Somebody wondered how long a certain woman who had just left the room had been married.
 About fifteen years," said the jeweler.

WEIRD STORY OF THE SEA.
A Winged Messenger, It's FatefuI Mis-
 sion and Its Reward.

A Winged Messenger, It's FatetuI Mis-
 sion and It's Reward.
 The following story was publish ed by sea captain in Aftonbla- det of Stockholm recently. There are many people still living i'll Arendal who remember the occur renee which is here described
 One dark night several years ago sailing vessel from Arendal, Nor way, was crossing the north Allan tic on its way from America to England. There was strong east wind, against which the ship was tacking. As it drew toward eight bells in the evening the captain was walking back and forth on the bridge, trying to make up his mind whether to put about or to con- tinue on the same course for an- other watch or two.
 As he walked he suddenly receiv- ed a blow on his chest, which, he discovered, had been dealt by sea bird. Then his winged assailant quickly disappeared to leeward.
 A few moments later the captain was just giving the command to turn the vessel when he again re- ceived blow in the chest from the same messenger. Then the bird dis appeared as before in southwest erly direction. After this had been repeated several more times. the bird, after each blow flying off to- ward the southwest, the captain, who thought there must be some thing supernatural in the matter, decided to follow the bird. Instead of turning back he caused the boats course to be set toward the south west This was no sooner done than the bird settled down on the ships railing beside the captain.
 The boat now sailed at d great pace before the strong wind. But although sharp watch was kept aft as well as forward. half the night passed and nothing unusual was discovered.
 The crew began to joke about the ''old man {" maneuver, and the captain himself doubted the wis dom of continuing to sail out of his course. losing distance which a great deal of tacking would be re- quired to regain
 At , o'cfoG% in the morning he was on the point of giving the or der to turn again. when the look out on the forevard sung out that he saw glow as of fire ahead.
 All the waning interest woke again.
 Soon the vessel found itself ap- preaching burning ship, and it lay to as close as was practicable.
 A boat was lowered and found many men floating about on hem coops, pieces of wreckage and oth- CT floating articles from the burn ing ship. They were weak and ex- hausted. having chosen a slow death in the ocean to being burned alive or suffocated by the fire.
 When the sufferers had been car ed for to the best of the rescuing vessels ability, and the vessels bow had been turned again toward Eng land. the sailors found that the bird was still on board. Nor did it leave the boat again. But one day, after the vessel had reached the English channel, one of those who had been saved from the burn ing ship kicked the bird to death in revenge for bite from its bill.

FOOD LAW HITS
MEAT PRODUCTS
Inspectors May Seize and De-
stroy Bad Shipments.
M'REYNOLDs ADVISES ACTION
New Department Ruling Follows When
Secretary Houston Receives Opin-
ion From Attorney General
Two Bureaus to Cooperate.

Washington, June 13.-Probably the
most radical and far-reaching extern
sion of the pure food and drugs act
since its enactment was made when
Secretaries Houston, McAdoo and Red
field, charged with enforcing this
statute, ruled that meat and meat prod
ucts in Interstate or foreign commerce,
which hitherto have been exempted,
from the provisions of the pure food
law, may be seized if misbranded or
adulterated. Beginning at once, manu-
fac4urers Of meat foods will be re-
quired to comply strictly with the pure
food act, as well as with the meat in
spection law.
Houston Starts Action.
This action was taken on the
strength Of an opinion by Attorney
General McReynolds. The three secre-
taries revoked regulation adopted in
October, 1906, only four months after
the passage Of the pure food law,
which had prevented the department
Of agriculture, according to a state
ment by Secretary Houston. from
prosecuting manufacturers of meat
foods under the pure food law, or or
dering seizures or prosecutions for
misbranding or adulteration of domes-
tic meats"
Secretary Houston said he could not
understand why meat and meat prod
ucts were not food in the sense of the
food and drugs act, or why his depart
ment could not seize bad, adulterated
or misbranded meat once it had en-
tered interstate commerce. Therefore
he had sought the advice of the attor-
ney general.
Meat Law Scope Limited.
Under the meat inspection law"
the secretary said, meat inspectors
have absolutely no power to seize meat
or meat food products that have be-
come bad or have been adulterated
after they have left government in
spected establishment The only rem
edy possible under the meat act is to
proceed criminally against anyone SELL
ing bad meat, but even in this event
bad meat cannot be seized nor it's sale
prevented.
ssUnder the new decision the govern
ment can control meat foods from the
hoofs to the retailer, subject only to the
Limitations of the power of the federal
government in interstate commerce.
Nhe department is empowered to re-
quire all manufactured meat products
to conform fully to it's labelling regula-
ton, and can enforce it's penalties,
prosecutions and seizures for mis-
branding and adulteration."
Secretary Houston has appointed
committee to provide plan for CO.
operation between the bureaus OF
chemistry and animal industry in exer-
cising full control over meat and meat
products.

GUN FOR PITCHING BASEBALL
Not Intended for Use In Game, But to
Give 7atters Opportunity for

A baseball pitching gun invented
some years ago by Prof. c. H. Hinton
OF Princeton university is described.
with illustrations, in the Popular Me-
chanics magazine. This gun. resem-

into its breach from an ordinary re-
peating rife, was not designed to take
the place of pitcher In a game, but
to give batters an opportunity for I'M

This gun was successful in that It
would actually throw curves and
throw them accurately, but there was
one defect that could not be over.
come, due to the human equation"
The gun never failed to inspire fear
In the batter. That the batter would
know just when the ball was coming,
an electric wire was run to the bat
ters' box. and by stepping on the plate
the circuit was closed and the blank
cartridge in the rife fred. The aver
age batter would step on this plate
and then jump back about four feet,
letting the ball go by. Another draw
back was the fact that the hot gases
soon acted on the covers Of the balls
and made them as hard as bricks.
An almost unlimited range Of speed
was obtained by making the tube con-

on his big league career Clark Grit.
nth released George Mullin to Mon
treal.
Mullin has for years been one of the
greatest stars of the younger league.
He broke into the limelight in 1901,
when he was found to be signed
with both Detroit and Brooklyn. Ulti-
mately. the young twirler decided to
cast his fortune with the Tigers, and
Il was In the ranks Of the Detroit
club that he fought his way to fame

Mullin faltered with Detroit through

Mullin would not hold either this year.

Mullins 1913 history is a replica of
that Of Big Barney Petty, whom Griff
took by waiver from the Browns last
season.
In Big Ed Walsh the American
league may lose one more Of its great
stars. Is Walsh weakening? So his
teammates and the scribes who have
watched him say. Teams that have
batted against the old Sox wonder say
that his famous splitter does not break
as fast as of yore. And Walsh may
be done. Years of the terrific strain
OF his fast ball and spitball delivery
have worn down a once invincible
wing.
Walsh has been OF little assistance
to the Sox this year. Considering how
grandly the veteran White and young
Russell from this league are going,
Callahan might be pushing Mack hard
were Walsh the old Ed. But he
rounded to slowly during the spring
training. and in his few games was
batted hard His arm then was found
to be impaired and he was given a
long layoff. Callahan declared the 9TH
er day that Walsh was coming back
better than ever, but the skeptical
shake their heads.
And yet Walsh, like Mullln, had a
wonderful year in 1912. And his work
In the fall city series on which alone
Comiskey grabbed the Chicago cham
pionship can never be forgotten.
The cases of LaJoie and Wagner are
still too fresh in mind to merit repeti-
ton. Neither may be done Each of
these Vikings of the stick is still high
in his leagues batting and in enough
games to warrant the certainty that
their stickwork is unimpaired. AS far
as Lajoie is concerned. It is claimed
that the great Frenchman has been SO
badly affected by injuries that he has
been slowed down 30 phenomenally
that he will never again be a great
fielder. For several seasons Lajoia
has failed to cover the ground he for
merly traversed. And to those who
recall how the great CIevelander took
the hard chances. this merely means
that he had gone back to ordinary
fielding. It is doubtful If there has
ever been a superior to the brig Blue
on his bag in his prime. Lajoie is still
with Cleveland and his fellow players
are credited with the belief that the
recent trouble with Birmingham has
been patched up.
Wagner himself will not admit that
he is done for. but the Teuton's leg
