The "twister" of 1852 Is thus de-

"There arose a great pillar Of smoke.

Dogs Seldom Mad

When dogs bite people in the sum
mer time, they're seldom mad" ex-
cept in the sense In which normal hui
man beings often get mad. They're
surly and grouchy, perhaps, because
they are affected by the heat like hui
man folk, and have less ability to help
themselves.
Suppose, on hot, sultry day, when
you were fairly stewing in the heat,
and the files were biting you, you
couldn't nnd q cool spot to lie down
and, worse than that, couldn't find a
bit of cool water to drink. And sup
pose every person you approached
hopefully was surly and lll-natured and
gave you kick or an ugly look In
stead Of something to moderate the

Cricket Held in High
Importance in Gina

In Shanghai the public parks, the
gardens and the trees of the cathedral
yard, In the center Of the business dis
trict, are the hunting grounds of hum
dreds Of Chinese coolies and boys The
quarry Is the green cricket. To the
Chinese chirping cricket Is a symbol
of good luck And crlckets swarm on
all the trees In the International set
Element and their noise rises above
even that Of the traffic Boys climb the
trees, pick Off the crickets, put them
Into small basketllke cages and then
go through the streets selling them for
a copper or two each. One cricket or
more are to be found In almost every
native home, where they chirp and
trill all day and all night. The noise
Of cricket is to Chinese the height
Of musical excellence plus the added
virtue Of good luck. If oil the multi
farious noises of the noisy city of
Shanghai were boiled down into one,
the song Of the cricket would drown
them. No opera singer could capture
half the rapturous interest that the
cricket is getting from the Chinese to-
day.

Meals for SponRes

One of the hardest things to believe
is that the sponge you use daily was
once an animal, and not vegetable
growth of the ocean. Sponges live
their own lives, and eat their own food
as other animals do.
The separate existence of sponge
begins with the breaking away from
the parent of tiny particle The
latter, after being whlrled about for
time by tides and currents, eventual
ly attaches Itself to piece Of rock,
and from that home II seeks Its own
livelihood.
The food Of infant sp0nges consists
of yelk cells, which contain form Of
n0urlshment. Later, as the sponge
grows, 1t requires something more
solid. and this Is brought by the cur
rents, which sweep into bag-half

comrade, and. convinced that this was
no false alarm, rushed into the engine
house. A moment later the street be-
low resounded with the rumble of
trucks, the whang Of gongs, and the
rush of the surging crowd. In this
focal point of cosmopolitan New York,
where a quarter Of o million people
are located within a stones throw Of
common center, the elements Of a
stirring scene are always at hand. At
the sound of the alarm, Cinnamon
erept from their basement hunks in
Mott street-reeking with opium and
dazed by the noise; long-halred He
brews tumbled into the alley from
their sweat shops; swarthy Italians
came pell-mell from their novels; and
the Arab lost his fez, which, In the
surging crowd, was trampled under
foot. By the time that the engines
and hook-and-ladder company reached
the alley they found 1t damned with a
mass Of excited humanity, whose eyes
were focused upon tiny white bundle
that swayed in mid-air, 20 feet above
the pavement. At once the fremen
realized that they had been duped;
but the necessity for effort did not
escape them. Up shot the great lad
ders, one above another, and then an
agile rescuer began the swift ascent.
The crowd cheered in babel of
tongues; but as the climber reached
the last few rounds, and began creep
ing out over the slender threads
toward the precious prize, hush fell
upon the multitude. Now he was al
most there-now he stood directly
under the dangling mite--now he put
forth his hand with EXTREMIST caution.
The crowd stood on tiptoe. Not soul
breathed. Then, just as the strong
hand touched the hem of the little
frock, the child began struggling once
more, this time SO violently that, in
the very moment Of apparent safety,
1t slipped from the moose and fell.
In that moment even the hardened
faces Of the multitude below, accus-
toned to sights Of all degrees Of dan
ger and wickedness, blanched with ter
ror; eyes bleared by drink or opium
were shudderingly averted from the
awful scene that seemed Inevitable.
Meantime the tiny bundle of humanity,
in its wild plunge downward, struck a
rope stretched across the alley hang
ing full of wet clothes. The strand
broke with the strain, and the child
was lost in the flying mass Of
white. A few stray rags fluttered
down-but the baby 1t had dlsap-
peared like wrath. Strong arms out
stretched to make desperate effort
to catch the flying waif fell helpless
at many a side. The vast crowd stood
speeches., dumfounded.
An instant later a deaf old Irish
woman In the second-story tenement
looked up from her work and gave a
shrill cry Of surprise as she saw crawl
Ing through the window that led from
the 1re-esesre where she had just laid
her feather-bed to air. an almost naked
child with scarlet bars around it's
little body. by all the saints to-
getherl" she cried, dropping on her
knees, "if thot kid didn't rain down
from heaven OIL niver say another

And 1t took the combined eloquence
of Shingles and his distracted mother
to convince the old lady Of the child's
earthly origin.

Hard to Cope With
Fire Bevond Reach

In score Of different places In
these islands underground fires are
smoldering. Some have been alight for
many years and are fair limitations of
volcanoes on a small scale. The fuel
IN most cases is coal.
A pit between Ayr and Girvan
caught fire in 1847 and was still burn
ing at the beginning Of the present
century. "The Streaming Bug" the
country folk call 1t.
Landore, an important junction sta
ton near Swansea, was for some time
rendered useless by an underground
fire said to be burning in old chemical
and metal refuse. The platforms were
hot and the whole place was poisoned
by fumes. The town Of Dudley has
suffered severely from slow burning
going on deep beneath Its foundations,
which at one time threw out fumes Of
deadly gas, half-polsoning many peo-
pie.
II is easy to understand coal catch
ing fire, but more difficult to cOmpre-
bend land blazing up. Yet this phe-
nomenon happens quite frequently.
Some years ago there was remark
able outbreak at Halsall Moss, near
Birkdale. A potato farmer piled I'M
slaked lime on one of his fields and
set fire TO the peaty soil that had been
rendered bone-dry by a month Of sun
shine. A wind got up and soon three
acres we're ablaze, the fire biting deep
into the ground.
Two years ago there was a similar
outbreak near Shrewsbury. The burn
ing OF pile of brushwood started II.
The fire caught into the roots of
great tree and FIVE weeks later the tree
crashed down. Then the whole earth
was found to be afire, and the fire
