SULTAN HAD WRONG TITLE
Al Raschid the Just Could Listen to
Complaint of Outraged Widow
Without Feeling.

The title to the name of Al Raschid
the Just is sullied by his extirpati0n
of the generous, perhaps the innocent,
Bermecides. Yet he could listen to
the complaint of a poor widow who
had been pillaged by his troops, who
dared. from a passage in the Koran,
to threaten the inattentive despot with
the judgment Of God and posterity.
Al Raschid was the third sultan OF
the line of Ambascides. He was
contemporary Of Charlemagne, to
whom he sent an embassy with q
present of a famous clock, which,
when put in motion by means of a
clepsydra, pointed out the hours,
struck them by dropping little balls
on a bell or drums, and caused little
doors to open, and a number Of knights
on horseback to come out as cor
responded with the hours. He was
last of the caliphs who made a pill
grimage to Mecca, and he visited the
prophets shrine eight different times.
He reigned A. D. $50 to S05.
The meaning of the word caliph Is
successor or vicar" indicating the
claims of the sultan to be the sue
cessor of Mohammed, and hence, In a
more exalted sense, the vicar of God.

LOCATES FIRES ON SHIPS
Smoke Detector, invented by Briton,
Used TO Find Flames Before
They Become Dangerous.

An ingenious device for detecting
and locating fires on ships at sea is
embodied In the Rich smoke detector,
an English invention.
Pipes, communicating with all parts
of the vessel, are led into glass
inclosed chamber in which a vacuum
pump is constantly at work, thus draw
Ing air from every part reached by the
pipes. Should fire start at any
point, the smoke is drawn into the
chamber; beam of light crosses
above the pipes, against which the
smoke is plainly visible.
The pipes are numbered. so that the
observer knows instantly where the
fire is by noting from which pipe the
smoke energies. Below the vacuum
chamber IS system of levers which
control three-way valves; each lever
controls a valve feeding part Of the
ship corresponding to the numbering
of the pipes. BY pulling lever steam
Is forced into the part which is burn
ing, effectually Quenching the blaze
before 1t reaches dangerous proper
tions.
When ships are heavily loaded 1t is
often difficult to get at fire, and fire.
quently the flames get under full head
way before they are discovered. With
the use of the Rich detector a blaze
can be put out literally before 1t
starts.-Kansas City Star.

The Opposite.

The teacher had spent two solid
hours giving the class lesson in Eng
fish grammar. The particular point
she wished to impress upon her pupils
on this occasion was that of words
and their opposites.
She gave them numerous examples
and then thought she would apply a
little test to see If they understood
what she had been talking about.
Now, tell me-" she began, what Is
the opposite Of misery?"
Happiness !" said the class In uni
son.
"And sadness?" she asked.
"Gladness I" came the answering
chorus, and the teacher smiled as she
saw what good fruit the lesson had
borne
''And the opposite of woe?" she
asked, as the bell rang to signal din
ner time.
"Gee-up!" responded the enthusiast
tic class.-Kansas City Times.

 I longed with poignant longing to know the true inwardness of my sis. ter's affair. But no one was cognizant of my interest in or knowledge of what was going on. Mother had chided Elaine and had overheard. But the relationship between mother and me was not such as would let me give ex- precision to my desire to know more of Elaine's quasi.love affairs.
 Often l felt like telling mother l would leave home; would go away and earn my own living or something. Any. thing would be better than being cared for on sufferance. But whenever I pro. posed it, not boldly, but feeling around, sort of leading up to it, mother would accuse me of wanting to disgrace her.

 I still, occasionally, went to the boy and-girl parties, although I was now nineteen. At one of these dances met Manville Hyde. He was visiting the home of the hostess, the mother of a girl friend. At the ball I had danced twice with him: this square-chinned man, with the cold, hard eyes, whose name I had scarcely caught and who impressed me as anwho would make a good fighter. H& appeared to be about thirty years old, but because of his determined sort of face, looked older. When mother asked me about the party told her of him. She asked:
