BLAME EGGPLANT AND ST0RK
How the People Of constantlnople Ae-
count for the Frequent Fires
In That City.

Constantinople is noted for its many
and destructive fires, which the fatal
ist Turk regards as something that
can't be helped. but which probably
other nations do not accept with equal
calmness.
It has been remarkable that these
conflagrations are most frequent in
the months slf August and September,
and the Turks attribute this increase
to the fondness OF the inhabitants for
egg plant. This is a great dainty In
Constantinople, and is usually fried in
oil
When II is plenty and cheap il Is
prepared in almost every household.
and as the kitchens OF the poor are
primitive the frying is usually done
In pans perched previously on the
Goals These are easily upset, the oil
catches Are and there is a conhagra-
ton all ready
But the present CHEF OF the fire de-
partment such as IL is--deciares that
they should not blame the inoffensiye
egg plant, but should accuse the stork
instead He reasons that the stork
builds her nest on the top OF chin
ney A spark sets afire the dry
branches Of which the nest is bulIta
the stork, instead, thinks her neighbor
and as the kitchens or the poor are
stork has planned the fire. and so
takes blazing stick in her beak to
set Are to this nsghbor's nest in re-
yenge.
More often however. the blazing
bunch Is dropped on a root and as at
that time OF year everything is dry as
tinder big fire is burning in few
minutes.

Engineers Brave Ast.

Tom Skaunsey was running a hoist-
ing engine ina Nevada mine. where
three hundred men were employed One
day, just after the twelve o'clock shift
had gone down into the mine and
were well away from the main shaft
at work. 1t was suddenly discovered
that the hoisting works were on FIRE

GOULD NOT RESIST CHANCE
Southern Convict With One More Day
to Serve Seized Opportunity For
Attempt at Escape.

The craving for freedom is so
strong among prisoners that they viii
even throw away their chances Of par
don for the sake OF its temporary
qualification. The author Of The
American Siberia" 4 book describing
convict life in the south. says that
one prisoner had served out a long
sentence up to It's last day He had
worked faithfully, and never violated
prison rule: all Of the officials had
the utmost confidence in him. lie
was to be released the next day, and
meantime was one Of a squad Of men
working out OF doors.
The captain Of the camp had occa-
sion to use a barrel left on the top Of
a neighboring hill, and said Jocosely
TO the prisoner:
do you think you could come back
if I sent you over the hill for that
barrel?'
He laughed at the idea.
why OF course / could, captain"
he replied I've had hundred
chances to escape, and besides, shall
be a free man tomorrow"
go ahead" said the captain.
He started over the hill and was
presently seen returning When the
captain loked up again, he was gone
And the pursuit proved that he had
run about a mile, and then sat down
TO hammer off his irons When he
was captured. he seemed half dazed
and could offer no explanation, except
that he Just couldn't help it,"
Another prisoner knew himself bet
ter. He was to be released in few
days, and the captain said to him, In
reference to some errand
DO YOU think It would be safe for
me to send you over there?"
A singular expression oyerspread
his face, and then, in one burst Of
candor, came its explanation.
Captain" said he, you'd better not
send me. II got that far away.

POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIsT.
The Importance Of Repairing Small
Cuts I'm EnyclODes.

The Importance of Repairing Small
Cuts i'm Envelopes.
TO secure the best possible service
from his tires, the motorist must care
for them properly and nothing is of
greater Importance than prompt re-
pairing OF small cuts i'm the treads.
Ii is impossible to avoid these cuts
as small stones and other sharp OBJ
Jects are bound to come in contact
with the tread. Sometimes these cuts
are small and seem insignificant but
damage results from neglO,tng them
In fact, unless repaired promptly they
Will eventually bring about the COM
plete destruction of the envelope
Stones, dust and dirt work in and un
der the tread raising blisters and
separating the rubber from the can
vas Moisture also gets in and quick
ly rots the fabric and dis-intcgration
follows.
Immediately on discovery of cuts
the edges and interior should be thor
oughly cleaned with gasoline, separat-
ing the edges with match or small
stick to expose the inside. All foreign
matter must be removed and when the
cut is perfectly clean, the interior and
edges should be coated with cement.
After allowing the first coat TO dry
apply another and while still "tacky,"
knead with the fingers sufficient mas
