He entered Myrtle street car-an

girl whose mother was on the other
side of her, says the Detroit Free Press.
Possibly he might not have fallen into
trouble, had he let the child alone, but
his congeniality got the better of him,
and he said:
$50 you are going down town, are

The child moved closer to her moth

The facts in this singular case are as

Schoen was employed to plan and build
a magnificent restaurant and concert
hall near the kaiser's palace at Pot>dam.
Without intending disrespect, he drew
plans which provided for building one
story higher than the emneror's. When
the building authorities learned of this,
they stopped the work Cn Schoen's

day hewas summoned before the lieuten-
ant of police of that district, who told
him that his remark in the restaurant

NAVAL MlSHAPS.
We Make Too Much Fuss aEd Sc H.,a-
ton Over Trf1es.

W aZG Sc HE11-
ton Over Tribes.
We have good navy, and we do
not appreciate it. AS matter of fact,
says the Boston Journal, casualties to
our new armorciads and cruisers have
not been particularly frequent when
their size and their number are consid-
cred In this country every trivial
E:isckance is caught up and exploited
by the sensational newspaper, but moth
ing is said of similar accidents in for
eign navies. Barring the destruction of
Admiral Kimberly's fleet b.; the Samoan
hurricane in 1889, which no skill or fore
sight could have prevented, our naval
service for many years has been remark
ably free from really serious disasters.
There is nothing in our records to COM
pare with the capsizin,, of the British
frigate Captain with half a thousand
men in 1870, or the fatal collision of
the British ironclads Vanguard and
Iron Duke in 1875, Or that of thG Ger
man ironclads Kaiser Wilhelm and
Grosser Kurfurst the year following,
when 800 men pcrished, or the loss Of
the British training ships Eurydice
ard Atlanta in 1873 and 1880 with COO
officers, sailors and apprentice boys, or
the sinking of the British flagship Vic
toria, with Admiral Tryon, % officers
and $50 sailors, by collision with the
Camperdown on June %. 1893. in Inc
Mediterranean, or the wreck of the
Spanish cruiser Reina Regente, on
March 10, 1895, with 400 officers and sea-
men.
The list of minor accidents to foreign
naval vessels in the past few years
would be too long TO enumerate. But
the stranding of the British armorclads
Howe and Anson, the flagship Amphion
and the cruiser Sultan were far more
grave affairs than any such accidents
which have occurred to any of our own
heavy vessels within this period. We
have had our fair share of trouble, per-
haps, but no more than that.

HOW TO YAWN.
A Dog Performs the Duty Success
fully and Conscientiously.


Did you ever watch a dog gap? For
thoroughness and entire absence of af-
fectation and mock shamefacedness
there is nothing like it, says Pearson's
Weekly. When dog gapes he doesn't
screw his face into all sorts Of unnatural
shapes in an endeavor to keep his mouth
shut with his jaws wide open.
Neither does he put his paw up to his
face in an apologetic way, while gaping
in ambush, as it were. No; when he
gapes he is perfectly willing that the
whole world shall come to the show. He
braces himself firmly on his fore feet,
stretches out his neck, depresses his
head and his jaws open with graceful
moderation.
At first it is but an exaggerated grin,
but when the cape is apparently ac-
complished the dog turns out his ell
bows, opens his jaws another As degrees,
swallows an imaginary bone by sud
den and conclusive movement, curls up
his tongue like the petal of tiger lily
and shuts his jaws together with snap.
Then he assumes a grave and con-
tented visage, as is eminently becoming
to one who has performed duty sue
cessfully and conscientiously.

GLASS MADE BY MACHINERY.
Reducing the Price of Finish ed Prod
uct and Ayertins Trouble

Reducing the Price of Finish ed Prod
uct and AvertinS Trouble.
Machinery is beginning 10 play very
important part in flint and green-glass
manufacture, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. The introduction of one ma.
chine alone for simplifying the making
of fruit jars was instrumental in re-
ducing the price list last fall, and its
further application is expected to be
large factor in the settlement Of wages
this year. To give an idea of the revo-
luton which is impending in this
branch of the glassware business, one
five machines, $4,000 jars day. For
a month past the four additional ma
chimes have been in use, and the daily
output has been $1,000 jars. There is
now being built an additional tank
furnace, which will double the capacity
of the works and bring up the daily
production to over 100000 Jars, or say,
30,000,0O0 jars per year, which will be
fully one-third of the entire fruit-jar
production of the United States. Lamps,
the foot and bowl of which were former
ly jointed by hand, and often very i'm
perfectly done, are now made by ma
chimes, which form the oil fount and
foot at one operation and out of one
piece of glass, and the lamp is prac-
tically indstructible. One firm of
punch tumbler blowers has hitherto en-
ployed a few hand blowers, each hand
turning out about 600 tumblers per
turn. In the same factory ten machines
will soon be at work, which will give an
output of 100000 punch tumblers per
day

TREE SAP.
Idea That 1t Rises and Falls with the
Seaaons La Erroneous.

seasons l8 EFrOncOuBs
Sap is a watery fluid found in the in
terror of the cells of plants and trees,
and contains dissolved or suspended in
it the materials required for the life
and growth of the cell. The IDEA that
in winter the sap goes down into the
roots and in the spring rises again is
quite erroneous, says a reliable au-
thority. Trees and plants are full of
watery sap all the winter. The phenom-
ena of freezing in the case of trees and
plants are but little understood. The
sap in leaves and in smaller branches
is often frozen. This is seen especially
in the twigs of hickory, which in very
cold weather are as brittle as glass,
though the same twigs at a higher
temperature cannot by any possibility
be broken with the hands. For various
causes the water contained in the cells
orly begins to crystalline at some de-
grees below the ordinary freezing point.
This is partly due to the chemical COM
position of the sap, which contains
| various salts, starch, etc, in solution.
Besides this the bark of trees is q bad
| conductor of heat, and the interior tenn
perature of trees and plants is general
| ly higher in winter and lower in sum-
mer than that Of the surrounding at
mosphere.

FUN ON THE OLD CLIPPERS.

Not to BE Had on Modern Record.
Breaking Liners.
"One of the youngsters asked me the
other day." said the old skipper, re-
ports the New York Times, ''if 1 had
over been 20 Europe on a record-break-
ing liner told him hadn't, and never
wanted to go there that way. 1t is just
q question of engineers and stokers,
mere landsmen, on a big liner, and I'd
rather ship before the mast, even on one
of your lubberly 4o-day steel square
riggers with bows like a canal boat,
than go on n steamship. 1t would be
just about as interesting to me as a trip
on railroad train.
''The kind of sailing 1 like it will never
be the privilege of you young fellows
to indulge in. You will never know the
fun of having q clipper craft a, sharp
as steamboat under your feet jumping
across the sea under a press of canvas
never seen on ocean-going sailing YES
sells nowadays, with her rigging as taut
as iron bars, and your shipmates hold
ing your hair on your head.
"'What she can't carry she may
lug was the text at sea then. Iremem-
Der when I was in the clipper North
ern Light we carried stu'n'sails slap
into Boston harbor, making the famous
passage of 76 days and 4 hours from San
Francisco. Our ship worked like bas-
ket; but we had shipped double crew
for the run, and one crew did nothing
but pump ship. There was some crack
ing on of sail when ships of 1000 tons or
more had all their top hamper whisked
over on the lee side while the skipper
was turning to spit over the taffrail.
Even after that some of the ships made
good passages. It's u funeral nowadays
to lose topgallart mast"
