An extract from the London Chron
icle proves that the English can take
a Joke In a sportsmanlike way. v
The American opinion of coffee as
understood In the English home Is not
high, and how the coffee of the Eng
lish lodgings Is esteemed may be un
derstood from the following traveler's
tale: " .
It was his first morning In London
"apartments," and his landlady came
up with the breakfast, and as she set
down his coffee cup she opened a slight
conversation. ,
; "It looks like rain," she? said.
"It does," agreed the American, "and
It doesn't even smell unlike It"

They built nests in the surrounding
trees, and in a short time there were
some thirty young robins added to the

thus the American redbreast may be

Ing facts about the ventilation of the
great Simplon tunnel. The change
from steam to electric traction has not
altered the arrangements for ventila
tion. The two entrances, at Brlgue,
Switzerland, and Iselle, Italy, are cov
ered, except at the moment when a
train enters or leaves,' by huge cloth
icreens, which are automatically
raised and lowered by electricity. Two
electric fans, nearly ten feet in di
ameter, and making 350 turns per min
ute, drive air Into the tunnel at
Brigue at the rate of 1,000 liters per
second, and a similar station at Iselle
draws air from the tunnel. The air-

Carbon steels, manganese steel, and
steels containing tungsten and nickel,
each give a characteristic spark, of
different forms and colors, which are
easily distinguishable.. The form of
the BDark Dicture changes . with . the
quantity of carbon. Eyen so slight a
difference as .01 per cent ,of carbon,
Mr. Hermann savs. . can be detected In
this manner. Pointed branching Un.es
denote carbon steel; tool steel shows
the appearance of "blossom" on the
branches; tungsten steel gives red
streaked rays and shining points,
"with lltle balls thrown out of the
formation," and "an explosion appear

It Took Possession of the House
When the Family Was Away.
The placidity of the cow has been
a proverb for all time. That she is
endowed with a good bump of the
"curiosity that killed a cat" a subur
banite learned to his sorrow one day
this summer.
Mr. Blank lives in the east end with
his family of wife and five children,
the Louisville Times says. They have
a cow that Is a pet. having been raised
from babyhood and now furnishing all
the lacteal fluid and by-products used
by the family.
Not so long since, after Blank had
come In town for the day, Mrs. Blank
took the children and went for a day s
outing to a neighboring suburb? leav
lne the house (supposedly) carefully
closed and the cow In her" stable. But
missing familiar forms and the sounds
of domestic activity, she grew lone
some and managed to escape the ln
closure and came Into the yard and
proceeded to Investigate. She climbed
the steps to the back porch, consumed
three loaves of bread left by the bak
er's bov. She succeeded In getting the
kitchen door open, where she devoured
all but the granlteware part of a three
pound crock of butter.
Her appetite still unappeased, she
also ate the fancy paper off the
shelves, and In so doing pulled flown
all the tinware and scattered It about
the floor. She could not work the
combination on the Ice-box, so moved
on through the dining room Into the
sitting room. Mr, Blank had the day
befor Durchased four new shirts at
$1.60 ' each, and these had been sent
home and were left In a' bundle on
the couch. She "considered" these, ate
all but a few fragments, and went on
her way. She wrecked chairs, and
ven a bed. and upset the contents
of tables by pulling at and eating the
covers.
When the family came back late
that evening an affectionate "moo" of
weiMim rreeted them from the cow,
her head thrust through the parlor
window. Mr. Blank said It took ten
men and a derrick to get the cow out
nf th' house, and the cost of repairing
damages would purchase enough milk
and butter for the family for a year,
"sans care." There's a cow for sale;
she's no longer a big bit in the fam
ily. ?
