trap 1 cai.ie ncrnss once, which a mnn 1
had had built with a view to catching j
anybody that miht stand in front of j

there was clearly some feeling in it. It
was a handsome room, promising look
ing from its richness, nnd when I turned
my Unlit on the bureau, where I went,
nntnrally enough, to begin, I whs not
disappointed. There was a glitter of
glass and silver in the bnllseye, and ns
I swept tho light along it struck a
pocket book thut didn't glitter mnch.
hut that looked fat nnd comfortable,
nnd a watch that did shine, nnd, tnke it
altogether, it made me think that bere
wns the home of a man thnt didn't
have t') work nij;hts to make both ends
meet. And so I set my lnmp down on
one end of tho bnrenn it mndo me
laugh, actually, to think thnt there was
so much good stuff there thnt I had to
shove something one sido to make room
for it nnd put my bag down on a chair
thnt wns there nnd began clenning the
things off.
"I'd just pnt tho silver hnirbrnshes
in the bag nnd had turned nronnd to
the bnrean ngain to pick np the pocket
book nnd the watch when I heard, or it
seemed as though I felt, a little click,
and just tho faintest touch of a jnrring
or yielding nnder my feet, nnd tho
next tastnnt, a long time before I conld
jump or do nnything whatever, a piece
of the floor under my feet about three
feet square dropped ont from tinder me,
and down I went.
"But I didn't give np, by a long
shot. I wns nn nblebodied man, and
my hands were free my lamp being
then on the corner of the bureau and
my .bag on the chair and I wasn't go
ing to give it up yet, if I was going
down a trap. The trapdoor was hung
on hinges on the side farthest from
the bureau, and I laughed to myself as
I pnt up my hands nnd thought how
easy it was to grab on to tho edge of
the solid floor running along just in
front of the bureau und haul myself up.
Truly it seemed like a waste of money,
all tho expense this man had been to to
put in the trap without gnarding
against the chance of escape from it by
just this means, and I already imagined
myself climbing ont as I threw np my
hands, which I did before I'd dropped
much more'n half of my length below
the level of the floor, gripping that firm
edge very tightly. I was going to make
sure of that.
"And I got it all right, bnt In about
a millionth pnrt of a second I became
conscious of the fact that it wasn't
stopping me at all ; I was carrying it
down with me. It was the front edge
of another trap cut in the floor nnder
the bureau, hinged trt the back and held
np in place by a spring just strong
enough to keep it in position. I held on
as hard as I could, but if I had had iron
fingers and steel muscles I couldn't have
held on after the trap had swung down
straight. I went down like a ton of
lead, and the next minute I fonnd my
self sliding through a smooth board
tunnel not much bigger'n enongh to
let me slide comfortably, and the next
minute I'd been shot into a box or room
about seven feet square through an
other trap in the top of it that closed
flush after I came through.
"Now, there was a situation for yon.
Me in a square box of hard pine, ap
parently in the cellar of the house, no
opening in it anywhere and my bag
with all my tools in it np there on the
chair by the bureau and me down
there with nothing, not a blessed thing,
to work with. But while there's life
there's hope, and I never should have
- thought of such a thing as giving np if
I could have had a chance. But I didn't
I hadn't been in the box two minutes
before there was a slide pushed back np
near the top on one side, and a man
looked in. It was the boss of the shanty.
And in five minutes the police were
there, and then I found they had a door
in this box big enough to get a man oat
of.
"I have seen other traps as elaborate,
but none, more costly. lie had to cut
his carpet, to begin with, around the
traps in this room. Of course that didn't
cost anything much, but it spoiled his
carpet, and then the cost of the traps
and the time contrivance, whatever it
Was, that was attached to the main
' trap that let me stand on it for a min
ute or two before it dropped, and then
the shoot and the box and the whole
tmsinoss couldn't have cost a cent less
than $1UU or $o0l. It cost me four
years' time." New York Sun.

Cirsar's creek, on the Florida coast,
wns named after a famous old pirato
called Black Cirsnr, whose profession
added to the risks of mnrinn insurance.
After tho pirates the Florida wreckers
came, of whom II. A. Willonghhy, In
his "Across the Everglades." tells this
story :
A large steamer was stranded on the
reef not far from Cape Florida. No soon
er had she struck thnn the new spread
rapidly along the shore. The people for
20 miles around gathered on the beach
opposite the stranded stenmer. Among I
them were a number of Indians from
tho Everglades, who chanced to be down
there nnd knew what a "wreck" meant
to the wreckers.
Tho steamer, loaded with an assorted
cargo, began to break np, and barrels,
cases and boxes drifted gradually ashore.
There were casks of wine, boxes of soap,
enses of bottles of wine nnd iron and a
hundred other articles. The Indians
seized upon the wine nnd soon were in
a condition that allowed the white men
to seenro the more vnluable prizes.
Tho sqnnws struck a bonnnza in a
case of vaseline. They thought It a new
variety of the white man's frying fat
and, starting a fire, fried pancakes in it.

Curiously enongh, the fact appears,
according to a recent traveler among
the Indians of Cntmquinnrn, between
the rivers Emhrya and Embyrasu, thnt
those people have long employed a wire
less telephony, but rather after the or
der of unwritten science.
It is made by digging a hole in the
ground inside a house and laying the
bottom with coarse sand, well piled.
On this is laid a wooden drum or hol
low cylinder of wood, half filled with
fine sand and layers of broken wood,
bone and pewdered mica the nppor
part of the cylinder, which is empty,
rising above the floor of the hut and
closed first by leather, then by wood,
and lastly by India rnbber. Outside,
the cylinder is packed round with frag
ments of wood, leather and resins, and
covered with hard rubber at the level
of the soil.
To use this peculiar apparatus the
drum is struck by wooden hammer,
and the vibration is evidently transmit
ted through the soil. The answer ia
heard in the drum, which acta as a
resonator, nnd messages are thus sent
over 1,600 yards from house to bouse.

On the third day after this, to the
