E. S. TO.SAVE DAYLIGHT
The Lower House of the U. S. Con-
gress hat; paseed the Daylight Saving
Bill that eves *passed by the Senate
some time ago, with a change of time
as to when it shall be operative. The
Senate will be asked to concur in the
change. Under the terms of tbe Day-
light Saving Mil, all clocks and
watches in the 'United States will be
let forward one hour at 2 a. m. on
Sundae*, March:31st next. The new
time will prevail ;nail 2 a. ne, Sunday,
Oct. 27th, wben chronometers will he
set back one hour, thus restoring the
preseut or astronomical time.
The change 01 time will be made
every Year under the provisions of
the act of Congress. Advocates of the
plan, which hs been adopted by
twelve'other ceitutriee, say that light-
ing bills will be reduced and that mil-
lions of tons o't coal will be saved.
President 'Wilson iudorsed the legisla-
tion as a conservation, measure made
vitally necessary by the dentande of
war economy..
The House of Representatives passed
tbe Senate bill by a vote of 252 to 40,
little opposition to the measure being
manitested. The Sete, which pass-
ed the hill June 27th*last, provided
that the change in time should be
made on April 28th fend Sept. 20tb.
The only amendmeht e by the eTouse
was that fixing the aays of change at
March 3Ist andeOct. 27th, in order that
the beneficial effect might apply to a
longer period. -The otil providee for
tbe division of the country Into five

Neil ground his teeth in helples
rage.
The Old Codger scrambled out of be
and lit the gas. Neil was ready to gar
up all hope. However, in the genera
excitement,. he was not immediatel
recognized, as a fellow tenant. Non
of them knew him very well. All tit
tenants who slept in the building wer

the floor below The uncouth, scantily -
dressed group was etched on Noll's
retina.
'Everybody talked at onto.
"Seize him, the scoundrel!' erled
the Old Codger . In his excitement he
forgot his ehyness-he in his night
shirt, too, and a lady present
'It's all a mistake," said Nell, With
as• much dignity as he could ,muster.
"*f was walking on the root and „I
stumbled and fell through the sky-
light."
This was received with a chorus of
derisive laughter. "Likely story!"
Neil flushed hotly. YOn ever
hear of a burglar jumping throngh a
skylight?" he demaecled.
Well, then, you've beeu robbing
some other place," said the milliner,
samently. "Take him la boys, on the
chance."
How Nell hated her, the fat, vulgar
'creature.
"A. desperate character!" cried the
Old Codger. "Threatened my life, he
did!" .
Nell, thinking of what lay in the
next room, Was ready to seize upon
any pretext to take them away from
that gleinity. Perhaps he might be
able to make a break for liberty in the
street below'. None of these looked:
like runners.
"Very well, let's go and find a Po-
liceman," he said. "I'm willing to

"You'd better be!" they sail.

down your number and write to the
eommishner. Say, a cop's got no more
'trade= of action nowadays than a
street corner sign. We're nailee down,
boy, that'e what we are, nailed down!"
The populace was halted outside the
door ot the police 'station. Prisoner,
complainant and the four male wile
news lined up before the rail. The
lady, recollecting her crimping irons,
had remained 'behind to dress. The
lieutenant was a thin, dyspeptle-look-
ing officer with an air unutterable
bored by the dramatic scenes which
succeeded so rapidly before him. The
green shades on his ballets lent his
complexion a ghastly hue. The scene
bore a strong resemblance to Pa (liege
schoolroom without any desks, and
with grown-up scholars.
The lieutenant entered a format eom-
, plaint in his big book, and ignored
alike•the Old Codger's fervent accuse -
tion and Neil's indignant denial,
"Tell it to the magistrate," was Ids
s answer to both. "Put eim in No. 27,
Hartigan."
d Neil was led out of the back door,
e across a narrow, flagged eourt, and up
1 a short iron stairway into a separate
y building, lost to the world among the
o back walls. The windows were omi-
e nouely barred. An ancient doorkeep-
er, red -eyed and horribly callous, sat
n within his keys on e big ring,
a "No. 27," Hartigan said, turning

with a great clatter. Unfortunately for
Nell's hopes ot escape the detestable
lady milliner had taken the precaution
to scream out of the window before
venturing upstairs and they met a
policeman coming up with drawn club.
At a respectful distance followed a lit-
tle crowd of curiosity -seekers, such au
may be raised in New York at any
hour 01 the night.
A eonfused and noise explanation
took place on the holding. To Nell it
was like a bad dream. His coatiess
and disordered state told against him.

You won't be here long. They'll send

CHAPTER IV.
Neil eat on the wooden shelf rune
eing lengthwise of his cell, and con-
sidered his situation. It was about as
baa as it could be. Even though he
succeeded in cencealing his identity,
where would he be it he were sent uP
for attempted burglary or even for dis-
likely event of his being able to
ini-
press the magistrate with the very
sketchy tale he was prepared to tell
orderly conduct? And even in the tot -
the court would require verification.
Whichever way you looked at it
there was small chalice that the secret
could be kept locked in his room. Te
tell the truth, he had bungled misera-
bly. He dM not spare himself. The
business -he had engaged in so light-
heartedly now wore a very different
look.
Black as the outlook was, Neil could
not 'be altogether downcast. There was
another part of him which took a
weird joy in the novelty of his sensa-
tions. His eyes and ears were busy
in spite at him, The corridor outside
was brightly illuminated, and a, cer-
tain amount of light eame through
the barred door, The drab -painted
brick walls of his cell were revealed
covered with the thoughts and the pic-
tures of former tenants.
Among the former - he deciphered
this;

Presently Nell heard a yoke; "Hey,

He did not immediately comprehend
that it was himself who was address -
"Hey, Yon ht the next jewel -box!

"Do you mean me?" said Neil, sure
prised. "What is it?"
"Have you got a match?" 1'ai38 it

doors clank open, one by one, T
slumberers were awakened with
gentle hand and•voice.
The old mastiff of a doorkeeper,
with his dull, vindictive eye, • finally
unlocked Nell's .door and lteld it open.
This prisoner obeyed the mute invi-
tation, .and. followed the others down
tbe corridor and across the:courtyard
into the back room of the stdtion
tonse. He recognized the battered
Indiana Joe nithout difficulty, but
not over-anxious to make himsalf
known.
Officer Hartigan was waiting for
him. While maintaining his stern
port, he shot words of encouragement
out of the corner 01 1115 mouth.
"How are you, Jack. Did you have,
a sleep? How ablaut an antennae'
ride? Rockfenow don't dast • brea
Ike speed limit like you will t

The hang -dog flock, with its brick,
blue shepherds, passed through the
front event and flown the steps. The
patrol wagon was backed up to the
curb. As Neil was about to get in
Hartigan restrained him.
"Let them bums get in first," he
whispered. "You can sit by Inc at
the end. It's better air."
During their rapid passage through
the city Neil was ouce more aware
of a vastly changed -point of view. To
saunter in the streets and took in
shop windows now seemed like a
wonderful privilege. Late passers
ley smiled in superior fashioe at the
loaded wagon. Little newsboys who
might to have been in bed capered in
its track and made insulting gestures
"This is what it feels like to be the
under dog," thougbt Neil.
Arriving at the back entrance of a
grim, -tall building, they were March-

ABOUT ELEPHANTS.
There Are Two Distinct Types,
African and Indian.
There are two distinct types of ele-
Phants-the African and Indian. The
former have developed the largest ani-
mals and are quite different from the
Indian type, hatoing' only four 'define
toes on the rear feet, as against five
In the Indian, the ears are very much
larger and the spinal ridge of the Af-
rican shows a, marked huinp or rise,
beginning at the hips, whereas the In-
dian elephant's back slopes gently
downivard from this point. The Afri-
can defies the fiercest sun, while the
Inaian lopes away from it to the
heaviest, coolest shade.
The age of the elephants is widely
disputed, the best calculations of
hunters and scientists . being admit-
tedly only a little more than hazards.
Sir Samuel Baker, authority, states
the average Iffe of an elephant to be
about one hundred and fifty years. It
is exactly known that elephants, have
lived in captivity for one hundred and
thirty yeare. Naturalists believe,, how-
ever, au elephant's life in the wild
state to be twice se long, meriting to
a reeently published book called "The
Elephant."

in the usual order of events, there
was an 00111)40 of the moon -visible
at Greenwich -a man whose work
brotight him daily into Manchester,
was seen going home about two home

by one or his train companions to

routine, he replied that, he had to be
back in the city before 0 o'clock, be -
Mese Ite had read in his morning
paper that the eclipse of the moon
would be visible from Albert Square
from about that time onwards, and
he was not going to miss the oppor-
amity, as it was a fine night. He
lived in the country!
The story recalla the famous inci-
dent conneteed with Dean Swift, wbe
'mis
word was law in Dublin, some two
iundred years ago. The Dean had an-
nouneed that there would be len ec-
imm of the sun on a certain day, at a
certain time, visible from his houee.
