The Devil Bahv

The knowledge Of the existence ri
the devil baby burst upon the resi-.
dents of Hull house one day when
three italian women, with an excited
rush through the door, demanded that
he be shown to them. No amount of
denial convinced them that he was
not there, for they knew exactly what
he was like, with his cloven hoofs, his
pointed ears and diminutive tail ;
moreover, the devil baby had been able
to speak as soon as he was born and
was most shockingly profane.
His mother, they declared, was a
pious Italian girl married to an athe-
list. Her husband vehemently tore a
holy picture from the bedroom wall
saying that he would quite as soon
have devil in the house as that !.
whereupon the devil incarnated him
self in her coming child. AS soon as
the devil baby was born, he ran about
the table shaking his fingers in deep
reproach at his father, who finally
caught him In fear and trembling
brought him to Hull house. When the
residents there. in spite of the baby's
shocking appearance, wishing to save
his soul, took him to church for bap-
tism, they found that the shawl was
empty and the devil baby, fleeing from
the holy water, ran lightly over the
backs OF the pews.-Jane Adams in

Device for WALKING In Mater

AS result of experiments by spor-
lively inclined Frenchmen, a device for
walking on water has made its appear
ance. Its inventor calls 1t the Hydro
ski-Risso," which had better be short
tened for the sake of convenience into
the simpler "hydroskls." 1t weighs
only IL pounds and will support a
weight of 40 pounds. 1t is essentially
a military device and a soldier thus
equipped can walk over a river at a
speed of seven miles an hour, and
while so engaged can fire his rifle with
accuracy, as the apparatus works, 1t is
said, with great smoothness of motion.

sor picked up a sheet of board and a
charcoal pencil, such as was kept
handy for writing insulting messages
to be displayed to the foemen opposite,
and began to sketch out his circle and
triangle.
Fifty yards away Professor Dubon-
net was suddenly taken with an idea.
Perhaps it was a case of thought
transference; perhaps the inaction Of
trench life had stimulated his thinking
faculties. At any rate, he wrote hur-
riedly upon a miniature blackboard,
with piece of white chalk kept handy
for writing insulting messages to the
enemy across the barbed wire op-
posite.
While these two great minds We're at
work, other minds were laboring I'M

Have you got your men ready?" in

lieutenant in the section of the trench

grams and seems totally ignorant that

him now, scribbling there as If the

Leave him alone. Perhaps he'll get

other answered.
At that moment whistle blew In

scrambled over the parapet of their
trench, and, with fixed bayonets,
rushed madly forward. The Germans,
equally impetuous, stood up to receive
them. In a few seconds the two lines

Jacques Dubonnet, once professor of
mathematics in the University of
Lyons, looked through his trench peri
scope and grunted. Black with rich
Flanders mud, jisheveled, with grub
by nails and a sky-blue uniform barely
distinguishable under the various kinds
of clay that covered it, he looked like
anything except what he had been.
His fat body shook with fear as he
watched the periscopes along the Ger
man trench opposite him. He wiped
the sweat from his forehead, leaving
the trail Of grimy hand there.
"Peste! l am not soldier, l am q
professor" he said. 81 am a coward.
Why could they not have set me an
easier and cleaner Job than this one?"
An expansive smile broke over his
face.
"Why did they not set me to solving
the problem of the relation of the radii
of a circle drawn within an isohedrous
triangle tangental to fixed point on
a parabola?" he asked.
rlIty yards distant Hans Ernest
Muller looked through his periscope
toward the French trenches and
groaned in bitterness of spirit. Dressed
in his gray-green uniform, his stout
form hardly covered by the ill-fitting
clothing, he looked more like rag
picker than an ex-professor of Jena.
"Himmel, l wish had that fellow
Dubonnet here" he said. "He, who
thinks he has solved the problem on
which we were both working at the
outbreak of the war, of the relation of
the radii of circle drawn within an
1sohedrous triangle tangental to a
fixed point on a parabola |"
