TILLAMOOK HUIADLIQHT, JULY 6. 1911 ! PETER PINDAR’S RUSE. SEARCHLIGHT RAYS. It Enabled the Astute Author to Drive a Good Bargain. Some time about the beginning of the nlueteertb century Peter Pindar (Dr. John Wolcott) drove a good bargain with the publishers. Robinson A ¡Walker. While negotiations were under way the author developed an attack of asthma, which was always at its imvst distressing stage whenever the publishers were present. He was only fifty-vevsn then, but the publishers de cided that their chances were good and «creed to pay him a annuity of ¿250 instead of a lump sum for his work I Soon after the bond was signed the ■doctor went to Cornwall, where be re covered bis health, and returned to London without any cough, which was far from being a pleasing slgbt to the persons who bad to pay bis annuity. One day be called upon Mr. Walker, the manager for the parties, who. sur veying him with a scrutinizing eye. asked him how he did. "Much better, thank you,” said Wv^>tt. "I have taken the measure of my asthma: the felldw Is troublesome, but I know bis Strength and am his master.” “Oh!” said Mr. Walker gravely, and turned Into an adjoining room, where Mrs. Walker, a prudent woman, bad been listening to the conversation. ■ Wolcott, aware of the feeling, paid a keen at- tentiou to the busband and wife and lieard the latter exclaim: "There, now, didn’t I tell you be wouldn’t die? Fool that you've been! 1 knew be wouldn’t le. »» Th. Effect When th. Beam. Penetrsts ■ F»9gy Atmosphere. Nearly everybody ia famjliar with the beam of a searchlight and known why the beam is visible, while light Itself cannot be seen unless it strikes the eye. its visibility being due to par ticles tn the air which really do reflect the light to the eye. On a foggy night. If one will notice, the beam seems to come abruptly to an end If the light is pointed upward. It does this Instead of gradually fading away Into nothing, as it does pointed hori zontally on a uniformly foggy night. The thing is rather puzzling to one first seeing it. bnt the reason ia not far to seek. Where the end of the beam seems to be there la the place the fog ends, for the beam cannot be visible to us unless there are small particles in its path. This Is of great help to sail ors In Judging of the state of the weather, for they can tell exactly how thick the frqg is, or. rather, how deep It Is. They can also tell by throwing the light horizontally whether the fog is universal or occurring only in patches, for if extending to a great distance the beam gradually gets dimmer aud dim mer. but If in patches the beam is lighter in patches, and if it goes through a place with no fog at all that part of the beam Is black or invisible. —New York Tribune. — Peter Pindar survived both the part- iers.—New York Post. CAUGHT ON THE BOUNCE The Parson’s Second Barrel Play on the Wounded Ducks. When the night wind whines about the gunning cabin nestled in the beach bills the hearts within grow reminis cent. [ “The best canvasback shooting I ever had was down off the mouth of Crazy Inlet,” said the parson. “A ripping Northeaster was blowing, and I was lut on the end of the point alone. The lucks came down wind along the edge bf the shoal, and they were so far |way that It was Just impossible to kill them outright I could have had a hundred shots that day, they catne so' thick, but I let a lot of them go by. kt dark I had picked up twenty-two birds.
