USE FOR OLD BLUEPRINTS
-Bleached by a Simple Process, They
Furnish Sketch Paper of
Fair Grade.

In the engineering department OF
every mine office, bueprints will accu-
mulate until the quantity has reached
amazing proportions. Some compa-
MES keep record and file of all prints
made and at periodical times destroy
the old ones. In addition to this. says
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
at the time of printing, there is sure
to be certain waste due TO poor ex-
posures, blotchy paper. etc. A method
for turning this waste into a useful
article is presented by e. B. Brken.

These old or useless prints may re
bleached by immersing them in soda
bath containing four ounces of soda
to one gallon of water. If 1t Is desired
to bleach only portion of the print
this may be done by painting that part
with this solution BY washing the
prints in fresh water. after bleaching
any discoloration is prevented. The
blank paper thus obtained furnishes
fair grade of sketch paper, and
there are numerous other uses to
which it could also be put.

searchlight on the junk The scene
it revealed beggared the experience of
man whose trade was fighting; it
fell upon decks slippery with blood
and Uttered with the bodies of dead
and wounded; it silenced confusion
indescribable. Upon that insane turmoil
the light fell with the effect of a thun-
derbolt from a clear sky.
Screaming shrilly in their panic, the
Chinese scattered and fell away, leav-
ing O'Rourke beside Couch, Wheeler
being down and buried beneath three
Chinese corpses. And instantaneously
something grated harshly against the
tarbOard side of the junk, and man,
his figure stark black against the cold
white glare, leaped upon the rail and
tumbled inboard. Others to the num-
Der Of a dozen followed him. swarm
ing over the decks. Couch reeled to-
wards them, babbling orders and in
structions.
The second launch. had arrived.
Sick and faint O'Rourke slouched
back against the rail. watching with
lack-luster eyes the end of the chap
ter. 1t was simple to the point of
seeming farcical in comparison with
that which preceded it. The dazed and
now outnumbered Chinese offered no
further resistance. Disarmed and put
under guard, they disappeared from
his consciousness, while he watched
the men from the second launch
spurred by Couch, scatter in search of
the abducted women
Loss of blood was beginning to tell
upon him; his strength seemed alto
gether gone; his wits buzzed in his
head like a swarm of gnats. He
grasped his support convulsively, be-
ginning to appreciate how seriously
he was hurt He heard as from great
distance thin, faint cries of men shout
ing in triumph; saw Couch, a pygmy
shape, holding in his arms a doll who
wore the face of Miss Pynsent Then
of a sudden he was conscious of
woman fastening toward him, a fan
tastic and homogeneous figure in a din
ner-gown, her skirts trailing in the
slime of the shambles, her arms out
held to him; and knew her for his
wife.
He essayed to speak, but could not.
He felt her arms close about him. In
the face of the searchlights penetrat-
ing and undertaking glare, night
closed down upon him.

Pure food law labels were in ex-
istence in 900 B. c., according to a
discovery made by Prof. George A.
Reisner, of Harvard. Inscriptions ex-
cavated in the ancient city of Sa-
maria in Palestine are labels which
were employed as seals on jars Of
wine and OIL. They mention the
years in which the wine was laid
down in the cellar of the palace store
house and they state the vineyard
from which the wine came These
labels, about 70 in number. have been
dug up on the ruins of the storehouse
attached to the palace of King Ahab
some 5000 years ago and the names
of the owners as given indicate that
not only the king himself but other
men stored their wines and oils there.

ity ahead. IF there were only star
Stand by, Wheeler, to stop the motor.
Well drop alongside with the current,
as quietly as we can. Colonel
O'Rourke, will you get forward and
take the boathook and headwarp,
| please; I'm needed at the wheel and
fast"
Cautiously the Irishman rose, took
the boathook Couch offered him, and
crept out upon the narrow triangle OF
deck at the bows Crouching there.
he found the headwarp and waited,
ing ahead in futile effort to penetrate
the wide, shadowy reaches of the riv-
er. But the mystical distances con-
fused and eluded him The launch
seemed to move, painting, in an abyss
of night. She made little noise: a
hiss of water beneath her stem; the
steady humming of the motor, throt-
tied down to half speed; the muffied
gaSping of the exhaust And present
ly even these ceased at word from
Couch, and the launch moved only
with the tide
Abruptly towering wall of opaque
black rose out of the darkness to
starboard. O'Rourke braced himself
for the imminent instant of action,
poised so lightly upon his toes and
fingertips that swell from moving
vessel would have thrown him off
his balance, perhaps overheard The
launch closed swiftly and silently in
upon the black wall; it lowered over
MIN like a cliff; far above he could
see dim divisions between black and
black that must be the rail. And he
shook his head, dismayed; he could
never scale that, he thought: not even
the O'Rourke could accomplish a mir
acle. But in a breath it had faded
back and he realized that the tower
ing poop Of the junk had misled him
They We're now alongside at the waist.
He stood up and saw low railing
moving and caught it over the edge OF
the rail, drew the launch in, let go the
boathook and, with the headwarp
wrapped about his hand, jumped
Something dealt him vicious, all
but paralysing, blow in the pit of the
stomach; he doubled up, for a mo-
ment helpless, across the junk's rail,
but retained sufficient presence of |
mind to hold on to the headwarp. !
Then, recovering a trife, he squirmed !
over and fell sprawling UPON the deck,
his heels drumming an abrupt and |
violent alarm. From somewhere he |
heard shrill jabbering arise, with an
ensuing patter of bare feet Swiftly |
be got upon his knees and drew in the |
headwarp, with his free hand search /
ing along the rail for a cleat. Some
hing thumped heavily on the deck be-
side him, and grunted; and something
else followed with a second bump;
and the launch swung outward and,
caught by the current, jerked the
neadwarp from his grasp. May the
uck of the O'Rourke still hold" he
prayed fervently, getting upon his feet
% realize that, with Couch and the
man Wheeler he was imprisoned
aboard the junk, doomed there to re-
