An author who had been ussuccess-
ful in getting a story accepted, though
he had kept II going for three years,
noticing that the manuscript was badly
worn by constant transmission in the
mails, forwarded il by express to the
last available publication on his list,
valuing 1t at SIS.
He was in luck this time. The story
was lost en- route and no trace OF it
could be found.
Some time afterward friend. who
knew the unfortunate history of the
story, asked

"Just sold it!" replied the joyful
author.

STREET RAILWAY DATA.
Some Interesting and Significant Fig
ures Worked Out by the sta-
tisticaI Crank.

A street railway journal gives some
amusing data OH the greatness and
possibilities of the electric railway. 1t
is shown that every day the street cars
In the United States carry as many pas
sengers as there are inhabitants in
Greater New York. Chicago. Philadel-
phia and Boston. To purchase the
street railways would take all of the
s525 100000 Of gold, the 5000 900 of
silver, the S4O0,0O0.O00 of certificates,
the s225 ZOO, 900 of national bank notes
and the s25o,OoO,O00 of United States
treasury notes in circulation. II the
street railways we're to be sold the sum
realized would easily pay the debt of
the United States. The street railways
carry every year not less than $780,
000, 900 passengers, as against the $685.
OOO, 900 carried annually on the $4,000
miles of steam roads IN the states. The
average electric car travels l20 miles
a day; each of its wheels makes s4.500
revolutions, and in the course of year
passes over 100000 rail joints. Yet
with all this constant wear and tear
and opportunity for accident and
breakage, a passenger is as safe on a
trolley car as in the retirement of his
own home. Only one in $4,000 900 pas
sengers is killed, and only one in s00,-
900 is injured in any way. A statisti'

their new relations these words have

A duel follows, and during the commotion

TO PROTECT BUoYS.
An Invention witch Prevents winds
and rides from Dragging the
Cables Around.

In the use of floating buoys - often
happens. says the Scientific American,
that changes in the wind and tide drag
the cable around on the bottom and 1t is
therefore shortened, thus impairing its
efficiency. To avoid this danger Charles
Hutchins. superintendent OF light
houses for Nova Scotia, has invented a
buoy which has been used for a year
with gratifying results. the buoy
itself holds the cable off the bottom.
The submerged buoy, as shown in Fig.
{, has a cylindrical body with Iaperiug
ends adapted to receive the cable. The
body at one end is provided with an
eutwardly fiaring rigid skirt corstitut-
ing drag against the movement of the
buoy through the water.

swayed backwards and forwards, the
strong breeze lifted the smoke from the
now speechless guns and showed that
they were won, but it also showed us
another sight, and that was de Rone's
broken center doubling back upon us
in utter rout, and behind them a silver
line of shining helmets as the kings
house charged, led by Henry himself.
On they came, dancing line of light,
a CLEAN of shining swords, with the
white plume of the bravest of them full
three lengths in front.
"Vive lie Roll" The breeze flung us
the deep-mouthed cheer as they broke
through the mailed ranks of de Rone's
own cuirassiers, and drove horse and

mob before them.

"Vive lie Roll" Once again came the
full-throated cry, and the bay horse was
galloping towards us, followed by the
line of swords, no longer shining, but
dulled and red with the slaughter they
had made.
The next moment the enemy were on
