Distances at sea arc measured in miles , just as they arc on laml , but the speed of a ship at sea that is , the number of miles she makes through the water in one hour of. time is measured in knots. There is , there fore , a difference la the meaning of the word "mile" anil "knot ; " they are no more synonymous that arc words "distance" and "speed , " to which they are correlated. It is well , says Harper's llotint Table , to hear in mind , in speakhiR or writing of nautical matters , this distinction , that a mile Is a milt of distance , but a knot is a uciit of speed. There are two kinds oC mile a statute or land mile and a nautical or sea mile. A statute mile is 5.2SO feet long. It Is our standard of Itinerary measure adopted from the English , who In turn adopted It from the Itonmns. A Roman military pace , by which distances were measured , was the length of the step taken by the Roman soldlera , and was approximately five feet Icag ; a thousand of these paces were called , in Latin a mllu. The English mllci is , therefore , a purely ar bitrary measure , enacted into legal measure by a statute passed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth ; it lias no connection with any scale in nature. A nautical mlle , on the other hand , is equal in length to cino-sixtcenth part of the length of a degree fit a great circle of the earth. Hut the circumference of the earth Is no where a true circle ; its radius of curvature is variable ; hence the nautical mile , as a matter of fact , depends for its length upon the shape as well as the she of the globe sailed over ; and hence , strictly speaking , the length of the nautical mile should vary with the latitude from C.04G feet at the equator to C.109 feet at the pole. Such extreme accuracy is not necessary In navigating and cannot be well attained without undue labor. The ISnglish admir alty , therefore , have adopted C.OSO feet as the length of a nautical mile , which corres ponds with the length of one-sixtieth of a degree or one minute of arc of a great circle In latitude forty-eight degrees. The United Slates Ccast survey has adopted the value of the nautical mile "as equal to onc-slxticUi part of the length of a degree on the great circle of a sphere whcse surface is equal to the surface of the earth. " This gives the length of one nautical mile as equal to fi.OSO.27 feet , which is very nearly the value of the admiralty mile adopted in the Eng lish navy. Parctically the nautical mile is M)0 ) feet longer than the statute mile. In other words , one nautical mile Is equal to 1.1515 statute miles ; or ono statute mlle is equal to O.SG9 nautical mile. Multiply nau tical miles by 1.131G and the product will bo statute miles ; or. multiply statute miles by U.8G9 and the product will be nautical miles. IA knot is in length a nautical mile Ihat Is , G.OSO feet. iBut It never , correctly speak ing , means anything more or less than a nautical mile an hour. When saying Hut a ship has a speed of twenty knotB it means that In ono hour of time she can go twenty nautical miles , precisely in the way that a 2-10 : horse means that a horse , in two minutes and forty seconds of time , can trot one mllo. Remember , then , that it is erroneous to use1 knot as synonymous with mile ; so , lee , Is It an error to gay so many knots an hour for the word kr.it alone signifies the tlmo as well as the rate of progress of the ship during the time. Another point to bear In mind is that though the measure of distance at sea Is called , like the measure of distance on land , a mile , yet distances at sea are always measured in nautical miles , never In statute miles ; and in both cases the single word mlle Is significant enough to convey the In tended meaning. To Biy that the distance from New York to Southampton Is 3,000 sea or nautical miles Is tautological , but It would bo worse still to fay , as many often do , that the distance Is 3.000 knots. Vnluc ill' CliniHcK. No one who has not used candles for the bedroom can appreciate their value. The light la tioft and tl'cro Is no unpleasant , un healthy odor , CB thorn may be from gas or kerosene ; nor the staring whiteness of the electric light.

Illllll IlIl'lMM'N III A IINfrilllll , Many yeara ago the fanners of Australia Imported bumble bees from England and wi-t them frpo in their clover fields. Ileforo thn arrival of the ber clover 'lid not nourish In Australia , but after their coming the farm- IT. ! hud no more dlfllculty on that ucorn. Mr. Darwin had shown that bumblebees were the only Insects fond of clover nectar which popsecsed a proboscis siiniclcntly long 11n reach the bottom of the long lube-like ( lowers , and. at the same time , a body heavy enough to bend down the clover-head so that tlui pollen would fall on the insect's back and , thus be carried off to fertilise other ( lowers of the same gpeclcu. According to a writer In 1'opular Sclenco NUWK. the bumble bees Hcnt to Aiititralla cost the farmcra there I | about half a dollar apiece , but they proved I to bo worth the price.

Nlmrp , and who , for a woman , wn.s probably tlio best poker player nnd thrco-eard monti < worker lit the business , died In retirement In S.ni Francisco the other day , " sftld George ReiiHha-.v , a San Ulogo hotel man. to a New York Stin correspondent. "Sho had lived In strict seclusion , scarcely ever venturing out , slnoo lior mother and two slstera were burned to death In a ranch flro In Sonoma county In ISSi ) , anil she was probably something Ilka W ) years old when she died. I suppose Kate Stork succeeded In swindling .more clever men by the combined HUMUS of her graces of person and manner and her phenomenal ciklll with the cards than any oilier woman whoever over deliberately adopted the career of a daylight robber. Some of the men she victim ized afterward confessed that even while their money was being taken from them and they felt Ihat they wcro getting the worst of It they were Impelled to see the thing through to the end simply for the purpose of studying the woman and her methods. Many a middle-aged man. living In nil the country from Denver lo fr'nn Francisco , and from I'ort- l nd to Snnta Uarbara , must I'nvo bid 'i r tro- specllve moment wit en he read the announce ment of her death , and probably uncon sciously clapped his baud ( o hla money pocket lulu the bargain. "Kate Stork's maiden name was MMioney. Her father was a high-class Irishman and one of the original Argonauts. He mairled a Spanish woman of good family at one of the southern California missions , and Kate was brought up In a convent near Santa Uarbara. When who was 17 years old Jack Stnrk , the worst blackguard of a short card player that over worked the slate of California , came along and Kate Mahoncy married him out of hand within a month after her llrst meetIng - Ing with him. He died a year after the mar riage , but the year he spent with hH young wlfo served to make- her utterly reckless and Immoral , and a more accomplished card swliidlnf Minn hop IniRlmid linil IUHMI Im. sides. She was a very handsome woman and spoke with a slight Spanish accent , as was natural after the life she had spent in the Spanish nunnery. WORKING THE RAILROADS. "Sho began operations at professional card swindling soon after the completion of the Paelllc railroads. I think eho was the first gambler , man or woman , to work those roads. She started out as a three-cat d monte worker. Her method of enticing her victims was delightfully simple , and yet almost Invariably successful. She would laky the train from San Francisco for Ogden , Utah , for ir.htance , and she would take her place In a sleeper In which some man who looked promising was traveling. Mixn of her early gulls were elderly men , whom she selected on account of the complaisance they urually exhibited , for the sake of peace , when they discovered they had been swin dled. After the train was under way Kate would dually select her man , and begin to arouse his Interest and curiosity by her twinkling eye. Slie would not do this In any brazen way. but with a cny. fetching manner she had acquired by practice. When i he saw that she had her victim's curiosity siiniclcntly stirted she would cease to re gard him altogether , but would yawn wearily behind her hand and dig into her traveling bag. From the bag she would produce a tiny pack of cards , beautifully embossed , nnd about a quarter of the ordi nary size , and , as if to relieve the monotony of the journey , begin to play a game of solitaire em her lap. She would keep at this- for some time , and finally mutter petu lant little exclamations over the difficulty of getting the game right. After repealed efforts she would finally sigh drearily and rest her chin in her hand , as if lei deep thought , and naturally her eyec would thus meet those of her victim , Just as naturally the victim , sympathizing with the perplexity of the pretty , Spanish-looking girl , and per haps with other motives , would approach her and gallantly offer to help her out of her difficulty with the solitaire game. Kate would accept the offer , and the victim. If he did not have a very long head , indeed and men were not distinguished for lovel- headcd'ncss ' In the western country In those days was well on the way to losing a good part of his roll. A PLAY OF INNOCENCE. "Of course be would unravel the solitaire puzzle , which was always of the simplest , In the course of a few attempts. Then Kate would musingly pick up three of her tiny cards , usually aces , and Inquire in a kind of absent-minded tone : " 'What is that funny , puzzling game wllh three caids that my brothers were showing me In San F'anclsco the other day ? Oh , f know ! You throw the three cards down , one , two , three , like tills , crossing them as you throw them , and then you make somebody guess a certain card , isn't it ? ' "Tho victim would gcneiully smile know ingly and ray : " 'Oh , that's the game of three-card monte ; brothers shouldn't teach their sisters such a game as that , ' and so on. and so on , with the usual imbecility of victims. " 'Oh. but I want to learn It , ' Kato would toy. 'Show me.1 "Tho man would show her how monte was played the thing was a craze like olgs-ln- clover out west at that time < ind every man could throw the three cards after a fashion and Kate's eyes would grow big with in terest. " 'Oh , let mo see If I can't do It , ' she would exclaim In her pretty , enthusiastic way , and she would take the cards nml make foolish attempts to fi l the "Ictltn. After n while , though , she would exhibit more pro ficiency , so that she could puzzle him about once In Lhreo times. " 'Now we shall bet upon It ! ' she would say In her ocstallc way. 'I love to hot ! I win lots and lots of money from my brothers. Now I will bet $10 you cannot pick the right card1 ! "Tito victim would of course demur at win ning a woman's money , but wlic would Insist , siylng : 'Ob. I have a lot of money !

The second throw lie would win , too , and take the ? 10 gold pleco with a smile. " 'Now , you tlnow them and see if I can't giiesa the card ! ' Kato would exclaim. 'I will wager you a hundred , a whole two hundred , that I can ! ' "That was thn beautiful craft of Kale's game.

" 'Now , you may win It back,1 she would say , 'Another 200 , and then wo stop. ' " 'Ccnlldent this tlmo that ho could rn- coup , tlio victim would make another throw , nnd , of course , lose again. Then lio'd stop , perhaps with a llttlo suspicion If ho wasn't a total chump , and , perhaps not. Ho'd pay over his losses llko a llttlo man , which K-ite would throw Into her traveling bag with the exclamation. 'Oh , what a lot of money ; ' and there yrm are.

"Then Mio took up short pouer.

He wns apparently as good an Instructor n he was n player of short curds , for Kato was A magician with the dock. Her method of working poker was n llltlo more elaboratfl than her monte scheme , but Hie results were even laiger. Her operations were carried on chiefly at the big resorls In southern California and In the mountains of Colorado. She would oscillate between the two section * according to the seisona. It would take her quite a little while to work up her game , but she always won out. A SU'EI.l , GAME. "She would take swell apartments In the swellest hotel In Santa UarNnn , for Instance , giving tho'Impression that she was iv.vouni ; wlrtuw lately out of mt.uriilng , and resting up on the southern co.ist after her first onerous social season since her husband's death. She would spend money lavishly about the hotel , always maintaining tlm proprieties to nn eminent degree , however , and after a while the women of the liotol would begin lo form her acqinlntitnrc. Naturally , then , she would form the ac quaintance of the husbands , and she usually contrived that the women with whom she struck up f Intln.acy were provided with wealthy Iriisbands. She was a brilliant wo man , a musletin of excellence , and Just the sort of woman that other wotum's hus bands would feel disposed ( o be gallant tn , and It would not bo long before she had the cream of the moneyed portion of the hotel's Kiiesls Just where she wanted it. Theto wmild he exchanges of visits among the women , and after a while she would make her Inevitable suggestion : "And cin't wo have a little game of cards ? " "Nothing easier than that. And she al ways played wllh the wives of her victims In the game , i-o that whatever suspicion might arise should have some palliation. For several nights the game would be for a small limit and Kate would nisi' It only by small degrees. The women with their husbands in the game would wlnco a little when they saw them beginning to IIHO rather alarmingly , but , If they said any thing , would be told to mind their own business. Kate would lead up to one big night , make a winning that would often run into the thousand" , quite complacently c- -ept the displeasure , not lo say the de nunciation of the victims' wives , nnd start for other fields. The men. unwilling to acknowledge even to tlu'in.solves that they enId be 'done' at poker by a more woman , vould Insist to their wives that Kale wa.i 11 right , only that she had bud a mar velous run of luck , and absolutely forbid ihelr saying a word around the betel conCerning - Corning their lot-sea. Thus when , as often happened. Kale would return to the same hotel the next seas 'ii. she would find no harriers up against her , and would IIP us welcome u guest as before , with a new KOI of victims to nluck. "I suppose the most exciting night In Kite Stork's career was the night she went up against llyron McGregor , the famous' S'Ui ' Francisco faro'dealer , In o poker game with out knowing It until he told her at the finish of the game who he was. K.ite had never met McGregor , as they were In differ ent HUPS of business , and anyhow Kato never nude a practice of going wllh folka who followed any branch of her priifes-ion. McGregor , who was at this time running a big faro bank on Sacramento street In San Krancisco , know Kate well by slghl , nul hi < also knew of the holes she was drill.ng in the purses of the wealthy men whose money ho would rather have taken In at his Irink. Ho was rather curious to meet her and ! ' ) llnd out what sort of a poker game nho played , to do such remarkable winning , lly ron McGregor was himself a supreme mas ter of the game of poker , ami he alw.ns played the game on the level , even with strangers , but lie knew how to play crok < d. too , If he wanted to , when ho stacked up against people who. not knowing him , thought to rub it in on him. SPORT AGAINST SPORT. "McGregor went down to the hotel at Srtn Jose nt which Kate was working up hi-r game one autumn. He was a quiet , goti'lp- inunly looking man of , ' ! 5 at this time. He wont to San Jose to meet Kate anl piny cards with her. Ho registeiad und r an as sumed name , played his points well , and was soon in the coterie about to be plucked by the woman whose game he desired to know. The coterie consisted of a rich Chi cage incichant and an equally rich Denver merchant. Their wives were In the game , but duininli'f and they finally withdrew ono night altogether when their husbands were losing rapidly to Kate. Tills was Kate's big night and .sho didn't bother about their withdrawing. McGregor came Into the game laic , and an if quite accidentally , when Kale was seven ! thousand dollars ahead of both men. Ho came , he said , lo pay a good night call , and was about to go in apparent affright at the card playing , when Kate , thinking she saw another good thing , Invited him into the. game. " 'Oh , I don't know whether I know enough about It or not , ' Bald McGregor but she per sisted , and ho sat In. lie told us afterward that ho never felt so elated In his life not for the money , but for the experience of see ing how a young woman could deho so droply Into the pockets of men who were prclty good themselves. " .McGregor , together with the other two , lost about an even thousand at the first go when ho got In. Hut ho was studying her game , and knew how to do It , while thev were only fidgeting and wondering a whole lot. .McGregor played like a schoolboy. " "Ho lost another thousand , and smiled in wardly , but KHsumed an outward IHTVOUS ap pearance. The two merchants lost right along. "They bad agreed to quit at midnight. At five minutes to 12 McGregor had the buck and It was a Jackpot. " 'I had to steady myself like a diver tn make that deal. ' he afterward said , 'for I wanted to do it good. ' "The Denver merchant waa nt McGrenor'a left. Ho couldn't open the Jack. The Chicago merchant was next. Neither could he. Kato could. " 'Two thousand , ' said she. " 'I did a llttlo squirming , ' McGregor after ward said , 'to make mo look weak. ' " 'Ten thousand more , ' said McGregor. " 'Very well , ' said Katc. , . throwing the no'ca Into the pot. She looked eomplals'iit as if only confronting a bluffer , and Hiirc that the money was hers. "Iloth she and McGregor stood pat. It was her first bet. " 'Fivo dollars , ' said she.
