Novelists arc often blamed for a too frequent use of coincidence in their works of fiction, yet in real life nothing is so common as pence. Here is a little one that hap- to me last week and it an- me somewhat while it lasted. And this reminds me that novelists are perfectly justified in using co- incidences in their books, they are not justified in telling what is not true about the actions of an cent or a guilty man. You have doubtless read a thousand limes that a man who is innocent is as bold as a lion, and he looks you straight in the face, and generally acts the re- verse of guilty. How often have we seen it on the stage, that the hero smites his breast and appeals to heaven, whereupon everybody in tho knows that he is innocent, and applauds loudly. The guilty person, on the other hand, is sup- posed lo shrink, to stammer and to tell awkward lies, which nobody would think of believing. My experience is that in real life the cases are exactly reversed. It is the liar that looks you straight in the face. It is the innocent man who blushes and cannot account for his actions. Now the coincidence in this little true story, which I am about to re- late, happened At any other time in the week a telegraph mes- might have come and gone without my being troubled in the least, but it just chanced that at the moment he did come the one person in the world to whom his message seemed shaky, and to whom I was bound to give some reasonable ex- was sitting in my office, tired out after the afternoon's shop- ping. A telegraph boy rapped at the door, and I He came in. Now, a telegraph messenger looks important. He costs more than a postage stamp. A letter might have been handed in to me, and it would created no comment, but when this messenger boy handed his yellow envelop the person who satin my room naturally wanted to know what it was all about, and I, being perfectly innocent, opened the en- There dropped from It one of my own cards, and across the face of the card was written the address of the office, evidently in my own hand- writing. I dimly remembered given a card to somebody some days before, but to whom I could not recollect. As the messenger boy stood there waiting, I turned the card over. The person, who might have been somewhere else, but who was there, was looking over my shoulder. On the other side of the card was writ- ten in a neat, delicate, feminine hand the call before four this afternoon. Everything is all This was signed and that was all. There was silence in the room for a moment. I knew that a look of guilt was creeping over my face, along with the perplexity that bad been there from the beginning. I turned the card hopelessly over and in my hand. said the person at my el- bow. who is that message from What's going to be all my I answered, have not the slightest Is your was next as- I answered, still and looking hopelessly at it. you wrote the address across the face of I admitted. certainly is my you don't know from whom it is Think a moment.

I cried out don't you answer the question, boy Who gave you this The boy answered This was a knock-down blow for me. I had never heard of Miss and was perfectly prepared to swear to that fact, but the time for swearing, except in one way, was past. I saw that I would not be believed now on my oath. Nevertheless I cried out a the Old Harry is Miss Ken The boy is the money clerk at the Surrey street post Then I flung down the card with a great sigh of relief. I remembered all about it. I must now go to a row I had with the post office of Great Britain. An author in the United States wrote me a letter, a postal order for four shillings and two pence. He asked mo to be good enough to buy him English postage stamps to that amount and send, over to him. He had out, what many American authors have apparently yet to learn, that American postage stamps are of no use in England, and, as ho wished to try some on a number of Brit- publications, he wished to able to English postage stamps for their return. I went to the post office named on the order, and the clerk there took down from a pigeon hole a sheaf of papers, and hastily looked them over. can't pay this order. The notice has not yet been I said, somewhat hastily, backwards and forwards from my office to this place. When is it likely to don't was the answer. you can pay the order into your bunk, it will be why can't you cash it I said. you can cash it for the bank, you may just as well let me have the money. It's only a small Nevertheless I could not get the money, and I left, making some re- marks derogatory to the postal order system. Three days later I returned to the post office, whatever document it was that should have arrived had not yet come in. was somewhat an- and did not make any attempt to conceal my opinion of the state of things. Again that irritating remark was made that I could pay it into my banking account. hang I said, I haven't a barking account. Sup- posing this money was sent to keep me from starvation, I have to starve to death because some stupid official neglected hi business Your document should have arrived at least at the same time as mine But tho beauty of the British post office department is that it does not care a hang for anybody, and I sup- pose that everybody there thought it rather funny that I should imagine that the department existed for the convenience of the public. Anyhow I pulled out my card, dashed my ad- dress across it, flung it on the and am not going to fool away any more time coming here. When you have that money ready for me, send me word, and I'll come and get The moral of this true story is, that a man should never lose his temper any circumstances, even when he has dealings with the money-order office of Great Britain, for if had not left that card, I would not have spent an able ton minutes when the telegraph messenger brought it in, after I had forgotten all about Free Press.

Sew York the Outer of This Who Are the Stay, of the Paper. The business of joke making and short-verse writing is a trade in it- self and has its center in New York, says the Now York Advertiser. In almost every city or large town there are one or two bright wits who have cracked some exceptional jokes comic paper has printed and paid for. In many a place there is some local punster whose efforts are pride of his narrow circle. But only in Now York does this work center itself. When I speak of joke writing as a business with some mean it literally. There is a coterie of about forty writers, most of whom live in New York, who do nothing but write for the comic pa- They do not wait for a happy inspiration, but make the come to them. They write jokes and verso for their living, and with some of them it is a very good indeed. These are tho men the comic papers depend upon for most of their material, and at least ten of them make from forty to eighty dollars a week joke Some of these are well known to the general public from their names over verses or short sketches. But some of them again, who write mere- short are known only to the editor. It is no uncommon thing for any- one of these men to turn out from to jokes new, war- ranted not to a week, and bits of verse. Tho professional joke writer frequently sits down without an idea in his bead. Some turn of speech comes to writes down bis joke on a small rectangular bit of paper, just tho size to slip into envelope conveniently. That joke or his train of thought suggests an- other, and on he goes until in two hours he may have written twenty- five jokes. Then the business part of it comes In. By a system of special book- keeping he enters tho head of each joke in a book and places opposite the title the paper to which the joke is sent. As a gene thing he will put twenty-five squibs which he has just finished in an envelope with an and directed inside, start the package on its tour around the world of humor. He sends it first to the paper which pays the highest price end then in regular order from weekly to week- until he has exhausted the list gotten down to where they pay as little as fifteen per starvation price for the professional humorist. Suppose the first paper to whom he sent the package took three jokes. When the others came back he checks off the three as and if the paper in question pays acceptance and most of them do to the leading writer. The rest he sends to tho second paper, which may perhaps take four. The remaining jokes are again checked off and the package star led again. There are as many as twenty-five papers and periodic- which pay for original so that the humorist has an excellent chance of getting rid of all the jokes of a series at some price. Of course, he is continually sending out new batches to the first paper on his list and thence to the others, so that his name and his humor are continually before the editors. Some Curious Trees. There are many vegetable won- in this world of ours. Certain tropical trees furnish clothes as well as food, and the inner bark of others is smooth and flexible enough for writing paper. The bread tree has a solid fruit, a little larger than a which when cut in slices and cooked can scarcely be from excellent bread. The weeping of the Canary islands is wet, even in a drought constantly distilling water in its leaves, and the wine tree of Mauritius island fur- good wine instead of water. A kind of ash in Sicily has a sap which hardens into sugar and is used as such by the natives without any refining. The product of the wax tree in the Andes resembles bees- wax very closely. Then there is the butter of Africa, which pro- as much as a hundred pounds at once, only to be renewed in a few This secretion when hard- and salted is difficult to from fresh, sweet butter. Closely rivaling this is the milk tree of South America, the sap of which resembles rich cow's milk and is used as such by the natives. China can boast of a soap tree, the seeds of which when used as soap, produce strong suds and remove dirt and grease readily. In direct opposition to these trees is the man-eat- plant of the tropics, which re- fly-trap in its It has a short thick trunk armed with narrow, flexible, barbed spines. AN INFERNAL MACHINE. An Alarm Clock That Could and Did Alarm. Hut the Trouble That It Want OS t Wrong Time and lo the Street Car Episode. When Snaffles got married, he moved up to to live. He hired a flat and bought a brass lamp with a pink shade, a glazed-paper clock with an imitation bronze sol- on the top of it, and secured on the installment plan a red plush consisting of a rock- a sofa and two smaller chairs. But Harlem is a good dis- from street, and as Snaffles is a good sleeper he found it necessary to hasten his toilet and his breakfast in order not to be late at his office. His wife finally suggested that a glazed paper clock, even if it did have a soldier top, was of small use if it could not get Snaffles out of bed in the morning, and she added that an alarm clock would be of more ice in their household. And so when Snaffles wont to luncheon that day he stopped at a shop where they sell these things and asked to look at alarm clocks. The obliging clerk said he knew just what Snaffles wanted, and showed him a round nickel-plated timepiece that kept time with such a loud ticking that Snaffles feared that ho would not be able to sleep in the same flat with it. The clerk, however, assured him that this style was very popular in the best families of Harlem, and so succumbed. does tho thing he asked. replied the sales- man. what time do you wish to get half-past said Snaffles.

The alarm is warranted to ring three Snaffles took his purchase, wrapped in yellow paper, and went back to his office with a pleased heart and perfect confidence in the future. He got away from his desk late that night, and caught a train on the elevated road shortly after six o'clock. In the next seat sat an Irishman, who soon began to look on him with suspicion, for at every stop he could plainly hear a loud and mysterious ticking emanating from pocket. But Snaffles, read- his paper, was oblivious of his surroundings. He did not notice that his neighbor edged away and remarked to a friend in an audible mo boy. I think I'd be think he's an in- machine in his howled the gate- man, and the door slammed with a bang.

Laying aside her steamer schedule, she resurrected from some unseen hidden place a blouse of soft, rich material. She then tripped down the aisle to the lavatory, and a moment later returned with the silk garment, the blouse having taken its place. Resuming the seat, she buttoned the blouse with deft fingers, fixed a gold brooch in place at her throat and as quickly girdled her petite figure with a leather belt. this time I became interested in her movements, and wondered what she would do next.

Bronze Horns Three Thousand Years Old in Denmark and Norway. Late excavations in Norway and Denmark have brought to light four bronze Of these antique musical instruments, which j are two thousand to three thousand years old, the ancient northern ; museum Copenhagen possesses a collection of nineteen pieces. The pair of horns lately discovered in Denmark was found in a marshy swamp near on the Island of Although broken, they will be easily repaired. The horns are of conical shape, six feet long, and show the same type of other specimens found before. They date from the sixth century, B. C, and according to Dr. Muller, tor of the royal museum, the finding place must have been in ancient times a sacred grove, where the horns had been deposited as offerings. The second pair of horns was found several weeks ago In the vicinity of Nor- way. They are In excellent and are keyed in the same tone. Some of these horns in the hagen collection arc in such that they may yet be judged as to quality, tone, etc. According to Dr. are tuned to C, smaller ones in E and in D, E or G.

Some time ago the public in Copenhagen had to convince itself tho powerful yet melodious tones of these instruments, as tho museum officials had arranged a musical performance on tho horns, which proved quite successful.

The Story of Its Invention by the Two A monument has recently been erected at to the two father and son, who are credited with the invention of the modern bicycle.

The ma- chine was put in motion by the striking the ground with the tips of his toes. The queer thing was painted yellow, and called from its inventor, the German for- ester, K. V. A on this was very tiring, impossible uphill, and, above all, very ungraceful. But the young bloods of the time of the second empire managed very well with it, and got lots of fun out of the machine. Young Ernest Mich- aux conceived the idea of adding pedals to the front wheel and be- came thus the inventor of the mod- velocipede. His idea found lit- favor at first, more attention was to the tricycle; as early as 1863 a Paris hatter named vis- his customers on a tricycle. The international exhibition of 1867, however, gave an impulse to bicycle riding, by drawing the attention of the public to several new improve- added by the The prince imperial learned to ride, and the aristocracy, with the prince of at their head, followed his ex- ample. The latter had high- wheeled machines built to order. One was of aluminum bronze with wheels of rosewood; the other was built entirely of steel, beautifully engraved with hunting scenes. Tho bicycle school of tho was now always full. They could no longer fill all orders, and formed a company for the their machines. They also built a with asphalted track, on which also a kind of hurdle race could run. Hero was a ditch, which had to be crossed on a narrow plank, and a kind of Irish bank.

William marched onto the stage of the Herald Square theater, recently, he had the ancient claymore of the original Rob Roy slung over his shoulder. This weapon, which is more than four feet long and weighs sonic twelve or fourteen pounds, was ac- carried in battle by several generations of chieftains of the Mac- Gregor clan, and was originally owned by Donald MacGregor, the father of Rob Roy, who lived two hundred and fifty years ago. It was brought to this country by one of the family, who migrated to these shores time in tho last century, and is now the property of one of the descendants of this man, George MacGregor, who is a civil engineer living in Brooklyn. Mr. MacGregor lent the claymore to Mr. to be worn on the night of the one hundredth performance of the pretty Scotch opera. The weapon has a big basket hilt of iron, and its blade is nearly three inches wide. It would a man of more than ordinary strength to it in the air. and one of mar- power to it in battle.

Pictures for the illustration of magazines and some newspapers are now, says the Pacific American, made direct from photographs. A glass screen with diamond scratched lines ruled right angles so closely together that the spaces can hardly be distinguished is placed one-eighth of an inch in front of the sensitive plate in the photographic camera. Looked through, the effect is much the same as gazing through a sieve. These lines reappear in the half tone engraving when printed.

With the exception of pearls, it may be washed with warm water and any pure soap. It should then put into boxwood sawdust to dry. It this is done it will not need to polished. Boxwood sawdust is very fine, and will therefore not scratch what is put into it, and, moreover, it absorbs the quickly, thus helping to give the jewels a high polish. Boxwood may be obtained from any dealer in sup- plies, or could be ordered through a jeweler. When you cannot get box- wood the jewels may be polished by rubbing hard with flannel or chamois.

Measuring the Speed with Which Earthquake Waves Travel. Some readers may know that the pulsations of the great earthquake in Greece last April were perceived in England and, it was believed, at the Cape of Good Hope, by means of very delicate instruments contrived for purpose of registering any slight shaking of the earth's crust. In like manner the shock of the Con- earthquake of July last was perceived at various meteor- observatories In Austria. Russia, Germany, Holland, France and England. By a comparison of times, com- with the distances from Con- of the places where were observed, a fairly ac- curate estimate of the velocity with which the earthquake waves was obtained. The average speed was about two miles per second. This is almost exactly tho same velocity as that which was calculated for the of tho Greek earthquake in April. At this rate, if it were con- without diminution, the wave would pass completely round the earth, along a great circle, in about three hours and a half. One of the English instruments which registered these pulsations is at the bottom of a deep mine near and its delicacy may be judged from the fact that It has recorded the beating of the waves on the sea coast ten miles American.

The Thirteen Club Records Thirteen of History. The thirteenth annual meeting and dinner of tho Thirteen club, which curiously enough took place on the 12th instead of the 13th of January, was one of the most notable affairs in the history of this club. The members of the club met at the Old Knickerbocker cottage on Sixth avenue, New York, in the room in which the club was born thirteen years ago. The founder of the club, Capt. Fowler, gave a historical re- view of its organization and career. Past Chief Rulers Hon. David Adam, justice of the superior court, and Hon. J. H. V. Arnold, gate, delivered addresses. With this meeting and banquet closed tho first cycle in the club's calendar, which reckons everything by thirteens. The business trans- acted and the speeches prolonged the festivities past the midnight at minutes past on the morning of January all present and toasted the birthday of the Thirteen club. A railroad of consider- able extent and importance, which has been held in check for many years by great conflicting interests, Is ready to be used as a medium for soon brought to completion in England. This Is the extension of the Manchester, Sheffield Lin- railroad to London. Moro than twenty years have elapsed printing on the zinc plate. The of the plate is buffed to the highest degree of polish, then coated with a solution of albumen and gelatin, then sensitized with bichromate of ammonia. It is then dried and placed in the printing frame, the coated side next to the negative Aim. The case is then ex- posed to the sun or light three to five minutes or to an electric light for fifteen to twenty minutes. The light passes through the heavy inch thick glass of the printing frame, then through the negative, striking the sensitized plate and the chemicals wherever it may fall. Where the plate is protected by the shadows and half tones of tho negative the sunlight has less effect, and where the shadows are dense it has no effect. This plate is then removed from i the frame in a dark room and care- j fully washed under running water for several minutes, then dried and heated until the picture appears of a dark brown color.

The most minute precautions are taken for the protection of the new president of the French republic. There Is Europe a sovereign bet- guarded than M. A flying brigade of police In civilian costume has been created to follow the president step by step wherever ho goes. When M. Is about to start from the the prefecture of police is apprised by telephone of the place to which he is going, as well as to the route he Is to take. Before he has crossed the gate of the palace a carriage is already on the street with orders to follow the presidential conveyance, and not to lose sight or It. This maneuver is repeated several times dally, for the president goes out either in a carriage or on foot. M. often goes to the Bois de like M.
