A Wreck In the Potato Field.

An old salt, after sailing the sea for
years, thought he would try n life ashore
for awhile. He looked around for job,
and was engaged by farmer, saying, as
he had plowed the deep for years, he
thought he could plow the land. He went
home with the farmer, and after good
nights rest and breakfast started out to
pillow. The farmer hitched up yoke of
oxen, with horse on to lead. Taking two
turns around the field and then turning
the team over to Jack, he said he would
go to the house for family prayers.
1t was plain sailing for short time,
but the team didn't like Jacks way OF
navigating. The oxen turned the yoke
and things became snarled up. Jack hove
to and went to the house, asking for the
deacon. He was told the family was at
prayers, but pushed in and hailed the
deacon: "Say, deacon, the starboard OK Is
on the port side and the port OK Is on the
starboard side. The old mare Is athwart the
bows, and the whole thing Is drifting to
hades stern first. Delay your prayers and
come down and clear away the wreck i"-

COOLEST SPOTS ON EARTH.
Places Where the Temperature Never
Rises Above the Freezing Point.

The effects of extreme cold on the human
body are curiously diversified. While a
solid body at very low temperature may
cause severe wound, the same teInpera
ture can be endured in dry atmosphere.
Similarly 10 would be impossible To live in
water treated to 100 degrees centigrade, but
air at that temperature would DO support
able.
The lowest temperatures of habitablo
localities have recently been ascertained.
At Fort Rae the cold reaches IS degrees be-
low zero, f.. at Irkutsk, 40 degrees below !;
at Werchojansk, Siberia, 81 degrees and
sometimes ll3 degrees below.
Payer, who led the Austrian expedition
to the north pole in 1874, has left some re-
markable observations about the cold He
found it impossible to smoke for his pipe
became covered with ice. Every metallic
object caused a severe burn at the slightest
contact. The dryness of the air provoked
an abundant and inoonvenient perspira-
ton. But in order to quench the thirst
which ragged in him he could not touch the
snow, which was too much frozen. He
might rs well have poured molten lead in
his mouth. The men as they marched were
envelOped in thick clouds provoked by the
heavy pen spiration which escaped through
their furs. 1t then froze in small crystals
and foil to the ground with a rafting noise.
Ice did not form on the beard, because the
vapor of the breath formed Immediately
into snow. Sound could be heard for enor
nous distances. Meat was split like wood,
and mercury could have been used for rifle
bullets. Intense cold he noted, paralyzed
the intellectual faculties, movement and
speech. Smell and taste weakened sensi-
bly,
The reason why intense cold caused by
radiation in the air can be endured, but
not tho contact of solid object at the same
temperature, is that air, like most gases,
is bad conductor of heat. When limb
comes in contact with very cold air, it only
loses heat little by little. Nature has time
to react against the cold, which has no bad
effect unless after prolonged exposure.
But when this limb comes in contact with
metal, which is usually good conductor,
the latter Immediately takes from the flesh
great quantity of heat and tends to bring
it to its own temperature. New York

STOPPING AN UPROAR.
How Count Won Beust Forced Wagner to
Leave Vienna.

How Count Won Beust Forced Wagner to
Leave Vienna.
When Wagner was at the height of his
popularity, he visited Vienna. Baron Won
Beust, then chancellor of the empire, was
informed that the Prussian party intend
ed to give him an immense serenade--a
serenade which would have the air of Ger
man protest against the tendency of the
ministry to make the union of Hungary
and Austria more intimate The demon
stration promised to arouse strong feeling.
"Your excellency Is warned, said the
chancellor's advisers. at is impossible to
stop this manifestation unless Wagner goes
away, and he loves oyations too well.
Nothing will induce him to depart"
"You think soP' said Beust, with n
smile.
An hour later Wagner was invited to
dine with the chapcellor. He was fiat
tered by the invitation, and accepted IL.
After dinner, at which Beust was delight
fully affable and entertaining, the chancel-
lor remarked: Herr Wagner are you in
terested in autographs? / have some very
curious ones to show you. )" And he opened
portfolio where were letters of Palmer
ston, Bismarck, Napoleon III, Heine and
others
Suddenly turning to a paper, dated
1913, he said: "Ah, look at this. 1t is
very curious. What would your friend
his highness the king of Bavaria say If
this paper, which would be significant in
connection with the political serenade
which the Germans are going to give you
should be published tomorrow in the vi
emma paperss"
The composer examined the paper, and
recognized with surprise an old proclama-
ton of one Richard Wagner, who, an ar
dent revolutionist in 1913, had proposed to
the youth of that time to set fire to the
palace of the king of Saxony. He saw his
autograph, and that 1t might be the means
of getting him into serious trouble.
Every curious, is 1t not, Herr Wagner
said the minister.
every curious, your excellency," replied
his guest.
The next morning Richard Wagner left
Vienna, recalled to Baireuth by urgent
business Strand Magazine.

APPEALS TO THE DEVIL.
Legends Which Tell How They Were
Answered by His Satanic Majesty.

Personal appeals to the devil are held by
popular belief to be at least as efficacious
as imprecations uttered by another. The
latter has already received illustration.
Two German tales will confirm the force
of the former. In one of these girl who
was dancing at some village festival
boosted that no partner could tire her at
the sport, not even the devil himself, and
she only wished he would come and try
her. Hardly had she uttered the words
when a coach drove up, out Of which step
ped fine gentleman, who begged per-
mission to take part In the dancing. This
was no sooner granted than he accosted
the damsel already mentioned, and asked
her to be his partner for the rest Of the
night. She gladly consented, and danced
with him SO necessarily and with such
activity that all the rest of the party gazed
on the pair with surprise, which was
changed into alarm when 1t was perceived
that the gentleman had hoofs and was in
deed the devil himself. So the musicians
were told to play the air, "Begone Ye
Fiends of He'll" which no demon can
abide. All present joined in the words,
and so powerful was the strain In its effect
that the Internal visitor, selling the girl
in his arms, leaped with her through the
window, and neither of them was ever
seen again.
The other story is that of young maid
en- Of Raasdorf, whose companions at
gathering of girls one night were talking
about their respective lovers, wbereupon
she expressed her sorrow that she had
none, and declared herself so anxious to
have one that she would willingly take
the devil If she could get nobody else AT
II o'clock a tall gentleman entered the
room, and taking seat beside the impa-
tient damsel lost no time in making love
to her. His dress was green and the sight
of hoof struck all the girls with conster-
nation. When the party broke up at mid
night, the stranger vert with them to the
top of the Kappel hill. Here a sudden cry
arose from every mouth, as the girl who
had wished for the devil was carried up
with him into the air, higher and higher,
till they disappeared altogether. Nothing
but her cap was left behind. -Gentleman's

TIE HATED CATERPILLAR.
A pvger OF Nature Says Something In It's
Behalf.


Behalf
Why the caterpillar should excite fear or
di gust we could never well understand,
but we have heard boys as we'll as girls
yes, and men as we'll as women-say
that catcrpilllrs made them shudder.
Yet the caterpillar spends his life in
trying to keep out OF everybody's way.
Some species hide on the under surface of
leaves, others on the stems or blades of
grass, which serve them as food Others
again, build little nests for concealment,
or else they lie snugly hidden between the
curled edges of leaves, which they draw
close together until the opposite edges
meet.
The caterpillar is sociable creature in
his own family He knows that there is
safety in numbers, and you will find whole
companies feeding side by side while
keeping sharp lookout for their bird enc
mics, but when a caterpillar is by him.
self he scarcely dares to move for fear of
attracting attention. Even when he is
obliged to change his skin he doesn't ven
ture to leave his old coat lying around.
The moment that he takes It off he eats it.
The caterpillars that live in companies
shed their skins boldly. Only the poor soil
tary fellows feel forced to swallow their old
clothes.
A great protection to the unfortunate
caterpillar when he leaves his nest early
in the spring Is his power of mimicry.
The viceroy caterpillar is either red spot
ted or Is dressed in conspicuous purple
bands and he feeds on birches He Is
clever enough to place himself so that he
exactly resembles the opening buds and
the curving shoots of the twig on which
he lies. He can make himself look the
color of the soft down of the buds, and
he often deceives the ichneumon flies that
are searching for him high and low.
With all his cleverness, with all his
trouble, we know that many caterpillar
has to go to furnish meal for the hungry
birds, and we know it is the law of nature
that such things should happen. But do
not crush a caterpillar with your heel sim
ply because he lies in your path. Don't
shake him from the ingenious little nest
that he has constructed with so cunning a
patience and then stamp out his life.
Leave him as a legitimate prey for the
birds or for any creature that has actual
need of him.-Our Animal Friends.
