Eilin;no Fire.Maker.

A curious contrivance is used by
some of the natives of Northern
Luzon, Philippine Islands, for the
purpose Of obtaining fire.
This consists of hardwood tube Of
about one centimeter internal dia-
meter and six centimeters in length
and a piston of slightly less diameter
and length. The tube is closed at one
end by an air tight plug or, instead,
the piece of wood of which 1t is made
is not bored completely through its
entire length. The inside of the tube
is smooth and highly polished. The
piston has handle and resembles the
piston of the small boys pop gun"
The end of the piston is made to fit
the tube alright by wrapping OF
wax thread, and directly in the end
a shallow cavity is cut. Lint scrap
ed from weather beaten timber and
well dried is used for tinder. A small
bit of this is placed in the cavity at
the end Of the piston, the latter is
inserted a half-inch in the open end
Of the tube and then driven quickly
home with a smart stroke of the
palm. Upon withdrawing the piston
the lint is found 1gnited, the sudden
compression of air generating the
necessary heat.-Scientiflc American.

Eskimo Candy.

Did you ever taste bit of tallow,
children? If you have, am sure you
do not consider it great delicacy, yet
reindeer tallow is the Eskimo chill
drens candy, and suppose they are
quite satisfied. This candy" is put
up in bright red packages made out
of the feet of waterfowl. The wo-
men cut off the red feet of this bird,
which is called the dovekie, draw out
the bones, blow up the skins, so as to
make pouches, which they fill with the
reindeer tallow for their little folk.
None of the food that the Eskimos
eat seems very inviting to us; but they
are extremely fond of it, and are very
apt to overeat. 1t is said by explorers
who have gone into Greenland, that it
is no uncommon sight to see an Eski-
mo man who has eaten an enormous
meal of raw, frozen flesh eating blub-
ber until he can scarcely move.

"Deadhead" Stamps.

Many theatregoers are wondering
why the "deadhead stamp idea was
seemingly dropped so quickly. The
stamp was an idea fathered by the
supporters of the Actors Home and
its purpose was to supply the home
with funds by making those who did
not purchase tickets at least pay some
thing for the benefit of those who
amused them. The stamp was a lit
tie green ticket which was stuck upon
a pass when seats were issued and for
which the "deadhead" had to pay 10
cents. 1t flourished here for few
weeks in the latter months Of last year
and then stopped An inquiry at the
local houses drew forth the informa-
ton that the supply of stamps sent
from New York had soon been exhaust
ed and none others had been forward
ed. As 1t gave at least $40 night to
the fund from the San Francisco thea
tres and the cause is good one the
managers in the association here are
hoping that fresh supply of stamps
will soon be received.--S Francisco
Chronicle.

The California kinn.snake.

That small harmless little snake,
ger and only fifteen to twenty inches
long, should be called the "king-snake"
seems rather odd, but the little fellow
has certainly earned the name. A
pet king.snalie in mining camp out
in the desert mountains east of San
Bernardino, Cal, was named King"
He soon learned his name, and when
called would come crawling rapidly
oIH from various hiding places, such
as crevices in the stone walls of the
cabin, under the bed, among clothes,
and from his favorite place in the coat
pocket of Jim, one of the miners.
One day Jim was going down an
abandoned shaft. When he had near
ly reached the foot of the ladder he
heard a slight rustic, and quick as a
flash King jumped out of his pocket
and dropped to the bottom. There
was thrashing sound and also the
noise of a rattlesnake's rattle; then
all was quiet jim waited a moment
or two before going further down, and
as 1t was too dark to see well, he
strucl; match and lighted his candle
and held it cautiously down. There
lay dead rattlesnake, and King
coiled beside him, watching.
Another day, as the boys were talk
ing in the cabin, Jim looked out

rattlesnake slowly crawling up the
sandy arroyo about 30 or 40 feet from
the cabin doCr. King was called i'm
mediately, and quickly came out from
under the bed. Jim took him on the
palm Of his hand and stepped to the
door to show the rattler to him, but
King saw him, and sprang from Jim's
hand quick as a fash. Then ensued
one of the oldest battles, which show
ed how King earned his name, and
why rattlesnakes are so terrified when
they see king-snake.
King sped like an arrow after the
rattIer. The rattler saw King, and at
once put all the energy he had into
his speed. He saw King coming, and
knew that he would soon overtake
him. His only safety lay in coiling
and If possible striking King.
The rattlesnake had just time to
raise his head about six inches when
King overlook him. 1t looked as If
King was going on by the rattlesnake.

The Aue of steel,

About 1890 some railroads com
mcnced to build small spans and
plate girders of Steel and, for eye
bars, steel was almost exclusively
used. At that time most of the roll
ing mills, which had formerly manu-
factured wrought iron, were equipped
with steel furnaces, but continued fol-
some time to make both kinds of ma
terial until they found it more profit
able to conflne themselves to the
manufacture of structural steel only
and discontinued the manufacture OF
wrought iron. In 1894 it was practi
cally impossible to obtain wroughtiror
shapes, and from that time forward
steel entirely superseded wrought
iron as the modern structural mater
ial. The year 1894, therefore, may be
considered as the commencement o.
the present epoch.-the Steel Age

a Pet Gael,

Up the Shat-el-Arab river, lying of
Bussorah, whence Sindbad the Sailor
set forth on his famous journeys, we
had given us, as a great table deci-
cacy, young gael. The little fell
low was not more than two feet in
height his eyes were large and brown
and lustrous; his little horns and roofs
were as black and shining as ebony;
his fawn-colored skin was like silk;
his movements were the embodiment
of grace. No one had the heart to
contemplate killing such a beautiful
creature so when some men came aft
to beg that they might have him to
care for he was at once given to them.
"Sindbad" was a name not quite
suited to him, but the sailors chose it
from associations with the place. He
was beloved by every one-St. Nicho-
