A Floating Furnace.

Many a mysterious disappearance at
sea is believed to have been caused by
fire in the coal bunkers, the discovery
coming too late TO admit OF the fire
being mastered. For instance, fire
broke out on the Ada Iredale, a vessel
engaged In the China trade which
many years ago set sail from a Scot
fish port for San Francisco, carrying
q cargo of coal. When the vessel was
some 1000 miles from the Marquesas
islands, in the Pacific ocean, the cargo
was found to be on fire. All efforts to
extinguish the eonfagration were fruit
less, and the crew was driven to the
boats. The ship, by this time float
ing furnace, was left to its fate and
drifted, still burning, distance OF
2.42o miles, to Tahiti. Finally taken
in tow. she was conveyed safely into
port where for more than a year her
cargo still smoldered.

Industrious Firemen.

Some Of the sacred fires of India
have been burning for twelve cen
turtles and promise to continue to send
forth cheerful glow as long as the
man who pays for the fuel is willing
to keep putting up the price.
That is a long time to keep a fire go
ing in one spot, and the janitor who
wheels out the ashes must have quite
pile in the back lot by this time, but
think what a snap it would be to have
q fireman like that about the place
during the cold winter evenings.
The man of the house could go
peacefully to sleep at night without be-
ing haunted by the annoying certainty
that some one would poke him sharply
in the ribs at $50 and say, "John,
hadn't you better get up and see about
the fire."
Life would certainly be filed with
more joy for the man who banks his
fire regularly at night and blanks it in
the morning as a part of the routine of
his life.

Power of Imagination.

1t is conceded by scientists that
imagination has much power as a
curative agent. A concrete example
occurred in the experience of Sir Hum
phry Davy. A man went to him suf-
fering from paralysis TO be treated by
electricity. When the patient had
seated himself Davy. as a preliminary,
placed a small glass thermometer be-
meath his tongue to take his tempera-
ture. The sick man thought that this
was the instrument for curing him
and declared that he felt 1t run
through all his system. Dayy. curious
to see what lasting effect the magma
ton would exert, did not undeceive
the man. but sent him away, telling
him to return daily to have the treat
ment repeated. The man did as he
was told and returned daily to sit In q
chair with the end of d little Their
mometer tucked beneath his tongue.
In few days the paralysis was COM
pletely cured by the patients own
imagination.

AGE LIMIT CHANGED.

In the Official circular issued on the
Pennsylvania lines east. it is announced
that the age limit has been raised from
50 to 40 years. This has been decided
upon on account of the shortage of
competent railroad trainmen. which has
been worrying the roads for some time
especially the Pennsylvania, and from
the fact that efficient mon who are now
taken in by the new limit, can be
secured more readily than by the old.
This rule has been strictly adhered to
since its going into effect some years
ago. it being almost impossible for
man to secure work with the PennsyI-
vania roads that was over IS years of
age unless he had some special qualities
which were desired. or had been in the
employ OF the road before.

To begin with, she was easily the
prettiest girl at Lake Wahconset inn.
Then, again, she was Mrs. Bakers
niece. and Jimmy Marshall had known
Mrs. Baker since he was a little boy,
for she and his mother were old
friends. So it became the natural
thing for him to row with her and
dance with her and take her on long
drives in his touring car; not that be
particularly admired her, he assured
himself, but he liked to row and dance
and motor, and she was company. Be
sides, she was a nice enough little
thing, and it was less trouble to ask
her than to hunt up another girl; then.
too it probably pleased Mrs. Baker to
have him pay her niece some little at
tention.
So. considering that all girls bored
him and he had no inclination to pay
serious attentions to any Of them. 1t is
not to be wondered at that he was first
amused, then annoyed, when Mrs. Ba-
ker, who was a simple, lovable soul,

eddy. ''She's a mighty nice girl, and Of
course I like her immensely, but as far
as being in love with her is concerned
most certainly am not"
He glanced at Mrs. Bakers plump,
troubled features. whatever put such
an idea in your head?" he demanded.

people act nowadays. And of course l

gayly, "for such an idea has never en-

Baker doubtfully. There was a per
picked frown on her usually placid
face He glanced at her sharply. Was
it possible that Priscilla attached more
Importance to their friendship than he
did? That was the worst of girls-they

had grown to care for him before she

course, poor little girl! She must new

1t would be hard enough for her when
she found how Indifferent he was with

and hands thrust deep IN the pockets

Mrs. Baker also was troubled. In the
workings of her simple mind two and

himself increasingly to Priscilla. Why
should he have done so unless he We're

were always in love with Priscilla, He
was proud and would naturally deny
it-dear boy! She would speak to Prls-

friend. and Priscilla should not hirt
