An Ingenious Sounding Device.

An ingenious sounding device now
being constructed in Baltimore is de-
signed for the purpose Of determining
the depth Of water along the coast and
shore lines. and to delineate upon pa
per the exact shape or contour of the
bottom. The device is the inventiopsof
G. A. Thompson, former naval officer.
There are three parts. An arm rotat-
ing vertically upon an axle is pivoted
to the side of the vessel clear of the
water. the free end of the arm termin-
ating in q metal shoe which drags
along the bottom. Connected with the
arm by a piano wire with several
turns around its periphery is small
drum When the line of soundings is tc
he started the arm is lowered until the
shoe touches the bottom. The rotation
of the arm on its axis causes a strain
on the piano wire which revolves the
drum and turns the gear wheel, the
pointer being carried around the face
of the dial: the cam moves the rod
which carries the pencil transversely
over the paper and records the varia-
tions in depth. -.-..--------..~

The Dublin papers announce the ap-
preaching sale Of the valuable farm of
Tara, in the county Meath, which in
cludes the far-famed hill with its his
toric monuments-the relics of the
"Tara's Halls" of Moore's melody. On
the farm are situated the ruins Of the
ancient banqueting hall, the kings
chair, the old coronation chair Of an
cient Erin, and the celebrated Lila Fall
or Stone Of Destiny, which is, accord
ing to Irish antiquarlans. enormously
stated to be under the coronation chair
at Westminster. Tara was the scene
of an engagement between the forces oi
the crown and the insurgents in the
rebellion of 1898, and the grave In
which the rebels who fell were inferred
on the slope of the hill is known as
"The CrOppies' Grave"

Diseased Dreams.

II Is a we'll recognized fact among
,lienists and psychologists that there
IL a close resemblance between ordi-
nary dreaming and the waking delu-
,;ons of insanity. Indeed. It Is be-
lieved by some physicians that dreams
NAV have an important significance
in indicating the early stages OF GER
lain forms Of insanity. Cftentin!es the
,o-called absent-minded people, the
aav-dreamers, so gradually drift into
, mental condition in which they con-
fuse their fantastic reveries With TIE
actual occurrences Of daily lff'. and
finally come to live in the typical sub
iectiye world OF shadows ard uEreali
t'es of the insane, that thcir nenta
breakdown is not comprehehded until
it is complete.

milan Prairie Dog Hunts.

The Navajo Indian. while he cannot
he prevailed upon to eat a rabbit. Is
greedily fond of fat prairie dogs.
Large communities of these small AMI
mails abound on the western plains,
and the Navajo has resorted to many
ingenious methods for trapping his
coveted dainty. One Of them is by the
aid of bit of mirror placed at the en-
trance to a burfow. When the animal
ventures from his bedroom, deep un-
der ground, he sees a familiar image
mocking him at the front door, and
he hurries out to confront the impu-
dent intruder, when he Is pinned to
the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method is
what the Indians call the rain hunt.
As soon as the steady downrour OF
summer rains begins every Navajo
who can walk repairs to the prairie
dog village with hoes. sharp sticks or
any digging implement With these
they hollow out trenches that will
lead the storm water into as many
burrows as possible. Soon a little
stream is pouring down each small
home. and the inmate. much disturbed
mons out to see what the matter can
be- Many of the animals remain uR-
derground until they are drowned.
and their bodies float to the surface
After such a hunt, in which many
mounds OF prairie dogs are generally
secured. there is a feast for many days
in the Navajo huts.

Mr.. Charles Whymper, the we'll
known engraver and animal painter.
told the following anecdote few
years ago: Il dined at Mr.. So-and-
Sos at Highgate last night, and as a
mark of honor his eldest daughter was
assigned to me to take down to din
nor. She's a bright girl, and I got
along very nicely with her and Lady
Bletherington on the other side. until
the ladies were on the eve of retiring
to the drawing room. I was talking
about the beautiful scenery near the
house, the views from the windows,
the fine air, when Miss sud-
denly said. I think get prettier every
day-dont your What could she
mean? 1 did not dare to answer her,
30 said. I beg your pardon. What
did you say?' I said think I get
prettier every day. There was no
mistaking her words, SO I answered,
Yes, indeed, you get prettier; and no
wonder, in such fresh air, and'-just
then she caught her mothers eye, and
with the other ladies, she left the
room. AS she went out she looked
over her shoulder with such wither
ing scorn in her eyes that knew had
put my foot In It somehow. Then II
flashed upon me that I had misunder
stood her; she had dropped an 'h. ,
What she had said was not silly com
pliment to herself; the sentence real
ly was, I think Highgate prettiel

quite gray now.-Chamber's Journal.

Time the inspector returned and again
checked the Office Berybud was as quiet
ana courteous as ever. Again the in
spcctor found an Office shortage in
cash and again was referred to the big
safe In the real estate Office. AS be-
fore he visited 1t after lunch, with
Berybud,. and there was found s25oo
the amount short AS soon as It was
counted the inspector left the Office and
walked direct to the postoffice, where
he Instantly took charge of the cash
again, and by quick computation
found 1t still $500 short. Berybud was
with him all this time. The inspector
looked up at him inquiringly. Berry
bud softly whispered:
Come into my private office"
The two men walked in, and Berry,
bud shut the door and gently locked
it. He took chair and sat down IN
front OF the inspector. Then he said:
Il knew this had to come out. I
can't make the money good. l took
1t. Just get me out of town without
the family knowing until I'm gone
what's up. You can see my bondsmen
later"
The man was SO self-possessed, so
unmoved, that the inspector looked at
him In amazement. But that feeling
changed to another when he saw slow
ly stealing out Of one of Berybud's s
eyes tear and his lips were quivering.
"Old man." said the inspector with
tenderness he never had shown :.
culprit before. there's something
wrong here. You haven't told me all.
Come, now, have to do my duty, but
you are holding back something"
Il took the money" repeated Berry
bud.
But why? You are rich-you had
no need for It. You are not telling
me the truth"
Il took the money" was the only re-
ply. And Jacob Berybud held to that
through all the days of his disgrace,
during his short trial and until the
prison doors closed on him and he be-
gan to serve his sentence. Sloan be-
lieved him, although it could not ex-
plain why he took the money. His
bondsmen believed him; his children
believed him and turned their faces
from him. AS for his wife
Long after Jacob Berybud was freed
from prison and had taken up life
alone in a town far removed from ST.
loan and the family. which, wife and
all, had refused to receive him again,
he met by chance his old friend, the
inspector, and they clasped hands.
'"Berybud." said the inspector, u
know now that your wife took that
money; that you were poor man then
and she was forcing you to live far be-
yond your means. She entered thai
office nights, and you suspected her Il
you did not know that she was guilty
She robbed the till and the old safe
and you made good the shortages unit!
finally you were forced to try and de-
ceive me. She spent every dollar OF
herself and her favorite children ane

She never loved you and your married
life was worse than purgatory."
