StownvaE Brides.

Stowaway brides are not as rare at
the barge Office as one would believe.
1t IS quite easy for girl to slip aboard
an outgoing steamer and stow herself
IN one Of the hunks below decks. lying
quietly there until we'll at sea. 4 case
happened little while ago, the girl
coming to meet her iance here. AS
both were poor. the former resorted to
this perllous expedient to accomplish
the desired end. One would think
that such heroic endeavor would de-
serve better reception But on arriv-
ing, having been worked very hard on
shipboard for passage. worn and wor-
ried almost to distraction, the maiden
was so changed by her ordeal Of love
that when her betrothed met her he
refused to marry her. a few days
later, while being taken back TO the
ship for deportation, she leaped into
the bay. Rescued gaIlantly, she linger-
ed prisoner in the charity hospital.
but died some weeks later, literally Of
q broken heart.-Alnslee's Magazine.

THE TRAIN WAS STOPPED.

And Then the Question Was Who to
Hold Responsible.
Zone night last winter" said Bos-
ton man, u came up from the south
with two friends of mine. They occu-
pied the stateroom. and was lodged
in q section outside. They were IN
hot discussion before they retired. and
one Of them had finally become so
sleepy as to abau tie argument

man to whom the argument had been
abandoned did not seem satisfied with
the victory he had won. aud when
left them be was Dusily engaged In
trying to prolong the talk with his

the aisle Of the car The train was at
q dead stop. and then | heard the
voice Of the conductor angrily ask OF
the porter. Now. who In thunder pull
ed that bell ropc:' | had a shrewd'
suspicion. but deemed Ii safe to lie
quiet and say nothing. Finally the
train started, and as they could not
find out who had jerked the bell rope
the car assumed its customary night
aspect Presently the stateroom door
opened and one Of NY friends request
ed me to step In and decide bet. 1t
seems that he who was not sleepy was
trying to tell the man who was some
thing to which the sleepy one refused
to listen on the ground that the noise
Of the car wheels made II impossible
for him to hear. The other man
promptly rang the bell and stopped
the train. as has already been told.
The bet of $50 was as to who was
responsible for stopping the train. The
sleepy one said the wide awake one,
because he had pulled the bell rope.
The wide awake one said 1t was the
sleepy one. because be had averred
that he could not hear what was SAID
to him because Of the rumbling OF the
train. which naturally led to the train
being stopped | decided in favor OF

Strength In Aluminium.

In reply to the question which. it Is
said, metal workers frequently ask,
what is the strength of aluminium
The Aluminium World says that cast
aluminium is about equal In strength
to cast iron IN tension, while In resist
ing compression 1t Is comparatively
weak. Under transverse strain alu-
minium is not very rigid, but 1t will
bend nearly double before breaking.
The tensile strength Of aluminium is
greatly improved by forging and press
Ing at temperature Of 600 degrees F.,
and aluminium alloycd with nickel Is
much stronger than the pure metal.

regular booth where they dispense

Camels cannot swim. They are very
buoyant, but Ill balanced, and their
heads 80 under water. They can,
however, be taught to swim rivers
with the aid Of goatskins or jars
fastened under their nccks. During
the Baluchistan expedition Of 1898 the
camels were lowered into the sea from
the ships, and their drivers, DlunSing

Of their charges, causing the animals

Central London is not, laid altogether
level. Just. before reaching a station
it rises 1.6 feet to a hundred and inn
.mediately after leaving it descends even
more rapidly for a short distance, the
grade then being 3.3 per cent. The OBJ
ject of this plan is to stop a train more
quickly when it is arriving and hasten
it's departure when it moves onward
again.
1T has often been observed that trains
on the elevated road in this city waste
more time in slowing down and getting
up speed again than they spend with
open gates. A train may remain mo-
,tionless only six or eight seconds. but
the loss Of time from the other causes
is two or three times as great. BY ac-
celebrating both stoppage and start a.
saving Of ten seconds might be made.
This repeated a dozen times would
make a difference of two minutes in
the total run. The advantage secured
by the expedient employed in London
is apart from and additional to the use
of electric motors, which enable a train
to develop full speed sooner than steam
does. New York Tribune.
