Even Family Secrets!

The inquisitorial proceedings Of in
come-tax collectors in Austria are a
source Of great annoyance to self-re-
speeding citizens. They pry into every
family secret, however delicate. But
now they do ever than that.
They attempt to check the income of
a man by finding out what is sent him
by rail. The inspector Of taxes at
Myslenice, in order to give the screw
another turn, has applied to the rail-
way managers for permission to send
an official to Makow station for a GER
tain time in order to examine all par
GELS sent there or thence, and find out
to whom or from whom they have
been sent. OF course the purpose of
such a demand is clear. Proof is re-
CURED that certain persons spend
more, and therefore have a greater in
come than they have declared, thus
ignoring the fact that a mai may pos
sibly live beyond his income. At the
same time it must be confessed that
there is a great difficulty in getting
people to give truthful declarations.

A Ventilated Barrel.

It is well known that the ordinary
barrel is not adapted for the shipment
of perishable produce for long dis
tances. There being no ear of
ventilation, the produce rots in a
short time and therefore becomes I'M
fit for sale. A Southerner has in
vented a novel ventilated barrel that
is designed particularly for the ship
ping of spinach, kale and other garden
produce, an illustration of which is
shown here. The barrel is light, strong
and durable, the ventilated openings
being so arranged that they will not
become clogged and closed by the con-
tents of the barrel. The body of the
barrel is composed Of the two sets of
veneer slaves, n set being arranged
within the other. The other slaves,
which T spaced apart slightly, have
straight parallel edges and when the
slaves are bowed to form the bilge of
tho barrel a tapering intervening
space is formed. The outer slaves
have vertical v%entilating slots, or open
ings at the center, these slots being
located between the middle hoops of
the barrel, permitting the escape of
moisture and sweat from the contents
Of the barrels. The inner slaves cover
the intervening spaces between the
outer slaves. making a barrel of great
strength. The inner slaves are also

Pyroradio Activity the Latest.

Pyroradio activity is the dernier cri.
This is the radio active power taken
by a wire charged with negative cleo
tricity as it is heated. Such a wire
includes radio activity in any sub
stance submitted to it's action, doing
without the help of radium. DR.. H.
Toummarina Of Switzerland discover
ed pyroradio activity, also discovered
that any substance placed in the me-
dunn surrounding x rays becomes
radio activity. Any solid body, includ-
ing fruit, grass, and live animals, as
we'll as any kind of conducive or in
sulating liquids, have thus been made
radio active. In experimenting with
birds DR.. Toummarina found that the
intensity of radio active radiating is
stronger with grown individuals than
in young ones, and depends also on
the state of activity or rest of the
subject. Radio activity seems to be
proportional TO muscular activity or
vital energy. This phenomenon, for
which bioradio activity has been sug-
gested as a name, apparently has a
rather intimate relation with life, and
from this point of view it's further in
vestigation probably will yield results
Of great bearing, both in philosophi-
cal and practical problems.

Failinss Of Young Engineers.

Charles F. Scott says 1t is easier to

CHAPTER TX.
The Dark Hour.

cit seemed like a dream to Ulin.
She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arose-and walked across the
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was it possible
that a member of the robber band had
been to see her-had been within her
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion Of Julian's
seeking her for aid. in behalf Of the
chieftain? She was trying to make
it appear real, when her bondmaiden
returned.
The door ~as closed, and Abba re-
marked, as she took a seat:
He will be in the garden two hours
past midnight, my lady; and If we
can help him, we must do our work as
speedily as possible"
Help" repeated Ulin, gazing into
her attendants face. "How can we
help Julian?'
"The thing may be possible" replied
Abba, in a thoughtful mood. IF you
would serve him, T think a way can
be opened to the accomplishment"
The princess reflected a few mo-
ments, and then said:
eff the man who was here spoke
the truth, it may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. I can very easily
see how the powerful robber band,
moved to desperation by the death of
their beloved leader, might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, if we can be the
mean of averting so dire a calamity,
it is Jul duty so to do"
II think it u.s." added Abba.
But" continued Ulin, eff Julian is
in the power Of the king, he must be
in one of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
How can we reach him."
81 can think Of but n way" re-
turned the bondmaiden, laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceesed. "Osmir and Selim had a hand
in capturing the young chieftain; and
it is not impossible that they may
have a hand in guarding him. I judge
SO from the fact that the capture of
the robber has not yet become gen.
orally known in the city, which would
certainly have been the case if the
kings officers had known it.. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude of
this Osmir, and l think he is, by ma
ture, grateful enough to repay us. He
is the man whom we found faint and
dying upon the shore of the lake, and
who must have died if we had not
nursed him. You remember the cir
c~umstance?"
Gle had almost been killed by some
slaves Of Aleppo." explained Abba.

more like a prisoner than like a prin-
cess!"
At this juncture the bondmaiden
arose from her seat and moved for
ward. Her dark eyes sparkled with
peculiar fire, and her fair brow worked
as though the balm were revolving
mighty thoughts.
Dear lady," she said, addressing
her mistress, there is but one way in
which we can render the assurance
which this man seeks"
Speak, Albia," said Ulin, b%etraying
a suddenness Of emotion which told
very plainly how her desire a n
mot now, my Mistress" returned
the girl. II must have time: If this
man can come to u garden two hours
past midnight, I can tell him more"
"Is there help?" asked Hobaddan,
eagerly.
II cannot tell you now" replied Al
bia. II can only tell you this! If
there is help, it is to be found only
in one quarter. / will look for 1t
there; and, at, the time I have men
toned, you shall know the result. I
will look for it if my lady is willing"
"And 1 an pardoned for my intru.
sion?" said Hobaddan.
Eyes" returned Ulin. She would
have said more, but Abba was al
ready at the door, and the robber had
turned to follow her.

CHAPTER VII.-(Continued.)
When the princess was alone, she
trembled beneath the weight Of the
new thought that had been wrought
upon her. Flight vas something that
had not made it's way to her mind be-
fore, but now that it had been present.
ed, she could not dismiss it. She had
revealed her whole feeling, so far as
the king was concerned, in her speech
to Abba. There may have been other
springs within her soul which she did
not then dare to touch; but in her own
soul, unsupported and uninf1uenced by
other causes than such as spring from
reason and reflection, had grown a fear
Of Koran, and a terror of being his
wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena
until the dead queen seemed almost
an attendant spirit upon her, sent to
warn her. The night passed. and the
day came; and she had resolved that
she would not marry with the old king
if she could avoid it. When Abba
came, and asked her what she had de-
termined, such was the purport of her
answer.
But" said the bondmaiden. there
is but one way in which the sacrifice
can be avoided. Are you ready to
dee?"
mot yet-not yet, Abba. Wait
through the day."
In the afternoon the king made a
visit to the house OF his prime minis
ter and spent a short time with Ulin.
He never looked more repulsive. He
was loud in his words of love, and
made the announcement that fortune
had turned full in his favor. 1t was
evident enough that he had been TAX
ing more wine than usual. When he
went away, Ulin sank down upon a
low stool, and buried her face in her
bands.
Abba" she said, when she felt like
speaking, Il a bear no more. I would
rather die than give myself to that
man. If I should die, my father would
lose me; but if I flee from Damascus,
I may at some time return to him. If
you can prepare for leaving the city, I
will accompany o this very night"
The bondmaiden promised that she
would do all in her power; and without
waiting to waste time in useless words,
she went forth to search for the help
she needed.
Evening came, and Ulin had not
shrunk back from the decision she
had made. There were two reasons
why her home had not power to win
her back from her resolve. The death
OF her mother had taken away the
brightest part of that home; and, fur
thermore, its character of home was
soon to be changed if she remained.
It could not be her home any more.
