Public Penanee.

In former times persons guilty Of
grievous and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession and,
further, TO make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly In white sheet
In their parish church. The sheet was
used TO show clearly to every one
which was the offender. The last time
that public penance was done In an
English church was on Sunday even
ing, July 80, 1882, when man named
Hartree, In the church of All Saints,
East Clevedon, made an open cOnfes.
sion of immortality and promised to
perform the penance thus imposed on
him by the vicar. No white sheet was
used on this occasion. The last case In
which one was used appears to have
been one in st. Bridgets church, Ches-
ter in 1851, but on that occasion the
penance was not public, the church
door being locked. In the previous
year, however, public penance In a
white sheet was done In country
church in Essex, and n similar thing
occurred in Ditton church, near Cam
bridge, in 1S49.-Stray Stories.

CONDUCTOR KILLED
AT PHILADELPHIA
Union and Non-Uni0n Trolley Men
Engage In Fatal Rloting.

Philadelphia, May 3.-John McGuc-
kin, aged 36, of this city, union con-
ductor, was shot and instantly killed
during a fight between union and non
union motormen and conductors near
the Frankford and Lehigh avenues
barn of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit company.
Victor Farrell. aged 81, non-union
man from Washington, D. c., admits
firing the fatal shot. but maintains
that he shot in self-defense. He is
held without bail to await the action
OF the coroner.
According to Farrell and his friends
they were returning home about !
o'clock In the morning when they
we're set upon by crowd of union
sympathizers, and were being badly
beaten when Farrell pulled revol-
yer from his pocket and fired. Nc
Guckins body was found lying on the
street by a policeman. Farrell and
his friends, who bore marks of the
conflict. were arrested at the Car
barn. Hugh r. Thomas and Eugene
Winters, formerly of Washington;
Samuel Woodward of Baltimore, and
Joseph B. Cummins of San Francisco
were held in bail as witnesses.

An unexpeeted Check.

A man who won a reputation for cool
daring and almost eccentric fearless
ness along a thousand miles Of the
southwestern border was A. L. Par
rot, at one time sergeant in Nc
Nelly's company Of Texan rangers.
One night in 1875, about six months
after PARROT left the state service, he
was sitting In a house In little town
in southwest Texas playing chess with
n friend. 1t was warm night, and
the chessboard was on table close to
an open window. Parrott had the white
men. His queen was In direct line
with the black king, but black knight
was between the two pieces. II was
Parrott's move. Suddenly there was a
sharp report outside, and bullet whis-
tied In through the window, hit the
black knight and buried itself In the
wall. Parrot had been bending over
the board, and the bullet was evidently
intended for his head. But for few
seconds be did not stir. He saw the
black knight suddenly vanish. Then in

A Word For the Tiahtwad.

In France they have an expressive
phrase, ''liquid money" 1t means that
part Of the family income which Is
used for the necessities and luxuries
of life. 1t is quite apart from and
kept apart from the more serious, sub
stantial part Of the income, which Is
the saved part. In America the entire
income is Liquid, and the man who at
tempts to make part Of it solid Is
called "tightwad." A "tightwad''
is really n man who creates princi-
pal-a capital in other words-and he
is the living example of what every
private business must be and Of how
the countrys resources should be han

mails from below 700 fathoms either
have no eyes or faint indications OF
them, or else their eyes are very large

Another strange thing is that II the
creatures in the lower depths have any
color 1t is orange or red or reddish
orange. Sea anemones, corals, shrimps
and crabs have this brilliant color.
Sometimes It is pure red or scarlet,
and In many specimens 1t inclines to-
ward purple. Not green or blue fish
is found.
The orange red is the tish's protec-
tion, for the blush green light In the
bottom of the ocean makes the orange
or the red fish appear of a neutral tint
and hides it from its enemies. Many
animals are black, others neutral in
color. Some fish are provided with
boring tails, so that they can burrow
in the mud.
The surface Of the submarine noun
tain Is covered with shells, like an or
dinary seabeach, showing that 1t is the
feasting place of vast shoals of car
nivorous animals.
A Goldfish takes whole oyster into
its mouth, cracks the shell, digests the
meat and elects the shell. Crabs crack
the shells and suck out the meat. This
accounts for whole mounds of shells
that are often found.
Not a fishbone is ever found that
is not honeycombed by the boring
shellAsh and falls to pieces at the
touch of the hand. This shows wha'

GUN COTTON.
A Peculiar Characteristic Of This Ter
rible Explosive.

rible Explosive.
Many and odd are the materials en-
tering into the manufacture of modern
explosives, but perhaps the most inter-
estlng OF all these elements of destruc-
tion as well as the simplest Is gun cot
ton. The gun cotton manufacturing In
dustry Is large, rs enormous quantities
are used in the charging of torpedoes
and for similar purposes.
The base of gun cotton Is pure raw
cotton or even cotton waste, such ms Is
used to clean machinery. This is steep
ed In n solution of one part of nitric
and three parts Of sulphuric acid. 1t is
the former ingredient that renders the
mass explosive, the sulphuric acid be-
ing used merely to absorb all moisture,
thus permitting the nitric acid to COM
bine more readily with the cellulose OF
the cotton.
After being soaked for several hours
In the solution described the cotton
is passed between rollers to expel
all nonabsorbed acid, process carried
to completion by washing the cotton In
clear water. This washing process Is u
long one. requiring machinery which
reduces the cotton to mass resem-
bling paper pulp. Should any nonab-
sorbed acid be allowed to remain 1t
would decompose the cotton.
II the explosive is to be used after
the manner of powder 1t is still fur
ther pulverized and then thoroughly
dried, but If intended for torpedoes 1t
is pressed into cakes of various shapes
and sizes-disk shaped cylindrical, fiat
squares and cubes. When not com.
pressed gun cotton is very light, as
light as ordinary batting.
A peculiar characteristic of this ter
rible explosive is that n brick OF 1t
when wet may be placed on bed OF
hot Goals, and as the moisture dries out
the cotton will fake and burn quietly.
II dry originally, however, the gun cot
ton will explode with terrible force at
about 800 degrees of heat.
In general II Is the custom to eX-
plode gun cotton by detonation or an
intense shock instead Of by heat. In Il
torpedo the explosive charge Is wet,
this wet cotton being exploded by
means of dry cotton in tube, this
having been fired by cap Of fulmi-
nate OF mercury, the cap itself having
been fired by the impact of the torpedo
against the target.-Harper's Weekly.

SPEcULATlNG ON MARGIN.
American and English Ways Of Doing
n Are Very Different.


In America SPECTATORS capital
with an exception to be noted below
is necessarily at least the size Of his
margin In his brokers' hands, though
It is to be feared that in only too many
instances 1t is just this and nothing
more.
On the London Stock Exchange an
other method prevails which, says
Moody's Magazine. 1t is probable has
done more in the long ago past to give
stock speculation its bad name than
all the episodes Of an unsavory nature
which have ever occurred on Ameri-
can exchanges In London after the
inevitable introduction to a broker the
new customer gives his order, but
makes no deposit at all.
The broker is supposed to learn
something Of his new clients means
and how far he should be allowed to
commit himself. Twice month the
English have what they call their set
tlement days. A customer long Of a
somewhat against him is then required
to pay the differences, as they are
called, between his purchase price and
the current quotation.
He must also pay a charge called a
contango for holding the settlement
over into the next fortnightly period
II he does not wish to close the COM
mitment. AS consequence Of this
way OF doing business speculator
may be trading on few points mar
gin in reality or, In fact, on no margin
at all. He may be utterly penniless
without the broker knowing it.
That this method works out with
fewer losses In England than it would
do here is due to the fact that the
social and economic strata to which an
Englishman belongs are much easier
to determine than the corresponding
facts among us, and also that an intro
duction means more there than here,
as the introducer is regarded as to n
certain extent responsible morally for
the business department Of his friend.
1t is worth while observing (and this
is the exception referred to above)
that IN certain instances the methods
pursued in American stock exchange
houses are the same rs those obtaining
in London. Little as the fact is known,
1t is not an unfrequent custom for very
wealthy spectators to have no fixed
margin or even no margin at all with
their brokers.
If man Of this sort loses on CON-
mitment he sends his broker a check
for the loss. II he wins his brokers
remit to him for his gains. The bro
ker dislikes to offend a very powerful
client by troubling him for funds, and
hence takes risks with his account
which he would not dream Of taking
with the account of smaller men. In
stances of this sort sometimes become
public In cases where the broker is
forced into bankruptcy, whether owing
to this cause or not.
