From the Boston Transcript.
A New York inventor has constructed a
compass which is regulated by chemical
that he claims will not be affected by the
magnetic forces on board the ship, but will
be keenly sensitive to the most minute
symptoms of any other magnetic influence
exerted at a distance of from fifty feet to
perhaps two miles-an iron ship, for in
stance, without such magnetic influence.
rms compass when Brought under mag
netlc influence oscillates one-eighth of an
inch, SO the inventor claims. When SO af-
fected the metal connections on the rim of
the dial plate will close the circuit causing
bells to ring in the engine room, as we'll
as in the pilot house and on the bridge.
Magnet coils will be placed on the upper
deck. The coils are of soft iron bars ten
feet long and twelve inches wide. Miles of
insulated wire are wound around these
bars which are connected by stout strip
of metal. Wires run to the ships dynamos
from the positive and negative points of
these coils. When the dynamos are run
ming the strength of these coils will be felt
for some distance on the chemically pre-
pared compass. Under the laws which gov
ern the present system of adjustment the
Shlps ordinary compass can be so regulated
as to be uninfluenced by the heavy coil at
traction.

Mr.. Phlbrck gaZed at the doctor with an
ingenious smile.
"Why?" asked the DOCTOR
Il knew you'd ask. Because I wanted a

it would do no harm to borrow one. I had
spoiled my opportunity for comfort. All the
windows were fastened, 1 had locked my

Mr.. Philbrick slowly gathered up his traps
and went around the house. The doctor
sat on the steps and waited until the pro-
lessor and the young ladies came home.
once or twice he went to the river side of The

Willis might be in need of some restorative. -
No. said Amelia, Il am better, thank

The professor drove around to the stable
without unlocking the door, and while
waiting for him the doctor and the young
ladies strolled to the river side of the pi-
aZZa.
Look there! cried Louise, clutching at
the doctors arm.
She pointed to the ledge Mr. Philbrick
had crept so far along it's steep side IN his
eagerneSs for sport that he had come to a
place directly over the water, and lust as
Louise spoke, he lost his footing and went

KARL |.
The King Of Roumania and His
Purveyor.
How the Appointment Came About, and
Who Received It.
A Deserved Honor Most Fittingly
Bestowed.

The selection OF a purveyor to a
European Court is something far out
Of the ordinary. The person selected
secures the berth solely on the
ground of individual merit; politics
and favoritism have no place what
ever in the selection.
This was the point with Karl I,
King of Roumania, who, in the case
Of JOHANN HOFF, made the
award, after the most careful con-
sideration, and with a thorough
knowledge of the merits of the ap-
pointee.
Here is copy of the official docu-
ment accompanying the award:
In consideration of the excellent
merit of your MALT PREPARA-
TON, and your well-deserved repu-
tation, | herewith appoint you as
purveyor to the Court of Roumania.
''(Signed by)
"PHILIPESCO,
Court Marshal"
Be sure you ask for the GENU-
1NE JOHANN IfOFF'S MALT
EXTRACT.
Avoid all limitations.

"DInnket Menu

From the Topeka, Kan, Journal
A lady, lately of Topeka, writes from her
new home in Ell Red, California, to a friend
here:
There is class of men here called Blank
ct Men They go around the country in
crowds and herds, each one carrying his roll
of blankets, sleeping anywhere. They beg
from house to house something to eat. They
work a few days at a time and then go and
sit in front of saloon until their money is
gone When Sunday comes they go to a
stream and wash their clothes. 1t is just
dreadful to think men can get so low. 1
never thought there was any good in the
CoXey movement until now; he was the
means of getting a large number of these
men out of the state.
They say that California is the only state
where they can live in that way. We ask
them sometimes how they can forget their
homes in the east and live like animals. They
say, oh, it's the climaten There are hun
dreds and hundreds of these men wandering
from one part of the state to another. They
beg for bread ana work for whisky"

grip on the pipe. Guess you scared him
away"
He spoke as unconcernedly as if the doc
tor were his companion for a days sport,
and had been with him almost uninterrupt-
edly.
Sorry" said the DOCTOR
"Oh, never mind, he'll come again if he's
anything like the perch 1 used to catch
when l was boy"
The float continued to dance prettily on
the wavelets, and for several seconds the
doctor kept his head turned toward the
stream. watching the line with disquieting
fascination. He was at loss what to say
or do, but he held grimly to his detarnina-
ton not to leave Fairview until the pro-
fessor and his family had returned
"Pah. pah! pah!" puffed MIR. Philbrick in
vigorous endeavor to inspire his pipe with
more activity. Say, doctor, hold my line

Without waiting for assent he hitched
around on the rail- still clinging by his
