"A H~ouseboat Owner Anchors Hla
Home Near n Private Well.
One man there is in the west sidn
who sits with his family before a nat.
ural gas fire in the evening In a room
lighted by natural gas, with no worry
as to whether Kansas City's supply of
natural gas holds out or not, says the
Kansas City Star. Samuel Isabel is his
name. He is a fisherman at the mouth
Of the Kaw River. He lives in a 20x4O
foot houseboat, but his houseboat is tho
envy Of all the many other fishermen
who live near the mouth Of the river.
Seven years ago several west side
men formed an investment company,
the object Of which was to bore for
natural gas in the bottoms near the
Kaw River. One well was sunk and gas
encountered, but capped and for sew
eral years the gas was put to no use.
Last summer Isabel moved his house
BOAT down the river and anchored it
neal the well.
II thought it looked like a good
thing" he said, $50 l kept quiet and got

feet Of iron pipe at a low price. After

inc stoves. Now I don't have to buy
any coal for stoves or oil for lamps.

When he laid his pipe from the we'll
to his house Isabel perfected an lnge-
NOUS contrivance SO that when his
house moved or was rocked by the rise
and fall of the water the flow Of gas
was not affected. Other fishermen
have applied to Isabel for use of part OF
the gas, but he says that as he found

CARD PLAYNIG BY BLIND.
Many Cards for sightless Prepared
nj tbs Public Library.

Many Cards for Sightless repaired
mt the Public Library.
There is an institution in this city
that ~circulates playing cards in the
same manner that books are given out
by a library, says the New York Trib-
une. These cards are given out to
blind persons, for the sightless can and
do play cards, even to INDUCING in the
little game known as solitaire.
Playing cards which are issued at
the library for the blind, in the build
ing of the st. Agnes branch of the New
York public library system, at Al
Amsterdam avenue, are the usual
decks, which have received the New
York point symbols by which a sight
less person can distinguish the differ
ent cards. At the top and bottom
alongside the printed designation
there are raised letters, and the blind
aevotee of games of chance can know
his hnnd as well as his more fortunate
brother or sister.
Misn Lucy Armistead Goldthwaite,
the librarian in charge, said yesterday
that the demand for playing cards was
constantly increasing. They are given
out under the same conditions as the
books for the blind and are to be re-
turned within two weeks. 1t is only
those who are just beginning. to play
who borrow packs of cards, for they
soon become SO interested that they
want decks of their own. The desig-
nation of the cards can be written on
any ordinary pack by the use of the
kleidosraph, one of which is in the
library. BY taking a deck there it is
possible to have it made over in a
short time for use by the blind.
There are 2,40o blind persons in this
city, according to the latest figures,
and IT is safe to assume that the usual
percentage Of them play cards. The
rule of the Federal government for the
free delivery by mail of books to blind
persons applies In this instance, and
any blind persons may have a pack
of cards prepared for his use sent to
his nearest p~ostoffice. if he lives out
side this city in the State of New
York, New Jersey OIL Connecticut, by
making application st the library.
The government does not deliver books
for the blind at their honles, because
they are too bulky for the mail car
riers to handle, but 1t does deliver
them without charge to the nearest
postofice or s%ubstation.
At first one might think a game
with marked cards would be unfair,
for the dealer, If especially skillful,
would be able to tell e--.h card as he
passed them out. This is erroneous,
for the marking Is on the face side of
the cards, and 1t would be impossible
to detect 1t by touch on the other side.

Something Worse.

One would think that almost any
thing Is preferable to a soaked bed in
the rainy open. The chaplain Of the
Fifty-second Massachusetts Volunteers
did not find it so, as the major of the
the Teche with Banks A bridge had
been built, and the Union troops were
supposedly taking a rest, camping be-
side the bayou.
The chaplain and the sergeant-major
were sleeping, or trying to sleep, under
the same blankets. The sergeant-najor
was soon fast asleep. Down came the
rain. The soldiers woke, and tried to
shift to the shelter Of the trees, but
there was little room. The water came
down in torrents. If one drew up his
rubber blanket the rain fell on his feet;
If he pushed it down it soaked his hair.
The chaplain finally got up to look
for a better place. The major drowsed
on. Presently the chaplain returned.
I've found a nice dry spot. You'd
better come"
where is it?, was the sleepy re-
Spouse.
"In a pig-pen. Nice dry shelf IN q
pig-pen. I'm going there. You'd better
come
Although the major ached in every
bone, he had his doubts as to there be-
ing room for two, so he replied.
81 guess III stay here and covering
his upper ear with a tin plate to keep
out the rain, he went off to sleep again.
In about half an hour he was dis
turbed by some one getting in under
his blanket.
..Who is it," he grumb1ed-
IT. said the chaplain. I've come
back
why didn't you stay?.
The chaplain uttered but word;
that was sufficient in explanation.
..Fleas7!!" he calculated, %wrathfully.

A novel method of pumping liquid

A novel method of pumping liquids
from bore holes is by means of an
endless rope, somewhat after the fash
ion of the chain pump, only in this
case the liquid to be raised is absorbed
by tie rope and squeezed out between
rollers at the surface. AS the rope Is
in balance the only power required is
to overcome friction and raise the
liquid.
