Sonic liifiiriiiiiMiiu Hint IsVtII U'ortli
ItfiiitMiilx-rliiK' .
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.

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. Lamps are pretty for the
bedroom but It la almcst Impossible to turn
them out without leaving HOIIIC odor In the
room. liut candles are for retiring only
when they furnish suillclcnt light. No room
can bo too light whcro a woman Is dressing.
She should lie able to oeo every detail of her
dress , from every point of view from which
It will bo seen by many eyes In a drawing
room or ballroom. If there were more mir
rors In the world , and they were butter dis
tributed , there would bn more wcll-drossed
women. For other purposes the candle Is In
finitely restful to the eye.
Tliere are others but none "Just as good"

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.

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 ! ' and !
finally he would glvo In , resolving to give the
girl her money hack if bo won right along ,
us of cour.se ho expected ho would.
FATTENING THE POT.
"The first throw the victim of course won ,
and he would lal < n the girl's ? 10 gold piece
and put It In his iiockot as If It were forever
lu t , though In- Intended to fish It out for
hcr when the game was over. 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. She was BO o.MJorl at ( ho three-card
monte throw that nobody could fool tier at It
and yet If she won it would seem to tin )
victim qulto accidental.
" 'Hut , child , ' bo would say , 'U would bo
qulto lin < posslblo for you lo do It unless by
pure guesswork. A.nl why vuntiiio your
money to recklessly ? '
" 'No , no , 1 llko to play It It Is such
fun ! ' And tha man still with the resolution.
of course , of returning the money ho won ,
would throw the cards. Of course , she
would pick the card unerringly and the vl'i-
tlm would get n Halo rod over the xlzo of
hl unexpected loss. The girl , qulto art
lessly , would clap her hands with glee.
" '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. It wan the xllckest monte
game that was ever played In this coun
try by man or woman , and Kate Htorl ; nude
a uilut out of 1U At length , however , tbu
railroads Rot on lo her , nnd she had to quit
the monte ncheme. . . . .
"Then Mio took up short pouer. I ntvi t
nupposo the man who lauglit her how to
iil y the game had ever done a bout of poker
on the level In his life , for Jack Stork WAS
a ch plui would elicit himself at swlllairp.
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.
' 'I call you , ' Raid McGregor.
"Kato throw down a queen-high straight
( lush of spades. .McGregor thiew down i
king-high straight ll'iHh ' of diamonds. The
woman's face grow pao. ! McGregor calmly
leaned over , swept the money > ln front of him ,
and counted it. Theru was over $2fiOiO.

" 'Tho thing bus gouo to' ) far. ' explained
McGregor , rising , 'and , anyhow , ono doesn't
