THE LAST NIGHT IN CAMP.

Nestled among the tall trees of a
river valley in New York State's wil
derness is a little cabin. Before the
open fireplace in the one large living
room two men sit, dreamily gazing
at the leaping log flames. About
them are scattered hunting parapher
nalia of all kinds, from boots to guns.
On the table well-thumbed volumes
show sigms of sudden negiect. Pipes,
dripping ashes, sirew the wooden
mantel. The boiling kettle drones
lazily. It is the last evening of the
last day in camp. To-morrow—back
to the world.
Charlie, the merchant, rises,
stretches, sighs and moves to the west
window. His eyes wander afar to the
mountains beyond ths river, lit by the
lights of heaven. lln the gathering
gloom he marks the piace where the
trail to the pond bends bestween the
hills. Beyond he measures the reach
of the dry swamp, where the big deer
hide. ‘Around the lessening horizdon
he follows the outlet’s flow until it
joins the river with a rush—and then
he sighs again.
“I wish we could stay longer!”
There is a plaintive note of regret
in his voice. Leslie, the editor, hears,
but does not answer. He is seeing
things in the fantastic movements of
the flames.
Charlie picks up his gun, looks over
the sights and then slowly pushes an
oil rag through the barrel. Then he
sits down and gazes again into the
fire.
Leslie stirs and sighs. He, too,
rises, and, from the north window,
peers afar to Hardwood Island and
Pine Ridge. With his eyes he follows
the cranberry swamp to the old lum
ber camp and on beyond to Silver
Brook and the raspberry patch.
“It’s tough to go back to the desk,”
he says. His voice is no more joyous
than that of the merchant, and his
words bring no response.
Leslie lifts his mud-stained hunting
boots, cleans- and greases them and
hangs them on a hook—for a year.
Then he drops again into the chair be
fore the fire. The ketile sings its
song louder and louder. An hour
slips by—an hour in which the lon
tramps, the wading of streams and
climbing of hills, the shots that mean*
meat, and the weary but happy far
ing toward the open grate in the even
ing—were all silently reviewed and
weighed and measured, and measured
and weighed and reviewed, by the
dreamers before the fire.
Leslie turned to the man-made
satchel and took from it a man-made
linen coliar. He looked at it more
than casually. He encircled his
bronzed neck with it and shuddered.
“Did you ever think that there.
must be a hades?” heasked, reflective
ly. “Else there would be no here
after for the man that invented the
stiff linen collar.”
The merchant showed symptoms of
taking notice.
“The collar fiend does not deservei
the measure of torment that has been ‘
_completely won by the inventor of the |
boiled_shirt,” he replied. \
Then they gazed into the fire andi
lost themselves in tought. |
“Well, we must pack up, I sup
pose,” said the merchant at last. !
“Yes, we must pack up,” dreamily
echoed the editor. |
And they continued to stare at the
fire.
The moments flew by and outside
the gloom increased. The mountains
across the river were no longer dis
oernible and the shadows in the
woods were deep and dark. By the
flicker of the fire the merchant sought
his razor, whife he ran his tanned
fingers through his facial under
growth. Finding the desired instru
ment of human torture, he—sat down |
and again gazed into the flames, ‘

gsiong of the kettle by filling the cup.
with hot water, He, too, was think
ing of the mowing that civilization
demands of man's face, Then he-—-—‘
fixed his eyes on the fire, |
“It’s no use,” said the merchant,
finally and desperately. “Here goes.”
He arose with determination and
began the work of preparation for
the departure. Lamps were lit, sweat
ers were doffed and the razors were
applied. Then came the packing, It
was a busy hour or more unbroken by
words. Buckles - clicked, straps
creaked and the Xkettle sang. In
wardly the merchant and the editor
groaned. i
Morning came only to emphasize
the regret. Stiff collars ehafed necks,
stiff hats pinched heads, stiff shoes
crowded feet and stiff shirts held un
willing bodies as in a vise. The sun
was shining in the sky, but there
were clouds over the hearts of the
two men. That world there in the
wilderness was beautiful, but the
other world—that was different. The
wilderness world was made by God—
the city world was made by man.
Who would not feel a pang on being
campelled to leave the grandeur and
freedom of the one to mingle with the
pinched soul of the other?
It was almost time for the wagon
that was to carry them over the
mountain road to the man-made rail
road.” They listened for the chug ®f
the wheels and hoped that mnoise
would not offend their ears. They
hoped the wagon-man had forgotten
his orders.
They grabbed their grips and great
coats out of the cabin and listened
again. Chug-chug! There it -8,
The wagon is lurching through the
woods.
Side by side, the merchant and the
editor turned and looked far off on
the-mountains across the river, a-glit
ter in the early morning sun. They
must soak their souls full of the
scene, for they would not see it again
for a year—perhaps they would never
see it again.
“You sports better git spry, if we
want to catch that train!” o
The driver’s words fell upon the
merchant and the editor ag a
bludgeon. They tumbled into the
wagon and the rough journey from
paradise back to the world was be

OLDEST LONDON POLICE CELL,
Supposed to Be More Than 200 Years
Old—Underground Passage.
Beneath a building known as the
oOld Court House, Wellclose square,
Stepney, stand what are said to be
the oldest police cells in London, and
under these is the entrance to a sub
way believed to have once led to the
Tower, nearly a mile distant.
~ This subterranean passage is now
‘blocked up, and at the entrance there
stands a skealeton,
The building was formerly known
as the High Court of Liberty and is
supposed to be over 300 years old.
The court house is now the home of
the German Oak Club, and the fine
apartment in which trials took place
is used for dancing, while tte adjoin
ing rooms provide accommodation
for billiards.
A winding stone staircase leads to
the two cells at the rear of the court
house. At the top of the stairs is a
massive and strongly barred door,
with a peephole in it. This leads to
the first of the apartments. The only
light which penetrates these dirty
dens comes through gratings high up
against the ceiling, and each is fitted
with a shutter, by means of which
the cells can be plunged into dark
ness.
Nearly half the floor space in each
room is filled by a wooden bed, and
attached to the walls are the rusty
chains with which the prisoners were
manacled. Another object to be seen
is a straitjacket made of stiff canvas,
with iron rings which can be fastened
to the chains.
Many names, Inscriptions and piec
tures are carved on the wooden walls.
One can still read the name of Edward
Burk, who lis said to have been
hanged for murder, Close by is
carved “Edward Ray, December 27,
1758;"” and another inscription runs
“Francis Brittain, June 27, 1758.
Pray remember the poor debtors.”
On the floor of the first cell can be
distinguished the squares of a chess
board, cut in the solid oak. Over the
door between the two cells can be
traced the words, ‘“The rule of the
house is a gallon of beer,” and just
below, in neater character, are the
words, “John Burn came in April 11,

A New Ice-Making Machine,
A new ice-making machine has
lately been placed on the market. It
works on the principle that water will
freeze when evaporated rapidly by
means of a vacuum pump and a pow
erful absorbent, such as sulphuric
acid. It is said that the machine can
be worked by hand and will turn out
carafes of iced water at the rate of
one in three minutes, and blocks of
ice weighing about one pound in
twenty minutes. The apparatus, con
sisting of the absorber and the carafe,
or the ice mold, are rocked by means
of a handwheel and crank, which
serves also to create the vacuum. This
apparatus is made at Reading, Eng
land.—Harper's Weekly,

England’s Dreadnoughts afid Her
i . Coming Designs.
Two Mcnfifer Ships Bagun This Year, One a Battieship of 19,200
Tons With Turbine Engines---Early Construction of :
the 25,060 Ton Battieship Probabie.
The coming of the Dreadnoughts,
as all the world knows, has meant a
complete revolution in naval construc- ‘
tion. lln the opinion of most naval
officers the future is to the Power
which possesses most of these ships
and can use them well, writes H. e
Wilson, in the London Daily Mail. |
It will be interest, then, in view of_
the pause which has been made dur
ing the present year in shipbuilding, |
to examine how the British Navy
stands in this latest type of ship and
what are the designg likely -to be
adopted in the near future, The Ad
miralty is committed to the large ba.t-i
tleship and it will scarcely go back.
Nor would it be wise to do s 0 in view .
of the fact that almost all foreign |
Powers are faithfully copying British
desigus. |
For the present year two monster
ships—a baitleship and a eruiser—
have been voted. The battleship, con
trary to the reports circulated will be
similar in all important respects to
the St. Vincents. That is to say she
will displace 19,200 tons or there
abouts, will carry ten cr twelve 12-
inch guns, and will be propelled by
turbine engines actuated by steam.
Thus she will make up the group of
four St. Vincents, and when she is
completed for sea the British Navy
will possess two groups, each four
strong of all big gun battleships. The
other vessel will resemble the Invinei
bles, with improvements, and will
complete the group of four 25-knot
cruiser battleships.
So much for the present. It will
be seen that there is nothing sensa
tional in the design of the ships for
this year which are meant to fill the
gaps in the existing organization. But
next year it is possible that there may
be new and startling departures.
From hints which Ministers and oth
ers have dropped, the Admiralty will
be “eompelled to ask for not fewer
than five monster battleships. More
may be needed, but this must neces
sarily depend on the progress which
foreign ships make in the next few
months.
Germany it must be remembered
has now building or sanctioned seven
battleships of Dreadnought type
(against the British eight) and two,
or possibly three, cruisers of the In
vincible type (against the British
four). And under her fixed program
‘she will lay down three more mon
ster battleships and one more mon
‘ ster cruiser nect year, the battleships,
' it is believed, displacing 21,000 tons
or even more. A British program
of five battleships and one monster
armored cruiser would bring the Brit
ish total of Dreadnoughts up to only
eighteen, as against the German to
tal of thirteen or fourteen. The Brit
ish margin of four or five ships, which
it would give, would be far less than
what the strict two Power standard
demands.
If, then, we assume that the Brit
ish program consists of five battle
ships and one improved _lnvincible
—and nothing less will satisfy the
claims of national security—it is
probable that the Admiralty will lay
down one group of four improved St,
Vincents—four battleships, that is to
say, each carrying twelve 12-inch
guns. But the fifth battleship may
quite possibly be an experimental
NO MORE PHOSSY JAW.
White Phosphorus in Match Manu
facture to Be Prohibited.
After many years of agitation the
use of the deadly white phosphorus
in the manufacture of matches is
soon to be prohihited. A bill, backed
by Herbert Gladstone and Herbert
Samuel, with this object in view was
introduced in the House of Com
mons last week, and fuller details of
the measure, which was issued from
the printers Saturday, will give satis
faction to the thousands of people
employed in this dangerous trade.
The government’s action is the in
direct result of the Berne labor con
ference of September, 1906, when
representatives of France, Germany,
Italy, Holland, Denmark and Switzer
land consenting to the prohibition,
Great Britain then withholding her
agreement. As the outcome of a con
sultation with the manufacturers the
promoters of the bill now before Par
liament have made it possible for less
dangerous substitutes for white phos
phorus, which are protected by pat
ents, to be obtained on reasonable
terms by all manufacturers.
The use of the poisonous white
phosphorus is not necessary in the
business of match-ma#ing. Its em
ployment, moreover, 18 highly dan
gerous to the work-people, for it
gives rise to the painful disease of
necrosis of the jaw, commonly known
as ‘“‘phossy jaw.” This disease has
much the same. effect on those at
tacked by it as that of leprosy, and
it works the same horrible ravages
on the face and hands,
The bill, if it passes into law, will
not only forbid the use of white phos
phorus in the manufacture of
matches, but will also make it illegal
for any one to sell or import matches
in the making of which white phos
phorus has Dbeen used.—London

While the Chinese do not care for
alcoholic drinks, but are addicted to
opium, the Koreans like strong drink
and do not care for opium,
ship, a new type, built rapidly and
tested with the object of gaining ex
perience for a new class ‘which will
figure in the programs of 1910 and
1911. Here much will obviously de
pend on the action of foreign Powers
and whether the reports prove cor
rect which credit the German Ad
miralty with the intention of build
ing vessels far larger and more pow
erfully armed than any vet designed.
If such an esperimental ship is to
be built with great speed to obtain
experience the orders for her guns,
barbettes and machinery will be given
well in advance, before she is even
voted, and they may be placed in the
summer or autumn of the present
year. The same course was followed ‘
in the case of the Dreadnought.
The new ship will not imprabably
carry a new monster gun, the 13.5-
inch, eight or ten of which may be
mounted, and will thus carry out the
policy of ‘“out-Dreadnoughting the
Dreadnought.” One or two of these
guns, according to report, have been
building for some months, and the
employment of them in the St. Vin
‘cent class is known to have been con
sidered and only reluctantly aban-l
'doned. All the details are confiden
‘ tial, but the German naval handbooks
'will supply the public with what is
% cex‘tain}y an intelligent guess and pos
sibly accurate information. "Accord
ing to them the new 13.5. inch gun
‘will weight eighty-six tons, or near
1y thirty tons more than the existing |
‘l2-inch weapon; will be about fifty- !
‘two feet long, and will fire a shell
weighing about 1300 pounds or 1400
‘pounds, as against the 12-inch shell’s
850 pounds. Such huge projectiles
would pierce five sect of iron and
tear their way through the best mod- |
ern armor at battle range. ‘
To mount guns of the size and !
length so that they will be able to
fire on either broadside is a matter
of extreme difficulty so long as fun
nels remain. But there is some hope
of getting rid of them and thus giv
ing a clear field of fire, The Belle
ville Company is said to be design
ing a boiler which needs no funnel
‘above water to discharge_the waste
‘products of combustion and there is
l the bare possibllity that producer gas
cngines might be adopted. The firm
of Vickers-Maxim has prepared de
signs-for battleships driven by pro
ducer gas, and it is understood that it

Power advemurous enough to try
such an experiment. The Admiralty,
however, is not at all likely to install
the gas engine in battleships until it
has been thoroughly tried in mer
chantmen and smaller cruisers. But
that it will finally come may be taken
as certain,
The British battleship of 1910 may
thus be a vessel of 25,000 tons,
mounting eight or ten 86-tons guns,
which will be so arranged as to fire
on either bhroadside. She will re

Massachusetts is deriving from the
registration of motor vehicles a
bigger income than ever has heen
yvielded from that source. Cars have
been registered recently at the rate
of about fifty each day, and the total
number so far since January 1 has
been 15,767,
Returns for the first half year
which have reached the State Treas
urer show that the fees collected in
connection with the automobile ac
tivities by the Massachusetts High
way Commission since December 1
last amounted to $100,782.
According to the Motor World
about ten per cent. of the cars regis
tered recently have been those of
owners having residence in other
States, but who have been coming in
to Massachusetts with their cars for
tours or for a stay on a#summer out
ing. About 800 registrations were
reissues.
This year since December 1 last
the total of private operators has
reached 4057 and of professional

Figure is Straighter,
Word comes from Paris that the

straighter, with less bust, more walst,
a still greater dimunition of the hips
and an unwarrantable length of limb
until in a twilight every tree or um
brella may turn out to be a woman.

a large frame may be put into these
required up-and-down lines. In a
very long limp garment that might
have suggested a winding sheet had it
not been black and that clung about
her limbs like scales on a fish, she

draperies, she displayed black patent
leather shoes mounted on high ame

same hue gleaming through the black
folds of her skirt were judiciously
displayed at every step. A broad
