MILLIONS OF STEPS,
~ London Bus Conductor Does a Lit
tie Figuring on His Extraor-
dtnary Footwork

You know how firing it is to climb up
hight of steps, even when they are
well made and nicely upholstered, but
the chances are that YOU have never
given the bus conductor thought, al
though he probab bly, climbs more stairs
than any other individual in the world, =,
says the New York Telegram. An
obEglng London bus conductor. has
gone into the matter, and, being an
ADEPT at figures, as the ma ajority of bus
conductors are, he quickly evolved the
following interesting facts:
There are" he said, nine steps from
the platform to the top of the bus, and
1T is rather undertaking it to Say that l
climb that fight of steps IL times an
hour during the Is hours am on duty
every day; 20 would be nearer the mark,
but to be on the safe side we will put it
down as 12.
Mine steps at 12 times an hour, Is
hours day, seven days week, makes
the nice little total of 11,340 a week,
45,36o month or 5s9,6sO year. The
number of times step off the bus and
on again and the incidental number of
steps 1 climb like any other individual
in the ordinary course of life brings the
annual total up, reckon, to 600 900
steps year.

FISHING OFF A MAN-OF-WAR.
One Particularly Exciting Catch
Which Raised n Row Among
the Jackies.

The followers of Izaak Walton on
board man-of-war are wont to ply the
gentle art with line alone) from over
the ships side during the evening. A
sublicutenant, who was not particular
~ liked by his junior messmatcs, was
one day so engaged, when a midship-
man, seeing the line depending from
the chains" above, reached out of one
or the main deck ports and gave it
couple Of violent tugs, in imitation of n
fish biting. Up the line was hauled with
alacrity. but of course with no result.
Once again the Sub" essayed to catch
this big fish that had given him SO
leavy bite, says Cornhill Magazine.
This time the middy's plan was more
elaborate, for getting companion to
keep the necessary strain upon the
upper portion, he hauled up the lower
part of the fishing line and attached to
fhe hooks an old shoe, an empty bottle,
n holy stone and sardine tin. Having
carefully lowered these to the full ex-
tent of the line, he gave it more pow
erful pull than ever, and the expect
ant fisherman above hauled in as fast as
he could. hand over hand. But his Ian
guage when he discovered the nature of
his "catch" is too much to ask even an
unfortunate compositor to set up in
cold type.

body she digs a shallow hole in the
sand This is her nest In this hole
she lays about "a eggs The eggs are
about as large as those bantam chickens
lay, and sre q dark cream color. They
are oblong and more the shape of
pecan than of a hens egg. The shell is
not hard, like a hens egg, but yields to
the pressure of your finger, something
like rubber. Having laid her eggs in
the nest of sand, the mother boa winds
herself into perfectly fat coil, like
a round mat. This done, she gently
pushes waves Of sand upon the eggs
until they are covered from four to
six inches deep. Then she settles her
self upon the top and stays there for
10 days. At the end of this time lot
OF little snakes may be seen pushing
their way out from the nest and away
into the world to get their own living.
They don't show a bit of affection for
their mother or for each other, but
glide away, probably never to be to-
gether again. Is it any wonder, when
they act so just after being Matched
out, that boa constructors never like
anybody and never have anything to do
with people IL they can avoid it? Each
little snake measures from 10 to IA
inches in length, and is about as big
around as lead pencil. 1t is said that
they eat nothing at all during the first
six months of their lives, or until they
are old enough to catch and crush to
death small animals and swallow them
whole. The boS constructor never
bites-it has no poison fangs-but al
ways kills by coiling about its victim
and crushing it to death. Fully grown
the boa constructor is 30 to 40 feet long
and as big around as the large part OF
n mans leg.
Alligators are other things that are
not born" An alligator viii lay Joe
eggs within the short space OF three
days Much in the same way as the
boa constructor, the alligator deposits
it's eggs in the sand and usually leaves
them to their fate. The eggs are soft
and about AS large as duck eggs. They
hatch out in 81 days. The little slliga-
tors are five to six inches long when
they come from the shell. Alligator
eggs cannot be kept They wither and
dry to almost nothing.-Cincinnah En-

SAILED THROUGH AIR
Two Children Carried Away Acct
dentally in a Balloon.
Dropped from the Clouds the Next
Morning Ear from Home-An In
cident which Has Probably
No Equal

Mr.. William Harvey and his sister,
Miss Mary, living about six miles east
of Richview, H., tell, in the New York
Sun, an interesting story of themselves,
which happened a number of years ago.
They were quite small, the boy being
about five and his sister seven years
old During the year 1853, while the
state fair was being held at Central
City, ILL.,, an aeronaut of Chicago made
an ascension in a balloon at the state
fair on Saturday morning, and his bal
loon came down about six miles east of
here, near the country residence of Will
liam Harvey, Sr. The owner of the bal
loon, feeling chilled, went into the
farmhouse to warm, and tied his bal
loon to a rail fence near the barn. Lit
tie Willie and Mary were playing near
the barn. The noticed the balloon tied
to the fence, and, as they had never seen
balloon, they walked up to take look
at it, Seeing that it would go up few
feet and then back again, they thought
it would be fun to get in the basket and
ride. Mary helped her little brother in
and then she got in. The balloon went
up and down awhile; then all at once
1t gave lunge and pulled itself loose
from the fence Up and up it went,
with the little Harvey children in the
basket. The mother was looking out of
a window, and, seeing the balloon was
going up, told the aeronaut that his bal
loon had got away from the fence, and
they all went out to see il. The mother
came, and, as she watched the balloon
going up, she noticed some one in the
basket. Not once did she think it was
her two little children, nor could she
believe it to be her two children when
her husband told her the children were
nowhere TO DE found
A search was made all over the farm
for the missing ones, but without re-
suit. The father at once drove to Bone,
