with a maze of curved tracks leading
from the interior to the center OF
the street. Feurst, to avoid driving
over them, swung his team to the west
side of the avenue, in defiance OF regu-
lations.
Fogarty. riding downtown. was hid
den behind a wagon, and Feurs' with
supreme indifference crowded south
bound vehicles to the curb. just be-
fore he reached the van Fogarty turned
out from his shelter and shouted 10
Feurst to get on the right side of the
street. The driver with few remarks,
went straight on. Fogarty rode up and
grasped the bride Of one of the horses.
As Feurst did not pull up, the police
man was knocked from his bicycle and
the swheel of the heavy van crushed his
left foot.
In an instant he was hobbling after
the vehicle and calling on the Gciver
to stop. Feurst did so, and Fugarty
made him drive back, pick up his
wrecked wheel and then drive 10 the
Harlem police court. Fogarty's face
was white when he arraigned his pris-
oner. Blood was oozing from his shoe.
The magistrate told him to go to hos
pital and have his wounds dressed.
Fogarty said he would be glad 10 do so
as soon as Tourists offense was settled
according to law. He waited grimly,
all his weight on his right foot, until!
the case was disposed of, then he took a
car TO the house of DR.. Nesbitt, police
surgeon.
With certificate that he was tenn
porarily disabled, Fogarty reported to
his sergeant at six o'clock and then
went home, conscious that everything
had been done decently and in order
and that his foot paiued him greatly.

There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin on
Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every 20
years. October always begins on the
same day of the week as January. April
or July; September as December. Feb
ruary, March ana November begin on
the same days. May, June and August
always begin on different days from
each other, and every other month in
the year. The first and last days of the
year are always the same. These rules
do not apply to leap year, when com
parison is made between days before
and after February 90.

HOLDS THE RECORD.
Year IA Connecticut boy out
classes All other Thieves.

One of the most remarkable bicycle
thieves on record is locked up in the
New Haven Jail. Hhe is only IS years
old, but according to his confession he
has stolen as many as 300 bicycles IN
one year. lie says he is John j. Will
liams and that he comes from New
York. The police know that for the
last three months William has been
working in the big cities throughout
New England. He was arrested ON the
information of young man named
Durant, who had lost his wheel in front
of store in Chapel street.
Williams never tried to sell the
wheels he stole TO bicycle shops. His
plan was to get in with a crowd of
young men and by talking about the
relative merits of the different makes
of wheels get rid of all he might have
on hand.
He tried to sell Durant's machine in
Grand avenue, but was unsuccessful.
One man with whom he spoke told him
to call again. In the meanwhile the
man sent word to the police. Williams
did not keep his engagement, but next
evening he turned up in Grand avenue
with a different wheel.
The wheel he had was stolen from a
store in Congress avenue. The police
persuaded Williams TO confess. lie adj
mitted having stolen wheels all over
New England. In one instance. be said,
he stole tandem and two bicycles at
one time, He says he rode the tandem
and carried the other two on his back
until he got away.-N. Y. Herald.

ROMAN AQUEDUCTS.
They Were BuiIt because There Were
No Suitable Pipes to
lie Had.

People forgetful of the real status Of
mechanical economy in the time of the
Romans have often expressed wonder
that they built expensive aqueducts
when, it is proved, they knew the by.
drostatic principle that water rises al.
ways to its own level,
The principal reason undoubtedly
was that they had no suitable material
to make pipes which would stand tho
enormous pressure insepaIable from an
underground system. Lead Yves out Of
thequestion orthepurpose because the
pipes would have to be made so dispor-
portionately thick, and, besides, water
flowing for miles through lead would
be poisonous. Short lead and clay
pipes were used by them IN their cities
and houses for the supply Of baths. but
without cast iron, which they did not
possess, they could not have made
pipes to carry water long distances.
Lastly, the water brought TO Rome was
strongly impregnated with lime, and
this would have caused great incrusta-
ton in pipes and necessitated frequent
openings and cleaning, whereas an
aqueduct, once built, would, as events
have proved, last for a very long time
with a very moderate amount OF Ie.

the cloth may be neatly hemmed and

"Niece," corrected the captain.
"Not Don Enrique's daughter. But

melancholy air. 1T helps not the

another like Towland and CRADLE.

"And how is this dispute to be set

We breathlessly listened for the an

Morgan will do It," answered
CRADLE. "He has taken the lady out
of their hands and locked her up. He
swears he will not pass judgment till
the morrow, when they shall have
commanded their choler."
We had some ado to conceal our re-
lief and vast satisfaction.
But there were others?" resumed
the captain, after n little. 81 refer not
TO the poor don, for we know he is
slain, but how as to his wife? Aye, and
there was an old servant"
Both dead, likewise" said CRADLE,
indifferently. ''The old dame must run
before a sword, when it was aimed at
her husband, and was grievously
wounded. She died in little time
after reaching the castle. The slave

We questioned him little further,
but brought out nothing of present
moment. The old don, as we had sup
posed, proved to have been slain while
trying to escape. The dinner ended,
we presently parted with CRADLE, and
in little time-avoiding an appear
ance of haste-returned again to the
beach. Here il was now intensely hot,
but we continued till we came to an
old boathouse in the shadow Of which
we sat down. Our talk ran on at some
length, but there is no need that l
should give more than the substance.

solved to have done with Morgan and
