If people could only remember all
that they dream, the world would be
richer in literature, art and the SCI
ences. Dreams. however, are epheme-
raj, no matter how brilliant they may
be, and usually fade away without
leaving any lasting impression on the
brain. That was not the case, how
ever. with Frank McCroy of Halstead,
Pa. He dreamed out the lost art of
tempering copper, he says. and not only
remembered it. but put it to the test.
He claims to have been perfectly sue
cessful in his efforts. and to have tenn
pered copper to such hardness that il
will hold an edge better than steel.

III luck seems to have made a mark
of Mrs. Tinker of st. Louis. Last year
she stopped at hotel at Spring Lake,
N. j.. and in a few days the house was
burned. This year she went to Allen
hurst, and in less than an hour after
her arrival the hotel was discovered
to be on fire. Then she went over to
Asbury Park, and before the day was
over she had been robbed of $1,000
worth of diamonds.

That was a captains battle, as we
all understand" says Secretary Long,
with reference to the Santiago naval
fight, in which Cervera's fleet was de-
stroyed. 1t may be true. The chances
are that If there had been no flag off,
Ger with the fleet the result would have
been the same. The captains of the
American ships were competent men
and knew their business. But. if 1t
was captains battle" where is the
reason or justice in trying to give Ad-
miral Sampson all of the credit for it?
If It was merely a captains battle"
Schley would seem to deserve much
more credit than Sampson, because he
was in it, on the bridge of the Brook
Ign, while Sampson was ten miles
away.

It is one Of the traditions of the Chi
nese court that the royal encourage is
watched over and guarded by the sa-
cred xellt W dragon, which is the pro-
tector and genius of the royal family
The dragon is supposed to be the en-
bodiment Of ali of the forces of mo-
ton, change and power of offense and
defense in animal life. 1t possesses
the gift of rendering itself visible or
invisible at will. In the spring 1t as
cends to the skies, and in the autumn
buries itself in the ground. A sooth-
sayer of the court a short time ago an
nounced that since the entry of the
foreign devils" into Pekin the yellow
dragon had departed from the capital
and would not return. Without the
Dragons influence the emperor would
be powerless. hence he is not going to
make Pekin his capital again until
such time as the dragon may be per-
suaded to change its mind and once
more take UP headquarters there.

a Cool House III Il id.

A rather curious method of burglar
catching was reSortcd to by an in
genious maidservant recently in New
the story, while in pursuit of her
household duties the maid noticed a
mans foot inside the clothes closet
She did not scream, neither did she
jump at the door nor shut it with Il
bang. Instead she took Il broom and
began to sweep that corner OF the
EoOm near the closet. Her approach
was gradual, and the sweeping was
done SO naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious bur-
glar. At last the broom brushed the door
gently, but hard enough to close it to
the fraction of an inch. With five or
six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut and almost latched
which she ut length succeeded in doing
by gently pressing her arm against it.
AS the telephone in her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her if she called
for assistance, she bethought herself
Of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone linemen were at the
time making repairs OH wire that
runs to another house in the block
She went out and spoke to them. They
promptly tapped a wire, attached q
testing instrument and called up one
of the down town exchanges, which in
turn got the house owner, who in his
turn called up police headquarters.
From there the call was sent to the
police station nearest the, house, and
two policemen were sent around and
got the man.
