BOAT OF NEWSPAPERS.

G. w. johnson to Row From Florida to
New York In Paper Shell.
George W. Johnson, an old time Har-
lem river oarSman, now living in st.
Augustine, Fla, is constructing a pc
culiar boat in which he contemplates
rowing from st. Augustine to New
York via the inside rOute-through the
sounds, the bayous and canals-next
spring, says the New York Herald.
The boat is to be constructed of news
papers and to be in the form of a
shell, with little more beam than the
ordinary racing type. Mr.. Johnson
rowed from New York to Boston in
1883 in a somewhat similar craft The
length of the cruising shell is twenty
feet by twenty inches beam, six inches
deep, and it will have ten water tight
bulkheadS.
The boat Is to be constructed entire
" of newspapers. Mr.. Johnson hopes
to have in the craft a copy of every
daily paper in the United States.
About twenty thicknesses of paper are
to be used for the hull of the shell,
which will be made in a mold under
pressure, producing a composition
harder and tougher than any wood.
The deck will be similarly constructed
of paper, and the headings of the va
rious papers will be used as mosaic
for the outside coating.
The mold is all ready at Mr.. John
sons BAZAAR 301a st. George street, st.
AuoISfiup and aS som ac OowSnaOaPc
are sent in in sufficient quantity Mr..
Johnson will begin work on his novel
craft.

that the bear will be able to take care

hunters. Nr. Tyre has written to
North Adams friends suggesting that
mothers be cautioned to keep their

to watch their stock at that time. Mr..

Occasionally he put questions to candidates for ordination that appar' netly had no connection with the dis charge of their parochial duties.

One sucb question proposed by the bishop = $ the fol lowing: Which has th< greatest nun' beg of legs. q cat or no cat?'
 As might be expected. this created q litter. hut the bishop would not take a iau.h as tEe answer. and consequently h.. repeated the question and desircd -0Ii1c one to solve the problem. At last one of 1!!c candidates, smiling, said. "l should think. my lord cat"

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
 should be read carefully every person who reads the
GRAPHIC or any other newspaper.

We desire to call the attention of all subscribers to paragraph of Section 436 Postal Laws and Regua tions:
 "A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to renewal of subscription, but unless subscriptions are expressly renewed after the terms for which they are paid within the following periods: Dailes, THREE MONTHS, weeklies within NINE MONTHS they shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers and copies mailed account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at second class postage rate
 The foregoing law is self-explanaory. It makes 1t absolutely binding the Graphic to stop every sub scrpon to the Graphic that is past due nine months and every daily subscriber that past due three months less renewed within reasonable time. The regulations went into effect January 1908, but owing to the fact that previous notice had been given publishers, have been granted reasonable time to notify all such subscribers and give them chance to renew before stopping their paper
 Hence, earnestly call upon every of our sub scribers who past due to either call and settle mail the amount to extend his subscriptions required by the Post office department. aaM

He only nodded and lifted his hat as she went up
the steps, but instead of going to eat, he sat down
on bench outside, where there was shade, and
waited for her there rejecting the nature of his
new experience.
Like most successful men, he looked all theories
as trash, good enough to amuse clever idlers, but
never to be taken into consideration in real life
He never asked about the principle which any
invention was founded; his first and only question
was, Will it work." Considering himself as the
raw material, and the theater he had just left as
the mill, he was forced to admit that "Parsifal'

mere fact of being her. made the blood beat in
his throat.
That was only way of putting it; for there was
no sex in the music he had just heard. He had sat
so close to Margaret that their arms constantly
touched, yet he had forgotten that she was there.
If the music had been Tristan and Isolde" he
could not have been unaware of her for moment,
for that is the supreme music of Wagner's art.
But this different altogether different, though
it was even stronger than that.

theater. But she did not pass unnoticed, by any
Wagner's music who led the orchestra for other
operas too; there were kundrys and Brunhds
who condescended to be Toscas sometimes,
pure matter of business and livelihood, and there
were numberless people in the audience who pre-
ferred "Cavaleria Rusticana" to the "Meister-
singer" or the "Gotterdammerung, but would not
dare to say till they at safe distance and all
these admired the celebrated Cordova, except the
few that were envious of her, who were not many
She took Van Torp with her to the second per
formance which was held the next day, after
mpressing upon him that he was not to speak,
not to whisper, not to applaud. not to make any
sound, from the moment ne entered the theater
till he left it for the dinner interval. He was
far too happy with her to question anything
she said. and obeyed her scrupulously. Twenty
four hours earlier he would have laughed at the
idea that his presence beside her at such time
could be not only bearable, but sympathetic; yet
that seemed natural now The diva and the
forna miner, the sensitive, gifted capricious
and the iron jawed money wolf, had found that they
had something in common. Wagner's last music
affected them in the same way.
Such things are not to be explained, and could
not be believed if they did not happen again and
again before the eyes of those that know how

whisted to her. 1t grew while he sat beside her in

first to speak You have enjoyed it," she said.

Torp answered gravely.
She liked the reply for its simplicity. She had
perhaps expected that he would summon UP his
most picturesque language to tell her how much
