"Why, yes," said the clerk, pointing to

counter. "nos jest opened."
The darkey looked at 1t hungarlly. "How

"Give 1t to him for ten cents and throw

"All right," said tee clerk, filling a bag
of crackers. "Here you are."
The darkey laid a greasy dime on the
counter, picked uptee box end the bag,
and going out seated himself In the shade
of a cotton bale. when he had finished the
crackers he ran his Hagar around the box
and gave 1t a good long lick. In a few

TREE TRUNK FILTER.
By Its Use Sea -Water is Made
Drinkable.
A well-known Austrian engineer, M.
Pfister, is stated to have discovered a
remarkable property of the trunks of
trees, mately that of retuning the salt
of sea -water that was filtered through
the trunk in the direction of the fibres,
says The Railway Review. He has
consequently constructed an apparatus
designed to utilize this property in ob-
taining potable water for the use of
ships' crews,
This apnratus consists of a pump,
which sucks up the sea -water into a
reservoir, and then forces it into the
filter formed by the tree trunk.
As soon as the prcasute reaches 1.5
to 2.5 atmospheres the water is seen, at
the end of rom one to three minutes,
according to the kind of the wood used, t
make its exit from the other extremity
of the trunk, at first in drops and then
in fine streams, the water thus filtered
being potable, freed, in fact, from every
article of the nseal snline taste which
is such a drawbacks to water obtained
in the ordinary manner.
