About half an hour after ward a new inspiration would seize up on the poet and he would call out, ‘Maria, get up! I've thought of a better word.’ We listened to this story with udmiration. but the liright-eyed Ameri can woman remarked, with a wave of red rose In her hand: ‘Well, if lic'd been my husband.

I had al ways a natural taste for working in metals, and was now in a position to gratify my ambition to become an ex pert in the business. At the age of 24 I was selected from the force of thir ty hands to expend all my time and tal ent In one particular branch of the work, namely, the locks and doors. This was many years ago and the mod ern Improvements had not been dream ed of. Hut several kinds of combina tion and permutation locks had been patented and one of the best of these I was placing upon our hardened steel doors. No ordinary burglar, however, would have thought of wasting his time and taking the risks with such a lock; consequently, our sole of safes was large ahd profitable. "I was receiving a good salary for my special work and Imagined, like many others in life, that I was a favor ite of fortune and that it would always last. “Krom the position I occupied it was easy to fall into the companionship of the sons of the wealthy classes, and to drift with them into expensive—if not objectionable—habits. The allur ing games of chance soon fascinated me with their golden favors. Intem perate habits In everything, together with loss of sleep, soon unfitted me for a fair day’s work and I was discharg ed. Going from bad to worse 1 soon found myself the welcome companion of thieves and gamblers, and often not knowing where my next meal was to come from. "Wandering aimlessly about the city with a favorite companion one day, we were passing the shop of an under taker. My chum called my attention to a safe, which stood near a desk and fronted the open door of the office, and suggested that it might contain money, of which we were both in great need. " ‘That lock and door arc both my own make,’ said I, as we halted a mo ment to glance at It, ‘and 1 can open it In live minutes.’ “ ‘You don't say that you can open that safe door In five minutes without knowing the combination of the lock?’ said my friend, with astonishment. " ‘I certainly can,’ I answered, ‘al though the game might be too small for the risk. If we could get into the room, it’s possible ’twould pay to look Into It, on account of this smallpox epidemic. Notice that the back door is open,’ I continued. ‘That door opens Into an alley. In passing here before when that door was closed, I’ve noticed a heavy lock on it and there’s an Iron bar across It on the Inside.’ “ ‘Let’# wander around to the alley and look over the situation,’ said my companion, ‘and maybe we can get In tonight’ “The alley seemed deserted.

A floating barrier of pumice stone 19 miles long, over 1.009 yards wide and ' 15 feet deep, closing a seaport to all vessels as effectually as a boom could do, is not the sort of thing one is likely to forget and yet that was one of the results of the Krakotoa eruption, the port being Telok Retoung, In Bunda straits, says Leitsure Hours. Formed In a few hours, It would nlmost seem to be the supreme effort of nature In the pumice-making line were it not that such Immense quantities are found at the bottom of the sea—a queer place for pumice stone. But pumice, when produced, Is really heavy. It Is only the air cavities in it that make it light and as it floats it becomes water logged and down it goes. Most of the pumice we use in Europe cornea from the Llpart Islands, north of Sicily, "the home of Vulcan,” whence Vulcano Is the name of one of them and cur "volcano" Is descriptive of the natural feature of which it Is the type. Here are the pumice quarries at Monte Chlriea and its craters Monte Pelnta and Forgla Vecchia where over 1,000 men are at work in the narrow tun nels and taileries. lighted by clay lamps of antique form. The .vhole hillside is perforated with groups of these tunnels, which number between 200 and .100 and arc so narrow that the men can hardly pass each other In them. And Just as coal is found in beds alternated with sandstone and shale, cio the pumice Is In layers be tween harder lavas and ashes.
