After career Of less than two
years, the Audacious, third in ton
mage and armament Of his maiesty's
warships, lies at the bottom off the
north coast of ireland. She was hit
by a torpedo or a mine October u.
With the possibility Of loss of one or
two men, the whole crew Of 800 Off
lcers and men were rescued by small
boats from the Olympic
The battlesbip's cry for assistance
was caught by the wireless operator
of the Olympic which was only about
ten miles distant. The steamer rush
ed forward at full speed. Volunteers
were called for and double the num-
Der necessary to man the Iifeboats
responded The crippled batt1eship
was reached in few minutes after
8 o'clock and before noon all but 100
Of her men had been transferred.
By that time the battleship had a
decided list at the stern, where Just
below the water line she had receiv-
ed her wound. Two Of her engines
were unharmed, but the one aft was
put out of commission.
After taking off all ths afficers and
crew who would leave the ship. Cap

pomitian swatted Flies.

The original swat the fly" man was
Domitian, Roman emperor from 81 to
90 A. d. History records little good Of
Domitian. but it does say that he an
ticipated the anti-dy movement by more
than l.S00 years. Maltreating the
buzzing pests was his favorite amuse-
ment, it is recorded. but he was not
animated by n desire to save babies
lives or avert epidemics.
One biographer says of the old Roman
that cone of his favorite pastimes was
hunting and killing flies," and Sueto-
MUS. the famous historian. wrote thus
of DOmitian: "In the beginning OF his
reign he used to spend daily an hour
by himself in private. during which
time he did nothing else but catch flies
and stick them through the body with
a sharp pin."-New York Tribune.

A Busy Man.

A customer of a large. downtown
tailoring establishment was getting
service out of suit of, clothes he had
not paid for. Statement after state
ment was sent to the customer and
finally letter informing the man that
unless he paid his bill the matter
would be put in the hands of the COM
pany's attorney. That awakened the
customer. He hastened to the store
and demanded to see the head Of
the company. He asserted the only
reason for not paying the bill was that
he had been so busy with other af-
fairs that ne had overlooked his debt
to the tailoring company.
why, see here" he emphatically
told the president of the company,
"just to show you how busy l have
been brought this telegram along. l
got that telegram day before yester-
day, but l haven't had time to open it

The most foolish man is another

Accordingly the dutiful son offered him
E1OO.
"But can't take your E1OO" said
the cadi. II never knew your father.
There was no reason why he should
leave me the money"
ITS yours all right" persisted the
mourning youth.

action" said the cadi relenting. Sup
pose-Ill tell you what I'll do. I'll sell
you all that snow in the courtyard for
e1OO.
The young man agreed. willing to be
quit of his trust on any terms. Next
day he was arrested, taken before the
cadi and ordered to remove his snow
at once. AS this was command the
young man was utterly unable 20 ex-

GLOVE APPLES.

Spicy Odored Ornaments That Were
Once Quite Common.
The manufacture of Glove apples.
common in the days of our grandmoth-
ers. is very simple. You can take an
apple, the rounder and sounder and
cloves as thickly as possible, with only
the heads showing and forming a close
continuous surface all over. Put it in
a drawer or on mantelpiece or
whatnot, and time will do the rest.
The Glove apple becomes dry and Gu
riously hard. maintains its form per-
fectly and acquires an approximation
of immortality-if carefully protected.
of course. from accidents and children.
The latter. IL memory serves. were
wont to annoy the grandmothers Of
Glove apple days by decapitating the
cloves or, il especially mischievous. by
working at one Of them till it came out
whole. Either achievement. when dis
covered. as it alwaps was soon, caused
indignant oratory always and wrong
stories" not infrequently.
The exact purpose of the Glove ap-
pie, whether it was valued as curio
or as the source of a pleasant, spicy
odor. the present commentator does
not remember, if he ever knew. In
value, however, it ranked well up with
the shells brought from foreign strands
by seafaring husbands and sons. and
both were about equally durable.-New

Fate of Marshal Ney.

1t has been maintained by many that
the famous Marshal Ney. whom Ma
poleOn called the ,''bravest Of the
brave" was not executed. as history
makes him out TO have been. but suc-
ceeded. by the help of friends. in max
ing his escape to America. where he
lived to an advanced age. dying in
peace in his own bed. The theory as
advocated by many is that Ney went to
North Carolina. became school teach
er and made many friends, to the more
intimate Of whom he confided his Sc
cret. But there is not much to the
story except its novelty.-New York

Turkish Smokinq Pipes.

The "hookah'' is large tobacco pipe
much used in Turkey. Persia and other
eastern countries. 1t consists of two
bowls, one placed over the other. The
upper bowl contains the tobacco and Is
connected by a tube with the lower,
which is partially filed with water.
The connecting tube passes down into
the water. The stem. which Is usually
a long flexible tube is connected with
the air space above the water. and thus
the smoke must pass through the wa
ter before reaching the smoker. In
passing through it is cooled and de-
prived Of most Of its harmful oOnstit-

which was the admiration of scientists.
He sent messages over wires and de-

telegraph. Then in 1852 he invented
"a system of wireless telegraphy and
submitted 1t to public test, regarding
which a Dundee paper Of April IL,
1853, said: 'The experiment removes
all doubt of the practicability Of Mr..
Lindsay's invention. and there is every
reason to think that it will soon con-
meet continent with continent. and is

fifty languages and labored on it for
quarter of century. 1t was too huge

Insulated Wires.

To keep electricity in the wires. to
prevent it from escaping. which 1t is
always trying to do. the wires have to
be bandaged up in some substance
through which the electricity cannot
penetrate. This is called Insulation.
A wire is said to be insulated when it
is wrapped in nonconducting covers.
Dry hair is the best material; next
rank glass, mica. porcelain. rubber.
lava. oils, silk. cotton, etc. The wires
used about ordinary buildings are in
sulated with rubber, oils. varnish and
dry cloth. Some Of the smaller wires.
for electric bells, etc, are merely Gov
cred with closely woven silk or cotton
threads The best known conductor OF
electricity is silver. but 1t is too costly
to be used commercially. Copper ranks
next and is generally used for electric
wiring.-New York World.

BRASS ROD MONEY.
Currency That Used to Be Very Popu-
lar With African Natives.


The annual bullion letter" of Messrs.
Samuel Montagu & Co. of London sug-
gests that the phrase expressive of
wealth. plenty Of brass" was intro
duced into England by sailors trading
with towns at the mouths of the great
African rivers. though the brass rods
used by the natives are now passing
into the limbo Of things obsolete.
A brass rod at Momsemb was fifteen
inches long and not quite so thick as a
slate pencil. Everything had its price
in brass rods-one egg equaled one
brass rod; fowl, ten brass rods: two
yards of cloth, twenty brass rods;
male slave, 600 brass rods, and fe-
male slave. $500 brass rods.
The brass for these rods was origi-
nally melted down for their brass orna-
ments-anklets. necklaces, armlets. leg
rings, hafts of spears, paddles and
handles of knives, etc. 1t was using
the brass for this purpose that first
gave it any real value to them. In
1890 the brass rods still retained their
value.
1t is quite possible that the rods
changed hands in fathom lengths. and
those who came into possession Of
these lengths each cut off little piece
to procure little bit of brass for toth-
ing, and hence the length was gradual
ly shortened until in 1890 it wass ssfifteen
inches. The process of shortening con-
tinued. and in 1905 the standard length
was only eleven inches.

Russia is not barbaric. 1t is simple
and childlike. whence its enormous
charm. And it is a dancing nation; the
dances are national. unique and quite
unoriental. Peasants may be seen IN
their log built villages dancing away
until they almost drop from fatigue.
The Russian dance is full Of vitality,
spontaneous and strenuous; the east
ern dance is restrained. suggestive and
sometimes sinuous.

a tendency to depression. but it would

A Chinese Suggestion That One Per.
son Should Do II All. 2'
As a rule, dinner conversation is
seldom worth remembering, which Is a
pity. Man. the most sensible Of all
animals. more readily leans to non
sense than to rational discourse. Per
haps the flow of words may be as
Yangtzekiang in my own country, but
the memory remains only recollec-
ton of a vague. undetined-what? The
conversation, like the flavors provided
by the cooks. has been evanescent.
Why should not hostesses make as
much effort to stimulate the minds of
their guests as they do to crafty their
palates? What a boon it would be to
many a bashful man sitting next to u
woman with whom he has nothing in
common if some public entertainer
during the dinner relieved him from
the necessity of always thinking as to
what he should say next! How much
more he could enjoy the fine dinners
his hostess has provided-and as for
the woman. what number of sup
pressed yawns she might avoid!
TO take great pains and spend large
sums to provide tasty food for people
who cannot enjoy it because they have
to talk to one another seems a pity.
Let one man talk to the crowd and
leave them leisure to eat is my sugges-
tion.-Wu Ting Fang. Late Chinese
Minister to United States, in Harper's
Monthly.

|, 1h.rs a ~Rorn Criminal? ~

Is 1t to be wondered that most au-
thoritles are inclining more and more
to find in faulty environment rather
than in a bad heredity the explanation
of the boy who goes wrong? Not that it
is as yet possible and perhaps it never
will be possible to rule out entirely the
idea of the born criminal" A small
proportion of delinquents unquestiona-
bly, do show almost from infancy an
irresistible and seemingly instructive
impulse to evil. but to just what ex-
tent this is actually due to inherited
and irremediable conditions remains to
be ascertained. Medical progress, in
fact. is constantly making it clearer
that many supposed instances of I'm
nate depravity" are in reality the re-
suit of durable physical defects and
sometimes of defects that are compar-
atively slight.-H. Addington Bruce in
