It fits. Give me a dozen boxes.” “What in the world are you going to do with them, Mr. Reeves?” in- quired the companion of the old pros- pector, Ronald Bond. It was at a seaport town in Aus- tralia, way over on the other side of the world. A street fair was in prog- ress. On their way to the interior Reeves and his young friend Ronald had strolled from their hotel to take in the sights. A species of Mardi Gras festivities signaled the occasion.

When they reached their | destination, however, the guide was ! taken with a fever, refused to re- ! main with them, and started back ! alone for his home settlement. “It's wonderful,” announced Reeves, one morning a week later. “Those English speculators knew what they , were talking about when they sent us | out here. There's a rich heap of rock over on thé range.” “Then it will be homeward bound, shortly,” suggested Ronald. “Home—and NeHie!” smiled Reeves, expansively. “We'll package up the ore samples, you finish your lode charts, and we'll see if we can't slip the natives.” All might have gone well but for the impetuosity of Ronald. He was long- ' ing to get back to “the girl he had left behind.” He suggested that they lessen time and distance by taking a short cut across the route the guide had followed. There were several alarms and nights of watchfulness after that. More than once the venturesome way- farers ran across little parties of savages, but evaded them or scared them off with a display of their fire- arms.

Come along, we'll get the rest. ‘But Reeves put out a staying hand. “Get that thing back to where you found it quick as you can,” he di- rected. “Why, what for?” inquired the sur- prised Ronald. | “If you had looked up into that| tree you would probably have seen' a burial platform. These are the trophies of some big chief,” ex- plained Reeves. “For any one to even' touch them is held as sacrilege by these superstitious natives. Missing that memento, the war club, they would trail you to the end of the earth to recover it. I advise you to take it back at once.” This Ronald did. He replaced the object just where he had found it and turned to retrace his steps to his | friend, half a mile away. Just then a wild uproar greeted him. Fierce yells rent the air. From behind a score of bushes as many dusky natives | sprang into view. Donald was surrounded, seized, his | arms bound, and dragged along by his angry-faced captors. He was led past an encampment of rude huts and into 8 large spreading cave in the moun- tain side. This seemed to be a sort of tem- ple of the savages, for it was hung with skins upon which was daubed in crude colors the picture of a . four headed idol. There was a stone pil- lar in the center of the cavern, and to | this Ronald was securely tied. ' He noted that overhead an open space ran up like a natural funnel, and about the post he fancied he dis- L | covered ashes as if this was the spot where the natives offered up their prisoners and enemies as human sacri- fices. His captors squatted in a circle and Jabbered away at a furious rate, They made menacing motions toward him, and Ronald could readily discern that they were discussing his fate, Finally after several hours’ delib- definite conclusion. Most of them went away, leaving two of their mem- bers to pile up firewood about the I post, “It's good-by Nellie! sure,” doletully . Tuminated Ronald, “‘and Mr. Reeves| i will never know what has happened to; me.” It grew dusk, and some llglmadI torches were placed around. Tha] natives came back in solemn proces-: | sion led by a man beating a hideous | tom-tom. They paraded around their victim. Ronald felt that his doom was drawing nigh, Suddenly he strained his gaze. Away back in, the gloom of the cave he noted a quick sparkle of light. This| grew to a sudden blinding radiance. A rushing whirlwind form, emitting a thousand dazzling sparks of fire ap- proached. ! It must have been a weird and, thrilling sight for the natives. To their unaccustomed eyes an angry “fire : god” was bearing down upon them. All over the onrushing figure there were ; spouts of blinding fire. They turned and fled to a man. “Quick, now, .and follow!” shouted the fire god to Ronald, cutting his bonds and leading back the way he had come. “Those sparklers,” explained Reeves as they gained the open air, and re-' galning their traps, started to get speedily away from their present nest of peril. “I found out they had cap-| tured you. I happened to think of those two boxes of sparklers. I stuck them all over me and lit them. It was & narrow escape, but the scheme worked fine.” | So fine that the awed natives d|di not even attempt a pursuit, and two months later they reached home—and Nellie! (Copyright, 1914, by W, G.

The rate at which the pres- sure of a gas decreases as it is cooled shows us that the pressure should van- ish entirely if the gas were cooled to a temperature of 273 degrees below gerS. Now the pressure is due to the molecular motion which we call heat, and if this motion ceases it means that we have remqved all of the heat; in other words, we have brought ! the gas to the lowest possible temper- ' ature. On this account it has been called the .absolute zero, and scien-’ | tific investigators have been struggling for many years to reach this ultimate goal, for it has been a practical cer- tainty that many of the properties of matter at ordinary temperatures will disappear, or become profoundly modi- fled, at the bottom of the scale of tem- perature.—Prof. R.
