Lending a coupIe of Miles.

'"Three to Albany" said club car
passenger as he handed over a mileage
book to the conductor and pointed to
his two companions. The conductor
ran his eye down the long strip and
then turned about with the query:
'Who will give this man two miles,"
Half a dozen books were presented
Immediately, and the conductor tore
off two miles from one of them while
the man who had been short expressed
his thanks.
Eyes, it's kind of treating frequent

THE PRISONERS CIPHER.
A Puzzling Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.

Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, so much so, in fact, that it
has been frequently remarked that if
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better than as criminals.
One branch Of ingenuity is displayed
In the plans they make to communi
cate with one another They construct
cipher codes, but the officials generally
manage to translate them.
Recently in western Jail the guards
encountered a cipher that proved too
hard for them, and it was n good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out, and then the key was acci-
dentally discovered A man in for
forgery, as smart Il rogue as ever was
behind the bars, invented the puzzle
The writing was on long. narrow
strips of paper, on the edge of which
were letters and parts of letters that
apparently had no connection and from
which no words could be formed.
One day a deputy who was passing
the cell Of prisoner saw him passing
a long strip or paper around au octagon
lead pencil He took this paper away
and on it were the mysterious scrawls
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this,
and, going back to the office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials ad-
justed it so that the parts of letters
fitted together and made a sentence,
though the writing was very fine
The writer had adopted the simple
ingenious plan of covering the lead
pencil with the paper and had then
written along one Of the fat sides. On
unrolling it the writing was as mys-
teal as a cryptogram, but when put
around the pencil, as it was originally,
1t could be easily understood.-D Dallas
News.

The Oath Gesture.

The act of uplifting the hand during
the taking of an oath is so ancient that
1t would be futile to even attempt to
say when it started. Homer mentions
1t as common among the Greeks of his
time, and 1t is also found In the earliest
Biblical time. For instance, Abraham,
the father of the Jewish people, says
II have lifted up my hand to jehovah"
showing that even at that remote pc
riod the practice was existent. 1t was
from the Jews, of course, that the prac-
tice found its way into Christendom,
where it has ever since held its place
in judicial trials.--New York American.

WHIRL OF THE TORNADO.
Beside It the Rush of the Cyclone 10
Comparatively Harmless.

An uphill fight for accurate English
is being waged year after year by sci
entific authorities on the weather who
object to having the tornadoes which
rip through towns now and then or
carry away isolated farmhouses, call
ed cyclones" The distinction made
by the experts in meteorology Is plain,
but the public is welded to the ICY
clone"
The word has gained wide accept
ance in describing the furious local
storms which rush forward along a
more or less direct path while they
whirl with far greater velocity on
center which may be only few feet in
diameter. II boys top is spun on
one end OF board and the board is
tilted so that the top slides quickly
along it, all the while revolving at
high speed on It's point the onward
sweep of the tornado is closely imi-
tated
It is the spinning motion which is
swiftest and most destructive. The ad-
vance of the storm may not be as rapid
as that OF many comparatively harm
less gale. The twisting motion is esti-
mated at not less than 200 miles an
hour in the worst tornadoes.
The true cyclone Of the West Indies,
the China sea and other parts of the
tropics Is entirely different It's force
is spent in a furious wind that seems
to blow almost straight ahead, while
the storm revolves, more or less fully,
around a circle the circumference Of
which may be many hundred miles A
tornado wreaks its fury on a strip of
land usually only a mile or less in
width. The cyclone sweeps scores or
hundreds of miles of sea or shore
But cyclone is intrenched in popu-
lar usage as the name Of the typical
"twister" of this country, and "torna-
do" has poor chance.-Cleveland

DESOLATE MONGOLIA.
A Bleak Country, the Very Spirit of
Which Is RestIessness.

Which Is ReStiessness.
Beyond the forests of Siberia lies the
barren center of the Asiatic continent
that inhospitable, desolate land of
nakedness, the haunt OF roaming nom
ads, region of bitter winds and hos
tile climate. In the very heart of the
greatest continent. in that part of the
earth's surface which is farthest re-
moved from the sea. lies the lone, bleak
land of Mongolia.
In all its immense area there are but
few towns where men live settled lives.
and 1t possesses but a scanty popula-
ton, while because by its very position
1t is cut off from the softening influence
of the sea it presents a dreary aspect
of windy wastes, endless steppes and
barren mountains.
Wild and wide is Mongolia, stretch
ing as 1t does for 1000 miles in the
savage splendor of limitless expanse.
Man cannot rest in such a country nor
live sedentary life. 1t has been the
birthplace of the greatest migrations
the world has ever seen. Restless
movement, in fact, is the very spirit
OF Mongolia.
What history this land could tell If
only its deserts could speak and its
mountains bear witness! Here rode
Genghis, the Mongol Alexander. the
most ruthless and inhuman destroyer
the world has experienced. On these
wide plateaus wandered those Mongol
herdsmen who fed their hocks and
moved their camps with complete con
tent and splendid isolation until at last
the wanderlust came over them and
they burst out from their fastness to
overrun the world. Wide World Mag

ATLANTIC LINERS WIRELESS.
The First Messages Are Sent Just Five
Minutes After Sailing.

minutes ATLGT
The first regular wireless message Ia
sent out as the steamer slowly backs
from her pier. 1t is timed just FIVE
minutes after sailing. The sharp crack
of the sending apparatus is usually
drowned by the roar of the whistle
calling for clear passage in mid
stream. All transatlantic steamers
send to the wireless station at Sea
Gate, while the coastwise steamers
call up the station on top Of one Of the
skyscrapers on lower Broadway.
This is merely formal message, but
no wireless log would be complete
without it, writes Francis Arnold Col
Inns In ST. Nicholas. This first mes
sage is known as the "T. r." No one
seems to know just why. The wireless
station replies as briefly as possible,
and the wireless operator shuts off.
Business soon picks up. Before the
passengers are through waving fare
wells some one has usually remember
ed a forgotten errand ashore or decid-
ed to send a wireless (aerogram is the
word), and visitors begin to look up
the wireless station. 1t Is usually a
detached house on the uppermost or
sun deck, just large enough for the
mysterious looking apparatus and a
bunk or two. Before the voyage is
over most of the passengers will have
become familiar with the station, for
1t is after all about the most interest
Ing place aboard.
If no messages are filed for sending
the operator picks up the shore sta
| ton and clicks off the name Of his
ship-as. for instance, "Atlantas-nii
here" meaning nothing here"
| Should the operator have any mes
sages to file he will add the number
| for example "Atlantas g." The re-
ceiving station picks this up and re-
plies quickly. If 1t has no message to
| send 1t will reply: 20. X. Nil here"
Should there be any messages to de-
liver it will reply. 20 K. G." (Go
ahead.)
All the way down the harbor the
great ship is III constant communica-
ton, sending and receiving belated
questions and answers. The passen-
gers, who have been calling their fare
wells from the ships side as the wa
! ters widen, are merely continuing their
conversations with the shores now
rapidly slipping past. Your message
meanwhile will be delivered almost
anywhere In the United States within
an hour and In nearby cities in much
less time.
