is played on bodies which have thus lost
the power of chemical affinity some
new and curious combinations result.
The latest investigations, the conclusions
Of which, however, have been theoretic-
ally presaged for some years past, may
require us to reconsider the question of
the temperature of outer space and the
possibility Of an at ~1osphere composed of
gases in combination existing there

riedly. Jump in. Here comes the ice,
and we have a slim chance Of lodging
it."
Too late. Even a Jasper sprang to
the boat the water heaved and tossed,
and the rumble of the dread avalanche
deepened to a roar. Half a dozen cakes
of ice swirled by, rising and falling with
the waves. Curt pulled straight down
stream, while his companion crouched
in the stern of the boat, helpless with
terror. But the race could end in only
one way. The line of broken ice came
grinding on like a race horse, growing
with fury. 1t smashed the cabin to frag-
ments and sped after the frail little craft
that was striving 10 hard to escape.
Jasper cried out with terror and held his
hands before his face to shut out the aw-
full sight. Curt stuck to the oars, but
he knew nevertheless that escape was
out of the question. His brave heart
sickened at the thought Of what would
happen when the crashing ice cakes
reached the boat.
Suddenly he saw something thatroused
a glimmer of hope. Twenty yards to-
ward the left shore and slightly in ad-
vance of the avalanche foated a huge
tree, evidently torn bodily from the soil.
Its broad end, bristling with snakelike
roots, was turned down stream, and
here and there it thrust out thick limbs
that served to steady it, like outriggers
on a boat.
The opportunity was a good one, for
the tree looked sufficiently strong and
massive to hold its own against the tur-
bulent ice. If the castaways could reach
it, they stood a fair chance of escaping
death. Curtis resolve was instantly
formed. He reused Jasper from his
stupor of fear and briefly explained what
he intended to do.
"Now," cried Curt.
Jasper caught the dangling roots and
pulled himself to a place of safety. An
agile spring landed Curt beside him, and
the next instant the boat was whirled off
into the gloom. AS the lads crept high
er up the trunk, Jasper slipped and was
precipitated into the water. In his strug-
giles to keep from sinking he seized one
of the roots and chung to it frantically,
crying for help.
At the risk of his life, Curt crawled
down, and with some difficulty rescued
his companion. They lost no time in
choosing positions among the heavy
limbs and then had barely settled them
selves when down the shock came. The
towering masses Of ice surged around the
tree, burying the trunk from sight at
times and rocking it to and fro like a
cradle. The peril was frightful and i'm
minent for half an hour. The boys were
beyond the reach of the ice, however,
and happily the outriggers prevented the
tree from rolling over.
The night wore on, and when it broke
the tree stranded on one of the piers of
the Catawissa bridge. Willing hands
rescued the castaways with ropes, and
when they had recovered from their ex-
posure they were sent home by rail,
whittier the glad news had already pre-
coded them.
1t need hardly be said that Curt was
never called a coward again.-William
Murray Graydon in Hartford Courant.

steam pipes by means of cooled metal
wire has been quite generally adopted
