mound up on the cliff.head that 10
formed by the observatory. 1t can't
be buried so very deep in the snow
because the mound isn't so very big.
I'm going up there now to dig 1t out
enough. at least, so that l can take
wing from there"
you never can dig out enough snow
to get a running start up there" she
objected.
II sha'n't have to. I'll just dive OF

Phillip. you sha'n't!"
why not?"
You know what you told me your
self That none of the big birds can
take to the air without a running
start; and about taking pelicans and
birds like that up into high buildings
and throwing them out of windows,
and how they were always killed"
That's because they've only got
instinct instead of intelligence. None
of their family had ever been thrown
out of windows before, and they didn't
know what to do. But I can get my
start quite as safely that way as any
other Oh, yes. I've done 1t. Do you
imagine, Jeanne dear, that I'd take an
unnecessary risk so long as my life
is the only possible protection there
is for yours?"
He spent the rest of the day tun-
nelling out from the observatory. He
did not dig in the snow; he simply
packed 1t, gradually enlarging the
space from a section the size of the
pilot house door to a space at the
cliffs edge wide enough for the full
spread of his wings.
Jeanne was watching on the beach
when he made his first fight from
this aerie, and, in spite of her con.
fldence In his powers, she endured
horrible moment or two. For he came
hurtling down, head first, at an angle
| of 60 degrees; and he had traversed
two-thirds of the distance to the beach
before his line detected outward and
began curving up toward the hori-
zontal. 4
When she saw that he was safe,
| that he had really done the thing he
had said he could, she dropped down
upon bear-skin, which was spread
before the hut, and shut her eyes, for
what she had seen had turned her
bit giddy.
That feeling passed in a moment
She opened her eyes and lay, stretch

She sat up suddenly, erect, upon
the bear skin, with the realization that
1t was nearly dark. Their hours of
daylight were getting very scanty
now. Today's allowance was gone, al
though it was not yet three in the aft
ernoon.
She looked aloft for Cayley, but
could not see him. Then, the next
moment, she heard the whine of the
air through his rigging. and he sailed
down on a long slant and alighted be-
side her.
He got clear of his planes with an
unaccountable air of haste, and held
out both hands to help her rise.
"What do we do with sentinels who

It is not often that one gets tn. opportunity of hearing a grand op era prima donna in popular price vaudeville. yet such a chance is giv. en the patrons of the Princess thea ter this week, where Rose Ivey ali operatic star of the brightest mag. nitude is one of the stellar attrac- tions at the city's leading theater. Miss lvey, however, does not share all of the honors, for there are four other acts on the bill, each one of which is well worth the price of ad-
 mission. One, too, cannot forget the masterful dancing of Albert's Russian dancers, and the exemplifl cation they give of the many dances of Russia is truly wonderful. The bill for the last half is also of ex- ceptional merit. Included in the acts are the Aisak Japs, who do g marocu- lous act, Miss Elina Gardner a sing. ing and talking comedienne; The Hl. dalogoes, whose novelty has drawn big houses wherevr they nave appear ed; Becker and Rowland, sketch team of decided ability, and klel Ott and Nicholson, another excellent musical comedy sketch.

the ponderous car in its clumsy wheels, many will work themselves up to a degree of religious fervor little short of madness. And fanatics there will be, as of old, who will attempt to throw themselves to destruction un- der the murderous wheels, as a volun- tary sacrifice to their idol But this year. as for many years past, British civil officers will be on hand to pre- vent any act of suicide.
 Hindus believe that to gain the fa- vor of Juggernaut opens for them the gates of heaven. Therefore, in the days before the British occupation of India. natives occasionally cast their bodies under the car to be crushed to a pulp, the belief being that such self immolation speedily would be reward cd by entrance into Paradise
 The car is 43 feet high. Its wheels are each more than six feet high A wooden cage around the top. an addi- ton of recent years. keeps fanatics from jumping upon the car in the hope o1 looking upon their idol within.

New Carpets Heat Rooms.

Paris.-Electric carpets for heating rooms are. according to La Liberte. shortly to come into fashion in Paris The under side of the new carpets consists of a network of steel wires. forming a contact, and insuring that the current shall be equally distribut- ed in all directions. It is said that the cost of the new system of heating will be less than that of any known system. It is estimated that a room fitted with one of the new electric carpets can be heated at total cost of cent an hour.

decks that tells of a riven target Down in the turrets of the great 12- inch guns the gun pointers say they hear practically no noise at all of the explosions. Their attention is concen- trated on the three-foot recoil of the big monster that they have to neigh bor with while at work.
 The men in the turrets go about their labors with the rapt attention of bookkeepers trying to strike difficult trial balance. There are loaders, she'll men, sight setters-one manipulating the defiections with a lamp strapped on his forehead-all stripped to the waist Most of them are gay with tattoo marks-peacocks and Bookcases of Liberty being the favorite designs. Usually the pointer is the least mus cular of the lot. Sometimes he is a milk-cheeked youth with a limpid eye but a sure one. When the huge breech picks itself up on its hind legs and settles back in a quiet recoil, the men reel of the lightning mechanism of their drill with confident litheness that is almost uncanny. They will even kill cockroach or two on the white armor between salvos.
 The shock of just one of these great projectiles, weighing 1,400 pounds, is equal to that of a heavy locomotive and five Pullmans crashing into some thing at the rate of 70 miles an hour. The muzzle energy of one of the big guns that the new Dreadnoughts carry is 65,600 foot tons. To explain in plain language what this means. suppose that 16,000-ton battleship be put on top of 32,000-ton Lusitania, and one of the biggest of the Sound steamers placed on top of that. The total weight of the three would be nearly 60.000 tons. Next try to conceive the power that would be necessary to raise that huge load. The muzzle energy of one of these guns is equal to this task. The energy exerted at the moment of discharge is so tremendous that it would be able to lift all three vessels one foot

The average speed attained by these strange craft is about 30 to 40 miles an hour.

 MT. Glidden is president of the Bos- ton Aerial Navigation company. He Is a firm believer in the practicabil- ity of carrying passengers in great aeroplanes, and he thinks the time has come for commercial airships.

Man Hangs Over Abandoned We'll for Two Hours and When Exhausted
 Drops Six Inches.

Sharon. Pa.-While tramping over a field to make a short cut to his home at a late hour George Hoven walked on the boards of an abandoned well and fell through. He was able to grab hold of a crossbeam and succeed ed in linking his arms about 1t. Then he screamed for help. but his cries were not heard.
 After clinging to the support for about two hours Hoven began to grow weak. The freezing air was also tell ing on him and he was fast losing his strength. He offered up prayer and allowed his arms to relax. He fell. expecting to be killed. Instead, he dropped only six inches. as the well had been filled in within about five feet of the top. The fright at tending the moments while he hung suspended in the air completely un- nerved him.

CALL IT A HAPPINESS TAX"
Residents of Berlin Object to Assess- ment on Amusements-Auth
 ties Are Firm.

Berlin.-What is described as a tax on happiness is novel feature of legislation that Is arousing the ire of citizens of Berlin. To increase the city's revenues the authorities have formulated a measure levying a spe- cial direct tax on all forms of enter tainment, except those for the benefit of schools and charities. Any one sell ing a ticket to a theatrical perform ance, circus or dance will have to pay a tax ranging from 10 to 25 per cent of the cost of the ticket
 Even the cheap moving picture shows that charge eight cents are as sessed 1A cents for every visitor.
 The amusement loving Berliners are raising a wrathful protest against what they declare 10 be an unjust tax on simple and harmless pleasures. The authorities are firm in their pur- pose, and insist on putting tho meas ure through. It is estimated .he tax will bring in a revenue of $250.0oo annually.

aIn Eeet: Normal Mlnds.

Paris-That the majority of normal minded men have big feet and most normal minded women small feet is the latest scientific discovery an- nounced to the world by the Paris Academy of Sciences. It comes from Professor Macauliffe and Marie. who. for several months, have been measur- ing the feet of French people in all walks of life.
 They found that eighteen out of every one hundred soldiers were small footed and only twenty-four of every one hundred weak-minded men big footed. On the other hand they found that only twenty-three of every one hundred normal women were large footed, while only eighteen of two hum dred weak-witted women were small footed.
 This is considered to confirm the ancient theory that woman is mans equal, for the reason that she is his exact opposite.

FISH DEALER MIXED ORDERS
Senator Frye Made Good Showing In Weight but the Herring Was
 Smoked.

Far more unerringly than by an1 weather bureau prediction, the ap proach of spring is indicated by the gleam of the piscatorial fervor that irradiates the eyes of Senator Frye oi Maine just before the opening of the fishing season. During the winter while the streams are ice bound and the spruce trees are white with snow, the senator loves now and then to re late a fish story.
 He tells of a memorable trip on which Senator Spooner joined him al his choicest trout stream. They had it all arranged, after having called into counsel reliable fish dealer and e trustworthy congressman, that box oi trout should arrive every other day at Senator Frye's home to indicate the success with which they were casting the fly.
 The plan worked beautifully-"oi course we caught some and some we didn't"-but the expressman was fair. ly regular in the weight of fish for warded, and the prepaid charges were about the same from day to day. All WCuI HC4A OAS QdJ 0ISpellCn came from the Frye domicile.
 Rush two more boxes smoked her ring. They are great. Are the salt mackerel running also?''
 There was a busy time with the wires just then, for the fish dealer had got his orders mixed. and instead of shipping fresh trout to Frye's home, he had sent herring-thoroughly smoked But the senator was equal to it. Camp supplies had been mixed with the fish caught that day-of course. He hastened his reply:
 You received the bait by mistake. Nothing but smoked herring will ever catch fresh trout, you know"
 Senator Spooner usually concludes the tale truthfully by giving the re turn message:

THIS RAILWAY RUN BY SAIL
Strange Craft Attain an Average Speed of Thirty to Forty Miles
 an Hour.

Valparaiso, Chile-The most re- markable railway of its kind in the world is that between Antafagasta and Orouro in Chile. An engineer in charge of some important government coast improvements found the time spent by workmen in carrying materi- als from the little town to the place of operations a costly item. He hit upon a most novel scheme to over come the difficulty which proved sue cessful from the start.
 He took advantage of the trade winds which prevail in these regions. Finding that during several hours in the morning and evening there was Q stiff breeze blowing he had a large number of fair-sized box cars built which not only accommodated the men coming and going to work, but also proved amply sufficient to transport the material needed for construction
