had some joke with the bird he thought
that perhaps the doctor might like to

Accordingly. when the poor man was

thought he could do no better than
make his kind friend present of the

Kings college.
The bearer met with kind recep-
ton. but was desired to carry the bird
back with him.

fiuhtino Water Fires.

1t falls to the lot of few to set the
river on fire. and. despite the tradition
that the feat Is the quickest way to
fame. the names of those who have
done it never seem to survive.
But that many man can and does
set a river on fire is so true that in
vention has had to concern itself with
means for putting out those very
blazes.
They occur usually when petroleum,
gasoline or some other liquid hydro
carbons spread on the waters surface
and happen to he ignited before their
spread has too greatly broken up and
thinned them. Whole ports. with their
shipping. are endangered.
In Germany they have devised two
solutions which. mingling as they arc
poured, instantly raise a thick, tena-
ctous foam. One solution is composed
of potash, alum and sodium sulphate,
the other of sodium bicarbonate. sodi-
UNI sulphate and licorice root extract.
The soapsuds appearance of the foam
In reality covers an inert gas. which,
spreading over the entire burning sur
face. acts as blanket and Instantly
kills the flames for want of oxygen.

The MYSTERIOUS DISPATCH.


The club conversation turned to the
Spanish-A war. One member
of the party noted for his boasts of
being man of the world began:
II tell you. boys, one of the stran-
gest incidents of the war. one which
never be- anne public. was a mysterious
dispatch Given to secret agent Of the
Spanish government to carry to the
head of the Spanish spy system in the
United States and which came under
my observation"
Everybody leaned forward to hear
the expose of the diplomatic secret.
Continuing. the globe trotter said:
''This agent. who boarded the same
steamer on which had taken passage
home, could not read the dispatch be-
cause it was in French. He was afraid
1t was some sort of frame up on the
part Of a higher unfriendly official to
get him in bad with his other supe-
rf0rs at home
"We became chummy. and owing to
my fluency in speaking Spanish I cas-
fly passed for a Spaniard. When he
learned that also knew French he
mentioned the dispatch and suggested
that translate it for him. I was more
than willing to learn something that
might be Of advantage to my Uncle
Samuel and assented. He drew the
precious paper from his breast and
handed it toward me when
At this point every listener was on

A Card Sharp's Device.

One Of the most wonderful mechan-
zeal aids to card sharping was device
unearthed in a London gambling den Il
short time ago. It consisted Of spe-
cially constructed table containing a
secret and invisible drawer in the top,
which could be opened by spring
worked by slightly pressing the edge
of the table. Covering the action with
his hands and cards, the sharp dropped
the cards he wished to transfer to his
confederate into the opening. and Il
second spring shot them silently along
q secret passage to the other side of
the table. where there was another Sc
cret opening, whence the confederate
contrived to take them.-LondCn Tit

the church is a mighty good thing to

things they say don't bother me little

On the other hand, believe a man

stiffness of backbone, can worry along
through life and get satisfactorily set

from the church. But-and l can't
