In q Wireless Tower.

To the men in the tower the air
seemed full of noises. Signals were
picked up from Washington, Cape
Henry, Fire Island and Glace Bay.
Late in the morning the electrical
school in the Brooklyn navy-yard
added the charm of music to the PEI
formances. Wireless telephone ex-
periments were being conducted be-
tween two points in the yard and the
senders were using the band records
of a phonograph. Once it was neces-
sary to telephone to the manager OF
a coast station to ask coastwise ships
to cease sending messages for a few
minutes.
The successful experiment, while
proving the efficacy of the land wire
less for news service, was useful also
as indicating some of the difficulties
which must be overcome by improve
ments in the mechanical equipment
of the stations. In course of time
the danger of delay by interference
will be minimized. The humorists
in the wireless service, too, will get
tired after a while of their wireless

A SYRUP-CAN MOTHER

Dorothy Deane and her little
brother Laurence were standing by
the window watching for papa. Ev-
cry night when it was time for him
to return home they waited until they
cav him come in sight around the
corner, and then ran as fast as they
could to meet him.
Unless papa was very tired indeed,
he always carried one of them home
on his shoulder, while the other took
hold of his hand, and both tried to
tell him of all that they had been do
ing that day.
There he comes!" cried Dorothy
at last, and the children raced toward
the corner as fast as their chubby
little legs would carry them.
Careful, now:" said papa, warn
ingly, as the two hurrying little fig
ures reached him. Don't hit against
my dinner pail"
what is in it?' asked Dorothy and
Laurence in one breath, as they stood
on tiptoe, trying to peep inside the
cover.
"Guess!" said papa, laughingly. "A
nickel to the one who guesses right!
+ "Candy!" cried Laurence.
"Oranges!" said Dorothy.
Papa shook his head at both these
guesses. and at all the others that
followed. until they had reached the
house.
! "Now let mamma have a turn he
said, holding the dinner pail up tc
her ear.
why, it isn't" mamma began
with look of the greatest surprise.
Yes, it is" papa declared. Ther
he took off the cover and tipped the
pail gently over in the middle of the

kitchen table, and out came ten OF the
iufiest, downiest little chickens that
any of them had ever seen. Several
of them stepped about timidly; but
most of them huddled together near
the pail, peeping softly.
"Oh, oh, OH" cried the children,
delightedly, jumping up and down In
their excitement Are they really
ours? Where did you get them?"
They are power house chickens, )"
papa replied, smiling at their enthusl-
asm, "hatched right in the engine
room!"
What do you mean?" asked
mamma in astonishment, gazing at
the pretty little creatures.
Just what 1 say" replied papa,
who was an engineer in the big power
house down town; they were Matched
on a shelf in the engine room"
"You are joking" mamma de-
clared, but papa shook his head at
once.
1T was just this way" he ex-
planned, hanging up his hat. Tom
Morgan brought me dozen eggs
from his new hennery about three
weeks ago. l put them up on the
shelf, intending to bring them home
that night, but never thought OF them
again until this morning, when there
seemed to be something stirring up
there. I looked, and, sure enough,
there was fine litter OF chickens
Just picking their way out of the
shells."
But how did it ever happen?"
asked mamma in a puzzled tone,
while Dorothy and Laurence scattered
tiny bread crumbs near the new
corners.
Because the engine, running night
and day, gave the eggs just as much
heat as they would have found under
hens Wings papa replied; "and
so they thought they were put up
there to hatch.
"Oh, aren't they dariings." cried
Dorothy, clapping her hands as the
chickens began to eat the crumbs.
"They are the incest pets that We
ever had in all our lives"
THE only question in my mind is
how they are to be mothered at
night" papa said, patting Dorothy's S
bright curls as he spoke. 'If mamma
can decide that question for us, l will
agree to make nice home for them. "
Mamma looked thoughtful for a
moment, then told papa that, If he
would make the little house, she
would soon have mother ready to
put inside it.
While papa was making nice
coop out of wooden box, mamma
found an empty tin can that had once
held a gallon of maple syrup. She
filled this full OF boiling water,
screwed the cover on tight, and then
wrapped it up In pieces Of flannel.

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.

1t is we'll known that the waters
of the Dead Sea are much heavier
than those of the ocean. This is due
to the great amount of salt held in
solution. A few years ago Mr., now
Sir Gray Hill, of England, made trial
of swimming in the sea and then in
the Jordan, to compare the two. He
tells the result in his book, with
the Beduins:"
Many tourists while at Jericho
bathe in the Dead Sea and the Jor-
dan, and for very shame I could not
pass by without doing so. But my
experience was peculiar. l had with
me one of the Jericho sheiks and
one of the muleteers. and We rode
first to the Dead Sea. Its waters
are generally perfectly still and OF
a splendid blue color; but now, ow.
ing to the storm, they were very
rough, the waves ran high, and for
some two hundred yards from the
shore were Of an ugly brown.
1 looked askance at it as 1 un-
dressed, but felt bound to go in. The
waves very promptly knocked me
down, and filled my mouth, nose and
eyes with tn cir strong brine. Again
I tried, aud again. picking up one
after another of the bare branches
of trees which are carried down by
the Jordan and washed on to the
shores OF this strange lake. with
which | tried to steady myself IS
walked in But the force of the
waves. aided by the great floating
power OF the water. twisted tbs
branches out of my hands, and
knocked me down time after time
until, feeling that l had done enough
for principle, acknowledged that the
victory did rot lie on my side, and
scrambled out, smarting most un-
pleasantly.
Then we galloped off to the Jor-
dan, where | thought l should sue
ceed better. So | cast about for q
suitable place to jump in, for l did
not like to crawl in ignominiously at
the pilgrims bathing-place, neal
which we were, and which would
have been the wisest course to adopt

curing a long stick. l ascended the
stream a little, and made sure by
sounding with it Of deep spot under
an overhanging tree.
In plunged, intending to swim
down to the regular bathing-place
where l knew there must be I. goot
bottom for getting out. Down
came with the fast-howing yellow
flood, striking out in the fullest en-
ioyment.

How to Get Poor Quick.

Do not try to save your loose
change. 1t is too small an amount to
put in the savings bank. 1t would
not amount to much, anyway, and
there is great comfort in spending 1t.
Just wait until you get sufficient
worth while before you DEPOSIT 1t.
Do not try to economic. 1t is an
Internal nuisance to always try to
save few cents here and there. Be-
sides, you will get the reputation of
being mean and stingy. You want
everybody to think you are generous.
Just look out for to-day. Have a
good time as you go along. Just use
your money yourself. Don't deprive
yourself for the sake of laying up
something for ucher people to fight
over. Besides you ate sure of to-
day. You might not be alive t.'-

TALES OF
THE RAID OF THE TUSKER.

I'VE were all seated under the sha-
miana, a sort of fringed canopy un-
der which East Indians sit in the cool
Of the evening"" says Mr.. Inglis, in
Tent Life in Tiger Land" "Our
hunting togs were discarded and our
guns were being cleaned. AS they
sat thus, unprepared for any emer-
gency, piercing screams were sudden.
ly heard.
Run, sahibs, run! The tusker
has gone mad. Hehas broken loose!'
All started to their feet, and the
terror-stricken servants flew in every
direction. The great elephant made
a run for the cook, who was bending
over a stewpan. With admirable pre-
cision of mind the man delivered the
kissing pan full in the gaping mouth
of the furious beast.
Our first impulse was to run for
our guns, but they were all taken to
pieces Not one in the camp was
ready for use.
The elephant next made rush for
the shamiana; the ropes snapped like
burnt fax, the lacquered bamboo
poles broke like pipe-stems. Like
the collapsing bulk of a punctured
balloon, the canopy crashed to the
ground, while we made our escape in
all directions.
One of the party, Mac by name
a man of great strength, who kept a
small meerschaum pipe continually
between his lips, tumbled over, and
could not rise before the brute was
on him.
The rest of us stumbled over the
tent ropes, dashed to the river
plunged in and swan across. Then
we paused, and missed Mac. From
the servants came the frightened
wall, ''Oh, the sahib is dead! Alas!
From the river bank we could see
the brute in perfect fury of rage
trampling on the shapeless heap oi
cloth, furniture and poles, digging
his tusks into the canvas in an aban
don of uncomfortable madness. There
was little doubt that Mac lay crushed
to death, mangled out of all likeness
by those terrible tusks. We waited
an age, it seemed, in an agony o1
suspense. By the clear moonlight
everything was as plain as by day.
The elephant tossed the strong
canvas canopy as if It were a door
mat, giving thrust after thrust, and
screaming in frenzy of wrath. Fl
nally it shook it's massive bulk, made
for the diDjng-tent, and after de
molishing that, made for the
jungle.
There was an awful silence, broker
only by stif1ed sob. Then some one
said, Poor old Mac!"
After a time we ventured to the
spot. From the shapeless mound o1
canvas there proceeded something
like a groan. Then a voice said:
Look alive, fellows, and get me
out of this or Ill be smothered!"
so Mac!" we blubbered rs il
really you?"
who did you think it was?" was
the answer.
We set to work to extricate oul
friend. Tables and chairs were or
top of him so that he could breathe
but not stir. 1t was a narrow escape
One thrust of the tusks had passed
between his arm and his side. The
tension of nerve was so great that a
one time he lost consciousness.
Macs first care, when he was once
free from the tangle, was to search
for his pipe.

But when was just about to put
my foot to the ground. 1 was brought
up sharp with tremendous blow on
my right breast. If it had struck
me on the heart it would, 1 think,
have killed me on the spot. l had
come down on to the end of a stake
pointing upstream, and driven in to
mark the upper boundary of the
bathing-place, but which was hidden,
owing to the rains having raised the
surface of the river I had some
difficulty in crawling out again, and
was black and blue in the chest for
a month afterward. There is nothing
like little experience to teach one

CHLDRENS DEPARTMENT.

There" she exclaimed, triumph
antly, fastening the last strip, "let us
see how the chickens like this for a
mo,her!"
Setting the can carefully in the GEN.
tire of the coop, she put the little
chickens close by it. Finding 1t soft
and warm, they cuddled up against
the flannel cover, and began to chirp
as contentedly as if it were a mother
hen. Then she pinned square of
flannel to the upper side of the can,
letting it spread either way like
mother hens wings, and leaving the
ends open for the chickens to go in
and out.
1--WE will fill the can with hot water
every night" said mamma, "and it
will keep the chickens nice and warm.
They will never know that it is not
real mother"

chickens certainly lived quite happily
