4 Natural Fog Horn.

At the Farallones the erosive agents
have worked with queer caprice. This
rock being granite, has been acted
upon by the sea at all levels, and
throughout the long period when II has
been rising out of the water depths.
Through a long. narrow hole. slanting
and communicating with the ocean.
there comes at intervals terrific
stream of air, forced by the spasmodic
heaying Of the waves against the lower
Orifice. The government, which uses
this island for lighthouse purposes. in
closed the upper end with the nozzle Of
a fog horn. and every few seconds there
was blown an ear-splitting brawi,
which was heard far out at sea and
above the din of the breaking rollers
1t was allowed to roar only in foggy
weather. but II was eccentric in that
it would only sound at high tide
When the tide was low, although the
weather might be very thick, the thing
was silent. For lack of its warning a
ship went ashore upon the island rocks.
and then it was that the government
abandoned its location on the VIM
hole and erected a steam .iren, or
machar.iral fog horn, which has since
very faithfully performed the necessary
service.-Harper's Magazine.

CANTON PIRATES.
In China Their Business IL Neither
Hard Nor Dangerous.

In China Their Business IL Neither
Hard Nor Dangerous.
Probably never since Canton was
open to foreign trade, says Consul Bren-
an in his report on the trade Of the city,
has piracy been SO rife as during the
last year. The boldness Of the pirate
is. however. surpassed by the apathy of
the provincial government. Perhaps
the word piracy is scarcely applicable
tC the acts Of these adventurous rob-
befs. They have no armed craft of
their own with which to give chase and
run down their victims. The usual
plan is fer a band of half a dozen men
to 60 on board a passenger launch dis
guised as ronest men. When q suitable
spot is reached they throw of all dis
guise. overawe the crew and passen-
gers by noulishing revolvers, and then
half the party stand by ready to shoot
while the rest proceed to search the
passengers and their luggage. and
when they have taken all they want
they transfer Themselves to another
boat or land near friendly village
where a division of the spoil takes
place. They are not devoid OF a certain
chivalrous feeling. Gases have been
known where. after having robbed
some rich passengers and made a good
haul, they have restored to the poorer
passengers what had already been
taken from them. On other occasions
they have overpowered the master and
crew Of launch and borrowed" the

Portrait ana vlttper.

A touching anecdote, assOciated with
q picture in the National Gallery al
Edinburgh, is told by an English lady
in her book, 'P0t-Pourri from Surrey
Garden" She writes:
Several pictures stand out with pc
culiar interest. especially the life-sized
Gainsborough Of the young Mrs. Ora
hame. She sat for the picture as a
bride. but before 1t came home she was
dead, and her husband had gone to the
wars.
When he came back he never had the
courage to open the case which con-
tained his young wife's portrait. On
his death. many long years after 1t was
painted, 1t was opened by his heirs, apd
inside the case was the little white slip
per she had left with the painter to
help him to finish his picture.
The portrait was given to the Edin-
burgh Gallery. and the slipper was
kept Dy the family.

DESERVED THE DECORATIONS,
An Enterprisinx BurElsr Who Bur

An Knterprisinx Burglar Who Bur-
RIed to Some Purpose.
To the social ambition Of burglars
there is no limit. They bicycle to a
suburban crib which they have arrang
ed to crack. drive dogcarts and wear
gold trimmed spectacles. Another phase
of their desire for higher recognition
among the community is greatly exer
cislng the mind Of a respected resident
Of Putney. who returned after q brief
holiday at the beginning Of the week to
find that In his absence his house had
been visited by at least one thief, who
appropriated a quantity Of plate. a
dress suit, two Greek decorations for
merit of which the housekeeper was
the proud possessOr. and ticket for a
public dinner to an official Of a golf
club who is leaving England for Aus
tralia.
This function was fixed for Tuesday
evening. The excitement Of the bur
glary drove all recollection Of the ban
Quet from his head, and 1t was only
when some friends mentioned how
charming his representative was at the
banquet that he remembered the dis
appearance of the ticket, which was
marked. "One guinea; wine included.
Subsequent investigation showed that
the burglar had not only appropriated
the admission card, but actually wore
the gentleman's Greek decorations al
the dinner, where he represented him
self to be the ticket holders cousin,
who was on his holidays, and made
himself 20 popular among the company
with stories Of his exploits in the late
Greek war that several of them invited
him to visit their houses.
And now the real owner of the decor
ations Is trying to Hnd out all thess
gentlemen and warn them of the dan
ger they run should the false gues;
honor them with his presence, because
1t would merely be the preliminary OF
another burglary. He is not quite sur'
whether he has succeeded in tracing
all who were attracted by the house

1E BOY BLUE.


The little toy dog is covered with dust.
But sturdy and stanch be stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with ruef
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our LITTLE
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till come" he saff.
And don't you make any noise.
So toddlng off to his trundle bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh. the years are many, the years are long.
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these lonG
years through.
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become OF our Little Boy Blue
Since ne kissed and put them there.
