BC Historical Newspapers
The Cumberland News was published in Cumberland, in the Comox Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from April 1899 to July 1916. Published by Walter Birnie Anderson, the News served the communities of Cumberland, Courtenay, and Comox Valley, and was eventually absorbed by another Cumberland-based paper, the Islander.

Three of Warwick's letters lay on lop of It. neatly, ��������� as tbo hall boy laid placed tlicm; also bis weekly pnper from liome. Warwick glanced nt the letters, ngaln at tho clock, tossed off his hat, oont and gloves and carried tlio wholo lot, parcel, letters and pnper, Into Uie comfortable study aud dropped Into a deep chair. Thero was aa hour before tho crowd would arrive. Everything was ready, '.tho spread would lie sent up at S:30 sharp. Ho hoped Stanton would be able to get awny. He liked Stanton. Tho boy needed a good friendly grip just now. Ho knew himself what It was to bo in Now York a stranger, Money could not glvo ouo the password that admitted ono to tho Inside of things, the "getting next to the ituoss of all," ns Stanton said. And if the right path did not open aud ono happened to bo lonely there were others wide and welcoming, Warwick knew. The boy was young and clever. The only thing that ailed him was too much money and tho confidence he had therein. He was n bit handy with it all���������<ho whirl and the swing and-tho chance for big success. Warwick had kept an eye on him for weeks, measuring and judging him, and now he wns satisfied.. All flie boy needed were direction and a cool hand checking him uow and theu, aud he would win out. Warwick opened the weekly paper from home aud smiled to himself at lbe familiar beading, tbe Weekly Visitor. Ever since ho could remember 1ho Weekly Visitor had visited regularly at the quiet, big gray house that crowned Warwick's bill, up In Hills- boro, N. II. Aud Stanton was from the country, too, somo placo ont west, out in Nebraska. Ho wondered If he had a weekly paper, loo, t-������ keep him 1u touch with the old world and the ethics and standards of somclhiug besides New York. / The letters were unimportant. He took up the parcel and slipped off tbo oord. Laundry probably. He had not ordered anything. "The papeT'fellTo thefioorrand he sat slaring at the thing ln his hands. It was a pink, delicate, shimmering silken thing. He stood up and shook it out lo ita full length. IL reached lo the floor. It was not a bath robe. It could not possibly be n smoking jacket. It was a woman's garment, unmistakably. The texture was tbo softest Japanese crape, the silk interwoven around the ���������sleeves aud neck In a border of golden butterflies. There wns no mark on it nor on the paper. Warwick looked carefully. The doorbell buzzed imperatively, once, twice and a long one. That was Billy Trainor's ring. Warwick hesitated, east the pink Bilk thing behind bim on tho chair and opened the door. Hilly stepped in smilingly, Interrogatively looked about the room und spied tbe pink silk tblu$ "Ror," be said reproachfully. "Why, Itcx!" ���������"It wns loft here by mistake," said Warwick hastily. "The hall boy did It. What Is it?" Billy lifted It by the shoulders and beamed with the appreciative eyo of a connoisseur. "It's n kimono, the real Imported article, No bargain sale. Who's the lucky ladyV Tho doorbell buzzed again. Warwick took tho klmouo with deliberate forethought, went to Iho wardrobe lo his dressing room and concealed It therein. "It's Stanton," Billy announced, "and (he rest." ; ,., Warwick played tho host with more Inner discomfort thau over beforo In IiIh llfo. It wns not tho moro fact ot tho mistnko that troubled hltn nor that ho minded the boys knowing of It, but ho didn't want to seo that particular (what bad Billy called ItV) Iclmnno handled and laughed about and Hpocu- luted over.

It's my sister. Mother's sent her on to tnke care of mo until she can come herself. I guess they didn't get very good accounts of their Iltllo boy In Manhattan.

"I've found Warry's tablecloth. It's a dream!" Warwick Bat up and dropped hla cigarette. Waltzing dizzily, radiantly, wickedly out from the dressing room came Yates, arrayed in tho pink silk kimono. There was a sllonco, then a long*drawn bowl of delight from lhe crowd. They caught Yates In their arms, and swept him up on the center table. Thoy handed him n Samoan fan of dyed plumes nnd a Mexican peaked hot. Trainor at tho piano crashed into the "San Toy" over!uro. And suddenly Warwick stood up. whilo and mad, mad clear through Ihat they should dare even In jest to touch anything that belonged lo tha dear, unknown girl, the brunette with tho gray eyes. "Tako that off!" be said. Tho music stopped short, but not from his words. Kvery face in tho crowd .was turned toward tbo door (if the hall, and Yates looked helpless and miserable. Warwick turned, too. and held his breath. Sho stood in tho doorway, ono hand lining aside the heavy drapery- Behind her was George, tho colored hall boy. Her face looked startled, and yot thero was amusement, too, in tho wide gray eyes, as they glanced from faco to face and finally rested ou Yates. "There is some mistake.. 1 think." she' said gently. "George tells me a parcel of mine was left here-touight. I havo only moved here today, and he mado n mistake. I think that gentleman has on my kimouo." Wretched, limp nnd apologetic. Yates was -assisted from the lable and divested of the pink silk gown. "I am sorry to spoil your amusement"���������sho stopped and turned her head toward Warwick as the host, when all at once her eyes met Stan- "Marjorle!"' lie gasped. "Marjorle, you blessed kid!" SPECIFIC HEAT EXPLAINED. Capacity For Heat Varies In tha Different Metals. Tho specific heat of the body ls sometimes spoken of na capacity for beat, and hero, Uo It remembered, that the unit of heat is such a quantity as will raiso the temperature of one pound of pure distilled water from 00 to 40 do- grees F. This is ono British thermal unit or one B. T. U. Tho conception of heat is entirely different from that of temperature, as is often shown ln a ���������simple laboratory experiment. A cake of iiecswax about one-half Inch thick is plnced in a horizontal position a short distance nbovo Uie top of a table., A number of metal balls nre Immersed ^in n liquid having, say, i\ high temperature. All the balls soon have the same temperature ns tho liquid, and each of the balls is at the same temperature as all the others. If those balls with equal temperatures be placed on tho cake of wax they will all begin lo melt the war and sink Into the cake as they part with their heat, but the rate and depth of penetration into Iho cake will vary. For example, under these circumstances an iron ball will moll: Its wny through llio wax lirst. It will be followed by a copper ball of equal size. A tin ball will probably just show on the underside of tho wax, while a load ball and a bismuth ball may not -be ablo to do more thau sink half tlieir diameter Into tho wax. This experiment proves that while the temperature of all the balls was equal, the amount of beat or the.number of British thermal units possessed by each varied considerably. The Iron ball contained the greatest number of B. T. TJ. and the bismuth least. At the close of tho experiment lhe temperatures of Iho balls would all bo different, but the capacity for heat of each Is a property of tlio metal itself, nnd each maintained its own specific heat when all were at. the same temperature. Of all bodies, water has the greatest specific heat, and consequently it takes a greater number of thermal units to raise its temperature through njiy given number of degrees. Water heals comparatively slowly and cools comparatively slowly. Mercury and platinum heat rapidly, but they also ������00! quickly.���������Bail-way and Locomotive Kit- glnecring. LABOR SAVING DEVICE. Silently and .discreetly the crowd averted its composite face while Stanton kissed Marjorle ecstatically. Warwick looked unhappy. "Boys." cried Stanton, "this Is my sister, all the way from Nebraska to Manhattan to take care of her little brother." "Mother is here, too," Marjorle explained, blushing at the effusive welcome accorded her. "We had the address of these apartments, and you wroto that they, woro very nice, you kuow, and that Mr. Warwick lived hero"-* "That's Warwick." Interposed Sinn-' ton. "He's n bully fellow." Warwick bowed. Suddenly he felt a great, supreme gladness steal over him, She had gray eyes, Stanton's sister from Nebraska. "So wo'camo right here from tbo depot, and mother wanted to surprise you by having everything.",ready. I bought; my kimono on the way here, becauso our trunks haven't come yot, nnd tho boy made a mistake delivering it. Wo have tho apartment just across tbo hall. "Boys," cried Stanton, "come* on to tho apartment'across, tho hall and bo Introduced. You've got to mnko us welcome, because wo'vo como to stay." Decorously aud quietly tho crowd crossed to tho apartment next door. With dignity and beautiful grace'thoy. woro Introduced to" Stnhton'u mother and lo Stanton's homo, and Stanton know ho wiih accepted*nnd admitted forever to tho "Itnoss of Ihlugs." But Warwick sat in a corner watching Marjorlo mako too, ton from his tonpot, whloh (ho Jnp sorvnnt had brought over, and ovor tho back of lior chair hung tho pink"nlllc kimono, Ho wim wondering how sho would look In It. "Sugar?'' Hha nsked; "Ouo or two, Mr. Warwick?" "Two," said \yarwlck, with n hnlf suppressed nigh. "Sny, do you know Mar-Miss Stanton, I'm awfully glad you'ro a brunolle with gray eyes." "Why?" Mnrjorlo's head bont lower ovor Iho tonpot. Tea making does ro- qulro bo much careful attention. "Because," nald Warwick, "pink Is no becoming to that typo."

One of the most Interesting railway enterprises completed ln Europe within the last years Is the Uao that hae been recently opened across tho Scan- dinavlan peninsula for tho purposo of providing direct communication. .between the city of Bergen, ou the Atlantic seaboard, and Christians, tho capital of Norway. In constructing the lino great natural difficulties had to be and wero successfully overcome. The main difficulty was to find an easy pas- sago through the mountains of the Dovrefjeld range. Tbe district la question Ib tho most mountainous la Norway, with abort, narrow valleys, from which tho mountains rise .abruptly, If not perpendicularly, to"groat heights. The fiords penelrato far Into the country, and nearly all tho valleys forming the natural ouUIues* for tho railway scheme aro "traversed by, large Htreams. Altogether there nre no less than 181 tunnels on tho line, representing a total length of about twenty-four miles." The line crosses fourteen bridges. The constructional work entailed tho excavation of nearly 30,000,000 cubic feet of earth and '28,000.000 cubic feet of rock on- the high mountain section, while tho consumption of dynamite ran (0 1,800,000 pounds.' Thoro nre fifty-five stations'between Iho two (er- minal points. Of tho fourteen bridges, three nro In masonry, one having a span of 1,10 .foot and another being GCO feet ln length, with eight seventy- foot spans. Owing to the exposed nature ot thelinein the upper sections" above the timber line extensive fencing as a defense against drifting snow* was necessary beside tlie track, these screens bolng almost continuous for sixty miles between Mjolfjeld and C.jeilo. Tlio lino passes through a wilder stretch of country than any other European railway. The winter lasts nine months and sometimes long-"- er; tho snowfall Is heavy and (be rainstorms- lertific, Willi a tremendous downpour. The lino cost about $1~>,- G00.O0O (Ovbulld, and the difficulties of construction are'only equaled by those experienced In keeping it open for traffic. Three American rotary plows are used iu winter, and in summer one will always lie kept ready for service, as ji heavy snow block in midsummer is by ,no means 11 rare occurrence. The line, however, has reduced the timo of transit ��������� between Bergen and Christlania from fifty-four to fourteen hours, and'it Is an important highway for *trafh'e. ��������� Engineering Maga- . a 21 n e. 1 ' T__ '_. ^_ tf��������� ��������� Marking Criminals With Wax.

Mr. Edward Sonnies, "'solicitor, ot Essex Street, Strand, had a reputation for shrewdness nnd worldly wisdom which hnd already carried him far along Iho road of fortimr, and it was IiIb flxod intention thoy should bear hini to tho furthest goal of that pleasant road. Thoro wero certain peoplo who hinted that tho clover solicitor occasionally purimod methods which did not err on tho sldo of over scrupulousness; but theso .pooplo would ' liavn ��������� boen totally una bio to convert their hlntB into'assertions, or to provo tho assertions when mado���������for tho fair fame of Mr. Soames had never been smirched, and thoro was nothing to show that his practlco was not of- tho most upright and guilctess description, Ho wns' n fiharp lawyer; he prided himself upon bolng one, Just as ' ho prided -.liimsolf upon a curt abruptness of manner which had an overrawing effect upon*some,ot his clients, and, Rfter all, sharpness was as'necessary In his clients' Juterosts as in his own. This reflection wis passing.through his - mind on an April, morning when some of the frngrn'nco ot spring had contrived to penetrate evon into the dreary Essex Street.office, and Mr. Soames smiled pleasantly ns fleeting memories of his own phenomenal success raced across his brain.Ho evon caught himself humming a light and airy tune as his glance wandered round his ofllce, which in itself was a wholly uninspiring place. Nothing in its appearance suggested wealth or luxury; the. tablo had seen its best days, tho carpet was threadbare, and Ihe curtains', originally red, had faded into an indeterminate brown. The -'wall-paper'was'drab In colour and fearsome in' design, but the larger proportion of it was . rendered invisible by a book-caso containing dusty law volumes, aud by rows of black tin boxes bearing .iheir owner's names in white paint. No, there was' nothing stimulating to the imagination in the apartment, but air.

"A very curious coincidence, and���������If thero is any truth in tho ntory���������well-���������so much the worse for Sir Mllos Hernesley���������and possibly���������so much tho bettor for me," He hummed his tune more loudly, nnd tho smile on his face deepened only to die, away with lightning quickness ns a tap on tho door wns followed by tho entrance.of his clerk.
