A party of young Australians
wanting fish dinner filed bottle
with dynamite, attached a water
proof fuse and flung it into poo
in a creek. One of them had q re.
triever who had been taught to re-
trieve anything flung into the wa.
ter, and the bottle had hardly
touched the surface before Watch
was after it. They yelled at him
to leave it alone, but he paid no at
tention and soon was swimming
shoreward with the fixing bomb in
his mouth. The young men ran
for their lives, and the poor beast,
thinking it all a great joke, came
galloping after. He was within
twenty yards of the hindmost when
there was a stunning crash. Two
Of the men were thrown down,
though, fortunately, not badly hurt,
But Of the unfortunate dog hardly

1t is hight time that our public
schools, academies and universities
turned their attention to the in
struction Of pupils in practical
things. Competition in business life
is too strenuous nowadays to permit
the young man to 60 forth unpre-
pared for the battle. Of course, it
is gratifying to know the classics, 20
be able to read and write in Sanskrit,
and to conjugate in Scandinavian,
but these accomplishments will not
facilitate the balancing Of the books
at the end Of the month nor inspire
any greater veneration on the part
Of the 'boss." The youth who comes

A Curious Memorial.

Projecting from the wall Of .
house overhanging the Lake of
Thun, in Switzerland, may be seen
the bow of a small rowing boat
with the name Petronella painted
upon it. The wife of the owner Of
the house was drowned from this
boat while rowing on the lake. Her
husband determined, as a memorial
to his wife, to build the boat into
his house. The room destined to
contain it, however, proved too
short for the whole length of the
boat, and the bow projects from the
wall, just beneath the balcony. The
house is close by one of the steam
boat piers, and the unaccountable
appearance Of this strange me,lori-
al excites much curiosity among
the passengers on the Steamers

A Bit of Blue Sky.

Professor John Tyndall, who
with many great gifts, possessed
q singular skill in deyising and con-
Quoting beautiful experimental il
lustrations, actually produced in
1869 a bit of blue sky in the lecture
room In glass tube three feet
in length and three inches in diam
eter he exhausted the air until it
was less than one-tenth the density
Of the atmosphere we breathe and
represented the rarer air high over
head. Into this exhausted air he
introduced nitrate of butyle vapor,
which is extremely volatile. Then
strong beam of light in q room
otherwise dark was passed through
the mixture, and in the glass tube
there glowed beautiful blue cloud,
rivaling in color the finest Italian
sky. Here was blue sky brought
down to earth.

The Sea Serpent Myth.

1t is possible, even probable, that
the sea serpent myth started in all
good faith. In the southern seas
grow the gigantic algae, the largest
of which measure from 400 to 600
feet in length. These when rolled
on the beach form enormous cables
several hundred feet long and as
thick as a good sized tree trunk.
Such cables washed out to sea by
storms may very easily have given
rise to the farfamed but yet un-
discovered sea serpent.-New York

TEACHING BUSINESS
Yale University recently was 6

Yale University recently was en-
dowed with gift Of 100000 to be
used with special references to
preparation for business and bust
ness administration. The donor is
a graduate Of the Sheffield Scientific
School, and makes his donation con-
ditional upon the raising OF a SINH
liar sum by the trustees Of Yale
University for the same purpose.
The moneys donated, it is explained,
are to be used for the development
of a graduate course Of one year,
and if possible, two years, as an
addition to the present undergrad
uate course.
It has long been recognized as one
of the weak points of a college

to the position of manager OF 'ne
grocery, he stopped, drew long
breath and thought Of what he haa
learned at college. Then he offset
this with what had had learned since
he became acquainted with flour,
bacon, and molasses, and smiled

bright youngsters, filed with thirst
for knowledge and eager to conquer

Bonfire Originally "5ons- Fire.

1t is doubtful, however, whether
any bonfres contain even a proper
ton of the matter whereof bon
fires were primarily constituted, to

was "bone-fre," signifying "a fire

spelling the word was common
down to near the end of the eight
eenth century. The real, old fash
toned meaning of the ''bone-fre"

easoLINE's EARLY USE.
Rsvei First Applied II 40 q motivs
pcvvsr In 1854

The first attempt to apply gaso-
line as motive power was made
by Frenchman, Pierre Joseph Ra-
vel, who patented in the year 1868
"a steam generator heated by min
eral oils, to be applied to steam
locomotion on ordinary roads," Ra-
vel's engine was fitted to a small
carriage and developed three horse
power.
The Franco-German war put an
end to Ravel's experiments for a
time, but years later he built mo-
torcar in which petroleum was used
for the direct generation of motive
power. In 1876 Lentz invented a
burner by which mixture of gaso-
line and other naphthas, called mas
sout, was used as fuel on steamships.
About the same time gasoline was
used as an lluminant in street
lamps, and later a new use was
found for it in the manufacture of
varnish and oilcloth.
Gasoline, amounting to 8 per cent
of the distilled product of the crude
petroleum, continued to be a drug
on the market until the invention

Gaxslls Hunting.

Gazelles in Nubia are hunted by a
powerful breed Of hounds in build
somewhat heavier than a grey
hound. In spite of being far swift
err than the hound the gazelle falls
a victim from the nervous habit of
constantly stopping to look back
to see if it is pursued. II also ex-
ponds its strength by taking great
bounds in almost vertical direction,
thereby not only losing time, but
exhausting itself, so that II is over
taken without difficulty.

PERIL IN MIDAIR.
A Triple somsrssuIt and Prsssnes Of
Mind In q Tornado.


A certain famous troupe Of aeri-
alists includes the only men who
can do the triple somersault from
a flying bar to what is known in
circus talk as "the catch" That,
interpreted by the Boston Herald,
means that a man hangs by his legs
and grasps by the wrists the somer-
saulting acrobat as he flies past.
The feat requires an extremely ac-
curate calculation of seconds and
inches, and the most extraordinary
fexibility and agility on the part
Of both performers.
In this difficult act a man who
may be called Silver does the swing
through the air, and one named
Marco does the catching. One day,
in Texarkana, before the show be-
gan, the acrobats saw a dark cloud
on the horizon, and when one sees
that in Texas it is a sign Of trouble.
The equestrian director; who is
ringmaster for that part of the per-
Torrance, asked, "Will you take q
chance on your act |"
The acrobats never like to dis
appoint an audience. and one Of
them said. Gall right, well 60
ahead"
Hurry it up, them" counseled
the equestrian director.
They had put through part of
their performance, and Marco was
hanging by his legs, waiting for Sill
yer to swing, when that black cloud
arrived directly above the tent. 1t
lifted a corner OF the tent and be-
gan to rip it into shreds. The audi
ence knew what was happening and
ran. The elephants began to trum-
pet and the other animals to give
their various cries Of fear.
Silver, however, had started his
swing and was making his triple
somersault through the air, when
the tornado simply lifted the whole
tent, the main pole and their ap-
paratus and shifted it all over at
least eight inches. Partly by luck
and partly by great effort and skill,
Marco managed to catch Silver as
he flew by. To continue in Marcos
own words:
"The minute / had his wrists and
before l had swung him back to his
trapeze, he yelled:
"Hold placesp
"You see, when a wind strikes q
tent or we see other danger COM
ing, the women in our troupe, of
whom there are four-Silver's wife,
my wife and two others-drop into
the net first, and the men after
them. You can't all drop into the
net at once. You've got to take
your turn.
"But the wind had SO twisted our
apparatus about that any one who
dropped would take a chance of
falling outside the net. All the
trapezes were swaying violently.
"Silver landed back on his ira
peze safely, and for six or seven
minutes we all hung tight, while
the tornado blew itself out.
''rhen we dropped down by the
ropes to the ground, and can tell
you,' Marco concluded, eve we're a
mighty thankful lot"

ARE BURGLARS SEEKING
(Continued from Page One)

As the burglar probably had little cause for alarm and was able to work without fear of interruption, the fact that such articles were not taken leaves the purpose of the visits very much in debut
 On the other hand papers of every description were thoroughly inspected letters removed from their envelopes and strewn upon the floors With the possible exception of the burglary of the home of Con P Cronin, state law librarian, the intruder seemed to have taken his own time
 There are at the present time up wards of a dozen state officials or employees holding high position who are absent from the ctiy. So far as known. however, the homes of Con Cronin, State Treasurer Nit Sims and Superintendent of Public Instruction C. Q. Case, who is also a member of the board of pardons and paroles. have been burglarized. The home of Miss Chrissie Gilchrist. superintendent of the Associated Charities. was en- tered recently. A room in the house is occupied by Mrs. NJ. G. Burns who during the recent session of the legis- lature held a clerical position. An other house in the same neighbOrhood was entered. but nothing taken. It may have been that the burglar mistook the house for that of some state oicial and did not discover his mistake until he began ransacking letters and papers.
 The police are endeavoring by every means to solve the mystery, but so for have had but little to work upon.
 Late last night the police received a report that the home of R. C. Sauflev. 92 West L.inwood had been entered and robbed.
 The burglars secured as a result of their depredations, a .45 caliber Colt revolver. a diamond stud, pearl ring, an Elk emblem ring. an F]gin ladies' watch. s4.O0 in silver, and s3.OO in dimes. which they filched from a child's bank
