THE MUSKRAT GLOVES.
The summer when iiugll Greenwood
was eight years old it was decided that
he ought not to go to school' ieica while,
and must be out In the air of ihe'flelds
and woods neatly all of every day.
That was why Hughie was left on his
grandfather's farm when the rest of
the tonally wont back le the city ii1 the
fall;
01 course, in a way, Hughie was glad.
He missed father and mother and his
sisters; but being on the farm recent
all kinds of outdoor fun which he
could not have in the ally,
What ho wanted most of all was to
do some trapping. This was because
of the gloves,of course. Uncle Norman
had given them to him when Lhe morn-
ings began to get real sharp and snap-
py with cold. They were very warm
gloves, made of muskrat fur, and Uncle
Norman 'had said that Olh'er Bumstead
had caught the muskrats himself, in
Hughie's grandfather's swamp.
Were there any more there? Oh, yes,
probably hundreds of ahem; and some-
times there were mink, and now and
then, but not often, an otter.
"Why, just think of it, Uncle Nor-
man!" said Hughie. 11 f had some
craps 1 could go down to the swamp
and catch muskrats enough for a fur
coat for nnamnn and a nice buffalo
roto for papal"
"Weill" said Uncle 'Norman, "you
might get enough for the fur coat, but
1 don't know about the buffalo -robe. It
takes an awful lot of muskrat skins to
make a buffalo -robe." And then he
laughed. But he also said there were
,plenty of traps to the shed, and he got
same of them down and cleaned them,
and showed Hughie how W set and
place them.
It was a great day for Hugh when he
started out the first time to visit his
line of traps. The sun was bright and
the crust of the snow frozen hard, so
that walling was easy; but It was very
cold. 1 tell you, those fur gloves kit
good then, and so did the woolen muf-
fler which grandmother had lied about
his ears.
The first trap, to Hughle's disappoint-
ment,
isappointMent, held no muskrat, and had not
even been sprung, and it was the same
way with the second one. The next
was quite a long way off. and sudden-
ly, before Hughie reached it, a big rab-
bit jumped out of some bushes and
dashed away lnlo a hole at the Tools
el a big tree.
The traps were forgotten then, and
Ilughle rushed to the tree, and kneeling
dawn, looked Into the hole. The rab-
bit was nowhere in sight, and so
Hughie pushed his hand in, and then
his whole arm, and felt round.
Still he could not feel any rabbit,
but his fingers did find a little place,
way in, through which he could just
push his hand: Perhaps the rabbit had
squeezed through. He pushed les hand
in and felt, No, there was no rabbit.
And then, when he cried to pull his
hand out, he found he could not, be-
cause his fur glove caught in some-
thing sharp and rough, that felt like
Ice. Every time he pulled, the glove
caught and held fast. Perhaps if he
pulled hard it might give way and come
off; but he knew that if it did'it would
drop away down into the hole, and ho
would never see it again.
If he could only get his knife out and
cut the hole bigger! But no, his knife
was in his right -band pocket, and it
was his right hand that was caught.
He could move it back and forth a lit-
tle way and in and out a little way, but
he could not get It free.
Hughie began to feel very cold. When
h.: had been running or walking fast
iia had felt warm enough, but lying
still, face down, in the shadow of the
great tree drunk, the chill struck through
him like a .knife. Perhaps he would
freeze to death before any one found
him. The Thought set him to shouting,
"Grandpa) Grandpa! Grand -p -a -a -al''
It hurt him l0 lie still, with his arm
stretched out, and he began to hear
more of his weight on the hand In the
hole. Something under the hand felt
i
very cold where his bare wrist ist rested
en it, and then he could feel his hand
and sleeve growing wet.
After a long time. as it scorned to
Hughie,. his arm lingtei so that he just
had to move it; and than, to.liis sur-
prise, the hand came out 61 the hole
with the glove all on it. TI was some
icicles and ragged edges of ice that had
caught, and his warm hand, resting on
it so long, had thawed it enough to
eel him 'free,

MERELY OVERLOOKED.
The ways of the crank with an in-
vention are unaccountable. Ilere is a
recent actual example: A brisk, eager.
individual called on .a capitalist for the
purpose of interesting him in a device
for discouraging burglars.
"I want to get the idea patented," he
said, "and I haven't any money. I'm
willing to go halves with any man haat
will give me the financial backing.
"'My scheme is this. You first make
your doors and windows secure, so that
they can't be opened at all from the
cutside—there are plenty of devices for
doing that now -a -days. Make all of
them tight and fast, except one. Lerve
that one so that it will open easily.
Then run a wire from that window to
the head of your bed, where you have
an alarm -bell. The burglar comes
along, tries the doors and windows,
and when he comes' to that one he
rekes it. The alarm goes off and the
burglar hears it and flees, or IL wakes
you up and you are ready for him.
In either case it accomplishes your pur-
pose."
But," said the capitalist, "i1 you can
make all the doors and windows fast
except one, why not make that one se-
cure, loo, and thus keep the burglar
out entirely?"
"I never thought of that!" replied the
inventor, rubbing his jaw.
He didn't get the money.

especial feature Is that the entire driving
apparatus is located in the body of the
balloon at its centre.
Ml the dirigibles previously made had
Pie propeller located under the buoyant
body. '1'111s had the effect of disturbing
equllibrluin; whether the fan was ahead
or astern, it tended to force the balloon
into a vertical position. When the pro-
peller was attached to ihn car, as in the
case of the Petrie and the Ville de Paris,
there was tut enornous loss of effect
owing le the drag of the baboon proper.
This had l0 be offset by great power in
the propeller or else by enormous speed
of revolution. `l'ho propeller of the Ville
de Paris has blades more than ten yards
long, which revolve al, the rate of 140
turns a minute the Palettes propeller
blades were only three and one -halt
yards in length, but they made 1,200
revolutions a minute. Both of these cn-
gales added enormously to the weight
to be sustained in the air.
The Kluylmans-Morcay flying machine
is built on the principle laid down by
Col. Renard that the motive power, sta-
bility appliances and helm should all be
as near as possible not only to the eon -
tea of gravity but to the mars of the bal.
ken. The apparatus consists of two
separate cylinders of silk stretched over
a steel framework and held fogelhor at
intervals of about eight inches by cen-
tre! core and also by strong bars of steel
hent into the shape of the capital leiter
a and extending outward about twenty-
inches from the body.
In the interval between the two'cylin-
ders there is a wheel of the same dia-
meter es the body revolving 01) the cen-
tral core and driven from a suspended
motor. The propeller blades nee attach-
ed to the tire of She wheel and revolve
freely within the U soaped braces. The
entire balloon, as constructed for ex-
perimental purposes, weighs about 275
pounds, not counting the pilot. On a
trial it developed a speed exceeding 38
miles an hour with the fans revolving 70
turns a minute.
This trial machine only had a capa-
city of about 150 cubic yards, hut one is
already begun of 1,500. It will he driven,
by a 30 hone -power motor,' weighing
only 80 pounds, and it is expected that
it will carry two persons 36 miles an
hour in a wind not •exceeding a speed
of seven to eight yards .n second; The
cost of it is estimated at 58,000 to 810, -
Tho war size will be much smaller
than the Petrie, not exceeding 1,800
collie feet to the Petrie's 3,300, It will
take only half the number of army wa-
gens to transport Its sections in cam-
paigning, and it will need only six hours
to inflate it to twelve needed for the
Petrie. It will be able to remain thirty-
six hours in the air..
A few years ago some knowing pro-
phets predicted the collapse ori what
they claimed had previously been tittle
better than a fad, and, was now, no-
thing less than a boom of a great health
producer—the bicycle. Might just as
well talk of a steamboat or trolley car
Uld bo about

This will undoubtedly seem a pretty
broad statement to many readers, but
iL ns none the less true. In these pro-
gressive days of rapid transportation,
the newspapers continually chronicle
the new records established by the fast
ocean steamships and overland express
Wiens, The bicycle has been dubbed
"Tho pool' man's Automobile," and tbls
phrase puts the whole story in a nut-
shell. When the wheel first scored its
popularity, it was taken up largely by
a pleasure -seeping public, who, after
being amused, tossed the toy aside and
turned their attention to some other
form 01 indulgence. On the other hand,
the steady and economical working
plan bought the wheel as an investment
—it was something to hank on, and it
