Rockport, Mass, Aug. 22.-In the
afternoon the weather conditions again
were changeable. At 3 o'clock the fog
deserted Rockport and passed far out
beyond the battleships. hanging away
in the east more in the form of smoke.
From .Straitsmouth Point the trio Of
warships could be discerned very
plainly. Then suddenly it seemed as
if the bank of fog was engaged in a
race to the coastline again. The bat
tleships could now no longer signal
each other. and the stations on Pigeon
Hill and Straitsmouth were rendered
for the time being out OF action.
During the time that the fog pre-
vailed the steel fighters remained mo-

Higginson and his cO-workers was the
danger in navigating their vessels

concerned himself with the more con-

THE PIN ORGAN.
A Musical Instrument That Any Girl
or. Boy Can Make.

A Musical Instrument That Any Girl
or Boy Can Make.
No doubt many of our readers are
accomplished musicians and play beau
tifully on the piano, violin, banjo or
other musical instrument. OF course
almost all of our little friends can sing
| and do sing, too, at school and Sunday
school, and we feel sure that they are
all very fond of music. Many Of
them, while very fond of instrumental
music of different kinds, have 70
chance to play on any instrument.
Here is an instrument which you
can all make and which, while it will
not be very elaborate one or a rival
to your mammals piano or the church
organ, will give you lots of pleasure
and sense of satisfaction at having
your own self made something that
will really play tunes when you wish
to render an instrumental selection.
Besides this, it will greatly develop
your ear for music and so be of lasting
benefit to you.
Take a soft pine board about three
feet long and one foot wide and make
q heavy line down the center in lead
pencil. Get a box of large pins and Il
light hammer, and your equipment is
complete. Drive the pins in the board
along the line down the center, having
the pins about one-quarter of an inch
apart. When the line is full of pins.
you are ready to tune your organ.
Take long pima hatpin, for In
stance-and with its point bend slight
ly the first pin on the line. Then let it
fly back, and you will find that it will
give out distinct musical note. Now
you must decide what tune you want
to play on your organ. When you
have selected your tune, you can go
ahead.
The farther the pin is driven into the
board the higher the note it will give
out when touched by the hatpin. You
must rely on your ear in driving the
pin various distances into the board
trying each one after each few taps of
the hammer. You will find it better
to drive the first pin half way into the
wood. for as some of the notes you will
want will be very low it will be neccs-
sary to have some of the pins driven
in but very little way.
J When you have finished, you can
play tune by simply drawing your
hatpin along the line of pins. You
can pick out other pieces easily enough
after you have become accustomed 10
the various notes the pins make when
struck, and with a little practice you
can play almost any simple melody on
! your pin organ.-New York Herald.

more fond of his own company and
often builds his nest in the grass away
from the water and not af~axs in The

The bird that Roy and his father
were watching must have found great
fun in his bath, for he kept up his
splattering and fluttering for some
minutes. At last he turned and stepped
laZily out of the water.
The clouds which a short time ago
bad looked so golden now darkened
and spread rapidly over the sky. 1t
was plain that the thunderstorm
which had threatened now and again
during the afternoon was to have it's
way in spite Of the short triumph Of
the sun at its setting.
"But hasn't peetweet a nest and fam
lily to go to-" asked Roy as his father
glanced apprehensively at the sky and
then at the bird, who was standing mo-
tionless about six inches from the wa

He is going to sleep just where he is,
tonight at any rate" said Mr.. Hartwell.
That is quite clear" The sandpiper
was standing with his back to the wa
ter. Gradually his body seemed to in
cline forward, and he drew his head
and neck in toward his shoulders.
They watched him in this crouching
position till the first pattering drops of
rain began to fall. At once the two be-
lated sportsmen seized their oars and
sped over the stretch of water to their
little camp. Roy did not mind his wet
ting, for he felt that he had found a
new friend in the sandpiper. and he
determined to try to become better ac-
quainted with him another day.-New

WHEN HE WAS A BOY.
James WhitcOmb Riley's Little Story
of His Childhood.

OF His Childhood.
James Whitcomb Riley, the Hooser
poet, tells in the Indianapolis News of
his boyhood. He says:
81 recollect distinctly when l was a
small boy and from choice spent much
of my time in the kitchen rolling dough
and making miniature pies. After
awhile, through the obliging assistance
of the hired girl, | advanced so that l
could build pie of legitimate size. My
joy was complete when | actually fash
Toned custard pie. and then came the
feat, worthy of sleight of hand per-
former, of getting it into the oven
without spilling. You may gather from
this that my first ambition was to be a
baker, and at times | have felt a
twinge of disappointment that my jul
venile ambition was not realized. l
really think | would have been sue
cess as baker.
"Where did | go to school? | was not
a success in attending school. | had
somewhat of record for running
away from school. and succeeded in
but one study in distinguishing myself
above my school fellows. That was
reading in McGuffey's readers, which
gave me my first delights of literature.
was a sensitive child, but no one ever
thought me so. and | received no con-
sideration on that account and man
aged to be in hot water most of the
time. At school if read anything pa
thetic, like Dickens death of Little
Nell, while | had the best lesson, |
would spoil it by too much weeping. If
| was whipped by the teacher-we call
ed it licked in those days-on coming
home with red eyes l would receive
parental logging because the teacher
had licked me. Consequently | have
superabundance of sympathy for chill
dren.
children in the country and in small
towns have a self reliance and power
of invention. an adaptation of the re-
sources of their surroundings. that of
ten make them stronger intellectually
than city bred children. They have few
paid for amusements, and all the fewer
because Of lack of money to pay for
them. So they are thrown upon their
own resources to furnish amusements
for themselves. | have walked four
miles in the country to where | knew
there was a whirling jenny. a whirinS
jenny is made by saving off sapling
about four feet from the ground. The
core of the tree is left sticking up to
form peg, and hole to tit the peg
is bored in the middle of long and
heavy plank. This plank is placed
across the stump, a boy running at
each end of the plank, and away they
go! 1t takes repeated doses of soap
grease to make the jenny get around
with the desired speed.
"When | was boy, there were few
feuds between town boys and country
boys. and when they exchanged visits
each could introduce the other to diff
| ferent series of delights. | do not sup
pose there are many boys today who
have, as in my time, scrambled eggs
and cooked them on brown paper atop
of the stove in the old schoolhouse.
