FLOATING A TOWN AWAY.
Story of the Origin of Commercial
Street In Provincetown.
Commercial street in Provincetown
had an origin in keeping with its pres
ent nautical air and appeal to the im
agination. The town originally stood
on the spit of sand far out across the
harbor, where the lighthouse now Is.
Many years ago the government
bought Provincetown, houses and all,
in order to protect the harbor from the
threatening nca. The I'rovlncetownlans
went to the government people and
asked what they were going to do with
the houses.
"Pull 'em down, of course," said the
government
"Can't we have 'em?" inquired the
late owners.
"Sure," replied the government, "If
you'll take 'em away."
"Sure!" echoed the Provincetownians.
Old wreckers that they were, they
applied their technic to the problems of
house moving. They bulkheaded their
dwellings up, necklaced empty casks
about them in the way of life preserv
ers, and one sunny morning the village
of Provincetown. true to its maritime
traditions, set sail, schoolhouse and all.
and came floating gayly across the har
bor to where it now stands. Near the
railway track today they point out a
certain store as the original seafaring
school boose. Metropolitan Magazine.
THE CURIOUS SNAIL
This Creature Can five Without Air,
Water or Nourishment.
While the snail has longs, heart and
a general circulation and is in every
respect an air breathing creature, it
ran nevertheless exist indefinitely with
out inhaling the least breath of air. the
element that is usually considered the
essential to existence in all creatures
supplied with lungs.
"To all organized creatures," said
Leppert, "the removal of oxygen, wa
ter, nourishment and beat causes death
to ensue." When that statement was
made Leppert did not appear to con
sider the snail as one among the great
host of "organized beings," for experi
ments by Spallanzani have proved that
any or all the usual life conditions can
be removed in the case of the snail
without terminating its existence or in
any way impairing its functions.
The common snail retreats into his
shell on the approach of frosty weath
er, and the opening or mouth of its
shell is hermetically sealed by a secre
tion which is of a silky texture and
absolutely impervious to air and water.
In this condition it is plain that it la
deprived of three of the four elements
of life mentioned above air, water and
nourishment. Harper's Weekly.
Statue .With Umbrella.
Some poor art is to be seen in this
country in the shape of statues dedi
cated to the memory of great men, but
no American enormity in this line quite
equals that which was perpetrated by
an English sculptor for the town of
Reading. When the fellow townsmen
of a certain George Palmer of that place
derided to honor his memory they de
termined upon a bronze statue of Pal
mer, which should be not merely a
portrait as to features, but a correct
presentment of him a he appeared
among them every d.iy. Accordingly,,

"And should I have company on the

A NEW
TIN PAN
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1912, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
It was a beautiful June forenoon
when a tin peddler approached the vil
lage of Harrison.
He stopped his rig at the first house.
The bouse belonged to Deacon Rnxh.
On the back steps, seated side by wide,
were the deacon's wife and her nearest
neighbor and best friend Mrs. Burt
"Tinware, ladles?" he asked. "Every
thing new and bright Finest milk pan
In the country for only 10 cents."
"I've always paid 15 tents for milk
pans." replied the deacon's wife.
"Yes. and I've sold 'em as high as 18.
but they have got a new way of mak
ing 'em. and I'm giving you the benefit
of It I'll bring one in."
The pan arrived, new and shiny,
and stood ail the tests it was put to.
No leaks, and It would almost serve as
a mirror. A dime was borrowed to pay
for it, and after a little more talk it
was left on the steps while Its owner
made a call at another bouse and the
deacon's wife entered her own to make
up the bed that had been airing.
Now came the cow. She belonged to
a man at the other end of the village.
There was grass In plenty, but she
longed for garden truck. She leaped
the back fence and helped herself. In
her stepping about she approached the
kitchen door and saw that new pan.
She saw the reflection of her face
and became astonished and indignant
A crop eared, one homed critter gazed
at her in a defiant manner, nnd ns xhe
was a bovine that bad never taken a
bluff she bumped up ber back and
sailed in.
An hour later Mrs. Burt came back
after her pan, and her first yell
brought the deacon's wife out of the
bouse. There lay the once shapely
and shiny pan in the dirt trodden as
flat as a pancake. It might do to stop
a bog bole in the back fence, but no
artisan could never mold it into a pan.
"Lands alive!" exclaimed Mrs. Burt
"Mercy on me!" exclaimed Mrs. Rush.
"That cow did it!"
"She must have!"
"And you let her.m
"Sarah Burt don't you say anything
like that to me! I didn't know there
was a cow in the garden."
"But you ongbt to have known. If
you'd keep your fences Ii'.:e other folks
the cows couldn't get in. Look at that
pan that cost me 10 cents an hour
ago!"
"Was I to sit out here and watch
It?" protested the deacon's wife.
"Yon ought to have heard the cow
when she was tromping It"
"Yon ought to have taken It home
or carried It along with you."
"That's nothing to do with it It
was left here, and it's destroyed, and
I'll be switched If I ever pay you the
10 cents."'
"If yon don't 111 sue yon!"
"Yon dasn'tr
There it was. yon see the first real
quarrel between neighbors the village
had had in many long years. The
happy minded peddler and the fighting
cow disappeared from the scene, but
the quarrel remained. It did more than
that The news spread and within two
hours Mrs. Henderson was saving:
"Mrs. Burt shouldn't try to lay the
blame off on Mrs. Rush. When a wo
man's busy making a bed she ain't
thinking of cows, I hope Mrs. Rush
sues for the 10 cents."
And In the house right across the
street Mrs. HoIIIday was saying:
"I'd let her sue and be hanged to
her! When a new 10 cent milk pan
Is left on my back steps by a neighbor
ifs my duty as a Christian woman to
go out there every few minntes and
see that it's all right . I shall certain
ly advise Mrs. Burt not to pay the
10 cents."
By the next day the village was
about equally divided on the question,
though some few were Inclined to blame
neither the peddler nor cow. It was sll
talk for a day or two. and then came
action. The factions no longer bor
rowed nor lent They bowed stiffly to
each other or not at all on the street
They revived gossip that had been
dead fifteen years and rolled It under
their tongues. Carried Into the church
es? Of course It was. When a thing
like that gets started in a village
there's no telling where It will end. It
drew the elders and deans and two
ministers In. cd it e.t.1 r- attend
ance at sermons and prayer meetings
mighty slim. To all peacemakers the
deacon's wife would reply:
"I wasn't set here on this earth to
look out foe other folks' milk pans, and
I Jest won't do it!
And the reply of Mrs. Burt would be:
"She ought to have-kit .ti about the
cow. and I'll never pay that cents!"
It was a quarrel and a div.s:tr that
lasted five years and might have aone
on for another five but for providence
taking a hand In the game. A
tramp who had the measles headed
that way, and he simply handed the
town an epidemic Not a score of
people were spared. While none died,
all went to bed to be doctored and to
do a heap of thinking, and the result
was that as fast as they could crawl
out they eased their consciences by
confessing their errors and usking for
forgiveness.
"Here Is the 10 cents." said Mrs.
Burt as she tottered over to the dea
con's as soon as she could stand.
"Sarah. I don't want it" was the re
ply. "These measles have made me
see that I ought to have watched that
milk pan."
And the village of Harrison loved
Itself and Its neighbor again.
MURKY GREEN PETROLEUM.
Processes by Which It Is Converted
Into Refined Oil. '
In its original state petroleum Is of a
murky green color. It is distilled In
pans with great furnace blazing be
neath tbem, and as the vapors arise
from the boiling liquid they are con
veyed into pipes surrounded by cold
water In which tbey are condensed.
The first vapors condense Into naph
tha and those produced by further
heating give the burning oil. A very
small percentage of the crude oil put
Into the puns or stills remalus in the
form 6f tnr. which by another process
Is converted Into paraffin and coke.
After distillation the refined oil Is no
longer green, but is as transparent as
spring water and beautifully tinged
with purples and blues. It Is not yet
ready for use, however, since It must
be "washed." The fluid Is emptied into
a large circular tank in which it Is
treated with acids, these being poured
In and mixed with it by means of pow
erful pressure from beneath.
When it has been well shuken It is
allowed to settle, and the adds then
separate from it and sink to the bot
tom of the tank, taking with tbem
some of the tar that remained In the
olU
The acids are then removed and the
oil Is -washed with salt water.' Finally
It is bleached, and it is then ready for
' the market Harper's Weekly.
TIGER PROOF HOMES.
Malay . Houses, Frail and Flimsy,
8ometimes Perch In Tree Tops,
The ordinary Malay bouse Is built on
posts from fire to seven feet high, but
one which I came across was perched
high up In a tree. It was the home of
a man. his wife and family, and tbey
Informed roe that It was placed In thU
unusual situation so as to be out of the
way of the uumerous tigers which then
Infested the neighborhood.
As tigers have been known to Jump
eighteen feet in vertical height some
where about twenty feet Is considered
to be the limit of safety. The Malayan
bouse is a frail and flimsy structure of
sticks tied together with rattan thatch
ed with palm leaves and walled with
plaited bamboo or, as in this case, with
the bark of trees.
It Is therefore an easy matter for a
tiger with its great strength to break
Into a house and attack the inhabitants.
Many instances of this have been re
corded In Malaya. In one well known
case a whale family were killed except
one man. who, climbing up into the
roof and thus escaping the notice of
the tiger, was a horrified observer of
the cruel mauling and ultimate slaugh
ter and devouring of his relatives.

Life Without Microbes.
Microbes are not indispensable to all
life If they are indispensable to any.
The question has been definitely set
tled. A cage completely sterilized at
90 , degrees was made and the open
ings of the cage closely stopped with
cotton and protected from the outside
by a hermetically closed metallic cham
ber. Such manipulations as were nec
essary In opening the cage were made
by bands guarded by aseptic rubber
cloth. Into such a sterilized cage three
hens' eggs were placed after having
been externally sterilized. The cage
was fitted with a glass pavilion or
chicken run. where the chickens could
develop during their six weeks' sojourn
in the. cage. In the cage were sterilized
air. pure water, sterilized sand and
sterilized feed. The experiment showed
that life does not depend npon mi
crobes, but that the vital work of the
organism Is easy and natural when
everything Is sterilized. Harper's.
Relics of Pillories.
Though the pillory has been abolish
ed, there are still to be found In vari
ous parts of rural England relics of
this old time method of punishment
One of the most complete examples
may be seen within a few miles of the
metropolitan border. In the pictur
esque village of Roydon. Essex, not
only are the old stocks and whipping
post still preserved, but close beside
thf.m stands also the wooden "cage"'
in which the roysterer of bygone days
was incarcerated. Is there another
such Interesting trio of punitive relics
to be found elsewhere in England?
