THE TROUBLE.

The trouble, IL will be remembered. grew
out OF the destruction OF Sir. w. G..
Smiths residence by fire. Mr. BOwles was
selected as an assessor 20 assess the
damage for adjustment OF the Insurance.
The value placed on the house was small
er than Mr.. Smith thought proper. and
remarks alleged 20 have been made BY
Mr.. Smith at the time were considered
by Mr.. BOwies as ground for 81 SANDER
suit now 50 happily settled.

There are several kinds Of falling
walls, and the fireman of expert.
ence knows them well, and what TO ex-
pect from each. There is one kind that
breaks first at the bottom and comes
down almost straight. somewhat like a
curtain. This makes big noise. but
is not very much to he dreaded. Then
there is another that bulges or buckles
in the middle at first, and makes sort
OF curve as 1t descends. This is little
more serious than the first, and has
caused many fatalities. Then there is
the one that breaks at the bottom and
comes straight out. reaching clear
across the street. and remaining almost
solid until 1t STRIKES. and. as an old fire.

trail of the previous night. We had

trail OF the previous might. We had
not yet searched in that direction. After
going half mile we dropped into a
ravine. and as ! made "A slip and threw
out hand and clutched bush there
was rattle of iron against stone. in
another minute / had drawn out short
crowbar. and then we felt certain that
the cave was in the ravine This was
what our spy had taken for stick. and
II had been brought along 10 work at
masonry.
IL was the ma jor who found the cave
and IL was his broken leg that .ost us
the treasure. AS we walked down the
ravine, carefully scanning the rocky
walls, he slipped on a wet stone and
pitched forward against bush. The
bush was uprooted and he swayed and
fell, and his first cry was that the cave
was behind ii. So il was. A stone
which must have required the services
of six or eight men to lift had been
cemented into the mouth of a cave of
some sort; and but for the bush the
seams would have been plain TO any
eye on the lookout. So anxious waa
the injured man to learn the contents
of the cave that he insisted on our be-
ginning work at once. This we would
not hear to, and making a rude litter
we bore him back to camp Then set
out for Delhi and a surgeon, and it waa
midafternoon before we landed our
patient in the hospital.
Then Capt. Gordon and I made all
speed back to camp and the cave. His
horse had been left there but was miss
ing. as was also some bedding and pro-
visions. We made for the cave on a
run, fearing the worst, and neither OF
us were surprised that it had been
opened and rifed. This was all had
to bear, but the captain had more. In
few hours he learned that his trusted
servant had been working in concert
with *Col. Bounce" He had watched
us as well as him; and on the way to
town he had retracted his charge, and
the pair had been kicked and set at
liberty. The Ceylonese had fitted him
self out at his masters expense, and
though the pursuit of him was long and
expensive he was never captured. What
the amount of the treasure was we could
only guess; but with the breaking of the
majors leg the syndicate of three went
out of business and had no profits to di.
vide.

Prof. Exner. of the Vienna Medical
society, treating of the functions of the
human hair. remarks upon the some-
what curious fact that writers have
hitherto occupied themselves mainly
with speculations as to the circum.
stances which have led to man becom.
ing denuded of his hairy covering-the
hairs, however, being not only degen.
Grated organs. but having also to full
fill some functions. There is a group
says the professor. such as the eve
lashes and the eyebrows. for instance.
which are sensorial organs, possessing
tactile functions, and. moreover, serve
as . protection to the eyes; and In
places where two integumentary sur
faces are in contact. they act as rollers
and facilitate the gliding of the inte-
gumentary surfaces on each other.
Further, there is no doubt that the hair
of the scalp protects the head against
exterr al cold. and also prevents the loss
