New System of Electric Heating.

A new system Of electric heat Is
upon the market, 1t consists OF an
electric heater and a blower. The mo-
tor is of the standard fan type, and is
secured to a conical metal case. There
is an intake for air at the back. The
heater consists Of clay tubes wound
with fine German silver wire and COW
cred with an insulating coat Of enam-
el. The tubes are arranged radially
and the fan and the heater are both
closed in by a metallic casing. The
heater can draw air from without the
room or car, or in cold weather can
operate, using the air in the room or
car. Two Of these heaters will, it is
said, heat a forty-foot car to the prop.
er temperature. In the ordinary sys.
tenn some Of the persons in the cars
are uncomfortably warm, while 9th
ers are cold, but with the fan distribu-
tion the heat is positively distributed.
The fan will also prove useful in
school buildings on ships and war
vessels. 1t will be specially valuable
when vessels are out of commission
where it is desired to both warm and
move the alr.-Sclentifc American.

A Connecticut cat is charged with

a whole family nearly came to an un

lay at the door Of the most unrespon

mails. A dog is a shamefaced thing,
always ready to show penitence for his
sins. Hence the ease with which he
obtains forgiveness. Perhaps it is
owing to his contempt for contrition
that the cat has been accused Of trans
gressions, from breaking choice china
TO raidlng ice boxes. This self-con
tanned acquaintance, but not friend
Of man, has acted as the scapegoat for
careless servants for innumerable gen.

listed in the army 80 as to get away
from the storm that arose when It was
found that his father was insolvent
1t soon became the general theory in
the town that the elder Bond had gone
there to rob the bank, and had been
killed by real bank robber, and there
were those who thought they could
remember the exact looks of certain
mysterious strangers that had been
seen about town.
Bonds conscience could stand 1t no
longer, he says, and he went to Kan
sas and enlisted and came out here,
hoping secretly that he would be
killed, for he had not the courage to
commit suicide. He wanted me to
write to his relatives clearing up the
entire mystery, and telling them that
he had expiated his crime. The one
thing / can't understand" said Peters
in telling the story sis why he wants
me to write all this before he dies. He
must have n dreadful conscience. He
said to me: L am wounded exactly in
the place In which my father was
wounded when 1 shot him. 1 know
can't live. Just tell the truth about
me, and make sure that the boys will
not despiGe me too much. l have done
my duty by them and by the fag,'
says he. l broke down and wept, Ill
admit, and I'm prepared to say there's
no living soul but has some good in
them. And then there's the duty of
deciding what's to be done if Bond

According to Maxwell the bugles just
then blew for a forward movement,
and soon all were lying on the firing
line shooting at the Filipinos. Max
well made another awkward pause,
and one Of his auditors said:
"Well, 1 suppose Bond really died
and you fellows did the right thing by
him even in DEATH"
"Dle" said Maxwell. "Great Scott,
no. At least, not then. Less than two
hours after Peters had told that story
Bond came stealing up to the firing
line, and there he lay next to me all
day working like a demon. i thought
you were dying 1 said to him.
Thunder, no. he replied. 1T was only
a little wound. Scarcely bled at all,
When Peters wasn't around the doc.
tor told me it amounted to nothing,
but urged me to stay in the rear for
the night. This morning he put a lit.
tie plaster on the broken skin, and
here I am again. Did Peters tell you
a long story about my mysterious past?
Did, eh? 1 thought So / told him
that yarn purposely. 1 thought It
about time to call him off and make him
a laughing stock, Pretty good story,
wasn't it? Any truth in it, Thunder
no. l knew was not hurt. Even If
Bond shouldn't happen to be my real
name, there's no occasion for getting
up such a yarn as that What's that?
Am hurt? Yes, old man, guess

II saw that he had been wounded
seriously this time. 1 supported his
head on my knee, gave him drink Of
water his eyes became fixed and be-
tween his gasps he said to me:
Maxwell, 1 guess you had better
tell Peters to write that story home,
after all, just as 1 told it to him.
