his only child of consumption. His
child is now in this country, and en-

three children, Homer, aged six years;
Louise, aged three years, and baby
of six months were burned to death

Charles Mowry, the husband and

rushed back, but the flames had made
such Roadway that he could not enter
the house and his calls through the
windows to his family brought no re-
spouse.

three children were suffocated to
death while asleep.

AN ECHO.
How to Measure the Distance From
which 1t Is Reflected.

How to Measure the Distance From
Which 1t Is Reflected.
There is scarcely anything in nature
that exerts the fascination over every
one alike than does an echo, and COM
mon as 1t may become there is always
feeling of mystery about 1t that holds
US as with a charm. OF course we all
know that it is merely the reflection
of u sound from some object. as the
side of house or Il rock or hill, but
often we cannot tell how far away the
object is that causes it. Here is way
to tell every time:
Holding a watch in your hand, shout
a single syllable, as "Hor' or "Ha!'
and count the number Of seconds from
the time you shout till the sound comes
back to you. Now, sound travels al
the rate of l 1,125 feet a second, so the
number of seconds that elapse multi
piled by 1,125 will give the distance in
feet travelled by the voice in going to
the object and back to you again, and
one-half of that number will be the
number of feet AWAY that object is.
OF course the object may be only Il
few hundred feet away, in which case
the sound will come back in less than
q second, but you may determine the
distance, nevertheless, by calling 4
single syllable-"Har'-and calling it
again as you hear the echo, not before
or after it, but just with it.
With a little practice you can do this.
Repeat the call ten or twelve times,
counting the seconds between the first
call and the last echo. Suppose, for
example, that the time is seven sec
onds and that you called the syllable
tenths of a second, and the distance,
found in the same way as before, is
about 394 feet-Exchange.

Ghost or IIIusiOus

A minister of the gospel, according
to this tale, was walking to and fro in
n long passage that ran through the
house and meditating upon his next
sermon. There brushed by him Il
housemaid. He watched her pass and
enter his study. Fearing that she
would disarrange his papers, he hurried
after her, went into his study-and no
one was there. No means of egress
was possible but by the one door

maid came down from the top Of the
house, where she had been performing
her duties. And the unusual part of
the story is that nothing happened
no one sickened and died. The young
woman married happily. And yet that
minister of the gospel is sure that he
saw that housemaid pass him. Nor to
this day does his stout and happy ma
tron know that she was ever in two

The Japanese Way.

1t is said that the Japanese are an
ingenious race, but it appears to the
occidental mind that there are limits
to this boasted ingenuity. An ento-
mologist in q New York college tells
the Reader Magazine of Il case where a
trusted japanese assistant failed him
in a moment where singular ingenuity
was required. The scientist had tray
of carefully arranged end minute speci-
mems and was carrying it from one
table to another, when he stumbled on
4 protruding chair leg and partly fell,
scattering the specimens over the floor.
Many hours of work were in 4 second
quite undone. Some seryiceable and
hard worked expletive must have leap
ed to his lips and then proved made
Quate to the occasion, for, after preg-
nant moment of silence, he turned to
the Japanese and said:
''Tell me, quick, what would you say
In japanese if such a thing happened
TO you? Give me the translation in
stantly."
"Ah,' said the japanese scientist,
with calm gravity, 1--WE would ad-
dress the chair and say, You are very
impolite.'"

A Great Stamp Forgery.

The most colossal stamp forgery on
record entailed the successful swim
ding of collectors throughout Europe
in 1889. One day the French papers
announced that King Marie l. of Sc
dang, an island in the vicinity of Chi
ma, was coming to Paris. As it hap
pened, this self created monarch was
an eX-ofiicer of the French navy, and
his appearance in Paris created con-
siderable sensation, AS soon as his
majesty had been duly advertised"
sets Of seven different postage stamps
marked "Sedang' and bearing three
half moons appeared, and so great was
the demand for them that in less than
Il month they realized 1000 francs
each Not until the king and his min
listers had reaped fat fortunes in this
manner was it discovered that the
whole thing was a hoax and the stamps
consequently worthless.

A story which used to be related
years ago had to do with an incident
which happened in Sierra county, Cal,
the principal actor in which was Judge
SearlS of the district court.
The judge was on his way from
Nevada to Plumas county. At Downie-
vile there were two young lawyers
who had agreed to argue motion
when the judge arrived. Then, as time
was pressing and both lawyers were
also going to Piumas, it was decided to
ride along and carry on the argument
by the way.
Up the mule trail from Downieville
to Monte Cristo, down to Oak Ranch
and so on to Eureka the argument pro-
ceeded. At Eureka the case was exam
ined with the aid of refreshments, and
in due time decision was reached.
The loser consoled himself with the
thought that he had ascended the
mountain without being conscious Of
the grade.
Possibly the mule felt it as usual"
suggested the judge.
Il think from the result that he, too,
was absorbed in helping to make up
the opinion" said the lawyer.

WATCHING THE BUILDERS
Fire Insurance Folks Keep an Eye
on Construction Methods.


4 builder speaking of the watchful-
ness of fire insurance companies in
New York city in the erection of build
ings in that city says:
Insurance companies in placing poll
cies upon so called fireproof buildings
do not accept the word of the builders
and contractors, nor rest content with
the evidence submitted by the city
building department. Their own eX-
perts make an examination. Such an
examination is made not at the behest
of politicians or in the interest of 4
group of men, but by technical experts
whose reports must be exact, detailed
and exhaustive in the interests of
shrewd business men. The insurance
underwriters have their own corps of
expert engineers and flreproof agents
in the field all of the time. When
large building is in course of con-
struction in New York these experts of
the underwriters watch every stage of
the development. They have no power
to stop work on the building as city
building inspectors have when the
building laws are not complied with,
but they possess another sort of check
which is fully as effectual. The build
ers, contractors or owners, or all three,
are notified that further insurance poll
cies will not be made on the building
until certain remedies are made."-

TELESCOPES.
The Difference between Rehectin q
and RefractinE Kinds.

and Rcfra citing Kinds.
A very pretty little experiment which
illustrates the two methods of forming
an optical image and by way of cor
ollary illustrates the essential differ
ence between refracting and rejecting
telescopes may be performed by any
one who possesses n reading glass and
4 magnifying hand mirror. In room
that is not too brightly Illuminated pin
4 sheet of white paper on the wall op-
poSite to a window that by preference
should face the north or away from the
position of the sun. Taking first the
reading glass, hold it between the Win
dow and the wall parallel to the sheet
of paper and foot or more distant
from the latter. BY moving it 10 and
fro a little you will be able TO find n
distance corresponding TO the focal
length of the lens, at which a picture
of the window is formed on the paper
This picture, or image, will be upside
down because the rays of light cross
at the focus. BY moving the glass a
little closer to the wall you will cause
the picture of the window to become
indistinct, while a beautiful image of
the houses, trees or other objects of the
outdoor world beyond will be formed
upon the paper. We thus learn that the
distance of the image from the lens va
ries with the distance of the object
whose image is formed. In precisely q
similar manner an image is formed at
the focus Of the object glass of a re
fracting telescope.
Take next your magnifying or con-
cave mirror, and, detaching the sheet
of paper from the wall, hold it nearly
in front of the mirror between the lat
ter and the window. When you have
adjusted the distance to the focal
length of the mirror, you will see an
image of the window projected on the
paper. By varying the distance as be-
fore you will be able to produce at will
pictures of nearer or more remote OBJ
jects. 1t is in this way that images are
formed at the focus of the mirror of
rejecting telescope.
