CHAPTER v.
The Return Of Lem.

Mrs. Brown and the children went
back to Sheffield on Sunday so that
Monday morning work could begin
early. She went out to work three
days a week and on the other three did
washlngs at home. 1t was the end Of
summer and school would soon begin (;
for another week or two Mary Alice
could stay at home while her mother
went out. After that decision must
be made. Should Mary Alice forego
further schooling for economic reasons
and either stay at home to enable Mrs.
Brown to work out, or get job her.
self so that her mother could remain at
home, doing such work as she could at
her own tubs? The rent must be
paid, Dicky must have milk. Mrs.
Brown almost regretted the two weeks
of idleness; she would have to work
twice as hard to pay for them.
One night Francis Willett met Mary
Alice on Clipper HILL AS usual ne
took the wagon tongue from her hand
and started to draw the load up the
long slope.
"I'm not comm here any more" said
Mary Alice.
"Why not?"
"And I've got a job; I'm goin' to
work at Stacey's."
100. gee! You're goin' to work for
Toots Stacey's dad? That's swell. I'd
like to work In store. How's Sir
Charlie ThomasY

"Your father has?"
"Sure. He drove out again to see
Sam Thomas. He says he's goin' to

Charles legs. He isn't really my
Uncle Billy--he was fathers college
room-mate. and now he's great doc
tor. My dad says Uncle Billy knows
more about feet and legs and spinas
than anybody in the world-he's spe-
cializer."
Mary Alice answered something
very incoherent. Sudden tears blurred
before her eyes. Suppose this great
doctor should help Charlie? All the
way up the hill she walked in silence
by Francis Willett's side.
"For goodness sake, Mary Alice"
the boy burst out, why don't you
talk? never saw such a person as
you"
"Francis, would you do me favor

CHAPTER lv-contlnued.

Francis Willett came out again. this
time by himself. He arrived quite
early in the morning and announced
his intention of staying all day. The
chauffeur set down a great basket of
fruit by the side door before backing
his car to the road.
The children passed most of the
forenoon in the orchard, talking of
this and that, viewing the increasingly
successful efforts of little Dick Brown
to walk, discussing the honors and du-
ties Of Galahad knight. Francis
showed his companions some marvel
GUS feats of strength and agility, using
a tree limb for trapeze. After din

But Mary Alice was timid. She
stood on the bank and watched Fran
els interestedly. What a nice boy, she
thought. He could do most anything;
he wasn't afraid. The old rotting
planks along the top of the dam might
crumble under foot and send him into
the pond, but he went boldly on. The
water in the fiume was about ten feet
deep.
Francis reached the flume, whose
boxlike sides stood three or four feet
higher than the dam. The boy drew

ELECTRIC FURNACES

An electric furnace for tie heat treatment OF
steel used in automobile construction has been
introduced Its method OF producing uniform
dependable heat that is urgently sought by
automobile manufacturers is quite novel in cleo
trio furnace practice. although its principle is
comparable to that Of the well-known Nernst
lamp. Both the floor and the domelike covers of
this furnace are of refractory material which is
practically remembering at ordinary tempera-
lures. To start the furnace, a current Is passed
through a bed of coke laid on it's floor On bein-
sufficiently heated the floor becomes a conductor
and In turn heats the wall and top rendering
them conductive. until finally the entire furnace
becomes incandescent 1t is stated by those who
have tried the furnace that its In the heat

lance by wireless an electric shock similar to that
produced by touching charged wire. One can
think of other way in which effects perilous to
life and property could be obtained with cleo
tricity.
With this idea worked out to its ultimate per.
lection, one might foretell such appalling events
In warfare as this: An entire army In its
trenches is without warning seized with the death
agonies of wretch In the electrical chair, and Is
exterminated by silent enemy, using no bullets.
Or, at given moment, every living thing in q
great city Is struck dead as IL by lightning. by
means of force unleashed hundreds of miles
away by officer who merely pulls lever in a
wireless tower.
Tesla appears to see In the future warfare Of
electrical appliances more deadly than all the can
non ever made; he sees entire areas electrified
and made untenabe for any living creature.
Death and destruction will be dealt out at unheard
of distances, with zones of action more spacious
than we now dream of. There is foreshadowed
q conflict in which not armies but nations may
be destroyed in single action, by men armed
with thunderbolts more mighty than those of the
heavens. No wonder that Tesla his own imagi-
nation recoiling in horror. says:
Il hope this is the invention that will make war
impossible"
Another device for which inventors are seeking
is one that will be able. by means of the wireless
current to explode at distance the enemy's
magazines of ammunition. If this were perfected
one man in London. by pressing button. could
set fire to all the explosives in the Krupp factories
and blow that institution into bits: or he could
blow up all the cartridges and explosives in the
German army. Or another man in Berlin could
with stroke blow the English feet out of the
water with its own powder. In article In a
Paris newspaper recently Marconi. father of wire-
less telekraphy, declared that such an invention
would mean the abolition of firearms and re-
version to hand-tohand fighting.

If at all. by the projection OF a flame produced
by hydrogen gas under high pressure. Such
flame can readily be projected for 10 feet, which
might be sufficient when the trenches are close

would melt like wax.
In all of the belligerent countries. and in those

authorities.
1T is, of course, possible" he said to repre-
sentative of the Post Dispatch Sunday Magazine
few days ago. ito produce electrical effects at
distance by means of wireless energy. But the
insurmountable difficulty thus far has been to aim
an electric wave in one direction only, with all
Of its force concentrated on given target.
Il Il will go far to say that after twenty
years of application to the problem of transmitting
energy by wireless, l have Just made valuable
advance in this direction. The stage has been
reached where to extent 1t is practicable to use
this force in war, and to predict such develop
ment as will make electricity supplant cannon In
battle.
1T is impossible to give details at this time. but
In a general way my invention can be used In
three methods r1rT
I'm the first place, it will be possible to send
an explosive body through the air-an aerial tor
pedo flying many times faster than an acceptance
and to direct this projectie to the spot desired.
where it can be exploded by wireless. 1t will be
possible to guide the projectile by wireless after
it has passed beyond the range Of the eye and the
aim is so accurate that it is possible to reduce
the error to a few feet in thousand miles,
"In the second place. it will be practicable with
this apparatus to produce effects at distance
which will interfere with the enemy and tend to
I'm the third place, it promises to be able to
produce at a distance such effects Of electrical
tension as will jeopardize life and property"
The inventor declined to go into specific details
saying that 1t is safer to be specific after the
fact But one would gather from the words he
did speak that he has contrived torpedo Of the
air flying under it's own power as a torpedo swims
In the water, which can be steered by wireless
and exploded by the same force. Such projectile
would have range not of some twenty miles. like
the highest power cannon, but one limited only
by its own flying endurance. 1t would be harder
to hit with shell and rife fire than aeroplane,
because of its smaller size and swifter velocity,
and 1t need not be manned by crew who would
be exposed to death at every instant.
Such missile, aimed according to the mathe-
NAUTICAL formulas used today by gunners whose
target is beyond the range of eye and telescope,
could be dispatched for the destruction of bat
tleship long before her own guns would be able
to come into play. Safe from the shells of the
greatest ordnance, it could start from a point
miles beyond their range and destroy the batteries
without the possibility of reply.
The second and third methods of which Tesla
speaks are discussed in rather cryptic language.

TEST OF YOUTH

You often see woman at the market pinching
the end of a chickens breastbone to find out how
tender-in other words. how young-the fowl is.
Oddly enough the same test with human beings
is one of the most reliable known. If in advanced
life the lower part of your breastbone feels elias
tic when pushed inward, you may assume that
no important changes have yet taken place in
your arteries. otherwise in your anatomical
makeup.
The human breastbone is shaped like an ancient
Roman sword. and the upper part of 1t is like the
sword handle. It's point is q piece OF cartilage,
which anatomists call the "xiphoid" cartilage The
early hardening and stiffening Of 1t indicate that
the changes that accompany old age have prema-
turely begun-Youth's Companion.
