B, STOCKMAN, Section Director. Daddy's Bedtime Story- What the Tea kettle ' V&WWi.CMC) Jamci Wat Duty Thinking JACKand Evelyn thought this wns a very queer title for a story. "Hut It Is a true story," said dHdfly, "anil the lesson which the teakettle tnught was oue of the most Important lessons ever learned by men. Why, whenever you ride on a railroad or sail on o steamboat or whenever any one of a great many Important things Is done It Is due to the lesson which the teakettle taught to n little buy In Scotland almost 200 years ago. 'The name of 'the tioj was James Walt, and be was a bright, studious little fellow. He was like you. Jack. In one thing-be was always asking questions and wanting to know all about thlngs-wbat made them go and why they did so and so. One day James wus sitting In bis grandmother's kitchen. He was watching tbo teakettle, which was hung oil a chain In the great llrvplace over u hot Ore. , "As young James watched the kettle the water within It (uegun to boll. Boon It boiled at a great rate, the lid began to rattle and shake; uud tbo steam commenced lo'pour out of tbe kettle's spouL 'Grandma,' asked the boy, 'what Is lu tho kettle?' ' . '' 'Nothing, child; only water, said the old lady. - '"'But what Is It that lifts tbo lid and makes It rattle and shake?' "'Why, Jumes, that Is only tbe steam," said his gruudinotber.. 'You 'can see It coming from under the lid and comlug out of tbe spout.' " 'Hut. graudtna. you said there wns nothing in tho kettle but water. Where does the steam como from' "'From tbe water, lad,' said tbe grandmother. 'Steam always comes from water when you beat It But, tbere, do not ask me any more questions uow. 1 am busy.' "James was busy thinking. He said to himself: 'If tbo steam can lift the heavy lid of tbe teakettle It must be very strong. And if a small auvnm of steam. In tbe teakettle can llft-tbe lid a larger amount of steam should be able to lift other things that are more heavy. And so perhaps tbe steam can be made to lift things for people so folks will not bavo to work so bard.' "It took James many years to work out his Ideas. Tut he kept thinking and thinking about steam and Its power until In time he Uivcntod tbe world's first steam engine. He found that by beating ihe water In a great boiler nnd holding tbo steam In a cylinder, wbtch Is only it sort of a round box. It could be made to do much work. And all tbo world's locomotives and other engines are tbe result of the little boy's thinking what It was that made the lid ot bis grandmother's teakettle move." Jf1 BURGLAR LOOTS CHURCH Bold Robber Takes Altar Silver and Vestments From Chapel at Puna, Hawaii. (Htwclal llll I let In Correspondence.) HILO, May 21. An exceedingly pe culiar and roprchonslblo robbery took place nt Kapoho, Puna, a shoit tlmo ago, when a burglar secured tho altar silver nnd vcstmentB belonging to tho Catholic Church at that place.

On tho Bhelves wero stored books and sacred pictured, none of which wero of any great In trinsic value, but some of the arti cles In tho box, which stood on the floor of tho closet, wore of consider-' able value, an they Included tho sil verware used for tho communion ser vice, candlesticks, the altar stobo con taining relics, chasubles, robes, stoles and Burpllces, many of tho vestments being entirely new and of fine fnbrlo which might linve a temptation to thoso having a fondness for flno fabrics.
