commanding the marine guard Of tho
vessel, and Ensign Clarence A. Adele
Immediately flooded tho turrct with
water and Lieut.. Chas. r. Hughes and

delen and the Dock.

There was young woman named
Helen Gould. She was fabulously
rich, VIGOROUSLY unmarried, tenderly
big hearted, famously generous,
nobty patriotic and Thoroughly Amer
lean. She was called 'the woman
with $4,000 admirers" and the phrase
only included railroad men. There
were, at least, 100000 more.
There was also little foreign two
for-a-cent nobleman, and his name
was the Duke de LOOK ct Coswarem.
AS anyone could guess from his name
he didn't have any money. So he be-
sought him of an easy and approved
way of remedying that difficulty; he
would marry an American heiress.
All he had to do was to visit the land
of the free and the home of the brave
and the richest and fairest would fall
at his feet. This was his view of the
matter. And his attention was called
to Helen Gould.
He mentioned the matter to his at
torneys, and they were delighted.
They saw a prospect of being able to
collect some of their fees. And they
helped things along by circulating a
report as to the object of Dook-d de-
LOOKS quest. 1t got into the papers
and as soon as the Dock saw it in cold
print he considered it good as settled.
So he began referring to Miss Gould as
"my intended bride and "the future
duchess de, etc."
Note well, the noble lord had not
yet brooched the subject to the lady
herself. That was little formality
he would attend to later. And of
course it was nothing more than
formality, for how could an American
heiress refuse him? 1t was unthink-
able-so he gave it no thought. And
after while Miss Gould began to hear
the surprising news that she was be-
trothed to an Edition de Luxe.
Then she saw it in print and Won
dered if it could be true. She trowed
not. So she took her little gold pen
in hand and she wrote the following
notice, which appeared in the papers,
next to pure reading matter, without
ad marks, that evening:
There is absolutely no truth in the
story that Miss Helen Gould is en-
gagged to marry foreigner. She is
very much surprised at such report
She does not even known the Duke de

HELEN GOULD.
What shock of grief and surprise
this must have been to the Dock de

Hurrah for Helen! She is now the
woman of sc, 100000 admirers. Every
American will want to shake hands
with her. She has only done what
any American girl with American
sense would have done, but sh, has
done it well. And it is with thrill of
genuine satisfaction that the public
views the spectacle of this impertinent
foreign puppy going back home with

Origin of Wood Engraving.

Much controversy was at one time
excited about the country that could
claim to have originated wood engrav-
ing. A very simple process was known
to the Egyptians for the productions OF
stamps. and it has been asserted that
the Chinese printed from blocks OF pear
tree as early as the tenth century The
independent origin OF the art has been
generally credited to Germany among
modern nations. In the Cologne dis
trict a St. Christopher, which has often
been reproduced, was cut in 1923, St.
Sebastian in 1887 and a Madonna has
been dated 1913.
Playing cards were, however, in use
in France in the middle of the four
teenth century. and the figures were
impressions from wood blocks. 1t is
allowable for France to dispute the pri-
ority OF Germany, and many attempts
have been made to claim the art as due
to French enterprise. NJ. Henri Bou-
chot, OF the Bibliotheque- Rationale,
now declares that part OF block with
a representation of a crucifiXion has
been discovered in a country town OF
France. The costumes are evidently
those worn in the middle OF the four
teenth century, and it is assumed that
the wood block belongs to some time
between 1910 and I35o-Scientihc
American.

The Biography of a Bone.

The chief product from bones is glue.
and among other materials which are
obtained from them are soap, glycerine
and fertilizers. Nothing is wasted
After being carefully culled over by
workmen and broken by crushers, they
are soaked in a weak solution OF sui
phuric acid From the soaking tanks
the bones emerge white and apparently
perfectly clean.
They are then placed in steam tanks.
where, after being subjected to pres.
sure of steam Tor several hours, a spi,
got is opened at the bottom of the di-
gcster and the liquid glue is drawn off
The grease OF the bones, being lighter,
is drawn off last and separated from
the first product. The liquid glue is
evaporated to a strength of IS per cent.
gelatine, a portion OF which is per
mitted to harden for commercial use, as
glue, and part is refined and sold for
gelatine for table use.
The grease is drawn off into cooling
tanks, where, in its crude state, it is
made into securing soaps. By a pro-
cess of refining and the admixture OF
vegetable oils and perfumes, toilet
soaps are produced. The spent liquors
which are run off from the boiling soap
are utilized for the manufacture Of gly-
cerine The bones which are taken out
OF the digesters are ground up for fer
tilizing purposes, and the dirty water
in which they are cleansed is boiled
down and made into manure.
