THE FIRST STEAMBOAT.

II is generally known that the first
steam driven vessel 10 cross the At-
lantic was built in Canada. The infOr-
nation is not so general, however,
that the same craft was later convert
ed into a cruiser and was the first
steamship engaged in actual war. The
ship was the Royal William. She was
built at the Cove, Quebec in the win
ter of 1S30-3l, ana during the season OF
1899 SO piled between Quebec and Hal.
flax In the latter season she was sent
to London and there chartered by the
Portuguese Government TO transport
troops intended for service of the late
Don Pedro to Brazil. Returning 10
London she was sold to the Spanish
Government, and by them converted
into cruiser and employed against
Don Carlos in the civil war of 1886.
thus being the first steamer to fire a
hostile shot.

THE WAY OF THE AnyENTuRER.

THE WAY OF THE AIpTENTCRER
\ heroic attempt to have vacation
at any cost was made by certain boy.
whose experience is related in Chums.
He Joined n circus with the intention
of becoming a lion tanner. but there
was no vacancy in that department.
and before he made up his mind what
else he would like TO do. the circus
people worked him in as tent man"
He had To help put up and take down
the great tents NJ each stopping place.
Incidentally he worked all the rest OF
the time at odd jobs. The circus men.
in fact. found him so useful that they
locked him up in an empty leopard
cage each night in order that. after
having been kept AZ work all day by a
ropes end he might not have 4 chance
TO abandon his circus career after dark.
Ultimately, the boy hid for twenty-four
hours in disused lime Kiln in one OF
the towns he visited, and finished his
outing by giving himself up 10 the po-
lice authorities in order 10 he sent
home.
Not long ago an American boy.
thinking that a vacation spent on his
uncle's farm was likely to be without
adventure. slowed himself away and
iourneyed a long distance on the buf-
fers OF q freight train. He thought he
had done rather a fine thing. but the
railway people held n different opinion.
ITS our turn now" they said.
Then they explained TO him that 70
send him back again would cost So.
and he already owed them S3 for the
trip down. So he was taken TO the ma
chine shops and directed 10 earn So hy

was deputed TO keep a fatherly eye or
him after hours.
The new hand managed 20 write 10
his people. but. very wisely. they
agreed that 10 serve his time" might
teach him useful lesson. so they paid
no ransom. Ii took the boy nearly
three weeks TO file his way TO liberty.
At Continental harbor. in which n
submarine war vessel was undergoing
tests. a third young adventurer was
smitten with n desire 10 become a

begging one Of the crew whom he
knew. TO smuggle him on board At
last. after n quiet little talk with the
boys father. the sailor consented.
In the dusk Of the evening the boy
arrived at the meeting place appointed
close to the sea. We must blindfold
you" said the sailor. This was done.
and then the boy was led about here
and there for some time. between two
grinning mariners. and watched by
grinning parent When he was thor
oughly dared he was pushed into mar.

despair. "can interest a house-keeper

gently, and the goblet viii stock 10
IL and rise from the table clinging 20
your palm.
Would you like 70 know the reason?
Because, by exhausting some Of the
air in the upper part OF the goblet. be-
tween the water and the rim, you have
made the air pressure lighter there
than IL is outside, and the outside pres
sure bearing on your hand and the
goblet, keeps them together.
1t is exactly the same principle that
enables you TO lift brick with a wet
leather sucker. You press the sucker
down hard on the brick with your
foot, and that drives the air from he
tween them; then lift the sucker by its
string and the brick comes up with
IL because the outside air keeps them
from separating. ng.-BrOoklyn Eagle.

the sailor.
The boy waited-for hours, IL seemed
10 him-hardly daring 10 breathe. bat
trying 10 think. he was having a great
time. Then he took of the bandage;
he was in total darkness. More hours
went by. and no one came back for
him. He was now not only hungry and
cold. but also frightened. No sound
reached him. Was he really alone in
the submarine boat in the depths OF the
sea:
No. he was not. At o'clock in the
morning his father, still smiling. res
cued him from an old ships igpn els
tern. in which he had been imprisoned
on the beach. The submarine boat and
her crew had, in the meantime. been
towed away 10 another seaport. but
the boy was no longer interested n a
seafaring life.

TO HANDLE FIRE.

During the Middle Ages ordeal by
fire was one OF the methods employed
for ascertainins whether person ac-
cused OF n grave crime was innocent
or guilty. II such n person was able
To walk unscathed over hot plowshares
or through n blazing fire he was ad-
judged innocent; If the heat left any
marks on his flesh he was considered
guilty. But you may handle live Goals
if you take proper precautions. In per-
forming this trick the person who Is
holding the Goals feels no pain. simply
because he has covered his hands with
mixture of gum, starch and the yolk
Of an egg. His hands are encased in
impenetrable armor. and. consequently.
he can toy with the hot Goals as safely
rs he could with marbles.-New York

THE HEART PUZZLE.

Clever and ingenious is n puzzle
which has just been invented. 1t con-
sists of box, shaped like heart,
which is provided with three circular
series Of concentric partitions, SUR
rounding three inner circular spaces.
These spaces are AT the angles of q
triangle and have pockets or depres.
sions, and between the partitions are
alternating gaps.
Those who have tried this puzzle say
that ii is amusing and clever. Like
many other popular puzzles, it seems
easy TO solve, but it takes some time,
nevertheless, to do the trick properly

AN AMUSING TRICK.

We have all heard OF curing diseases
by the laying on of hands. but who
ever heard of lifting a goblet Of water
by laying hand on Il? Perhaps you
smile at the mere mention of such a
thing. and no one can blame you, for
II does sound absurd,
But IL isn't absurd. and it can be
done. and this is the way TO do IL.
Don't tell anybody what YOU are told
here, but surprise them by performing
the trick some time. and you will make
n reputation as n pretty skillful anna
