"What do I think about what?" asked
Bessie inquisitively. •
'Blake Says we can't celebrate
Christmas properly .in this 'hole in the
wall.' That's what he called our apart
hent. I say, • old man," turning to
Blake,, with a grin, "31 you bad to".
BIake waved a large hand. "Not
being married, 1 don't have to," he said
loftily. "What I want to know is:
How can you celebrate Christmas prop-
erly in these few rooms? How does
Santa Claus get into the house—come
down the fire escape or the gas pipe?"
Bessie laughed scornfully. "You
goose! Of course he comes down the
big central chimney of the Bemisla=n
apartments, and once in the cellar he
comes up in the elevator and over the
transoms into the different rooms."
'"No chance for 'me . to play Santa
Claus, then," mourned Blake gloomily.
"Oh, Blakeyou dear boy!u

Cause of Thunder..
Thunder is. the noise produced by
lightning and is harmless. It has
usually been thought ,that the noise is
created by the closing up •ot the.
vacuum made ley the passage of the
lightning, the air rushing in from all
sides with a clap, but the intensity of
the noise is rather disproportionate,
and it is now supposed that thunder is
due to the intense beating of gases,
especially the gas of water vapor along
the Iine of electric discharge, and the.
consequent conversion of suspended
moisture into steam at enormous 'pres-
sure. In this way the crackle with
which a peal of t1>tiznder sometimes
begins might be regarded as the sound
of steam explosion on a small scale
caused by discharges before the main
flash.. The rumble would be the over-
lapping steam explosions, and the final
clap, which sounds loudest, would be
the steam explosion nearest to the
auditor. In the case of rumbling thun-
der the lightning is passing from cloud
to cloud. When the flash passes from
tlfe earth to the clouds the clap Is
loudest at the beginning. -Chicago
Tribune.
Whirlwind a Good Gari.
A. good game on the order of "going
to Jerusalem?' but less familiar, is tail-
ed in this country "whirlwind," but by
our English cot7Sins is known as "cater-
pillar." •Whete''something is wanted to
get"a crowd' of young folks stirred' up
and fun started, just try whirlwind.
Draw up as Many chairs as there are
players and rangethem in a ring. All
the players sit down but one, the ques-
tion of who will be left standing being
decided bycutting cards or drawing
slips of paper. The object of the play-
er who remains standing is to get a
seat, but this the other players try to
prevent by moving rapidly from seat
to seat in such a way as to fill up the
vacancy as soon as he is seen to ap-
proach it. This causes the whirlwind,
a very descriptive name.
When he secures a seat the player
on his left becomes chairless. The
players may move either to the left or
right, as occasion requires, to protect
the chairs and prevent the cleairless
from getting a seat.
Chins le Punk ,Sticks. ll
Punk sticks are made in Chaia, and
the cheapestgrades of the sticks are
composed wholly of the elm bark.
They give o$ a heavy acridsmoke
not at all pleasing. The better grades
are perfumed with a variety of sub-
stances, the commonest being sandal-
wood. Theprice of the sticks in China,
where the children are as fond ot
them as they are here, but where the
elders also regard them with much
seriousness,ranges from four bunches
for a cent to two sticks for a cent.
The prices in this ' country are just
about double those prevailing in China.
The most valuable sticks in China

This daring echeme involved
a

interview with the janitor of the Bete-
lsiawn, who was converted from scorn

. come a warm adherent to Blake's pian.
01 course this eonverslOIl was accom
panted by an interesting pantomime
between the two men, Blake's hand go-
ing back and forth to his well :Oiled
wallet and the janitor's palm closing
upon crackling Paper money., After
that they both went and investigated
the dumb waiter: <' '
It was a very large dumb .waiter,
operated by electricity, and could be
stopped at any door from. below. It
was meant to carry' supplies to the
different tenants of the Bemislawn,
and the janitor was positive that it
could easily sustain a weight of 500
pounds. '
It' was a snowy, wind swept OkrLt

gathered in the' dining room of their
Sat, in accordance with Blake's in-
structions. The children Were aquiver
with anticipation, for Uncle Blake had'
hinted broadly that Santa Clans would
surely appear in person that .evening,
and they expected him to appear via
the fire escape or the transom and
watched accordingly. No one 'thought

"Nothing will happen," assured the'.
janitor hastily, and without more par-
ley he sent the waiter up. •
Something did happen and soon
after Blake had starteed up . in the
stifling cage. The dumb waiter came
to a sudden standstill, and there was
no way of knowing whether he bad
reached the fourth : floor or not, but
he was sure he had not. -
Then a bell tinkled near at hand,
footsteps tripped across the floor, and
the darkness of bis cage' was banished
by the sliding back of a door. He
saw the interior of a little blue and
white kitchen just like Bessie' Aldis'.
As he Scrambled out into the light -
there was a sharp outcry, and the girl
who had opened the door of the dumb
waiter fled to the opposite wall and
stared at his strangelyappareled form..
"Who are yon? 'What do'you want?"
she asked in a frightened voice. •
By this time Blake Preston realized'
that he had blundered into the wrong
flat. But was it the wrong flat? He
continued to stare at the girl with.
mingled .feelings' of joy and chagrin --
-joy because it was none other than bis
host love, Editha Wayne, who stood
before him; chagrin because of , the
eidieulous plight in which he 'stood.
