And How Light Was Thrown on tha Problem That the Woman. Who Wae French and Voluble, and the In fant, Who Wae American, Presented. Nut very king after having taken charge of one of the consulates In Pruhve I was olio morning seated at tuy desk htixlly engaged in figuring over my quarterly accounts, wheu sud deuly a woman currying a bundle In het arms appeared before me. 1 had not resided m Fviiiipp sufficiently loug to Imbibe I he unadulterated French po- lltetiexB, but I had progressed suf- Ucleutly to ask: "Madame, wlinl van I have the pleas are of dolug for you tills morning?" "Monsieur." she exclaimed, walking toward me, holding out the bundle us If to deposit it on my desk, "this Is nu A men van tin by. What shall i do with It?" Abashed at the prospect of so sod denly becoming a father with the or ange blossoms and rive mnlrtcd and knowing that the American govern nieut had established no precedent or maintaining orphan asylums either at buine or abroad. 1 hesitated a moment and replied: "Will the madtime please be seated over there liy the door and tell me why. being a Frenchwoman, she has become possessed of an Amertcau baby?" It never occurred to me to examine the little bundle of humanity. I had In previous times rather prided myself oti my ability to distinguish the nation ality of people, had even boasted 1 could tell them by their shoes, but 1 had never tried my perceptive [lowers on Infant physiognomies. “Volin!" she said, seating herself. 1 shall never forger that 'word volla. It was one of the lirst French words I ever learned You know It means—oh, so many things when used exelama- torily. us 11 generally is. Usually, how ever, to the beginner In (he French language it conveys the meaning of “Here It Is." Than was about as far ns I had progressed In my French educa tlon at that time In regard to the many varied meanings ot votin, and I de termined that If it nieniil the bn by then it would retain Its geographical loca tion Indefinitely-that Is. In Hie wom an's lap over by the door, or preferably outside Hut liei voim referred not so much to the infant as to the story of how It nitne to be In her possession She talked volubly while I tried to as some the defensive power or silence Hut to a Frenchwoman - well, silence simply menus what the jockey gives the horse hi the last heat- encourage ment. From the verbal French cyclone she buried at me l gathered a few frag ments tlial enabled me to understand. For three months she had been em ployed as nurse by an American wom an who had paid her good wages. Four weeks previously, however, the mother had returned to New York, saying she was going over for only two or three dayH on an urgent business matter and would return at once. She had'not seen or heHrd ot her since. Being a woman who had to work ftir' her own living, the baby was a burden on her hands. She could hardly support herself, much less provide for the infant, and as the child was ot American parentage she thought the representative of the Amer ican government ought to take care of It. I suggested that I would write to the city authorities In New York asking as to the genuineness of the address that the woman said the tnothei hud left with ner. "And what shall I do during all the time you are waiting for an umwer— starve?" My answer finally was n twenty franc gold piece, with which she de parted. saying she would try to take care of the baby until l could hear from the New York authorities. Now. the reasonable and the unrea sonable part ot the story Is that since her departure, though the sun has risen hundreds ot times, she has never returned It bad not risen more than seven times, however, before t learned the reason. It was Just one week later at an In formal dinner of the sixteen consuls who resided In the city that In the course of a conversation with my Ital ian colleague I told Dim the story of the woman and the nab.v. Wbat do you suppose he answered? "Well, well.” he laughed, "why. that 8ame woman came to my office, only she had an Italian baby. An< 1 thought 1 was fortunate to get rid of her for 50 francs." In the general conversation that fol lowed I discovered that the woman nnd visited every one of the sixteen consulates tn the city, and by her abil ity to change the baby’s nationality from English to German and from Haitian to Japanese and all the other colors of the rainbow she had extract ed from the consular corps of that par ticular French city the sum of 775 francs. This Incident Is Just one of a series of similar experiences with frauds and falters a Consul has to face In the per formance ot nis duties.—Tbornwell Havnes In New York Tribune. WOMEN SOLDIERS. Thsy Posed as Men and Fought With th > British Army. The British army has had Its women soldiers, and two of them arc burled In the cemetery of Chelsea hospital One of these dauies— Hannah Snell, a truc ulent looking person, whoso portrait Is preserved 111 the great hall of the hos pital. served ill the siege of I’oudl- clierry and vas badly wounded, her sex being discovered when she was re moved to the hospital She became a pensioner and wove on occasions the three cornered tftit ami uniform coat of Chelsea and wus at her own request burled In the graveyard of the hospital. Christina Davis.was the other female soldier hurled In this cemetery She Is described as a "fill. Jolly woman." Another Englishwoman who success fully posed iis a mail ami enlisted ns n soldier was Phoebe llessel. who was a private In the Fifth foot regiment nuj fought lit Fontenoy In 1745. under the Duke of Cumberland, being severely wounded. Ultimately she died at Brighton In 1821 at the age of 108. The most famous Englishwoman "soldier," however, was "Dt. .lames Barry." who Joined the meilleal corps tn ISIS and served at Waterloo and In the Crimea, hi 1858. after many promo tions, she became Inspector general, and It was not until many years later that the fact that she was a woman was discovered.—8L Louis I’ost-Dis patch. ELECTRICITY AND WATER. Little Danger In Turning a Hose on Heavily Charged Wires. The slight danger that liretnen run through the electric current passing from heavily charged wires up the stream of water they are squirting Is proved by an experiment conducted by Ugo TnrUigllnl nnd reported lu La Sclenza |ier Tuttl. A trolley car wire charged with a di rect current of 525 volts had one end grounded: on the other end he directed a stream from a hose with a nozzle fif teen millimeters In diameter. At 2.20 meters distance a voltmeter attached to the nozzle registered twenty volts. At slxt.v-flve centimeters distance It registered seventy volts and at twenty centimeters 210 volts The average man enn stand a current of fifty volts with out serious shock, so a tlrcmnn who holds Ids mizzle live or six feet from a live wire runs no great danger. Mr. Tartaglinl u^ude the same experi ment on two lines of alternating cur rent, one with 2,200, the other with 4.000 volts, and the voltmeter did not register any current In the stream of water, although a slight shock was per ceptible when he pat his hand Into It. With a chemical extinguisher he got ii current of 1.550. volts at 225 millime ters from a wire with a current of 2,050 volts. Ypres and Death. In nolland and Flanders, according to the Manchester Guardian. Ypres Is connected In the mind of the people with the Idea of death. If a Dutchman or a Fleming wishes to descrilie a par ticularly lugubrious person he will say, "Iltj zlet er alt nis de dood van Yper en" (“He looks like the death of Ypres"). This expression has been pro- verhlul since Ypres was ravaged by the plague la 1240: "the death of Ypres” Is a vivid expression like our "black death.” But It Is also taken literally, for Ypres Is In sober truth one of the dead cities of Flanders It Is more dead Chan “Bruges la mortc,” which owes 1,'ts reputation In tills respect more to George Itodeubach's novel and the rev eries of other artists than to nctuul fact "Ypres sleeps and Bruges slum bers," says n Dutch writer of travel pictures. Making Matches. The manufacture ot matches !r h complicated and elaborate process. In which are used ii succession of Ingeni ous machines and devices which most work at all times with the utmost pre cision and delicacy. It is now possible to turn out from a single dipping ma chine about 000.000 square matches an hour. A green log Is made Into match es and packed for shipment In less tbun two hours.
