PUZZLED THE LINGUIsT.
A Hindu Dialect Story That Appeared
In the London Times.

A Hindu Dialect Story That Appeared
In the London Times.
John Walter of the London Times
once found unique way out of diff
Guilty brought about by strike of
compositors and pressmen. At the
critical moment, it appears. the copy"
fell short by half column. There was
none at hand ready to utilize, and time
pressed. 1t was really an inspiration
that came to Walter. He laid hold Of
column of ''pi" Spilled type that has
been reset in jumbled mass to facili-
tate distribution back into the type
cases. and prepared it in the most ex-
peditious way, so that it might pass
muster for an article in q foreign
tongue. He ran it in with few lines
of introduction, stating that this in
comprehensive mass was paper in
some Hindustanee dialect, translation
Of which would follow in due course.
No translation. it is superhuous to say.
ever appeared.
Many years later, long after Walter
had forgotten this incident, he was WIS.,
iting in Cheshire. where he was intro
duced to most learned pundit and
oriental scholar. "Ah." said this gen.
tleman, Il have long and ardently
wished to solve problem that has
puzzled me for years." And he drew
from his pocket tattered clipping OF
Walters ''pi.' indicating to the en-
barrassed proprietor of the Times that
the alleged Hindustanee article had
baf1ed his most strenuous and assidu-
GUS efforts to decipher. although he
had tried every known dialect of the
language. There was nothing for Wal
ter to do but fee. which he did with
out ceremony.

MAKING STEAM WORK.
Unfortunate Inventors Who Antedated
James Watt


James Watt took out patent on his
steam engine in 1863, but as far back
as 1913 there was captain in Spain
who constructed vessel of 200 tons
and propelled it at Barcelona in the
presence of the Emperor Charles v.
and his court by an engine, the con-
struction of which he kept a secret.
But an old document says that in it
was a monster caldron Of water and
that there were two movable wheels
on the outside of the vessel. The EN-.
peror was satisfied with its operation,
but the treasurer of the kingdom OBJ
jected to 1t, and so no encouragement
was given to the enterprise. The poor
inventor, whose name was Blasco de
Guerrero, wearied and disguised at the
want of patronage. took the engine out
Of the vessel, and the secret of the
machine was buried in his grave.
The incident was almost duplicated
In France a century later. The ia
nous Marian de rOrme, a celebrated
Frenchwoman, who lived to be 1874
years old, told in letter to an admir-
er, dated 1641, of a man confined in a
madhouse of Paris for urging that
anything could be done by the force
of steam. The mans name was Solo
mon de Coste, native of Normandy,
and it was because he had persistently
followed Cardinal Richelieu, imploring
him to take an interest in his inven-
ton, that he was put behind bars

Indians captured the ambulance with

until this one happened along but they
knew that 1t contained money; also
they wanted that money.
They first pounded of the knob with
stones. under the impression that the
door could then be pried open. Their
attempt was. Of course. failure. The
next step was to try their tomahawks
on the chilled steel in the hope that.a
hole might be cut In it. This means.
too. proved of no avail. so they de-
termined to try fire. Accordingly,
they gave the safe three hour roast
ing. Luckily for the government. it
was fireproof. They threw big rocks
upon it while it was hot. but they were
as far from the money as ever.
Next the Apaches dragged the safe
up the side Of mountain and tumbled
1t over precipice 200 feet high. They
expected. Of course, to see it burst
open, but the only damage was slight
injury to one of the wheels. The safe
was left soaking in the river for three

Then they tried gunpowder; but.
knowing nothing of the art Of blast
ing. they brought about an explosion
that burned half a dozen warriors and
left the safe none the worse.
The Indians worked over that safe
of and on for a month or more. but
failed to get at the inside. Finally. in
disgust. they left it in deep ravine.
Fourteen months later. when peace
came. the army accidentally found the
safe. 1t was lying in the bed Of a
creek with great pile of driftwood
around it. 1t was a sad looking safe.
but when opened showed its contents
intact.-Harper's Weekly.

Utilities Bill.

The first public hearing on tho
public utilities bill was attended by
representatives of many of the pub
lie service corporations of the state
The discussion, which was taken part
In by the counsel for the various
companies on the one side and At
torney General Bell and Representa-,
tive Gilpin Robinson for the state,
resulted in battle between lawyers
and was along legal lines through.
out. The gist of the arguments ad.
vanced by the corporation lawyers
was that the utilities bill In its
present form was unnecessary. un.
fair and burdensome in that it not
only compelled the corporations OF
the State to obey existing laws.
which they were always ready to
do, but in addition they were COM
PEELED under the provisions of the
bill to have additional rules and
regulations thrown around them.
