SOAP BUBBLES.
How Some Pretty and Marvellous Eff
fects May Be Produced.

/ fects May Be Produced.
There are degrees of skill In all pas
times, but one would hardly think that
there were specialists in the art OF
blowing soap bubbles. An article In
the Windsor Magazine by Meredith Nj
gent, however, shows that some very
pretty and marvellous effects may be
obtained by the exercise of care and
patience with soap and water
The first step is TO make a solution
by rubbing pure white CASTLE soap into
bowl partly filed with water until a
lather has been formed Then remove
every particle Of lather, dip clay pipe
into the cleared solution and start to
blow a bubble
If you can blow one six inches in d.
ameter SO that 1t will hang suspended
from the pipe and will allow your fore
finger covered with the solution to be
pushed through into the bubble with
out breaking, then the mixture Is ready
for use
Six bubbles may be blown, one inside
the other This Is performed by dip
ping the end Of q straw In the soapy
water and after resting the wet end
upon an inverted plate or sheet of
glass. which should have been previ-
ously wet with the solution. blow Il
bubble six inches in diameter
Then dip the straw into the solution
again, carefully thrust it through into
the center of this first bubble and blow
another. Continue in this manner until
all the bubbles are In position. Great
care must be taken that the straw is
thoroughly wet with solution for fully
half It's length before each bubble IS
blown. With practice ten or twelve
bubbles may be placed inside of one
another.

A CLERKS BLUNDER.
Its Effect Upon the Fortunes CT Our
Revolutionary War.


The element Of chance Us exempii-
ied in the blunder Of copyist had an
important bearing on the result of our
war for independence. AS is well
known. the crisis of the military be-
tween Great Britain and the revolving
colonies was reached when General
Burgoyne's campaign was planned in
London The object was to strike n
tremendous blow at the center of the
Revolution The British forces were
to take possession OF the Mohawk and
Hudson valleys by a concentric march
from Lake Champlain, Oswego and
New York on converging lines toward
Albany. The ascent of the Hudson by
Sir William Howe's army was essen
tial to the success of scheme by
which New England was to be cut off
as by wedge from the southern colo
MES.
Orders were sent out from London
for the advance of Burgoyne's and st.
Leger's forces from Canada. At first
Sir William Howe was merely inform
ed of the plan and was armed with
discretionary powers. but finally a dis
patch was drafted positively ordering
him to cooperate In the movement
from New York.
\ British clerk made hasty and
very careless copy of the dispatch,
which the minister. Lord George Ger
maine. found great difficulty in read
lug He angrily reprimanded the cul-
prit and ordered u fresh copy to be
made without flaw or erasure. Being
pressed for time and anxious for a
holiday. Lord George posted off to the
country without waiting for the fresh
copy.
The military order was laboriously
copied In the clerks best hand, but
when II was finished the minister was
not there 10 sign 1t. 1t was pigeon
holed and overlooked when he returned
and was not sent 10 America until long
afterward. Howe. being left with full
discretion. allowed himself to be drawn
into military operations against Wash

from retreat and forced TO surrender

Twice as many more crimes will be
laid at their doors by the detectives
who, after veritable reign Of terror

accomplice, and nine-year-old girl,
their go-between, into custody.
"a long series Of daring robberies, in
which at least two lives we're lost and
which extended over all South Jersey
for two years, are blamed upon these
women. Among these are the famous
robberies in which the mysterious red

Confessions have been made by the

pose OF the mass OF stolen goods
Acting as an accomplice Of Biz

Benjamin Franklin Thorn, a night
watchman. But so remarkable are the
circumstances under which he became
involved in the chain Of robberies
that, by common consent. he has been
released on parole, and in all proba-
hhility will not be prosecuted.
According to the story which he
tells, and which is corroborated by
Blizzard, he became an accomplice
OF MON Blizzard only through
threats Of blackmail made by her
after he had stolen food for her to
save her daughter from starvation.
In his confession to Detective Lord
the old man tells Of how, on wintry
night last January, Nom" Blizzard
came to him leading half.frozen
child by the hand, and appealed for
money, saying that the child was dy-
ing. When Thorn told her he had
none, she begged him to steal some
provisions and milk for her to save
the infants life. The old man did so.
Ever since that time, by threats Of
informing his employers and causing
his discharge and disgrace, the old
woman has forced the old man, he
says, to be an accomplice In her rob
berries and to help dispose OF the
stolen goods.
Mrs. Blizzard was caught returning
from one OF her numerous visits to the
plant OF the Arctic Ice and Milk com
pany in company with Blizzard. She
had on her male clothing. They were
