A POPULAR FALLACY.-
Fa.ll In Temperature of Ocean Dom
Sot
Indicate Presence of Ice.
For many years an opinion existed
anion;? seamen and others that a fall in
the sea-surfnee temperature implied
nearness of ice. Nothing', says the
Xentical Magazine, can be more remote
from the truth, though shore folk st HI
perpetuate this fiction in books and
newspapers. A sudden fall in sea
s,urfaee temperature is likely near the
Agfulhas, ihe Japanese current, the gulf
Mr-earn, while runningthe Easting down
in the South Indian ocean, in the South
Atlantic about 40 degrees south, 40 de
crees west, and elsewhere; and this,
whether iceberg's be near or hundreds
of miles away. Capt. S. T. S. Liecky, It.
Jf. It., to whom the nautical profession
is indebted for his "Wrinkles in Prac
tical Navigation," was probably the
first to draw the attention of his breth
ren to this fact. In the ninth edition of
his book he points out that "allied to
fog 5s the question of danger from ice.
It is a popular delusion among passen
gers on board ship that, by taking the
temperature of the water at short in
tervals, the approach to ice is unfailing
ly indicated. Unfortunately such is by
no means the fact, and it is time the idea
was exploded. More than ordinarily
trrsld water merely shows that the ship is
in a part of the 'ocean where ice may
possibly be encountered, and not that
it is aemaly present." Shipmasters of
repute freely- confess, with Capt. Evans,
of the Tainui. Uiat they have "never
found sea temperature fall lower when
near ice than when several miles away"
from the danger.
Strawberry Marmalade,
Put six quarts of well-cleaned straw
ljerries in a preserving kettle, add
six teaspoonfulB of lemon juice and
boil without a cover about 30 min
utes, then add four pounds of sugar,
and boil five minutes. Then fill into
jars. Raspberries are made the same
way. If the strawberries are wanted
sweeter, you can take six pounds of
sugar instead of four, also the lemon
may be omitted. Brooklyn lieader.

there is something wrong. The waste ia

STRIVING lO PLtASE.
A Showman Who M rs Willing; to Do
More Than Most Would Do.
I always strive to please," remarked
the dramatic editor, as he scratched the
words ."big thing" out of tae advance
notice he was writing and substituted
"megatherian aggregation."
"Thanks, 1 am sure," saiti ilic ad
vance agent, as he read over the ten
lines the dramatic critic was giving
him, and carefully put back into his
pocket the half-column notice he had
first drawn on the d. c.
"I presume," smiled the d. c, "that
you always strive to please, too, don't
you?"
"Not always," in a semidisappointed
tone, "but I used to have a friend who
did. He really was the most self-denying
chap I ever saw, and what he
wouldn't do to please an audience
wasn t worth doing."
"Where is he now?"
"Dead." vas,
"Dead?"
"Yes, it killed him. It was this way :
e was in tne pyrotecnnic Drancn oi
he dramatic art, and used to give shows
one of those imitation Coney islands
o be louna on nearly every sanuoar
n nearly every river tributary to the
Mississippi, lie had been the origin
ator of the fireworks feature at this
place, and his phenomenal success had
made- him so proud that he would
poner have died than had a failure.
ne Fourth of July he was going to
give the grandest display of his life,
and the feature in the biggest letters
on the bill -ivas a set piece a hundred
feet high, with an enormous ballocn
loaded with fireworks to go up from
the top as a grand finale. 1 here were
ten times as many people there that,
night as there had ever been, and my
friend was feeling so good you could
see it in his walk.
Everybody was on edge, too, for the
giand blaze of glory the management
had been advertising for weeks, and
when, promptly at the hour of ten
o'clock, my friend strutted forth like
a peacock to set off the great display
with his own hand there was a round
of applause, followed by a dead r.ilenee
as the audience sat breathless watch
ing for the burst of blazing glory. J!ut
somehow it didn't burst. The prol'es
sor -fired the train and retreated to a
safe place, but the powder wouldn't
burn. -It fizzled and went out, instead.
Once, .twice, thrice, it fizzled, sputtered
and went out, and then the crowd began
to growl and guy, as crowds always
will, and the professor began to get
wild.
Several other attempts to set the
piece off were no more successful, and
at last, with a smothered scream of
crazy rage, he shot up the ladder of the
tower to its very top, where he had a
platform stered with all sorts of in
flammable and explosive things, ar
ranged to go off at the proper time.
He stood there a moment silhouetted
against the sky, the crowd indulging
in gibes and jeers, with now and then
a threat as to what he might expect
if he would only come down to the
ground. This was his time to show
what he could do to please his audience,
and in a minute, and before anybody
had any- idea what he would do next, he
caught up an armful of the explosives
about him, fastened them to his clothes,
and hung wreaths and ring's over his
neck and shoulders, and setting the
whole thing afire, he swung out into
the air in the balloon, which was al
ready tugging at its anchor.
"As the balloon shot up, it was a ter
rific sight, and the poor devil's shrieks
added to the intensity of the scene, al
ready lurid with red and blue lights,
while the air was filled with all manner
of bursting bombs and crashing ex
plosives. Women fainted, men ran
helplessly about shouting, and still the
baiioon swept upward with its fiery
freight -and passenger, until when it
had reached a point about a thousand
feet above the earth, it caught fire and
the whole burning mass shot like a
blazing ball straight to the ground.
"You will be safe in betting thosepeo
ple never saw such an exhibition as that
before, nor will ever again in all proba
bility, and when it was over," concluded
the agent, "the audience seemed to re
alize what the professor had done to
please them, and they chipped in and
built him a monument where he fell,
having on it, besides his name and the
proper dates, no other inscription ex
cept 'He Strived to Please.' "
The dramatic critic was at least half
a minute in recovering his speech after
the recital of this remarkable tale, and
before he could ask any questions the
advance agent had folded his tent like a
circus and stolen away to the office of
the next dramatic critic he had to call
upon. Washington Star.
Sentence of Pries .
At Prague, in Bohemia, nine priests
have been sentenced to from 15 days'
to two months' imprisonment and to
pay heavy fines for having acted ilk
gaily during the last elections. Sev
eral priests were arrested on the spot,
while those who took to flight were
pursued by socialists, who stormed
buildings in which they took refuge.
