Forgive me; I couldn't help it. I

Forgive me; l couldn't help it. I
am your cousin, you know, and you are
brave and true little girl. Goodby,
Elpie; l shall soon see you again.
And this strange burglar was gone.
A year later they met again. Nor
man Kemp was in full possession of
his property, and Elpic, who had the
modest income OF $500 from her we'll
invested inheritance, had been spend
ing some months abroad with friends
The Kemps, discovered in what had
really been a fraud, had disappeared
none knew where. No one but little
Elpie, who was tender hearted little
girl, cared where they went.
She was no longer the little neglect
ed girl he had first seen; she was more
womanly and experienced. But she
still blushed, and then paled little as
Norman took her hand.
Il have been making changes in my
home" he said, after little desultory
conversation.
"Yes, I've heard So" Elpie an
swered, and somehow her head
dropped, and so did her sweet, childish
lips.
Norman sat looking at her silently.
And have you heard, also," he
asked quietly, at last that l wish a
mistress for it?"
Elpie's heart beat very low and dull
ly.
yes, I've heard that, too. Miss
Miss Grant Of Washington, isn't it?"
Norman started. who told you
that"
"Oh, don't know; every one thinks
it,"
Then every one is wrong" said Nor
man; and he suddenly came very close
to her and laid mis- hand on her little
fingers.
"Elpie, there's only one mistress in
all the world | want for it; can't you
guess who it is? The little girl I've
loved since looked down at her sleep

wife?"
And he must have heard an answer
that satisfied him, though no one else
could have done so; for the next mo-
ment Elpie's little brown head rested
on her burglars breast, and then and
there he bent and kissed, not her hand
this time. but her lips.-American

hungry Exposition visitors.

Those who were visitors to the Paris
exposition will be interested to learn
few telling facts and figures con
cerning the meat which the French
capital consumed daily on an average
during the month of September, when,
it should be remembered. larger
number of visitors came to see the ex-
position than at any other time dur
ing the summer.
The slaughter house at Villette,
which supplies Paris, dispatched dur
ing the month daily average of 5044
oxen, 1041 COWS. 1884 sheep, 1925
pigs, and 2099 calves. This compares
as follows with the average daily re-
quirement at ordinary times: Paris
eats then 1910 oxen, 450 cows, 1929
sheep, 1898 pigs, and 1425 calves.
But, of course, it would be impossible
for France alone to supply the stom-
ach of Paris with meat. Germany,
Austria, England, and even Russia
send cattle supplies to the French mar
ket-Westminster Gazette.

AUTOMATIC POST OFFICE.


Public Places.
The very latest thing in penny-in-
the-slot machines, says the London
Graphic, is an automatic post office,
and in few weeks time the machines
will be at work at railway stations,
restaurants and the larger shops in
London. The automatic postofIice
does not fulfill quite all the duties of
the usual official, but on receipt of a
penny it will do some of the work with
neatness and despatch. If you ask
it for half-a-crown's worth of penny
stamps it will not look bored and con-
tinue its conversation with a much
nicer young man than yourself,
neither will it eat chocolates, nor wear
other machine. Suppose, for instance,
that a machine is at Charing Cross,
and that you have promised to meet
someone at that station at 10 o'clock.
You find at the last moment that you
cannot keep the appointment, so You
wire to your friend, care of "Automat-
les" Charing Cross. The telegraph
boy drops the telegram in a slit in the
machine; the slit has glass front,
and therefore, after your friend has
formed his opinion of you for not keep
ing the appointment, he goes to the
machine, sees his telegram, puts in
penny, presses a knob and gets your
message. Perhaps the message is:
See you 12-leaye reply machine"
Your friend then puts in another
penny, takes out sheet of note paper,
an envelope and pencil, and leaves
you your reply in another little glass
frontcd slit in the machine. Each ma
chine will hold about three dozen let
ters at time. kilograms left in the
machine and not called for in two
days will be sent back to the postof-
flee, and other letters will be taken
care of by the company owning the
machine. If, however, you have left
a message in the box and you wish
to have it returned to you if it is not
called for. you can scribble a note
to that effect to the company and
leave it in box provided for the pur-
pose.
There Is no doubt that when we do
get the automatic postohices we shall
wonder how we ever managed to do
without them. Take the case of man
and his wife who come to town one
morning-the man for business, his
wife for a round of shopping. They
wish to meet in the evening for din
ner and theatre. At present the ar
rangement for that meeting would
have to be made early in the day, and
perhaps the man finds his business
prevents him from keeping the ap-
pointment When the new machines
come into use that man will telegraph
to fis wife, care "Automatics," at one
OF the shops she is visiting.
1t will also be possible to communi-
cate with man who is travelling.
Telegrams sent to "Automatics" at the
stations his train stops at would be
ready for him on his arrival. He
would know just where to so for them,
and would he able to get them easily
and quickly. Indeed. there seems to
be no end to the uses to which the
automatic poste restante will be put.

According to the New York )ournal
of Commerce a New York firm has
made tests to ascertain the compara-
tive citric values of California and
Sicily lemons. The following is the re-
suit:
Ninety-one and one-half California
lemons would yield one United States
gallon of Juice.
One hundred and twenty-eight and
one-half Mediterranean lemons would
yield one United States gallon Of
juice.
The specific gravity of the juice in
each was 1.041.
Three hundEsd California lemons
would yield 45O ounces, avoirdupois,
juice, containing 1854 ounces, avoirdu-
pois, crystal citric acid
Three hundred Mediterranean lem
ons would yield 1926 ounces, avoirdu-
pois, juice, containing 1870 ounces,
avoirdupois, crystal citric acid.
The value of this test has been ques-
toned by the importers, who claimed
that it was unfair, in that it compared
Mediterranean fruit, which was among
the first of the season, and which had
not matured, with California fruit at
its best stage.

The common. cheap and criminal
way of preserving milk is by the addi
tion of injurious chemicals. Steriliz-
ing by means of subjecting to neat has
long been known and practiced. \
new method has just been found,
namely, subjecting to a high pres
sure. A German chemist has been
experimenting with the following re-
suits: Milk which was subjected to
a pressure of nearly 100000 pounds

A new kind of lightning-arreste
has been attracting attention in Europe.
1t is designed for the purpose of pre-
venting accidents occurring on trolley
cars from sudden discharges OF atmos-
pheric electricity in districts crossed
by extensive networks of electric wire.
common form of accident resulting
in injury to the instruments and some-
times loss of life. The intent OF the
new system is to prevent the flash
system, or, if this should take place. to
insure that the current is invariably
DETECTED so that no harm can result.
The system has been introduced in a
number of cars of the BeTlin-Charlot-
tenburg Electric railway in Germany,
and so-called "horn arresters" are at
tached to the upper part of the car in
the same way as the trolley. A num-
ber of these instruments have also
been placed at certain intervals along
the line, fixed on the top of the orna-
mental iron posts that carry the con-
Quoting wire of the railway. The first
cars on which the system was tried
worked so well that the lishtningar-
resters have been generally adopted
In some instances the horn arresters'
have been applied in the form Of a Sec
ond trolley, and in others they have
been installed on the roof of the car
IN connection with the TROLLEY itself.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

A German scientist recently declared
that the age of fishes can be told by
their scales. When placed under the
microscope these show stripes similar
to the bands in the cross section Of a
tree, which indicate the age Of the fish.
The communal council of Amster-
dam, Holland, has voted $2O00,00O for
tho construction Of an electrical power
plant, to include a central power sta
ton, so miles of tramWay, the electric
lighting OF the city and a supply of
motive power. The power will be con-
Yeyed in an underground conduit.
From the following analysis it would
appear that there is even less waste in
a cord of pitch pine wood than in the
carcass of q steer under the modern
way of handling it. Under proper
manipulation a cord of this wood will
produce of charcoal, so bushels; illu-
minating gas, about 1000 cubic feet
Illuminating oil and tar, so gallons;
pitch or rosin, 12 barrels; pyroligne-
GUS acid, 100 gallons; spirits of tur-
pontine, 20 gallons; tar, one barrel;
wood spirits, five gallons; and, so far
as the charcoal is concerned, when con-
sumed it scarcely leaves an ash.
The advantage of the use of nickel
steel in the construction of instru-
ments of precision was the subject of
a paper read before the recent Paris
congress of the international Geodetic
association. 1t was stated that a GER
tain alloy, with 35 to Sc percent nickel,
possessed an expansion 10 times less
than platinum and 20 times less than
that of brass. This property renders
1t especially serviceable for measuring
rods. description was given of
''base bar" of this metal, four metres
in length, which is being constructed
for the geographic service of the
French army. Including its alumni
mum case, it will weigh 110 pounds.
A great family of towering animals
is that including the sea cucumbers.'
These animals have long, fattened
bodies of dark color that ranges from
brown to reddish purple, and their
most active movement is a slow, creep
ing along the bottom. At one end is
the mouth surrounded by the petal
like tentaces that push into it the
mud and sand on which the organism
lives. The mud of the bottom is filled
with tiny beings that really furnish the
food, but it appears to subsist on the
inorganic mud itself. The most Curl
Gus thing about the cucumber" is that
it takes dodgers in a way. 1t has a
large cavity within it's body that is
filled with water. and into this cavity
a little fish called the fierasfer works
its way, and then lives within the help,
less host. 1t is not parasite, for it
leaves its lodging to seek food but it
merely lodges in the holothurian for
shelter, as the power of stinging that
sea cucumbers possess to a high degree
renders them fairly safe from moles-
tation. The little dodgers do not seem
to do any harm to their landlords ex-
cept when several take quarters in the
same one, and they may innict fatal
damage by overcrowding.

NOVELTY.
New Jail OnlyOne
Of Its Kind.
Conveniently Arranged
and ImpresnabIe.
Plenty of Air and Light
For Prisoners.
Plans Commended by State
Board of Charities.

Prisoners in the new Summit county
jail, when it is complete will have a
temporary home second to none of It's
Kind in the United States. Each pris.
oncr will be able 10 see out and find
out just what the outside world and
the free air is like, and will have a
window that can be opened without
Il chance Of his getting away. These
windows all open on central court
and are the inlets for the light that
feeds the entire interior of the jail, ac-
cording to the plans now being finish
ed by Architect +. o. Weary. The
central inner court will have no roof
and will enable the prisoners to have
the air as well as the light.
Between the captive and the actual
court will be two screens, besides the
window, which can be opened or shut
by the guard or deputy without the
possibility of interference by the pris-
oner.
ers may all take the air at the same
time, from their windows, and yet no
one of them will be able to see any
other who is in captivity at the same
time.
On the third floor will be n double row
of larger cells than those on the other
two floors. These will be reserved for
women, prisoners detained for minor
offenses, or any persons whom the
Sheriff may not wish to have among
the rows Of cells reserved for more
desperate characters.
The Jail will have n normal capacity
of 36 cells. Provision is made for a
hospital, baths. toilets, wash bowls,
places for washing clothes and will be
model of foresight and convenience.
Tho interior is arranged so that es-
cape will be apparently impossible
and the outer walls are so planned
that the place will be fortress. Tow
ers at the corners enable enfilading
each side. Port holes for guards or
soldiers. If necessary. are arranged
and it is safe to say that repetition
of last years performance would be
successful at the new jail only after
a protracted siege.
The plans have the warm endorse
ment Of the State Board of Charities.
