She remembered now how Marian

her father.
"Oh! Let go, father: you are hurt

Tears came to her eyes, for the cir

she rose TO her feet her hand knocked
from the shelf in the safe little paste

the room, opening as II did so.
Upton sprang forward to pick IL up
dropping the open note from his out

which he thrust roughly into the bo

Dorothy facing him, the newspaper
clipping in her hand.
"Oh! OH" she cried, and again
"Oh!"
She gulped.
"And they accused him Of that! II

A Novel Toy Outfit,

Among the toys of a constructive ma
ture which have been introduced of late
is a COnCrete-block making outfit which
has the double advantage Of being edu-
Cattonal as well as entertaining. In the
April Popular Mechanics Magazine the
toy is described, with illustrations show
ing each step taken in making the lit
tie blocks. 1t is not surprising. in view
OF the widespread use OF cement as a
building material, that children's play
things should in some way be Influenced
by this product. but it is interesting to
note in what way this has manifested
itself. The toy in question is one of
very modest proportion. It's parts con-
sist of tiny bucket combination spade
and tamper, a sheet-metal mortar box, a
couple of iron castings and wood blocks
for molding purposes. and a small bag
of sand and cement of the proper mix
ture. The whole paraphernalia fits in a
pastebOard box of pocket size. With it
a yOungster is able to make his own
blocks, and in a half dozen shapes and
dimensions. With these he may build
houses that look like houses or a whole
city of them if he wishes The extent
of his building operations depends solely
upon his store Of cement which may be
OF almost any commercial brand. Here
an advantage comes, for the boy, al
though he may be only ) or s years
Of age. may learn to mix cement, mold
1t into different forms and then erect
something with the blocks thus pro-
duCed. The educational value of this is
considerable, for a child teaches himself
something which is of permanent value
and unCOnsciously instills in his make
up that spirit of enterprise which is most
necessary for his proper development.

Fish Travel by Elevator.

To enable migratory hsh 20 pass such
barriers as waterfalls and dams when
ascending river to spawn, the Cana
dian commissioner of fisheries has devel-
oped an elevator which is apparently
practicable. 1t has been placed in serv-
ice at 24-foot fall in the ST. Croix
River, N. B., and Is operating success
fully, according to advices. In part the
device consists of a vertical shaft erected
several feet from the falls. Guides, or
walls. radiate from both sides of the
structure to the opposite banks Of the
stream so that fish are led to It. A
cage in which the latter are trapped and
carried to the top OF the shaft, where
they are automatically dumped into a
sluiceway and discharged into the water
on the upstream side of the barrier, is
hoisted by means Of counterpoise tank
which Is periodically filled with water
from supply reservoir surmopnting the
tower. The cage and tank are secured to
the opposite ends OF a cable that passes
over pulleys at the top of the shaft. The
fish compartment Is provided with two
doors, one at each end. When II is at the

the Beers toward the close OF the Anglo

was deluded into believing that by kill

gle.
But Gen. Lee was Of a different tenn

beaten in a fair struggle on the fields
Of battle and that prolonging the fighting

were determined the terms Of peace,
which were formally written down in
the Wilmer Mclean house in the after
noon.
Lee had dressed for the occasion with
great care. Grant on the contrary,
lacked his full dress and appeared in his
fatigue" uniform. with jack boots
dusty from the hard campaign. Strange
ly enough, Gen. Lee had nothing with
which to write. A pocket inkstand and
quill pen were loaned by an officer of
the General Staff, and 1t was with these
that the historic document was written.
Afterwards an effort was made to ar
rest and indict Lee for treason, but
Grant, who knew Lees nobility of
character and how he had fulfilled to
the letter all of the surrender obliga-
tions, prevented any such disgraceful
sequel to that memorable meeting at Ap-
pomattox.

Checker Games by Wireless,

Members of the Watertown, N. Y,
Radio Association who are checker en-
thusiasts are indulging in nightly long
distance games. This odd diversion has
a number of devotees, and plans are now
being made for general tournament in
which the entire personnel of the or
gantzation will participate. In playing
checkers by wireless, two boards instead
of only one, are used. The squares on
these are numbered, while each set of
men is letteTed. By this system the va
rious moves are easily designated and
the game pursued without delays. Three
hours were consumed in playing the first
contest some time ago. Now, however.
it requires only a little more time to
play off a wireless game than one con-
tested in the usual WaY.-April Popular
