New Kind of Phonograph.

At the last meeting of the Berlin
Polytechnic society an engineer named
Leisner explained a new kind of phon-
ograph for service at sea, writes a
Berlin correspondent BY coupling to-
gether membranes, between each of
which microphone is fixed, he has
succeeded in so Strengthening the tone
emitted by all sound that any noise can
be heard for distance of three sea
miles. 1t is suggested that by means
of this invention a commander at sea
will be able to issue his orders to all
the ships in his fleet. and that in the
same manner ships will be able to
communicate with each other in the
densest fog. OF course, 1t would be
equally useful on land. and railway
accidents, it is thought, may be also
greatly diminished. as warnings could
be given at long distances apart.

to the days when he was a gentleman

his little world.
Gradually the whisky oozed out OF
the Tramp's brain, and memory's
paintings passed before his eyes. The
buttercups in the meadows, and the
the loud whistle OF the quail in the
fence corner; her father house amid
the elm trees at the end of the lane;
the music of her young voice, and the
magic touch of her little hand!
How madly he had loved her in those
old days in that simple, peaceful coun-

slocum,s Spray.

England, it seems, has something to
learn from America, even in the matter
OF boat building. Capt. Joshua Slo-
cum, author of Sailing Alone Around
the World" has just received a letter
from a stranger, bearing an East In
dian stamp, and postmarked Berbera
(Africa), London, and New York, in
which his correspondent expresses a
desire to possess a boat built on the
lines of the famous sloop Spray. Il

the Englishman writes, 'separted by
some 40 miles from the main group at
which steamers call. Its produce has
to be ferried twice a month to the
steamer station. Often, in the mon
soons, the seas run high, and q stout
boat is necessary. as we'll as one that
can sail we'll to windward. and do
something in light airs. A boat like
the Spray would just do, and would
also be great pleasure, for there are
numbers of ne'ghboring islands one
would like to visit, and sometimes a
run to Bombay, or Ceylon. or Nom
basa, or Maritius, would be possible. :"
Needless to say, the gallant captain
lost no time in forwarding the Sprays
specifications, in answer to this fat
tering request.

The Barrier at the Door.
BY EDGAR wELToN COOLEY.


Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story Pub Coz
Amid some old barrels and rubbish
in an alley, covered with grease and
dirt and rags, lay the Tramp. His
eyes were bloodshot and bleary.
Over the buildings and in the
streets and alleys, silent and damp,
rested the fog that had drifted in
from the lake. Pedestrians lodged
each other on the walks like grim
shadows fitting hither and yon. The
gongs on the electric cars kept up an
incessant din and vehicles picked their
way along the congested thorough
fares.
But the Tramp was oblivious to fog
and confusion. Unkempt, outcast,
desolate. he lay, his faculties inert. be-
numbed by the liquor that turned the
blood in his veins to fire, and threw
a heavy veil between him and the trag-
edies and the pathos of his life.
From out of the yellowish black OF
the street, into the denser fog OF the
alley came two shadowy forms. They
halted by the brick wall of building
where the Tramp lay.

bluntly. what's the job-liftin'?"

of tannin and salt of iron and nutgalls
and green vitriol. but many an author

A queer sentence closes the inscrip-
ton on tombstone in churchyard
in Leigh, England. After announcing
the name and other particulars of the
lady there buried, these words follow:
"A virtuous woman is 5s, to her hus-

prevented "a crown" being cut in full,
and the stonecutter argued that a
crown equals IS.
