After Floating Over 2,400 Miles
Through Behring Sea Cask Was
Found Off.Coast of Iceland.
Philadelphia.—Picked up several
hundred miles off the coast of Iceland
after floating over 2,400 miles over
the Arctic ocean, after having been
set adrift nine years ago, a cask of
the Geographical society of this city,
was brought to port by the Norwegian
steamer Cimbria.
The discovery of the cask, it is be-
lieved, proves the contention of Ad-
miral Melville and of other members
of the society that the Polar sea is
open and that the discovery of

the north pole may be accomplished
by patting a vessel in the northern ice
frack and allowing it to drift over the
open sea.
For years it has been a much
argued contention among scientists,
naval officers and geographical stu-
dents as to whether the Polar S|ea is
open across the pole, and for the pur-
pose of verifying this an interesting
series c£ experiments has been carried
on by the United States government
and the Geographical society of tins
city, in setting adrift specially de-
signed casks in the Behring sea. re-
cording (he dates when set adrift and

I point to the place where picked up.
The cask, according to Henry G.
Bryant, the president of the Geograph-
ical society, was set adrift July 24,
1900, by the whaler Norwhale, off the
coast of Cape Bathurst, British Amer-
ica.
After being tossed by the arctic
seas, and carried up the Behring sea
to the Arctic ocean, across the polar
regions and probably across the
north pole, the cask was picked up
off the coast of Norway, November 3,
1908.
A ROCKINGHAM DOOR KNOB.
Bought by a Lucky American in Lo

Rich Woman for $25.
London.—-Wlti the cutting through
of lew streets many anciea* booses
have been torn down in London. Some
of them were once stately resi4ences
and boasted bits of fine old brass, val-
uable woodwork and door knockers
so elaborately carved and wrought as
t* be things of beauty in themselves.
In the hurry of getting *rld of these
old houses some wonderful pieces of
age-colored wood and articles of brass
and china have been picked up by
those on the watch for almost noth-
ing.

tngbam china door knobs, the pride of
generations past, have fairly been

given away and the very . beautiful
knol> shown in the picture was pur*
chased by an enterprising American
who was watching the dismantling
and destruction of one of these
houses. Thirty-seven cents was what
the bystander paid for this door knob,
as Ice a specimen of Rockingham as
you could see.
Naturally the American was proud
of her bargain and meant to keep It.
She washed it carefully and put it in
the place of honor in her room and
wrote long letters about it to America.
Life in London is expensive for stu-
dents and one day the American
heard of a rich woman who wanted
Just that kind of Rockingham door
knob to match a set for a drawing
room, so she succumbed and sold her
treasure for $25. Now it is being used
again in a beautiful drawing room fur-
nished as nearly as possible in the
style which was followed when the
Rockingham door knobs were first in
vogue.

Hand Signals Used by Firemen.
A code of hand signals, which ap-
pears to be something similar to the
"tie-tar" operations of the race course
tout, has been adopted by the Edin-
burgh fire brigade. It is supposed to
be the only brigade in possession of
such a system. The uses are apparent
when a fireman finds himself isolated
In the upper part of, say, a tall tene-
ment. Leaning out of the window, he
could signal to his colleagues in the
street that the fire escape was re-
quired, or that another line of hose
should be brought into use. Then,
again, a fireman posted on the roof
could signal below that another
steamer should be telephoned for, or,
pefhaps, a second hose-tender, under
drenmstances when the loudest shout

A young Philadelphia Sunday school
teacher tells this story of the result
of an -attempted application of the
principles of economics:
For some time she had endeavored
to impress upon the minds of one of
her charges the names of the three
qualities, faith, hope, and charity. One
Sunday she presented the pupil of the
poor memory with three new shining
coins, a penny, a five-cent piece, and
a dime.
"The penny," she said, "represents
faith, the five-cent piece hope, and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time you look at them think of
what they stand for."
The Sunday following the teacher
reviewed the lesson of the week be-
fore, an4 called upon the holder of the
coins to produce them and give their
names in proper sequence. The
youngs^r shuffled from one leg to the
other, stammered, blushed and seemed
altogether overcome with mortifica-
tion. Finally he burst out with:
"Please, Miss Fanny, i ain't got
nuthin' left hut faith. Baby swal-
lered hope, and mamma took charity
and bought ten cents' worth of meat

woman reporter oa a country paper,
who was sent out to interview iead-

looking woman who opened the door

iwered the matron, decisively. "But

Irew up her tall figure. "Well, take
i good look at me," she said, "I'm the
party he belongs to!"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, whiqh not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.

When prominent men realize the in-
jurious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
:he benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
"My mother, since her early chiid-
ftood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
bad been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that 'weak all over' feeling and sick
stomach.
"Some time ago 1 was making an offi-
cial visit to a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. I noticed a
somewhat peculiar flavour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it He
replied that Jt was Postum.
"I was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, I bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
hole family were so well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
