MOON CAUSES CRIME.
outrases Laid at Her Door by Sir
Conan Doyle.

S0ndN y0OylCs
Sir Conan Doyle having successive
'ly cleared two innocent men charged
with the preparation of the horrible
cattle manning outrages at Great
Wyrley, in Hertfordshire, seems at
length to have brought home the
crime to one of those numerous Great
ures with unbalanced minds who
should be kept under severe restraint,
but who are allowed to remain at
liberty, owing to the fact that their
dementia seizes them merely at stat
ed epochs, and is restricted to GER
tain class of acts, leaving them in an
absolutely normal frame of mind at
all other times and in all other par
ticulars. Sir Conan. by means of
Sherlock Holmes" lines of investiga-
ton, first ascertained the significant
fact that the crimes in question, SO
falsely ascribed to the unfortunate
Edalji, were invariably committed
when the moon was full. This con.
WINGED him that he had to deal with
a lunatic, for, as an Elizabethan dram
atist puts it, when the moons III
the full then wits in the wane," and
there is no doubt that the old sup
erstition to the effect that the moon
causes and aggrayates insanity has
some foundation for its existence. In.
deed, the very word "lunatic" testi-
fies to it, since the word, etymologi
cally considered, means moonstruck.
Sir Conan Doyle's discovery will now
render this conviction as to the pow.
ers of the full moon more pronounced
than ever.

3. Then, with a scream of protest
from the whistle of the tug ringing in
my ears, sank down in old Jacks
chair nearly unconscious: When L
came fully to my senses again, found
that the gang of rascals, not knowing
with whom they had to contend, l
suppose. had become frightened, had
abandoned the schooner, and, escap-
ing with the tug under the closed
draw, had gone down the river out of
sight and hearing. The Schooner had
drifted down with the current and
struck the bridge, slightly damaging
her spars.
There was a telephone in the
bridge-tender's BOOTH A message to
the night operator at the station in
the village brought down, an hour
later. launch containing doctor
for me and five constables. However,
the tug had been gone so long when
they arrived that the officers made
no search for it.

spirators were The Waterman at the
shipyards had been overpowered from
behind, and left bound and gagged.
He recognized none of his assailants.
"The schooner was towed back to
the yards the next day and repaired.
A week later member of the firm
of ship-owners appeared and, with pro-
fuse apologies for the delay, paid the
full amount due upon the schooner.
Thus the incident closed. but my
uncle has since made it a point to
have no more business dealings with
that firm of ship-owners. Youths

Asked fora strinr

The dear girls were comparing notes
on subjects Of more or less Importance.
Your beau seems rather bashful,"
said Stella.
"Bashful" echoed Mabel. "Why,
bashful Is no name for it."
"Why-,don't you encourage him?
queried her friend.
II have tried" answered Mabel, "but
the attempt was measly failure. Only
last night l sat all alone on the sofa
and he perched up in chair as far
away as he could get. 1 asked him If
he didn't think 1t strange that the
length of mans arm was the same
as the distance around a woman's
waist, and what do you think he did?"
"Just what any sensible man would
have done-tried it, l suppose"
mot any, thank you. He asked If
could find piece of string SO we could
measure and see If 1t was a fact. Amt

cAlssoN WORK.

How Foundations Of Great Steel
Structures Are Built.
The foundations for the great steel
structures are built by means of cais-
sons in which the men can work I'M
der great pressure of air. 1t is
very interesting sight to watch them,
and the best of 1t is that any one
may see them at close range from an
adjoining sidewalk. The caisson is
hollow steel cylinder open at the
bottom and just large enough to per
init a man to work. The workman
climbs down ladder in this tube and
digs away the earth at the bottom.
As the earth is taken away the steel
tube is gradually lowered. The earth
ic taken out by bucket, which is
lowered and raised by tall derrick
at one side. AS the caisson sinks,
air is pumped into the compartment
containing the man. This is to force
back any water or dirt that might
fill the hole from the outside as fast
as the workman removes it from
within. The pressure of this air is
often so great that man can work
but an hour or SO at a time. At the
top of the caisson is steel cylinder
with an air tight door at either end
which serves as a kind of vestibule to
the tube below.
When one of the caisson workers
starts to go to work he opens the
door or lid at the top and climbs in,
when the opening is once more tight
ly closed. This door or lid is air
tight. After the opening to the out
er air has been closed the workman
opens the door at the bottom of this
steel compartment and lets in COM
pressed air from the caisson below.
1t takes a few minutes to become ac-
customed to breathing this atmos-
phere. for the heavy air makes the
head ring. AS soon as the workman
can do so he climbs down into the
funnel below, closing the lower door
of the steel ante.room as he does so.
ALI this must, be, done in the dark.
If the workman wishes to signal the
outer world he may do SO by striking
the steel side of his narrow prison
with his shovel He usually signals
In this way when the bucket is to be
raised or lowered.-From Frances

HER LITTLE MISTAKE.

he held the blade up for her nearer
