IN A PADDLE WHEEL.
A Terrifying Adventure With a Mo-
ment of Deadly Peril

Mr.. StanhOpe Hall, author of "Twen-
ty Years at Sea- was not much more
than a boy when he had the following
curious and terrifying adventure, the
recollection of which haunted him all
his life. The ship on which he was
making his first voyage was loading
cotton in Mobile bay, and the captain
had sent him in a small boat to get
some newspapers from a big side
wheel steamer which lay near by.
In trying to bring the boat up to the
steamer he says. l upset myself and
went down. l could not swim. and l
struggled in hopeless terror When |
came to the surface l found myself in
the brackets of the great wheel. They
were green with river moss and Slip
perry as ice, but l managed to get
astride of one and regain my breath.
As held on, painting from my plunge,
a thrill Of horror ran through me. The
wheel had slowly begun to revolve. In
agony l shouted but in that great
wheel box. my voice was as nothing.
Slowly the wheel turned, carrying me
upward. When l reached the top |
should be ground to pieces. or. if by
chance l escaped that fate, should be
drowned when l was again drawn un-
der the wheel into the fearful suction.
Again and again 1 shouted Finally.
as was nearing the top, little trap
door opened and some one looked into
the box. | opened my mouth to call
once more, but my throat was paralyz-
ed. For a moment l could not utter
note.
The trapdoOr was just closing when.
with one mighty effort. my voice came
back and screamed. The man OPEN
ed the trap again, saw me. sprang upon
the wheel and snatched me into safety.

OUR TREASURE IN KEATS.
His Poetry of Three Dimensions
Height. Breadth and SOIidity.

His Poetry of Three Dimensions
Height. Breadth and SOIidity.
In reading Keats one is struck with
the wealth of his equipment. the solid
qualities of his art, his soaring imagi-
nation. his rare sense of beauty, his
range 81 emotional response, his rich
resources of language, and, not the
least noteworthy, his capability OF
growth in taste. To consider what
poet thus endowed might have given
to the world had he lived to the age of
Shakespeare or Milton eXcites the
mind almost to pain. SO little short of
miracle was his actual achievement
We believe there is no evidence that
he wrote line of verse after his twen-
ty-ffth year, and he probably wrote
little after his twenty fourth, and yet
what a glorious body of life and inspi-
ration he has left. 1t is poetry of three
dimenSions-height breadth and solid
ity. And yet. withal. it has arrowlike
intensity-a quality of which he him
self said, The excellence of every art
is its intensity. capable of making all
disagreCdbles evapOrate from their be-
ing in close relationship with truth and
beauty"
His tranScriptions of the classic into
modern speech in Hyperion and La
mia" the wonderful music and color
of The Eve of st. Agnes" the deft
and ecrie handling of ballad themes in
La Belle Dame sans Merci" and lisa
bella; or. The Pot of BASIL" the over
flowing drea.lineSs of midsummer in
the ode to Nightingale" the depth
and lyric directness of such lines as
In a Drear Nighted December" and a
whole anthology of noble sOnnets in
terpretin@ life and nature-these are
but a moiety of the overtlOwing stream
Of his passionate imaginings, for in
him the intellectual and the emotional
were kindly mixed. In the face of
such a record of good work the faults
CT his earlier manner are not worth
cOnsideration.-Cen

A Nest of Criminals.

A spot practically unknown to civ
ilization on the shores of the Red sea
at Midi is the home of pirates and
slavers. a regular nest of criminals.
The place is inhabited almost entirely
by men, for the sheik who holds all
sOlute control there allows only the
best of his warriors to marry. 1t pays
no tribute to the Turkish government.
for it lies at the end of a long. narrow

probable that it will continue its ca

THE THREE ANGELS.
4 Bit of Hungarian Folklore Illus
trating German Firmness.

a Bit of Hungarian Folklore Illus
trating German Firmness.
Here is a bit of Hungarian folklore:
After the Lord had decided to expel
Adam and Eve from paradise he sent
Gabriel, the Hungarian angel, to carry
out his order Now, from the eating of
the fruit of the forbidden tree Adam
and Eve had become quite shrewd. and
they were endedvOrinS to get out of
the fix as best they coul@ so they pre-
pared big feast, received Gabriel
with the utmost kindness and sought
to win his heart by a lot of affection
ate words. They succeeded. 1t grieved
Gabriel to eXpel these kind hosts from
their home lie therefore returned to
the Lord with the request that some
body else be charged with this un-
pleasant mission.
Thereupon the Lord sent FlOrian, the
knew FlOrian to be more Obedient and
less magnanimOus. Adam and Eve
were just dining when Florian, hat and
large cane in hand, stepped in. He sa-
luted in a most humble manner and
then told why he had come. Have
you it in writing?' inquired Adam Sc
verely. NO" stammered the visitor.
and, frightened. he returned to his
heavenly abode.
Then the Lord sent Michael. the Ger
man angel. Adam and Eve at once set
to work preparing even a richer meal
than had been served Gabriel, think
ing they might induce Michael to be
lenient. So the very best things were
served, and there was no scarcity of
beer and good sausages. Michael ate
until he could hardly even wheeZe.
Then he arose and, drawing his sword,
said, Now you get out of this" Ad-
am and Eve tried all their little tricks
to stay. They appealed to his mercy
and implOred him to consider how
nicely they had treated him. But all in
vain. Michael remained firm, merely
saying, 1T must be-" And he drove
them Out.-Chicago News.

HORSEPOWER.
The Unit as 1t Was Originated and
Defined by Watt.

When steam engines were employed
to drive mills. pumps and other ma
chinery which had been previously
driven by horses, it was natural to at
tempt to express the work done by
them in terms of the working power
of the horse
james Watt was the first to define
the unit of horsepower, which by ex-
pertinent he found to be $4,000 foot
pounds a minute. In other words. a
one horsepower engine would raise
$4,000 pounds one foot every minute.
and so on prOpOrtiOnally to the number
of "hOrsepOwers" indicated by the en-
gine.
He arrived at this conclusion by OBJ
serving the work done by heavy dray
horses III brewerieS working eight
hours daily and found that horse go
ing at the rate of two miles and half
an hour could raise a weight of $50
pounds by a rope led over pulley.
which is equal to $4,000 pounds raised
one foot in one minute
Watt, for the credit of his engines.
selected horses of more than average
power

MAHOGANY WOOD.
Tae Way it Came to BE Used In the
Making of Furniture.


Ch.ppendale owes hls reputation to
the fact that he published Il book Of
designs with over 200 copperplate
engravings, 50 that today any one who
wishes may get them and reproduce
them exactly or with such changes
and improvements as suit his fancy.
That they are capable of improvement
ChippenGale himself was the first to
declare Chippendale was one of the
Iirst makers of mahogany furniture
Before his time this precious wood was
valued only for the medicinal qualities
it was supposed to possess.
The idea Of making furniture of ma
hogany wood appears to have been the
result of chance. \ certain physician
in London had great many mahogany
plankS. and. wanting Il candle box, he
sent for a cabinetmaker and instructed
him to use the mahogany for the re-
quired article of furniture The man
objected that the wood was too hard
for his tools. and the doctor told him
to get harder tools. The man did so,
and when the doctor saw the box he
was amazed at its beauty. Patients
and friends talked about it, and at last
the Duchess of Buckingham came to
see it. She was enraptured and per
suaded the doctor to give her wood for
a similar box. As a result mahogany
got to be the fashion.

THE ELDER TREE.
In Days Long Gone by 1t Was Held

IN Days Long Gone by 1t Was Held
In Disrepute.
In Olden days to be crowned with
elder was a disgrace. In an old play
we read, Laurel for garland and
elder for disgrace" This may have
been due to the story which Shake
speare has noticed that Judas hanged
himself upon an elder tree:
Well folOw'd; Judas was hanged on an
elder.-"LOve' Labour's Lost"
This legend was generally accepted.
Ben JOnsOn in Every Man Out of His
Humour" has, "He shall be your Judas.
and you shall be his elder tree to hang
on" and Nixon in his Strange Foot
steps," Our gardens will prosper the
better when they have in them not one
Of those elders whereupOn so many
covetOus Judases hang Themselves"
Shakespeare also makes it an en-
blem of grief:
Grow patience
and let the sinking elder. grief. untwine

Silent Jnpanese women

Japan has it's communities of silent
female recluses. There is a convent
at place called Yunakawa, about sew
en- miles from HakOdate. A matron
OF some fifty years presides. and her
instructions are implicitly obeyed. The
women are all young. ranging from six
teen to twenty-seven, and some of
them are described as very beautiful.
The building stands in a. farm of some
go acres, but the women do not en-
gage in any agricultural work. They
spend most Of their time indoors. and
they observe a strict rule of silence.

an hour means extreme physical suffer-
ing for passengers. For a day it would
involve absolute torture. The wind
which prevails every day is a hot. as
phyXiating blast, and its continuous
directions are from north and south
toward the center. As a result every
passing vessel is subjected to two days
of almost intOlerable heat. followed by
two days of comparative comfort. but
instances have been known of crowd
ed liners being compelled when trav-
cling with the wind to turn round and
steam back for an hour or so in order
to give the passengers even a brief res
pite from the sufferings induced by
the dull, dead, unbearabe atmosphere.

the cattle would eat up clean without
securing. 1t was found that with al
falfa it was possible for the steers to
eat too much hay and become loose.
The grain ration was begun with four
pounds per 1000 pounds live weight
The grain YVES increased very grad
ually, the steers getting on full feed
In five weeks.
The cattle arrived in Kansas City on
June 26 for slaughter The packers
found the carcasses of the ensilage lot
(two-year-olds) OF good quality They
were covered with the right amount of
fat. the lOins were excellent. and the
carcasses showed very little waste and
were salable in any market
The carcasses of the Kaffir corn lot
looked like grass cattle. They were
fairly well feshed, but not we'll cover
ed with fat They were considered
only an ordinary bunch of cattle.
The best animal as to quality is not
always the best gamer. With one ex-
ception the highest market price was
placed by Armour & Co. on the choice
animals. In this test the profit for the
feeder is. with one exception, consid-
erably more for the best gamer than
for the choice animal. 1t should be
noted, however, that the best gamers
were also of excellent quality and
stood close to the choice animals in re-
spect to merit
The lot Of calves and the lot of three
year-Olds We're fed cut alfalfa, corn
chop, katfir corn chop and cottonseed
meal
Contrasting two lots of two-year-old
steers, one lot fed with ensilage in ad-
dition to alfalfa hay for roughness and
the other without. it was noticed that
ie- every 100 pounds of gain All
pounds of ensilage saved IS pounds of
grain and 1J6 pounds of alfalfa, saw
ing of 52.62 cents; also the ensIlage
steers sold for % cents a hundred
weight more than the others. This
makes the All pounds of ensilage
worth 1852 cents. or at the rate of
$329 per ton. Average farm land with
an average season will produce from
twelve to fifteen tons Of green corn per
acre. Rich bottom land under favora-
Bile conditions will produce from TWEEN.
ty to twenty-five tons per acre. With
the modest yield of ten tons per acre
there is an income according to the
above experiment. of S329O per acre.
The financial statement shows that
the ensilage steers made a profit for
feed consumed Of 81 10 per head. while
the same grade Of steers on the same
feed except enSilage lost S1.47 per
head.
The ensilage acted as a regulator of
the bowels 1t was also an appetizer,
and for these reasons the steers fed en-
silage could be forced more than the
others. The best gains from the ensi-
lage occurred IL the fore part of the
feeding period
The heaviest loss, ST.41 per head. was
