"Quite recently" says an English
journal, "the heat of the sun has been
reproduced in an electric furnace, and
Sir James Dewar has obtained the cold

A German botanlst, o. Kuntze, has
pointed out that a certain specimen Of
taxodium at Oaxada, Mexico, which
heretofore has been considered the big
gest tree in the world, having a diam
eter of IL meters, consists in reality Of
three trees which grew into one.
Trials to test the ammunition-carry-
Ing capabilities of motor cars in war
time have recently been going on be-
tween Berlin and Kiel. According to
report, three cars transported alto

and this Is considered satisfactory.
A Swiss engineer has perfected a
new fire escape. 1t consists of a series
of folding ladders attached to window

In study, which purports to be en-
tirely scientific, of the alleged connec-
ton between the physical and mental
character of an individual and his
handwriting, Mons. Solame Pellat, an
expert attached to the Tribunal Of the
Seine, Paris maintains that distinct
relations exist between the handwrit-
ing and the voice. An expert, he de-
clares, can determine from the hand
writing whether the writer's voice is
high or low In pitch, sonorous or yelled,
harsh, or soft and agreeable. But he
remarks that In all cases where 1t is
sought to determine character from
handwriting, great pains should be
taken to choose for examination only
writing that has been done under nor
NAL conditions.
Among the industries that have been
profoundly modified by the advent Of
electricity into daily use Is that of
making porcelain. Formerly artistic
considerations alone governed the vari-
GUS operations of the worl1men in por-
celain, but now, since this substance is
employed for insulators in all electric
installations, scientific processes have
been introduced in Its manufacture
which demand a great deal of special
attention. The exact amount of con-
traction that the clay undergoes, the
exact temperature to which 1t is sub
mitted in the process of baking, the
constant employment of instruments
for measuring the temperature and for
determining the size of certain pieces
such are among the essentials in the
modern art Of porcelain-making for
electric purposes.

When the Boss Fired Him He Ex-
planned His Little System of Fines.
The proprietor is telling 1t on him
self, but somehow it doesn't make him
laugh so loudly as his hearers do
This Is the story as told by the saloon
owner, according to the Kansas C,tv
Times:
81 had to discharge my barkeener
for good and sufficient reasons a short
time ago. And this is what he handed
me:
All right, III CO. but I've fined Won

guess we're quits

Well he says you're not ALWAYS

told me to go to blazes when I've wish

any one could on $14 per. Now, haven't
you?
well, had to admit Tits the

Just So says my ,barkeep, putting
on his coat, and every time you did It
1 fined you a quarter. Then occasion
ally you'd call me down for being ten
minutes late, and you didn't do it in
a soothing manner, either. That al
ways cost you half dollar, and You
were getting off easy at that, I've had
good many discussions with myself
about my leniency. Lots of times I've
said to myself: "Brace up now and
don't be so chicken-hearted." But the
half-dollar fine always stood for that
particular offense.
zone dollar was the penalty for
keeping me from going to lunch at my
regular hour, and it occurred pretty
often If you'll stop to think. Two dol
lars was the price for making me
swab down the floor, which amt got
no place in a barkeeper's list of duties.
I got five for being called a liar, with
ten on top of that for having to re-
strain myself from handing you one

when rney were close to ehs mail rustic
building shs stopped
Go on alone" she said. and without
another word Jack strobe down the path
With gasp OF fear, Shsila followed
him What would he do, what would
no do? Cold as ice. yet burning with
fever so terrible that 1t almost choked
him, Jack passed down the path. Els
brain was on fire.
Audrey was there-Audrey, his pure
love, his darling, his wife On all sides
she had been discussed, none had spoken
kindly. What was this awful thing that
had come upon them?
AS he reached the door Of the summer
house he was trembling In every limb.
His lips opened to call her name. then
closed with a fierce curse. Another man
was speaking it passionately, wildly.
Audrey, my love, my lore, my darl-
ing!'
With his strong right hand Jack struck
back the door and stood there, In the
dim light-a tall, avenging angel.
Audrey, with one hand pressed against
the wall, was standing before him. At
her feet knelt Beverley Rochfort, clasp
ing the other hand, and kissing 1t as he
appeared before them, Audrey gave one
great cry.
Jack Jack ! Thank heaven you have
come
Beverley Rochfort rose to bis feet
with a low laugh. He was no coward.
like Sheila. He rather hoped there would
be some excitement now.
Jack was silent scarcely moment |;
he never even glanced at the man; he
looked straight at his wife.
1.-THE carriage Is waiting for you, Lady
John" he said in a voice which Audrey
had never heard from his lips before ut
Is time for you to return to your home"
Audrey looked at her husband out of
her great, blue eyes, all dlstraught as
they we're. For the moment she had for
gotten his treachery at Joy in his coming.
Now, as with one heavy blow, 1t all re
turned to her. The end had surely como
when he could speak to her like this,
and how terrible was the way In which
he stared at her. She had not strength
to move a limb or utter a sound
Il request that you accompany me to
the carriage at once" Jack said, this
time quite fercely.
Audrey drew her domino about her.
Vaguely she felt that, bad as the horizon
Of her life had looked a short hour ago,
1t was doubly worse now. She did not
comprehend Jacks manner, but 1T hurt
her to the quick. That be should speak
to her like this, and before that odious,
horrible mani She put out both her
hands. Fear of Beverley drove away her
Jealous pangs.
Eyes, yes; take me home. am ready
to go. I entreat you to take me p
Jack stood on one side for her to pass,
and as he faced Beverley Rochfort alone
for an instant, he said very quietly:
Either your life or mine answers for
this nights work. You understand"
Perfectly" smiled Beverley, but he
frowned the next moment
A duel! This was not what he had
anticipated. Andrew did not catch the
hurried words. and. as she walked away
beside her husband, she was too deeply
miserable to think Of anything but that
a cloud had fallen on her life; that
Jacks love had gone from her. and she
was the most wretched girl on earth.
