They weigh about twenty-five pounds, The fishermen using these boats work in pairs,. the salmon net be- ing strung between the two.

"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 , _Did yo want to?" cried Bessie. . "Of course I did!

If I had known you had closed up the farmhouse -this 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 and those which seldom if ever are. imported into this country are those In the manufacture of which Tibetan: incense is used.

Ho !Haid surprise them by arriving on the dumb waiter. This daring echeme involved a l on g interview with the janitor of the Bete- lsiawn, who was converted from scorn ful skepticismof the scheme to be- . 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 was eve, and the Aldis family W 1O 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 • of the dumb waiter.; Down in the basement it was hot enough and almost unbearable by the time slake bad buttoned himself into a fur overcoat, adjusted a Banta Claus mask and wig and tied on a lappeted cap.- A. well. packed sack found place between his knees when he had crowd. ed into the dumb waiter. "1 hope she won't break down -1'1i lose my job if she does," remarked the janitor cheerfully as he prepared to". start.. Blake on his strange journey to the. fourth floor. . "You said • it ,would carry., 500. 1• weigh only ;190," protested,Illake. "11. anything happens, my man"-- - "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. "I have made a mistake," he stami., tnered at last. "I was to be let oft at the fourth floor. I am afraid I cannot continue my journey on the dumb- waiter andmush trouble you to -show. me to the corridor: ' At the sound of his voice ‘a rose, color drifted: across her face, leaving it deadly white. - "Who are you?". she repeated with out moving.

Aldis and his wife exchanged a swift glance of understanding. • They both knew what had driven Blake Preston down into the canal zone, where there Was big work to be done—work that required all the brain and sinew of strong men, leaving them little time* for vain regrets.
