WINDOWS CLEANED AT NIGHT.
Tail That workose Be-
Soas Dissy,

I'VE have introduced an innovation
in our building, that is practiced no
where else in town." said the agent OF
a New York skyscraper, reports the
Sun. I'VE clean our windows at night.
Our chief reason for the change
was tha, from the very beginning our
building has seemed to be a regular
hoodoo for window cleaners. Although
no higher than good many other
buildings in town. the situation has
the effect of making the cleaners lose
their heads and no matter what pre-
cautions were adopted hardly week
passed that somebody did not fall and
break his neck or his shoulder blade.
or. at the very least. skin his crazy
bone.
after two or three score cleaners
had been incapacitated for duty by
tumbling out of our windows the whole
fraternity began to fight shy OF US.
They all said that to look down at that
particular section OF the street made
them so dizzy that they couldn't keep
right side up even though tied to the
sill. and at last, as remedy. we sug-
gexted that the windows be washed at
night when the distance to the side
walk would be eliminated by the dark
ness.
I'VE found man who seemed willing
TO risk his neck, and as he scrubbed all
one night without suffering bodily in
jury, he agreed to serve us regularly
fhenceforward. So we have all the
work done at night now"

ONE MACHINE GUN.
Properly Worked IL RSusl In Eject
to Two asnAss1 RiAes We'll
Handed.

The destructive power OF the ma
chine gun a. compared to the small
arm even in large numbers has been
the subject of interesting trials
abroad. reports of which have reached
the navy department here. says the
Baltimore Sun.
That one machine gun properly and
effectively worked is equal to 200 rifles
in the hands Of as many soldiers has
been amply demonstrated. Each shot
from the machine gun works greater
injury also to the body struck than the
small bullet Of the army rife, and its
range is far greater.
In recent trials so marksmen were
chosen to compete with the Hotch-
kiss right-millimeter gun. which has
lately been widely adopted in France
and Germany. The ranges fred were
from 400 to 500 yards. At 800 yards the
so rihemen, each having Ave rounds in
1cpendently. obtained 81 hits. or 22.6
per cent. of the number OF rounds
fired. Thirty-two men were then
chosen from among the so, and these
had to fire each eight rounds in 80
seconds. Under these conditions 81.
or 1873 per cent. Of the rounds e1-
pended. were recorded.
The machine gun WAS then brought
into action. and in IS seconds hred 2l1
bullets. making l+5 hits. 1t WAS
shown from the results that the ma
chine gun was far ahead in hits made
and rapidity OF fire. No such practical
tests of the relative inertia Of the ma
ching sun and number OF small arms
have been made before.

srv1RoxxsNf OF AUTHORS.

Surr0un d1nEs.

The workshops of American authors
have much to do with the quality of
what they produce. Differing tenn
peraments require different conditions
in which to accomplish the best re-
suits. This is peculiarly shown in the
case of the great American writer's
OF the day. For example, Harriet Pres
colt Spofford does her best work sit
ting under the trees writing on q pad
resting on her lap.
Margaret Deland has a perpetual
bit OF summer introduced into her
Boston home. A small glass conserva-
tory, filled to overhowing with gay
jonquils, is where this brilliant writer
does her best work.
Winston Churchill, author OF "Rich-
ard Carvel." lives in st. Louis in the
winter and in Vermont in the summer.
He does his work in q very business
like way in an Office at the top OF one
OF the city's skyscrapers. Here. sur
rounded by the roar and din OF the
city's traffic, he wrote the charming
story of long ago. when cable cars and
typewriters were an unknown guam
tity.
Bret Harte generally writes out OF
doors, but always while smoking. He
said the first lines always took q cigar
and sometimes two cigars.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
DA0sAtioaAl system OF the
COuA1SY.

The school savings bank has grad.
ually come 70 occupy an important
place In this country's educational
system. While it is nowhere obliga.
tory that teachers or school officers
shall assume these new responsible
ties. they in many cases have volun-
teered to adopt the plan when its
benefits have come to pe understood.
In many parts of the United States,
and especially in the west. the recent
development of the school banks has
been rapid. California has estab b.
lished the system in a number of
towns and cities within a few
months, and there are indications
that the practical teaching Of les
sons of thrift N the public schools
may soon become general, says the
Philadelphia Times.
1t is stated by the statistician OF
this movement that there are now
3,5SS school banks in the United
States, which have oa.s67 depositors
The amount deposited in these
schools since the work was estab-
lished is placed at $4,000 and the
amount remaining on deposit on jan
uary l last was $355,00O. 1t is doubt
full. however. IL these figures are COM
plete. In Montgomery county. in this
state, where the work seems to have
advanced farther than in any other
section of the country, the scholar
have deposited In about ten years no
less than $175,0O0. and on January 1
last 1000 depositors still had in bank
$4O,ols. In Atlantic City the deposit,
amounted to se,s7e during the last
school year.

FIRE AMONG THE REDwo0Ds.

Perhaps the most startling phe-

death of childlike sequoias only CEN

comparatively slow and steady fire
work, one of these tall beautiful sap

reaching from the ground to the top
of the tree, and so to 100 feet or more
above it. with smoke column bending
forward and streaming away on the
upper free-fowing wind. To burn
these green trees strong fire OF dry
wood beneath them is required to send
up n current of air hot enough to dis
till infammabie gases from the leaves
and sprays: then. instead of the low
er limbs gradually catching fire and
igniting the next and next in success

almos, simultaneously. and with aw-
full roaring and throbbing q round
tapering flame shoots up 200 or 300

AN ILLINOIS SNARE.
Takes U Quarters In . NswsDaDsE
- O0cs anA ExDsls the
Nice.

Every well-regulated printing Office
has watering can in which water Is
kept to wet the type. For want Of
a better place, the one in the Home
Journal Office is usually kept on a
window sill on the north side of the
room. One day during the recent
drought two of our printers were
sitting on their stoois at this window
sticking type, when they were nearly
petrified by the sight Of snake pro-
truding its head above the sill from
the outside. The boys almost broke
their necks in getting. away. Reach
ing over into the pan, the snake took
good drink. and, before the startled
printers could secure q club with
which to dispatch the reptile. It had
disappeared, says the Lacon Ill.)
Home Journal.
The next day at the same hour the
snake came for another drink, and
this was repeated the third and
fourth days, but the last time 1t WAS
attacked from the rear by . big
black Thomas cat that makes its
home at Testers livery barn. next
door. 1t was a lively fght for few
seconds. but the cat was too much
for the snake. although 1t was fully
four feet long, and the reptile made
shoot for the rear Of the Office. The
cat was after it like a streak OF light
ming. but the snake found a hole IN
the brick wall and disappeared under
the building.
That was two weeks ago. Before
that time the printing ONCE was
overrun with mice, but since then
there hasn't been mouse about the
place. Any Of our readers who are
troubled with mice are cordially IN
vited to come and borrow our snake
for a few dayS.

Thirteen Lives Lost.

A sequel to the terrific flood in
upper East Tennessee and south
west Virginia is being now realized.
The river at Knoxville has risen 80
feet, the highest known since 1878,
when it was 80 feet above low wa
ter. 1t is probable that the great
est damage viii be the flooding of
some industries and lands along the
river front aud stopping river traffic
more or less.
Much debris is floating down the
river, and considerable is being
caught at Knoxville.
Conservative estimates from up
per East Tennessee place the dead
actually found at thirteen. Specu-
lation, however, exists as to the
number that may be found dead af-
ter the water recedes. The dead 50
