PUDDLES, A CAT FISHERMAN
Emulated Skill of His Master, and En-
joyed Diving in and Fetching
Out the Dogfish.

The English naturalist, Francis
auckland, once told story of a fish
erman of Portsmouth, England, whose
cat, Puddles, emulated in his peculiar
way the fishing skill of his master.
Quoting the fisherman, Mr.. auckland
said:
He was the wonderfullest water
cat as ever come out of Portsmouth
harbor, was Puddles. He used to go
out a-fishin with me every night. Cold
nights he would sit in my lap while I
was a-fishin' and poke his head out
wrap him up in the sail and make him
lie quiet. He'd lay down on me when
l was asleep, and If anyone come he'd
swear a good one, and have the face
off 'em if they went to touch me. And
he'd never touch fish, not even lit
tie teeny pout, if l didn't give 1t to
him. was obligated to take him out
a-fishin', or else he'd stand and yowl
and MARI till went back and catched
him by the poll and SHE'D him into the
boat, and then he was quite happy.
When 1t was fine he used to stick
up at the bow of the boat and sit a.
watchin' the dogfish. They used to
come alongside by the thousands at a
time, and when they was thick all
about he'd dive in and fetch 'em out,
jammed in his mouth, just as If they
was parcel Of rats. He looked ter
rible wild about the head when he
come up out Of the water with the fish
in his teeth.
,, l larnt him the water myself. One
day, when he was q kitten, took him
down to the sea to wash him and
week he could swim after feather
or a cork.-Youth's Companion.

HOW BIG SHELLS ARE TESTED
High Explosives Subjected to Heat
Treatment, Also Tried In BrineIl
BaII-Testing Machine.

If you wish to test the hardness Of
an apple, the most natural way is to
press down upon it's surface and note
the indentation Of your thumb. This
is simple and conclusive evidence. The
French government employs a very
similar test to prove the hardness Of
its high explosive shells, says the Pop
ular Science Monthly.
To secure the maximum of destruc-
ttveness, it Is important not only that
the steel projectiles should be of a
certain hardness, but also that they
should not be too hard. After the cas-
ing has been roughly formed and hol-
lowed out, the shells are subjected to
what is known as "heat treatment"
by which the steel is brought to the
correct hardness. To make doubly
sure, the shells are tested In a Brinell
ball-testing machine.
This machine tests the hardness Of
the shell exactly as your thumb tests
the hardness Of the apple. 1t Is fitted
with a small, hardened steel ball,
which is pressed into the shell under a
specified load. The indentation made
by the ball is measured, and if with
In certain limits, the hardness is cor
rect. If not, the ~hell must be fur

DOCTORS A BIG WAR FACTOR
Army Surgeons Cut Death Rates to a
Minimum, Disease Being ReIegat-

'oThe doctor has made this world
struggle one of the least deadly ever
fought in proportion to the numbers
engaged. The spade is mightier than
the shrapnel, the scalpel than, the
sword, the test tube than the trench
mortar. Chlorine saves more lives as

tie; the other 50 per cent was caused
by disease, epidemics and pestilence
both in the field and at home.
In the armies themselves the ratio
was six to nine deaths by disease to
one in battle or from wounds. In this
war the ratio has been sixteen deaths
In battle to one from disease.
By wiping out epidemics the doctor
has actually kept the death rate among
the civil populations of the allied coun-
tries as low as, and in some cases
lower than, it was before the war.

A band is a conspiracy among a
lot of men who own horns. One man
cannot make a band, though three
Germans can put up very fair imi-
tation. 1t takes lot of men, con-
siderable cooperation and a good
natured community to manufacture
a successful band. AS soon as an
American town is started, setter
who GYMS g coTncs begins to hunt
for settler with a baritone horn.
When he has found him they both
track down a clarinet player and
then get job for a man who can
annoy a trombone scientifically.
Shortly after this the band is or
gained and it practises twice a week
Tor three years. The citizens get no
pay for listening to this practice; but
when the band has learned how to
play piece simultaneously so that
the coroner will recognize the re-
mains it begins to charge $50 per
appearance. This is about the only
unbusinesslike situation left liz
America
Bands are very useful. It is inn
possible to run circus, political
rally, Fourth of July celebration,
Hibernian picnic or minstrel parade
without one. 1t is also impossible
to buy a very prominent citizen
with anything like sufficient express
siveness without band. Let US all
strive to live so overwhelmingly that
twenty-five men will get SO apiece
for putting on blue coats and caps
and blasting way through the It
mosDhere to the silent tomb for US.
Band music is very inspiring and
is more attractive to a small boy
than public library. high school,
a woodpile or anything but a fire.
Any horn in the band when played
by .itSclf would make crow feel

IRON HADES IN SOUTH WALES
Molten Metal Rolling Down Side OF
Invisible Wall Turns Heavens
Into Great Blaze.

The first night spent by a visitor
In South Wales, in the center Of the
great iron country, Is marked by a
wonderful impression, says the London
Daily Mail.
In the daytime the iron works seem
only an ugly cluster Of tall chimneys
and uneven roofs seen through gray
smoke. More insistent are the shrill
voices of ragged children and the hud-
ding cottages of the workmen, at
whose doors stand careworn women
with anxious eyes. And the dim noun
tains, sometimes half hidden by
sweeping transforms and sometimes a
clear greenish color, every lonely tree
on their bare sides silhouetted In a
darker hue, force themselves upon the
eye with the tragedy of their impo-
tence against the defiling hand of man.
When one stands right beneath the
tips they stand out against the sky
like monstrous caricatures of Swiss
peaks. There is something about this
place desolate and infinitely depress-
ing.
But at night when all is dark the
sky Is suddenly lit with red glare.
From the window the stranger sees a
rudy light touching the billowing
clouds and glimmerfng away to black
ness between them. He sees roofs and
chimneys standing out in startling
solidity against the flaming back
ground; the furnaces are opened, and
it is as though the lid of hell were
lifted. Then, on top of one of the
tips. but appearing as though isolated
In the sky, comes a stream Of brilliant
gold rolling down the side of the in
visible wall In molten fire.

Certainly not; 1t may be jewel

very heavy. Send for the station

''Won't you let me see it?'
"No.. / will not. Trying to cheat an
old woman cut Of her reward. Send

These two worthless having arrived.
the old lady showed her find to the
expectant crowd.

He had reached across the little
table and taken her by both hands and
was looking into her face with shining
eyes. Her eyes met his in moment
and he must have seen something of
hope and encouragement for him in
them, for he was by her side in a mo-
ment with his arm around her waist
and his cheek to hers.
The next day Miss Doane received a
call from Mrs. Sampson. who said:

The Tuna Angler.

Southern California, and Santa Cata-
lima island in particular, has produced
two game fishes pre-eminent in the an
nails Of the worlds sport, says the
American Angler. One is the leaping
tuna; the other the swordfsh. The
tuna is game for the aforementioned
athlete. The man who takes a large
one with the rod must be an athlete.
He must be ready for a continuous
round Of from one to four hours,
keyed up to the highest excitement,
as If he gives in and tries to rest the
tuna rests twice as fast.
To obtain the full enjoyment of tuna
angling the rod should be of 16 ounces,
the line No. 81 and the fish should not
weigh more than 200 pounds.

Hospital for War Boots.

The war girl is again setting new
records in factory near the east end
of London. Here, however, it is not
shells, but boots which she is turning
out. 1t is more like surgery for
boots than factory because, within
40 minutes, pair of boots from Elan
ders thick with mud and hardly
recognizable are completely restored
to strength and soundness. The boots
are scrubbed in warm water, dressed
with castor Oil, the heel and tap is
stripped off, then the outer skin of
the upper part is taken off with ma
chine invented during the war. The
sole and heel are renewed, the whole
blocked into shape and finally restain-
ed, polished and made ready for use
again in the army; all in 40 minutes.
About 300 girls are working in this
boot hospital.

brush them back. He often wondered
at Belts Inconsistencies Of herself,
her childish ways, and vague charm,
he felt, he knew and envied Max his
fair little companion.
Then, it all faded from his eyes
the spires, the red house tops, the
slender trees, as he heard Belts voice
long before she came in the open door.
isn't it too bad, mon ami, Max has
gone away for the day, but he told me
to come up and stay the whole time
with you. Aren't you glad? Think Of
1t. am to amuse you, read to you,
and If you're good perhaps I'll talk
a little-well don't look so serious.
Don't you think Max was lovely to
spare me when had just lots Of work
to do for him-so Bett talked on,
hardly seeing the strange look on his
face. For a long time she stood
watching some children In the street
playing. Then she picked up some
blossoms to throw across the room to
tease him, but he had fallen asleep. It
was only a pretended sleep to hide
from her curious young eyes, the pain,
the keenest pleasure he felt just to
watch her roaming over the room,
looking at his pictures, touching a
book here and there, with that queer
little raising of her eyebrows when
she seemed surprised-it all meant to
him what wounded his honor, weak
ened his self-respect to acknowledge
he was in love with Max's wife.
What was it Bett was saying as she
turned from the window-he hadn't
been listening-she was talking OF
Maryland, her mother and father, the
war, her little sister at school and Max
(of course he acknowledgement, brave,
strong Max, whom she loved with all
her heart, who had come across the
ocean to put his talents to better use
to return sometime, somewhat richer
to keep the little Maryland home. Her
brother? Gould she have said that?
She and her brotherhood, how had he
mistaken all this time; why hadn't he
asked-what made him imagine them
to be husband and wife, neither of
them ever said SO!
Bett was standing again by the win-
dow, leaning her head on two hands
high on the sash. Tired Of staying in-
doors she was wishing Max would
come back. Looking out over the city,
looking, but seeing nothing. She
turned YEARLY to find her invalid
standing beside her, his honest grey
eyes looking straight into her soul,
and as she looked back her eyes fell
for she knew.

he slips away from the worlf of grown

that he wishes to escape, but from
