How the Burmese Made Fire.

One day Burmese messenger
brought me Il note. While he was
waiting for the reply / observed an
object something like boys pop
gun suspended around his waist On
asking what 1t was he showed me that
it was an implement for producing
fire. 1t was Il rude example of sci
entifc instrument employed by lee
turers at home to illustrate the pro-
duction of heat by suddenly compress
ed air: A piston fitted into the tube
The former was followed at the lower
end and Smeared with wax to receive n
piece of cotton or tinder, which when
pressed into it adhered. tube was
closed Mt one end. Placing the piston
at the top. of the tube. with a smart
blow he struck it down and imme-
diately withdrew it with the tinder on
fire. the sudden compression of the air
having ignited it. l was so much
struck with the scientific ingenuity of
this rude implement that / procured
it from the Burman and sent it to the
Asiatic society OF Bengal. with a. short

bravely to her rescue aud released her
Then when he had her safely i'll the

passed them, he had forgotten to re-
lease his hold of her. She had become
angry at the smiling of the engineer
and had jerked herself away impa-
tiently without so much as a word OF
thanks.
Then there was the runaway horse
and the mixing of reins and dash
boards. Ralph was the first to come
and pull her from the debris. When
she told of pain in her arm he hur-
ried away for the doctor. Afterward
he sat by her while her arm was heal
ing and read from the book that in
terested her.
Ralph's name was mentioned.
Always he was Mt her side when she
| encountered trouble of any kind, but
she seemed not to notice him. A cas-
ual nod of thanks and an Indifferent
smile were all she ever gave him.
| Years after that last incident the
| cyclone came. Bertha had shaken he"
head to two young men before That
event. She had been away to school
| and had visited summer resorts and
had been at the seaside and the winter
| hotels in the south.
These men were eligible, too. as men
go. But somehow there seemed to be
| something lacking. 1t made little diff
| ference where the incompatibility was.
f. Bertha gave her answer, and her
mother was surprised when the ulti-
matum to the second one was given.

The Trolley as a Civilizer.

The department of state has taken
steps TO keep itself closely informed
in regard to the proceedings in .he
trial of the two American mission
aries. Rev. w. H. Sheppard and Rev.
William Morrison. which was begun
last week at Leopoldvill1, in the
Congo. The case already has been n
subject of considerable correspondence
between the. United States and the
Belgian government, and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the former
will see that the Americans are pro
tected in all their rights.
The two Americans are to be tried
on charge of libel The charge is
made against them by one of the Con.
go concession companies that has 4
monopoly of rubber gathering in the
Kasai region. 1t claims $4,000 dam
ages from each of the men for "calum
nious denunciation." The missionari IS
have for years made public statements
concerning the alleged abuse of ma
tiyes, and the slit against them is
based upon an article that was pub
hSHCu lHt paper III
1908. which alleged that a greater par
of the district had been devastated 5y
the company, and that one of the
tribes of natives was reduced to a con
dition of wretchedness.
The trial was originally set to be
gin last May In response TO an ap
peal from the Congo Reform assOcia
tion, the Washington government ra
quested the Belgian government tina
the hearing of the case be postponed
Belgian replied that because of insuc
mountable legal obstacles this was i'm
possible Nevertheless postponemen
of the trial was announced a few
days later, and it is now deemed like
ly that the case may be dropped alto
