Rtw Mme. Albont Frnitrat?4 I Scheme to Hlas Her. "Onoe upon a time, when Mme. Albonf was at Trieste," writes Henry C. LahM la 41 TTomnna Qlnrnmi r\f Trvlov " "iKa WM Informed of the existence of a plot to hlsi her off the stage. Having ascertained tht names of her detractors and where they were to be found, she donned male attire, lo which her short hair and robust figure helped to oomplete her disguise, and went to the cafe at which the conspirators met Here she found them in full consultation, and taking a seat at a table she listened to their conversation for a time. After awhile she addressed the leador, saying: "I hear that you Intend to play a trick upon Bomo one. I am very fond of a little practical joke myself and should b? glad if you would allow me to join yoa on this occasion." "'With pleasure,' was the reply. 4Ws Intend to hiss an opera singer off the stage this evening.' 44 'Indood! And of what is she guilty?' 44 4 Oh, nothing, exoept that, being an Italian, she has sung in Munich and Yi* enna to German audiences, and we think she ought to reoelve some oaetigation foi her unnatriotio conduct.' " 'I agree with you, and now please tell me what I am to do.' " 'Take this whistle,' said the leader. 'At a signal to be given at the conclusion ft the air sung by Rosina the noise will oegin, and you will have to join in.' "'I shall be very glad to do bo,'said the singer and put the whistle in he* pockot "In the evening the house was packed ?every seat was occupied?and the audience warmly applauded the opening numbers of the opera. In due coursa Mmo. Albonl appeared, and at the point at which she was about to address he* tutor a few of the conspirators. began to make a dlsturl>ance, not waiting for ths tignal. "Without showing anyconoem, Mme. Alboni walked down to the footlights, And* holding up the whistle, which wa< hung to her neck by a ribbon, she ex* claimed: 'Qentlemen, are you not a llttls before your time? I thought we were not to commence whistling until I had sang toe air. "For a moment a deathly stillness prevailed; then suddenly the house broke Into thunders of applause, which was led by the oonspixators themselves." A SEAMLESS TUBE. There Are Three Operatlem* fey Which It Hay Be Made. Henry Souther said at a recent meeting of the National Association of Meohanical Engineers that the scientido and technical designation of a tube, whether seamed of seamless, depended solely upon the tubs itself and not upon the process followed In its manufacture. Referring to the die* tlonary you will find that the word "seam? less" means without seam, which conveys no light upon the subject. Turning to ths word "seam," it is found that it is defined as a joint, suture, or line or onion, na new in the last term we And the key. A tube jointed in any way cannot be se&mlooa. If in the primary stages of its manufacture it be lap, butt or look jointed, it cannot by any subsequent operation be deprived of the seam and therefore cannot be con* sldered when completed as being Beaxnlees. A strictly seamless tube may be mads by any one of three operations?first, billet may be by successive steps punched into the form of a tube with extremely thick sides, and these may then by the ordinary drawing processes be reduced to ? tube with thin walls; next, the billet may be bored or the blank may be cast with ? hole in it and in either case then drawn to the required dimensions; thirdly, the tube may be made by the cupping prooess, which oonsists in taking a disk of tha metal, forming it into a cup shape, gradually elongating the cup and reducing it in diameter and finally by this tthw.it producing a tube. Each and all of these processes yield a tube which is absolutely seamless and -1 VJ?V ?? n.n Kq Tin dUUUU W1X1V-X1 lUOiU AO uuu MV MW ~ pute. In all tubes formed with a seam the edges have first been separated, then united, either by lap or butt weld or by some lock joint system, and in these the joint cannot be eliminated by any aftef processes. T?o custom houses of th* United States recognize the differenoe between a seam and a seamless tube. A seamless tube is one in which the wall! have never been separated from the timi the metal was in a molten condition to thf time of the completion of the tube.?Iroi Age. pankiag CoiTlets. When oonvicts in the Colorado stats prison become unruly, instead of being oonflned to bread and water solitary confinement they are spanked, the Instrument used being a paddle a little man than 2 feet long, 8 inches wide and weighing 15K ounces. According to the chief of the institution, this method is entirely satisfactory and is free from the pernlcioui effects that often follow the ordinary treatment. "During the spanking prooeas," aayf the warden, "the prisoner has no time to brood?to store away in his mind vloioul thoughts and grow mentally one sided al he grows physically weaker, for all of hii time and thoughts are concentrated into one spot for a minute or two, and when it If over he goes back to his work_none ths worse (or the treatment."?San jrranouoo Argonaut.

MCUUAR ENGLISH SPELLING. >Mt Difficult ( All Systems tm A? quire Except the Chinese. English spelling is the most unsystematic and therefore the most difficult of all ystems to acquire, except the Chinese, 'he French has not a complete alphabet o represent all its sounds in a simple and ystematlo manner, but the French uss ho incomplete and defective Roman al habot much more consistently than we.

The sounds of the spoken language hould be represented by the simplest, nost complete and most logical system, rhere are in English 40 distinct sounds; i0 distinct letters are needed to represent hem. With such a system the intermlna)le difficulty of learning to spell would lisappear, the time spent in printing and writing unnecessary letters would be saved ind the learning of the language by ohilLren and foreigners would be greatly faiilltated. There is no valid objection to jhonetic spelling except the difficulty of ntroddclng it. The etymological objeoiion is unworthy of serious consideration. The etymology, for example, of "sophsm" (which, by the way, does not import i wise saying) resides in the real word, lot in Its spelling. Any one who knowa ihe history of the word would associate ihat history with it, however it might be ipelled. The Philological association farors phonetio spelling. It is, of course, mpossible to make so radical a change at >nce, but it does not follow that the beneIts of phonetio spelling, the metrlo system >r any other great improvement will come ? us in the surest and best way by simply eaving the matter to chance.
