FELINE STOWAWAYS.

Cats as stowaways was the I'M
pleasant experience of a captain of
a steamer which recently reached
Aberdeen from the United States.
Shortly after leaving port he was
made aware Of the presence Of his
unwelcome passengers, and upon in
vestigation discovered eleven cats of
all shades and conditions. Black,
white, gray and piebald cats of all
ages, frisky young mothers and be-
whiskered old tommies, made up the
crowd, and life on board the steamer
was made miserable with their fight
ing and vocalizing. Since arriving
in port, Captain johnson has turned
the crowd ashore several times, but
has been unable to get rid of them.
When ready for sea he intends to
have a Waterman at every line to
prevent their getting aboard again.
The officers of the steamer claim the
animals did not use the regular
gangway to come aboard, but came
over the catheads.

BARREL GARDENS.

Many persons have no soil on
their immediate land or lot in which
gardens can be grown. Sand, cinders,
stones, shale or different clays may
be the preventing cause. If such is
the case, secure a number of barrels,
bore a few holes in the bottom for
drainage and few in the sides be-
low the middle, for circulation of the
air through the drainage material
and lower portion of the soil. Fill
the barrels one-fourth full of suit
able drainage material, such as peb-
bles, small stones, charcoal, a few
corncobs, and over this place the
soil, which should be rich in plant
foods, to within two or three inches
of the top, so that when pouring wa
ter on the surface of the soil it will
not be lost in overflow.
Lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes,
melons, cucumbers and other vege-
tables will grow well in such a pre-
pared bed if the earth is kept moist
and the south side of the barrels are
shaded with a board or two on very
hot days.
Many barren or somewhat waste
places can be made to produce hand
somely by this simple method of
home gardening.

POSSIBLE ENDING OF WORLD
French Scientist Shows How II May
Come Through Admission OF
Ocean to Interior.

A new kind of end of the world
has been imagined by NJ. Louis RAJ
bourdin, a French scientist. Some
times it has been suggested that the
world will gradually become cold, so
that life will be frozen out. M. Ra-
bourdin, however, thinks it pos
sible that the earth might end in an
incandescent blaze.
The earth's crust, he says, is very
thin at the bottom of the sea, and
should it give way in consequence OF
volcanic action, the earth might be
consumed in flames.
Suppose" he states, "that, fol-
lowing an extraordinary twisting
movement, due to retreat of the CEN
trail mass, large mass of the sea-
bottom should give way, and, fall
ing suddenly, should let in the mass
Of the oceans waters upon the in
candescent interior matter. The wa
ter would be decomposed by the
heat, the hydrogen would burn, and
it would burn more as it had access
to more oxygen.
"The conhagration would then
gain in force, accompanied by cleo
trio phenomena, and the greater
part of the earth's crust would prob
ably be displaced. The earth, pass
ing through critical epoch and re-
turning for the time being to its
formative period, would again be
nothing but a globe of fire."

BOY STRICTLY ~on THE lob"
Youth Knew the Rules, and for Brief
Space Mr.. Edison Was Barred
From His Own Plant.

This amusing story of Mr.. Edison
is being told in New York. The
great inventor unlocked the gate
leading to the laboratory yard in the
Edison plant in West Orange, N. j.,
one morning recently, and was walk
ing toward his private library on the
first floor when he was intercepted
by a sixteen-year-old lad, who had
just become attached to the labora-
tory Office force.
"No strangers allowed in here"
said the boy to the white-haired man.
at is a rule of the building that no
one except employees can enter this
building unless they have an APP
pointment with Mr.. Edison, and you
can't see him, because he is at home"
'To whom do 1 go if / wish to

they shook hands. He added:

tinue to see that the rules of this

ACTS OF HERO|SM TO Be Rewarded

In giving the soldier his medal 1t was
ordered set down in the records that
the reason for the gift was "most con-
spicuous gallantry In action"
The Twenty-third infantry went into
a fight at LaPaz, Luzon, Philippine Is
lands. A soldier Of the command was
wounded and left on the field. The
spot where the infantryman fell was
commanded by the rifles Of the enemy.
Private Shelton saw the plight of his
cOmrade, and without waiting for or
ders he advanced alone directly into
the open, his appearance being d.
rect and speedily accepted invitation
for the enemy to concentrate it's fire
upon him. Shelton went on with the
shots playing about him, picked up the
wounded man and carried him back
along a path Of fire until he was safe
within the lines.
Had Soldiers Soul.
Augustus Valley of the Tenth cav
airy was cook. He was connected
with Troop Z of the Tenth. Augustus
Valley, cook, had soldiers soul. In
the summer of 1881. Troop E wns in
the field in pursuit of hostile Apache
Indians. The command arrived at the
Cuchillo Negro mountains, New Mexi-
co, and ran into large band of the
hostiles. A sergeant of the troop was
shot by the first fire from the con-
cealed reds and he fell from his horse
at the base of n rock, which luckily
protected him from further fire. The
troop was compelled to fall back un-
der the suddenness of the attack and
the sergeant was left where he fell.

SHARKS TO SERVE MANKIND
Veteran Fisherman Believes That,
Properly Handled, the Meat Of
the Fish Is Edible.

Russell J. Coles of Danville, Va,
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harpoon devilfish, announced that he
has discovered n method Of preventing
worldwide starvation by tests he has
carried out with regard to certain spe-
cies of the dark shark and ray family.
Mr.. Coles has just come back from
Morehead City, n. c. where he caught
n number of fish, and despite the pop
ular belief that the eating of them
would bring death in n terrible form.
he decided to take the risk and he
sampled several of them. He has sent
n complete record of his findings to
Herbert Hoover in the hope that the
food administrator will incline an ear
and start the fashion Of shark eating.
Mr.. Coles believes that the sides of
the larger fish may be tanned and con-
verted into marketable leather.
After trying several methods the
Danville man gives the following re-
clpe for cooking shark steak:
Salt heavily for 30 minutes, soak out
in three waters, parboil few minutes,
change water, parboil again. cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
amount Of seasoning must he used ac-
cordlng to the odor Of the meat.
