A Delicate Position.

Some women get ratified and others
keep their heads, no matter what hap
pens" remarked a lawyer the other
day. II had a client here from Sagl-
nav not long since She got caught in
crowd such as gathers about the city
when there is a procession and had her
pocket picked. The most valuable thing
1t contained was a check for $3.50, and
the check was Endorsed. for she was on
her way to have 1t cashed.
She didn't set up a hue and cry,
didn't rush to inform the police and
didn't notify the bank to stop payment.
She simply went to the relatives with
whom she was stopping, arranged with
a couple of stalwart cousins to accom-
pany her to the bank in the morning
and said nothing of her loss.
When the thief showed up with the
check she simply asked him for it, and
he, seeing her masculine escort, deliv
cred it and fiedL'
But she should have had him ar
rested. That was her duty to the pub
lic''
Precisely what I told her She did
not plead dread of notoriety, loss of
time or expense. She made a square ad-
mission. The check was from a second
hand man, to whom she had sold the
contents of an attic that had been fill
ing up for twenty years, and her hus-
band was one of those cranks who
thinks all such things must be kept.
I wouldn't let him know for the world
she assured me, and if that pickpocket
had said that I couldn't have the check
he could have kept it Detroit Free

HIGHT OF MOUNTAINS.
An Improved Instrument for Meas
uring It.

+ Although the aneroid barometer is a
much more portable instrument than
the Inercurial barometer, and is there
fore much more conveniently handled
by the mountain climber, it has one Sc
rious disadvantage in the measurement
of attitudes. If a mercurial instrument
is accurate at the outset the only cor
rections which it is necessary to make
in it's readings are based on tempera-
ture. And tables are available that en-
able man to make these corrections
without difficulty. The mountain
climber needs merely to make careful
readings and records, and all the rest is
easy.
But it was discovered several years
ago that an aneroid barometer not only
drops promptly with diminutioni of at
mospheric pressure, as upon a mount
ain side, but will continue to fall. slight
y for a considerable time thereafter if
the instrument remains at. the same
level. For instance if the two types
of barometer were put into an air-pump
and the pressure promptly reduced to
fourteen inches (the' pressure that would
correspond to an altitude of about 90

would give the proper reading imme-

the pressure was altered. The aneroid
would also give correct indications in

ceiver of the pump for a week IT

Santa Fe Officials and Employees

Los ANGELES. April Bottle divi-
sion officials of the Santa F'e Pacific
Railroad returned to their respective
stations this morning. Both the officials
and the committeeman from the con
ductor's, brakemen, engineers and fire
mems organizations say everything has
been amicably arranged as far as a sal
airy schedule is concerned and that it is
nonsense to talk about any trouble COM
ing upon the road. There is nothing
but the most harmonious feeling ex-
listing between the employees and Off
cials and no talk or thought of a strike

ment, when he completed his toilsome
journey, would therefore be misleading.
And it would be dificplt&matter 10
apply a suitable correction. to the fig
ureS.
An Improvement in aneroid barome-
tiers designed to obviate the trouble III
question, is attracting attention just
now among scientific people. Colonel
H Watkin, Chief Inspector of the Posi-
ton Finding Department of the British
Army, proposed a modification of the
apparatus that should enable the user
of the barometer to throw 1T in and out
of gear When it was desira bic to make
a reading, the indicating part of the
instrument would be momentarily con-
nected with the rest, and an observa-
tion would be made And then, as soon
as possible, the two parts of the me-
chianism would be disconnected, and the
atmospheric pressure (whether high or
low would cease to have any effect up
on it. Prolonged exposure, to which
alone was due the fault referred to-,
would thus be avoided.
Edward Whymper,. the famous noun
tain climber, was persuaded to test one
of Colonel Watkins new aneroids in
the Alps hast autumn. He now con-
tributes to the London Times a let
ter announcing the result. Before 60
ing to Switzerland though, Mr.. Whym-
per had the barometer kept under the
receiver of an air-punp, at pressure of
only seventeen inches Qthe normal sea-
level pressure is thirty inches, it will be
remembered) All that time, Of course,
the barometer was out of gear. But
as soon as he threw it in he found that
it had not fallen any during the test
The experiments in the Alps were
made by visiting places whose exact
high above sea level was known, hav-
ing been previously determined by Gov
ernmental surveys. Mr. Whymper went
from one mountain to another, with oc-
casional descents into valleys. He at
tanned nights of over 10000 feet, and
wound up at Geneva, only 1,221 feet
above the sea level. During. a period
of forty days he noted a total drop of
~ inch. This amount is much less
than would have been experienced with
the old style of aneroid under the same
circumstances, and is equivalent to an
error of hundred feet or less.
f Nh. NV hymper is satisfied that with
better management the drop could have
been lessened. He mentions several in
stances in which no fall since the last
observation was discefnible. He has
confidence that in the right hands
great things can be accomplished with
the new instrument.-New York Tri-

A Clever Trick.

An ex-collector of customs relates
this as among his experiences: Some
years ago. and shortly prior to the
holidays. a man came into the office
and said that he wanted to talk with
me personally. He looked like an I'M
sophisticated fellow who had come in
from the country to try his hand at
business, though he had sharp features
and nasal twang.
Mister he began when we were
alone, I'm in kind of snarl, and I've
come to you because I want to do the
square thing. / had a nice lot of Ha-
vaney cigars shipped to Windsor,
thinkin' 1 could do a stroke sellin 'em
here in Detroit fur the Christmas trade.
| had a man there to take care of 'em
till l came on, but he, not KNOWN
nothin' about the law, packs them eli
gars in boat and brings 'em over here
without payin' no duty. 1 reckon it
was smugglin', but he's honest as the
sun, and hurried right here soon's I
heerd of what he'd done. Here's a sam
pie of them CIGARS as he held out
box, and want to say right here that
never had more delicious smoke. He
took me to the little room he had rent
ed and showed me hundreds of boxes on
which he paid the duty, and l let the
matter drop. 1t got into the papers,
even to my verdict as to the quality
of the cigars.
Then my honest Yankee made a
special Christmas sale, patromzed
chiefly by women, who did not care so
much about price as they did about the
credit for having selected good goods.
He was closed out in no time, and dis
appeared. There was a rank odor in
the local atmosphere that Christmas.
The cigars were cheap Connecticut fill
ers with cheaper Pennsylvania wrap
pers The cigar he gave me was

did not belong to him, but it was an
advertising scheme out of which the
