The Fire Bag. The "fire bag" is a relic of the-old days of wooden ships, Every whaler and sealer used to carry such a bng. It was of tarpaulin, about one foot in length and six inches In width. It was lined with waterproof material, with Interlinings of oilcloth nnd thick flannel. In thia was placed the flint and tinderbox for kindling Are. The bag was then securely fastened with double flaps and tied In such a manner us to keep its contents dry. It was the duty of the second mate to look after the Are bag, and in case of shipwreck to attach it at once to his person by means of stout straps provided tor the purpose. So, if officers and crew were cast away on some deserted shore, the means of obtaining a fire were not wanting so long as the precious Are bng was safe. The modern steam whalers and sealeis cuiiy u file bug stowed in the lifeboats with the bread and water, but It is of rubber, and contains half a dozen water tight tin boxes of matches.— Philadelphia Press. How a Siphon Acts. The main principle of the siphon is the same us that of a suction pump—viz, that it a vacuum be created in a tube inserted in water the normal pressure of the atmosphere will cause the water to rise in the vacuum to a height of about thirty-three feet. The siphon is a bent tube, one side or leg of which is longer than the other, and the conditions of its successful operation are, Arst, that the shorter side or leg be placed in the water; second, the longer side or leg to hang freely over the edge of the vessel; third, a vacuum to be created throughout the length ot the tube by sucking the air from the longer side. This will be immediately followed by a Aow of water, which will continue as long as the mouth of the shorter side or leg of the tube remains under the surface of the water. In transferring water from a lowei level care should be taken not to remove the short side from the water, as that would destroy the vacuum and cause tlie flow to stop. English Conservatism. Day and night, winter and summer. In all weathers, a tug with steam up is stationed on the Thames at the Tower bridge. It is a floating illustration of the fact that parliament is/some times—only sometimes, of course—needlessly fussy. When the bill empowering the corporation of London tc build the bridge was passing through the bouse of commons a provision was inserted requiring the stationing of this tug as aforesaid, so as to be handy "in case of wreck.” The promoters protested that the cost of the tug would far exceed any benefit to be derived from it- The commons thought they knew better and insisted. The bridge was opened about sixteen years ago, and the tug has cost the city of London £3l per week ever since. Yet its services "In case of wreck” or any other emergency have never once been required.—London Express. Earthquake Shocks. There are such things as earth waves as well as ether waves. But while the ether waves have, by the genius of a Marconi, been harnessed into the service of mankind, no scientist has yet discovered any uses for earth waves or even any means of utilizing them. The shock of a seismic disturbance travels in waves at the rate of two miles a second in the Actual vicinity of the disturbance, and this rate rapidly diminishes as the distance traveled by the earth waves increases. The deeper the originating movement happens to be the farther the shock travels, but tlie deeper the movement, on the other hand, the less extensive and usually the less serious, from the point of view of loss of life, is the visible effect on the earth’s surface. A Retiary. A retiary was tlie name of a Roman gladiator armed in a peculiar way. He was furnished with a trident and net, with no more covering than a short tunic, and with these implements he endeavored to entangle and dispatch his adversary, who was called a seentor (from sequi, to follow) and was armed with a helmet, a shield and a eword. Tlie name of the first is pronounced as if spelled re-shi-a-ry, the accent on the first syllable. Tactful Man. “I must say these are fine biscuits!" exclaimed the young husband. “How could you say those are fine biscuits?” inquired the young wife’s mother in a private interview. “I didn't say they were fine. I merely said I must say so.”—Washington Star. Belgium's Military Cross. The croix militaire of Belgium is an award founded in ISBS by Leopold 11. It consists of two classes; the first is awarded to officers of twenty-five years’ service, the second to noncommissioned officers and men who have served a similar period. An Unhappy Client. “Frisoner, have you anything to say?” “Only this, your honor: I’d be mighty sorry if th’ young lawyer you assigned to me was ever called upon to defend an innocent man.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer. Words of Different Size. “Did they exchange words?” “Yes. but it wasn't 'an even exchange. ’ Ono spoke iu English and the other in i Russian.”—New York Press. Troubles must come to all men, byt those who are always looking for them 1,-ill have the largest share.
