"As Ia Nothing Else to DO"

AS I'd nothing else to do.
Of l started through the meadows
Where the dew-beads pearled the
spray,
And responsive to the song birds
kept singing all tho way
Quite surprised, she was to see me
Come so early there to WOO,
Till said. "Id just walked over,
Cause I'd nothing else to do"
Then we rambled forth together,
Down the lane beneath the trees:
While so gently stirred the shadows
OF their branches in the breeze.
And when er our conversation
Languished for word or two,
Why, of course, | kindly kissed her,
AS I'd nothing else to do.
But before the day was over,
I'd somehow made up my mind,
That I'd pop the question to her,
If to me her heart inclined
So whispered sweet "my darling,

"Well," she said, perhaps l may

When I've nothing else to do"

INVENTOR OF DIVING ARMOR
Parts of His Device That Have Not
Been Improved Upon.

From the Scientific American.
Among the pioneer inventors To whom
the diving dress in its present perfected
form owes much was William Hannis
Taylor. The previous hit or miss at
tempts were superseded by the Tavlor
patent of June -. lS:iS in which the
essential feature was the valve allowing
the emission OF consumed air without an
influx of water.
Previous 10 this time there had been
the diving chests and the diving bell. of
which the latter introduced by Smeaton
in HIS was the safest and most prac1i-
cal device for submarine exploration. The
diving bell has been developed alongside
of the diving dress and is still in use
The general appearance of TavIor's
diving armor was like that of a knight s
suit Of mail except for a prominent bulge
in the body piece. y large pipe coming
down from the surface and penetra tin o
the body piece al the bulge supplied the
fresh air while short pipe entered the
body piece on the other side. and was
provided with valve which carried off
the exhaust. Although diving armor has
now reached its perfected state, this
valve has never been materially improved
upon.

Women and the Drama.

Henry Arthur Jones Before London Irbsn Club
Mr.. II. A. Jones noted the difference
between the conditions under which the
artist and the dramatist achieved sue
cess. The artist had to please one pa
iron: the dramatist. if he did not please
the boy i'm the gallery, had his displeas-
ure signaled to him in a very disa gree
able and often brutal fashion. /:
In the speakers view the great drama
lists were distinguished by their common
sense and their large sanity. ThaI<was
the characteristic that marked Shakes-
peare. Sophocles, Molere. The late
George Meredith. in an ESSAY that was
a born classic, paid in prose of the high
est distinction a delightful tribute 10 tha
last. But he forgot. or at any rate did
not pay enough attention to, one habit
of Moliere-the habit of'reading his plass
to his houSekeeperS. They had lately lis
tened to a work of Merediths in the
theater. Ii was in Chiseled, uniewetea
English. Nothing like il, ii was said. had
ever been heard the English stage.
But the great public went further and
said they never wished To hear anything
like it again. Mr. Meredith had not read
il to his househeeper. 1t was. indeed,
not a play at all.
Today women largely dictated To the
dramatist. Ii was they who filed our
theaters. He was told the other day by
the boX-office clerk that at a certain
matinee performance at which he hap
pened to be present 169 ladies passed the
ticket office before a single man appear
ed and ne was a curate. He was asked
why he didn't write a play about some
other passion than love. The women
would not have it.

HAWK STOLE HER HAT

CHANTECLER HEADGEAR.
So Disguised When He Discovered

NEW YORK, May 23.-While on her
way to church Sunday Miss Margare;
McPhal of Singac, y. j., had an exciting
experience with huge chicken hawk
which made off with her chantecler hat
When near the schoolhouse on Pomp-
ton turnpike she first noticed the hawk
lowering over her. but high up in the
air. The bird, after circling about and
swinging nearer and nearer to her, sud
denly swooped down on her head and
seized the hat. 1t fluttered and pulled
at the headgear. while Miss McPhail
screamed. Two girl friends ran TO her
assistance Miss Minnie Hartsdorf
reached her first, and she tried TO drive
of the bird, but the hawk tapped his
wings wildly several times, striking Miss
Hartsdorf in the face and binding her
Tor the time being
Miss NJ Phail was so frightened that
she sank to the ground BY that time
the hat pins had worked loose and the
hawk flew away with the headSear in its
claws. When over the Passaic river the
bird evidently discovered 1t had made Il
mistake and dropped the hat. which fell
into the water near the Singac bridge,
where a number of men and boys were
fishing.
Finding she was more scared than hurt,
Miss McPhal rushed to the river bank
The hat was tEen floating under the
bridge. and several of the fishermen tried
to hook it, but were unsuccessful At
that moment Howard Jackson of Mont

club. came around >..e bend of the river
in his canoe. padding up stream The
men called out to him TO secure the hat,
which he did, and returned ii to the
owner, who was profuse in her thanks
Miss McPhail attended church, little
late, but she did not wear the hat.
