The old watch has history of some

from the king OF tribe Of savages in
the south seas some valuable trading
privileges The king showed him
many favors, and one day the captain
asked the insular monarch to say
what most he would like to have sent
to him from London. 1t pleased his
royal highness to intimate that big
watch would suit him we'll. Accord

watch bearer followed, carrying the
precious royal timepiece in his hands.
When the king died his sons succeeded
to the ownership of the watch. They
sold it to the captain Of IN American
ship, and he disposed OF it in Phila-
delphia. Some time ago it fell into
the hands of its present owner, who
prizes it highly. This is NO doabt one

AN UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LINE

"Well," he continued, 81 ran against
the most stupendous scheme in that
line last summer ever heard of. You
are doubtless aware that ordinary
everyday smuRglers are content to
transport their goods over the line
from one country to another, the OBJ
ject being, of course, to evade the pay
ment of the customs duties. The peo-
pie with whom came in contact were
superior to such common methods,
which might do for low pirates and
outlawed brigands but not for live,
wide-awake Yankee. and especially .
Canadian Yankee. They didn't move
the goods. They moved the line.
"Up in the farthest easterly part Of
Maine there comes q place where
Maine stops and New Brunswick be-
gins. That is the boundary line be-
tween thetw countries. That is also
where the Canadian Yankees spoken
of have their homes. They are natur-
ally given to farming, some of these
people, and even if Mckinley did put a
duty on grain, poultry and other things
1t didn't make any difference with
some OF the sturdy yoeman who live
alongside the line. The publication of
the news Of the passage of the tariff
bill didn't cause them . moments un-
easiness.
They simply went on raising their
Canadian wheat and their Canadian
oats At the same time they kept their
eyes on the boundary line-what they
could see Of II. The visible portion of
this remarkable boundary consisted of
upright iron posts, set 1T intervals of
one mile through the land. Not being
clinched on the other side of the earth,
these posts are responsive to influence
placed on them on the Canadian side.
In other words, they can be taken up

esssfully Tested In Enshud.
A very interesting test of new
method of signaling through water has
been made in England, says the Pitts
burgh Dspatch. The system is the in
vention of Capt. Neale, and il in
tended for the exchange OF messages
and the carrying on Of conversation
between ships on the sea or on rivers,
whether moving or stationary, or be-
tween ships or lighthouses and har-
bors, forts or piers on the shore. Com
munication is effected without any
connection whatever between the two
objects, except the body of water on
which the ships float or the lighthouse
stands the water being the sole medium
through which the message is trans
mitted.
law of acoustics. If musical note in
. given key be sounded an object ca
pable of emitting sound in the same
key will, under certain conditions,
sympathetically respond with a sound
similar to that which induced it, it
being, Of coure, primary condition
that the two objects shall be nominally
tuned to unison. Capt. Neale's in
vention is based on this principle,
utilizing the high conductivity of
water for the transmission Of sound.
In the recent test the apparatus was
mounted on two punts, moored about
-two-thirds of asmile apart, and carry
ing transmitter and receiver respec-
lively. The transmitter consists of q
bell about sixteen inches in diameter
attached to the lower end of q fram

from the punt, actuates = double-beat

The Morse code is employed, quar-

luton for the dashes. The receiving
apparatus consists Of pair of metallic

open at one end and fixed mouth TO

between them. These drums, suspend
ed in the water, are connected up with
q small battery, and through it with

were correctly transmitted and re-
corded. The speed of operating was
somewhat slow, as the signaling had
to be carried on by hand instead Of
electricity, which will shortly be util-
lied. The trial, however. was most
successful and is said to have dem
onstrated the practical character Of
the invention and the correctness of
the principles upon which it is based.

4 Man Who Has More Costly Ee01nhD
wsrorohs Thas Many Women.
Commander James Robbins, Of the
local post Grand Army Of the Republic,
Cooper,s Mills, Lincoln county, in
Maine, is one of the prominent men Of
his community. q citizen generally es-
teemed as o man of integrity and in
telligence, says the Lewiston Journal.
Mr. Robbins has brilliant war record
rs member of the Thirteenth Maine.
He has lived in the village since 1858
and is jewelcr. His house is . neat
cottage on the brow OF the hill as one
drives into the Mills. un the narrow
front hallway Is Mr.. Robbins bench,
lathe and tools, and here you will find
him placidly working away at the tiny
wheels and springs.
If you arc on sufficiently intimate
terms with Mr.. Robbins you will find
him indulging in his hobby. He has
one, like the most of US. In this case
the hobby is startlingly picturesque.
and it may be safely said that he is the
most original man in the state Of
Maine 80 for as his curious fancy is
concerned. He wears petticoats- Not
when he goes down street for the mail
and to do his marketing. At these
times he slips on his masculine panta-
looms. Yet he does not wear his trou-
sers like ordinary masculinity. No
suspenders for him. He wears o sort
Of dress waist, and his trousers are but
toned tightly about his hips. He always
wears woman's number six shoe,
with high heels and graceful, slender
shape. Mr.. Robbins weighs something
like one hundred and eighty pounds,
and the effect produced by those shoes
peeping coyly out from beneath manly
trouser legs is startling, to say the
least. Mr.. Robbins doesn't mince or
toddle, and his shoes seem to 1t him
pretty we'll.
He reserves his petticoats for the
sanctity of the home circle, for the par
tial retirement of his orchard and for
calls upon neighbors with whom his
acquaintance is close. Mr.. Robbins
isn't squeamish about showing himself
in petticoats. He enjoys wearing
them; he has worn them when oppor-
tunity has presented all his life long,
and he wears them scientifically, too.
In the first place there's no halfway
business about 1t. Every detail of
feminine attire is there and Mr.. Rob-
bins is rightly fussy about the details.
There is no woman in Coopcr's Mills
who owns SO many dresses of such ex-
ccllent material as does the commander
of the Cooper's Mills post. TIC takes
pride in buying only the best. His
lingerie is claborately tucked and
suf1ed, edged with lace and fashioned
according to tho most approved models
of any lady's wardrobe. The material
is of the finest quality, and when Mr..
Robbins lifts his skirts the eye gets .
vision, of rufles, lace and "all such
like" Of dazzling whiteness and immac.
ulate smoothness.

GREAT AMERICAN REslGNER.

An Export Bank Accountant Who Takes
frequent Vacation Spells.
Living in fashionable town within
committing distance of New York is
gentleman who invariably attracts at
tention by his long hair. Strangers al
ways conclude that he is nothing less
than great lawyer or bank president.
When .. reporter for the Commercial
Advertiser asked his feliow-townsmen
about him he was told the following
story: One day the gentleman, who Is
one Of the best accountants in the
metropolis, stepped up to the president
Of the bank by which he is employed
and said he had decided to resign. and
that the resignation must go into eff
feet immediately. The president was
urged him to reconsider the matter.
He talked with him for IN hour, but to
no purpose. The employe, whose skill
as mathematician was beyond any
thing ever met with by the officials of
the bank, has bound to leave the in
stitution, but absolutely refused to
give any reason for doing 80. The ac-
couutant left that day and the bank
was obliged to get along - best 1t
could without him. Ten days later the
cashier was astonished on entering the
bank to find the accountant hard at
work 1t his old desk. The mathema-
tician said good morning. just as he
had done every day for years before he
resigned, but offered no explanation.
The president and cashier let their
strange acting employe keep at his
work and ask no question: Three
months later the accountant went into
tho presidents office again and ten-
dered his resignation. 1t was accept
cd and the man was absent for week
or more, Then he suddenly returned.
The same thing was repested again
and again. Now It Is . standing joke
In that bank that the accountant has
resigned. It II his way Of taking
vacation. He never stays away more
than two weeks.

The Smithsonian institution has hit

bnt they hold the record over all other
animals for prolonged vitality under
adverse conditions, says the Provi-

out Of rocks in which they had been
imprisoned for ages are 'apocryphal;
but recent discovery has established
the credit of this humble mollusk as
No. l in the tcnacity OF life.
Only the other day specimen from

they walked up and appeared quite &C

Pond snaAs, which arc sometimes

Honduras, possess equal endurance.
Specimens carried from Egypt to

perimented with by shutting them up
in pill boxes and dry bags for years.
but they have survived. The limit of
their vitality is YET to be ascertained.
Land snails in cold climates bury
themselves in the ground or under
dead leaves in winter; in tropical re-
gions they become torpid during the
hot season. When about to start in
on period Of sleep they seal up their
shells with . close-fltting door, which
