An English paper says that a we'll
known lecturer was once invited to take
tea at a certain house. Immediately on
being seated at the table a little daugh-
ter of the house said to the guest alb
ruptly:
Where is your wife,"
The lecturer, who had recently sepa-
rated from his better half Mas surprised
and annoyed at the question, and STAN
mered forth the truth:
II don't know"
Don't know" repeated the child
Why don't you know
Finding that the child persisted in her
Interrogation, despite the mild reproof
of the parents, he decided to make a
clean breast of the matter and have it
over at once so he said with calmness:
We'll, we don't live together. We
think, as we can't agree, we'd better
not"
He sti1ed a groan as the child began
again, and darted an exasperated look at
her parents.
But the little torment would not be
quieted until she exclaimed
Cant agree? Then why don't you
fight it out, the same as father and
mother do?"

aeronauts and a naval lieutenant. He

signal lamps and an electric pump to
draw up sea water for ballast whenever
necessary by tubes immersed in the sea.
