Moss, of the firm of Howe & Hummell,
had charge of the defence of Thorn to

authorities of New York and Queens
counties. Although Thorn was jointly
indicted with Mrs. Augusta Mack. for
the murder, it was decided to try them

that Mrs. Mack will never be brought

besieged with people anxious to gain

If YOU'LL SING A SONG.

N you'll sing a song as you go along.
In the face Of the real or the fancied wrong;
In spite Of the doubt II you'll fight 1t out,
And show heart that is brave and stout;
IL you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse the
tears,
You'll force the ever-reluctant cheers
That the world denies when a coward cries,
To give to the man who bravely tries;
And you'll win success with little SONG
II you'll sing the song as you go along!
Uf you'll sing song as you plod along,
You'll find that the busy. rushing throng
Will catch the strain of the glad refrain:
That the sun will follow the binding rain;
That the clouds will fly from the black
ened sky;
That the stars will come out by and by:
And you'll make new friends, till hope de-
scends
From where the placid rainbow bends;
And all because of a little song
IL you'll sing the song as you plod along.
II you'll sing the song as you trudge along,
Youu see that the singing will make you
strong;
And the heavy load and the rugged road,
And the sting and the stripe Of the tor
tuous goad
VIII soar with the note that you set afioat;
That the world is bad when you are sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad;
And all you need is little song

TALK BY wHlsTLlNo.

Conversational Feats Of the Shep-
herd Boys of TenerinRe.
Have you ever heard of the so-called
'whistling language" of Teneriffe 2 The
probabilities are that you never have.
Yet this curious method of speech--if
indeed one can so describe it--dates
from prehistoric times.
The shepherd folk of Teneriffe and
Gomera use the 'whistling language"
and the first recorded notice of it was
made by French traveller as far back
rs 1455. Since then stray wanderers
have called the worlds attention, at
long intervals, to the Language" Some
years ago, while roaming, with stiff and
scrip, through ravines and over the
wild mountain ranges of Teneriffe, 1T
fell to the writer's lotto hear the shep-
herds thus conversing. By placing two
or three fingers in the mouth it is pos
sible to make the whistle carry to dis
tance of three miles, or thereabouts.
The lonely hills seem silent, and de-
serted, when suddenly out of the far dis
tance came a long, drawn and very
shrill whistle-the summons to con-
versation. In reply, a similar call strikes
piercingly on the ear from the opposite
direction. The whistles are widely sep
arated, but have no intention of being
lonely. Perhaps they are having some
difficulty with their focks. Perhaps
they are merely restingawhile after the
dinner of black bread and onions. At
any rate, if you listen, you will soon
hear them in the thick of an earnest
chat, a chat between friends three miles
or more separated.
Logeard, the well-known French
savant, has conclusively proved that the
whistling is in Spanish. Easy words
are taken, and the sounds initiated by
the whistlers. Long practice and he
redity have given the shepherds ex-
traordinary skill in whistling and un-
derstanding the Spanish. Their voca-
bulary is quite long one, and, in addi-
ton, they have regular code of grad

ically what they cannot satisfactorily
reproduce in the ordinary manner
The writer heard three parties of
shepherds exchange their hopes and
fears regarding the weather by this
means. On another occasion he heard
an invitation to dance sent IN the
"whistling language" across stretch
of country exceeding 81 kilometers.
The young boys, and even the girls, are
adopts at the Language" and the very
sheep appear to understand whistled
commands at a considerable distance.
1t is no unusual thing to find two boys,
or a pair of the sturdy little mountain
lasses of Teneriffe, standing by the
parental cottages, and thus conversing
across wide ravine and rugged height,
without even catching glimpse of one
another all the time. In fact the whist
ling language, dating as it does from
before 1450, makes one wonder whether
the telephone is such modern marvel
after all.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

only few dashes of this massive stream
to effectively quench fire in the rig
ging or in the upper works of ship.
The small monitor nozzle, mounted on
the other side of the wheelhouse, has a
~ Inch opening, and powerful stream
can also be thrown from this, and, of
course, to much greater distance, for,
as the stream is reduced in diameter, it
can go great deal farther.
To the outlets along the side of the
deckhouse and at the bow and stern
arc attached short lengths of hose, 10
fight fire at close range. The pumps
Of the New Yorker are so powerful, and
the pressure of these outlets is so great,
that it would be impossible for men to
handle these lines if there were not
some sort of machinery to aid them,
and, therefore, an appliance known as Il
"rail pipe" is brought into play. This is
something like big rowlock, and is set
in the gunwale in the same manner that
a rowlock is set in the rail of row.
boat. 1t is fastened beneath the rail
with a pin, and between the forks is
swung an iron connection, oar-fashion,
pivoted at the sides. The short length
of hose is attached to one end of this
connection, and nozzle to the other,
and with this device one man is able to
control and direct the heaviest stream
with ease. The monitor nozzles also
can be managed by one man each.
The fireproof construction of the New
Yorker makes it possible to get very
rear fire and deliver the powerful side
streams at short range; and, should the
heat become so intense that the men are
not able to stand by the "rail pipes,"
protecting shields are brought into use,
behind which they can direct the
streams with comfort. These shields
slide along inside the rail, on kind Of
railway, so they can be placed at any
part of the boat; and there is one on
each side. They are made of two thick
nesses Of corrugated iron, with an air
space between, thus preventing the in
ner lining from becoming heated. They
are arched at the top, and in shape are
somewhat like the shields used to pro-
tect the gunners while working at the
rapid-fring guns on our modern mem
of-war.
There is an opening at the bottom Of
these shields for the nozzles of the rail
pipes to project through, and an oblong
slot above for the fireman to look
through and direct the water. With the
aid Of this protection for the men, and
because of her own salamander-like con.
struction, the New Yorker is able to
sail up close to burning vessel or pier
and deliver broadside of powerful
streams where the ordinary wooden fire
tug could not come within fighting dis
tonce; and her ability to do this, and
her immense pumps, make her without
q doubt the most complete and effective
marine fire engine ever built.

FLOATING FIRE ENGINES.
Powerful and Effective Equipment Oi
New York's Fire Boats.

New Y0rk's Fire HOats.
Mr.. Charles I. Hill contributes to
st. Nicholas another paper in his series
devoted to New York's Are department.
The present article describes the "Float-
ing Fire Engines" In writing of the;
New Yorker, Mr.. Hill says of her equip
ment of pumps:
These pumps have throwing ca
pacity of fully 10000 gallons of water
every minute, and under the best condi-
tions they have been known to reach
10000 gallons minute-over 5000 gal
Ions more than any other fireboat ahoat.
The water is drawn in through the sides
of the boat, below the water line, into
what is known as the Suction bay"
making an inner reservoir from which
the pumps are fed.
There are about 10000 little holes,
three-eighths inch in diameter, bored in
the sides of the boat just outside these
suction bays, and through these holes
the water is drawn in, and filtered so
that no foreign substance may get into
the pumps. From the pumps it is forced
into an air chamber, thus equalizing
the pressure all around, and then into
veritable water main 12 inches in
diameter, which runs all around the
boat, between decks, and supplies the
various outlets. There are AZ Of these
outlets (including the four stand pipes
or monitor nozzles), and they vary in
size from six inches in diameter down
to 21s inches (the size of the regulation
fire hosn9. Two of the monitor nozzles
are mounted aft, on top of the cabin,
and big and small one on top of tho
wheelhouse. The two stand pipes aft
have 21s s-inch nozzles, the big one on the
wheelhouse having 3h-inch opening.
From the latter solid 31s s-inch stream
can be thrown distance of 320 feet, and
if necessary this can be increased to a
5h-inch opening, and a mighty stream
of water, having that width, can be sent
laundering out into space over 200 feet.
If you could hear this immense stream
as it pours into the bay, like miniature
cataract, you could better appreciate
the power of this remarkable boat.
