An Artist.

In a recent write-up of a fine art dis
play at Neenah, The news of that city
says as follows of pen drawing by
Miss Pearl Eaton, daughter, daughte r
of Frank M. Eaton and wife of this
city:
Miss Eaton is working along another
line of art during the time not taken
up with her duties as teacher in the
kindergarten of the Second ward school.
Pen drawings are her particular delight
and her subjects are full of pleasingly
natural expression. One of her latest
efforts is a picture Of the '.Gibson
Girl" which is very! clever. Every
feature of that famous girl is delicate
and artistically outlined and the pic
ture displays the hand of az artist
of much promise.

AUTOMOBILE SEA SCOUTS.
A Suggestion Which Might Be Adopt
ed by Naval Powers to Their
Advantage.

As military motor-bicycles have al
ready proved themselves to be OF
value in scouting, it is probable that
TN nearly every civilized country they
will be largely used in future land
warfare. Why, if the fast land scout
prove SO useful, should not the navy
adopt the same methods? A boat, 60
feet long, with two 25-horse power
engines, built very light, to carry, say,
four persons and to be capable of con-
siderable speed, would be a most use
full addition to battleship of fleet,
says the London Star. The ordinary
torpedo boat is too long and draws too
much water for scouting near shore or
in shallow water, but launch might
be made to draw less than three feet
Of water, and yet have speed of up
wards of 30 knots. There would be no
tunnels or smoke to attract the notice
OF the enemy, and with underwater
exhaust the boat might be made al
most silent. If built low in the water,
or with the power of semi-submersion,
1T would be difficult to hit. Probably
such a craft would be more useful
than anything yet invented in the wa,
OF a scout for sea purposes.

SEEK A LOST SHIPS GOLD.
Americas Adventurers on a Hazard
GUS Neet New Zea1and's
Coast

An American schooner lately ar
rived in New Zealand with a party
who propose to search for 1ong-lost
treasure. Nearly 40 years have passed
since the ship General Grant Left Aus
tralia for London with cargo of gold
and wool. At one of the Auckland is
lands, near New Zealand, she met with
3 frightful fate. She was sucked into
a sort of colossal cave, but tits possible
she might have got out if a huge wave
had not lifted her SO high that the
masts, striking the roof, were driven
through her bottom. Through the
openings thus made the water rushed
in and she speedily sank. Only one
sailor and two children were saved.
After some months on the island
they were picked up by passing
steamer and taken to New Zealand.
Several attempts have been made to
recover the large quantity of gold
that went down in the General Grant,
but they were all failures. It remains
to be seen whether the American ad-
venturers will be more successful. If
they should recover the gold is it their
property? That seems a nice legal
point.

DETECT THE MINT THIEVES.
Japanese Use the X-Rays to Catch
Employees Who Conceal Coins in
Their Stomachs.

A firm in Philadelphia has recently
sold to the Japanese government one
of their X-ray machines FOR a novel
purpose, reports the New York Post.
The Representatives of Japan who
placed the order said that in the
governmental mints a great many
gold dollars are coined and there has
been considerable loss through dis
honest employees swallowing the small
coins and thus taking them out Of
the mints. There has been no way
of preventing this until a clever Off
eial suggested the use of the X-rays,
and the machine was ordered at
once.
1t is not proposed to put every en-
ploye to the test when leaving the
mints, but he will be searched by cleo
tricity from time to time, unexpect-
edly, and any one of the employees
may be called up at any time to un-
dergo the test. It is believed that
the fear Of detection will prevent the
stealing, at least in the form now
used. 1t is suggested that machine
might be used with profit in the
South African diamond fields to mako
the black laborers honest. The field
for X-rays in this direction seems to
be large.

ALL GIVE HIM THE ROAD.
One Driver for Whom Every Other
Teamster on the City's Streets
Quickly Makes Way.

Perennial in it's power of attraction
is the fire engine dashing along the
city's streets on the way to a. fire, and
it fascinates all. And every driver and
every motorman, every man handling
anything on wheels gives the fireman
the right of way and he does so spon-
taneously and gladly, says the New
York Sun.
And often many drivers hold up all
at once to give the driver of the fire
engine his choice of ways, as they
would where two streets cross, and
they do this before they see the en-
gine at all. But they know it's coming
and they hear it's whistle
Here was an engine coming along a
cross street to Broadway, whistle a
calling. At the first note of it every
motorman or driver who chanced at
the moment to be near the junction of
Broadway and this street stopped
short, leaving the central space unoc-
cupied- and leaving clear channels
away from it in every direction.
None of these drivers could know
which way the fire driver would want
to turn when he got to the corner, so
they all stopped, to give him a free
road in whichever way he wanted to
go and when he had come and gone
dashing round the corner they all
started up again on their several ways.
But SO far as they could they had given
the whole earth to him.

AN ARISTOCRATIC TUBER.
The Variety Known as "'The North
ern Star' LIS One of the Fairy
Tales of Finance.

The romance of potatoes is but inn
perfectly understood by the majority
of those who eat them every day.
Nor do they usually occur to the
speculator as basis of operation
Yet the history of the variety known
Rs '"The Northern Star" is one of
the fairy tales of finance. It was
brought out last year, says a Lon
don paper, by grower IL Markinch,
in Fifeshire, who parted with a few
tons at the extraordinary price of
6 1,210 a ton. To this rate, which
works out at about ten shillings a
pound, he religiously adhered. At
this rate two pounds were purchased
by firm of dealers belonging to
Bardney, near Lincoln. From these
two pounds they have this year
grown 13O pounds, and are SO pleased
with the result that they have
bought quantity more at the rate
of 6 500 ton. Two other growers,
Mr.. Kline, of Manham-le-Fen, and
Mr.. Blades, of Epworth, purchased a
ton at the same figure, and have
paid more for subsequent consign-
ments. After this the story of the
King Edward VII. potato, which be-
gan to sell at 6 IL los. ton and
rose to $40, seems quite tame,
though it would have been sufficient
ly remarkable under any other cir
cumstances.

Fish as SURGEONS.

"Along the Caribbean sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, sit is a common thing to
see men and women and children sit
ting on the banks of streams with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
They have strange reason for this
strange conduct. They are much
troubled by a little insect-a kind of
tick-which buries itself in their flesh,
and is very hard to dislodge; and SO,
when the ticks have got in them they
go to the water, bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have a fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see, and,
pulling the ticks out, devour them. In
that manner in the Caribs fish are
called upon to act as surgeons. Eff
cient and painless surgeons they
make, too.''
