She was assured that nothing in the
line of tragedy wan likely to happen,
and when Mr. II owner cume In ho was
naked If he hud been hunting for a
lost pocket knife.
"It waa Just a preliminary Investiga
tion." he replied.
"InvoHtigntlon of what? I wish you
wouldn't be upsetting the girl with
your mysterious actions. You keep her
on the ragged edge all the time.
"Mrs. Bowser, If the men who have

"Then you ure delving, are youV"
"i am. if I can contribute anytlHng
to the general knowledge of the world
by a little effort on my part I feel It
my duty to do so. I have sueui very
little time In In vent I gating, and yet It
has not .been entirely thrown away.
What would wo have known of nat
ural history If hundreds of men hnd
not delved? But for the fact that Rev.
Mr. Long, the naturalist, has spent
yeurs and years In the forest, would
wo know that .when children are lost
a wolf takes It upon himself to lead
them home? Would we have learned
that when a bird breaks Its leg It nets
as Its own surgeon by tying splints
around it?"
"And you were helping along the
cause by looking among the bones,
bottles and cans in the back yard'"
suggested Mrs. BowBer.
Mr. Bowser didn't reply for five min
utes. It took him all that time to
flush red and white and keep from
yolllng out at her. When he had flu al
ly got a bold with his toes on the floor
he replied:
"If yon want to know what I was
out there for I can tell yon. There
were some gentlemen belonging to the
Naturalist club In the office today, and
the question came up as to how crick
ets passed tbe winter. They contend
ed that they burrowed in the earth be
low the frost line to reappear In May,
nnd I contended that they died of hun
ger and cold and that the crickets of
next year would be born of eggs de
posited In the grass. I stepped out
Into the back yard to make a prelimi
nary Investigation."
"But what do you care whether
crickets die off or not?' .
v"What did the world care whether
Stevcnsou Invented bis locomotive or
not? I am not caring so much for my
self, but for the generations that are
to come nfter mo. Tbe evenings have
grown cold. Wo have had frosts. If
the crickets burrow they nre burrow
ing now. If they turn up their toes It
ought to le ens? to find their dcn,d
botles in tbe graaa.
''Shan't we run Into Oroen's a little
while tonight? she arked to change
the subject.
"Not tonight We can run Into
Green's any time. It Is a still night,
with a touch of frost In tbe air. There
couldn't be n better night to Invest!
gnto the cricket problem. If I solve It
In the manner I exeet to, I waut to
write out my discovery and send It to
Un dally pnpers. I am now going to
tuko a little walk and may not be
tack for an hour or two,
"Very well, replied Mrs. Bowser In
resigned tones, 'realising thnt any ob
jections were useless.
Mr. Bowser put on his fnll ffvercont
and hat nnd took tip his cane and left
the bouse. As soon ns he got outeide
the gate he tried to look like a natu
ralist who was on the eve of a great
discovery, but he didnt make much of
a success nt It An old woman cams
nlong and stopped him and asked for a
nickel to buy tea with, and when be
refused It she stopped back nnd sflld:
"It Is such brewers ns you wKb tlM

"WelL I am that, and you get off.
You may be bunting for crickets, and
you may be hunting for geese, and you
can't g too soou to please me."
Mr. Bowser went. Tie realized that a
row In the neighborhood would dis
turb all tbe crickets for a mile around.
lie continued his walk for half a mile
and then turned aside from the street
again. There was no saloon In sight.
aud the nearest house was forty rods
away. He now caught the voices of at
least six crickets, and be paused to In
terpret them. As near as be could
mnke out half of them wanted hot
beef tea and woolen blankets, and the
other half wanted to borrow spade
and pickaxes to do their burrowing
with. He got down and lighted mors
mutches, and he was carefully paw
ing over the cold and brittle grass
when be beard a horse coming on a'
gntlop. He bad hardly straightened
himself up when a mounted policeman
bnlted beside him nnd asked:
"Who are yon and what are you do
ing here?"
"My nume's Bowser, and t was look
ing for crkkets."
"Don't try to guy me, old man. I
wnsn't born yesterday."

"Ob, yes, I have. I know a cricket
from an old vag the minute I set eyes
on hhn. You are coming along with

kept the crime wave going last sum
mer." Mr. Bowser fell back on his dlguity.
No go. Then ho tried bluff. Worse
yet Then ho accompanied the officer
back to the saloon and identified him
self and stated his object in such a
manner that the cop was finally con
strained to say:
"Well, I wouldn't have believed there
was a man fool enough to go hunting
crickets at night, but perhaps you are
all right except being a little cracked
In the bead. I'll see you home, nnd If
your wife has good sense shell keep
yon off the streets o' nights after this."
HAye, she'll have to." added the so
loonlst. "I'm sure the old cock was
after my flock of geese, no matter
what he says, and if be comes again
I'll Jump him seven feet high wiib n
chnrge of buckshot.'
Mr. Bowser wanted to ga home alone
but the officer was tnjttng no chances.
Ue nccoipanled him clear to the gate,
advising und warniug blm all tbe way.
aud be sut bin horse antll tbe doer
opened nnd closed again.
"Well," said Mrs. Bowser as she
looked up from her book, "have you
found out whether crickets burrow or

"We'll see our respective lawyers

ARTILLERY CURI0SITIES7

Among tbe curiosities of artlller;
odd inventions have a great place
cannon have ueen made of th mos

Trance shnll exclusively prolit by it

Btuves by the cooiiers, of almost bound
less caliber, but uncertain as t

Two small pieces brought to France

were tbe only aftlllery procurable foi
the stack on the Ilastllle of eccentric
model no doubt, adorned witb'dragont

In India.- There were two so de
scribed at Buroda in Burton's time,
"to which regular adoration was of
fcred." In fact, the tubes were ol
steel, but the massive gold casing cost
&XJ.U00.
For the defense of Malta In tbe old
duys tbe knights "Invented a kind ol
ordnance of their own, unknown to all
tbe world beside, says Brydone. an
eyewitness. They followed nut tbe nat
ural rock here and there In sucb fash
ion that the cavity was like a mortar,
put a barrel ot gunpowder Into the
bole, plugged it with a wooden disk
exactly fitting and heaped miscellane
ous projectiles thereupon. About fifty
of these singular cannon defended
creeks and landing places. Borne of
them were six feet In diameter and
threw 10.000 pounds weight of Iron or
stone Into the air. Doubtless if all
went well they would do tremendous
execution upon an enemy trying to
disembark.
- But there are eccentricities still more
curious on record. In a tomb on the
Island of Chlnal, near Usumaclntn,
Mexico, was found a cannon four feet
eleven inches long of terra cotta, with
terra cotta bullets. It Is suggested
that when Cortes retired after his
great flight at Ceutla, Tabasco, tbe na
tlvoa copied the Spanish guns in clay,
hoping to produce the same results.

Grsphio Description of a Climb Ovr

A climb over a volcanic Island In
Bering sea Is tbus described In Outing
Magazine by Itobert Dunn:
"Cliff sank away Into chaos. Up
right fans of tuffu, crevices like salt
crusted wounds, chasms with leprous
edges breathed all like mad. Less
steam, but more crinkly and venomous
gases. Parched white and red and
ocher in their depths, they socmed al
most to whistle yet they did not
whistle a furtive, ambient, high
pressure 'ZjsBsbo-ooo!' Was it. sound?
Then I would pause and catch only the
horrid, overburdened silence.
"Tbe thing' seemed more friendly.
Tho sulpbur no longer choked. You
could have passed a burning bunch of
miners' matches under my nose and I
would have gulped the fumes like
fresh air. But the Invisible venom
still belched out everywhere, secret
and furtive; now from jaws and
gashes four feet and more across, no
longer red yellow, but with fangs
crusted white or brilliant green and
bristling with rapier-like stalagmites.
11 eat tremors pulsed, as the whole
were a vast roof too close nnder tbe
eye of tbe sun. And below on tbe
blasted acre under tbe beak the pant
ing steam flashed out the supreme des
olationcrumbling, clinkery and over
parcbed; trailed away Its smear of the
dull rainbow bues of sulpbur from
grotesque mosaics. It was a pudding

Brain Growth.
The brain usually stops growing at
about fifty, and from sixty to seventy
It is more likely to decrease. It has
been related by Canon MacColl that
Mr. Gladstone's bead was constantly
outgrowing his bats. As late as the
Midlothian campaign, when he was
nearly seventy, he was obliged to have
bis bead remeasured for this reason.
Canon MacColl's conclusion that this
continual growth of brain contributed
to Mr. Gladstone's perennial youth ful
ness appears not unwarranted. Lou
