~They were two comediuns and they
were stuck in Wilkesbarre, with Scran-

~Count the house,� said Hanley.
They emptied their pockets, and
found that by squeezing .a cent or two
they could buy one ticket to Scranton,
they then conceived a plan for traveling
at the rate of two ona ticket. When
the conductor came through the car two
bands, firmly clasping one pasteboard,
were held up to him. |
«ThereTs only one ticket here,TT said
the conductor grufily.

oThatTs mine,� said his companion,
with equal emphasis.
~See here,� said the conductor, oyou

me off it you dare.�
oWell, youTve got to get off at the
next station,� said the eunductor vigor-
eusly"~~one of you, at least,�
The next station passed, and the
next, but no conductor appeared to
trouble the two men with but a single
ticket. When Scranton was reached
the couple sought out the conductor
and tola nim ifhe would accompany
them to the hotel they would make
good the missing tare.
That's ail right,� he said. oYou

tains an editorial on the evidences of
present prosperity among the farmers.
The Bulletin says: oWhile everybody

really enjoying better times than they
have ever been. ~They are less in aebt,
have a plenty to live on and have better
opportunities and advantages than

Paper Artillery to he Used by the

To add to the number of astonishing
things that ure made of paper, Krupp,
the great German manutacturer of
cannons, has lately completed a number
of paper field"pieces for the use of the
German infantry. Their calibre is five
eentimetres, or a little less than two
inches, and the pieces are so light that
a soldier can easily carry one. But
the resistance is greater than that of a
field"piece of steel of the same calibre,
It is not expected that these paper guna
will replace those of steel. ~They are

Faise Earthquake Predictions.
Predictions of: a sensational char.
acter in regard to the weather may
do little harm. The self constituted
prophet outside the regular meteor-
ological bureau is, however, always
a fraud. But the man who foresees
an earthquake may do a great deal
of. mischief. The bulletin of the
American Geographical society
prints this:
Professor Falb of Vienna inflicted
grievous injury upon Athens in 1894
by predicting that the city would
suffer severely from the earthquake
on May 5.� Nearly every one who
could ~0 so fled from the city, and
there was indeed great sufiering,
caused, however, entirely. by Falb,
for there was no earthquake: Globus
(volume 70, No. 1) says that another
of his mischievous prophecies threw
Valparaiso, Chile, into a sad state of
terror in March, 1896, He predicted
one of his ~~vritical days�T for March
29, and for several days
all the trains were crowded with
fugitives bound for the mountains.T
The number of fugitives was about
