 Mir. Bowser hung on to his SIS and passed on to the next. The third widow was ready to say to him:

 What Mir. Bowser did was to turn away and take his road home He felt to pity, but not exactly $50 worth, with the rent of the stable added to that. As he entered the house and sat down, Mrs. Bowser raised her eye brows, as if asking a question, and he replied:

Tn the Dublin museum a stuffed angler fish, commonly known ss a ffsl,- ing frog, may be seen, its stomach stfll swollen by m enormous cod which 1t had swallowed In the stomach of the cod were found two large herrlngs. In each herring were several sprats, while each sprat. in turn, contained q numser of tiny crustaceans, or shell fish.

HOW HAlLST0NES ARE FORMED
According to Theory, Electrical Action is Responsible for Storms That
 Frequently Do Damage.

The formation of hail through cleo trical action, according to one theory. is an interesting and even wonderful process. The wind draws out a cloud into long, narrow strip. In that form, owing to the great amount of surface exposed to the air, the cloud evaporates rapidly, producing intense cold
 Dry particles of snow are then form ed, and these, by friction with the wa ter drops, quickly become charged with negative electricity. But the water drops carry positive electricity, and since negative attracts positive film of water Is formed upon each snow particle and is instantly frozen into n layer of thin ice.
 At this thickness it's outer surface remains moist, the water not freezing so rapidly there whereupon the eiec- trical charge changes from negative to positive and the particle is repelled by the water drops and driven to the outer parts of the cloud. Here the in- creased cold covers it with snow, and friction charges 1t anew with negative electricity.
 Repulsion Is now once more changed for attraction. and the particle rushes back into the cloud, receiving upon it's surface another film of water, which b turned into second ice layer.
 Thus the growing hailstone darts zig-zag through the cloud, piling up it's alternate layers of snow and ice, until gravitation gains control and sends 1t with a jingling crowd of its fellows spinning to the ground.

RADIO SEARCHES SEA
FOR MISSING LINER
Callao, From Buenos Aires
With go Passengers, Overdue,
With No Word by Wireless.

For two days officials of the Munson
Line here have been unable to establish
radio communication with the liner Cal
lao, bound here from Buenos Aires and
Rio dc Janeiro with sixty passengers.
The liner was due yesterday, having left
Rio on June 20.
NO uneasiness was expressed by any
one connected with the line, as il was
explained that possible atmospheric con-
ditions such as static" or disabling OF
the liners wireless would account for
her silence. There have been no storms
along the Callao's path.
The Naval Communication Service
here has heard nothing from the liner
since she left Rio. radio has been
sent to all ships at sea asking for i7fcr-
nation. The callao. formerly German
liner. was taken over by Peru during the
war and later acquired by the Shipping
Board, which passed II on to the Mum
son line to operate. She is OF 5000 tons.
A report was received here yesterday
by the company that Elisha Diamond.
second officer OF the liner Munaibro,
now at Boston. said that while the
ship was heading for that port from
Baltimore. OH the morning of June 30, at
:45. he saw peculiar looking ship of
fast speed, carrying no side lights,
which came within a half mile of the
liner and stopped her engines. as IL to
size her up
After looking over the Callao the ship
turned and steamed away. According
to dispatches from Boston. the encoun-
ter took place eighty-three miles west
southwest of Nantucket light and be-
tween seventy-five and 100 miles south
east of New York. Diamond said he
thought her actions peculiar. Capt
Giles of the liner reported the incident
to the liners agents at Baltimore.

after Gen. SHUTS, with Sir Henry Will
son, chief OF the Imperial General Staff,
called on King George to-day the Off
cial atmosphere was stiil optimistic
about there being settlement in sight.
That optimism revolves about the
point that there will be a truce pending
negotiations. II is still emphatically
stated in official quarters that no step
has yet been taken beyond talking over
arran angements for a truce. That talk.
however, has gone far enough to war
rant the statement that both sides have
now practically agreed upon the neces-
sity for g. truce, and, furthermore, that
it shall be implicit rather than for
NAL explicit cessation of hostilities. The
determination virtually was arrived at
tonight that there will be formal or
ders from either side for a cessation OF
hostilities.
Neither side wants the negotiations
broken off by the untoward acts of irre-
sponsibe persons, which might be called
acts of bad faith on the part of the
actual negotiators. Hence II Is about
settled that while the truce will be made
