before artificial Ice was very well
known, shopkeeper, who tried to
keep up with the times, thought he

street, and purchased thousand
pounds of fine cool ice, paying about
twelve dollars for 1t. He did a won
derful business the next day All the
town trade came to get cool drink,
while the shop opposite was empty.
When the shopkeeper shut up that
night he had made good profits and
had about 800 pounds Of Ice left.

boy. who opened up the shop, greeted
him with a happy grin. Morning,

Owed RECOGNITION to Emperor.

Bell had little success at the Phila-
delphia exhibition, and his invention
would have passed unnoticed, even,
had 1t not been for Dom Pedro, the
emperor of Brazil. For the story we
are indebted to the Revue Scientifique.
Dom Pedro was inspecting the exhihi-
ton, attended by his suite, when ne
came across Graham Bell, whom he
remembered as a teacher in school
of deaf mutes. Dom Pedro came to
his stand and asked him to "set his
machine going"
A wire crossed the room from wall
to wall Dom Pedro stood at the re-
ceiver and Bell at the transmitter. No
one understood exactly what was hap
pening, when suddenly the emperor
lifted his head dramatically and
shouted, in absolute amazement:
Hes talking" The scientists in Dom
Pedros suite rushed to verify this ex.
traordinary announcement. and "the
more they knew of electricity, the less
they would believe their ears" The
next day the newspapers were filed
with the news. and the telephone be-
came famous Immediately.

4 FrenCH Patrol Boat

gather In a concentrated shoal close
to the surface; the fishing boat hedges
them round with net, and then
stones are remorselessly thrown at
the porpoises. The net is one which,
by the shortening of the foot-rope. en-
velops the whole shoal in mass. II
may happen that at this moment
boat of the opposite country comes on
the scene. Then the stones brought
out to brighten porpoises become mis-
siles of combat, unless, as sometimes
occurs, compromise can be arrived
at by dividing the catch.
During the summer months the
tunny-ishing takes the boats further
out to sea and beyond the territorial
limits At this time Of the year the
best of good-fellowship prevails be-
tween the French and Spanish fisher
men, who sometimes gather round the
same stewpot on board each others
boats. Nothing but Basque is spoken
amongst them, one reason being that
amongst the Spanish Basques there
are very few who can speak Spanish.
Amongst the French Basques, how
ever, 1t is much more unusual to find
any who do not know French.
Besides the surveillance of the coast
fishery, the control Of the waters OF
the Bidassoa river itself is another
important function of the two torpedo
craft. The water of the river being
held to be international, 1t is agreed
that 1t may be fished only by the In
habitants of the towns upon the river
banks. But for the netting Of salmon
upon the banks Of the estuary, the
French and Spanish can fish only on
alternate days, using both banks OF
the river indifferently. At the be
ginning of every year meeting Of the
French and Spanish mayors takes
place, at which they draw lots to de
eide who shall begin the fishing fol
the following year. And the gun which
is fired every day at neon alternately
by the French and Spanish torpedo
craft is the actual signal to notify
when one party may commence to fish
and when the other must discontinue
AS may be supposed. the maintenance
of harmony and the settlement of dis
putes calls for both amicable and dip
lomatic relations between the nava
officers who represent the two nation
alities.

NAPKIN RINGS MOST ORNATE
Elaborate and Dainty Dining Table
Accompaniment Made Both In
silver and Gold.

Oblong napkin rings with squared
of ends are among the novelties IN
table furnishings. They are developed
in silver and gold. decorated with an
engraved pattern or repousse pound
ed into an oriental design and In
carved ivory or painted celluloid'
These oblong rings are found cheek
by jowl with the holders Of circular
type which, instead Of being rather
ponderous affairs, are now decidedly
narrow and rather sparsely decorated.
They also lack the rolling double rims
which erstwhile distinguished such
rings.
Not especially substantial, yet won
derfully attractive, are the napkin
rings Of filigree silver. OF the most
delicate design and irregularly edged,
they look-when drawn over roll OF
damask-like a tracery In frost. ii
carefully handled they do not bend
out of shape or break, but 1t is neces
sary to use extreme deliberation IN
cleaning.

very little, to proceed to the nearest
express office and send the prayer
mill package to Miss zelda Tresham,
Maybrook. Then he went to his
rather cherries room where he was
making a struggle Of life trying to
write for the newspapers.
Maybrook was the little country
town from which Earle had come six
months previous. zelda Tresham
was the one young lady in that vii
lage for whom he entertained a
warmer sentiment than she had ever
OWNED. Tolman, making a visit to
the city, had come across Earle Only
casually had Earle ventured to ask
about zelda. He had heard inciden-
tally that Tolman had been paying
some attentions to the young lady,
and did not seek a gratuitous heart
ache by exploring the intimacy.
Earle knew that the erudite Profess
sor Tresham, the father of zelda,
was a great collector of unique odd
tiles. He had sent the prayer mill to
zelda hoping she might write to him.
At least it would show that he had
not forgotten her.
The next day Earle was sorry that
he had sent the little gift. He hap
pened to meet Tolman. The latter
dropped into a jewelry store and pro
duced an exquisite little ring.
