Gas Tank Terrified Walters. Pandemonium reigned In El Prado cafe for a few fast and furious seconds, the Ilavana Post states. Shortly after 8 o'clock, when the extra waiters were busy handling the evening's largest crowd, there suddenly burst out In the cafe a rapid succession of short, sharp, hissing sounds: Psst psst psst 1 It seemed as though all Havana was suddenly giving the well known Cuban call for service. A hundred thousand people crowding about the cafe and shouting "Psst, chlco could not have created more excitement Walters looked under chairs, behind the bar, rushed to all their customers, wiped off tables frantically, tossed their napkins desperately In midair and gave other signs of frenzy. The fuss did not begin to abate until the proprietor, red faced and sweating with exertion, discovered the source of the hissing sounds.

A large cylinder of the carbonated gas In the corner of the cafe had sprung a leak, the gas hissing mysteriously as each whiff of It escaped. Vital Statistics. One of the census men called at the home of a workingman In New York, noted in his neighborhood as a great reader and a wiseacre for statistics. He found the man poring over an encyclopedia. "How many children have you?" asked the census taker.

"I have Just three and that's all there will be too," replied the man, looking up from his book of knowledge. "All right by why so positive?" "According to this book here," said the man with deadly seriousness, "every fourth child born In the world Is a Chinaman Saturday Evening Post CAMERA INSTEAD OF RIFLE Big Game Hunters Get the Thrill of the Sport Without the Useless Slaughter. It was a notable event in the history of the wild life of our country when the first big game hunter hung up his rifle and took to the woods with a camera. Ever since the first photographer went afield with a sportsman, the camera man has been the best exponent and advertiser of the prowess of the man with a gun. During the days of the slow and cumbersome wet plate and long exposures the alert and sudden wild animal was about as unattainable plctorially as the canals of Mars.

The dry plate opened up great possibilities In the photographing of dead game In Its haunts. From 1S84 onward American hunters of big game joyously welcomed the Startling pictures made by Laton A. Huffman of Miles City, Mont Mr. Huffman was a true sportsman, a fine shot, and as a photographer of hunting scenes he long stood without a rival. Never will I forget the thrills that I received In his little old log cabin studio in "Milestown," when he showed me his stereoscope views of "elk and dead grizzles, glory enough for one a mountain sheep ram on the blink of a precipice, many buffalo-killing pictures, and antelope and deer galore.

I think that Mr. Huffman who still lives and photographs enjoys the distinction of having had more photographs stolen for publication without credit than any other camera man on earth; and that I know, Is a large order. American sportsmen hailed with Joy the birth of the light, ever-ready, universal-focus camera. It was the opening of a new and delightful field of Christian endeavor. It presented a highway of escape from the flood of game-slaughter photographs that had been sweeping over the continent like a deluge.

It looks good, but the ends don't suit me." "The ends?" said the perplexed waiter. "What's the matter with them?" "Not fur enough apart," was the reply. The waiter took the hint London Tlt-Blts.

Why does a man never get married In ancestral harness? asks a writer In the New York Evening Sun. One reads In the report of a recent wedding In New Haven, that "the bride (Miss Dorothy W. wore a gown which was worn by her grandmother when the latter was married fifty years ago." In other cases It Is not the entire (own, but the "bridal dress was trimmed with rare old lace that was part of the wedding finery of the bride's great grandmother when that 'estimable lady was married, about (eventy-flve years before." But who ever read, "Mr. Bridegroom was quite handsome In a suit of black which was worn by his grandfather, the Hon.

John Bridegroom, when the latter married Miss Mehlta-jble Spanker In 18(50?" Nor does one ever learn from a 5 modern wedding report: "The bridegroom's feet were clad In shoes that great-great grandfather, Capt 'Peddedlah Timkln, wore at Bunker Hill and Valley Forge. The shoes, with only slight restoration necessary, In marvelous condition and lent a distinctly revolutionary flavor to i the bridal occasion." In fact, the bridegroom's clothing never gets mention, beyond "the con-. ventlonal black." If It did it would be only to relate some disaster too Important, unusual or ridiculous to be omitted, even In a wedding narrative. Two chief reasons are advanced for the lack of ancestral male garments the bridal altar. One reason Is the difficulty of making a man look even passable In his grandfather's rig, whereas a girl becomes more beautl-ful tn the quaint garments of a day.

Moreover, a man for his wedding In a John Hancock coat and knickers would claim JIS attention." the. brldfv and thaf fatal at "any wedding: But the real reason why a man does not marry In his grandfather's scenery Is because It Is not GrandT mother put her wedding dress carefully away and preserved It for her children. Granddad put his away for the nonce, but he was In no circumstances to preserve a perfectly good 'suit for another generation. He needed It In his own business. So eventually his hrldnl attire went the way of all men's clothing.

But it would be refreshing, some critics of the times say. to read once In a while In wedding reports: -The bridegroom's svelte shape was admirably set off by the bridal pants wern seventy -five years ago by his paternal grandfather, the celebrated Squire Blnglewhlffle. on the occasion of his marringe to the beautiful PruriVnce Winterhottom." Madrid Jammed With People. Spain's abstention from the war has not prevented a bousing crisis In that country. Tn the large cities the demand for apartments Is so great that new buildings are leased from roof to basfinent before construction Is fairly under way.

In Madrid the population has Increased SO per cent since the outbreak of the war. The recent arrivals are not only newly enriched Spaniards, but also refugees and visitors from belligerent countries, who during the war sought the Spanish capital as a peace oasis. The population of the city Is now approximately one million, or an average of seventy-two for every nullding. Its density of population Is believed to be greater than that of any other large town In Europe, or 2T1 per hectare (more than 100 per acre) as compared with 200 per hectare In Paris and 128 In London. In the central pnrt of the city the population reaches 773 per hectare.

It should be recalled In this connection that the buildings do not as a rule contain so many floors as In our country. Living Age. New Lace-Making Machine. Consul Hitch at Nottingham, England, reports an Invention by a resident of that city which, It Is claimed, will revolutionize the present methods of making Imitation real laces. The Inventor states that by meant of his Invention, which Is an attachment to an ordinary Levers lace machine, he can produce the lace the entire width of the machine, either In breadths from one Inch upward or the full width of the machine for allover nets.

Thus, a machine 100 Inches wide could be made to produce 100 breadths of one Inch, or fifty of two Inch, and so on. Two sets of Jacqnards are used, one operating the warp threads and other the bobbin threads. When Nature Conspires. We are told that the "waik'ng and climbing leaves" of Australia were, for over half a century, among the best attested of natural wonders.
