After They Got Going.

Hilda Jensen rushed up to Officer
Cohen. "Officer, that man is follow
ing me"
Faith, then I'll foley tn man an
sec why he's folleyin' ye!" spake Of
ficer Cohen, who had been member
OF tia force for some time.
A crowd of small boys, seeing po-
liceman following a man, started in
pursuit and followed the policeman.
At that a crowd of men, seeing a
crowd of boys, followed the crowd of
boys.
The rest of the city, observing all
these people following one another,
took the procession for parade and
soon had the sidewalks roped off and
themselves lined in dense banks be-
hind the rope to enjoy the spectacle.
The board Of education hearing of a
parade, declared holiday and thou
sands of children ran trooping out OF
the schools. Catching the infection,
banks closed and general jubilation
reigned.
When Officer Cohen caught up to the
strange follower of Hilda Jensen, it
developed that he had only been en-
deavoring to return her handkerchief,
which she had dropped, but by that
time it had once again been demon
strated that all an idea needs in this
dear old country of ours is a good

Sharks Scare Crabs Away.

The sharks have chased the sue
culent crab from their habitat and
caused a scarcity of crustaceans. In
other words they have grabbed the
game" For the first time since 1874
the crab seems to have quit its habitat
along the coast, a New York CORE
Spondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch
writes. Crab fishermen who in former
years made goodly profits selling their
catches by the basketful, now find it
days work to catch enough crabs
to feed their own families. Actor
colonies have found it necessary to
substitute clam bakes for crab sup
pers, and, in a manner of speaking,
that isn't a calamity because beer
goes best with clans, while crabs re-
quire a champagne 1uctuation. Any
how, if the waiter hands you a bill
for $3.50 for the cold boiled Brachyur-
Gus crustacean, or blue crab of Ameri-
can waters, don't commence to boiler
until he tells you that crabs are good
at any price, and the sharks eat S1.5O
worth at one gulp.

CELLO PLAYING HARD WORK
Experiments Show That Four Tons OF
Energy Are Necessary to Play
Single Selection.

A simple air played on the violon-
cello calls for a total expenditure OF
energy equal to two and three-quarter
pounds per note or more than four tons
of energy for the single selection, notes
Popular Science Monthly. This is
youched for by Prof. Poffenberger OF
Columbia university, who made some
experiments in his laboratory with the
aid of the famous Dutch cellist
Michael Penha.
A special apparatus is necessary to
conduct the tests. Against the surface
of a revolving carbon cylinder is sus-
pended a chalk point which is actuated
by a slender wire attached to the
musicians finger. At each pressure
the tension vibrates along the COM
municating connection and records the
energy expended.
At a recent test Michael Penha at
times raised the point to q distance
equaling three pounds in weight, that
being the record of the forefinger. The
pressure alone required to produce tie
Enthusiastically luscious tones of a
simple Bach aria averaged two and
three-quarter pounds per note. The
total energy expended amounted to
9,414 pounds, or more than four tons.
This same amount Of energy would
be sufficient to carry a laborer through
his entire days work. Yet it took but
five minutes for the artist to exert the
same amount of force.

Wonderful DRILLING Machine.

A remarkable example of concen-
trated labor saving is the new null
tiple-spindle drilling machine that at
one operation drills the 46 holes re-
quired in an automobile transmission
case. The holes vary in size from 3-16
to 27-16 inch and some are on an
angle, but all are drilled in two or
three minutes, although the work for
merly required five different machines
and involved seven different opera
tons. A 25-horse power motor at the
rear drives the main shaft. This is
connected to the horizontal heads by
steel gears and cloth pinions, and to
the vertical head by beveled gears and
correct spindle speeds are obtained
through gear reductions in oil-tight
boxes on the head.

Saws ENGLAND Needs Repentance.

Canon Newbolt, preaching at st.
Paul's cathedral, said there was no
good Disgusting the fact that England
as nation needed both repentance
and hope. "Those of us behind the
scenes in the moral life of the nation"
he added, "know that in many ways
things are as bad as ever they can
be, and there are some things so bad
that they cannot be alluded to with
propriety from this pulpit"
In a plea for strong public opinion
against evil, Canon Newbolt pointed
out that if there were no demand
there would be no supply. If youth
would set its face against immodest
post cards and other evils. the supply
would cease. Much could be done by
few resolute men in purifying the
atmosphere. "Let u.s." he urged, make

TO SAVE BIRD SANCTUARY
Audubon Societies Working to Pre-
vent Threatened Destruction OF
Reservation in Oregon.

The destruction of one of the larg.
est, if not the largest, federal bird
reservation in the United States is
threatened, according to an announce
ment made by T. Gilbert Pearson OF
New York city, secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Audubon socie-
ties. The reservation threatened is at
Lake Malheur, in southeastern Oregon,
and is breeding place for hundreds
Of thousands Of wild ducks, wild geese
and other water fowl.
Application has been made to the
federal authorities for permission to
drain the lake in order to secure the
land it covers. The lake is six miles
wide by Is miles long, and is about
six feet deep. 1t supplies an ideal
breeding place for wild water fowl,
Mr.. Pearson says, and, therefore, 1t
attracts wild geese and ducks from
Canada in large numbers. Its de-
struction, he declares, will leave thou
sands Of young water fowl without a
home.
Secretary Pearson has taken the
matter up with the officials Of the
general land Office, who have prom
Used to investigate. 1t Is understood
that those who plan the destruction
of the bird reservation have already
secured the cooperation of the state
land board of Oregon. For that rea-
son, Mr.. Pearson regards the situation
as imminent and believes it will re-
quire quick and earnest appeals to the
secretary of the interior from those
who believe in the protection of wild
birds, to prevent the destruction of the
colony.

Bareback Rider,

Albert Leisure and Winifred Trout
are neighbors living northeast of Tip
ton.
Leisure says that Trout's sheep daily
pass his home going to the pasture.
One of Mrs. Leisure's young White
Rock chickens, weighing about pound
and a half, has formed an affection for
the flock and enjoys riding on the backs
of the sheep, going to the Trout farm
each evening and sleeping between two
lambs instead of going to roost with
the other chickens. Next morning the
chicken rides a sheep back to the Leis-
ure home.
This custom has been noted by the
Trout family for several days and yes
terday when the sheep trotted off down
the road before the passenger was
ready to get aboard, Mrs. Trout sent
the chicken to the field by her little
daughter, thinking it would be discon-
tented overnight in the poultry house
and disappointed over the loss Of its
morning ride.-Indianapol News.

WAY rHE sRoNcHO JUMPED
Pony's Remarkable Performance Had
Four Times in Night Saved
Its Rider From Death.

A former herdsman relates thrill
ing personal experience connected
with a stampede of cattle. He was
taking a herd of 400 steers to Lead
Vile, and had camped for the night on
Bear river, near its junction with the
Little Snake. At midnight, when he
went on guard, all was quiet, but in
an hour or so, for some unexplained
reason, the cattle were up and off
like flash; something had stampeded
them.
He was riding an old blue-colored,
line-backed California bronchO, just
the beast for the work. He had often
ridden him a hundred miles day.
The night was dark and cloudy, and he
had to rely on the animals surefooted-
ness as he StrOve to stay on the
TANKS of the steers and turn them I'M
til their scare should cease.
1t was q wild race. Four or five
times the broncho gave tremendous
jumps, but landed right and went on

hour or so the man had the beeves
quieted.
When daylight came, being curious
to learn what obstacles had occasioned
those tremendous jumps of the bron-
cho, the man set forth to look over
the ground. Leaving the bottom land,
the steers had assembled a gentle accliV-
ity, and on the plateau at the top he
had kept circling them.
The plateau was intersected by a
canyon about four miles long and from
1900 to 1000 deep. It's walls inclined
toward each other at the top, and the
distance across was Is or 20 feet.
During the chase the broncho had
jumped that frightful chasm four
times! His hoof-marks were plainly
visible; and down in the debris, hun
dreds of feet below, were c dozen man.

Make Silk SAUSAGE Skins.

Germany now is making sausage
skins of raw silk, according to the
Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung,
Even before the war experiments were
being conducted in the making of
hollow casing of raw silk to be filled
with sausage meat. The Elberfeld rib
bon factory is now turning out great
lengths of this sausage casing. Just
now, however, owing to the shortage
of meat, very large quantities Of cas-
ing are not needed. With the ordinary
prices of raw silk prevailing the new
casing is no dearer than the usual saul
sage skins.

in fact, the people were childless. He

men. Said he, very blandly:
