An Unexpected Owner.

Nearly all the giddy youth Of the
ne1ghborhood attended the charity
bazaar, and one by one they drifted to
stall where tiny, shapely, scented
gray kid glove reposed on a satin
cushion. Attached to the cushion was
a notice written in a delicate feminine
hand, which ran, ''The owner of this
glove will, at 7:30 this evening, be
pleased ia kiss any person who pur-
chases sixpenny ticket beforehand"
Tickets were purchased by the score,
and at 7:30 long row Of sheepish, not
to say doggish, young bloods were as
sembled outside the stall - : u. :
Then, punctual to the moment, old
Tom Person, the local pork butcher,
who weighs twenty stone and is al.
most as beautiful as side of bacon,
stepped to the front of the stall.
"Now, young gents" he said in his
best "buy, buy, buy" tones, "this ERE
glove belongs to me. I bought it this
morning. Now I'm ready for you.
Come on. Don't be bashful. One at
time!" -. -

DISABLED VESSEL PICKED UP

HAMILTON, BERMUDA. ..

Hamilton, Bermuda, Jan. 12.-The
overdue steamer Ponce of the New
York and Porto Rico Steamship COM
pany, which left Porto Rico Dec. 26
for New York, was towed in here dur
ing the day by steamer which picked
her up disabled. A broken shaft was
the cause of her delay. The Ponce
had on board seven passengers and
crew Of flfty-two men. She carried a
cargo of sugar, oranges, molasses and
general merchandise ..I..'
At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of
Dec. 30 the tail end Of the shaft of
the Ponce broke and she drifted at the
mercy of the wind and current until
the night of Jan. T.. when she was
sighted by the German steamer Eliza
beth Rickmers, from Philadelphia for
Japan. At $50 p. m. the Ponce sent
up rocket and few minutes later
the German vessel altered her course
and headed for the disabled steamer.
The Rickmers reached the Ponce at 7
p. M, but as the night was dark and
the weather stormy the captain de-
cided to stand by the Ponce until day
light. At 9 o'clock in the morning of
Jan. S the Rickmers got two hawsers
on board the Ponce and soon after
wards began to tow her towards Ber-
muda.
The two steamers were then $40
miles from Bermuda. The tow proved
to be heavy strain. During the night
of the 9th both hawsers parted in
heavy gale and the Rickmers hove to
the rest of the night. The morning
of the 10th the German steamer sent
two new lines ON board the Ponce and
no further trouble was experienced.

Fire Destroys or Damages Number Of
Tobacco Warehouses.

Lancaster, Pa, Jan. pa fire
which started in the tobacco ware
house of S. R. Moss & Co. here spread
to adjoining property and caused a
loss estimated at $1,000,000. The
structure was a four-story brick and
was we'll filled with tobacco The
flames communicated to the Moss
cigar factory adjoining, five-story
brick building, which was also de-
stroyed. When the south wall Of the
cigar factory collapsed the only truck
Of the fire department was buried in
the debris and a number of firemen
had narrow escapes from death or in
jury. The loss on the warehouse is
placed at 100000 and on the cigar
factory at 100000. The warehouse
of the American Cigar company to the
north of the Moss buildings caught
fire, but was not greatly damaged It
is feared the loss on the contents will
be very heavy from water and smoke.
To the east of the cigar factory five
dwellings were completely ruined.
The fire department turned almost it's
entire attention to the warehouses of
Morris Levy, Kramer & Goldberg and
John Brimmer, which were being
licked by the flames. None Of them
cought fire, but their contents were
damaged by the water and smoke.

The Under Side Of Fish,

Inc UnOcr S1Oe Oh FISH,
Experiments have been made with
founders In order to determine whether
the whiteness Of the under sides Of
those fish is due to the exclusion Of
light, and the presence Of color on their
upper sides to exposure to light. The
hsh experimental upon were kept liv.
Ing in glass tank, having a mirror
placed beneath, so as to reflect light
upon the under sides Of the fish. One
OF these prisoners survived for three
years under conditions so strangely diff
ferent from it's ordinary habits of life,
and all Of them exhibited the develop
ment Of spots Of pigment on their lower
surfaces. The experimenters conclud-
ed that it is exposure to light that
causes the coloration of the upper
parts of the bodies, not only Of foun-
ders, but Of other fish, and, conversely,
that it is to the comparative absence
Of light that the wilderness of under
sides of fish Is due. They extend the
same principle to explain the colorless
condition of the skins Of many animals
that pass all their lives in caves. V
