lust How Limpets Stick.

Everyone is familiar with the saying
ito stick like limpet," but there are
not so many who know how Il Is that
n limpet is able to stick as Ii does
to the rocks upon which 1t passes its
existence. The creature is able, by
means of the central portion of its
body. which can be raised independent.
ly of the edge or frill which surrounds
1t. to create vacuum. much in the
same way that a piece of soft wet
leather can be made to adhere to Il
smooth surface by pressing out all the
air. Thus the so-called strength"
of the limpet is largely due to atmos-
pheric pressure. . 1t Is not entirely
so, however, for If they are closely ex-
amined 1t will be seen that the shells
accommodate themselves round the
edges to the surface of the rock upon
which the limpet is located, and If re-
moved to another spot the edge of the
shell will probably be found to be II
very bad HI, and the creatures power
to adhere somewhat lessened. II
taken by surprise with sharp side
long blow even a large limpet is easily
enough dislodged, but given the slight
est warning. its power of suction is
instantly brought into play, and very
often considerable force is then neces-
sary ere 1t can be detached.

Tale Of a Pin
BY DIR. SAMUEL G. DIXON.

The pin is born with millions of
brothers and sisters, who leave home
to travel to all parts of the world. On
their journey they come in contact
with us human beings and it might be
interesting to take up, what some
times happens when they do so.
Suppose a pin found its way into
the laundry of shirt manufacturer.
We would be likely to hear of 1t, first
in the mouth of one of those folding
the shirt and preparing it for ship
ment. This pin, es well as others,
might perhaps be making its first in
Innate acquaintance with the germ
that produces sore throat. The shirt
gets to the consumer who starts to
make 1t ready for use. For the Sec
Ond time the poor pin finds the human
mouth again, its abiding place. Pos
sibiy this time 1t gets into an ulcerat-
ed mouth, thence 1t gets into the pin

with his sweetheart he should not
marry the girl.
Between you and me, 1t is not pos
sible for a man who loves beauty, If
1t be art or nature in the shape Of
beautiful women, to shut his eyes as
they fit before him. His error lies in
the fact that he allows his wife to
observe his admiration. Far be it
from me to counsel deception, but
there must be some truth to float the
old saying, "What the eyes don't see,
the heart don't grieve over"
The man who has the flirting pro-
pensity bred in the bone is pretty apt
to take cruel delight in making his
better half jealous. He wants her to
realize that she has a prize whom 9th
er women covet. In his blindness re-
garding women's nature he is Of the
opinion that she will appreciate him
the more. 1t does not occur to him for
an instant that quite the reverse is
the case. He usually finds out too

the workings of the Westchester Min

From Kokomo comes information
that one of the greatest strikes ever
made in that camp in recent years
was made by George r. Thompson on
the Golden Queen mine.
During the past year the Portland
mine produced ore valued at $3,040,-

$76S, S,S09.S4, and dividends of $420,000

"Sick" Pump Doctored at
Long Distance by the Aid of
Record Made on Photograph

1t is related that one of the big
pumps at the Elk River (Cal.) pump
Ing station got out Of order. just
what caused the difficulty no one at
the station could tell. 1t had been
made years before by New York
company. Now the question was how
to get it repaired. To call man
across the continent for the purpose
would be expensive, and happily n bet
ter device was thought of.
A monograph was called into requi-
sition. The manager spoke into the
receiver, describing the symptoms Of
the ailing pump, and further to indi-
cate the case, he placed the receiver
so that the pulsations of the pump
could be recorded.
Just as n physician listens to the ac-
body by means of n stethoscope, so the
pump doctor listened by means of a
phonograph to the throbs and pulsa-
tions of the pump thousands of miles
away. and was enabled by that means
to diagnose the disease.
A number of persons listened to the
strange combination at the New York
Office of the company. The voice of the
Californian from the phonograph was
heard first, giving in clear. precise
and distinct way, the symptoms of the
pump. Then was heard the b-r-r-bang
b-r-r-r-bang of the pump, and an occa-
sional wheeling sound which might be
made by escaping steam.
The engineer to whom the phono-
graph was submitted said that the
whole record was so perfect that he
felt tempted sometimes to ask ad-
ditional questions. The experiment
proved absolutely successful The
proper remedy was suggested, and the
pump was soon running "as good as
new"

Beware the Married Male Flirt

wear out and eventually oust the most
romantic love. True love exists only
where there are peace Of mind and
content. The woman who has flirt-
ing mate Is fearful of growing old and
losing her charms. She is always on
the keen edge of worry, trying to
guard against heart stabs. This sours
her disposition and congeals her wom-
anly love. for other women. No mat
ter how greatly some beautiful wom-
ans personality may appeal to her,
she Is more than apt to repel that 9TH
er woman's appeal for friendship. She
knows why. From the altar to the
grave, the wife of the flirting husband
knows little peace.
When a girl has falling out with
her flirting beau and he turns from
her to the charms of another, she may
cry out in agony that heaven was un-
kind to her, whereas heaven was most
kind in saving her from an after life
full Of torture, had she been granted
her hearts desire. The fiirt should
marry girl who is not averse to the
flirting game herself. They could take
turns on keeping tabs on each other.
He would know that she could not flirt
long after arriving at that turnstyle-
fair, fat and forty. She could not
have that assurance regarding him.
He might cast sleeps eyes even at

Greatest Ship-ToWing Feat.

for performing the greatest ship-tow-

out with new engines. For the long

not recognize disease germs by the

its cargo Of germs is ready for new
service. This time, perhaps, by u
dressmaker, If she has the bad habit
already alluded to. she fills her mouth
with these pins while she cuts with
her patterns and fits various pieces
together. This time for variation, the
pin may have found lodgment in a
pleasant fault, when you know the
pins history thus far, to think of any
one making such use of them.
Many mother who uses pins in
fastening childs dress together, does
the same thing. By this time, in the
pins life history, 1t is quite well armed
with spores of germs and really is
accountable for much harm along its
path of travel. And now as 1t is get
ting old and about ready to close its
life, little child may be stricken with
tonsilitiS or diphtheria or even scarlet
fever, because some of these diseases
are easily communicable from thrOats
so recently affected by the disease that
the danger is not recognized. The
presence of the germs that have been
referred to on the pin, is real dam
ger, as the physician or laboratory
worker knows he can take these germs
from pins in everyday use, and plant
them in foodstuffs that will make them
grow and multiply in great numbers /;
colonies can be seen by the naked
eye and they can be injected into
other living beings apd produce dis
ease.
The habit Of putting pins into the
mouth would not continue for mo-
ment If everyone knew this.
The moral of this little story is,
never hold pins in the mouth as they
spread disease. even fatal disease.
