A Curious Hiding Place,

Many people have curious hiding

but there could hardly he more In

that which recently came to light In
Bucks County. An old woman who
lived alone In q little cottage at Riegcls.
willie was known to have amassed con-
siderable wealth, and II was also known
that she had no faith In the csta blished
banks and saving funds. But where
the old woman kept her money was a
mystery, until she came to die few
days ago. Then a thorough search was
made Of the premises. without disclOs.
ing the hiding place. Finally, when
the body was being prepared for burial.
a porous plaster on the old wOman's
side was noticed, which did not lie as
close tn the skin AS such plasters gener-
ally do. When the plaster WIS re-
moved a number OF government bonds
representing the old wOman's entire
fortune, were found between It and the
philadelphia Record.

Nj. z. Gerlach, merchant Of Santa
Monica, Cal, has patented a machine
called O wave motor, by which he pro-
poses TO harness the ocean and apply
the great power OF its waves to practi.
cal purposes. The proposed apparatus
Is described by the San Francisco
Chronicle as consisting principally Of
two paddles suspended In framework
that is projected into the ocean from
the head Of pier. These transmit by
cables the force given them by the
wash OF the waves TO fly wheel placed
sq,,idistant from the paddles. This n.y.
wheel Is continually In motion, Its accu-
INFLATED force carrying 1t round during
the momentary lapse between the back
ward and forward motion OF the waves.
the wheel working always In the one
direction. and from It's shaft the power
may be sent by the usual mechanical
appliances to any place where 1t Is
needed.
Former attempts TO obtain useful
power from the movement of the ocean
surface have been failures, and II Is
thought this was because 1t was sought
By them 10 utilize the rise and fall OF
the waters. The idea In this case Is to
obtain power from the forward and
backward motion OF the water, which
n practically continuous. The mechan-
zeal arrangements permit the fywheel
10 turn always In the same direction.
and the cables are made so that they
will give before the lateral force of the
waves. heavy sea not affecting them.

They Mixed tho Rables.


Some time ago there was dance In
q Canadian settlement for the benefit

Of the married ladies' had babies with
them, whose noisy perverslty required
too much attention to allow the ladies
the full swing Of their souls pleasure
In the dance. 80 a number Of young
men present CALAMITY volunteered to
watch over the refractory infants, 10
that their mothers could indulge with.
out let or hindrance In tho sweets Of
the eight fantastic exercise.
The gallant offer was readily and
confdingly accepted, but no sooner had
the women left their dear charges TO
the care Of those mlschievOus young
rascals than they commenced stripping
the infants, changing the clothing. and
giving ono the apparel Of another. Till
all were transmOgrified.
The dance and music continued into

cred, and each mother hurrled!y took
. baby, In the dress OF her own. and
ctarted for home, which, In many In.
stances, was ten or fifteen miles away.
The following morning :hare was o
prodigious row In the settlement. Moth.
ers discovered what had occurred, and
then commenced some Of the tallcst
female pedestriaism on record. Living

full days to unmix the babies, and as

There still rcnains the fact that the
amount Of power obtainable varies
with the force Of the water movement.
So that It hardly is advisable to use the
generating wheels directly. Hence II IL
proposed to use the machine to pump
seawatcr into the reservoirs from
which hydraulic power could I've oh.
tanned for manufacturing. generating
electricity. or other purposes. 1t Is es-
timatcd that the cost Of constructing
a 1OO-horsc power motor would be
about $1,000. this including the neces.
sary supporting framework mt the head
Of the pier, but not the pier itself. From
this statement the practical man may
be able to form some idea rs to the rela.
tive cost Of power obtained from the
waves, that furnished by steam being
taken as the standard.

to him.

asked, with a faint tremOr In his voice.
"NNell, I should say not, my little

"Well. that's the river, isn't itY' ask

had not affected In the least.
Eyes, that's the river. There amt
any mistake about that"
"Then," said the boy, firmly, chats
heaven over there"
The policeman looked ut him curl.
ously.
"What makes you say that;' inIuir.

and his eyes grew moist, "Aiamma wen

HER PAST.


Another One Of Those Things One
Would Rather Have Left Unsaid.
She had admired the men and though
the years had come and gone ana she
was still Miss Brown her admiration
had not abated, say the Detroit Free
Press.
On the contrary It had increased. She
was Of the modern woman school also,
or ut least wanted people to think SO
and rs for herself, she thought, she was
intensely interesting. To young Mr..
Jones she had been lately addressing
herself and young Mr.. Jones didn't like
1t little bit. In fact. young Mr.. Jones
usually fed when she appeared, but
on this occasion she had taken him I'm.
awares and was now holding him In
her thfall In n pretty alcove in the con.
servatory.
Just beyond them sat pretty girl "a
whom young Mr.. Jones was devoted
ndhelonged to get over to her and Gus,
the vapid youth who. young Mr.. Jones
was sure. was making desperate love
to her. But Miss Brown held on like
a turtle.
do you know, Mr.. JONES'" she wa,
saying In her most intense fashion
that the modern woman 10 an idea
to me!"
"No. really. I don't know" confessed
Mr.. Jones, much against his will.
"But II Is true" she continued; land
oh, Mr.. Jones. some of the women W.
read of In books. see on the stage an,
hear Of In daily life appeal SO stronGl!
to me.
"Yes?" said Mr.. Jones. with risin,
infection.
Indeed. yes" she responded. Thei
with deep earnestness she turned 4
him.
did you know, Mr.. jones'" she wills
percd. almost tragically, that I am ,
woman with past?"
Young Mr.. Jones was absorbed II
watching the pretty girl and the afore
said youth.
"Well." he replied In an absent.mind
ed sort Of u way, most women who ha,
lived forty years weren't born yester
day, don't you know"
Later In the evening young Mr.. Jone
told the pretty girl how 1t happene,
that Miss Brown would forever there
after be to him only n stranger.
