This would be deemed incredible in -he or dinary course of events, since the gen eral public has become largely accus tomed to discounting heavily the dreams and indealistlc aspirations o* enthusiastic inventors. But Marconi has used his utmost endeavor to es cape this fatal classification. What he ias accomplished in telegraphy with out wires is a matter of scientific rec ord, and the successful operation of his system of communication over dis tances of from 150 to 200 miles has be come a recognized factor in maritime equipment and service.

J The morning sun brightened the gilt letters on the sign above the entrance to the staunch old warehouse, but its radiance was lost on the young man with keen, gray eyes who stood at the office door and hesitated before he turned the knob. In that brief mo ment he tried to recall the directions that Emily Quarles had given him. ''Father is peculiar," she had said. "You must know him before you can appreciate nim." And Spencer Grant wondered how long it would be before (his appreciative stage could lie leached. He hadn't met this peculiar father, and here he was standing on the doormat of his office mustering up courage togo in and ask him for his daughter. What else had Emily said? "Do not contradict father. Do just what ite tells you to do. Let him have his own way. If he biusters and fumes, wait quietly. He will soon cool down. Father's gruff manner is largely as sumed. ii you have tact, you will dis cover the way to handle him. Tell him truthfully, If you have a chance, how we met at Aunt Stanhope's, and that as soon as we were quite assured that we were all in all to each other, which, you must add, came to both of us as a complete surprise, I sent you directly to him. I will prepare him as far as I think judicious for your com ing. Keep up a stout heart and guard your temper." Spencer turned the knob and went in. Tnere were several clerks writing in tne outer office, but they did not look up as he passed along the narrow <pace before the high railing to the i!oor marked "private." He knocked at this door, anu a gruff voice bade him come in. Spencer summed up all his resolution and entered. A sharp-featured old man, with heavy eyebrows was seated at a desk, with his bushy gray head bent above a handful of papers. "Sit down," he said, without lock ing up. Spencer obeyed, and after a little the old man raised his head, glanced at the clock, and then gave the young mar. h long, searching glance. As he did so he drew a letter toward him and glanced at a page of it. Again he 6tared at Spencer. "Well," he said abruptly, "you are exactly on time. You were to be nere precisely at 10. This argues well for your early training. You have made a good impression on me to sturt with." Spencer murmured his pleasure £.t this favorable comment, but the old man interrupted him. "Your father says here that you re eemble him. He writes that the re semblance is so strong that I couldn't help but know who you were if 1 chanced to meet you anywhere. 1 don't agree with him. though there is a family resemblance. You are much better looking than he ever dreamed of being." "Did my fatner say that?" inquired Spencer hastily. He knew the thing was quite impossible. Emily's father was laboring under some queer delu sion. But he didn't mean to contra dict him. "Yes, he did," chuckled the old man, with a grim smile. "Fathers with but one child are apt to be asses." Then his tone changed. "What can you do? Can you write shorthand? Do you un derstand typewriting? Can you com pose a good letter? Can you spell?" "I think," said Spencer quietly, "that I can best answer that by saying that ! have a pretty thorough business training that was picked up in four years of practical work. I've heen hard at it, in fact, ever since I left college.'' "Your father doesn't make any such claim," said the old man. referring again to the letter. "All he says Is 'Try him.' I wilL I've made a place for you. i am going to indulge in the luxury of a private secretary. Ha, ha, ha! Here, take these letters. See what answers they need. Answer 'em. That's your little side room there. Leave the door open—l may want to call you.' Spencer smilingly took the letters and without a trace of hesitation wont into the little room assigned him. He found the conveniences he needed, and with his amused smile deepening he went at his task. Presently he heard the outer door of the office open and shut, and a mo ment later the following dialogue :'amc to him through the half-closed door: "So you have come," growled the old man. "Yes, sir," said a mild voice with a little quaver in it. "WeU.V said the old man with a dangerous rising inflection, "I want to tell you that it can never be!" "Do you mean that I won't do?" in quired the mild Toice. "That's just what I mean," snarled the old man. "Your comprehension does you credit." "But how can you tell till you've tried me?" protested the mild voice. "Tried you!" roared the old man. "What do you mean by that?" "I mean, sir," said the mild voico hurriedly, "that I hardly think it's fair to condemn me unheard and untried. I was led to think you would show ire more consideration." "Oh, you were, were you?" snapped the old man. "Well, sir, you have been falsely led. I know my daughter much better than you do, sir!" "Your daughter, air?" "Yes, my daughter! And don't you dare to mention her name!" "I—l had no intention of doing so, sir." "Eli? Coming to your senses, are you? That's right. She's only a fool ish, headstrong girl. In a month she'll forget your existence." "But I don't see what your daughter has to do with it She is nothing to rue, sir." "Spoken like a sensible youth. I thought I'u convince you. There, there, let the whole thing drop." "And you positively refuse to gi'e me a trial?" "Confound you. there you go again' Do you take me for an idiot?" "I —I wouldn't go as far as that, sir. You don't seem to understand that I \yas led to believe you would give me an opportunity to show my worth. I am greatly disappointed, sir." "Heavens, man, are we going over all that again?" "Try me for a month, sir." "Not for a minute!" "For a week." "Leave the room, sir! Go, sir! Go to the iaiot asylum and marry some body in your own mental class." "I'm going, sir. My father will ne greatly surprised at your unreasonable treatment." "Your father! Who cares for your father? Why doesn't he keep his weak-minded children at home?" "Good day, sir." The door closed with a sharp bpng, and there was a brief silence. I wonder what the deuce he meant by saying he'd tell his father?" Spen cer heard the old man mutter. "Who's his father? Well, whoever he is, his son shall never marry my daughter. What in the world could she have seeu in such an unbalanced fellow?" His heavy step sounded on the floor, and when Spencer looked up the old man was gazing down at him from the doorway. His face was very red and his white hair still bristled with indignation. "Well, Mr. Secretary," he said, "how are we coming on?" "Very well, sir," replied Spencer. "I'll lay these replies upon your desk in a few moments." "Good," said the old man. "By the way." said Spencer, "what do you want to say to Van Annam & Co.? They make an offer for your stock of cochineal, you know." "Accept it and tell them we'll ship the stuff tomorrow." "I wouldn't do that," said the sec retary. "Eh?" cried the astonished old man. "You don't seem to know that there is a corner forming in dyestuffs," said Spencer, with a slight smile. "Wait a minute, and I will telephone for the latest quotations." He arose as he spoke and stepped into the outer office and entered the telephone box. "It is just as I supposed," he said, as he rejoined tne old man. "Cochineal jumped 34 percent at the opening jf the market this morning. The oiu man turned and went back to his desk without a word. A moment later he looked in again. "That means $2735 to the good," he said. "Guess you'll earn your salary all right." Then he slowly addtl, "And 1 guess I'm getting old." The sound of an opening door drew his attention. A radiant vision ap peared in tne doorway. It was Emily. "Well, papa?" she cried, as she stepped forward. The old man's lips tightened. "I sent him packing," he said rapidly. "A most reprehensible young fellow. You didn't know him, my dear." Before she could indignantly remy an astonishing apparition appeared in the doorway of the inner room. It was Spencer—it was Spencer, bare' headed, with a pen in one hand and a bundle of letters in the other. As lie caught her eye he put his finger to his lips, shook his head at her over the old man's shoulder, and drew back. "Oh, father," was all Emily could say. "Don't feel bad, my child," said the old man. with a little tenderness in 'us tone. "Vou'll soon forget him." He lowered his voice. "I've got a young fellow inside there" —he jerked his thumb toward the inner door —"who is just tne man for you. Smart, splen did family, good looking, bright as a new dollar. Saved me $2735 this very morning! Hadn't been at work 20 minutes. Wait a little, and I'll intro duce him." "Let me have a look at him!" cried Emily, as she darted to the door. "Good morning," she said to Spen cer. "Good morning." answered that smiling youth, with an eloquent grim ace. Emily turned to her astonishe.l parent. "He'll do," she said. "Come out hare, sir." and they came forward hand in uand. "Bles6 my soul!" cried the paral/zi 1 father. "You are quite right, papa," said Emily. "He is just the man for ije_ In fact, I've thought so for some time, and yet I don't believe you really know who he is. You are getting reckless, daddy. Tell him who you are, Spen cer." "I am Spencer Grant, of Spencer Grant & Co., importers of dyestuffs and druggists' supplies, and entirety at Mr. Richard Quarles' service." "Spencer Grant & Co.!" gasped the old man, as a look of horror came over his face. "Then who was the other fellow?" "I'm afraid." said Spencer gently, "that it was the highly recommended son of your old friend." "Awful!" groaned the old man. 4 I was light when 1 said fathers with one child are asses. How can 1 explain?" "Suppose you leave the explanation to your new secretary?" said Emily. "Let me suggest," said Spencer, w.th a happy smile, "that you leave it to the junior member of the new firm of Quarles & Grant." And then the grim old man chuckled. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. CAPTAIN COOK AND CANNIBALS Portion oT IliH Vinrei'a Said to Have Been Ha ten by M intake. A new version of the alleged canni balism on the body of Captain Cook, who discovered the Hawaiian Islands has been brought to light by the su perintendent of public works, Jame; Boyd. Captain Cook was killed in 177S near Kealakakua bay, on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaii. The British government erected a monument to his memory near the place where he was buried. Accord ing to accepted accounts, parts of Cook's body were eaten by the natives who killed him, in the ferocity of the passions engendered by the dispute which led to his death. Superintendent Boyd, who is part Hawaiian, and well versed in Hawai ian traditions, recently visited Kona and met many old Hawaiians, who received the tale of Captain Cook's death from eye-witnesses. Boyd gath ered from them a well-connected ac count, which varies considerably from that which has been accepted by tlio historians. After the death of Captain Cool:, who had been regarded by the natives as a god, it was decided to make an offering of his body to the gods. The viscera was taken out and placed in a calabash, to be offered to one of the powerful gods of the sea of Hawaiian theology, the viscera being considered a higher and better offering than any other part of the body. The remaindei of the body was to be offered to an other but less powerful god. While the viscera was in the calabash, av,-ail ing a suitable time for the sacrifice, it was found by children, who, mistak ing it for the viscera of a pig, which was considered a great delicacy, built a fire and cooked and ate most of it The remainder of the body, as all ac counts substantially agree, was after ward returned to Cook's successor in command of his vessel. Natives who gave this account to Mr. Boyd showed him the place where the calabash containing the viscera was hidden when it was found by the children. The part of Kona where Captain Cook was killed, though dense ly populated and a very important part of the islands at the time of Cook's death, soon ceased to be im portant by the removal of the King's residence to Haina. and afterward to Honolulu, as Kamehamelia the Great advanced with his conquest of the islands. It has remained ever since the place least influenced by alien immigration, and today more than anywhere else the Hawaiians of Kona letain their primitive habits of living, industries and pagan beliefs, and some vestiges of the old practices. On this account Mr. Boyd thinks this accouni of the affair worthy of belief. QUAINT AND CURIOJS. The first organ in Boston, offered tc; the Brattle Square church in 1713, was unanimously and curtly declined by that organization; and its setting up in King's Chapel was attended by about as much agitation as the intro duction of the wooden horse into Troy.

The Jordan is the "Descender.'• During its course it falls over 120 C feet. At no point is it navigable, even by a small craft, to any considerable distance, and presents the unique spectacle of a river which has never been navigated flowing into a sea which contains not one living crea ture. A Missouri sportsman tells of a hun ter who, on a trip through the terri tory, shot two wild turkeys from the car platform. Tlu: obliging conductor stopped and backed his train so that the birds could be picked up. When he sent in his report of the delay of the "old man"he also sent along a piece of wild turkey—and everything was lovely. A case which is. probably unique in academic annals happened recently at the Budapest university. A confirmed lunatic, an inmate of the local asy lum, appeared at the university, ac companied by a keeper, and applied to pass his examination. He was quite successful in all the tests, and having duly received his diploma aa a professor he returned to the asy lum. In Siberia rivers flow over ice, olrt and solid as rock. A tributary of the Lena river has underneath the soil which forms the beJ of the river, a bed of pure Ice over nine feet thick. A freak of nature is the lost river in Kentucky. It is known as the Hidden river, because no one knows its ori gin, and it vanishes into a cave lead ing no one knows where. It flows without a ripple, and is of a pale bluish color. Speaking of color, the Chinese believe that the Yellow river has always been of its present hue. except one day about 3000 years ago, on which occasion a great man was born, and the water was clear for 24 hours. THE GREAT DESTROYER SOME STARTLINC FACTS ABOUT, THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE. to" llv Fire HII>I Loss l>y the Urluk CurM Money Spent For Liquor In Two Veili"» Kquuls Fire Losses of Ttventy fivn Years. In a receut number of Leslie's Week's there appears a contribution in which th<J losses by lire in the United States are in telligently discussed from the standpoint of the statistician. It appears that during the past twenty-six years fire losses have reached a total of $2,890,714,021, and thai the uninsured losses aggregate about sl,-' 100.000,000. The Joshes of the present year slightly exceed $150,000,000. Commenting upon this the New York Journal of Commerce says: "It is clear that the enormous fire v.asts is a serious tax on the resources of tha United States, and it is strange that pub* lie opinion is so dull regarding this waste* No other nation could stand such a drain and no other nation would. These figures present a valuable compar ison by means of which it is possible to ap preciate with some degree of exactness the enormous losseseaused by the drink traffic. The people of the United States pass over the bars of the saloons and hotels in only a little more than two years time a sum of money equal to the aggregate tire losses of the country for more than a quarter oj a century. Every dollar, every cent, oj that enormous sum is just as really lost as if the man who parts'with it should burn it up. Indeed, when all the facts of the ease are considered he is vastly worse off than if he had lost by (ire property to the value of the amount which he spends for drink, for he would be infinitely the gain pr in the transaction if when he has put his money in the liquor sellers' hands that worthy should refuse to carry out his part of the eontruet and should withhold the liquor that has been paid for. A minute's consideration of the fact* will show that this is the proper way oC looking at the matter. In the case of tho property destroyed by fire the loss lies not in the fact that certain material objects have been destroyed. It would be per fectly possible that such destruction should take place without any real loss to any body. The loss lies in the fact that a cit izen, or certain citizens, have been obliged to part with their uossessions without val uable return for them. The parallel be tween loss by fire and loss by drink, this principle being kept in mind, becomes clear. The man who has spent the value of a house for drink has just as really lost his money as if his house had been burned, for not a cent of his expenditure brought back to hiin the slightest valuable return. These facts present an astounding mar vel. Well i)iay the words of the Journal of Commerce be quoted: "It is strange that public opinion is so dull regarding this waste." —The New Voice. Alcoholism In fSercnanyV A Society for the Suppression of Alco« holism met recently in Breilau to con sider the drink question in Germany, anil found that it had distinct cause for en couragement in its tremendous undertak ing. Americans are so used to hearing German customs of drinking upheld as the proper ones to be introduced in thin country that it is something of a shock for them to learn that the per capita con sumption of alcohol in Germany is ten auarts every year, or five glasses of gin a day for every German—man, woman or child.' The empire, it .appears, spends $750,000,000 a year on drinl:. as against 83,000,000,000 for food. In the light of these statistics, the desirability of "Ger man beer gardens" in our American cities is open to much question. As a matter of fact, although there may be much leas drunkenness in a beer-con suming country the dulling effect of the drink upon the intellect Vnd the phvsicjue are too patent for discussion. A Munich employer of many skilled workmen, in speaking last summer of the difficulties of competing with foreign and even North German concerns, laid stress upon the cheapness of Munich beer as one of his greatest handicaps. "If we were on equal terms in every other respect," lie said, "the faet that my men's brains and bodies »re sodden with beer, day and night, would put me behind in the race." The society in nucstion denounced its own Government for introducing alcohol into its colonies. One-third of the Ger man imports into Tongoland and one-sev enth of those into German East Africa, it appears, consists of alcohol.—New York Post. Alcohol Does Not Heat. Since alcohol contains no nitrogen it' cannot, of course, take any part in the building up of wasted or worn-out tissue. That, alcohol is almost completely burned up when tuken in quantity of a half ounce or a little more at a time, and that its burning is attendul by the production oi heat is also proved by exact methods o£ experimentation. In spite, however, ofi the fact that it is burned and heat is thus produced, the temperature of the body is raised for only a few moments and tnen falls below the normal. These phenomena are due to one of two causes, or both of them, namely, alcohol produces a tempor ary dilatation of the surface vessels ajid thus increases heat radiation sufficiently to more than compensate for the increased production of heat, if more heat is really produced: or, the narcotic eflocts of the alcohol diminish the heat produced by les sening chemical change. It is quite cer tain, however, that the first cause given is entirely responsible for the fall of tempera ture. Recent experiments have been made upon this same point, and the con clusions drawn therefrom differ from those above, which are universally accepted by physicians to be true, but these conclu sions were based upon a misinterpreta tion of results. We may say, therefore, without fear of successful contradiction, that alcohol is not a source of bodily heat. The Crusade In Brief. There has been a growing agitation irw favor of temperance in France in recent years. Wherever the liquor trade is sanctioned by law its followers will be found to. bo sticklers for the law. In the Canadian Parliam«nt a resolution is to be introduced asking for the passage of a prohibitory liquor law. From the smallest patch on earth yow can sec the stars: from the grog shop you can see the workhouse and the prison. A great pledge siting campaign for Ontario, Canada, is being organised ny tha temperance forces of that country. In 1900 the cost of elementary education in England was £8.973,817. The amount spent in strong drink was £100,891,718. In 1898 there were 177,000 drink shops in Belgium, one for every thirty-five inhabit ants. These figures do not include hotels, restaurants or small grocers. Recently a schooner left Boston harbor for the west coast of Africa with a cargo of rum and gin valued at over SIIO,OOO.
