Waves Pronel Shius.

John Luck of Brooklyn has devised
a plan to apply wave power to the pro-
pulsion of vessels crossing the ocean.
At his home, 1906 Newkirk avenue,
he has on exhibition a model of his
invention.
1t represents the hull of a vessel
equipped with water tanks fore and
aft. In the center of the craft is a
piston rod operated by series of
cogwheels, which furnishes motor pow
er for the ship. Theoretically the
weight of water stored In the tanks
will be sufficient to put the machinery
in motion and move the ship. This
force will be applied by the rise and
fall of the hull, occasioned by the ac-
ton of the waves.
If, for instance, wave five feet
high should strike the vessel astern,
tons of force would be thrown upon
the operating machinery, which would
be simultaneously affected by the
suction of the receding waters in 9th
er tanks on the opposite end of the
boat 1t would not, therefore, af-
feet the power of propulsion If the
tides were adverse to the course OF
the ship
Rocking of the boat my cross cur
rents would have no effect on the pow
err pressure. The device Is of simple
construction and the inventor asserts
that its cost would be saved in week
by the saving of fuel and labor

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Pensioners Remark, However, Lett
Young Minister Somewhat in
in the Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of a small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and "a large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits or
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli-
ment, but which was put to him in
such a way that it left him in doubt
a. to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one Of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are SO in
structive. Do you believe it, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

Accuracv of Unaimed Bullets

Unless you have considerable expe-
rience with firearms you may dis
charge a small caliber rife hun
dred times at target and never put
a mark on it. You may fire one OF
the trifling little 22s direct into flee
ing rabbits carcass and he'll run
away with the bullet and waggle his
ears at you derisively. But let liv-
ing man come anywhere near you
when you're playing with the other
wise harmless gun, and you'll not only
hit him every time but you'll newt
ably find a vital spot and lay him low
the very first shot.
If some wise student of trajectories
and ballistics and other mysteries of
gunnery could puzzle out the princl'
ple that underlies this phenomena he
would add something to the worlds
knowledge that would preserve his
name for the admiration OF genera
tons to come.

WANT ORLEANS TO BE KING
of Royalists and Frequently Create
Excitement in Paris.

The Offshoot of the Orleanist partS,
calling themselves the "Camelots du
Roi," which every now and then get
up a little excitement in Paris by
assaulting ministers, would seem to
be the French equivalent of our
suffragettes, says an English paper.
They are supposed to be agitating
for the overthrow of the French re-
public and the return of the Due dor
leans as king, but it is very doubtful
indeed whether this sort of thing is
likely to help the duke up the steps
of throne.
The society is composed of all
sorts and conditions of men and WON
en-, from members of the old French
nobility down to walters and artisans.
The Marquise de Vasselot de Rogue
is a prominent member, and so is
Count BONN de Castellane.
The marquise is one of the mar
tyrs' of the cause. A few months
ago she was awarded FIVE days i'm
prisonment for 1.-The use of insulting
terms" and for riotous behavior at a

Nobody was more pleased than the
marquise herself at the sentence. She
was sentenced during her absence
from Paris, but she promptly return.
ed and was presented with sheaves
of flowers by admiring royalists as she
entered the prison.
The 'hawkers" generally confne
themselves to ''riotous behavior" oc
casionally indulging in special little
excitement, like the attempt of Mat
tbs, a waiter, to pull M. Fallieres
beard, because he would make him
look so ridiculous"
Another of their little attempts to
reinstate the Due d'Orleans on the
throne of France was perpetrated one
dark night, when the conspirators sal
lied forth with pots of paint, and
Paris woke up next morning, to find
that a number of statues, erected to
the memory of senators and other
harmless folk, had been daubed with
brilliant coats of red paint.
Such performances have, in fact,
made the duke appear not little ridi-
culous at times, and q few months
ago he was moved to declare in an
interview that these tactics do more
harm than good"

Time is a relative quantity. Some
minutes seem like hours, and some
hours seem like minutes. How to con-

but the little boy mentioned below
seems to have progressed pretty well

The teacher was surprised to see
that he remained perfectly idle all

him why he did not play.
