SCIENTIFIC PUZZLES

EVERYONE knows that the diamond is
II only charcoal crystallized; but there are
a great many other things i'll Nature that,
though possessing widely different proper
ties, arc composed of exactly equal guam
titles of the same elements.
The white of an egg and rattlcsnakc poison
arc formed of idcntically the same amounts
of the same elements.
The oil of roses and common coal gas are
each formed alike, both being composed OF
four atoms of hydrogen and four atoms OF
carbon.
Sugar and gum arabic are likewise brothers
of the same weight and texture.
All the hydrocarbons, known to science as
a combination of sixteen atoms of hydrogen
and ten atoms of carbon, are alike in their
composition. To cnumerate some: Oil of
orange, lemon, cloves, ginger, and black
pepper.
The suggested explanation of these pecu
1iaritics is that the atoms are placed differ
emily toward one another in the molecules
of the different substances.
Other things just as peculiar are evident
when certain substances arc united Chem1c-
ally. Thus hydrogen gas, which is odorless,
and nitrogen gas, which is also odorless,
when united GO to make ammonia, which
has very strong odor. Copper, which has
no odor, and zinc, which also has none, when
melted and mixed to give us brass, pro
duce substance with a characteristic one.

"Who the mischief is calling me from that
five hundred year-old battleship:" came the
astonished rejoinder.
"Well, at present it's the self appointed
Admiral of the Began of Lundira's navy; so
you ought to dip that American flag out of

eff it isn't Mr.. Morgan!"
1t may be here remarked that Alibux was
the first into the Mariposa's boat, judging
it prudent to transfer his service from the
Began to Morgan.
Out of all this question has occasionally
~ bothered Morgan. Did the Began in
tend that couple to be drowned, or did she
not? Was Ibrahim right or wrong in his es-
innate of her meaning? On some occasions
it has been the custom for a native ruler to
say, "You may go Free" well knowing that
the words would be reversely interpreted by
the waiting executioners. In case of subsc-
quent trouble there would appear 20 have
been mistake, with the responsibility rest
ing on other shoulders. Therefore, 1brahim
might have been justified, according to his
light in such circumstances.
But Morgan recalls not only the Bcgam's
inscrutable smile, but the last lo"k she cast
on the man, SO nearly resembling admira-
ton. He believes that Alibux was all wrong,

rupted with ready sympathy. "That would

Winters saw that the crisis was at hand.
He tried to face it like man; but something
in the unsuspecting countenance of the little
woman made him hesitate and stammer
painfully. "We1l, as a matter of fact" he
managed to say, "they seem to think that

He had got it out at last, and he breathed
a sigh of relief when Miss GrimSby did not
faint at the suggestion.
Emmy seized upon it eagerly before the
II mild-eyed spinster could begin her timid
objections, and rushed delightedly from
Winters to Miss Grimsby. "Oh, won't you,
Miss Grimsby?" she pleaded, throwing one
slender arm round that startled little wom
ans neck. "I'd be awfully good! I'd do all
the work, and you could stay in the store all

and l wasn't never in nice, clean kitchen

tiny frown puckering her usually placid
brow. II should dearly love to take her."

keep would undertake: | should have her

She was trembling with emotion and a bit
white when she ended this long speech, and
Samuel was staring thoughtfully at the floor,

"and that's one reason | hesitate to make

A ND then, as they sat there bordering
on what seemed hopeless problem
little Emmy took the threads of Fate into her
fingers and deftly wound them into d cord
that no one would have dreamed an hour
before could be fashioned. She had been
looking from one t. the other of her friends,
big eyed with wonder that SO simple thing
as her home place should be such a problem.
Her busy little brain had been working on
it too, and suddenly she announced her so
luton.
81 know what to do, Miss Grimsby," she
said with simple directncss that made both
the elders stare. "You want to keep me,
and you can't because you are all alone

because he has no place only at Mrs. Ger
stenberg sand I'd rather have him than
anyone in the world for nv new Papa. Why
don't you and Mr.. Sam get married and be
my new Papa and Mann and then we can
all live here"
Emmy" Miss Grinsby almost shrieked,
crimson checked and bossoming from her
faded beauty like a rcviving flower, what
on earth arc you saylng!"
But Sam Winters did not stop to rcprove
Emmy. He was on his feet III an instant, his
eyes glowing with excitement, his huge hands
held out in cntrcaty toward the embarrassed
Miss Grimsby.

of it; but now it's out. Will you marry me
and take chance on the future with a big

make good, I'll have something to work
for then-you and little EMMY
Miss Grimsby had risen in alarm and
started to retreat before the imprisoned add
vance of Winters; but she thought better
of it before she had gone three steps and
raised her tcar-wct eyes to meet his honest
gaze. Emmy danced about them in ecstasy,
adding her pleadings to those of Sam, and
slowly, very slowly, Miss Grimsby raised her
hands and held them out to him.

and that the mans appeal for the girl was
the sole plea that would have touched her
nature. Hence Ibrahim was at fault also,
and nearly added another tragic blunder to
those which have thus gone before in the
course of oriental justice. On the whole,
Morgan thinks the Began was sincere in her
verdict. If so, she owes something to Nor
gan's mishap in tumbling off his yacht into

?. Johnson knows that Jeanette
does not fear him and therefore
will fight at top speed.
3. Johnson's best blow is an up-
percut-both right and left. Jean
nette is not a rushing fighter and
stands erect. 1t will be impossible
for Johnson to use an uppercut ex-
cept when in a clinch on Jeanette.
4. JohnSon's best blows, including
the uppercut, will be of little use
to him. for Jeanette is a bear on

early rounds McVey made a chop-

the 25th round on Joe came back
strong and all but knocked Samuel

McNey TO a finish fight.
McVey agreed, after being given
about all the money there was in the

the greatest fight ever witnessed
east of the Atlantic ocean.
For forty rounds McVey made
punching bag out of Jeanette
knocking him down 90 separate
and distinct times. But in the 41st
round McVey began to tire-tire
from punching Jeanette so hard
and often. And right there the
tide of battle changed.
From then on through the 4Sth
