He seemed a gentlemanly fellow, and had an endless stock of good stories at his command, so that I was not sorry to hear that we were to I 3 companions for the rest of the journey, and flung my baggage down on one of the lower berths with alacrity. “We’re lucky,” he said, as we made our way up on deck; “the boats are usually crowded at this time of year, and it’s difficult to secure a cabin to oneself. Have a cigar? There’s plenty to see up here, isn’t there? I’ve been across some dozens of times.” I took the portly cigar that he of- fered me, and for a time we wandered up and down the decks, watching the crowd of passengers, Dutch, English, Hebrew and German, who had just come on board. It was not until the lights of Ilarwich were more pinheads in the distance that we decided to turn m. “We shall be half way up the Maas when we wake to-morrow,” he re- marked, Wishing me good night. “Good night,” I answered, turning over on my side. I recollect thinking for a few minutes of the jolly holiday before me ; of Mynheer Van der Denn, the Wealthy diamond merchant, and his pretty daughter, whom I hoped soon to make my wife; of skating and sleigh- ing galore in her company at Amster- dam; of the chance of my host being as read y to give his only child to a compar- atively poor young Englishman as he was to invite me to his house; of a dozen other things connected with my visit, and with past days, when the branch in Hatton Garden was being started, and the Van der Denns lived in London. And then, suddenly the roll- ing of the vessel, the throbbing of the engines and the fumes of the strong cigar I had smoked on deck must have overpowered me, for the next moment I seemed to hear the gruff voice of the berth steward: “N ow, sir, it’s time to get up, please. I called you some time ago, and thought you were dressed. \Ve’re just outside Rotterdam.” I rubbed my eyes drowsily, and darted up, knocking my head suddenly against the white ceiling of the cabin; and the berth steward, having at length succeeded in rousing me, hurried out to attend to his numerous duties. How on earth had I managed to oversleep myself so shockingly ‘3 A glance at the tumbled bedclothcs opposite showed me that my companion of the night before was already up. I could feel that the engines were beginning to slow down; while, through the port hole, trees” and houses on the bank of the river were to be seen. On the deck above I could hear the shufiling of many feet, the excited jabbering of Dutch and English Jews, the guttural tones of Germans, the shouts of the sailors to those on the quay.the plumpingdown of bags and boxes ready for landing. and boxes ready for landing. resist the temptation to lie down again, and began to fish about for my clothes on the berth below me. Iwas annoyed with myself for losing the early morn- ing trip up the river, and the sight of the snow-covered windmills, the quaint wooden houses, the low marsh lands and the curious little craft. that general- ly dot the Mans; I was equally annoyed with my roommate for his kindly con— sideration in not rousing me from my slumbers; and I struggled into my gar- ntents rather viciously. And then, sud- denly, it began to dawn upon me that something was wrong. What on earth was I to do? The clothes that I had fished up from below were not the ones that I threw on the berth overnight—they had been changed for others! By mistake or by design—yes, it must have been by de- srgn, for no such mistake could possi— bly have been made; the man in the other berth had substituted his clothes for mine. I flew to the electric bell, and rang vigorously for the steward. But by this time he was busy on deck, handing departing passengers their luggage and pocketing tips in return, and no one heard or heeded my summons. It was impossible for me, half clad as Iwas, to rush up above among the crowd; and as hastily as possible I slipped into the other man’s clothes. I had come of' much worse over the bargain, for there was not a sou in the pockets of the sub- stituted garments, while my watch and chain, money and jewelry were all missing. When I finally was in a condition to rush up the gangway—I need hardly say without finishing my toilet, for I was in my (or the othcr‘man’s) shirt- slccves—I found that most of the pas- sengers had left the deck, though a small group of officers were standing, on the shore side of the vessel, engaged in earnest consultation. The heads of a couple of Dutch policemen, distin- guished from the others by their curi- . ous, low-crowned helmets, towered above the group; and I at once rushed toward them, thanking the lucky chance that had brought them on the spot. “Have you got him?” I shouted, ex- citedly, no doubt cutting a curious enough figure in the blue shirt and short trousers that my friend of the night before had been considerate enough to lend me. “It looks rather as if we have,” said one of the sliip’s officers, glancing at me with a singular expression that I could not at all understand, in his eyes. “Blue shirt and light trousers—dark mus- tache—that’s all right, isn’t it, officer ?” he said in Dutch, to one of the police- men. “But where is he?” I asked, in sur- prise, looking from one to the other. “The fellow’s taken practically every- thing—watch, chain, money, clothes.” “Let’s have a look at the other things,” noring my question altogether, and turning to meet the steward, who was stumbling up thegangway under the weight of the clothes that I had left in the cabin. “Blue shirt, light trousers, dark mustache, astrachan overcoat, soft felt hat,” he muttered, checking of the items with a cablegram he held in his" hand. “And he speaks Dutch pretty well, but with a foreign accent. Yes, my friend, I’m afraid we shall have to take charge of you for the present, in spite of your clever little ruse. Just put the rest of your things on, please, and come along quietly.” “But what’s the meaning of all this?” I asked in bewilderment, as the hand- cuffs were clicked on directly I had fin— ished dressing. “A man steals my clothes and my money, and you lock me up for it, and allow him to escape. Is that the way things are usually man- aged in Holland ‘2” “You’ll see how things are managed in Holland where diamond thieves are concerned, quite soon enough, sir,” said the man, curtly, evidently annoyed at my- tone. “Any explanations or ex- cuses you can give later on; in the meantime, perhaps you will accom- pany us quietly.” “Yes, and in the meantime this gen- tleman is hurrying off as fast as trains can carry hinr to some out-of-thc—way corner of Europe,” I grumbled; but resistance was worse than useless, and, followed by a small crowd of stolid urchins, we made our way along the tree-lined Bompjes to the police station. Here a short interview with a fiery- faced and fiery-mustached officer told me the nature of my supposed Offense, but did not in any way improve my prospects of release. The object of my cabin companion was now quite clear to me, though all my exclamations with regard to the change of clothes were smiled at by the ofllcers, who evi- dently thought them very ' clumsy excuses. I was accused of being con- cerned in a large diamond robbery, and was supposed to have been traveling in Amsterdam in order to make use of my knowledge of precious stones in disposing of the spoils among the “fences” in the Jewish quarter of the town. The actual thief was confidential clerk to a large firm of diamond mer- chants in London; his escape with the booty had been noticed‘ a few hours after his departure from town, and full particulars of his clothing and general appearance had been cabled to Rotter- dam, with instructions to detain him on the arrival of the boat. But my “friend” had foreseen some difficulty of this kind, and had laid his plans ac- cordingly. Selecting me as a man of about his own height and appearance, he had man- aged easily enough to change the clothes in the cabin, the drugged cigar aiding him in his scheme. Clad in my brown ulster and traveling cap, he had passed off the deck with the other pas- sengers without attracting any special attention, and was probably in the act of negotiating with Amsterdam traders at the moment of my examination by the officers at the station. ' The fact that I had no diamonds in my possession at the time of my arrest meant nothing; they might have been concealed anywhere in the vessel, or even have been thrown overboard. The steward, to whom I appealed for sup- port of my story, could only assert that he had found me asleep, or feigning sleep, while the other passengers were all preparing to land—-and, of course, this told against me. There was only one man in Holland who could help me out of my scrape, and at the name of Van dc'r Denn, diamond merchant, of Amsterdam and I'Iatton Garden, the ofiiccrs looked even more suspicious, though they promised that he should be communicated with “in due course.” I was compelled to content myself with this, and resigned myself to nzyliatc. I suppose I must have spent four or five hours in confinement, and was be— ginning to wonder whether I was fated ' to pass the night in like fashion, when the“ key suddenly turned in the lock, and a warder entered, closely followed by my friend Van der Denn. “My dear fellow,” said the old boy, effusive] y, rushing toward me and grip- ping me by the hands, “what an ad ven- ture to have had, to be sure! But all‘s well that ends well, and when you have changed your plothes we will start for Amsterdam at once. Chris is getting quite anxious about you. _ “Why, certainly. We’ve got the clothes and. the jewelry, and the dia- monds, and, what’s quite as important, the man himself. It’s the most curious thing I ever knew in my life. Christina and I were expecting you hours back, and I was going to the station to see what had become of you, when I sud- denly caught a back view of your coun- terpart—traveling cap, and that brown ulster of yours, English every inch of it; why, I should know it a mile off in Holland—hurrying across the dam. I caught up to him in a moment, and laid my hand heavily on his shoulder-— and instead of your face, Holt & Mark- son’s confidential clerk turned to meet me, with terror in his eyes. I had the police up in half a minute; the dia- monds and your watch and chain were discovered; he confessed the Whole plot; and beyond that there is nothing else to tell, save that your things are wait- ing for you to slip into them as quick- ly as possible, down below.” I have little more to tell than Myn- heer Van der Denn had; save that I spent a jolly winter holiday, not in the whitewashed cell; that I asked Chris— tina to be my wife, and met with very little demur from her or from her fa- ther, who seemed to think that my ad- venture deserved some compensation; and, finally, that the handsome wedding present we received'from Holt &. Mark- son, out of gratitude for the recovery of the diamonds, has made me none the less cautious now of men “in the other , berth.”—Tit-Bits. said one of the policemen, ig- - This is what Salva-cea is doing.

M SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. -—In 1835 gold pen manufacturing be- gan in earnest and on a considerable scale in America, being inaugurated in New York by Levi Brown. —When hat making was introduced into America is not certainly known, but, in 1732 the industry had become so extensive that English hat makers com- plained bitterly that not only could they not sell their hats in America, but that American hats were actually sold in England. —'.I‘he enormous extent of the for— csts, and also of the lumber industries. of the northwest is indicated by the fact that this year Washington will make shipments of lumber aggregating 400,000,000 feet, Oregon 150,000,000 feet and British Columbia 40,000,000 feet. And there is no danger of the supply running short. ———San Jose, one of the principal Cali- fornia: fruit-shipping points, scnt cast in one week 1,140,060 pounds of green fruit, 2,303,835 pounds of sun-cured fruit, 870,050 pounds of canned fruit and 447,000 gallons of wine and brandy. During the same time Fresno shipped cast 40 car loads of raisins, making about 550 car loads of this fruit sent- castward this season. San Jose also sent east 53,280 pounds of garden seeds during last week“ ——Of the human heart Dr. Ephraim Cutter writes: “I have listened to the heart sounds of one woman and one man, both over 99 years of age. with feelings of awe, and have thought. how wonderful it was that these hearts had pulsated so long. propelling blood through vessels which if possible to be ranged in one line would on a very moderate estimate reach twice around the earth, or 48,000 miles, with a leeway for the average red disc of one—forty— eight-thousandth of an inch!” ——The antitoxin discoveries have in- fused the greatest amount of activity into the labors of the bacteriologists of Europe, and a correspondent of the Sun writes to warn young Americans that, for the present, they had best stay at home, for the eminentmen of the old country are too much engrossed with their own “original investigations” to have time for imparting instructions to others. He concludes by saying that "the scientific men of tO—day who are making investigations in bacteriology are as feverish as were the prospectors for gold in California half a century . ago.” . —Ether is preferred as an anaesthetic in northern countries and chloroform in’ the south, although ether tends to cause. secretion in the air passages and bronchial trouble. One cause is un- doubtedly the difficulty of keeping ether in hot climates. But Dr. Lan- der Brunton suggests that the gen- eral abstention from meat may be another reason for the successful use of chloroform. He is led to this from the increased number of fatalities un- der chloroform in Edinburgh since the introduction of American and Austra- lian meats, which has made meat eating more common among all classes in Scotland. —Dr. Heubner, professor of the dis- eases of children in the University of Berlin, has published an important re- port on the rcsults of the serum treat- Kincnt of diphtheria. The number of deaths this year in Berlin, 434, was 200 less than the average and 100 less than in the most favorable year on record, while the number of cases has in- creased. The same observation has been made in London and Paris. The treatment unquestionably facilitates the casting ofi of exudations in the pharynx and influences very favorably the course of the fever. The serum is perfectly innocuous. The probability of the complete success of the treat- ment is increasing every month. BITS AND BREVITIES. Whales are never found in the gulf stream.
