Louis Lowden has secured the contract
to build an $4,000 house at Riverside for
William F. Taubel
Fire was discovered in Charles Low
den's carpenter shop in the rear of his
house on West Broad street, shortly after
five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and al
though the neighbors and firemen were
quick to respond to the alarm, yet, owing
to the nature of the building, it was near
ly all destroyed, entailing a loss of over
5000 The fire is thought to have been
caused by some children playing with
matches.
The second fire occurred in the cellar of
]. Lawrence Lippincott's house, but, luck
lily, was put out before it got much of a
start. A candle had been left on a shelf
in the cellar, which burned down and set
fire to the wood work, but was discovered
in the nick of time and was put out by
William Worrell, with the garden hose.
Mr.. and Mrs Lippincott were away at the
time and did not arrive back until the fire
was out.

Winter Habits of the Quail

Sportsmen. cpicures and the bird $ cheery whistle. have made the bob. white one of our best known birds. As the most northern representative of a family that has its centre of abundance in subtropical regions, bob white is more susceptible to the rigors of a nor thern winter than more truly boreal birds. Being emipently terrestrial heavy snows sometimes completely bury bevies of birds. roasting as is theil wont, upon the ground. They seem however, none the worse for living interment, and have even been known to seek shelter in snow bank, diving into it while in full flight. It is when q fall of snow is heavily crusted that Bob white is in danger. Escape from their snowy coverlid is then impossible, and whole hocks have been found froz- en where they had roosted.-Frank M. Chapman, in Chatauquan.

RIVAL CLAIMS IN AFRICA

There are four different grounds on which European nations base their claims to territory in Africa. One is actual occupation: another is d treaty with native chief. conceding territory: d third is the claim that the occupation of the mouth of a river gives right to to the country which it waters: a fourth is the ''hinterland" theory. by which is meant that nation which occupies d strip of territory on the coast has a right to the country lying behind it. Of these grounds of claim, the first i- least likely to be contcstcd: but as to the others. the same chief may give concessions to two or three rival na- tions: or the territory which is claim ed by one because it is watercd by d river the mouth of which it controls may be claimed by another because it is in the hinterland of territory which it possesses on the coast--Youth Com panion.

A Border State Pass Word

Kansas had shibboleth in border state days. In 1851. when the first tide of New England settlers began to drift into the southwest. the Missourians tied COW at each crossing of the Mis- souri river When new settler ar rived at the crossing he was sure to make some remarks about the COW. If he said 'cow,' he was permitted to cross over to Kansas. But if he said 'kaow'. :. htersee hustled ont nf- the country as an hated abolitionist. To retaliate. the Kansans tied bear on their side of the river. When new settler said ''bcar', he was welcomed with open arms. But if he said bar. he was scooted back

LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE
Freely Used by Members of the
 Cabinet.

The necessity for the material pres ence of cabinet officers and other gov ernment officials occupying important posts in the capital appears to be di- minishing as time and the march of in- vention goes on. When the applica- tion of the telegraph caused spread of wires over the country it was d great relief to public officials who wish ed to absent themselves occasionally from Washington with feeling of safety in case they were needed in an emergency. They felt that if they were called upon to act in any important case they would be informed of that fact with little delay and could at once return to their posts. When the telephone was introduced into bus mess life it was d boon to officials who wished to attend to affairs in the quiet of their homes, while they could be placed in communication with any en- ploye of their departments at d mo- ment's notice. But it was reserved to the long distance telephone to abso- lutely annihilatc space. No invention has ever been greater boon for the government official in place of great responsibility. and week seldom Dns- ses without this invention being freely used by one or more cabinet officers in the transaction of public business while they are hundreds of miles from Washington. Many questions are re- ieffed to cabinet officers over long dis tance phones. Secretary Bliss. not in- frequently holds conversation. while he is in New York. with officials of his de- partment. and while here he has in- tcrvieWs with his business manapcrs in New York Po.tmastcl-Gencral Cary when in Baltimore. utliyes the same mean, in looking after bis department. and while here in supervising his pri- vate business. Nearly all the cabine; officers do the same thing. and it is un- derstood that more than one member of the cabinet would probably not be in such position were it not for the con- veniencc of modern means of comnun- lcatlon, which has made it no longer necessary for an official to be tied to his I desk in the department over which he presides.

THE SWORD OF SALADIN
A Smith Says He has Learned the
 Secret of Damascus Steel.

The Damascus blade of Saladin may yet be duplicated. It will be if the claims of James H. Dutfcy, a Machias- port, Me-, blacksmith, are justified by the practical results which he promises. Mr. Duffy, asserts that he discovered the long lost art of producing Damas- GUS steel and also the ancient method of hardening copper and brass.
 Ten years has the "Michiasport Wiz ard, as his neighbors call him, spent patiently experimenting withthe metals during which time he has often severely taxed his financial resources. He de- clares however, that for his sacrifices he has been more than repaid by his success.
 Mr. Duffy was first led into making experiments when he opened his smith shop in Machiasport. He was born in Bangor. Me-, ,ffty-four years ago, and after few years schooling learned the trade of horscshoeing and blacksmith- ing. When he moved to Machiasport the canning industry had begun to grow. and the soldering coppcrs used in the factories were sent to him for re- pairs He noticed that the coppers wore away rapidly and that when two thirds of the business end of one was worn away it had to be cast aside
 Mr. Duffy thought that if copper could be welded. two old soldering tools that were worthless might be welded into one that might be worth something. The difficulty was to find the way to weld them. It couldn't be done by the ordinary way of heating, because cop per became soft when heated and they would be no good after having been welded.
 A few years ago he a,tonshed the factory men by taking lot of cast of soldering coppers and bringing them back nicely welded and as perfect as new ones In fact they were more per feet than the new ones. for not only did they hold the heat as well as the new tools. but they did not weur away so rapidly. and for this reason alone they were more valuable.
 Then the wizard surprised his inti- mate acuuaintaNcgs ry producing rom his labratory copper sword. which he proceeded to bend into a circle and let it spring back into shape again. which says the Boston Globe. it did as the most perfect Damascus steel would. Next he astonishcd them by producing copper razor. with which he gave himself d perfect shave, and the razor still retained it's keen edge.
 The wizard will talk about the qual- ity of the metal he produces. but is re- ticcnt in regard to the process through which he puts it. He will only say that in his experiments to weld copper. he struck upon the secret of the ancicnts' method of making Damascus steel.
 He ia positive that he has it. He says that although he has made some vIlu- able discoycri. :. he has learned that , these are the beginning of d series of discoveries that must follow
