in attendance.
"Ah! Twins"
Yes, sir" replied the girl; both
boys"
"So?" said the old gentleman. How
do you tell them apart? Which is
which,"
This one" said the nurse, pointing,
lis this. and that one is that"
Dear me-" said the old gentleman,
how very interesting. But" he add
ed, indicating the second one, might
not this one be this also?"
1T might" said the girl. after a
short pause; then, Of course, that one
would be that"
well. them" said the old gentleman,
how do you manage to separate
them?"
I'VE seldom do, but when we want
to we put one in one room and the
other in another"
DO you indeed? Which one do you
put in one room?"
Sometimes this one and sometimes
that"
How do you know which one you're
putting in which room?"
I'VE look and see which Is IN the
other room, and then we know the oth-
or is in the which room"
Very good" said the old gentleman
warming up to the problem, but II
one of them was IN the house and the
other was away somewhere, would you
be able to tell which was In the
house?"
"Oh. yes, sir" said the girl earnest
": "all we would have to do would be
10 look at him and then we would know
that the one we saw was the one IN
the house and then, Of course, the one
away somewhere would be the other.
There are only two Of them, you see'
which makes it very easy"

New Government Vessels Built For
Destroyinu DANGEROUS DereIicts

No country in the world does so
much to protect ocean borne COM
merce from loss by collision with der
elcts as does the United States, says
the New York Tribune. For many
years it has published a monthly chart
Of the North Atlantic which includes
among numerous items Of useful in
formation for mariners the locations
o. all derelicts according to the latest
reports. For many years it was the
custom to give naval vessels and their
officers and crews an opportunity to
see active service by pursuing the elu-
sive derelict with the object of de-
stroying it. The famous dynamite de-
stroyer Vesuvius was among those
that used to get a little gun practice
with a derelict as the target. For two
years the revenue cutter Mohawk has
been doing duty as a derellct Destroy
er, with such success that the Novem-
Der photographic chart shows no dere-,
lict reported more than once, or earlier
than September 80. On the old charts
IL was IlOl w iiiiNl al iS
ports of the same derelict ranging
over a period sometimes of more than
a year.
In the course of few days the Sen
eca, a vessel built especially for put
ting these lingering victims Of the
wrath Of Father Neptune out Of exist
ence, will go into commission. This
vessel is the first built for such q pur-
pose in the world. In general appear
ance she will resemble the oceans going
revenue cutters Of the United States,
but will have two tunnels to distin-
guish her from the cutters. She will
be provided with torpedoes and guns
for firing explosive shells, and power
full towing apparatus for towing any
wanderer, not too far gone, into ha-
ven Of safety.
The government has also found a
use for wireless telegraphy in the pro-
lection of commerce from derelicts
and icebergs. A few days ago the
photographic office in Broad street
received wireless message from the
steamship Caracas, which had sailed
a couple of days before for Porto Rico.
The master of the ship reported pass
ing the sodden hulk Of the schooner
Howard Compton Of Philadelphia, and
gave the latitude and longitude and
the hour. The stubbed remains of the
fcremast were still standing, and the
wreck was dangerous to navigation"
In the course Of a few hours the mes
sage was thrown to the four winds
from several of the twenty-three gov
ernment wireless telegraph stations
scattered along the Atlantic and gulf
coasts for the information Of all YES
sells equipped with wireless receiving
apparatus.
Three times a day at enight- hour in
tervals, the hours being 6 a. m, p.
M. and 10 p. m., wireless messages re-
garding distractions to navigation are
sent broadcast. A vessel at other
times may call up these stations and
be equipped with wireless telegraph

ceived from shore and from passing

SANKEY'S SToRY.-A story which
Ira D. Sankey, the evangelist singer
used to tell on himself has been re-
Gently revived. One day in Geneva
he entered a music box shop and ask
ed to see some music boxes. The
salesman graciously showed him a
number, but none was what he wanted
Have you none that play sacred
music?" he asked.
Why" answered the salesman, I'VE
have some that play a kind of half
way sacred music"
What" inquired Mr.. Sankey.
"Oh, these Moody and Sankey
hymns! 1 can't imagine what the peo-
pie see in them, but we sell thousands
Of the boxes that play them. We have
enormous orders for these boxes,
continued the salesman, from every
part Of Europe" And then he added
apologetically, "it's a matter Of busi-
ness, you know, with u.s."
