PIdqin Enullsh.

The world pidgin, or pidgeon, as
connected with English, is a China
mans poor attempt to pronounce the
word business. Brewer gives it-busi-
ness, bidginess, bidgen and pigeon,
Pigeon English, therefore, means busi-
ness in English. 1t is a strange ad-
mixture of English, Chinese and POr7
tuguese, and is used in all parts of
the far east as a means of cOmmuni-
cation between the natives and the
foreigners. During nearly half a CEN
tury, and especially since the opening
of many ports to Europeans, business
relations have developed to such vast
proportions and reached into so many
channels that some universally under
stood means of communication became
absolutely necessary, and pidgin or
pigeon English was the natural result.
Its requirement in the coast ports, at
all events, is a matter of importance
both with traders and with natives,
who seek situations in foreign employ,
and it has become popular as a medi-
um of communication.

In Position TO Defy Snake.

There was an old fellow down in
north Alabama and out in the noun
tains he kept his jug in the hole Of a
log. He would go down at sundown
to take a swig of mountain dew
mountain dew that had never been hu-
inflated by a revenue officer nor in
suited by a green stamp. He drank
that liquid concoction that came fresh
from the heart of the corn, and he
giOwed. One evening while he was
letting the good liquor trickle down
his throat he felt something touch his
foot. He looked down and saw a big
rattlesnake cOiled ready to strike.
The old fellow took another swig
of the corn, and in defiance he swept
that snake with his eyes:
"Strike, dern you, strike, you will
never find me better prepared

New Kind of Bomb,

During the raid on enemy aliens In
New York city, the police discovered
an entirely new kind of bomb, writes
a Gotham correspondent.
1t consists of a finely constructed
cedar box, divided into two compart.
ments. On one side is the space for
the explosive, which may be dynamite
or nitroglycerine. On the other side
is the mechanism that discharges the
Illuminating cap. A strong coil spring
is released by the slightest tug on
the handle of the box. When the ap-
paratus is set merely lifting the box
is sufficient to explode the contents.
By inserting a small steel pin in the
partition the bomb is made safe and
may be carried about like a tool case.
Withdrawing the pin and closing the
lid means certain death to the next
person who lifts it.
"Just imagine what a thing like that
could do in a munitions plant" Ger
tain Tunneysaid. But he would not
throw any light on the circumstances
under which the bomb was found.

take special course preparatory to

one of the students Of the United

James H. Wheatley, wholesale con-
fectioner of Dover. sustained a thous
and dollar loss of his Overland tour
ing car Wedneday last, when it was
destroyed by fire and Mrs. Wheatley
had a narrow escape from being con.
sumed in the machine. When withir
four miles of Baltimore, where they
were going to spend Thanksgiving
with Mrs. Wheatley's parents, they
stopped at a garage to have engine

Evanoration cooIs Food.

You can fry an egg on a rock in
the Imperial Valley of California by
letting the sun do the cooking, but a
Rockefeller couldn't afford the price Of
a tumbler of cracked ice, says the
Popular Science Monthly. But this
does not mean that the Californians
have to do without food refrigerators.
J. G. Hill of Mecca, near the Salton
sea, has contrived an evaporation
cooled refrigerator which requires no
ice.
1t has a wooden framework, and in
cludes numerous shelves. Several
layers of burlap cover it. A perfor-
ated tin can at the top is connected
with hose which sprinkles water over
the entire bulap surface. The evap-
Grafton keeps the interior cool.
