Schedule Qot Twisted.?That fate often
ordains differently was demonstrated
by a story told by Gov. Ellas
M. Ammons of Colorado, while on a
recent trip through the east.
Some time since, so narrated the
governor. Smith roturned to his home
town in the west after a short absence,
and while walking down the street ran
across his friend Jones. Glad greeting
and then some conversation.
"What In the world is the matter
with Brown?" asicea smun, surrins up
the ice in the aforesaid greeting; "1
saw him on the opposite side of the
highway a few minutes ago, and he
looked as gloomy as a candidate who
had run on the wrong ticket
"He failed in business," answered
Smith. "I thought you knew all about
It"
"I knew that he had failed," respond
ed Smith, "but I heard that he had everything
made over in his wife's name
before the cyclone hit him."
"So he did," rejoined Jones, "and
then his wife eloped with the principal
creditor."?Philadelphia Telegraph.
A Learned Verdict?The railroad
train was rather dimly lit and one of
the passengers, after having tried in
vain to inspect his face in the washroom
mirror, turned to Rastus, the
presiding genius of the Pullman car.
"8ee here, Rastus," he said, "I want
your opinion in a matter of importance.
Just come with me over to the
window, and after having carefully inspected
my face, teil me whether or
not you think I need a shave."
The old darky complied with his request
and Immediately rendered judgment.
"Waal, suh," he said, with his head
cocked to one side, "in respect to de
shave, sah, ah should say that it all depends
on what yo' Intend doln' with yo'
chin, suh. Ef yo're jest gwlne off dis
yere train to use yo' chin to' talkln' yo'
don't need no shavin' at all, suh, but ef
yo're gwine a-courtin' yo' best gal, suh,
ah sorter think ah'd remove some o'
dem splintahs from yo* chin an' yo'
cheek befo' dey done scratch somebody,
suh."?Harper's Weekly.
, Finds Was Ksaps.?William M.
Wood, the head of the woolen trust, said
in Boston, apropos of the new tariff:
'It listens good, as the slang phrase
goes, but will it listen good to the very
end? Won't the end be a dismal surprise,
like the taJe of the lost coat?
"A country minister, driving to
church with his new overcoat on the
seat beside him, lost the coat en route,
and announced his loss from the pulpit.
" 'Dearly beloved,' he said, 'I met
with a sad loss this morning. Somewhere
on the river road, while driving
to church, I lost my line, new, sllk-llned
overcoat If any of you find it I
hope you'll bring It to the parsonage.
" It's found, doctor,' said a voice
from the back of the church.

you!'1 said the minister, beaming on
the speaker gratefully.
" It's found, sir,* continued the voice.

Journal.
A Puzzled Celt?A class in a certain
art school was recently startled by the
sudden appearance In its midst of a
ragged Irishman, who, with tears In his
eyes, begged for enough money to get
him a "bite." The first Impulse of the
presiding genius was to request him to
move on; but his picturesqueness suggested
that he should be given a
chance to earn his supper by sitting as
a model.
"Sit down," said the instructor, kindly.
"If you permit these ladles to paint
you, we will pay you a shilling. What
do you say?"
"Av oi'll let 'm wha-at?" replied the
beggar, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Paint you?paint you. It won't take
very long."
"Bed&d, Ol want th' shillln' bad

reflection. "An' 01*11 be very gla-ad t'

Sorry He Spoke.?Capt. M'tweed, a
Scotsman to the backbone, and, moreover,
a distinguished officer In a distinguished
Highland regiment, had an
unbounded admiration for his countrymen,
and never lost an opportunity of
extolling their virtues.
One evening at mess he was entertaining
several guests, and at the conclusion
of the meal, as he and his party
were leaving the room, he happened to
notice a magnificent specimen of a piper,
clad in full Highland costume,
standing by the doorway.
Wishing to draw attention to the
man's splendid proportions, he stopped
and:
"From what part of Scotland do you
come?" he inquired.
"Tipperary, sor!" replied the man
with a punctilious salute.?Kansas City

capital he was explaining in o
jocular manner that an extra sessior

Congress reminded him, he said, ol

THE WONDERFUL 8UBMARINE
Interior of Dreaded Croft Presents
Much Intarcat.
Few people who stand on a pier at
the Charleston navy yard or view the
passing of the craft about the harbor,
have any knowledge of what the Interior
of a submarine is like. Compara
tlvely few have ever been aboard of
one of these much dreaded vessels of
war time which sink below the surface,
slip upon the enemy and then launch a
torpedo into its side. The interior differs
entirely from the view that the
average person forms of a submarine
and the craft is really one of the most
interesting of the fleet of war vessels.
Climbing down ten rungs of an iron
ladder into the interior of a submarine
is like going into a boiier shop where
there is one continuous, deafening, ear
splitting racket like a dozen trip hammers
chattering a tatoo amid a grind
and rumble and thump of machinery as
if especially designed to burst your
eardrums.
At first the noise in that narrowly
confined place is painful and bewildering.
To make yourself at all heard
you must shout into the ear of a companion.
So Intense is the strain, says
a writer in St. Nicholas, that you marvel
how day in and day out human ears
? ? ?ukoianH the nrriftnl

You And yourself inside what seems
an enormous steel cigar painted a neat
pearl gray, a color which is serviceable
and does not da-zzle the eye.
Iilght comes to you partly through
portholes and in part from incandescent
lamps placed fore and aft in the
darker parts of the hull.
You have expected, of course, to land
in a tangle of whirling machinery that
Alls the inside of the boat from stem
to stern, threatening with every revolution
to take an arm or a leg off. Instead
the flrat thing you see is an uninterrupted
"working space," or deck,
measuring 7 by 26 or 30 feet.
At the stern, far in the background,
are the machines and engines. In fact,
this section of the vessel is nothing but
machinery, a rumbling mass of silvery
t??i and flittering brass, revolving at
the rate of 500 times a minute, so compact
that you wonder how the various
parts can turn without conflicting or
how it is possible for human hands to
squeeze through the maze to oil the
machinery.
But this economy of space is as nothing
to what you will see. The floor you
stand on is a cover for the cells of the
storage batteries wherein is pent up
the electricity with which your boat
will propel herself when she runs submerged.
The walls amidships and the
space in the bow are gigantic ballast
tanks to be filled with water.
The four torpedoes, measuring sixteen
feet three inches long, eighteen
Inches in diameter and weighing 1,500
pounds each, are lashed end for end in
pairs at either side, and directly over
these are tool boxes and hinged bunks
for the crew to sleep in.
The very air which is taken along: to
keep life In you In case the boat should
be detained beneath the surface longer
than usual, is compressed in a steel
cylinder 2,000 pounds per square inch,
a pressure so intense that were the cylinder
to spring a leak no larger than a
pin hole and were the tiny stream of
escaping air to strike a human being it
would penetrate him through and
through and drill a hole through an
inch thick board behind him.
And yet everything about the interior
arrangements of this boat is so simple
that you can see at a glance Its
purpose. Away forward, where the tip
of the cigar comes to a point, are the
two torpedo tubes out of which the
gunner will send his deadly projectiles
seething beneath the waters at the rate
of thirty-five knots an hour against an
unsuspecting hull.
Directly under the conning tower is
a platform, three feet square and elevated
three feet from the deck, uflon
which the captain stands, head and
shoulders extending into the tower, so
that while at his post he is visible to
the crew only from the waist line down
and at the feet of the captain and on a
level with his platform is stationed
another of the offlcere, m cnarge 01 me
wheel that controls the diving rudders
and the gauges that register the angle
of ascent and decline and show how
deep the boat is down.
The two officers are in personal communication,
so that in case of heart
disease or other mishap either can
jump to the other man's place.
WHERE CYCLONES ARE BORN
Cradle of the American Tornado is Located
at Yuma, Arizona.
science nas ai last piaceu ub uugci
upon the exact birthplace of the cyclones,
which from time to time work
devastation through the west. Accordping
to Dr. Bmll Schlldenkrantz, an
eminent German meteorologist, who
has been visiting this country, the cradle
of the cyclone lies in the town of
Yuma, Ariz. There is born and nurtured
the whirling tornado?the deadliest
type of destructive winds, a verl^
table dancing dervish of the gales.
, Yuma lies one hundred and thirtyeight
miles east of Denver, In the foot1
hills of the Rocky Mountains. Its altitude
is 4,100 feet.
It is generally agreed among the
' weather experts that the destructive
! whirling winds are caused by a funnelshaped
cloud, that whirls about with
1 tremendous force in the manner of a
1 summer resort merry-go-round.
r As soon as this vacuum forms, the
air rushes in to fill it, because, as the
1 text books say, nature abhors a vacuum.
The air is then apt to swirl about
' In a circle or spiral, which results in
a twisting wind, or cyclone.
Bearing these things In mind, Dr.
Schlldenkrantz determined to locate
the spot where natural conditions
) made the formation of vacuums most
likely. He studied the trail of the recent
cyclone that swept through North
Kansas and expended its chief fury on
1 the city of Omaha, and followed it in
1 its mysterious beginning in Colorado.
r He was not satisfied until he came to
' Yuma, the little town on the eastern
: slope of the Great Divide.
Careful study of the environment of
* this town soon convinced the scientist
that his task was completed?he had
3 found the cradle of the cyclone.
Dr. Schildenkrantz gives two reasons
* for his contention that Yuma was the
e birth-place of the recent cyclone, and
was probably responsible for many
previous ones,
r In the first place, he observed that
r the climate had sharp alterations of
- heat and cold. This is but one condition
making directly for the creation of
s vacuums in the air. The days are iny
tensely warm in summer. Dast month
for instance, the thermometer climbed
everal times to 108 degrees. Tet the
nights were always cool. Sometimes
they were so cold that the townspeople
found it necessary to close the doors
and windows and to build fires in the
stoves and fireplaces.
In the second place, the soil at Yuma
Is covered with the short, crisp, curling
grass named after the buffalo, because
it resembles the hair of his coat.
Like the buffalo, buffalo grass Is becoming
extinct, but In and about Yuma
it still stows in profuse quantities. This
grass, curling1 close to the earth, the
scientist avers, reflects the heat more
strongly thah any other natural medium.
Dr. Schlldenkrantz says the dreaded
paving stones of the city streets
have only half the reflective power of
this closely curling grass. A walk
about the prairies covered with It will
confirm this theory, for It flings back
the heat so strongly that It causes the
face to become sun-burned even on a
cloudy day. The grass, by forming a
blanket covering the earth, prevents
the absorption of the heat by the
earth. The burning sun's rays that
would otherwise be absorbed in the
ground are flung back by the grass
into the air, twice heating it, and so
creating the vacuum that is the preparation
for a cyclone.
During his visit there in weather
which the oldest citizens pronounced
ordinary and moderate, he studied the
air with his telescope and distinctly
saw through that magnifying medium
the formation of three tiny but unmistakably
funnel-shaped clouds.
Tuma Itself, Dr. Schlldenkrantz says.
Is like a typhoid germ carrier, of whom
we have examples occasionally In a
community. While dlffsuring germs of
typhus these persons never suffer rrom
them, and while breeding and cradling
tornadoes and cyclones, Yuma is itself
peacefully Immune from them.
Yuma is situated in the middle of a
wide prairie. It enjoys the cool breezes
that sweep downward through the canyons
of the Rockies. It is vaunted by
its 400 inhabitants, and justly boasted,
a natural sanitarium. Asthmatic patients,
convalescents and neurasthenics
flock there for cure and And it; but
Yuma, like its human prototypes, has
faults, and ItB fostering of cyclones is
the chief.?New York American.
THE GNAT OF DEATH.
An Insect of Central Africa That Has
Cost Thousands of Lives.
Surgeon General Sir David Bruce,
head of the Sleeping Sickness commission
which was sent to Central Africa
nearly two years ago, has returned to
England with Lady Bruce. Sir David
will remain in England a few weeks
*" * a. 4/v XTvooolonrl tt'hpTP.
Deiore reiuiuuig w
the remainder of the commission is
still working. The work will not be
completed for another year.
The object of the commission is to
study the relationship of the African
fauna to the spread of sleeping sickness
in that continent. The work has
been carried on in a wild and remote
region in Angoniland, about fifty miles
from the shores of Lake Nyasa, where
the members of the commission lived
and worked in mosquito-proof huts.
Lady Bruce took her regular turn
with the others in laboratory work.
Bvery precaution was taken, and Sir
David Bruce was the only member of
the party who suffered from fever. The
natives were regularly dosed with quinine.
Sir David Bruce finds that the
so-called sleeping sickness in Nyasaland
is not the same as that of Uganda
or the West Coast, although it belongs
to the same category.
It is more rapid and even more fatal.
There has been no case of recovery. It
is now established beyond doubt that
the disease is carried by glosslna morsltans,
a fly which is widely spread
over the whole of Africa. Sir David
Bruce's work has been carried on in a
proclaimed district of Nyasaland on the
eastern shore of the lake, extending nity
miles from north to south and twenty-flve
miles from east to west.
Animals were shot early In the morning
and specimens of the blood, while
perfectly fresh, were carried back by
motor-bicycle to the laboratory for examination.
Half the wild animals shot
in the area were found to be Infected
with sleeping sickness In some form or
other, and in all probability the whole
of them may be said to be affected.
From this it will be safe to Infer
that the commissioners are of opinion
that the game in these areas should be
regarded in the same light as mad
dogs, and destroyed an a standing menace
to natives and whites alike.
Sir David Bruce does not believe that

probably been In these areas from time
immemorial, and that it will never assume
the terrible proportions of the
sleeping sickness of the Congo or

1 STILL ROOM FOR FAITH
Belief in Others Important Feature of
Our Daily Lives.

lng. The soul, like the body, must have
space in which to breathe and grow.
Neither can we be served with facts in
every waking moment Are we, then,
to go through the world on the basis
of guess work? Is there nothing certain
to which to cling, and shall desire
remain a glimmering mirage on the horizon,
where
"Gleans that untravelea world whose
margin fades
Forever and forever when I move."
Faith is required of us, not only toward
the skies, but In the horizontal
direction?toward those who live round
us and with us on terms of mutual dependence.
It is the tragedy of our human
life to lose "faith in human nature"?to
And our trust misplaced, and
to find that building better than we
knew the foundation of our confidence
was undermined. The poet pleads with
the world to be still better than it is,
lest it shall break the heart of one he
cares for, by destroying her ideals,
when she finds how far short of her
dreams comes the reality. "There's no
art to find the mind's construction in
the face," reflects one of Shakespear's
disappointed characters, when he finds
he was deceived in his reading of another
man. In a more modern instance,
his business associates have trusted
their fellow?and he plays them false.
They could spare the money he has
taken from them better than they can
spare their image of him, their trust in
his probity and fidelity. One has played
the good Samaritan and taken a human
being who was "down and out"
from the gutter and his rags, to "make
a man" of him. The rescued one forgets
his former plight, thinks only of
his chance to deecive, and callously betrays
his benefactor. He who had been
disposed to charitable works is?perhaps?mbittered
from that time forward.
He was deceived?he is not moved
again to start the fountain flow of
generosity. Examine into any case of
misanthropy, and the investigation is
likely to reveal the shortcomings of the
promise of a fellow mortal. The pledge
was broken as lightly as the web
thrown by a spider across the garden

meant when it was made, but it was
(as it appears in this bitter hour), only
uttered to be forgotten, and for the
sake of dismissing another's importunity.
Blessed indeed are they who have
been deceived by others and still have
believed in the goodness and dependableness
of the very great majority.
It argues a pinched, mean outlook upon
life to condemn the many for the malfeasance
of the insignificant minority.
Overbelief is better than underbellef,
and because the hopes of a few optimists
collapse shall we dismiss their
cheerful tribe in favor of those who
have no illusions, make "facts" their
creed, and smile with the supercllliousness
of intellectual alertness at what
they consider an outworn equipment of
religious philosophy in the pupil? They
would not darken the doors of a church
to hear if a clergyman's ministry is
abreast of the times?and Of human
needs?or not; but at long range tfcey
would not hesitate to assail the church
fnr Ifa dIIaitM fnllnrp and th? dppnd
ence of the ministry. Hand in hand
with the perishing of faith In matters
that have to do with the realm of the
unseen goes the diminishing of trust in
mankind; till one who is at sea rudderless
and compassless has no star left in
his sky, nothing but black chaoB about
him, and his existence counts for little
since he has no help to give from his

to provide mental gymnastic exercises. m
They found a direct source of inspiration
for the fine and beautiful things
they believed in, the noble fives they
knew. Some people complain because
the Book of Books is so full of stories.
There is a reason for that. It tells of |
the lives and deeds of real men and
women?and as they have done we cah
do or avoid doing. Suppose instead of
every narrative and parable we were
given merely abstract doctrine?anoth- j
er tenet of unexceptionable morality,
another aphorism which is certainly
true. That Book would not have made
Its way into the innermost recesses of
the heart, as the history of Its progress
shows it has made its way.
Faith, in a famous juxtaposition, is
put ahead of hope and charity, for it
does not seem as though the second
and the third could survive without the
first. In the relation of man and wife, t
how could love continue to live with- I
out mutual trust? A lie Is the begin- 1
nlng of the end of everything that
makes life worth living, and when a
man believes that all who deal with <
him are perfidious, his pleasure in ex- 1

What is Education??Soon the 14,000,000
children of the country will
be back at their desks. There are
about 20,000,000 enrolled, but the average
attendance is only about twothirds
of the total. What will these
children be studying?
Well, the history the children of
Massachusetts will learn will be distinctly
different from that the children
of the south will absorb. Within
the past few years states have rushed
into the adopting of their own pe
culiar school books, and In some states
are official publication offices In an effort
to head off the various book
trusts. In many cases the bool^s pander
to local prejudices and In some
they are ridiculously partisan.
In most states the book companies
have been at work, largely through
former teachers, to increase the curriculums,
so that they may sell more i
books. There is money in this and
some of the money is tainted. The ,
result is that the child in school is ;
often loaded down with a lot of books 1
he will never understand and is made
to recite a medley of thingB that roll ,
oft his mind like water oft the back of '
a duck. <
Education in the United States has 1
not yet entered the twentieth century.
It is lagging twenty-five years behind
the tlmea The most alert factors in
it are the publishers who play politics
and sell books.?Philadelphia Ledger.

You will consult your own best inter
est by seeing me before placing th
business. I have had more than twen
ty years' experience in the Insurano
business, and while I do not pretem
to know all about the various kind
of insurance, or any one for that mat
ter, still I devote my entire time t
the work and It is a reasonable con
elusion that I should be better poste
than one with a shorter experience o
one who does not devote his entire tlm
to it Let me supply your Insuranc
wants.
