Signalling on Battleships.

The United States Government has
Just concluded series Of very success
full tests Of the eophone upon the bat
tleship Indiana. The instrument con-
sists principally of a plate, usually OF
metal, varying in size. This serves
as diaphragm to a resonance cham
Der. Connected with this chamber
are tubes leading to any desired part
of the vessel. These tubes are sound
conductors. The eophone is placed
on top of the pilot house Of ship, and
by means Of it sounds from another
vessel so distant that the report Of a
cannon on board could not be distin-
guished by the ear, are easily heard.
The purpose Of the invention is to
give warning in darkness or fog Of the
proximity Of another vessel or OF q
dangerous shore, also for the trans
mission Of sound signals.

Little Feet.

-
Two little feet, so small that both may
nestle
In one caressing hand;
Two tender feet upon the untried border
OF life's mysterious land;
Those rose-white feet along the doubtful
future
Must bear woman's load;
Alas! Since woman has the heaviest burden
And walks the hardest road.
Love, for while, will make the path be>
fore them
All dainty, smooth and fair; i
Will cut away the brambles, letting only I
The roses blossom there;
But when the mothers watchful eyes arc
shrouded
Away from sight Of men,
And these dear little feet are left without
her guiding, ~.
Will they 60 stumbling blindly in the dark
ness
Ofsorrows fearful shades?
Or find the upland slopes Of peace and
beauty,
Whose sunlight never fades?
Oh, who may read the future? For this
sweetheart small
We want all blessings sweet. u
And pray that he who feeds the crying
ravens
Will guide the baby's feet.

A CLEVER CHECK FoRcER.
And How He Was Caught by a Banks
Alert Paying Teller.

Alert Paying Teller.
Not long ago there stood before the
paying-teller's window of one Of New
York's big banks an unctuous little
chap, smiling blandly over 800
check. Signature, endorsement, and
every detail were correct. To make
assurance doubly sure, the little man
explained, with some insistence, "You
see I have had my endorsement certi-
fed" :,
The check was paid without hesita-
ton, but the teller said to himself:
"Why is that idiot standing there with
such a broad grin, trying to fix his
face on my memory?" And duly he
took note.
A few days later, the man appeared
at the window again, his countenance
distended in the same smile, with an
other check from the same firm; the
endorsement was certified in exactly
the same way, and this time the
dulOuuO WuS 1oOV. AA0A0 "so "ooo
lutely nothing wrong with the check
on it's face, and it came from q we'll.
known customer Of the bank. "In
spite Of ALL" said the paying teller,
something told me that fellow was a
crook. So said I should have to look
up the account before it could be paid,
and while he waited I slipped around
to the firms Office, which was only q
short distance away. The check was
examined and pronounced perfectly
good, and was about to walk away,
when the head of the firm said,. Why,
hold up. We've issued no checks this
morning And then | went back and
bagged my crook. He had first sold
the firm bond, and got his original
500 check in payment. This he had
used to initiate the firms signature on
the second, and likewise to impress md
with the fact that he was all right, so
that when he came around second
time I would not bother him. &C. d.

To sing and shout in the fields about,
In the balm and the blossoming.

And honey bees, blacken the clover seas;h
There are none OF you glad as l.
The leaves laugh low in the wind;
Laugh low with the wind at play;
And the odorous call Of the flowers all
Entices my soul away!
For oh, but the world IS fair, is fair;
And oh, but the world is sweet!
I will out in the gold Of the blossomlu@
mold,
And sit at the Masters feet.
And the love my heart would speak,
will fold in the lily's rim,
That the lips Of the blossom, more pure anw
meek,
May offer it up to Him.
Then sing in the hedgerow green, o thrush,
O skylark, sing In the blue;
Sing loud, sing clear, that the King may
hear,
And my soul shall sing with you. d

Beyond the hills and day was dead, ;,

While Cupid on their heart strings played
A many years ago.

And lovelight glistened in their eyes,
And earth to them was q paradise,

He told the story new yet old,
