Even Joe Matthewson, who had
himself been writing for ten yaers or
more, and connected editorially with
the big newspapers, even Joe did not
realize that a magazine may carry
unpublished manuscripts in its safe
for a period of nu quarter of a century.
He had read jokes about such things,
but these he had considered as exag-
gerations, , Probably some of the
things he had read were exaggerated,
but during his first day as assistant
editor of the Juvenile he realized that,
after all, the comie papers had en-
larged less than he supposed.
In a great safe he found bundles
of dusty MSS. some of them very old.
When he ventured to mention the
matter to his chief the latter laughed.
“Accumulations of ages,” he said.

that she should write for the young
at first, believing that with added
skill she would be fitted later for a
mature audience. To write skillfully
for the young is hardly the leaser art;
but she did not realize this, nor the
value nor charm of her work
She was surprised, very much sur.
prised, and, sh, so delighted, when
there came to her, perhaps a fort-
night later, a brief and apprehensive
note from the editor of Juvenile,

her out into the fields to lie in

to whisper over and over to herself
that she was an author. An author!
a real live author who wrote for this
great new publication for young
which from the faraway city had sent
her a check for her first story, and
had asked for more! Dear heart! It
is good to be young and alive looking
up to the big sky to feel that some

It seems almost too bad that she
did not persevere. So many have per. |

why was it that love must come
along just then to divert and hinder.
True, she did not undertake the sec-!
ond story, but the same evening she
met Tom for the first time, and that
night as she lay looking out at the
stars she was not so sure that being
an editor was best thing in the
world, after all. She finally gave |t
up, and told Tom all about it when
she became engaged to him, and of
course Tom told her that when they
were married she should write stories
all day long if she wanted to

POWER OF OCEAN TIDES.
Bay of Fundy Presents an Interesting
Problem.
Tidal power has been utilized in
only a very small way; its large use
has always been considered dublous

occurrence; and, , tides are es
periodic, so that their direct
power is available only in two short
dally periods occurring in or

four hours as the month is rounded
out. Hence, the first problem of tide
utilization is storage of power.

reservoirs to extend the mse of the
tides throughout the twenty-four

British Museum Lottery.
The British Museum is to be ex
tended at a cost of $1,000.000-—which
will not be raised by lottery like the
$600,000 with which that vast treas
ure house was begun,
Of that lottery, authorized in 1753,
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Lord Chancellor, and the Speaker of
the House of Commons, were the mane
agers and trustees. The amount was
$1,500,000, raised by $15 tickets, to
provide $1,900,000 for prizes and $600,
000 for the purchase of the Sloane
collections and the Harlelan Library
and for cases, house room and at
tendants. ,
The operations of one “Peter Le
heup, Esq.” says the London Chron
icle, made the lottery notorious. He
frauduently “cornered” the tickets,
six thousand or so of them passing by
his ald to a Sampson Oldeon, who
sold them at a premium.
An inquiry, instituted by the House
of Commons, resulted in the prosceu
tion by the Attorney General of Le
heup. The penalty was a fine of
£4,000, but this was by no means ex.
cedsive, as £40,000 was Lehoup's es
