L0CKETS DELIVERED.
They Were Intended for Gallant
 Soldier Roy Who Didn't I Get Them.

There are two girls in Washington
 1.-two extremely pretty girls-who are as patriotic as ii is possible for girls to be. Until the district troops marched away they were as fond of each other as it is possible for girls to be, and that, you will allow, is saying great deal. They have several men friends among the district soldierv.
 One day one girl told the other girl in the strictest possible confidence that she meant to give locket, with pie ture of herself in it, to somebody who was going off 10 the war. The two went shopping together next day, and then it came out that the other girl was going to buy q loellet, too, though neither girl confessed to the other who the man in the case was. Of course, each girl was quite sure she knew who he was. and sniffed just little to herself to think what bad taste the other had. They bought the loekets and in due time went down to see the soldiers off.
 One young man smiled when he saw them, and then looked uneasy Each girl tried to get rid of the other girl. The other girl tried to get rid of each girl, and nobody succeeded Time waned. Good-byes were said. Almost simultaneously the girls reached out their hands to give the lockets. Then the truth Rurst upon them. The false young solNr disappeared.
 Two erstwhile bosom friends walked out of that station in utter silence. Each of them had locket with pie sure of herself in it, and each of them had lost faith in man.-W Washington Post.

chanicai contrivances. He was always Xperimenting with acids and other chemicals, or pottering with machin- cry, and his room was alternately q chemical and physical laboratory. It was in 1871, when he was little more than 21 years of age, that he commenced the researches to which I have already referred, for power to take the place of steam. X few years later these re- searches were interrupted by his de votion to art. It is, l believe, rather an unusual thing for person to pos sess al the same time artistic and me chanical ability. MT. Tripler pos sessed both, and indeed his friends believed that his artistic ability was far greater than his mechanical. Between 1875 and 1878 Mr. Tripler exhibited several paintings, and decorated few rooms. Then to the great disappointment of his friends he threw down the painters brush, and turned back again to chemicals and machines.
 He lived at that time at the old Woodlawn place, about at the point where West End avenue and the boule- yard now join one another. There was on this property little old wooden building. This building Mr. Tripler fit- ted up as a workshop, and there he spent his time amusing himself, as his friends supposed, by proftless experi- ments. At first he devoted himself to experiments in quartz crushing, with a view to the invention of a more eco nomical and efficient method of sepa- rating metal from the rock in which it is contained than those then in use. Before long he was drawn again into the search for force to take the place of steam, and from that time to the present he has conducted his experi- ments and researches with that end in view. As man of independent means he was able to devote himself unhin- dered to these experiments. He never breathed to anyone word about the nature of his Investigations or the dis coyery he hoped to make, and his friends and neighbors regarded him as a mere dilettante, and his laboratory a $ a harmless sort of toy. One day, while he was experimenting with gases, a metal retort exploded, wrecking the in terior of the workshop and severely in- turing Mir. Tripler. Indeed, roughly speaking, he was so blown to pieces

SMALL PATRIOTS.
The Feeling Against Spain Is Kin. dIed in Even the Smallest
 of Americans.

He was very little boy, only four
 years old and even the present enehusi. astie state of patriotism in which the country Is existing had not penetrated
 his small mind, says the New YorI Times. He did not know what it was tc
 be patriot, but he does now. On the day that he learned he was playing out. doors with some other small boys whose edueations in poets were more advanced than his. So, moved by the spirit of the times, the other small boys asked this very small boy whether he was a Spaniard or an American. That was momentous question, but how should small boy who had never heard

that of Prof. Dewar. The latter haG ascertained that air could be liquefied, and at great expense had succeeded in liquefying it in minute quantities. Mr. Tripler by d very different and quite simple method was able to produce liquid air in large quantities at small expense.
 Of course there was a great deal of work to be done before the discovery could be made practicable, before he could be sure that he could control and apply the force which he had discov- cred, much more before he could per. suade others that it could be applied tc practical uses I believe that I was the first person to whom he revealed his discovery and his hopes on that sum mer morning, in 1894. I was at that time entirely ignorant of the nature of the experiments he had been conduct ing in bis mysterious workshop, and had like everyone else a vague idea that they were probably of a dilettante and unproftable character. Great was my amazement, therefore, when he told me briefly of the search upon which he had entered many years before for a new, and more economical force, and how he had found not only new and more economical but also a vastly more powerful force than any hitherto known. Then he told me of his discovery of liquid air, of the eX- tremely low temperature at which it liquetied and of it's enormous expansion iS the return from the liquid to the gaseous state. To expand water into steam and obtain power you need great heat, and much consumption of coal. To expand liquid air into gaseous air and obtain hundrefold greater pow CT you need no coal and no more heat than you find in ordinary ice. Then he showed me draft of a machinel for manufacturing liquid air, and explained to me how the process once started continues itself, the air already lique- fled being compelled by an ingenious arrangement of coils to draw in and iiGuefy evermore air from the mex haustible reservoir without. From the experiments which he had conducted successfully on a small scale he was convinced that with proper engines he could drive steamer across the At lantie at much higher rate of speed than any at present obtained, and with consumption of less coal.

I have been asked to tell what l know about Asr Tripler and his dis eoyery of liquid air It was, if re- member aright, some time in the sum- mer of 1894, when Mir. Charles E. Trip Ter called on me one morning in my study and informed me of the nature of his experiments in the production of liquid air, the success of those experi- ments, and the purpose which he had had in view in conducting them. He had been much impressed by various calculations with regard to the amount of our coal deposits, and their probable exhaustion within a measurable time at the present rate of consumption. He saw before him a period, beyond the limit of his own life. it is true, but yet within sight, when industry, prog ress and civilization itself must come to an end through the exhaustion of the supply of coal, unless some other and more economical force could be substituted for steam.
 Mr Tripler is the junior warden of St. Michael's church, New York, of which I am rector, and have known him for years; in fact. almost always. He was born in 1849, and is native New York CT. He never formally studied natural science. vet from his boyhood he dis played bent for physical and me

ONLY WOLF LEFT IN IRELAND.
Last of Pack of Dingos Imported to Ireland Shot by a Member
 of Parliament.

The dingo is the wild dog of Aus tralia. It is not only wollish in app pearanee, but also in appetite, and it has strong predileetion for lamb and mutton. Some ferty years ago, says the Westminster Budget a learned pro lessor, who was the curator of the geological gardens in Phoenix park, Dublin, imported number of these interesting animals from Australia, ap- parently with the idea that as they were "good for sheep" they would be useful to the west of Ireland farmers as sheep dogs. From the natural his tory point of view, the result of the ex- pertinent was satisfaetory-to the dogs.

that it seemed for time almost inn possible that he should recover. Ulti- mately he regained his health complete ly, ard resumed his experiments. These were now no longer regarded by the neighbors as harmless amusement, but quite the reverse. His laboratory was stunned like a powder magazine, and what went on within it's walls was shrouded in mystery. No one would have been surprised to hear any day that the whole place had been blown to atoms; and in the absence of any knowledge of the nature of the experi- ments conducted there. this was prob ably the only outcome of NIT. Tripler's work of which his friends had any real expectation.
 In his search for the great new force, Mr. Tripler was led to experiment with gases, and especially to test their prop critics at extreme temperatures. This led to the liquefaction of first one gas and then another, until finally he sue ceeded in reducing ordinary air to q liquid, and even to a solid state. His discovery of liquid air was approXi- mately contemporary with the similar discovery of Prof. Dewar, in London, but each discovery was independent of the other. MT. Tripler's discovery was. of course, vastly more important than

of course, they were got rid of as speed fly as possible, but several appear to have packed and committed good deal of havoc among the sheep in some districts. The specimen which Mir. John Roche, the Irish member of par lament. shot recently must be one of the descendants of these wild dogs. Tho strange thing is that the animal should have remained undiscovered so long. Mir. Roche thought at first that he had secured wolf but there can be nc doubt that that creature has dis appeared entirely from Ireland. The wolf of hunger is the only wild beast left in the west of Ireland.

either word before to his knowledge know that? And unfortunately the word Spaniard was either easier for him to pronounce or it appealed more to his imagination, so that he prompt ly returned that he was Spaniard.
 That was enough; he was traitor to his country and the other small boys promptly took vengeance and turned in and pummeled him.
