A New Aid to Navigation.

The automatic compass of M. Heit, which has been brought to notice in Mar seilles after test of several months, is claimed to offer an important new aid to navigation. The basin is divided into isolated sections, and an electric cur- rent is so arranged that flexible wire moving over 8 small silver index at tached to the card gives record minute by minute of the angle of the needle with the meridian, thus supplying a complete register of the ships course and of the time of the helmsman's s changes. Certain sections are connected to call bells, which signal to the com mander any unusual deviations. The apparatus shows the speed of the vessel by registering the revolutions of the screw, and it also indicates the time of departure and of every stop and stark

MADE GHAsTLY DISCOVERY.
Army of Almost Microscopic Ants Got Into the Jam--Awful Mo-
 ment for Hostess.

In Mr. Julian Hawthorne's Flaw thorne and His Circle" is the story of an experience which will doubtless be ap- preciated by many housekeepers, who have suffered similar agony, if not from precisely the same cause.
 One night during Mir. Hawthorne s term as consul at Liverpool his friend, Mir. Henry Bright, the water-color ar tist, came to an informal supper, and Mrs. Hawthorne, in honor of her guest placed upon the table jar of especially fine raspberry jam
 MT. Bright tasted the jam, and at once became enthusiastic He had never eaten any so delicious, he declared. There was a peculiar twang about it which surpassed his recollections of any jam he had ever tasted from boyhood up. He was still in the midst of his rhapso- dies and still consuming their subject with enthusiasm when Mrs. Hawthorne, who had taken little of the jam upon her own plate, made ghastly discovery. The cover of the jam pot had evidently got ajar in the closet, and an innumera- ble army of almost microscopic ants had discovered the treasure, and plunged eagerly into it.
 What color the invading army had been before they became incorporated with the jam nobody knew; at the time of the discovery they could be distin- guished only by their struggles with the pervasive stickiness-and the eyes of Henry Bright were among the most near-sighted in England.
 What was to be done? MT. and Mrs. Hawthorne stealthily exchanged lone awful look" and the question was set tied. It was too late to recall the ants devoured by thousands; it was clear ly one of the cases where ignorance was bliss. MT. Bright accompanied his meal with "continual psalm" in praise of the exquisite flavor of the raspberry jam, and never to the day of his death discovered the awful secret of that fla vor.
 There is one comfort about such ex- periences. Although even the most well-poised or heroic soul could hardly enjoy them at the time, one who is blessed with sense of humor knows that sooner or later, when the right perspective is reached, they will furnish chapters in the family chronicles.

During the last year the British, Japanese and Russians have each had a ship at Newchwang.

MAsEL PAGES DEATH.
Police Obtain n C1ew to Mysterious
 Killing at Weaton.

KflIing at Weston.
 WESTON, Mass. April 5.--The au- thorities Investigating the murder of Mise Mabel Page at her fathers home here last Thursday have been furnish ed with new clew by a neighbor of the Pages.
 Miss Huntington, who lives about mile from the Page house, informed Harold Page, brother of the dead wo- man, and also the police that she had recalled having seen strange man about 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon coming along South avenue from the direction of the Page premises, ap parently much excited. He was hur rying, Miss Huntington says, and per spring freely. He turned the corner into Wellesley avenue and disappeared In that direction. The police promptly began work on this clew, Miss Hunt ington having furnished them with a description of the man.
 The man attracted attention particu- larly because he seemed to be so warm on cold day. 1t also was unusual to see person so we'll dressed as this man was so far from the trolley lines. The police also are weighing carefully, they say, the information that for mer Boston man was at one time en- gagged to marry Miss Page and that the engagement was broken on the eve of the wedding day. The officers say that they have decided to find this man, who Is said to have left Boston immediate ly after his alleged dismissal by Miss Page.
 The maniac theory is found to have little ground for confirmation. The man who escaped from a Taunton asy- ium is no longer implicated, as he is known to have worked steadily on farm in Somerset since he left the in ztitution.
