Apology Due and Forthcoming.

An illiterate young man once got q
friend to write a letter for him to
his sweetheart The letter was rath-
er prosaic for a love letter, and he felt
that an apology was due to his sweet
heart for its lack of tender nothings.
1t was as follows:
please excuse the mildness OF this
here letter, as the chap wot's 'ritin' 1t
is a married man, and he says he
carn't 'bide any soft soapings; 1t allus

Bought His Own Work.

To come across a bit Of ones own
work in print is IN experience not ordi-
narily exasperating TO an author. but a
Washington writer on scientific mat
tiers was recently not very agreeably
surprised by such development.
1t appears that the, writer was col
lecting material for a monograph on
electro magnetism NAeng word came to
him of valuable paper on the subject
not long before published inTa Berlin
journal devoted to science. Thinking
that the paper would be Of use to him
in the work in hand, he had it trans
lated. When the English version was
laid before him, together with quite a
bill for the translator's labor, what was
the disgust of the writer to find that
the article was nothing more or less
than German reproduction of an ar
ticle of his own published the year be-
fore in an English journal. And he
bad paid twice as much for the trans
lation as he had received for the orig
inal article-W Washington Star.

Erchimedes.

Az mechanician Archimedes pro-
duced the correct theory of the lever
and invented no less than forty inter.
esting devices. including the endless
screw, the pump, the organ and the
burning glass;" with which latter
novel weapon he is said to have set
fire to the ships OF an enemy's fleet
from a considerable distance. The sto-
~ is probably fabulous, but none the
less interesting, as exhibiting the faith
OF the people in the man and as indi-
eating the character of his pursuits.
As engineer Archimedes was looked
upon as hardly less than magician.
He produced catapults which threw
enormous stones and heavy pixies at
long range into the ranks of the enemy
or into his ships, and great derricks
were built by him with which to lift
the attacking craft out of water or to.
upset it, destroying all on board. His
proposed use of the lever meant the
production of the inconceivable inyen-
tons In machinery and engineering
construction. and his own estimate of

familiar quotation, 'Give me whereon
to stand and will lift the earth"
ArchimedeS was the first and perhaps
the most inventive and greatest OF
early engineers. His lever still moves
the wcrld. and his spirit is inherited
by generations Of the men who have
made modern civilization possible

violent fancy for motor boats. "a

keeping the machinery In running or

Always Some Gain in Loss.

AS ther is no worldly gain without
some loss, so there is no worldly loss
without some gain. If thou hast lost
thy wealth, thou hast lost some
trouble with it; if thou art degraded
from thy honor, thou art likewise
freed from the stroke of envy; if sick
ness hath blurred thy beauty, it hath
delivered thee from pride. Set the al
lowance against the loss and thou
shalt find no loss great; he loses little
or nothing that reserves himself

WOMAN CRAZED BY HEAT.

man crazed by heat from third story

held at bay a crowd of citizens and police
by a threat to leap to the ground if any

NEW EFFICIENCY RULE.
Treasury Department to Work Out
Reform in Ranks.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The wave of eff
cheney tests, which started under Secre-
tary Nagel, in the Department of Com
merce and Labor, has struck the Treas
uIy Department, where it is to be even
more sweeping than in any other de-
partments.
Before leaving the city for his summer
home in Dublin n. H., Secretary Nc
Neagh appointed the three assistant sec
retaIes as a committee to work out the
reform. Assistant Secretary Norton was
made chairman. Cards have been sent to
every employee and to every chief of a
division. Each chief will make a report
concerning his employees and each en-
ployec will make a report concerning
himself or herself The cards cover a
host of subjects, including the quantity
and quality of work performed by each
employee and the character of appoint
ment under which one labors. 1t is not
anticipated that there will be a great
saving Immediately in dollars and cents,
but it is believed that it will result in the
Introduction of labor saving economies
and that some practical theory of pro-
motions may be worked out.
Many appointees of the Treasury De-
partment obtained their places through
political influence and in their behalf
promotions have been urged, greatly to
the annoyance of the officials. When an
instance of that kind comes to the notice
of the Secretary of the Treasury now the
chief of the employee division will receive
letter, as follows:

WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
Signals Corps to Begin Experiments
With Newest Systems.

Washington, Aug. 13.---The United
States signal corps is going in for
wireless telephony. With the aero
planes out of the way, the signal corps
men at Fort Myer will next week be-
gin experiments with the newest sys-
TEN of sound transmission for the pur-
pose of thoroughly testing it's prac-
ticability.
Brigadier General James Allen, chief
signal officer, and Major George o. Re-
qure have been at the works Of tho
General Electric Company in Schnec-
tady for the past week watching the
assembling of wireless telephone in
struments. Gen. Allen said: We ex-
pect these instruments to be, in their
field, what the Wright aeroplane was
in aeroplanautics.
Before the tests with the Wright
machine began at Fort Meyer, the sig
nal corps experimental several weeks
with wireless telephone sets. Although
the experiment attracted no public no.
tice remarkable results were obtained
They were suspended only to make
way for the Wrights.

Horsington, who was unable to

rescue, but did not have sufficient
strength to raise his friends body to

WHALES GULPiNe MAcKEREL.
rs Whales and millions of the Little
Fish Trying to Reach Shoal Water.

New York, Aug. 13-The fruiter
Clothilde Cuneo. like most of the Port
Antonio packets. makes a specially of
seeing things off Cape Hatteras other
than characteristic cross seas and the
regulation lights. She is owned by an
Americanized Italian, named for one of
the family, flies the Norwegian flag, is
commanded by Dane, Capt. Fritz
BcrSe and has a mixed crew, including
Chinese.
Her latest Hatteras vision concerns
whales and mackerel. Capt. Borge him.
self refused to be interviewed, but let his
mate talk. The mate said there were
twenty-five whales. the biggest school he
had ever seen. The teacher of the school
was a huge bull with mouth like a
barn door. He was showing the smaller
whales how to catch mackerel, of which
there seemed to be millions. The mack
erel We're headed toward shore in the
hope of safety in shoal water, They
leaped from the sea in shimmerine
masses sometimes covering more than q
city block as the whales pursued them
and poured like fish Niagaras into the
cavernous jaws of the whales that had
received orders to cut off the mackere
retreat.
1t looked like waste of fine mackere
to the Cuneo's cook. who did not have a
bit of fresh fish aboard. The chase anG
development of the mackerel was. kept
up for more than an hour, when whalel
was observed coming on the scene to give
the big ones chance to see how it was
themselves.
