Nct all tuns.are so interesting as the one that the arotlo explorer, .yllh- jalmtu Steratisson describes, which resiUto.i from a misstepon the ice; I had jtirt'put my field glass'es.Into their prcpor place, he says, and was start- ing to walk down an ice Hammock 'when I maidenly began to fall. Curiously enough; the first thing that °conflae to ire as I fell Was the saying that people review their whole lives while they are failing from preci- picee. The next was that evidently I was falling into a crevasse and that it •did not seeiu tight fhat an (Matte ex- plorer should fall into a crevasse, which is the special prerogative of ant- arctie explorers. The next thing: I thought of was that my crevasse -was evidently tate result of ice cracking under stress. It probably occurred In t gale, and we had had several, one of tam about two days before. If this crevasse was a week old, I should fail' on hard ice. If it was two days old, I might fall into water, for it was spring- time and ice was forming. slowly. My �_, rifle which was strapped 011 my back, my field glasses, my pouch of ammu- nition- and several other things., added to niy momentum, would make me go down rapidly should I strike water. Ali this cogitating was done while I was dropping fifteen feet;. then I laud- ed on glare ice, I remained motion- less at first lest I break through the ice, but after thirty seconds or so I decided that, 3t my impact after the fall had not broken the ice, then doubt- less 1 could move without clanger of breaking it now. After getting on all fours and disen- gaging the broken snowshoes from my feet, I stood up, although I was sore in several places. No hones were bro- ken. Looking up, I could see the hole through which I had dropped, Since the hummock that -I had climbed was oval, it was obvious that a short walk along the bottom of my crevasse would bring me out. When I had gone about forty-five yards the crevasse - was some nine feet deep, and I was able to climb out. Hus9:a114 Rides, Wife Walks.

Room and Air. A quite common idea is that if a room be large little or no ventilation is necessary, and that if the room be very large—as, for instance, 0 hall or church—there will be plenty of air for all who may choose to conte without any ventilation at all, There should be 1,000 cubic feet of space for each individual in a room, and in addition 3,000 cubic feet of fresh air should be introduced -Leto the room per hour for each person. For example, if the room is ten feet long, ten feet wide and ten feet high it contains 1,000 cubic feet of air, or enough for one person, provided 3,000 cubic feet of fresh air enter and a like number, •o1 course, of cubic feet of foal air pass out. A room ten by twenty feet, ten feet high, is suitable for two persons., if 6,000 ctibic feet of fresh air is admitted each. hour, If the cubic space for each individual is less than 1,000 feet the air should be admitted In a greater volume than above indicated, but to change the air oftener than five times in an hour would probably create a draft. - ai--- DYED CHILD'S COAT AND HER OLD SKIRT "Diamond Dyes" Made Faded, Shabby Apparel so Fresh and New. • Don't wo:. y about perfect retinue.

"Mott," he bigan confldentiraliy "she's neper yet asked rite to come to see her, Don't you think I know her well enough for that -with us giving °each other things like we do?" "Goeh, I'd 'think so" declared th agent. "Then put it down,' said Swanson eagerly, "Write it on th book that I'm coming down next Sun- da.." Tho following Sunday morning Swanson came to the Sabbath -quieted little town and struck out eagerly for the house on the hill. Ji3ut despite himself he passed irresolutely by the gray fieldstone' gateposts, He saw 'a " figure in dainty white appear in the green arbor near the house. Something convincingly fain iliar in the figure nerved hien. He strode eagerly up the drive. And it was no surprise to find that it was. really, truly she. "You don't mind I stopped to see where you Eyed?" ho anted as humbly as only 'a strong num can. "I don't look sorry, do I?" said the girl with a wonderful smile. "Your folks hero -do you• think they might Dare any?" - The girl flushed, "They aren't my folks, you—" "There is only one," explained the girl, "That's Mrs. Coleman. She is very sweet and won't be down this morning till' eleven." "I wish you'd: ask me to come at six," wished Swanson earneslily. "I will," promised the girl, "if you'll only start to play 'Home,' Sweet Home' again. if you could only stand up here on the hill and hear how beauti- ful and itnpressive it sounds. Why won't you play it any more?" "I was 'complained of," said Swan- son briefly. "The same man did. it who wanted to keep you off my cab that night at Redding." "Oh, 'm so sorry. It was my fault then " "No, eh.. It's his fault," replied Swanson grimly. "He never did like to hear it or any other music." "He was a coward to report you," cried the girl. She clenched her small fists so feelingly that it warmed Swanson's heart to•see her. "You are a good friend to have," he said soberly. He stayed until 11 o'clock. Under the green arbor they'paged together through his gift book of bungalows. Two more happy Sunday mornings and Swanson had almost learned to court his "weekaversary" girl. The third Sunday he found her gone.

Swanson's eyes grew steely. The plan was young Keens."You know him? be a'skel gravely, e "He canes here with his mother to eee Mrs, Coleman, with Mrs. Keens and e Mrs, Coleman ore old friends," -"I thought from his waving that you might know him—•sort of well," mentioned Swanson. His eyes were very stilt, - "I do know him well," said the girl, One thing has interested us very much.Hie voice always sounded fam- iliai. to me, and he eve mine has to him. But neither of us can imagine where we ever saw or heard the other before, Mrs. Coleman says it's rom- - antic. Can you imagine where we might have met?" "Don't know -don't know," mutter- ed Swanson stubbornly. For a full minute • he was silent, then with a wistful light in his eyea'lte said good- bye and went down the drive. Down at the quiet little station he drew the agent a'shde, "Matt; did you ever hear anything about sbiuebody else going with the lady up at Cole - mania ?" Mattern turned away uneasily, then shook his head. 'EI don't know no- thing, Home," he declared. • "You got to tell me," declared Swanson grimly. "You might as well have it over with." "Well, they just said," stammered the agent, "that They believed she'd be nicer to young Keens after sheays you back enough for doing favor for her once—they didn't say just what it was." "I'm much obliged, Matt," said Swanson, tight-lipped turning away. He caught the recd caboose of a north -bound extra and rode her silent- ly into Penn City. That afternoon he tried vainly to think it over. Then he sat down in the unhonrelilte red - and -green -papered room of his board- ing house and laboriously started a• letter on a ruled tablet with thickened purplish ink. Dear Weekaversary• Lady: I just found out that , there was somebody else. ' Excuse me for 'being so thickheaded before. So I won't come to see you any more. And you won't have to bother to send me any more weekaversary things. You more than, paid me back long ago. But please keep the bungalow book. I couldn't stand to keep it. I wish that you will always be happy and have' a Yours truly, HOME, SWEET HOME. He dropped the letter in the slot et the deserted postoffice and then tramped out wearily to the bungalow at the edge of the woods. Somehow it looked small and very humble to him now. 'I guess we wasn't made for a lad', little house," he said, his voice chok- ing him. "But I'm not going to sell you. We got to stick together. It'll be just you and me, now." Next morning lie reported off sick and asked for a pass out around the Pacific coast, The trainmaster told him it would take nearly a weak to get it. They'd have to write on for transportation. "Never mint), then," said Swanson. "I'll pay my way once like a man." It was almost a month before he saw Penn City again. Quietly he re- ported on duty and went out to his little -house in the woods. Several tines he walked around it, trying to get up courage to go inside. But he couldn't do it; so he sat on the back porch steps with his chin in his knuckles. Early next morning, at the accustomed time, he -went to the roundhouse with ' his bucket and coffee -can, Almost Iike a eick man Swanson ran his trate-that day. Then, waiting for track room in the yards at Red- ding, a cleric from the nearby tower handed him a message. Without look- ing at it he passed it to his conductor who, with stammered apologies, hand - "0f course, it is not her fault," he said to- himself as he rode 'tack to Penn Oity. "She's got to be a com- panion to the old lady. That's her• business. 11 I'd have only known it, though. I might have put in the time to buy that --I could have easy. By jingo, I'll do it yet!" He banged one big fist enthusiastically on to the other. Two hours more found him eagerly peeping in at the porch win- dows of a stained shingle bungalow in a Ilttle grove at the edge of Penn City. The hardest thing Swanson ever did was to go through Queenston that following week without blowing "Home, Sweet Home." The next Sun- day he was under the Coleman arbor at 7 o'clock. But boyishly he waited to teal her until it was time to leave. Then, with his heart in his eyes, and eager as a kid, he described the house from roof to cellar. The girl listened, drInloing• in every word. "It must be a wonderful place," she said softly, "I do wish you all the happiness in the world." Swanson was a bit taken back. "Is—is that all you're going to say?" he stammered. "What else would you want me to say?" asked the girl gently, looking down into the green valley. This was still queerer. Swanson tried to think quickly and arrive at some relieving explanation. Perhaps she hadn't known hint long enough -it wouldn't look right. Perhaps she didn't want to leave old Mrs. Coleman just yet. He hadn't counted exactly on this—but it would be all right, He . Tornado: One of Nature's Terrible Powers Excepting a volcanic explosion et magnitude, the tornado is the most appalling of natural phenomena. No structure erected by human hands' can resist it, and the only safeguard against it is a mountain range, A tornado presents to tho eye the appearance of a mase` of vapor from which is extended toward the ground a whirling appendage like an enor- mously magudiied elephant's trunk. The latter, perhaps 1,000 feet in dia• ulster, rotates with a motion contrary to the hands of a clock, travelling along at a rate of about thirty miles an hour, with a roaring noise that deafens, and slicking ftp everything in it,o path. Tho noise it manes is a comb•iued "Woo-oaoo" and. "wirier• -r -x;' and has been compared to that of 1,000 express trains passing over a bridge, With a lifting, sucking movement the cloud draws things upward; its whirling pie - tion tears them to little bits, and grinds them as if la a mill. Houses aro Iifted bodily off their foundations, ,and white in the air are torn to pieces. The track devastated by a tornado may be a few hundred feet to a mile wide, It is not necessarily centintious, for the funnel clout) ,may lift itself clear of the ground at Intervals, then dip, and again rebound, Ito, arrival is accompanied, by frightful crashes of thunder and lightning that sot the whole sky aflame,.

The cheeks that had grown sallow suddenly' took on color. Ile turned has eyes to the aa'b whitlow.. Nearly a halt mile away, high up on the hill, lay the red brick Pennsy station, He could see the platform dotted with white and black human beings waiting for the 11 o'clock westhbund oxpr•ees• He looked at his watch. Three minutes to eleven-- ths express was due at eleven -two,. There it was, along the river) He could hear the unmistakable.. Penney whistle, It was too late.

But he paid no heed, Steadily"he wrapped the 'whistle rope around his fingers and hooked his elbow under the throt- tle. Then cleaving out from the slit hind hint, with an accompanying fun- nel of white steam, came three low but ascending notes of a tune. "Home," cried Bill hoarsely, shout- ing into Swanson's ear. "Don't you know where you are? McCormick'll have to suspend ydu, here under iris nose!''if you play it Swanson gave no answer. Probably he didn't hear. His eyes were steady on that speckled Pennsy platform, his ears on the pitch of his song. He had never before played it just as he pay- ed it to -day. Tho music came straight from his heart. And when the tender- ness of a heart is coupled with the strength of a steam whistle it can. work white magic. 11111 stood by with fear on his face, but his eyes grew dreamy with enjoyment. It was over. The last shred of steam front Swanson's whistle,, had drifted away. and melted into the blue. The 11 o'clock express had come 'and gone, Swanson slipped down from his cab and started across the terrace which the two railroads maintained between their -properties. In five min- utes he had gained the level of the other road and was hurrying down the half -mile of track. There were still a few people on the platform when he came .near. His eyes search- ed them. Hedoubledhis pace. There, with the familiar black bag in her hand, • uncertain whether to run pr stay, hovered a girl in a dark suit: She was a cleanly fashioned girl, comely and pale, with the softest of black hair and the 'purest look in her eyes that Swanson had ever seen.

Allowance must be made for some exaggeration, but there are on record other cases where gigantic rays, or devil-fleh, have been harpooned.
