His AiIuring Scheme of Throwing n Sprat
to Catch N Mackerel.

|
| A game of "throwing a sprat to catch
mackerel" was played in q court off Green
street the other day, and the fakir who
played it was the center of a crowd which
seemed perfectly dazed lie was actually
giving away money. The people could not
understand it; nevertheless they did not
miss the opportunity of getting little
wealth easily.
"There you are, gentlemen" he said.
"Here's quarter. Who gives me 90 cents
for it? Come on, now, good money, don t
bo afraid I'm the man that offered
| gltineas on London bridge for penny,
and couldn't sell one. Who takes H.
Nobody seemed ut first to understand,
| hut presently one man handed up 20 cents
and got the quarter.
Before the crowd could complete an ex-
animation, to sec if it was genuine, the
fakir shouted
"Here's the 20. Who gives 8 cents for
its'
This was another surprise, but 1t was
not long before man made the trade
Then % were sold for 10, and so on until
| the fakir gave the last cent away, talking
"like house afire" all the time and occa-
sionally remarking: 81 don't covert mon
ey. l give 1t away. I'm the feller that $
driving the fakirs out Of business. !"
Then he fished something out of his
bag.
"Here's a watch" he said; ia watch
ought TO be worth 50 cents, if it's worth
Hnyt hing. Who gives me 80 cents? No
bodys All right, Who wants itp I'll
give it away
A man in the crowd got it,
Here's another watch. Who wants its
Won't somebody give me 30 cents for it?'
| A man handed over the money, but the
fakir spurned it, saying, Here, take your
money. Take the watch. I'm giving things
away"
Another watch was brought forth and
offered; money produced, and not accept
ed. Still another.
"Who wants it?" asked the fakir again.
A young fellow offered so cents

Then he gave another away, and kept
on doing so, occasionally accepting the
money and keeping it for luck.

business, and money was changing hands

on the car, he read the story, and de-
spite the tragedy of which it was tho
record had to smile.
1t was The Trumpet he was reading.
1t ascrbed Raymond's suicide as the
act of man temporarily insane. He
had everything to live for--power and
wealth. Why, then, should he blow his
brains out if he were not deranged2 ?
He had been too active of late, the
story ran, had labored hard in matters
affecting municipal growth, and his
mind became unbalanced. He had left
no clew to the cause of his suicide,

popular verdict.

THE QUEEN OF BATTLESHlPS.
The Triumph Of Louis T. NIxon's Skill as
n Nayal CoDstructor.


PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-The battle
ship Indiana returned to her dock at
Cramps shipyard after the quickest and
most successful trial trip of any vessel
ever built by the Cramps. The Indiana Is
the first of Uncle Sans new battleshipsto
be completed. She is of a type entirely
different from anything now owned by the
United States government and is practic-
ally an experiment. The successful out
come of the trial, therefore, removes n load
of anxiety from the minds of her builders.
The Indiaua's first trip was made under
natural draft, and was accomplished at
the rate of AL knots an hour. The sec
ond, under half forced draught, showed
speed of Is knots, and the third, under
forced draught, was at the rate of l5.6
knots The steam pressure limit is l40
pounds, and at no time did the pressure
exceed 12S pounds. The highest horse
power developed was 5000, which is 1000
less than her design calls for. Only ordi-
nary coal was used, and the course over
which the ship was speedes2s compare
lively shallow Therefore ieS fair to pre-
sume that with powdered coal and over
the deep water official course off the Mas
sachusetts coast the Indiana will accom-
plish 1914 knots an hour and win a speed
premium of $l50,000 for her builders.
After her first trip up the course OBJ
servations were made Of her turning capa-
bility. In this respect, too, she wits found
superior. 1t took her five minutes to turn
through 1sO degreeS Or, in other words,
to reverse her course with 10 degrees of
helm angle. Her rudder can be put over
to So degrees, and this would enable her
to turn almost within her length.
The Indiana was designed in 1890 by
Louis 7. Nixon, then one of the youngest
of Uncle Sans force of naval constructors
To him Secretary Tracy assigned the diff
iicult task of preparing plans for three
battleships, the Indiana, Massachusetts,
and Oregon, with the order that they be
| ready in ninety days 1t was necessary
| to work day and night, bnt Mr.. Nixon
/ accomplished the work. Soon afterward
Mr.. Nixon resigned from the navy to be-
come chief constructor for the Cramps.
