I'i&A If iJI DISKED HIS LIFE. er Get BTaW a Eaterarlaiaa; tkeKewalto Undoubtedly the boldest undertaking on the part of a reporter to score ft "beat". ever known In the history of American Journalism was when Thom as B. Fielders of the New York Times leaped from a steamer In New York harbor at odds of about 100 to 1 of being; drowned and brought In the first graphic story of the loss of the ocean liner Oregon. It Is the custom of New York dailies to send reporters down the bay to meet Incoming 6teamers when It is known there Is "big news" aboard. On the ground that it Is bet ter to be safe than sorry the editors dispatch the reporters by special per mit on a government revenue cutter or else on a specially chartered tug, with a view to catching their game before the ship docks. It was known early one afternoon that a North Ger man Lloyd steamer was not far out; and every city editor In New York laid plans for sending reporters to meet the incoming liner. Fielders was one of these. He man aged to get aboard the big steamer far down the bay and went among the sur vivors of the Oregon disaster and ob tained some thrilling tales of escape. He took notes enough to write a book about the sinking of the ship, with minute details of heroic rescues and plenty of what newspaper men call "human Interest" stories. Then time began to wear heavy on bis hands. It was getting late at night and the ship had not yet passed quarantine. To make matters worse, the captain said that be would allow no one to leave the ship until she had made her way clear of quarantine. Fielders vainly pleaded that he was not a passenger and therefore was not amenable to the inspection of the ship by the health officers. His remonstrances were un availing. The captain was obdurate. Ten o'clock came. The city editor of the Times paced nervously around the night desk, repeatedly asking, "Where on earth is Fielders?" Out there in the bay Fielders, wrought to a pitch of auger almost sufficient to impel an assault upon the exacting captain, looked vainly at the dimpling stream of light from his tug as she lay out in the darkened waters waiting for him. The captain of the steamer would not permit the tug to come any nearer to his ship. Fielders stood beside the rail, loudly remon strating with the man commanding the big ship. He stealthily placed one leg over the rail, then the other. Then there was a splashing sound below and a chorus of shouts from the pas sengers. The reporter was overboard! Out in the rippling light his body was seen to rise, and as it did the daredevil began swimming toward his tug. Hfs comrades had thrown out a line at a signal from him previously given, and he made for that line. Would he ever get it? Could they see him, a mere speck on the dimly lighted water? He gained a hold on the rope, was pulled aboard the tug and gave orders for her nose to be turned toward the Manhat tan shore with all possible speed. The Times contained a full and graphic story of the loss of the Oregon the next morning. Itemson Crawford In Success Magazine. Oaly Oae Kiaa; Barfe la Ieelaafl. In Iceland it is the boast of the na tive that "only one king Is burled here." That was King Roerek of Nor way (vide Snorri Sturiuson's Saga, "Heimskringia"), whom King Olaf the Holy "shipped," with the signiflcant hint that he need not be in any hurry to return to his native land. Roerek, who was a shrewd, peaceably minded monarch, took the hint, went to Ice land and a thousand odd years ago set tled down to farming "at a little stead height. Calfskin, where were but few serving folk, and there he dwelt and on the fourth winter got the illness which brought him to his bane. So, it Is 6aid, he Is the only king that rests In Iceland.' A Hone's Acre. The age of a horse cannot always be told by looking at its teeth. After the eighth year the horse gets no more new teeth, so that this method Is use less for a horse more than eight years old. As soon as the set of teeth, is complete, however, a wrinkle begins to appear on the edge of the lower eyelid, and another wrinkle is added each year, so that to get the age of a horse more than eight years old you must count the teeth plus the wrinkles.

'Odors of the forest, breeses from the sea, delicate aromas of the dawn, exhalations from dew laden fields, entrancing pure breath of infan cyhow can we find among dumb, in expressive human words any fair equivalent; any just translation of such rare effects and sensations In the world of nature as these? How shall we Interpret myriad shades of one color In the few words at our com mand? How shall we pot the feeling and the ecstasy of nature Into the for mula of mental apprehension and mte the terms of literary expression? It Is as hopeless a task as if one stood as Interpreter beside some charming poet of alien tongue and could catch only here and there ft word and could render that word only by some uncouth paraphrase, or by some term of remote or unaccepted meaning. What charm, what coherence even, could we find hi such Inadequate transference to anoth er sphere of what was so beautiful in Its own? So to say that the sea Is blue does indeed give a certain Impres sion of one color rather than another and in a crude way suggests a general tint to our mental vision. But how opaque a dead Is the one word "blue" when helu up as the reflecting mirror to our uiiuds of that world of translu cent sapphire glory let down from heaven upon earth, air r.nd ocean that suffusion of azure from cerulean reser voirs which drenches uature on rare midsummer days! We have seen such flooding molten turquoise light like gems liquefied and poured over sea coast, mountain and plain when It has seemed as If the chalices of the atrrete of the ether and the sun kept pourinr down new tides of graded sky tones on the glorified landscape. We have seen rock and flower, cloud and tree, bill and valley, swim and seem to float in every gradation of the great monotone of color around us, while bar after bar of Indigo, violet, blue, lay far upon the sea, reiterating In a thousand changing shades that end of the rainbow gamut of color in the endless enchantments of Its tremulously sliding, blending, ever overlapping. Infinitely shaded scale. Oh, again, take the word silence as the image of that great, full breathing, resonant stillness of the forest far from the dwelling of men. How flat and un responsive and echoless Is the word symbol when hung up as the silvers sounding board of what nature calls her stillness. The term silence is but a dumb Interpreter of the serene, sound less, on going, life In the deep wooda In that silence there Is speech of thou sand tongues, Inaudible and voiceless, complex and Intricate, as the flexured Interweaving of" leafy branches over head or the gray and gold green tints that sift down upon the ragged roots and licbened rocks that roughen her forest aisles.

Take a good sized bowl, fill it nearly full of wa ter and place it upon the floor of a room which Is net exposed to shaking or jarring from the street Sprinkle over the surface of the wa ter a coating of Iycopodium powder, a white substance which is sometimes used for the toilet and can be bought at almost any drug store. Then upon the surface of this coating of powder make with powdered charcoal a straight black line, say, an Inch or two inches in length and lying north and south. Having made this little black mark with the charcoal powder on the sur face of the contents of the bowl, lay down upon the floor a stick or some other straight object, so that it shall be exactly parallel with the mark. If the line happens to be parallel with a crack In the floor or with any sta tionary object In the room this will serve as well. Leave the bowl undisturbed for a few hours and then notice the position of the black mark with reference to the object that It was parallel with. It will be found to have shifted its di rection and to have moved from east to west that is to say,' in a direction opposite to that of the movement of the earth on Its axis. The earth In simply revolving 'has carried the water and everything else In the bowl around with It but the powder on the surface has been left behind a little. The line will always be found to have moved from east to west which is good proof that every thing else has moved the other way. WHY CYPRESS WOOD SINKS. Waaalastoa Scleatlata Made a MmI Slairalar Discovery. Southern lumbermen take great de light in a story of certain scientific gen tlemen who were sent by the govern ment at Washington to study the growth ami uses of the bald cypress at a time wbeu cypress lumber was comparatively new to thetuarket. They Went direct to a large camp, presented credentials to the superintendent and watched with minute care the processes of cutting the timber and floating it down stream. Cypress is a light spongy wood that grows in swamps and absorbs water readily. The scientific gentlemen re quested the superintendent to throw some logs Into the river separate from the main rafts and followed their prog ress down stream in a boat Aftei floating south for some distance the logs with one accord sank. Much sur prised, the scientific gentlemen return ed and followed another consignment The phenomenon was repented; at a certain distance from the camp all the logs sank. The gentlemen from-Washington, be ing very scientific, did not think to question the unlettered superintendent about the power of cypress to becomo waterlogged, but after numerous ob servations and much comparing of notes reported to their department the "startling discovery that cypress floated north of a certain parallel of latitude and south of it invariably sank. Of the cause they were not yet certain, but hazarded the suggestion that it might lie hi the rotary motion of the earth, increasing in speed as the logs ap proached the equator until it was pow erful enough to draw them under. Philadelphia North American. Fralt Tree Waed. Many farmers who occasionally or der the destruction of fruit trees on account of advanced age or unfruitful ness are quite unaware of the value attached to much of the wood thus sacrificed. Cherry wood is largely used in furniture and when polished reveals a beautiful cplor and provides a passa ble imitation of mahogany. Apple tree wood is remarkably well adapted to turner's work and Is In demand for making cogwheels on account of its great strength and durability. The cogs of wooden mill wheels are often made of apple wood. It is also exten sively used for fruit presses, where it proves very durable. The value of walnut wood in tine cabinet work is well known, and gouJ prices are ob tained for this beautiful and popular wood. London Times. Tbe Beard In Taaia. In Tunis when a reigning prince finds it necessary to go outside his im mediatefamily to choose his successor he follows an odd custom. There the wearing of hair on the face is the ex clusive privilege of sovereignty. When the prince selects a successor he sends the court barber to the fortunate indi vidual to notify, him that be may wear a beard. This intimation is equivalent to ft formal announcement that he has been selected as the heir presumptive. P - .AdSaiBaaVaaV ajMpfB!BlBjBBaaB fjffiaiS-aai B&A33F3BaBaaaaaa?;:;tBaass!A 1 I Dr. J. W.
