The tuppenny tube, London's sub
way, once set fire to house in man
ner so extraordinary as to merit atten-
ton. In mansion beneath which
runs the subterranean railway one OF
the bedroom fireplaces was fitted with
a blower-a sheet of iron inside the
CRATE which can be raised or lowered
to regulate the draft. The blower rest
ed on a series of iron notches. One
afternoon a servant kindled ire In
the crate and when it was well alight
raised the blower, SO that the coal
would burn but slowly, and so left 1t
while she went downstairs. Presently,
deep in the clay beneath the founda-
lions of the house, train rushed along.
The vibrations from its passing were
sufficient to jar the blower from the
notches on which the servant had left
1t. 1t dropped down. The draft In
creased; the fire ragged madly. The
flames were enough to set the chimney
on fire, burning SCOT set the water tank
on the roof alight, and there resulted

A BAD PLAN OF TRAVEL.
The Scheme That Worried One Woman
on Her Trip Abroad.


when hear of people joyfuliy max
ing plans for their first trip abroad
said a man who has made many
transatlantic voyage, Il am tempted to
give them a little bit of advice, based,
of course, ON my own observations, but
particularly upon a remark made to
me by a middle aged woman whose
seat in the saloon was next to mine on
my return trip last summer. This wo-
man had husband, and it was to him
that she referred in answering my
question one day. / asked her what
she had been doing on the other side.
She looked half quizzically, half re-
proachfully, at her spouse and said,
Well. my principal occupation was
trying to keep track of John
sit developed that her concern was
not over what John might do in Euro
pean capitals, but simply related to
the difficulty each had in meeting the
other after pursuing their several
ways in a strange city, she to browse
among the shops and he, an inveterate
sightseer, to visit this, that and the
other spot of interest. Their general
scheme. as l was Informed, was to di-
verge say, in the morning, following
their respective bents and arranging
to meet at a certain place at certain
time. The plan sounds feasible, but 1t
is experimental, and, as both of them
found, it was an experiment that didn't
work well. First one would be delayed
and then the other, and If you have
ever waited for a person in foreign
city you can appreciate the particular
variety of anxiety that comes in about
ten minutes There's a feeling that
something has happened to the missing
person, for one thing. and, for another,
there's an increasing realization that
you yourself are wasting time. If you
start out to look up the delinquent, the
case becomes practically hopeless. The
needle in the haystack is easy COM
pared to that search. When the re
union does come at dinner time in the
hotel or pension. explanations are re-
ceived with tears or naughty disdain.

The majority of naturalists DIVIDE
the salmo, or salmon, tribe into four
species-the salmon. the sea trout, the
brook trout and the lake trout. Scan
dinayian biologists reduce these four
to two species-salmon and trout-con-
sidering all the different kinds of trout
as mere varieties of one species. There
is little doubt about the identity of the
lake trout and the brook trout, and ex-
periments by Mr.. CIigny with the fish
of northern France make It appear
that there is no more doubt about the
identity of the common trout and the
sea trout
II there be a difference between the
adults of the two varieties there Is
none between the fry. The fry of the
two kinds cannot be distinguished one
from the other until the trout, leaving
fresh water, seeks brackish water in
preparation for acclimatizing itself in
salt This takes place from May to
July, during which time the fry of the
common or brook trout, If brought into
brackish water. gradually assumes the
livery Of the salt water fish. There is
no room for doubt. according to this
French zoologist. that the sea trout and
the brook trout are one and the same
species. The sea trout are a branch
of the brook trout. If some of them
are Matched as sea trout, many others
are Matched as brook trout. and these
young fish In descending the rivers be-
come true sea trout.-New York World.

THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Ancient Egyptians Believed In Con-
slant Reminders of Death.

Ancient Egyptians Believed In Con-
slant Reminders of Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of a career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but a prep
aration His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds or slab of stone. The whole
land was his graveyard; its whole art
was of the mortuary. "Are there no
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to dieY asked
the Israelites in derision and we may
believe that Moses WINGED at the sar-
caSm
Egypt is the land of graves, and the
whole energy of the peSSie that could
be spared from keeping life together
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the world-the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes of toiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, all painfully excavated
in honor Of the illustrious dead and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitations for
his ghost.
Wherever he looked the Egyptian be-
held preparations for the great turning
point Of existence. The mason was
squaring blocks for the tomb chamber;
the potter nodded images Of the gods
or bowls and jars to be placed In the
grave for the protection or refreshment
Of the Ka, exhausted with the ordeals
of the underworld; the sculptor and
painter were at work upon the walls
of the funeral chamber illustrating the
scenes through which the ghost was to
pass or depicting the industrious life
of the departed.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were in a
sense but vestibules to the tombs in
the hills behind. The sacred lake, now
the weedy, picturesque haunt of water
fowl, was then the scene Of solemn
ferryings of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors of
the Judgment to come. The houses of
the living, indeed, were built of per-
ishing mud, but the homes of the dead
and the shrines where supplication was
made to the gods who ruled their fate
were made to last forever. On these
all the strength, the science and the
artistic skill of the ancient Egyptians
were cheerfully lavished.-London Sat
urday Review.

OUR SAILORS UNIFORMS.
Copied From England and Not Rep
resentative of America.


All are familiar with the American
man-of-war sailors suit, but has any
one ever stopped TO consider how ne
comes by it and what the origin OF IL
is? With the exception of the Mt itself
and the stars in the corner of the collar
the whole suit is copied from the Eng
lish. One would have thought that by
this time the American nation would
have fallen upon some original cos
tune for its navy in some way more
representative of America.
In the early days of the British navy
it was still the custom to tie the hair
in a cue after well greasing 1t, but
much annoyance was felt by the men
in consequence of the oil getting on the
rough serge of their jumpers or blouses.
This caused the blue collar of the
same material as the jumper to be
added. but without much success, as
the collar looked quite as untidy, so at
length the idea of putting the blue
drill one over the serge was adopted,
the drill collar being separate ap-
pendage and therefore easily washed
and kept clean The lanyard was
worn to represent the ropes and rig
cling of the ship, and the jackknife in
dicated that Ito be paradoxicaD the
bluejacket's object in life was death
to his enemy.
In those days the neck was exposed,
but as time went on and more thought
was given to the welfare of the men
this was found to be injurious to the
health: hence the substitute of the
white neck flannel, white being used
TO give the effect of the uncovered
neck.
The two rows of white braid at the
top of the cuff represent England and
Ireland, the one row at the bottom
| showing that Scotland had not become
annexed. The rows of braid on the
collar represent wholly and solely the
victories of Nelson.
At the opening of Lord Nelson's
grand career and his first great vic
tory at Aboukir the first row of braid
was put on the collar, and Jack was a
proud and happy man. and be became
| still prouder and happier when Aboukir
was followed by Nelson's greater vic
tory at Copenhagen, and the second row
was added. But he became the proud
est and happiest man and. alas. also
the most sorrowful and grief stricken
when that great hero and magnificent
example Of naval courage lost his life
in his last victory at Trafalgar, and Sc
the third row of braid went on, but
there was no more to come after it. for
'sthe last pipe" had sounded for the
gallant sailor, his last fight fought. his
last victory won. To signify the
mourning which filed the hearts Of all
English sailors the black scarf was
added This was the origin of the
British tar's uniform, which is both
historical and biographical and dear to
the heart of all English people.-New
