Conan Doyle a Rapid Worker.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is remark. ably quick worker, most of whose time seems to be given up to the healthy enjoyment of life. He seems, however, to be able economically to combine work with play. For instance, one may see him engaged in vigorous game of cricket or golf in the early afternoon, and the game may be fol- lowed by brisk country walk with a friend. Returning from the walk, the novelist will say to the friend: we dine at 8 o'clock; perhaps you would like to take stroll round the garden before dressing, while l go upstairs" and he retires, presumably to enjoy short rest. After dinner he may make some such quiet remark as this to his friend: By the way, rather happy idea occurred to me during our walk this afternoon" Hereupon he gives the outline of very ingenious plot. "What capital idea for short story" exclaims his friend. "So I thought" remarks the novelist. "Well, will you do it" "Oh, I've done it," comes the authors calm reply. q wrote the story while you were walking in the gar den."

THE SUNKEN BARGE OF 1911.


 Now and then some unwritten de- tail concerning the earlier years of the American Republic comes curl ously to the surface. ''I'm 80 years Old," said tall, gray-bearded Ken tuckian, and every few years, while l lived near Owensboro, Ky, a wreck ing party would come along, hunting that old barge of lead in the Ohio River.
 Tn 1911 band of men were cor delling up the river, all the way from the lead mines ill Missouri, barge loaded with lead ore. No steam pow CT was known in those days; and all big boats had to be pulled up stream by cordelle or rope, the men strug- gling along the edge of the river through the almost impossible under brush. The barge of lead was des- tined for Louisville. Ky. there to be molded into bullets with which to fight the British in the war which seemed inevitable.
 "Near Owensboro, Ky, a big wind storm arose, and great waves lashed over the barge and sank 1t. It has never been seen or heard of since, al- though innumerabe efforts have been made to locate it and recover its car go. Divers, singly and in companies, government officials and independent wrecking parties have explored the Ohio River without avail. Whenever a strange man or men would appear in that part of Kentucky and ask to be directed to the oldest gray-haired man in the country, 1t would make people laugh. We always knew they were seeking information concerning the old 1911 barge of lead. The lat est attempt, believe, was made in 1865.
 "SOon after the barge sank earth quakes in the West and South were frequent, and it is believed by many persons that the barge and cargo were buried deep in the river-bed during one of these violent convulsions."

Beyond Anneal.

A small town in Colorado, thirteen thousand two hundred feet above sea level, boasts justice of the peace. Recently suit was tried before him that stirred the community to its cen ter, from the fact that one of the par ties imported lawyer from distant city. The Philadelphia Ledger tells the story of the case:
 That case dragged itself to an un- precedented length, and the populace had never dreamed that law was SO full of objections and exceptions, mo- tions. protests, approximations and the like, as that lawyer proved it to be.
 But there was one thing he could not prolong, and that was the prompt, crisp, decisive judgment for the plaintiff" as soon as the trial was fairly over.
 "Well, slr," said the lawyer, in tones of superiority, i've shall have to take this case to a higher court"
 "You can't do that, mister" replied the magistrate.
 And why not, prayY
 There ain't any higher court. This court is thirteen thousand two hun dred feet above the level of the sea, and it's several hundred feet the high. est court in the country"

LinCOln's Poetry.

It is sentimental habit of speech to regret the songs never sung" Yet the dispassionate critic knows there is quite enough poetry, unless 1t is of the very best; he has no tears for mute, iDglorlous Miltons." But there is no true American who would not pay a price for certain batch of poems probably long ago destroyed.
 Gibson William Harris, who was a law student in Lincoln x Herndon's office from 1S45 to 1S47, has written for the Woman's Home Companion some of his recollections of Abraham Lincoln. In putting the office in order one morning, he came upon two or three quires of letter paper, stitched to- gether, inside a desk. He turned the leaves, and found that they were cov- cred with stanzas in Mir. Lincoln's neat, running hand.
 When MT. Lincoln came in the young man took the manuscript out of the desk again, and held 1t up with the unnecessary and impertinent inquiry whether the poems were his.
 "Where did you find it?' asked MT. Lincoln.
 He took the manuscript, rolled 1t up and stuffed it into his pocket. It was never seen again. The theory of the writer who tells this story is that 1t was taken home and put into the fire.

THE HORN OF A COW.
Many Useful Things Are Made Out

Mauy O8eIul 1AlhkS AHC UAdAC Ous
 of It.
 Scientists, those men who are fond of finding out all about things, tell us that a cows horn Is combination of phosphate of lime, gelatine and al- bumen, with these three substanceS in the right proportion to make tho horn not only serviceable to the ami, nal, but useful to man. The lime makes the horn hard, but there is just enough to make 1t hard without mak. ing 1t brittle, and there Is just enough gelatine to make the horn easy to cut and shape, says the New York Her. aid.
 Inside the horn Is a core, which Is bone. To get it out the horn Is soaked in water for several weeks and when the core comes out it is ground up and made into cruclbles, which are used for melting gold and silver in.
 The outer end of the horn is hard and solid and is used for making knife handles and other things. The hollow part of the horn is soaked for half an hour or so in boiling water, when it becomes soft and may easily be split with knife. It Is then spread out fiat and put between iron plates. There was time long ago when these horn plates were made very thin by hard pressure and used in windows and lanterns as we now use glass. The "horn-books" of the olden time, from which children learned the al- phabet were made of the same.
 When horn is heated it may be nodded into almost any desirable form. That is the way knife handles, buttons and other articles are made. A mold of the required shape is used and when the heated horn substance is put into it and subjected to pres- sure the material takes the shape of the mold.
