Martha pressed closer to his side, and
he bent and touched his lips to her
forehead.
The logs in the fireplace burned low,
and the room grew dim and vague and
mysterious in the uncertain light.
"The two cars followed the engine

from the engine setting them ablaze.

he said unsteadily, escaped unhurt."

"a feather in his cap" signifying
honor and distinction. arose from q
custom which was common am0ng the
Syrians and perpetHated to this day
among the various semicivilized people
of adding q new feather to the head
gear for every enemy slain. In the
days of chivalry the embryo knight re-
ceived his cOcque in feather1ess con-
dition, and then won his piumes as he
had won his spurs. In d manuscript
written by Richard Hansard in 1888
and carefully preserved in the British
museum is mentioned an ancient Hun
garian custom, that of allowing no
man to wear feather in his cap who
had not killed Turk. The Hungar-
ians had a law, which was In vogue
as late as 1912, which allowed warriors
to add feather to their headdress COZ
lection ''every time the claimant could
prove that he had succored a starving
Hungarian or had killed an ableb0dtad
Turk or other Moslem." These old Gus
toms are now obsolete. but it Ia inter
esting to know that there were once
such laws upon the statute books 06
nations thought to be civilized.

Buildink wreckers.

Perhaps NO band of men in the world
suffered such constant injuries, IL not
death, as the corps of building wreck

They visit a building which has been
Quilted by IRE, the tottering walls of
which are still standing and which &C
cordingiy are a menace to pedestrians.
1t 10 the business of these wreckers to
pull the walls down, and half hour
spent watching them at this work
brings the quick thrill as nothing else
In our humdrum urban civilization can.
They swarm over the swaying walls
with reckless impunity, fastening ropes
here and there, preparing for the long

We cannot, of course, measure heat
by yards, pints or pounds, but the unit
Of heat, the standard measure Of that
phenomenon, has been agreed upon by
those whose business it is to phileso-
phize on that subject to be that guam
tity which can raise pound Of water
one degree. Now, to turn a pound Of
water into pound Of steam it requires
967 Of these units Of heat-that il to
say, If we boil pound of water until
it all goes away in steam we shall have
used in doing 80 a quantity Of heat
which would have raised o6T peunAs
of water one degree higher in tempsEa-

Burned at the stake.

As late as the end of the eighteenth
century counterfeiters were publicly
burned at the stake In London. On
March 49, 1889, Christianie Murphy
was executed at Newgate tower, Lon
don, for the crime of coming" She
was bound to the stake seated on a
stool, the main tie being cord around
the neck. The funeral pyre was then
lighted by the executioner and his dep
uties, one of the latter of whom finally
Jerked the stool from under the wretch
ed creature, allowing the weight to fall
on her neck. Within forty Weight min
utes the body was entirely reduced to
ashes and buried in hole on the spot
where the execution took place.

The tortoises and estriges hatch their

The African ostrich, from which the
BEST white feathers are obtained,
stands six or seven feet high and
weighs from so to 100 pounds. Its egg
Is equal to about two dozen hens eggs.
Its feathers sell In Africa for about
500 a pound at wholesale. While
walking quietly its step is about twen-
ty-six inches, but when frightened the
stride increases to about twelve feet.
and at this gait it can run something
like twenty-five miles an hour. When
pursued 1t sometimes turns and deals
the pursuer a blow with the foot that
makes him think Of the kick OF mule.
The African ostrich is the largest bird
now existing on earth. The American
ostrich is only about half the size Of
the African and has three toes, while
the African bird has only two. The
