600 for defamation OF character said
Ransom II. McCriIlis, late deputy collec-
tor OF internal revenue, today. MY
character has pesn wickedly and cause
iessiy aspersad, Up to today have not
been notified by the collector OF o
single instance where my accounts were
short. As God is my witness 1 do not
know where 1 have caused the govern
ment the loss Of a single cent. Why, II
had been crooked, did not Mr.. GIN
have me arrested. defy him to arrest
me, for trial would prove my complete
exoneration."
The general opinion he re is that Mr..
McCriIiis has been harshly treated and
that II he has made mistakes he
has erred through being too lenient with
the governments creditors. However II
all the charges made by Collector Gill
have no more foundation than that of
the Haverhill case cited by him, then
there ia complete vindication for Mo
Criilis in sight. The story told was that
woman who kept a lodging house on
Essex street, Haverhill, was fined for
Illegal sale Of liquors; that McCrillis
called ON her and demanded s75 for the
government, but finally accepted S30 and
the woman heard no more OF the case.
According to MoCriliis story, he collect.
ed $50, when he went for the balance,
"a 80, he was locked In q room in the
woman's house and the return Of the
money demanded. McCriilis broke
open the door and made his escape.
The outcome Of the investigation
was the disclosure OF nefarious
attempt to biackmail Mr.. MoCrillis. The
first person called on Haverhill was Ru-
fus ID. Tapley, a well known attorney,
who had been counsel for the woman In
the case. MIR. Tapley was emphatic. He
said the charge against McCriliis was
made out OF whole cloth. cit was a
badger game, and L Will go on the stand
and testify to It. 1t was altogether for
the purpose of blackmail,"

From the American point of view
the insurgent leaders over in the Phil
ippines are all pack of boys" said
Louis Rodriqucs, the Filipino, now re-
siding in New Orleans, who has applied
for the position Of stenographer on
Gen. Otis staff. ut may surprise you
to know that their average age is be-
tween Is and IS. l know nearly all of
them personally, and many of them are
the sons of our old friends and neigh
bors, so l am not at all likely to be
mistaken. There is hardly a native Of
ficer in Aguinaldo's whole command
who has reached 80, and few who are
over 25. ! know positively that some
boys between Is and 16. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that young
people mature much more rapidly in
that tropical climate than they do in
this country. There, Is is regarded as
an age of discretion and responsibility,
and not a few marry even younger. Sc
we're, long-cOntinUsd eNertiOn is impOs-
sible in the latitude of Manila, and a
man of 35 ought to be provided against

gin early. Aguinaldo chose boys for his
officers because he was shrewd enough
to appreciate the military value Of the
enthusiasm of youth."-N. o. Times

Mathematical Magic.

You can never tell what figures will
do. or course they are truthful IL
properly handled. but some OF them
are capable of the most bewildering
antics. Here Is a method by which
figures may be made to tell secrets in
a way that will astonish those who are
not informed about how to do the
figuring;
Ask some person to put down un-
known to you "A number composed OK
three figures (say 1922. Tell him 70
transpose the figures (making 267) and
to subtract the lesser from the great
er. Then ask him to tell you the first
him the entire number. For instance.
your first number in the present eX-
ample is 1872, which transposed makes
267. Subtract 267 from 762 and you
have 495. The only figure that you are
told is 4, the first of the result. All
you have to do is to subtract 4 from g..
which will give you 5, the last figure,
and the central figure is always 8. So
your number will be 495. This Is true
in all cases where only three figures
are used in making up a number. The
central figure will always be 9 when
the transposed number is subtracted
from the original number, and the two
end figures when added together will
make .. So, knowing either the first
or the last figure Of the result. you can
give the entire number.

Trick Played Upon q Walter.

Liquid air is perhaps the coolest
thing in the world. 1t is so cold that
a cake of ice Is a fierce fire compared
with 1t. for a kettle of liquid air placed
on a cake of ice will boil just as water
boils over a hot fire. 1t freezes mer-
curry so hard that one can drive nails
with It. The story Is told that Mr..
Charles +. Tripler, the experimenter In
liquid air, recently took a quart can
of the remarkable substance with him
on a visit to a friend. On the way he
stopped In a restaurant to eat a beef
steak. The waiter brought a hot
broiled steak and placed 1t in front OF
Mr.. Tripler. AS soon as the walters
back was turned. Mr.. Tripler hastily
opened the can and exposed the meat
to the liquid air, Instantly the steak
was frozen as hard as a rock. When
the waiter came back his customer
complained that the steak was frozen.
So the waiter called the head waiter.
and the head waiter blamed II all on
the cook. and the cook was at a loss
to explain, and the result was that the
frozen steak was taken back into the
kitchen as a mysterious curiosity. A
new steak was broiled for Mr.. Trlplef,
and this one he ate with much relish

is sometimes called by the high-sound-
ing title of The Revenge OF the Dan
ladies'" in allusion to the daughters or
Danaus. who. as a punishment Tor
their crimes, were condemned to for
ever draw water with leaky vessels.
Fill completely two glasses OF exactly
the same size and shape, one with
water, the other with milk. Stretch
over the mouth Of the glass contain
ing the water a circular covering or
tulle or other thin goods, somewhat
larger than the glass, and previously
moistened. Now smooth the tapping
over tulle as closely to the glass as
possible, and holding the palm OF the
right hand squarely to the mouth OF
the glass. seize the stem with the left
and turn II quickly upside down.
avoiding the entrance Of air. Next
slide the right hand softly away from
underneath, and, much to your as
constituent, the tulle will remain
sticking to the glass. while not a drop
of water will fall out through that ex-
ceedingly leaky tissue. You Will very
soon succeed in this experiment.
Hereon follows the second part: Place
your full, but not dripping, glass OF
water. thus turned upside down, but
not inside out. over the full glass OF
milk. and you will soon see little jets
Of white liquid penetrating the tulle in
every direction. 1t Is the milk, pro-
gressively mounting the superior
glass, which in the same proportion
yields water to the lower glass in the
opposite direction. At the end OF
about a quarter OF an hour he ex-
change will be complete, and you will
see the lower glass filled with pure
transparent water, while the upper one
will be full Of white milk.

when IL begins to harden. The water
in the air about it frequently formed
into rain and fell on the hot surface
and helped to cool It. though, OF
course, 1t evaporated again very quick
ly. but remained OF the crust
and gradually formed an ocean all

the earth went on cooling under this
hardened crust and shrunk as 1t cool

they cool Off. You can easily prove
this yourself by heating the end Of a
key that fits a lock snugly; and you
will find that, when 1t Is quite hot,
you cannot get 1t into the lock at all,
but soon as IL cools it will go in again
as before. So the inner part OF the
earth went on shrinking, and finally
1t shrunk so much that the outside

and cracked at different spots all
round the earth, so that the surface,
which must before have been pretty
smooth. became rough with high ele-
vations and deep depresslons, AMI
naturally all the water flowed into
those deep depressions and formed
oceans in spots where there had been
before a single ocean reaching all
