ty and happiness was indeed advancing in the most glorious way, and all owing to the Great Idea; and _now_ they perceived as one man that it had been the King's own Idea, and no doubt about the matter. So they made another day of rejoicing, and presented the King with a diamond throne and a new crown with "A1" in large letters upon it. And that King was ever after known as the very greatest King that had ever reigned. [Illustration] But it was the Pauper's Idea after all. J. F. SULLIVAN. [Illustration: _From Photos. by R. Gabbott, Chorley._] [Illustration] These are two photographs of a "turnip," unearthed a little time ago by a Lancashire farmer. We are indebted for the photographs to Mr. Alfred Whalley, 15, Solent Crescent, West Hampstead. [Illustration] This is a photo. of a hock bottle that was washed ashore at Lyme Regis covered with barnacles, which look like a bunch of flowers. The photograph has been sent to us by Mr. F. W. Shephard, photographer, Lyme Regis. [Illustration: LOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLOSION.] The drawing, taken from a photo., shows the curious result of a boiler explosion which occurred some time ago at Soosmezo, in Hungary. The explosion broke the greater part of the windows in the neighbouring village, and the cylindrical portion of the boiler, not shown in drawing, as well as the chimney, were hurled some two hundred yards away. [Illustration: Pal's Puzzle Page.] [Illustration: ON THE SAGACITY OF THE DOG. 1. "YOU SEE," SAID THE PROFESSOR TO HIS PUPIL, "I WILL HIDE MY GOLD-MOUNTED UMBRELLA IN THIS HEAP OF LEAVES----" 2. "----AND THEN TAKE MY DOG A MILE BEYOND THIS LONELY SPOT AND HE WILL RETRIEVE IT AGAIN." 3. MEANWHILE RAGGED JACK THE TRAMP IMPROVES THE SHINING HOUR. 4. FLIGHT! 5. "AND NOW," SAID THE PROFESSOR, "HAVING GONE ABOUT A MILE, WE LOOSE THE DOG TO RETURN TO THE SCENT AND FIND THE UMBRELLA." 6. WISDOM AND SAGACITY AT FAULT.] End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Strand Magazine, Volume V, Issue 26, February 1893, by Various *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK STRAND MAGAZINE, FEBRUARY 1893 *** ***** This file should be named 30105.txt or 30105.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/3/0/1/0/30105/ Produced by Victorian/Edwardian Pictorial Magazines, Jonathan Ingram, Josephine Paolucci and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.n
