IT WAS NOT WATTY
MRS. 6uRGE OVER HAsTY IN AD-
MiNlsTERING PUNISHMENT.
Little Happening In Minister'S Home
Had Elements Of Humor for
All But the Two Chief
Participants.

FEARS ago there lived in Somerville,
Mass, the Rev. Mr.. Burge, a minis
ter of the Methodist church His
young eight-year-old hopeful, Watty,
was addicted to the habit of purloin-
ing sugar from closet Remon-
STRANGE by father and mother proved
OF no avail, and though Watty protest
ed his innocence. the old lady said
she would watch for, catch and chas-
tise him.
Rev. DR.. Gloss, then presiding elder
OF the conference district, in passing
through the section, halted at Mr..
Burgess to spend the night. He was
assigned to room adjoining the
closet which was the scene of young
Watty's depredations.
At dawn on the following morning
the reverend gentleman arose and re-
paired to his closet to attend to his
mornings devotion, and. unfortunate
ly for him, knelt near the usual posi-
ton of the sugar dish. At this mo-
ment Mrs. Burge had occasion to
visit the closet, and, quietly opening
door, discovered what she supposed

The Air Wise.

pliances, when, one day, C.. c. Perry,
of Houston, Tex, assistant foreman
of the shop, conceived the idea of
an air wise. He accordingly made
the device shown in the sketch. An
old wise, A, in which the screw had
become nearly worn out, was con-
nected to the air brake cylinder, B,
in such way that the air entering
the cylinder brought the jaws of the
wise together. When the air was re-
leased the spring in the cylinder
would open the jaws again.
The air in this arrangement, says
Popular Science, is controlled by a
three-way cock, G. which is operated
by the foot levers, D. A wise arranged
in this way is not suitable for small
work. as there is danger of injuring
the hands, but for heavy work, which
has to be changed frequently, it is
great labor saver.

BELTS MADE OF MEDALS.
Trophies of Athletic Skill of Young
Woman's Fiancee.

Probably the most remarkable belt
worn by any woman in New York is
one consisting of 16 gold medals, each
of which represents first prize in an
athletic contest won by the wearer's
fiance, the two medals forming the
clasp standing for national champion
ships. The making of this belt was
formidable task for the jeweler who
got it up, owing to the fact that the
fastening together of the 16 medals
had to be done with unusual care,
since the liberal use of enamel made
the business of brazing on the gold
eyelets for the connecting links la
borious process. The young woman
who wore the belt was of the opinion
that she had the only thing of the
kind in the country until she went
to set of games at Trayers island
within week and discovered that an
other medal-winner in the New York
Athletic club had similar adornment
made for his fiancee.

The Velocity of Liqht.

Light moves with the amazing vel
ocity of $4,000 miles second,
speed million times as great as that
of rife bullet. 1t would make the
circuit of the earth's circumference, at
the equator, seven times in one beat
OF the pendulum. For a long time the
light was thought to be instantaneous
but it is now known to have a meas.
urable velocity. The discovery was
first made by means of the eclipses of
Jupiter's satellites. Jupiter, like the
earth, casts shadow, and when his
moons pass through it, they are
eclipsed, just as our moon is eclipsed
when passing through the earth's
shadow. Jupiter's shadow far sur.
passes in magnitude that of the earth.
His moon revolves around him more
rapidly than our moon revolves around
the earth, and their orbits are nearly
in the plane of the planets orb. Con-
sequentiy, says the Hesperian, they
all. with the exception of the fourth
and most distant satellite, pass
through the planets shadow and are
eclipsed at every revolution.
