Delaware Marriage Formally fhss
eeruck Terror % Ono BriAesrssn.
To get married seems an easy thing
to tho young man whose fancy lightly
turns to thoughts Of love, bat when IL
comes to tho actual ceremony there arc
Thousand and one terrors which sur.
round and threaten to ovencome him.
Marriage in some states Is easy. In
osaers it is difi3cult as obtaining q di.
vorce.
A well known PhiladeIphian was
about to be married to q beautiful
young woman who lived in the state Of
Delaware. He had no idea that the mar
riage laws Of that state were Of an ap-
palling nature. He had secured his H.
cense and thought that was all that was
necessary.
Have you filed your bond yet?'' said
some one to him tho day before the we'd
ding.
"What?" gasped he.
Your bond, +" repeated the question
er. "You know every man who is mar
ried in this state has to file bond for
the protection of the state.
The bridegroom was rather dubious.
but was finally persuaded that this WIS
fact.
"I'n see lawyer about it in the
morning." said he So he went to q
friend, who was legal light, and said:
SEQ here. They tell me l have to
give a bond to the state when / get
married"
Certainly. Haven't you done so:"
in a surprised way.
No; | never heard Of such thing
before. What kind Of bond is it?''
''Oh, any real estate will do"
but I haven't any real estate"
The lawyer looked at him o moment.
Then he solemnly said:
Haven't you any friends who own
property"
Mono that care to ask to bind it
up that way. / can't ask my brides
relatives, you know
His friend looked at him pity;ngly.
lyon can't postpone the wedding, can
you?''
WHAT" fairly shrieked the unfor-
tunate.
"Of course, Of course not, A" said the
legal light soothingly. But the poor
bridegroom looked stricken.
TN tell You what I'll do, old man.
III tend to the matter for You. Don't
give yourself any more concern about
it..
The young man about to be married
grasped his hand He could not speak
for a moment. and then he poured forth
his thanks. He picked up his hat in
relieved sort of way and walked to the
door. Then he turned.
by the way, l forgot to ask you how
large is tho amount of the bond re-
quired?"
Fifty cents" said the lawyer

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The elopement "a
la bicycle is now an established fact in
stead of q cartoonist's dream. The young
folks who have made it 80 were Miss Ger
trude Grady of Rockville Center, L. L.,
and William S. Fowler of Brooklyn. 1t
was through the bicycle they met. 1t was
ON the bicycle that they loved. On the
bicycle they fed to be married. 1t was
not long after their first meeting that they
fell in love, but for some reason which
Miss Gertrude Grady could not understand
her mother, a well-to-do widow, and her
big brother, n plumber, did not take kind
ly to her handsome young bicycler.
They preferred that she should favor
the suit Of u young broker who was pay
ing her attention. But Miss Gertrude
preferred the suit of the bicycler, and she
had q mind of her own. For q week back
Miss Grady has been taking bundles on
her bike to Flushing, and on the last day
she carried a bigger bundle than usual
1t was her wedding dress. She was met
ON the way by her cycling lover and to-
gether they wheeled to u minister's and
were married.

Tho Transformation That Takes Place When
They Enter the Water.
The appearance Of the keeper, with
his pail Of live gudgeon, is the signal
for sudden and intense excitement in
the cages. The penguins wave their lit
tie fippers and waddle to the door,
whence they peer eagerly down the
wooden steps leading to the pool. The
cormorant croais and sways from side
to side, and the darters poise their snaky
heads and spread their batlike wings
At the waters edge the penguins do not
launch themselves upon the surface like
other waterfowl, but instantly plunge
beneath.
Once below water an astonishing
change takes place. The slow, ungainly
bird is transferred into o swift and bril-
liant creature. beaded with globules of
quicksilver. where the air clings to the
close feathers, and flying through the
clear and waveless depths with arrowy
speed and powers of turning far greater
than in any known form Of aerial flight
The rapid and steady strokes Of the
wings are exactly similar to those of
the air birds, while its feet float straight
out level with the body, unused for pro-
pulsion. or even as rudders. and as lit
tie needed in its progress as those of q
wild duck when On the wing.
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes of one wing and
the cessation Of movement in the other,
and the fish are chased, caught and
swallowed without the slightest relaxa-
ton Of speed in submarine flight
which is quite as rapid as that of most
birds which take their prey in midair
In less than two minutes some 30 gud-
geon are caught and swallowed below
water. the only appearance of the birds
ON the surface being made by one or two
bounds from the depths, when the head
and shoulders leap above the surface for
q second and then disappear.
Any attempt to remain on the surface
leads to ludicrous splashing and confu-
sion, for the submarine bird cannot
float. It can only fly below the surface
Immediately the meal is finished both
penguins scramble out of the water and
shuttle, with round backs and dropping
wings, back to their cage to dry and
digest.
