M"-H"I" GOOD Short g' tories i .4..t..H I I -K -m At Waterloo, Lord Anglesey wa standing close to the Duko of Welling ton when ho received his wound. Lord Anglesey turned to tho Duke, and said: "By a , I have lost my leg!" "Havo you? By G 1" said the Duke, still gazing at Uie bnttlo. "Farming? I know wlint It Is," de clares Representative Fred Landls, of IndlfUin; "father nnd five of us hoys used to work all tho yenr round to rnlso stuff to feed live horses. Finally two of the horses died, and that en ablcd Charley and myself to got away from tho farm and come to Congress." "Eternity," said tho country ex hortcr, who wanted to mako things clear, "Is forever and forever, and llvo or six everlastings on top of that. Why, hrothors and sisters, after mil lions and billions of centuries had roll ed nwoy In eternity, It would still be a hundred thousand years to breakfast tlmo." The all-night and next-day habits of tho lato Phil May, tho artist, havo fur nished material for many a story. Joo Taplcy, the singer, tells that ho came across May one night, and heard that the latter had not been to bed for four nights and days. Ho remonstrated, nnd May said: "Never mind, Joo, we'll mako a bargain; don't you loso any sleep on my account, and I promlso that as soon as I feel tired Til go to bed!" Rudolph Elckomeycr, Jr., was out In a field, near a hay-stack, with his cam era, when John Kendrlck Bangs hap pened along and asked him, In sur prise, what there was thero worth photographing. "Just you como over hero and look at tho reflection on my ground glass and you will seel" re sponded Elckomeycr, with such artis tic fervor that Bangs ventured over nnd put his head under tho cloth. "Ah, now I seel" sold Mr. Bangs, gravely; "tho hay-stuck Is standing upside down I" Major Lacey, of Iowa, and Senator Alger, of Michigan, are very much allko In appcurunce, and are often mistaken for each other. So striking Is tho resemblance that Speaker Reed made It the subject for ono of his witticisms. It was at tho time that Alger's conduct ns Secretary of War wiiB being Investigated, that Reed, stepping up to tho member from Iowa, and putting his arm over his shoul der, said: "Lucey, you look so much like Secretary Alger that I always think, when I see you, that you ought to bo whitewashed." Professor Phelps, who disliked math ematics, was on co walking with Pro fessor Newton, who began discussing n pr.iblcm so deep that his companion could not follow It He fell Into a brown study, from which ho was aroused by Newton's emphatic asser tion, "and that, you see, gives us xl" "Does It?" asked Mr. Phelps, politely. "Why, doesn't It?" exclaimed the Pro fessor, excitedly, alarmed at tho possi bility of a (law lu his calculations. Quickly his mind ran back nnd detect ed n mistake. "You are right, Mr. Phelps. You arc right!" shouted tho Professor. "It doesn't give us x; It gives us y." And from that tlmo Pro fessor Phelps was looked upon ns a mathematical prodigy, tho 11 rut man who over tripped Newton. FISH ARE SHIPPED ALIVE. Bent to .Market In ua Lively a Con Ultloii as When I'lrat Cuuirht. Fresh llsh from nearly every part of tho world nro obtainable in any of tho lurgcr murkets. In fact, tho demand for dead llsh Is rapidly decreasing, epi cures dcmnndlni; that they bo In the enjoyment, of kooiI health and spirits' almost up to tho niomont they aro dropped into tho frying pan. A novel apparatus for tho carrlngo of live Huh has Just been lnvontod by Dr. N. Von Lorcnz, of Murlenbrun, Aus tria, which Is called the hydroblon. Tho device Is based upon tho Injection of oxygen Into the water, contained lu tanks, during tho transportation. Tho oxygen injector Is placed at tho bot tom of tho transportation tauk, which Is tilled with water and fish. This oxy gen injector Is composed of u steel cylinder containing comprensed oxygon gas. When tho cock, which Is a hori zontal disk provided with apertures, in opened, the oxygen is allowed to escapo through a reduction valve. Tho oxy gen then paHscs through a regulating vulvo attached to tho reduction valve, and thence through a rubber tubo into tho oxygen distributor. This latter U composed of a diaphragm of inorganic mntorlal Btretchcd across a porous cyl Indrlcal tubo, The gas, after coming Into this tubo or distributor, 1h Immediately diffused and bubbles up through tho water con taining tho llsh. Thcso bubbled ascend very slowly toward tho surface and become dissolved therein to an extent thut depends largely upon their ascen sional velocity and the degree of gas eous snturntlon in the water. Tho non utilized excess escapes ut tho surface This solution of oxjkcii in the water, which 1h obtained with a minimum comiumptlon of gas, Is what keeps tho fish alive, und is constantly being re newed as It is consumed by tho latter. The pructlcal manipulation of tho hydroblon Is so sltnplo that It can be Intrusted to any porson of ordlnury In telligence. All that hits to be done by the person In charge Is to turn on the cock and tuko tho apparatus by Its two handles and place It at tho bottom ot the tank containing the fish. It Is, of course, necessary to regulato the device according to the amount of wa ter in the tank and the number of llsh contained therein, and according to the amount of oxygen consumed by the various kinds of fish. Finally, it is necessary also to regulate tho capacity of oxygen according to the time to bo consumed in tho transportation. The Inventor has calculated all such data for most varieties of flsh, which in all likelihood may be transported, so that the person employing the apparatus has only to follow once fo? iall the indications determined by the Inventor.
