And a moment later they wero
speeding toward the bank. They
had not gone 20 yards when they
met the first group of hastily armed
men who were on the trail of the
robbers.

there" shouted the liveryman. "She
shot him, an we've got the bank

his horse again. And the next
group heard the same story and the
next and the next, and they all turn
ed and stared after blushing Susan
Brown.
And then they were at the bank.
There was a little crowd about the
door, but they quickly made way
for Susan and the liveryman and
the precious bag.
And there was Jack sitting up in
a big chair, and somebody was bath
ing his head, and he was blinking
queerly, like man slowly waking
up, but he suddenly seemed to re-
gain his faculties when Susan
Brown, forgetful of all eyes about
her, suddenly dropped on her knees
beside him and put up her loving
arms and cried, "0h, Jackw
"Why, Susan, dearp murmured
Jack. "There, there, don't worry.
I'm just little dazed. One of those

her face against Jacks rough coat,
sobbed convulsively. And Mr.. Tomp-
kins told what he knew, and then the
astonished and delighted Jack turn
ed the recovered treasure over to
his assistant, who had been tempo
rarily absent at the time of the at
tack, and, borrowing the happy Mr..
Tompkins' phaeton, drove Susan to
her aunt's.
"Oh, jack" she murmured on the
way, ''it was so unwomanly and so
cold blooded!"
'I'm afraid it was, my DEAR" said
Jack in a painfully solemn voice.

Senator calrs Select Audience.

1t has passed into history that
Hon. Wilkinson Call of Florida,
though for three terms a United
States senator and highly honored
by his state, did not make a great
impression on the senate as a speak
/, er and that he thus disappointed all
those who have the tradition in their
minds that all southern statesmen
are orators.
Senator Call, it is said, once arose
to make a speech when the senate
chamber was rather empty. AS he
spoke the few members of the SEN
ate who were there filed out to get
luncheon. No one remained on the
floor to listen to the speech. But
the president of the senate still sat
in his place, dignifed and calm.
The galleries were also rather
empty, and the incident became the
subject Of Washington gossip. At
a dinner party where a southern pol
itician was guest it was asked what
he thought of the southern senator's
audience when he made his speech in
the senate that morning.
Then came a clever answer, for
the southern man said, with a grave
face: 81 thought it a very distin-
guished audience. There was no
person there of less rank than the
ticc president of the United States.V

California has more college
students in proportion to its pop
ulation than any other state in the
Union-one in 40. This state
spends more money on high
schools than any other state save
New York, Ohio or Massachu-
setts, and more OH it's common
schools in proportion to popula-
tion than any state save Massa-
chusetts or Nevada. Women
teachers receive higher wages in
California than anywhere else in
America. OF the students of the
University of California, 60 per

46 per cent. are women. Califor-

tion is due largely to such philan-

THAT POUND OF FEATHERS.
Scientific Demonstration That II ls
Heavier Than the Pound Of Lead.

Heavier Than the Pound Of Lead.
A famous old catch question for
unwary boys is, (Which is heavier, a
pound of feathers or a pound of
lead ?" Of course the unwary boys
answer, "a pound of lead" and then
everybody laughs, for how can a
pound of one thing be heavier than
a pound of some other thing? But
the people that do the laughing are
just as much in error as the boys
are, only it is the other way about,
for pound of feathers is, as mat
ter of fact, heavier than a pound of
lead.
Here is the way to demonstrate it /:
With perfectly accurate scales weigh
a pound of lead, using ordinary shot
for convenience. With the same
scales weigh a pound Of feathers,
putting them in muslin bag for
the purpose and being very careful
that the bag and the feathers to-
gether weigh exactly one pound.
Place the shot in one pan Of bal
ance and the bag Of feathers in the
other, and they will presently come
to an exact level. Thus it seems
that they weigh exactly the same.
But different state of things is
shown if the balance, with the shot
and feathers undisturbed, be placed
on the receiver of an air pump and
covered with the glass bell jar.
When the air has been exhausted,
the feathers will sink and the shot
will go up, thus showing that the
feathers are the heavier.
The explanation is that no ac-
count has been taken of the buoyant
power of the air, which bears every
thing up in proportion to the things
bulk. As the bag of feathers is of
greater bulk than the shot, it is sup
ported by the air to a greater extent
than the shot, and it therefore takes
more than a pound Of feathers to
balance pound of lead. In the air
pump, however, there is no such
support, and the difference is at once
apparent.

Pull Out Their Deards.

The Eskimos have coarse, black
hair, some with a tinge of brown.
Males have the crown Of the head
closely cropped, so that reindeer
may not see the waving locks when
the hunter creeps behind bunch
grass. They have black eyes and
high cheek bones. The bones of the
face are better protected from the
severity of the climate by a thicker
covering Of flesh than southern
races. Generally their beard is very
scant, and most Of them devote 9th

hairs.

SIeepless Fish.

The little goldfish, the pet of the
household aquariums, never goes to
sleep. In this respect the pike and
salmon are his equals. They are as
alert for their prey in the ocean as
the goldfish is for the crumbs that
are fed him from household tables.
In his native element the goldfish
forages for himself and has his eyes
open all the time. There are some
goldfish in Washington which have
belonged to the same family for the
last so years, and they seem no big
ger and no less vivacious today than
they did when they first came into
the owners possession. A few of
the fish in the imperial aquarium
at St. Petersburg are known to be
$50 years old, and the age of the sa-
cred fish in some of the ponds at
tached to the temples in China is to
be counted by centuries, if we are to
believe the Buddhist priests.
