Sailors on long cruises sometimes
exhaust their tobacco. Thence untold
misery and many ingenious efforts to
create a tobacco substitute. Tea and
coffee make the best tobacco substi-
tutes. They smoke freely in pipe or
cigarettes. and their taste and aroma
are not unpleasant. But they burn the
mouth and rack the nerves. Rope yarn
the UNFINISHED parts Of rope and oak
um-is smoked by sailors as a last re-
sort. Bark. peeled from the hoops Of
salt beef and pork barrels, is also
smoked when the limit is reached.
These things smoke abominably, and
the black fumes that they give forth
from the sailors mouths r always
accompanied by oaths and impreca-
tons. Yet many a desperate sailor
has smoked them in the hope Of APP
peasing his tobacco hunger.

couple OF retainers out OF his path and
facing the beaming sutton. An inter
prefer took a hand at this juncture, and
the doughty captain finally was made
to understand the object OF the visit.
He laughed in the sheik's face and told
the mate to call up a few jackies to
drive the 'dagoes" off. Rip Van Win
kle interfered, and peace was restored.
The cruise had changed Rip into a hap

sheik's demand to her as soon as he
came aboard, and she had divulged it
to Peggy the instant Rip was out OF
sight.
Brewster found the sheik sitting In
state on the upper deck impatiently
awaiting the appearance OF his charm
er. He did not know her name, but he
had TRANQUILITY commanded Rip to pro-
duce all of the women on board so that
he might select Peggy from among
them. Van Wrinkle and Bragdon, who
now was in the secret, were preparing
to march the ladies past the ruler when
Monty came up.
"Has he seen Peggy?' he asked of
Van Wrinkle.
Not yet. She is dressing for the oc-
casion."
well, wait and see what happens to
him when she gets over the first
shock" laughed Monty.
Just then the sheik discovered Peg
gy, who, pretty as a picture, drew
near the strange group. To her amaze
ment, two slaves rushed forward and
obstructed her passage long enough to
beat their heads on the deck a few
times. after which they arose and ten
dered two magnificent necklaces. She
was prepared for the proposal, but this
action disconnected her. She gasped
and looked about IN perplexity. Her
friends were SIZZLING broadly, and the
sheik had placed his hands over his
p%slpitating heart.
"Lothario has a pain" whispered
Rip Van Wrinkle alphabetically, and
Brewster laughed. Peggy did not hes
itate an instant after hearing the
laugh. She walked straight toward
the sheik. Her cheeks were pink, and
her eyes were flashing dangerously.
The persistent brown slaves followed
with the jewels. but she ignored them
completely. Brave as she intended to
be, she could not repress the shudder
OF repulsion that went over her as she

The Tuna In the Most Graceful OF the
Jumpers of the sea-.
Many Of the inhabitants of the sea
are good jumpers and some have be-
come famous. Among them should be
mentioned the tarpon or silver king, a
huge fish with scales that CLEAN like
silver. which constitutes the famous
game fish Of Florida. The leaps Of this
beautiful creature are often astonish-
Ing. Several years ago a steamer was
rushing down the st. Johns river. The
captain was sitting on the fore deck,
leaning against the pilot house, when
suddenly there rose In the air a beauti-
ful shining fish four feet In length. 1t
came On like an arrow and landed In
the lap Of the captain as neatly as
though 1t had been placed there.
In the Pacific waters the tuna, an
ally Of the horse mackerel, is noted
for Its leaps. Sometimes a school
sweeps up the coast and the powerful

seen In the air in every direction. They

Truly the way of the transgres. sor is hard and his ingenuity is kept busy eluding the constantly increasing methods of detecting him. The latest device is extreme. ly subtle, and it will be clever thief who can see his way clear out of the trap which scientific mind has prepared for him. It was in vented by a chemist of Budapest, and is a chemical powder, of a vel low color, which has the curious property of dyeing the skin of the person touching it to deep blue. The color is not removable by any known means, and washing it only makes the color deeper. However, after a fortnight it begins to wear of, and at the end of about three months all traces of the coloration will yanish.-N. Y. Times.

GOLD ATTRACTS MICROBES
Yellow Metal Collects Disease Germs While Silver Is Free from
 This Danger.

The poor man hasn't everything against him. It has been discov. ared that gold collects disease germs to q greater extent than either silver or copper. Thus the poor man. with only quarters and dimes and pennies to handle, is safer than the rich man with his eagles and double eagles. And the poor man, with his silver watch, can ascertain the time without half the risk that the gold watched rich man runs. It has been proved that gold has great CT attraction for disease germs than any other metal. Microbes crowd a piece of gold as commit. ars crowd the trains in rush hours. Silver and copper, how ever, the poor mans metals, are not so overrun with microbes. On pennies or dimes there is always room for the little creatures to stretch their legs and move about a bit.

BISHOPS COIN OWN MONEY
Occupants of Ancient Sees in England Issued Currency as They
 Pleased.

The occupants of the ancient sees of Canterbury and York, during the Anglo Saxon period, enjoyed the privilege of issuing their own coinage, a coinage rich in archaeological, artistic and his torical interest. No record exists of the conditions or circumstan- ces under which the right of coin age was granted to the archbish. ops of Canterbury, beyond the in trinsic evidence of the coins them. selves. Only one type of coin ap- pears to have been issued, the sil yer penny. It is presumed, from the appearance on the earliest coins of the name of Otfa, king of Mercia-one of the three chief kingdoms of early England-and that that king first granted the privilege of an independent eecle- siastical coinage.
 The first archbishop to issue this money was ,Jaenberht, who oc. eupied the see from A. D. 766 to 790. All his coins bear Offa's name, while some bear his own. This prelate is noted in English history for his vigorous, though unsuccessful, attempt to resist King Offa's plan for destroying the power of the primatial see of Canterbury and transferring the primacy to q Mercian metropol- itan. \ synod was held in 7S7 a [ Chelsea, now part of London, and the archbishop was forced to give Up large portion of his prov ince to Higbert, bishop of Lich- field. who was raised to the rank of archbishop. Jaenberht's sue. cessor, Aethelheard GA. D. 193- S05), though elected in 791, did not receive the pallium till 793. Dur ing this interval he appears to have struck coins with the title of Pontifex instead of Arehiepisco- pus. His early coins bear the name of Offa. while those struck after 706 bear that of Coenwulf, who succeeded Offa as king of Mer- cia.
 Aethelheard's earlier pennies have, in addition to the name of 0tfa, q star, q cross. the Christian monogram, etc. This prelate was also bishop of Winchester-the ancient capital of England.

ARE EXTREMELY DELICATE.
Scientific Operations Necessary in Taking the Measurement
 of the Earth.

The science of geodesy is mak- ing rapid strides along the line of accuracy, and there is not much left to be perfected in the way of method. The all-important prob lem of modern, as we'll as ancient geodesy, of course, is the measure ment of the dimensions of the earth, which enters into all practical work of surveying, navigation and terrestrial phy- sics, says the Philadelphia Rec ord. The International geo. detic association several years ago undertook the problem, the different nations having agreed to contribute their share toward an accurate determination. As has already been recorded, the deter imitation was undertaken in Ecua- dor, i'll 1901, and extended from ;he Colombian to the Peruvian front fer, ad every possible refinement to attain the maximum degree of accuracy was adopted. The great est difficulty is to secure an accu- rate base line, which is eompli- cated by so apparently trivial thing as the expansion of the meas uring medium. The latest refine ment in the bar method is that or iginated by the United States coast and geodetic survey, using a single bar immersed in melting ice, the containing trough being carried on a suitable car upon temporary track. Later still, M. Guillaume discovered an alloy of 64 per cent. steel and 36 per cent. nickel possesses an exceedingly low coefficient of expansion, and, conseque 4tly, offers the best medi- um for accurate base line measure ments. This alloy is known as ''in- var,' and is usually employed in the form of wire supported by tripods and stretched by definite weight. A very valuable piece of work on the island of Spitzbergen was completed with the use of this alloyed wire.
 Even the infnitisimal variation in the force of gravity at different portions of the earth is not too in- significant to be disregarded, and must be determined and a correc- tion applied. This delicate deter imitation is made by observing the pressure of the atmosphere by the determination of the boiling point of water, and comparing the same with the barometric reading. the difference, if any. being considered due to a gravity upon the mercury.
