he took an armful of corn and dumped
it in the stove. Corn was 10 cents a

"Boiler explosions are the terror of
the seafaring man." said an old time
deep water captain "Such a thing is
bad enough on dry land, out imagine a
catastrophe of that kind at sea. In
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it
means the absolute wiping out of the
craft itself and every soul on board.
"The average landsman would be
greatly shocked in looking over the
maritime records to see how many ves-
sells disappear each year and leave
absolutely no clew to their fate. They
run well up to the hundred mark, and
such a mystery is not to be explained
away by storms. A Chinese typboon
may swoop down like lightning out Of
clear sky and tear a ship to pieces,
but some floating wreckage is sure to
tell the tale a boiler explosion, on the
contrary, will blow a hole as big as
railroad tunnel right through the center
of the hull, and the stricken vessel
simply goes down like a shot. There
is no time to unfasten a boat from the
davits or cut loose a spar.
'In the opinion of seamen. that is
the story of at least 90 per cent of the
ships that leave port and are never
heard Of again. Luckily the modern
system OF marine boiler inspection
is extremely strict and thorough, bus It
is impossible to absolutely prevent
carelessness and fraud, and often
enough, no doubt. the fault lies with
the engineer
'There is an old story of a drunken
Scotchman who mistook the ther-
mometer for the steam gage and 'cuss-
ed out the stollers because he couldn't
get the pressure above so. That yarn
win hardly hold water, but I've seen
cases almost as bad. l am glad to say.
however, that during the past 10 years
there has been steady diminution OF
the number of vessels which 'mys.
teriously disappear That is due, be-
yond all question, to the increased
stringency of boiler inspection and the
greater strictness Of examinations be.

Speaking of the late William Travers
leads me to remark that, so far as
am personally aware, only one of the
classic suffering stories about him is
actually true. had the honor and
happiness to reside at Newport for
year or so once, and at the time Mr.
Travers was n summer resident there.
He certainly suffered a good deal, but
he did not 60 around habitually dis
charging staccato witticisms at the
world, as you might suppose he did
from all the stories you hear. But the
one story that I know about is this
one:
Travers was at garden party one
afternoon when a young lady said to
him, "What time is it, please, Mr..
Travers?'
Travers took out his watch, wabbled
his mouth awhile, blinked and finally
said. 'Itn be s-s-s-s-six o'c-c-c-c-clock

"In cleverness, address and adapta-

even ranks with the trained experts Of
the European diplomatic corps. 1t IS
essential that he should be a man Of

all kinds Of people on equal terms. He
has no fixed abode, but lives in va

The printer,s neriI.

The familiar term printers devil"
as applied to the boy of all work about
a printing office, is said by the Fourth
Estate to have originated with Aldus
Manutius He employed a small negro
boy, a curiosity in those days in Eu-
rope, who became known as the "Lit-
tie Black Devil" Printing was then
mystery, and superstition spread that
Aldus was invoking the black art and
that the negro boy was the embodi-
ment of Satan. To correct this opinion
Aldus publicly exhibited the black boy
and declared: "Be it known to Venice
that l. Aldus Manutlus. printer to the
holy church and to the doge, have this
day made public exposure Of the print
er's devil All those who think he is
not flesh and blood may come and
