'WOJC Most of the passengers bad sought the refuge and seclusion of the cabin, and seemed to be engaged despairingly in praying for death. Eut two still remained 011 deck. They were Orlando G. Spoonamore, capitalist and young man of leisure, parity of the first part, and a handsome young woman with fluffy brown hair, party of the second part, and they I happened to be sitting side by side. She was absorbed in a copy of the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Stake, and he was reading the automobile news in a daily paper?when he wasn't glancing at his fair companion out of the corner of his starboard eye. The wind freshened and he proceeded I X to button his light overcoat. But the top button was unaccountably missing. To the best of his recollection it was there when he boarded the boat. The PDreeze, or something, must nave torn 11 i off. Mechanically he detached 1he stickpin from his necktie and pinned the two flaps securely together. Then he resumed his reading. And his glancing, v ; Presently, having finished the story, Icf > the young woman raised her head. looked around her with sudden surjj&v prise, and started to rise. Mr. Spoonamore felt a slight tug at y r Lis chest. He looked down. To his horror "he found that he bad pinned the loose flap of her light gray I[ wrap to his overcoat, and turned red with anger and mortification. "What does this mean, sir?" she demanded, in freezing, indignant tones. "I?I beg your pardon," lie stammered; "It was an accident. I had lost a button from my coat, and I supposed I was shutting up the garment : with a pin. I had no intentiou " "But you haven't lost a button, sir!" shei interrupted. For she could see it plainly. He looked down again. "I see you are right," he said, his selfpossession gradually returning, "but I . thought I had." g; "Will you release me, sir. at once!" Her eyes flashed dangerously, but he did not flinch. "I fear you will have to sit down again," he proceeded to explain. "These two flaps are fastened together with my stickpin, and it has a patent fastening on the shank, for safety from the light-fingered gentry. I screwed it up tightly, and it will We a work of time to unfasten it." She sat down again, but stiffly, and without a word. "I never expected," he remarked, as lie fumbled at the pin, "to form a sudden attachment l'ke this?" "Sir!" "I'll have to suspend operations for ? mnmpnf. Here come two or three persons hurrying to the rail, to look at the water, I presume. May I ask you to unbend a little and appear to be engaged in an animated conversation with me, purely for the purpose of averting suspicion?" "I will not! Such a position as this is intolerable?unthinkable!" "It is. It is impossible. But it ex ists, my lords and gentlemen, like ths human race? "Besides," she again interrupted, re laxing a trifle as the humor of the sit nation forced itself upon her, "it isn' proper for me to be engaged in conver sa-tiou with a total stranger."

With a furious blush she drew hers j away?with considerable effort, for Orj Iando had a muscular grasp?and she was about to become distant again, when she remembered the necessity for caution. "Miss Gloriana?Goovius." he gasped, as she hastily moved closer, and her fluffy hair blew across his face.

"Well, ray hands are so?so numb from this cold breeze that I shall have to give it up. I suggest that we go into the cabin, seat ourselves in some secluded corner, and " "Yes! Yes!

Is there anybody so densely ignorant as not to .understand that it was absolutely necessary for Orlando to put his arm protectingly around her lovely form as they proceeded cautiously toward the cabin? Think how the boat was pitching! An hour passed away. They were still occupying a double seat in a corner of the cabin. By a joint effort, which took considerable time, they had succeeded in extracting .the stickpin, but they seemed to have forgotten it, and were sitting close together Hand in hand. A jar shook the boat. "Here we are. sweetheart!" whispered the young man. "at old St. Joe!" "But, Orlando, how dreadfully unconventional it would be for us to go and ? be married now on such short acquaintance! The idea is absurd!" "Not at all, Gloriana," he said, triumphantly. "It's eminently proper. That's the way all these stories end!" ?C. W. T., in Chicago Tribune. Chine*? Harvests. While hundreds of men are harvesting the big crops of Oklahoma or the Dakotas, a different sort of harvesting is going on in Southern China, where Wong Poy gathers in his wheat. Jack Smith, of Oklahoma, is a great landholder. with is 12,000 or 15,000 acres. Wong Poy, too, says a writer in Everybody's Magazine, is a great land magnate. He owns and farms four acres. His envious neighbors hold competences of one acre or bare pittances of an eighth of an acre; but Wong Poy is lucky. His father before him was a frugal man. as was his father's father, and he himself is an only son. He has even been able to afford a wife. Two "hands" work for him in these harvest days, at the panic wages of twenty cents a day. The men squat, Oriental fashion, at their work, chopping down the stalks with swift stabs of their little sickles. Mrs. Wong Poy and her eldest, a daughter, follow behind. and tie up the sheaves with wisps of straw. The two cherished men children, sole hope of heaven for WoDg Poy, play through the stubble and steal grains of wheat to chew. It is a matter for corporal punishment if they are caught at this, for in China every grain is numbered. When the wheat is all in, and has been beaten ont on the thrashing-floors and stored in the well-guarded granary under Wong Poy's house, the family 1U1C VI.

Its Roll Call 01 Fascinating: 1 a Necessity to Every Read KOGRAPHY means more than it <Iiil in the school O ? o days of any one past ft U tliiriy. It is accepted now that it deals with "all the relations between the earth f.nd its inhabitants"?which is wide score indeed.

"Ceogrnphy is not only prehistoric, it is prehuman.*' As primitive man had to become familiar with his environment. and learn, for his subsistence and existence, where to find food and water, where to tind shelter in cave or thicket, what roots and fruits were nutritious or harmful, vliat animate were available for eating. and what animals he had to guard against if he would live?so the birds and beasts had to do likewise, and learn, in their way. what we call geography nowadays. To understand what this science is nowadays, glance over the latest periodicals of societies devoted to it. Nothing that deals with the depths of the sea, the heights of the mountains, the run of tides, the danger of the plains, climate, excavations of ancient cities, the races of mankind, vegetable life and organic life, migration?nothing that deals with these is outside geography, which once seemed the easiest study of young days. As the late hydrograpber of the BritIcli Vow etiirl in tin orl/ll'ACC lllfil printed after liis death, "to read the daily newspapers requires either a geographical knowledge or constant reference to maps," and the mistakes made by those responsible for the conduct of public affairs "by waut of the most elementary knowledge are innumerable." It is not all in understanding a map. though that in itself is not a common facility. Let us remember that it does not end with the charted outlines of the worid, or the relief of lands, or even of sea depths. Its field has been stated to,be "the face of the earth." yet that, too, is far within what this most human science is parent of. It has to do with tests of atmosphere, and the profile of the ocean's bed and what lives there. flow irregular coast lines make a difference in people on the land; how man. superior to plants, has overcome mountains; how different he becomes in these altitudes from wbat be is in A DEEP BORING. Facta of Intfrent Gle?n*<l Uironch n , Half Mile Well. In 1S.17 for some reason it was thought profitable and possible to sesure an artesian weil in the State House yard. The geology of Ohio as a science wa.s still unwritten. In fact, the first volume of the Ohio Geological lteports contains Uc written record of tLis boring. Down feet?over half a mile? the auger was sent by the slow and laborious process of the time, and nearly a year was spent in the work. The boring was commenced on November 4, 1S57, and stopped October 1, IfcoS. No artesian water was'found. 'I be boring was made in the eastern nr.vf of the grounds. Its site was pointed out to the writer some years . iso, and it is now probably covered by the cement walk extending out to Third street from the Judiciary building. Water was struck and plenty of it?fresh, salt, sulphur, magnesian, etc.. but none of it came to the lop. Professor Theodore G. Wormley, the professor of chemistry in Starling Medical Coiicge, embraced the opportunity to secure the te nperature of 1 this deep boring. With a thermome! ter placed in a specialty prepared irou j case, and left at the bottom of the boring twenty-four hours, he found the temperature at the bottom to be SS degrees FaureuheP. Making deductions for the distance below the surface at which the heat of the suit ceases to be felt, he computed that the temperature increased one degree foi every seventy-one feet of descent. At that time European scientists wlic were carefully studying this branch ot physical geography had estimated that the temperature increased in such conditions one degree for every sixty-sis feet.

It is part of geography how the Black Hills of Colorado, rising suddenly from a plain, produce rainfalls there, which in turn produce forests and wash away the surface soil, exposing ore. and thus attract population.

So. likewise, when Norway chooses to be a kingdom instead of a republic (and elects a king!) and when 400 miles of telephones are stretched up the Congo, or telegraph poles are, as they will be next winter, set across Sahara Desert. This scarcely begins to indicate whal the new georgraphy comprises, or how, with the growth of communication among the human inhabitants of the earth?with the invention of steam, the printing press, electricity, Marconigraphs and the indefatigable enterprise of explorers?the old limitations have been extended. In a few years 100C miles more of coast line have beer mapped toward the South Pole; few places in the ocean, which used to have "unfathomable depths," remain unsounded; the sacred and impenetrable city of Lhasa has been penetrated: Korea has been deprived of an immemorial sovereignty; Mexico's "free zone" has been abolished; seven and one-half feet high gorillas have beer shot on the French Congo; the origin of the horse has been settled in out own West, and the discovery of the birthplace of civilization is believed to be on the eve of fulfilment by a Carnegie Institute expedition to Tur kestan, Under sand drift brought oj: by the receding of rivers and the windi of time.?New York Tress. Japanese Jncjlsn. The marvellous performances of tte jugglers of Japan have been widely known ever since the isolation of the Island Empire was broken. More thar thirty years ago Bayard Taylor, the American traveler and literator, told this story: *I was witness to some astonishing specimens of illusion. After a variety of tricks with tops, cups of water and paper butterflies, the juggler exhibited to the spectators a large open fan which he held in his right hand, ther threw it into the air, caught it by the lianefle in his left hand, squatted down fanned himself, and then turning hie head in profile, gave a loud sigh, dur ing which the image of a gallopiDj horse issued from his mouth. Stil fanning himself, he shook from his right sleeve an army of little men, whe presently, bowing and dancing, van isked out of sight.
