A .THWARTED CRIME.
a Curious Tale, tho aoene Of Which II
= = s. Laid In lhdia.

-. ~'sA~ee ~ @reAslAes 'yI
An Indian up couatry paper tells a
curious tale, A :rich lady, with her two
children, both infants. was going, it is
said, i'd Der own ''ekka" from Ramna,
gar to place in the center of the Bar
tract. The driver was a trustworth,
servant Of the family, and it was fol
this reason that the lady had not divest
ed herself Of the ornaments she usually
wore. But the sight Of the jewels was
too much for him, and at au exception
ally lonely spot in that lonely country
be suddenly asked his mistress to hand
him her valuables. On her suspecting
his real designs and hesitating the mis-.
.creant showed himself in his real col.
ors, and made her and her little ones,
who could barely toddle about, get
down. The horrible thought that was
working in his brain, that Of hiding his
crime by means Of murder, had given
his face a sardonic look, which made
the poor woman tremble. -
: Then the f1end bound her hand and
foot, and informed her that he would
first kill her children and then do bel
to death. BY her earnest entreaties she
prevailed over him to begin with her
first. He had an ak in his hand, with
which he aimed blow at her, but the
head heing loose it few away and fell a
few PAGES of, the handle only remain
ing in his grasp, He stepped into the
grass to look for it and disappeared be-
hind a mound. She waited her certain
doom with all her nerves on the strain.
She gradually fell into swoon, and
when she came round the first thing she
saw was her husband bending over he1
and her babies crying and tugging at
her clothes.
After she had gone nameless uneasi-
ness seized her husband. He could not
reason away his vague fears, try as he
would, and at last he mounted his horse
and followed the "ekka. - He had pro;
ceeded but few miles when the dread:
full sight Of his wife and children lying
bound up with cords on the ground met
his eyes. And the story that his wife
told him CONCEALED his blood with hor-
ror. They both then, drawn by an ire
pressible curiosity, went toward the d.
reotion that the misoreant had taken to
pick up his AZ, and think of their sur
prise when they saw his corpse already
lying, blue, putrid and bloated, the
flies buzzing over it in clouds. Retribu-
ton had come in the shape Of a "karun-
dia'' Of the deadly variety known as
"khaki," rare even in those snake in

The Problem In Launching q Ship.

Impressive as the launch Of great
vessel always is, it nevertheless seems a
simple matter. All there is to do is to
build two toboggan slides under the
ship, raise her from the supports on
which she has been resting, put lot OF
tallow ON the slides, and, when you ore
ready, saw loose the thick plank that
holds the ship by the nose and let her
glide into the water. You mast have
the wine to ohristep her, and a crowd
to cheer her, and some tugs to catch her
and bring her back to her pier; but all
these are mere details, and it would
seem as if any ship could almost launch
herself it she had half a chance.
A launch is simply taking ship from
the side Of stream down to tho bank
and dropping her in the water where
she belongs. This involves the task of
lifting mass Of iron, in a ship like
the St. Louis, Of about :, 900 tons, and
the work Of lowering it carefully for q
distance Of from 20 to 40 feet. All this
has TO be done in the space Of about 30
seconds, during which the vessel moves
nearly 600 feet, At once you can see
that this is an enormous task. It in
wolves the greatest responsibility in q
short time that the shipbuilder meets.
There is no opportunity to correct er-
rors. Every mechanical appliance must
work to perfection, and the manual de-
tails must be as nicely adjusted as the
parts Of a watch. You can launch YES
eel, as you can build one, on the rule of
thumb or the hit or miss plan. and you
may not come to grief; but it is best to
put all these things in charge OF that
master spirit called science, which has
done so much for our physical advance
ment in this world. for then you know
that it will be done properly. - Launch
ing Great Vessel" by Franklin Mat
thews, in st. Nicholas.
