A Little but Costly Error.

Through very simple mistake bust
ness man Of this city was forced tC
spend a good wad of his tightly held
cash the other night. He was scheduled
to take his wife to the theater. Busi
ness took him to New York in the day
time, so he told his wife, as he was leav-
ing the house, that he would try to get
tickets and would let her known before
getting on the train. After securing the
tickets he forgot all about informing
his wife, and when he arrived in New
York he suddenly remembered and sent
this telegram: tHaye gotten tickets
NIeet at Broad street station" When he
came back to town he was met by his
wife and eight other relatives and
friends, all ready for the theater. We're
all here, waiting for you" cried lis
wife; its so good of you to invite 50
many" why, what do you meanE
asked the amazed husband. Here's
your telegram" answered the wife, and
there it was as large as life, just as the
telegrapher had made it: "Have got

Novel Uses of Ice.

A government expert has devised a
novel method of keeping a car or com
partment comparatively warm in zero
weather; not by fire, but by the utili-
cation Of ice, says the National Provi-
sioner. A well insulated car is fitted
each end with four galvanized iron cyl
inders reaching from the floor to the
top Of the car In summer these cylin-
ders are filed with ice and salt to
keep the car cool. In winter they are
filled with ice to keep the contents of
the car from freezing.
Ice is nominally at a temperature of
30 degrees Fahrenheit and is a sub
stance that changes temperature reluct-
antly, being a poor conductor of heat
or cold. Consequently when zero
weather prevails outside the cylinders
of relatively warm Ice prevent the es-
cape of heat, in other words they main
tain the temperature within the car.
Another method whereby ice is en-
ployed for protection against cold con-
sists in throwing a plentiful stream of
water on the car when the temperature
is near zero point, which freezes at
once and forms complete coat over
the car. The action Of this ice is the
same as in the case of the cylinders
filed with ice. A similar plan is fire.

THE CALLAO PAINTER.
Curious Effect of Waters of South Amer
lean Port on Vessels Painted White.

Naval officers who have made the
cruise from the Atlantic to the Pacific at
this time of the year are specializing as
to the effect of what is known as the
"Callao painter upon the ships of the
United States battleship fleet during
their stay at CallaO.
The ''Callao painter" is peculiar con-
dition of the water in the harbor at
times, caused by the presence of sui
phurated hydrogen due to sewer gas or
other cause. Ships painted white, as are
those of Admiral Evans fleet, have been
known to turn a dirty brown or grayish
black within two days after anchoring in
the harbor of Callao, the change being
attributed to the effects of the mysteri-
Gus "Callao painter" and that despite
the most persistent scrubbing.
Whether Admiral Evans ships are
fated to encounter the painter and
thus lose their cleaning Wilderness time
alone can tell. but if they do there will
be unmistakable manifestations of dis
gust on the part of the blue jackets, to
whom the cleanliness of the fleet is a
matter of the keenest Washing

Too Sham for EN-.

Rather humorous is the story of Jack
Downey, the great little lightweight.
This Jack was born in Brooklyn, but in
his youth he did more of playing truant
than of attending school. He was al
ways out in some back lot boxing with
other boys, when he should have been
studying.
Jack went one night to see a fight at
the Greenwood Athletic club. Charlie
Banks, the manager, approached Dow
ney with the intention of signing him as
a coming attraction.
"Will you fight New York Jack
O'Brien here?" asked Banks
Sure" replied Downey.
''All right. Well give you a guarantee
of $1,000.
What" exclaimed Downey. Il guess
not! No, sir! A thousand or nothing. I'm
no cheap fighter"
And Manager Banks let it go at that.
