" .:%K v ft'i" * Charge for Winding: a Wafcli. During hard times, when some people are compelled to borrow money at ft rate of interest that amounts to 1,1 nsury, stories of close and stingy men are numerous, but the 6tory of the champion stingy man comes from a D: iWest Seattle individual. The West Seattle man was obliged to pawn his watch, a fine, solid gold time-piece, which he prized highly. lie placed it in the hands of a well-known five per cent, man as security for a small loan, 1 to be redeemed in thirty days. In closing tho deal the man requested that the watch be wound every day and kept running, and to this the yc other man agreed. "When the thirty days were up tho ^ West Seattle man came around with j the principal and interest and demanded the watch, but the five per cent man counted out the money and said that it was phort. "How's that?" demanded the bor- ^ rower, angTily. "W?well, yon wanted the watch ^ kept wound up, didn't you?" protest- ?fl ed the f-ellow with an in jured air.

SXTOXVILLE HAS SHELTERED MANY NOTORIOUS CROOKS. lily Routine and Labor of tho Convicts?Always Employed, Even If Tliey But Turn a Crank. rHERE is a vast and complicated system of prisons in England, where persons amenable to the laws are conled. English law, says the Xew >rk Journal, is peculiar in that it aches a result quicker than out in e United States. A man in the itches of the English law gets his atence and begins His time 01 punlment quicker than in America, it at the same time there may be ken into consideration the old saw at quick haste makes less speed, lglish law gives penalties for someing like five subdivisions of crime, pital oEfenses are punished by hangg inside of prison walls. Next in ie comes the crimes for which penal rvitude from five to life-long years the penalty. Then comes the mberleea offenses, for which the nishment is imprisonment, with or thont hard labor. This latter imisonment is usually applied for all enses which. are punishable with prisonment when the sentence is t punishable with penal servitude, ntences of this kind aTe usually ren irom one moniu xo ieu jmn. Dnej lines for misdemeanors, whicb e served out in jails, make another bdivision. When comes the quesm of the confinement of prisoners >m one to five years in Houses of rrcction. England and Wales together have ly-seven prisons, while Scotland ings up the rear with fourteen, iking a grand total of seventy-one stitutions. In addition, there are e local prisons, or penal institution?, the city of London, which will ell this list still higher. Early in English history every class criminal was huddled together ich the same way as in vogue in the erage State Prison in America. But 1823 the English took a step which aerica might well follow. They deled to separate prisoners into tsses. It gives a sort of criminal arantine, and stops the spread of :ious infection which is bound to me when the morally dead associate th the beginner in crime. Of all the prisons, the most famous >m the fast that it has sheltered >re than the usual number of fajus crooks -within its walls, is Pennville PrisoD, or, as it is better own, the "Model" prison of all lgland. Within it is now confined car Wilde, poet, playwright and Ion, and it is now, for that reason )ne, a curiosity in the criminal >rld. It is, further, a fair sample the average English prison. Pentonville Prison is a series of ildings walled all around with inae asylum-like windows. Entrance gained through a portcullis gate iy, with a square porcb flanfcea witu a square clock tower. Itjrequires a )vernment order to inspect the pris, but anyone interested in tbe continent of convicts has no trouble in ining tbe necessary permit at tbe jme Office of tbe English Prison ?partment at Whitehall, S. W. Possibly tbe first thing that strikes e mind of the visitor is the exquisi cleanliness of the prison. In the inty private home oi a New York >man of fashion no more attention paid to cleanliness than in Pentonle. All the floors in the institution 3 of cut stone highly polished, and of the walks are of carefully kept eet asphalt. Unlike American isons, there is no trace of that irison smell" which is the first ought that strikes the visitor to an ititution where convicts are punled in the land of the free.

The prison interior is divided into ar long corridors, which radiate >m a center like ribs in a woman's i. All of the corridors are stone ved and are well lighted by glass in e arches of the roof.

XI ).e A Big: Meteorite in Mexico. r l(j A New York Times writer has had a look at 6ome big meteorites which , Q have fallen in Mexico. Most of these * t' meteorites are preserved in the muag seum of the School of Mines in the 8 of ~~~ r 1 THE SAN GREG0EI0 METEORITE. I City of Mexico, or are represented by ? full size modelp. Similar models of - the Inrcrer masses were exhibited by i Professor A. A. Ward, of Rochester, \ N. Y., in the Mining Building of the World's Columbian Exposition at Chi| capo. The claim to being notable a will be demonstrated by a recitation 1 of the dimensions and weights of I some of the prominent meteorites. | A visitor to the National School of I Mines in the City of Mexico will not tice on either side of the portal leadi ing to tbe commodious courtyard two I large, irregular masses, resembling in | shape the result of a "boil" at a blast P, furnace casting bed, or a leak between | the cope and the drag of a large cast5 ing. The brown, rusty color of these j masses gives the impression that they I are specimens of brown hematite iron * ore, but at the few points where the 1 structure has been exposed by chipM ninrr ond fllinfr a mofallift lnof.rp with N iJ1"o """ - ? 5 striations common to meteoric iron, | demonstrated the origin of these i monster specimens. The principal average dimensions of the two pieces \ are: ^ Length. Width. I} a. 7 feet. 3 feet 7 inches. b. 8 feet 2 inches. 6 feet 7 Inches. 1 Thickness. Weight. a. 1 foot 8 inches. 20,450 pounds. b. 1 foot 4 inches. 34,100 pounds. | The irregularity of form will not be appreciated from the sizes given, and the total weight?54,850 pounds, or nearly twenty-five gross tons?there being a number of trolibite depresf sions or pot holes on the surface3. The density is given as 7.8. The form of these two pieces also indicates that they were originally parts of one great mass recognized as _ the Chupadero3 Meteorite, which after more than four centuries was in r' 1893 conveyed over 900 miles to the 16 City of Mexico. The two pieces were 13 found about SOD feet apart. < l" Another notable meteorite, that of , San Gregorio, which may be consid? oi-od a TiVal r>f flip unpcimfind dpsfirihfld. 10 is approximately conical in form, av|r erasing four feet in diameter at the ? ;e base and forty inches in height. The e ,0 density was found to be 7.74 and the 1 calculated weight 37,920 pounds. This 1 ie mass is also to fcrm a feature of the ? collection of the Mexican Geological fc L Survey, which occupies the large ? building (a former palace) in connec- ? 01 tion with the School of Mines.

Plans lor Suppressing Mosquitoes. Not lone ago Eobert H. Lamborn, if New York, offered a prize for i practicable method of suppressing Qo?quitoes. Hundreds of suggestion ?ere offered, the most notable being o the effect that dragon flies should >e artificially bred for the purpose. I'his idea, though not lacking in nov> Ity and picturesqueness, was nol Itemed acceptable, simply because il ould not be carried out on a scale suf iciently extensive. Dragon flics, mder natural conditions kill a great nauy mosquitoe?, but to multiply heir species to any great extent would iot bo possible, partly on account o: :he manner of their development, rhey cannot be reared in a box lik< ulkworms. The larvae of the insect! ire ugly-looking worms, known com Donly as "helgrammites,". whicl rawl about in the muddy bottoms oi Donds. Another odd suggestion offered tc tfr. Lamborn was that spiders shoulc >e employed in the war againsl nosquitoes. Some time previously, lowever, Mr. L. 0. Howard, who has lince become United States Etomolofist, had devised and experimented vitli a method which proved to have nuch practical usefulness?namely, :o pour oil on the surface of watere hat propagate mosquitoes. A emal juantity of kerosene employed in thii nanner will go a long way. If there s a stagnant pond or overflowed narsh in your vicinity, you canno nvest money more profitably thii summer than to buy some keroseim md apply it. The process is ver simple, the oil spreading itself far am wide in an extremely thin film. Fiv gallons, costing sixty cents, will cove 10,000 square feet. A single applicn tion will suffice for the season, and wi] absolutely prevent the production o mosquitoes over the area treated. Thi coating of oil quickly suffocates ant kills all wrigglers. This system migh be adopted most profitably in th< neighborhood of some resorts.?Bos ton Transcript. Cliimps on Londou 'Change.
