T.kinx No Chances,

A Glasgow steamer was laboring in 4
oeavy sea, the waves sometimes sweep
ing her decks. but the officers had as
sured the passengers that there was no
danger, and all seemed reasonably
calm with the exception of one meek
appearing little man. who every few
minutes would approach an officer and
anxiously inquire if he thought the ship
would founder.
NO, l tell your one of them finally
exclaimed, with impatience. What is
the matter with youf Look at those
other people-they are not scared to

"Oh, I'm not scared" the man re

ERRATlC ENGINES
Locomotives That Act as Though
They Were Bewitched.

You never see ship launched on Il
Friday, and similarly new locomotive
hardly ever makes a trial trip on that
day or on the 18th of the month. Even
though the superintendent may jeer at
the superstition. yet he knows too well
to set it at naught. for just as sailors
consider that some ships are unlucky
so do train hands credit certain loco
motives with a sort of demoniacal pos
session.
1t Is certainly very strange the diff
ference that may be observed between
two locomotives built from the same
plans. at the same time, of similar ma
terial. One goes on her way quietly
and smoothly, never breaks down, costs
little or nothing for repairs. The other
causes trouble from the very first, runs
off the line, kills the drivers. gets into
accidents of all kinds and generally
acts as though possessed by some evil
spirit.
There was famous instance some
years ago on the South Florida rail-
way. A locomotive killed so many peo-
pie that she got the name of ''the
hearse." and no fewer than three en-
gine drivers actually left the employ
of the company rather than continue
driving her. The odd thing was that
she never seemed to injure herself

Church Built of BuIrusben.

The first place of worship in Western
Australia was unique in two respects
the materials of which it was built and
also the several purposes to which it
was devoted. This remarkable building
was made at Perth by soldiers shortly
after their first arrival in 1929 and
was composed almost entirely of bull
rushes. In addition to Its use on Sun
days for divine worship, it occasional
ly served as an amateur theater dur
Ing the week and during the whole

this the trainer calls the animal TO him,

surprise. He thinks it is play, and he
comes jumping up again. After each
turn he is given Il small piece of meat.
