TRICK OF PARIS SMUGGLERS

An ingenious smuggling trick was
that originated by a band of clever
Partisan rogues, recently. A coffin, sup
posed to contain the body Of man
who had died Of diphtheria, was dis
patched from the gay city for burial
in London. It was met at the railway
terminus and conveyed at nightfall to
a house not far from the Mile End
road, Whitechapel. Everything would
have passed off as desired and planned
had not a policeman on duty become
suspicious on seeing a particularly
large coffin being taken out OF a
hearse into a house that was known
to be the habitation OF men who had
done penal seryitude.
After the funeral party had shut
their door and the hearse had driven
away, the policeman secured assist
ance and knocked at the door. 1t was
found that the coffin. instead Of con
tanning a corpse, was filled tightly
with cakes of tobacco, dozens of boxes
of cigars, and other dutiable goods.
The "mourners" were Immediately ar
rested and the goods confscated.

question men have racked their brains
to solve is how to collect this en-
ergy.
In California this problem has been
solved by the sun motor. The motor
itself resembles an enormous lamp

framework. The inside of the motor

ranged that the heat from all the mir.
rors is focused on one point, where
there is a boiler containing 100 gallons
of water The fierce heat thus pro-
ducer would smelt copper in a very
few seconds, and it converts the water
in the boiler into steam, the process
continuing as long as the sun shines.
Since sun motors are best worked
in the tropics, where water is scarce.
the power is used for pumping water
obtained from underground over the
vast deserts found around the equa-
tor. Thus Old Sol has been harnessed
to draw water for the land which he
has parched by his fierce rays.

ENORMOUS ENGLISH PIES

A meat pie weighing 200 pounds was
recently baked for a banquet given at
Gorieston, England. That the English
are fond of pie is plainly shown by the
famous pies for which DENLY Dals,
near Halifax, has long been noted
These are baked only upon very spe-
cial occasions, the very biggest Of
them all being prepared in 1887, in
honor of Queen Victoria's jubilee. 1t
weighed when cooked, no less than
1900 pounds. and the ingredients com
prised $50 pounds of beef, 100 pounds
each of mutton and veal, 14O pounds
lamb, 250 pounds lean pork, and
enough fowls, geese, pigeons, rabbits,
hares, etc, to stock poulterers shop.
To make the crust 60 sacks OF -four
were used, mixed with 100 pounds OF
lard and 90 pounds of butter.
Another similar monster was pre-,
pared in 1S46 to celebrate the repeal
of the corn lawn Yet another was
baked in 1888, in commemoration OF
King George Ills recovery from i'll
ness; while fourth was prepared and
eaten in 1915, in honor of Wellington's
victory over Napoleon on the field of
Waterloo.

MIGHT PUZZLE THE SAINT
Good Old Bishop Seen Wondering at
the Observances Accompanying
His Natal Day.

In the general exchange Of greet,
ings, that vary from the penny card
to the expensive floral offerings to
friends, sweethearts and wives, it
may be interesting to look to the why
and wherefore OF this days celebra

In the first place, there doesn't seem
to be any reason why little Eros, the
god of love, has been SO hopelessly
tangled up with the austere bishop

he was far from the thoughts of the
human emotions. His tranquil stead

brought down the wrath of the Claud

unfortunate captive and tried to com

return of her eyesight, due to ST. Val
entine, legend tells US. Because OF
this he was dragged through the
streets and finally beheaded.
Perhaps the pity OF the blind girl
was akin to love, and there may be
this faint claim to the invasion OF
this factor.
At any rate, ladies have sighed and
lovers have burst forth into avow'
ais of their affections, on paper.

valentines were considered a luxury,

Fast travelling 100 Years Ago.

One hundred years ago the citizens
Of Philadelphia, New York, Boston and
intervening points were acclaiming
the progress Of the times, with particu
lar reference to the speed with which
President Madisons message to con
gress had been carried to the various
states. The message was delivered on
December Z, and by December 15 Its
contents were known to persons living
as far distant as Vermont. Under the
caption of Swift Travelling" a news
paper Of the time commented as fol-
lows: "The express who brought the
presidents message to this city left
Washington 20 minutes after the noon
hour-left Baltimore As minutes after
2 p. m.-arrived Philadelphia ten min
utes before midnight. Thus, it will be
seen, that from Washington to Phila
delphia, distance of $50 miles, he
travelled at the rate of more than
1872 miles an hour, which, considering
the badness Of the roads, is, perhaps,
equal to anything ever performed in
this country"
