The Germ Of an Invention.

The late General George B. McClel
Ian, U. S. A.. is credited with having
made the statement many years ago
that the sinking Of clans into the sand
along the ocean shore by closing their
shells and ejecting the water from
them In thin stream first suggested
to him the use Of the water jet as an
aid In sinking piles in sand. At any
rate as long ago as 1852 a water jet
was SO used by General McClellan's ad.
vice in putting down piles for wharf
and warehouse. Water was forced
through an ordinary rubber hose, with
a piece of gas pipe on the end for
nozzle. This was placed close to the
point of the pile on the bottom, the jet
of water securing the sand away from
the pile and making hole, In which
the pile sank rapiily.-Cassier's Maya

men who come properly under the

of having designs to evade the custom
house duties and to warn the baggage
inspectors at this end of the impend-

"In cleverness, address and adapta-
bility the secret service spotter is easi-

even ranks with the trained experts Of
the European diplomatic corps. 1t is
essential that he should be a man Of

has no fixed abode, but lives in va
rious European capitals when he is
not ON shipboard, where he is much of
the time. He must never let himself
be in the slightest degree suspected.
"There is always a number of these
agents In Paris, because of the great
American trade there. They live at
the fashionable hotels and live the life
apparently Of flaneurs and boulevar'
diers. In all lines Of trade that concern
dutiable goods they are experts, and
no large purchase by an American in
Paris is unknown to them. Their cir
Gle of acquaintance is enormous, but
nobody knows them for what they are.
In one way or another they contrive
to make the acquaintance Of any per-

tiously but unremittingly trail him.

note tells all that the willy smuggler
would wish to keep secret, and his
baggage is mercilessly ransacked until
the hidden articles are brought to

The Good Effects of Apple Eating.

The Good Effects of Apple Eating.
The apple Is such common fruit that
few are familiar with its remarkable
efflcacious properties. Everybody ought
to know that the very best thing they
can do is to eat apples just before re.
firing for the night. The apple Is an
excellent brain food. because 1t has
more phosphoric acid in easily digested
shape than any other vegetable known.
1t excites the action of the liver, pro-
notes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. That
Is not all. The apple agglutinates the
surplus acids of the stomach, helps the
kidney secretions and is one of the best
preventives known of diseases Of the
throat.-Journal of Agriculture.
