The NEPHEW CAUGHT ON.
Showed His Mercenary Uncle He
Could Be as Saving as
Anyone.

A naval officer, recently returned from
the isthmus of Panama, according to the
New York Tribune, tells the following
story concerning the wealthiest man on
the isthmus:
Senior M is known all over the 18th
mus as the stingiest man who ever lived
He win have no lights in his house except
candles, and the lone candle in his sit
hng-room is not burned at night when he
is talking to visitors and is not compelled
to have light.
THE old man has nephew who makes
the money.Ay.~ A short time age, he called
on his uncle at night. While they were
talking the old man blew out his candle
hat did you do that for!' the young
ster asked.
Why, we don't need the light while
we are talking the uncle replied.
While the uncle was talking earnestly
The boy began to shuttle about in the dark.
Much annoyed by, the interruption, the
old man said: What are you doing?'
Only just taking off my trousers the
boy replied. I don't need them in the
dark and want to keep from wearing them

DASH FOR POLE IN AUTO.
Contemplated Trip Into Antarctic

Wheel Sled.

An automobile sled is the vehicle a
Belgian explorer, Mons Henryk Arc
towski-in view of his speciality, why
making his next dash for the south
pole, says LIE Tour du Monde He is now
experimenting with motors and pro-
peilers
steamship expeditions to the south
sea are stopped by land or walls of per-
petual ice long before they reach the
pole. From the shore expeditions have
gone inland some distance with dog
sleds, but there is a limit to the dis
lance that can be covered as food for
the dogs has to be carried, and adds
greatly to the necessary stores.
If a motor sufficiently simple and
strong can be found, which will run in
the coolest weather and will not con-
sumo as great weight of stores per
mile as the dogs do, Monsieur Arctow-
ski believes it will be a great aid to
the explorer.
His present scheme is to use Cana
dian sledges or tOboggans, and attach
to each two wheels with spur teeth,
mounted like the side wheels of riv-
er steamer, and arranged so that they
can be raised or lowered, to grip light
ly or deeply according as the snow is
crusted or soft. The whole affair must
be light enough so that it will not sink
too deep in the snow. and strong
enough to pillow its way through mod
crate depth of light flakes, and large
enough to carry the explorer and neces-
sary stores for him and the motor

And the toler leans and listens to that
music wild and sweet
Where the plowShare keen has cloven

Singing, singing.

Iona Island steamer Burned.

By the burning of the Starin Line
steamer Glen Island in Long Island
sound Saturday morning two passen'
gers and seven of the crew lost their
lives. and property roughly estimated
at a quarter of million dollars was
destroyed
That more lives were not sacrificed
undoubtedly was due to the personal
courage of the officers and crew and
the excellent discipline maintained
while the two boats were being low
cred. When the steamer was aban-
doned she was fame-swept from stem
to stern, and yet the only persons who
lost their lives were those whose es-
cape had been entirely cut off by the
fire before the alarm reached them.

of q, who sailed on the steamboat,
%, including eight passengers, were
brought back to New York after being
picked up by tug and put on the
