We were sitting in second-class rail-
way carriage shifting at each other with
that iaundiced unobtrusiveness which is
peculiar to fellow passengers Ill Merrle
England. The carriage was horribly
crowded, but, according to the caprice OF
the railway company, one place was va
cant, and to everybody's horror it was
claimed by great big man with fam
ing face and long, struggling beard. He
was holding Gladstone bag in his hand,
and he placed it carefully on the rack
just as the train wassmoving out of Lime
street station, Liverpool. For some time
he must have been conscious of the gen
eral atmosphere of disapproval, for he
kept silent, and we were well on through
the clay country before he attempted to
break the general frost. He seemed to
think that I looked the least splenetic
of his companions, for felt his eyes set

Utterly undiscouraged he continued more
cheerfuIly. and still with that old squeak
of appeal in his rough voice:

by indignant skirts, to the folds of a

shoulders. 1t was really too hot to

to protest against the very existence of
this flaming figure.

fact that away back on the homestead

When | had recovered complete con-
seriousness, I became instantly aware of
subtle change in the general attitude
towards ''Mossback." For one thing he
had more room for another, the lady
next him was looking at him almost as
though he was ii fellow human being.

reason or other my fellow passengers

"Thank you. marm." he responded,
and munched it genially. The scedy-
looking man on the other side offered

THE GIRL.

Oscar Ochre was an artist who could paint
q pictured lad
With a mastery of pigment such as Turner
never had.
Scoring canvaSeS or panels, he would man
a boS'n'S chair
And adorn the sides of buildings, twenty
fathoms in the air,
While Miss OSkalooSa JudkinS from her fiat
across the street
Watched him work with wide-eyed wonder
and pronounced his pictures "sweet."
Hargreave Hams was tall and handsome,
and he janitored the fat
Where Miss Oskaloosa Judkins had her
habitatiOn at.
And before the scenic artist came, his hap
pineSS to dim,
He adored Miss Oskaloosa and she rather
But how can one mere janitor, in matters
of the heart,
Compete with an exponent of external mu-
raj art?
Oscar Ochre painted figures of heroic sons
of toll
Flooding home against sunset labeled
''USe Hyena OIL"
Which irrelevant inscription did not mar
the purple grass.
Of the foliage of the pOplarS or the waving
cobalt grass
And as Oskaloosa watched him from the
window where she sat.
She thought less and less OF Hargreave
Certain men are born to set aside, to cast
off like a glove,
To toss into the discard, Of the gentle
When tickle maidens play them false, they
don't appear to mind.
But ianitors of Harlem flats are seldom of
that kind!
And consequently Hargreave Hams chewed
grimly his cigar
cent on the ''R.''
Hargreave Hams next day assembled to the
beetling parapet
Of the building down which Oscar on his
staging had been let.
There he waited till the window of fiat
across the street
Opened softly, for he wanted his revenge
to be complete.
And when Oskaloosa's face peered forth,
lit up with love and hope,
Took Hargreave Hams a Ratchet out and
hacked at Oscars rope!
AS the strands were swiftly severed Oscar
scented something wrong
And petitioned for assistance with a voice
both deep and strong.
Hargreave looked at Oskaloosa. "Shall,"
quoth he, 81 cut the line?
7 will spare this painter party If you'll say
that you'll be mine!
Oskaloosa wrung her fingers, signifying
deep distress,
Stretched her hands toward helpless Us
car, sobbed and answered sadly.
Yes
Hargreave Hams Kissed, ''Ha, 1 triumph!
What gladstone hour is thiS!'
But kind friends, pray clinch your tri-
umphs, ere you sit you down to hiss:
Though tits said all men are liars, trust the
other sex, forsooth,
When advantage seems to urge her on to
triie with the truth!
Oscar Ochre and the maiden were united
Tuesday week,
Thus the craven-hearted Hargreave was

Killed who. They talked on these savorv
themes with something like animation
and all the time the lady fed Mossback
up from her luncheon basket l could
see that around this Rip Van Wrinkle fig
ure there had circied q wave of mystery
and romance, though for time he was
quite content merely to eat and drink.

earnest, and his fellow passengers stories
seemed anaemic compared with his rem
iniscences of out the-way mining
camps, both in Canada and in the United
! States. | saw at once that what with
the iack and the atmosphere of defer

across and whispered pompously:

ones mouth shut, and returned to my
newspaper. After this Mossback, too
relapsed into silence, from which the
other passengers made timid and inef-
fectual efforts to draw him.
One by one they got out, and before

with the flask were left as my fellow
passengers. Mossback took another long
pull at the flask and settled himself

Tantalum.

Tantalum is rare metal'' of slight
Importance, the only practical use to
which it is now known to be put being
in making flaments for incand escent
electric lamps. The efficiency of the
tantalum lamp is greater than that of
the carbon lamp, but somewhat less than
that of the lamp with tungsten flaments.
AS more than 10000 filaments of twenty
candlepower can be made from a pound
of tantalum, the market is not large. 1t
is at present probably supplied by rich
manganOtantalates from western Aus
tralia. No tantalum minerals are known
to have been produced III the United
States in 1908, according to E. L. Hess,
whose report on various rare metals
forms an advance chapter of Mineral
Resources of the United States, Calen-
dar Year 1907 published by the geolog-
ical survey. The tantalum used in the
manufacture Of lamps in this country is
made in Germany and imported at cost
of $500 a peund.-Scientiic American.

COCOanut Charcoal

In recent address before the Maine
Medical association Philadelphia ply
stefan testified to the advantages of CO.
c:oanut charcoal as an absorbent of "a
dlum emahations and therefore as a
means of using these carnations for
therapeutic purposes. Air from a com
pressed air tank is passed through =
wash bottle, then through a tube con
tanning radium in solution, whence if
escapes into a tube filled with cOcoanut
charcoal, carrying the radium emana-
tons with it.
The charcoal remains strongly radio
active for two weeks. Shober claims
that cocOanut charcoal can be raised to
200 or 300 times the radioactivity of the
most radioactive water. 1t can be pre-
pared at small expense and the same ra-
dunn can be used over and over again.
1t can be administered internally or a
tube can be applied locally. = Medical

YEARNING.

| wish | were an Eskimo,
And lived in an igloo,
Amid the wastes of ice and snow
DO you know what I'd do?
To make my happiness complete,
Id kill a polar bear,
And so get something good to eat,
And something warm to wear.
Id live on blubber and grow fat,
AS all the Huskies do,
And when l had got tired of that,
I'd make Il musk OK stew.
I'd boldly with the glacier cope,
And climb its slippery side,
And then I'd use the CLASSY slope
For Il toboggan slide.
III shin the iceberg's dizzy height
And look at all the sights.
And sit up all the Arctic night
And watch the northern lights
And then, to make myself name
I'd write a thrilling book,
And thus I'd emulate the fame
OF Peary and of Cook.

Selfridge Is Serene

Ever since Mr.. Selfridge of Chicago
opened his great department store on
Oxford street, London, his business pros
poets have been the subject of incessant
and unfriendly criticism from some of
the financial papers. Selfridge has baf-
fled these critics by his good-humored
equanimity and cleverness in utilizing
their attacks to advertise his business.
The fall in Selfridge bonds inspired

Fined by Federation of Musicians.

An aggregate fine Of $1,000 was i'm
posed by the Chicago Federation of Mu-
sicians upon Francisco Ferrullo, direc-
tor, and Salvatore Tomaso, manager of
Ferullo's band. The fines were levied
for violation of contract stipulations and
for playing engagements at the Coliseum
and the Bismarck gardens last summer
below the union scale of prices. Ferullo
and Tomaso were fined $500 each. The
trial was conducted by the executive
board of the Musicians union. The
fines must be paid within thirty days,
following which an appeal may be taken
to the national executive board. The
alternative is expulsion from the union.

Navy builders may find grim sugges-
tiveness in that fact that the new IA
inch naval gun tested at Indian Head
on the Potomac, hurled a 14OO-pound
projectile a distance of nine miles at
the rate of 1000 feet second. A gun
of this kind on shore would be a dam
gerous thing to warships making coast
