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.

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.'

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.

It Is quite possible to prove that the
earth revolves on Its axis by a simple
experiment and without having re
course to mathematics. 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.

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.
