protected by two cables from 900 to

conductors, and in the event OF its
striking an obstacle, bell is rung
and the boat recedes. When the OBJ
struction is removed the torpedo boat
goes forward again.

The deafness of locomotive engi-
neers and tiremen has been looked
upon as an effect of the whistle. Mr..
George Trebel points ont that this
cannot be 50, and finds that the en-
gineers are deaf in the right ear and
the firmen in the left, leading him to
suggest that the cause is the impact
of the wind on the ear-drum as the
men lean from the cab. The sound
of the whistle is scarcely noticeable
while the men on the slow-movinG
yard engines are not affected.

WHEN HE LAUGHED.

When Larkins laughed all digger
City laughed with him. Never was
laugh more merry. more contagious
The men of Digger city were sober
lot, and to them the bright side OF life
was generally reflected in and meas
ured by the gold they tug, but be luck
good or bad. not one OF the rough men
that made up the mining camp ever
had the temerity to dispute Larkins'
right to laugh and make others laugh
with him.
And yet there was a suspicion that
Larkins laughed because he was sad.
Larkins arrived In Digger city one
stormy winter night. no one knew
from where. Witt him was child,
a chubby. goldeu-A a. ed boy ~ 4 years.
Some one asked how long the Journey
had been, and Digger City then heard
the laugh II was to know so wen.
"The kid and l." said Larklns with
wave oi his hand toward the east,
come from there. We didn't leave
much behind. and mebbe we haven't
got much in store ahead. but we1l
stick together, won't we, old boy? Dad
and his kid will stick together, eh?"
Then Larkins smoothed the baby's
hair and laughed until the crowd had
caught the infection.
Months passed and still Digger City
learned little OF Larkins or his boy.
In mining camps a man is judged for
what he is. The man with a past can
bury II. Digger City learned TO know
and to love Larkins for himself and
for his boy. The man lived for the
child, and when other miners were at
the Screech Eagle bar trading their
dust for drinks Larkins might be
found at his cabin hu ng some lul-
laby to the baby.
Often Larkins and the boy would
visit the Screech Eagle. It's just to
give the boy time" Larlins would
explain. His dads too old TO care on
his own account" Yet the man could
not have been over 80 at the most.
Then Larkins and the boy would
proceed to haveethe time" and while
II lasted the onlookers you'd declare
that the frowzly-headed baby was quite
as old as the big, bearded mine who
would toss him in the air and gallop
about the room as a horse for the little
driver To the baby this play was a
serious matter, as 1t clutched its IA
theirs suspenders and lisped commands
for which he labored all day, and the
room would ring with merriment
One day while Larkins was at work
Ia. child wandered from the cabin and
was drowned in otter creek. That day
every pick in the camp was laid down.
No man could work when Larkins'
kid" was dead
The miners went at once to Larkins'
shanty and found him there, sitting on
a barrel, his head buried In his hands.
He did not look up when they APP
