A GENEROUS BANDIT.
The Double Action Trick That Was
Turned by Cartouche.

The Double Action Trick That Was
Turned by Cartouche.
Old time bandits were much more
attractive than those of today. There
is nothing chvalrous about the auto
mobile robbers of America and France.
as there was about such men as Car
touche. Here is an anecdote of which
Cartouche was the hero:
One evening he was crossing the
Pont Neuf. in Paris, when he saw
poor wretch about to leap over the
parapet into the Seine. The brigand
stopped him and asked why he wanted
to bid adieu to life. The would be sui
eide Informed him that he was on the
point of bankruptcy and that he pre-
ferred facing death to facing his cred
itors.
Cartouche was touched and told the
man to call his creditors together on
the morrow and they should be paid
In full.
The creditors assembled. Cartouche
went over their accounts. paid them
all. got their receipts and said goodby
to his grateful beneficiary.
1t Is almost needless to add that
when the creditors left Cartouche met
them and relieved them of all he had
given.-Eychange

Legend OF the sunken Bells.

Somewhere beneath the soil of Sus-
sex, England. there lies a peal of
bells. while in the church near by a
solitary bell calls to prayer In the
middle ages, it is said, certain val
liant knight wished to present to the
church peal of bells that should be
Of use and perpetuate his memory as
well. but the vessel that brought them
careened on approaching the harbor,
and the bells fell out and sank into the
mud. Thereupon the donor declared:
Never shall the church have chime
until that peal l give it be dragged
from the sea by team Of four milk
white oxen"
The oxen seem to have been difficult
to obtain. At any rate. the fact re-
mains that to this day the edifice to
which the pious knight made his bene-
faction has never possessed more than
single bell.

PINEAPPLE PLANTS.
They Do Not Die After Fruitins, but
Reproduce Themselves.

Reproduce Themselves.
Pineapples do not grow on trees. I'm.
agine q plant four feet in extreme
height from the ground to the tip of
leaves. single stalk at the surface.
but dividing at once into swordike
blades or leaves. fifteen in number.
from the center of which appears a
stiff. upright stem, at the top of which
is the fruit This stem is short. and
the crown of the fruit when fully
grown is a foot or more below the
points of the leaves.
At the end of year and q half from
planting each plant produces a single
fruit, even as cabbage plant produces
a single head. But the pineapple does
not die after fruiting once. Down on
the stem below the fruit and among
the long. narrow leaves a sucker ap-
pears. If allowed to remain this will
soon become the head of the plant, and
within another year it will yield an
other fruit. This process may 20 on
for a term of years. In the meantime,
however. other suckers will make their
appearance.
These are broken off. and when stuck
into the ground they put out roots and
become other plants. Thus a single
pineapple plant may produce a dozen
or more others while it is yielding
fruit from year to year.

FIRE DANGER AT SEA.
How Flames Can Sweep the Inside Of
Even q Metal Ship.

Even Metal Ship.
The danger from fire on a transat-
lantic liner is more serious than is gen.
orally believed. 1t is much greater
than the danger from collision and is
becoming more and more dangerous
with the increased outlay upon luxury
and display. The main structure Of the
ship and most Of fits essential parts are
of metal, but many of the fittings. near
ly every feature of ornament and every
trapping Of luxury, are highly inflam-
mable.
No one who has not been aboard the
Spanish wrecks at Santiago can con-
ceive how fire can sweep the inside Of
even a metal ship. Admiral Cervera
described to me the experience on
board the Teresa in these words: "The
second shot that came on board set us
on fire. The fire main was damaged.
Soon we were unable to cope with the
fire. 1t swept through her from bow
to stern. There was not a space as big
as the palm Of your hand where life
could have been sustained. An insect
could not have lived on board. We had
to get overheard or be burned"
1t Is true the Spaniards had not cut
out their woodwork and thrown over
board all unnecessary infiammables. as
we had in the American feet, but the
infiammability Of one Of their war
ships was much less than that of
luxurious ocean liner.-Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson in Engineering
Magazine.

Bow Legged Men.

DO not revile the bow legged man.
for he plays an important part in the

of mankind are bow legged, so nu-
merically this class is entitled to great
respect. Bow legs invariably accom-
pany robust physique. We find them
one of the conspicuous features of

ways bow legged. OF the bow legged
geniuses to which humanity points
with pride the most illustrious exam
pies are Caesar, Horace, Napoleon.

CATS AS THEY FALL
They Can Land on Their Feet No Mat
ter How They Drop.

They Can Land on Their Feet No Mat
ter How They Drop.
1t is a common saying that II a cat
is dropped in any way whatever 1t will
always alight on its feet. Since a man
cannot lift himself by his boot straps
or a boat cannot propel itself through
the water except by pressing against
the water in some way one may we'll
wonder whether this is not one of the
common sayings which are fallacious.
The general principles involved are Of
such interest that the question was
taken up a few years ago for consider
alton at session Of a French scien-
tific society.
1t is a fact that It is dynamically
possible for a cat to turn over, no mat
ter how dropped. and experiments
have shown that they actually do 1t.
II a balloonist or air man should fall
from great height and should find
that he were descending so as to strike
ON his head he could turn himself over
so as to strike upon his feet If he
knew the proper means of accomplish
ing it. But the distance he would have
to fall in order to have time to turn
over would be so great that he could
have only an academic interest in strik-
ing on his feet rather than on his head.
for the final result to him would be
the same in either case.-Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

When a youth marries he has got

DEFENDANTS At
BOTTOM OF SEA


An admiralty suit in which the de-
PENDANTS are a ship now lying at the
bottom of the sea and a captain who
persisted with her was set for hearing
before Judge'Dole yesterday afternoon
Really, there are two suits, the plain
tiff being the same in each. One is
that of Paul Martin versus James
Fullerton, master of the ship Fort
George, an action for wages; the 9th
or is that of Martin versus the ship
herself, an action of personal injuries
alleged to have been received by him
while employed aboard the vessel.
The ship sailed out of the harbor
che fair day about three years ago
and was never heard of again. It is
supposed that she went down with all
of her crew, including the captain who
is one Of the defendants.
R. w. Breckons yesterday, when
the two cases We're called to be set,
suggested that there was no use in 60
ing. ahead with suit against a man
and a ship now lying at the bottom of
the sea- George A. Davis, attorney
for the plaintiff, objected strenuously.
He claimed that, although the defen-
dants might be under the sea, still
there was a bond against which dam
ages might be assessed.
