PARTY TREED BY CARABAO
ton Harrison Faced lnfuriated
Animal and Killed 1t.

Chased up tree by wounded cara
bao, while engaged in hunting in the
jungle near Bongambong, Nueva
Ecija, Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Har-
rison had one of the most exciting ex.
periences of his career in the Philip
pine islands
1t was after having been wounded
by bullet from Mr.. Harrison's .405
Winchester that a female carabao
charged the governor general and his
party, forcing them all to take to the
trees, and it was shortly afterward
that the chief executive of the Philip
pines, displaying rare nerve, climbed
down from his retreat, and engaging
the animal alone on the ground, killed
her as she charged the carabao drop
ping dead in her tracks Is feet from
where Mr. Harrison stood, his outlet
having struck the animal between the
eyes.
The governor general and the other
members OF the party considered the
experience rare sport and a fitting
climax to very successful hunting
trip.

Poisonous Metals.

1t is well known that such metals
as lead, mercury, arsenic, antimony,
zinc, ETC., as well as substances con
tanning them, have a greater or less
poisonous effect upon the human sys-
tenn. Workers in various industries
where poisonous metals are used have
to take every precaution for removing
particles from the skin, as otherwise
slow poisoning is inevitable 1t is i'm.
portant to observe that washing with
ordinary soap does not completely
remove such particles, because the
soap tends to form with most metals
insoluble compounds which still can
produce poisonous effects Ordinary
bleaching powder (chloriGe of lime)
is much better than soap for remov,
ing poisonous particles. 1t loosens
them by both mechanical and chem,
ical action. 1t is also a strong but
harmless disinfectant, and is practi.
cally as cheap as soap.-C. E. Val,

Girl SWAN Twenty-one Miles,

Miss Eileen Lee, a young English
woman of Teddington, swan 212t
miles in hours and 38 minutes in the
Thames the other day, one of the most
remarkable swimming feats ever &C.
complished by woman. 1t was the
grace and ease of her style of swim,
ming that enabled Miss Lee to accom-.
plish her record
This is not the only exceptional per-
formance that Miss Lee has accom-
plished. for a few days earlier She
swan 161a miles in record time. Those
who have had experience of LONG
swimming in the Thames pronounce
Miss Lees more recent feat the more
difficult because she swan both on
the ebb and flood tide. The most at
tempts at records in the river have
been made on the ebb tide alone. #
was calculated that the young woman
maintained an average rate of 20
strokes to the minute.

NOVEL STAIR IDEA
Designed for Use Where Space Is
Limited.
Should Be Especially Valuable in City
Tenement Houses and on Pas
sage Ways Leading to
Easements.

1t often happens in planning house
that the architect is confronted with
the impossibility of accommodating a
staircase in a narrow space. 1t is
easy enough to lead the narrow stairs
down from one floor to the next, but
when the landing can be no wider
than the stairway he is at a loss to
carry the stairs any further. No such
difficulties present themselves where
there is plenty Of room and stairs
can be made to turn around cen
trail opening or can be placed one
flight over another with landing
alongside of each floor.
To solve the difficulty of narrow
space for the staircase William F.
Rodgers of ST Louis conceived the
idea of making a door right in the
stairs, these to lift on hinge so
as to open a way to the flight below.
He worked out his idea and has just
received patent thereon He calls
his device an automatic stair-door
The landing is only the width of the
stairs that come down to it. On press

ing catch on the lowest step-a
kick with the toe will do it-four OF
the stairs rise, swinging on a hinge
in the uppermost of the four and
moved by weight hanging from an
arm underneath. This leaves an en-
trance to the flight below, and one can
close the stair-door on going down by
simply giving the weight push UP
ward.
Coming up from below, the person
who wants to open the Stair-door finds
a chain hanging underneath it; a pull
on this chain releases the catch ana
the stairs move upward.
The utility of such device will be
found principally on stairs leading to
cellars and easements.

Old Naval Superstition.

One of the oldest superstitions in
the navy is that to change the name
of ship is to court disaster and it is
curious fact that the present war has
provided several illustrations OF the ill
luck which seems to attend renamed
vessel.
The battleship Triumph was laid
down as the Libertad for Chile; the
armored cruiser Good Hope as the
Africa, the light cruiser Pathfinder as
the Fastnet, the armored merchant
man Viknor as the Viking, the patrol
boat Char as the Stranton, and torpedo
boats 10 and II as the Greenhy
and Moth. All these vessels OF the
English navy have gone to the bot
tom.
On the other hand, the four British
destroyers which sank four German
destroyers in October, 1914, the Loyal,
Legion, LennOx and Lance were, until
early in 1914 known as the Orlando
Vida, Portia and Daring.

tiently the coming of the preacher.
But the shadows heightened and it be
gan to grow dark down in the valley.
Then came the sound of hoofs on the
road, and she laughed.
Il knew he'd come" she said Tay-
Ior was silent. 1t was Gabe Williams
who drew rein at the door and grinned
nonchalantly down at them both
Waiting for me, Mandy?" he asked
mildly. "'Cause I'm ready"
"Cut it out, Gabe," advised Taylor,
as he stepped up beside the horse and
stroked it's steaming neck gently.
Preaching in hell, / hope" said
Gabe genially. Did you tell her
was going to be rich? Tell her I'd
take her away from here and she
could have anything she liked-dia-
monds, too Did you tell her all that
for me?"
Where's Robertson?" repeated Tay
lor, holding the bride Gabe avoided
his keen, gray eyes. What did you
do with him."
And all at once the blood of old Jed
told. Mandy slipped back into the
cabin and came out with her fathers
rifle up to her chin, leveled at Gabe.
Her voice rang out clear and sharp
in the still air:
"You turn about and lead the way
or I'll shoot. l know you, Gabe Will
liams, and your ways, too You ride
ahead!"
And Gabe turned and rode ahead,
sullen ,and dogged, yet proud, too, of
her courage in baking him Taylor
tried to take the gun away from her,
but she shook her head, white-lipped,
eyes brilliant with excitement
"You don't know them up here. You
have to cover them,'' she said Go
ahead, Gabe."
He led them to the mouth of the
cave and Mandy waited while the two
men went in. Bound fast at feet and
wrists, Harley lay on the brink of
pit, within sound of trickling water
Il was coming to see him every
cay" Gabe said. 'I wasn't going to
kill him-just frighten him bit and
get. him good and hungry and
thirsty then tell him to get out of
these parts and never come back after
I'd married Mandy. I wasn't going to
kill him nohow"
"Gabe, you're primitive male, but
you don't know women" Taylor lift
ed the preacher gently. "Help get
him out into the fresh air"
II am not hurt or harmed praise
Cod" Harley gasped. THE cord
around my throat was tight. Loosen
it, and I will fight the man in the open
air."
But out in the twilight Mandy wait
ed calm-eyed and dominant over the
situation. She took Gabe's horse by
the bride and bade him help set Har-
ley in the saddle. Then she mounted
behind him, and handed Taylor the
gun.
You give that to Pop in the morn
ing" she said. 'T'll leave the horse
in the village, Gabe. You can get it
after we're gone. And if you try to
shoot when our backs are turned,
you'll get me, too. Good-by, Mr. Tay-
lor."
Harlsy smiled down at them and
waved his hand. Her arms held him
with sheltering love, and the glow
of the sky seemed to be in her face
as they rode away. Gabe watched
them out of sight.
That's Mandy all over,' he said
gently.
