The American Citizen

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the County Among the pleasing recollections of our flight to the beautiful city of Topeka last week will be the delightful afternoon spent at the cozy and pleasant little home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jordan of 187 Lane St., among the Kansas Citians who enjoyed the hospitality of the Jordan home were Messrs. U. F. Seales, J. W. Thatcher and W. C. Martin. The table spread on this occasion was calculated not only to tickle the palate but to gorge his royal highness. The home like appearance the warm open hearted and joyful disposition of these good people made one, all the more welcome beneath their roof of their long to be remembered home. Mrs. Jordan demonstrated with the assistance of Miss Mary B. their accomplished daughter that they were graduates in the art of cooking. Appearances and inquiries brought out the fact that the Jordan family besides being among the oldest and most reputable families are rather well an in the financial world. Miss Mary B. Jordan who is known throughout the state as being prominently identified with the Federation of Art clubs is a petite and accomplished young lady and has been for several years our most faithful and reliable correspondent. Mr. U. F. Scales of No. 5 fine station in this city is related to the family. Among the enterprising up-to-date Negro establishment in Topeka, one that should be an honor and pride to the race is the Capital Pharmacy Co., 929 Kansas ave. The entire Negro population of Topeka should patronize this institution it is well kept and centrally located the clerks ars polished gentleman and know their businesses. It is patronized by both white and colored and stands as a beacon light to the race an example of Negro push, determination and stickiness Mr. J. W. McCampbell is in charge of the prescription case while Mr. E. Graves is a clerk. Mr. Andrew Jordan is an interested party in the company, though not a graduate in medicine, he knows a w or two behind the prescription case. Through his geniality, whole souled ness and hale and heartiness, many a customer finds delight in patronizing the Capital City Pharmacy. Prof. G. A. Wade one of Topeka's brilliant lights undoubtedly understands the art of making strangers feel at home in the Capital city. He has the manners and bearing of a Chesterfield and his pleasing smiles and hospitality ought to certainly make him a favorite in society circles of any city. He was one among the many met while we tarried in the city. A Regret.

An author who had sent his latest effort in fiction to him received the following complimentary acknowledgement: "I thank you for the book you sent me and will lose no time in reading it." "I wonder what makes my eyes so weak." a fierce Radical once said to Disraeli. "It is because they are in a weak place." was the reply. An incident in the life of the late Lord Rosslyn shows how acute was the scene of humor in Disraeli. "What can we do with Rosslyn?" he asked of a colleague. "Make him master of the buck-hounds, as his father was," suggested the latter. "No, replied the premier, the sweater far too much for that. We will make him high commissioner to the Church of Scotland." And such he was made. —Chambers' Journal.

The Paris Jardin des Plantes owes its origin to a florist who, in the time of Henry IV, grew all sorts of native and imported plants to sell flowers as models to the manufacturers of embroideries and lace. Four railway lines now connect Mexico with the United States. In 1880 there was only one railway in Mexico, leading from the capital to Vera Cruz. P. J. Howard, a colored man of St. Gabriel, La. is the inventor of a sugar cane loading machine which was given a public trial recently at New Orleans and proved highly satisfactory. Howard has patented his invention and confidently expects to realize a fortune from it. Andrew Carnegie will remain at Skloo until the second week in October. Before returning to America he will open the new library at Greenock, deliver his rectorial address to the students of St. Andrew's University, and receive the freedom of Dundee. Charles H. McElvin of Fort Scott and Palmer W. Coe of Pratt have been appointed railway mail clerks. Miss Margaret O. Heinz of Oakley has been appointed to a position at Navajo, Indian school, Arizona. D. B. Swingle, of Manhattan, has been appointed scientific assistant in the agricultural department at Washington. Free delivery service will be established on September 1, at McPherson, Henry A. Kittell, Fred H. Oakes, carriers; Joseph E. Reiff, substitute. "Missouri" Reed, a farmer near Wellsville, received a proposition recently that tells the story of the big corn crop in Kansas. A neighbor offered to cut and husk and crub 29314 corn crop and take as his pay all the corn over 100 bushels to the acre. The offer was rejected. "I have tried the Coffelt murder case in Cowley county twice, and will not try it again," said Judge James Lawrence, of the Cowley-Summer district court, while in Topeka recently "I will let my successor try it the next time. When the case is called for trial at the fall term of court, I will continue it." Carl W. Scott, a newspaper man well known over Kansas and Oklahoma as the promoter of special edition features for newspapers, has been convicted by a jury in the district court at Salina calling sold a typewriter belonging to W. I. Krehbiel, of the McPherson Republican. He must serve a jail sentence. H. F. M. Bear, superintendent of schools in Wellington, in partnership with his brother-in-law, C. Mason, has bought the Roswell Record, a Democratic paper at Roswell, N. M., and will resign his position in Wellington in order to take editorial charge October 15. Mr. Bear is a member of the state textbook commission. The marriage of Miss Mame Tinodele of Lawrence and Mr. Charles E. Elwell of Santiago, Cuba, took place Wednesday evening at the home of the bride, in Lawrence. The bride is a well known and popular Lawrence girl. The groom was formerly connected with the Santa Fe at Lawrence and in other places, but for the last four years he has been engaged in the lumber and hardware business in Cuba. In chambers in St. Louis, Judge Thayer, of the United States court of appeals, granted an injunction restraining the city of Wichita from interfering with the poles of the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company, which for several years has been using the streets of that city for its lines. The case was set for further hearing before Judge Thayer in Wichita on September 15. Grasse, even in the opinion of sober historians, would appear to be one of those towns which are predestined to commercial prosperity, and, what is more, its inhabitants through the ages of its existence have shown themselves capable of benefiting by those gifts with which nature has been so prodigal. Omitting allusion to more remote periods, we have the authority of the historian Bouche for the statement that in 1180 all European countries provided themselves with soaps manufactured at Grasse, while the town was also famous for its oils. In 1420, as Massa informs us, its odorous essences, fine oils, exquisite fruits and renowned leatherers were a source of great prosperity. It may interest many to know that, according to the testimony of the greatest historical authority upon Grasse now living, nothing precise has as yet been discovered in the municipal archives relating to the origin of the perfumery works.-Gentlemen's Magazine. Fortune telling by means of the finger nails, onychomancy, as it was called, was common in ancient times. The practice was to rub the nails with oil and soot or wax and to hold up the nails thus prepared against the sun, and upon the transparent horny substance were supposed to appear figures or characters which gave the answer required. In more recent times people have been found predicting by means of the nails of the fingers and telling the dispositions of persons with certain descriptions of the nails.

The orders of decoration borne by the German Emperor are worth about $225,000. His most valuable decorations are the insignia of the Black Eagle, the Order of St. John, of the Garter, and of the Tolson d'Or. In all, he has over 200 crosses, stars, badges, and other insignia. The English cotton manufacturers, who have for so long a time depended on the United States for their raw material, have raised a guarantee fund of $250,000 for the purpose of promoting the cultivation of cotton within the British Empire. The Kaiser has sent to Lord Kitchener a pressing invitation to visit Germany before he goes to Russia. This letter states that the entire German army would esteem it a privilege to be allowed to welcome so distinguished a soldier. At a dinner recently ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed gave this definition of fame: "it is largely a matter of accident. Being in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing—or, better still, making people think you are doing the right thing—is about all there is to fame." OKLAHOMA BRIEFS. Schools in most of the cities in Oklahoma will open on September 1. Perry will call an election to vote water works bonds to improve the present system. A postoffice has been established at Prague, Lincoln county, with David Barrett as postmaster. An Oklahoma man, named Moore cultivated ten acres of broom corn this year and has just sold the crop in the field for $1,000. Oklahoma postoffices discontinued; Osage, Pawnee county; mail to Skeedee; Shade, Beaver county; mail to Liberal, Kas. The name of the postoffice at Botsford, Comanche county, has been changed to Temple, with Richard Rudisill as postmaster. The Oklahoma & Southwestern rail, road, the Frisco extension Southwest out of Oklahoma City, has the steel laid to Lawton, the county seat of Comanche county. J. M. Barger a prominent merchant of Lone Wolf, was almost instantly killed by stopping from a mixed train at Lone Wolf after being informed that the train would not stop there. He was thrown violently to the ground and received fatal injuries. Old Bull, an Omaha Indian chief, who was a survivor of the wars waged against the Indians by General Custer, at the battle at Lone Wolf. Coly. He was in the Custer battle at Little Horn in 1876 and afterward entered the regular army, serving until retired on account of age. The decision of the interior department virtually attaching a strip of land four miles wide to Oklahoma from the Chickasaw nation has brought thousands of people to El Reno to file at the land office. More than 400 filings were rejected Thursday. Special trains are taking in crowds on every train. The rush for these lands promises to be almost as great as the opening last fall. There are about 1,500 farms in the strip. Land office officials are rejecting all filings on the ground of illegality. INDIAN TERRITORY The name of the postoffice at Parmicha, Chochaw nation, has been changed to Onley, with Horace M. Orr as postmaster. The comptroller of the currency has approved the application of the following persons to organize the Cherokee National bank, of Tahquah, with a capital of $25,000: J. W. Perry, Waddle Hudson, W. T. Richards, Thomas J. Adair, Robert A. Stephens, Carter D. Markham and others. The Dawes commission has announced that it will continue in session at Tahquah from August 30 to October 31, for the purpose of receiving applications for the enrollment of such infant children as may have been born to recognized and enrolled citizens of the Cherokee nation on or before September 1, 1902. The body of the woman who was found beside the Katy track near Caney, Friday, has been identified as that of Miss Barbara Bates, of Knoxville, Tenn. She was about 40 years of age, and was en route to Texas. It is thought that Miss Bates fell from a train. The game law of the Osage nation is that prairie chickens and wild turkey may be killed from September to October, and that they may be shot from February 1. It is unlawful to shoot deer at any time. Outside parties found hunting or fishing on the reservation are liable to have their guns and tackle confiscated and to be fined and deported outside the state. Application for an injunction against Indian police to prevent them from ejecting large herds of cattle into Texas, has been denied by Federal Judge Bryant, at Ardmore, on the ground that he has no jurisdiction. The federal government is enforcing the tribal cattle tax of 25 cents a head on cattle in the territory. Several stockmen refused to settle and their stock was driven to Red River and put into Texas.

Typewriter factories have increased rapidly in the United States since the home has come into almost universal use, at present forty-seven factories, with an annual product worth more than $7,000,000. The foreign sales for 1900 amounted to $2,700,000. There are $292,517,072 invested in the newspaper business in the United States, divided among 22,312 establishments, which employ an average of 136,837 wage-earners. Three evening papers are published to every one morning newspaper. As many of the Paris hospitals are not up to modern requirements it is proposed to pull them down and build new ones. The cost would be $15,-000,000. "If I had 100 or 1,000 children," says E. Benjamin Andrews, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, in a recent lecture, "I would want every one of them to play foot ball, if they were strong enough, and to play it hard and strenuously. Boys ought to be trained in strenuousness. That is the great value of foot ball; it is a school of endurance, courage, and resolution." A LAND OF BUGS. The Philippines Seem to Have Every Variety Under the Sun. Omaha Bee: The Philippine islands seem to be a land of bugs. Most of the pestiferous insects invade places ordinarily exempt from their intrusion and much complaint is made by sensibility in the island on account of this visitation of the insects, a rare opportunity for the entomologist. The bugs seem to rival the Pittsburgh pickle in variety, at least. The persistent mosquito appears to be the most annoying of the insects, not merely because of its attack, but on account of its shrill, ceaseless song. There seems to be no way by which the inhabitants can be protected from this pest. It is probable that the sufferers in the islands will be able to extract some comfort over the success of the campaign to effective warfare will be waged upon the mosquitoes in our Pacific possessions. But we do not have to go to the Philippine islands for discomforts of this kind. A correspondent at Fort St. Philip, La., gives a sprightly account of the situation at that point. There doesn't seem to be much else than mosquitoes in the air and snakes, alligators and noisy frogs in the neighboring swamps. Our correspondent says everyone is afraid of mosquitoes, would be bound to be broken in health, spirit and efficiency if it survived the onslaught of the mosquitoes, which have the growth of the fly and the deadly pertinacity of the bumblebee. Outwitted by the Lawyer An English harrier recently told an amusing story of an old legal victory he won when, as counsel for the defendant, he was examining the complainant in a certain case. His client, "Hat" Wheelock, had got into a quarrel with one "Pat" McDonald over a horse transaction. The quarrel had gone so far that McDonald had made application to a magistrate to have Wheelock bound over to keep the peace, alleging that he had threatened to force McDonald to kill him. When the case was called McDonald testified to the circumstances under which Wheelock had threatened him. The cross-examination began: "Now, Mr. McDonald," the lawyer said, "you declare that you are under fear of bodily harm?" "I am, sorr." "You are afraid for your life?" "I am, sorr." "Then you freely admit that Hat Wheelock can whip you, Pat McDonald." The question roused McDonald's "fault" instantly. "Hat Wheelock whip me? Nivver!" he shouted. "I kin whip him army holf dozen like him!" "That will do, Mr. McDonald," said the attorney. The court was already in a roar, and the lawyer concluded the case without further testimony or argument. The action was dismissed, for it was evident that Pat could not be under serious bodily fear of a man whom he could whip so easily—New York World. Awful Prophecy by Russian Baby. An afternoon paper assumes responsibility for the following: "In one year's time there will be a great war between the world powers, and in three years we will witness the coming of the millennium." This startling prophecy, it is declared, was a short time ago made by a male child only 3 months old, born in a small village near Warsaw, Russia. Mr. S. Berilj, a seventh street merchant, recently received a letter from his father in Russia relating the incident. According to the letter, the mother left the home for a few moments and told her 7-year-old daughter to look after the babe. For some reason the little girl became accustomed and began to cry, according to the letter, she was started to hear the 3-months-old baby address her plainly with the words: "Don't cry; mamma will be back soon." This unexpected speech from such a source scared the girl still more, and she ran out of the house in search of her mother, to whom she related the incident. The mother immediately went in to the baby and began questioning him, and finally the boy spoke again and said: "Send for the rabbi." The rabbi was immediately called and several of the neighbors who had noticed the excited state of affairs about the house also dropped in. The case continued. When the rabbi entered the room where sat the prodigy the baby refused to speak until he and the rabbi were left alone, and when the room had been cleared, it is said, he gave utterance to the prophecy mentioned previously. A few days after Mr. Berlin received his letter with the story of the wonderful child another with a letter from a different party relating the same incident as that told in the first letter. It is said that the prediction has created great consternation among the Jews of Russia, as, naturally, it was calculated to do. Several Hebrews told a reporter that, according to the Torah, the millennium is due in about three or four centuries by the reports that have come from Russia. They consider this prophecy as a verification or reminder of the approaching reign of the Jews. The destruction of the Mohammedan and anti-Christian kingdoms and the restoration of the Christian God, they say, are all that is necessary to the introduction of the millennium. —Washington Dispatch in Baltimore American. His Editorial Message Atlanta Constitution: When Martin Baddles went North with a grip full of poems the janitors and editorial attendants, suspecting his purpose, turned him down. At one office he displayed his wares to one of the editorial guards, who raid: "The editor won't talk to you about manuscript—he's full." All right," said Bailies, as he packed the room. "I tell him I'll call around when he's full." The Genius of Quincy. There are wise and solemn men who disbelieve in what is called luck, swear that there isn't any such thing, and teach their young that success is due to virtue and industry alone. Now, last week a gas and oil company was putting down a test well in Ohio. What was struck? Oh, nothing but gold and coal. We don't say anything about it, but it is curious how about finds, finds, things and how the treasures in the bowels of the earth rush out at 'em. For example, Col. Jim Gufetz of Philadelphia, and various other states. He was prospecting for zinc in Arkansas last winter. One very cold day what was his surprise and pleasure to find coal, wood and not soapstone on the same spot. If this is not luck, it is genius.—New York Sun. Like Explorer Baldwin, many a young man has been "baffled but not beaten," in account of the ice given him. FUTURE NEW YORK FUTURE NEW YORK WORLD'S METROPOLIS TO BE SEEN IN THE CRYSTAL. Formation of the Biggest City in the New York letter: With the Rapid Transit system in New York half completed and tunnels planned to extend under New York, Brooklyn and Jersey in all directions; together with the practical uniting of Staten Island and New York by a filling in process, it begins to look as if the formation of the biggest city in the world was well under way. Five or six years ago before any of these projects were worked out a payciph from India made some computes now brought to light concerning the future of New York which seem to be in a very fair way to be verified. This is what he said then: "New York is to be tunnelled through and through. North and south, east and west. She is to be a net work of tunnels, viaducts and bridges, whilst that horrid incubus, the L. road, is to be removed from the weary New Yorkers. Pneumatic tubes, another consumption long devoutly wished for, will link in one gigantic system the great city which will stretch from Hohokus or Paterson to the confines of Long Island. They will enable the Hohokusian to call up his Sixth Avenue butcher and fresh cut chop in a few seconds. They will be to calling up the hello girls and waving half an hour for Sixth avenue, however, as thought transference will inform the butcher what is needed. This will wipe out the postoffice and the telephone monopoly at a bound. New York City will have been connected with Staten Island and Governor's Island by a process of filling in which will entirely change the topography of Manhattan Island. Immigration is not to be restricted, apparently, for down in this new section are to be the foreign quarters or colonies of the different nations which will come in from many new parts of the world. The enormous vessels of the American merchant marine will need many hundreds of thousands of sailors to equip them, and floating out from the most palatial docks will predominate all the other navles of the world. To Europe will be a question of a few hours only, whilst Australia, India and Africa will be reached in a few days. A tunnel underneath the Atlantic is also promise about this time. Great Britain is to have become a republic and the ally of the United States in developing civilization in all parts of the world. Incidentally electric trains will travel at the rate of 150 miles an hour. The mentalograph is to do the work of recording thoughts, and a mentalographic letter, swept along by an electric current, without the assistance of human hands, will reach correspondents by means of cleverly connected pneumatic systems with head and sub centres all over the city. A click will its arms and to the person for whom it is installed and the thoughts will be disclosed by generated magnetism. You will simply have to sit and think at your ticker and away the message will go. This system will knock out the ocean cable and metamorphose the newspaper into a thought tablet. Air boats will carry the New Yorker of A. D 2000 on any mission of pleasure that he cares to undertake and will have driven the ubiquitous blue out of existence. Clean street cars and clean streets will be universal, as they will be purged by an electrical system under the charge of a modern Waring. Practically have ben swept out of existence as the pneumatic communications with enormous stores of all descriptions will render shopping unnecessary. Automatic chairs, started upwards by pushing a button will rush the people up to any flight required in their 30 or 40 story houses. The manipulation of chemicals will enable the city to dispense with its fire department and a large fire will have become impossible. Observatories on the top of most of the houses with enormous telescopes will enable people to visit the cities will enable New Yorkers to look at their friends in Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and other smaller cities. Medicine will have been displaced by mind healing and religious bigotry by humanitarianism. This will disappoint socialism of its prey at the last moment and the struggle between labor and capital will be settled without the aid of a central labor union. The Weary Willies will all have found paradise by being provided with energy and medicine that have become so philanthropic that they will not care much about riches. Municipal affairs will be organized on a basis of much greater simplicity, the offices then falling naturally into the hands of the intellectual and refined. In fact the city will be ruled more by science than politics and political feal-ousies will have passed into the limbo of oblivion." Sove glean from this crystal reader of the most ideas are revealed through the records of a local psychical research society. It is a pleasing and comfortable possibility to contemplate under any circumstances. WILLARD COOK. Reflections of a Bachelor Fat women ain't half as jolly about it as some people think they are. A woman is never too old not to play with fire, and never too young not to know better. Mighty few girls who go away from home wouldn't be a heap better off back with their mother. When a girl seems to have nothing at all on her mind, it is a sign she is managing a multiple-duplex flirtation with difficulty. It's nothing that makes a woman brag about her husband more than to have-him always right; and there is nothing which makes her madder with him.—New York Press. When He Gave Cheerfully Anecdotes of the elder Dumas abound at the present moment, the celebration of the centenary of his birth having led to a general search among reminiscences.

Nowhere is to be found a more pompous or a more awe-inspiring person than the headman, who plays in India the role which the official hangman plays in an European city. His deadly work he performs with great skill and in his bearing there is a certain dignity which is never seen in a European hangman. Moreover, while in Europe the populace regards A KING OF THE KINGDOM OF KASHMIR. a hangman with a feeling which is partly contempt and partly horror, the people of India respect and fear the public executioner and never seem to think that he has lowered himself in the social scale by accepting the office of a headman. On festive occasions, and when arrayed in his robes of office, the executioner is decidedly a picturesque figure and altogether different from the somber and grim hangman of Europe. NEW WEATHER VANE One can measure at any time the force of wind by means of the instrument known as an anemometer, but in this way it is impossible to obtain any vivid idea of the wind's velocity. The anemometer will tell accurately whether a wind is travelling at the rate of 20 or 30 miles an hour, but it cannot make visible the difference between a moderate and a strong wind. A German inventor has now devised a device that measures the force of the wind can be clearly observed. The principal parts of this new invention are an anemometer and a vane. These two M parts are connected in such a manner that the force of the wind is measured on the anemometer, while at the same time the rate at which it is going can be observed by the motions of the vane and of a revolving plate which is attached to it. Moreover, for both purposes a scale is used, which shows whether a wind, blowing at any time, is light, moderate, strong, stormy, a gale or a hurricane. Those who have seen this device say that it does excellent work and would prove extremely useful on school-houses and at race tracks and seaside resorts. There are at least one hundred varieties of flesh-eating plants in the world but only three are common in Great Britain. They are the sundew, butter wort and bladderwort. ONE TUNNEL LESS. In traveling from Luzerne to Chiasso, on the St. Gotthard line, the train passes through 79 tunnels. Now, how many tunnels does it pass through from Chiasso to Luzerne? "Seventy-nine, of course," will be the natural answer. But this is not so, as on its return trip it only goes through 79 tunnels. This is because, at one point of the road, near Fado, the tracks are separated, one of them passing through a small tunnel, but the other being laid on ground made from material excavated from the tunnel. The world's coal fields cover at least 1,250,000 square miles. SHOWER OF RATS News comes from Algiers of an extraordinary phenomenon which recently took place in the suburbs of Bougie. Soon after a cyclone passed through the town thousands of huge rats fell in a shower to the ground, to the horror of the Kabyles, who at sight of them fled in all directions, since they were concerned that the animals had come down from heaven. Many of the rats in falling became impaled on the large pointed stakes which act as palisades in various parts of the town, but the majority reached the ground uninjured and lost no time in scurrying to the open country. The savings banks of New York have cut down the rate of interest on deposits to $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent.

Kansas City, Aug. 23—Much interest both in the trade and among the shippers, is being shown in the area now going on of the new Baker system for processing perishables so that can be shipped in close cars with refrigeration. While the promoters are confident of final success they are also conservative in their claims and appraisal. Their influence to public appraisal or criticism especially refreshing in these days stock jobbing schemes and hot fakes. The concern behind the Baker process is stylish the int. Storage & Portation Co. Manager Singleton, has charge of the tests and will be the transportation department of the company, is an experienced railman, having represented the Erie for many years. Manager Singleton states emphatically that there is the stock for sale and that the company has ample capital signed whenever may need to increase. As a proof this he is buying outright all the items being used in the tests and ships are not being asked to risk a penny to the Baker process was tested as real oral tests last year, peaches shipped to Buffalo from West Bend and being sent out in small bags open process several days later only back to the starting point be distant cities. One car of peaches sent to New Orleans. Eggs were away and various experiments made. The concern holds a number of贮sements from these. Several tests have been made the season. A car of peaches sent from Tyler, Tex., to minneapolis turned partly a failure, due, it is shown from letters, both at loading and receiving points, to the careless loading where the crates shifted, mashing the low-tiers and causing havoc. The brood who sold the fruit at Tyler cortisles they were overripe when loaded. The car was six days out. This could hardly be considered a fair test. A car of peaches sold by H. W. In Chicago, brought a fine letter signed by a number of leading Chicago fathers. The stock came through a splendid shape and the system was pronounced a success. A car from Rogers, Ark., recently came to Kansas City to McPariat Black. The car was out 36 hours from Rogers and lay on a siding here from Wednesday night till Friday afternoon. The weather was such that ordinarily all the stock would have rotted quite unless under ice and well cared for. The receivers sold the fruit all along with that coming in refrigerator cars and report the buyers were pleased to every instance. A crate sent to the Packer office showed up well and specimens held for several days in the ordinary atmosphere remained firm and in good condition. A few bristled peaches laid on a shelf, dried up gratefully. Under ordinary conditions that would have been a macs of decad pulp. Manager Singleton and Mr. Baker the inventor, go to Rocky Ford next week, where a test will be made on cantaloupes. Several cars will be sent out, some as far East as New York in Boston. The Baker "process" is a secret and consists of burning a powder of some kind in a close car. The fruit left in this gaseous atmosphere several hours. Before arriving at destination the ventilators are opened and the gas allowed to escape. Small lots are treated in a close room built for the purpose. It can be used on any kind of a car which can be rendered air-tight and no machinery is necessary. A activation agent can "treat" a car before it is billed out so that it will go through safely to its destination. The cost of the treatment is per cent less than the present costs charges and saving to the shipper the space now used by the ice bunkers of refrigerator cars. The company is now demonstrating the system to especially convince road managers and fruit shipers. It is not ready for business nor does it solicit any orders. The tests will be continued in various parts of the country and on a variety of perishables. The promoters claim anything in the way of vegetables and fruits can be handled successfully and until they have shown this to be a fact no attempt will be made to get business. If the Baker system turns out ever half as well as the promoters hope for it, it will work a revolution in the trade and trucking interests, since a common box car can at small cost be insulated and ceiled so as to render equally as useful for handling perishables as the present expensive refrigerator cars. That the private car lines will adopt it once its success is assured is certain since none of these lines hold interests in ice plants.—From the Kansas City Packer.

Mar- coni in an address recently delivered be- fore the Royal institution. The re- marks of the great inventor are neces- sarily compressed here in order to meet *pace requirements, “The method of space telegraphy. of which I intend speaking, 4s founded on & comparatively new way of controlling and detecting certain Kinds of electric ‘waves, much slower in rate of vibration than ‘light waves, called Hertzian waves. after the scientist who first demonstrated their existence. ‘The mathemetical and experimental proot by Clark Maxwell and Heinrich Hertz of the identity of light and electricity, and the knowledge of how to produce and detect certain prevtously unknown ether waves, mede possible this new method of communication. I think 1 am right in saying that the impor- tance of the discoveries of Maxwell and Hertz was realized by very few, and even, perhaps, so recently as a year 20 A great number of sclentiflc men would have hardly forseen the advances which have been made in so brief time tn the art of space tclegraphy. “The transmitter consists of a modt- fled form of Hertzian oscillator, the main feature of which ts in haying one sphere of the spark discharger carth- ed and the other connected to an ¢le- vated capacity area or to a compara- tively vertical wire. ‘The two spheres are also connected to the ends of the secondary winding of an induction coi or transformer. When the key 1s press: ed the current of the battery is allow- ed to actuate the spark coil, which charges the sphere and the vertical wire, which, when discharging, causes a rapid succession of sparks to pass aeross the spark gap. ‘The sudden release cauised by the spark discharge of the electrical strain or displacement created along certain lines of electric foree through space by the charged wire causes some of the electrical en- ergy to be thrown off In the form of a displacement wave in the ether, and, a8 a consequence, the vertleal wire he- comes a radiator of electric waves.tn this connection ft is interesting to re- member that Lord Kelvin showed mathematically more than 40 years ago the precise conditions under which such a discharge as we are considering would be oscillatory. Tt {s easy to un- derstand how, by pressing the key for longer or shorter intervals, tt 1s possi- ble to emit a long or short succession of impulses or waves which, when they intnence a suitable receiver, produce on it a long or short effect, according to their duration, in this wav reproducing the Morse or other signals transmitted from the sending station. “The receiver consists of a coheret (on the nature of which I hope to make a few remarks later) placed in a ctreult containing a local coll and a sensitive telegraph relay actuating another cir- cult, which works a trembler or deco- “here and a recording instrument. In its | normat condition the resistance of the coherer is Infinite, or at least very great and the current of the battery cannot pass through It to actuate the tnstru- ments. but when influenced by electric waves the coherer becomes a _compara- tively good conductor, its resistance falling to between 100 and 500 ohms. This allows the current to form the local call to actuate the relay, which In turn causes an- other stronger eurrent to work the re- cording instrument and also the tap- per or decoherer, which fs so arranged as to tap or shave the coherer, and in this way restore its sensitiveness, Tho practical result is that the cireult of the recording instrument 1s closed tue e dink ential to that daring which ‘They Got the Shell. A story from which one might draw several morals was recently printed in the New York Times. It may suggest at Ieast, the wisdom of thinking twive before consulting a lawyer when there Is little at stake, ‘Ths two men were ushered into the private office, the other day, and stood in silence before the lawyer. “well?” sad he. “You ask him,” urged one of the men. ina hoarse whisper. “Wait a minute,” counseled the oth- er, “Maybe he'll guess it.” “Come, come, gentlemen, my time is valuable,’ interrupted the lawyer. “We are twin brothers,” chorused the two, “and we thought you'd have guessed it.” “Ts that all?” asked the lawyer, se- verely. “No,” continued one of the strange pair. “We want to ask you a question A relative died a short time ago. We were his only heirs. He left @ paper, saying that his oldest surviving relative was to have all his property; but neith- er of us Is the oldest. So what are we going to do?” “How much did he leave?” asked the lawyer. “Seven dollars,” cried both in con- cert. “Divide It,” sald the lawyer. “What is your fee?” asked one. “Seven dollars." The two men pafd the fee between them, and departed, relieved of a great mental burden. Most people imagine that Lord Wol- seley, who completed his 69th year on June 4, is an Irishman. As a matter of fact, the ex-commander-in-chlef, al- though born in the Emerald Isle, be- Tongs to an anclent Staffordshire fami- ly. Lord Wolseley has probably been in more engagements than any other general. Since entering the army in 852 he has served in Burmah, India. China, Canada, Ashantee, Egypt, and, finally, the Soudan. ‘The St. Louis Globe-Democrat has a atspatch describing a military dinner given to General Funston at Prescott. Ariz, One of the officers toasted the general, and spoke of him eloquently as the hero of the Philippine war. Funs- ton responded in fust three sentences He sald: "I don’t 100k like a hero.

One end of the tube or coherer is connected. to arth and the other to an insulated con- ductor, preferably terminating in a ca- pacity’ area similar in every respect to the one employed at the transmitting station. “L noticed that by employing similar vertieal rods. at both stations it. was possible to detect the effects of elec- tric waves, and in that way convey the Intelligibie ‘alphabetical signals. over distances far greater than had previous- Iy been believed possible, and by means of similar arrangements distances of transmission up to about 100" miles were obtained. “It was soon, however, realized that ‘so long as it was possible to work only ‘two installations. within what. T ‘may call thelr sphere of influence avery tm- portant limit to the practical utilization of the system was Imposed. Without some practical method of tuning the stations, t would have been” imposst- ble to work a number in the vicinity of each other at the same time with inter- ference caused by the mixing of mes- sages. ‘The new methods of connection whieh T adopted In 1898—Le,, connect. ing the receiving vertical wire or aerial directly to earth, instead of to the co- herer, and by the introduction of a proper form of oscillation transformer In conjanetion with a condenser, no a8 to form a resonator tuned to respond best to waves given out by a given length of aerial wire—were important ‘steps fn the right direction. I had, however, realized at the time that one great difficulty In the way of achieving the desired effects was eatised by the ac- tion of the transmitting wire. A straight rod in which electrical oseilla- tlons are set up forms, as fs wel known, a very good radiator of elec- trical waves. In all what we call good radiators electrical oscillations set up by the ordinary spark-discharge :neth- od cease or are damped out very rapid- ly, not necessarily by resistance. but by electrical radiation removing the ener- gy_in the form of elvetric waves. “It {3 well-known fact. that whon one of two tuning forks having. the same periow of vibration fs set in motion, waves will form in the air, and the other tuning fork, {f in suitable proximity, will immediately begin to Vibrate tn unison with the first. Tn the Same way a violin player, sounding @ note on his instrument, will find a re- sponse from a certain wire, out of all the wires in the piano, happening to be the only one which has a period of vi- bration fdentical with that of the mu- sical note sounded by the violinist. ‘Tuning forks ‘and violins, of course, have to do with air waves, and wireless telegraphy with ether waves, but the notion In both eases ts similar.

G. MARCONT! Menelik to Missionary. Little favor is shown in Abysinnia to missionaries, Menelik, the ruler, being of the opinion that the orthodox falth is good enough for his subjects, and, therefore, those who go thither with the object of spreading the doctrines of the Roman Catholic or Protestant church think It advisable to say that tholr sole object 1s to convert Hebrews and pagans. “This was what a Swedish missionary ‘recently sald when Menelik, before ‘whom he was summoned, inquired as to the object of his visit. When he heard {t the ruler asked: “What countries were you obliged to cross in order to come here?” “Germany, Egypt and the Soudan,” replied the missionary. “And were you not able to find in Germany any Hebrews whom you might have converted?” asked Menelik. ‘The missionary was obliged to admit that he had seen many Hebrews in Germany. “Well,” said Menelik, “first convert the Hebrews and the pagans In Ger- many and then come here and convert us.” “ita hour later the disappointed mis- sionary was being conducted to the frontier by Abysinnian. soldiers. -. The conferring of the rank of heredi- tary nobility on the Asiatle explorer Sven Hedin has evoked a violent con- troversy in the Swedish press. Atten- tion Is called to the fact that the last oceasion when ‘«.# a “promotion” was made was as long «go as 1880, when the explorer, Captain Palander (now chiet of the Swedish marine department) was thus honored. Even then this act was generally decried as an anachronism; now some of the radfcal journals de- mand that the law be altered so as to make such a proceeding {mpossible hereafter. Others point out that Sven Hedin might have been honored in @ more practical, and doubtless more wel- come, way by paying the debts t.e has ‘been obliged to incur and restoring to him the large share of his private means he has sacrificed. Reports from Fort Liscum, the new Alaskan post, 2,800 miles north of Seat- tle, say that the Indians and Eskimos, ‘who form almost the only population outside the post, are forsaking thelr native Mquors for very bady whisky, which is sold at $2 a bottle. It costs $59 to send a carcass of beef from Seat- tle to Liscum, and all meat is equally high-priced, pork chops, for instance, often selling at 5 cents a pound.

BY ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ, (Copyright, 1901, by Authors’ Syndicate.) = |FTER coming to Redwood. 1 AL| Parson Wentworth hac hhad to endure as best he could the attentions of several unmarried. ladies VER) of the parish. ‘These at NGWZ| tentions toot snape on the RONG) evening of his arrival. He AWA} found a beautiful table es MG See tee er en nee previous bits of silver and china and odorous with flowers, A particularly beautiful vase bore a card announcing that the supper was “the compliment of Miss Sophronia Nesbitt.” The parson ate the supper without thought of the donor save that it was a most delicate welcome, but stood aghast when he en- tered his bedroom and found tt lke- wise adorned with flowers, the snowy bed turned back Invitingly, mono- grammed towels and even a befrilled “night garment consplenous in {ts pos! tion. ‘The pincushion, an elaborate af- fair in dotted Swiss and lace over blue, -was adorned with an. inseription in “pins: “Welcome, dear brother!” and {n front of a very rampant water color in a gilded frame over the mantel was another card announcing that Miss Cel- I Smickler had prepared this room with her best “compitments.” Descend- “ing the stairs, he found the small parlor or study had been Mkewise furnished and adorned by Miss Julia Bowles, from embroidered foot-rest and tidies to a lava smoking set, which made the parson stare. “How did she know about my after- ‘supper cigar?” he wondered. It was “his one weakness. | Altaretta, the midate-aged help tn the Kitchen, afforded the parson no little consolation. She was evidently on the, side of celibacy, and she sniffed con- temptuously over the onslaughts of the three maiden Tadles. |_“T doubt ff you can hold out, str," she ‘said, grimly, a few days later. “Miss ‘Coly was here this morning, and the sewing circle ts gong to begin on a dozen he ahrt for you thiaitern00n. You're well takin care of—too well, T'm thinkin’, Tt's no use for me to say anything. This parish owns this "ere house, and I'm Jest an hunble instru ment in thelr hands.” Rev, Alpheus Wentworth was tall and good-looking. He had not arrived at “the age of 35 without succumbing to matrimony. A” brlef romance and a [briefer wedded Ife had saddened his | iWfe—but that was ten years ago, and now so the parish sald—he should take another wife, From the first Intima- tion of his coming the parish snuffed ihe battle from afar. ‘There were three maldens in Redwood eligible and will- Ing to become the wife of the new par- son. By the time he arrived the battle was on and Redwood was rapturous over a new sensation. ‘The rivalry was 80 open and mant- fest that the parish familles began to take sides, Tn the Invitations to supper jand even in outlying places for over Sunday that at once crowded in on Rev. Alpheus, the parish preferences were plainly shown, At some houses Miss Julia Bowles, dark and earnest, sup- posed to be literary and decldediy su Derior, was asked to mect him. At other houses Miss Sophronta’s adher- ents gave her the seat next to him at supper and slyly praised her industry and cooking. Miss Celia Swickley had “Tevor relatives and thus fewer oppor- ‘tunities, but she made up for it by be- ing four or five years vounger, and was said to be more worldly. The actual arena might well be aald to be. the sewing society, where the rival factions met. Over the dozen fine shirts there was something like open warfare, but Miss Sophronia created a. most intense exeltement in the meeting when they were finished by moving ‘that a dozen new sheets and sets of pil- Tow eases be made at the next meeting for the parsonage. Miss Sophronia’s ‘faetion had been much depressed by the shirt movement, but thelr spirits arose in this affair. “Mra. Peter Nesbit her aunt, moved. to Include another tablecloth and a dozen napkins. "That will shut out the Bowleses,” sho whispered to her slster-in-law. Shey are so great on table lnen T knew they were going to move a table- cloth and napkins.” Tt was certainly the turn of the Bowles party to do something superior. In the meantime Parson Alvhens had spent. Sunday with, Judge Bowles at Maple Side: had taken tea with Miss Cells aunt and attended a family din her at Dr. Nesbitt’s. He had gone on his way without displaying any pref- erences; Indeed, he modestly talked to the married women and avoided female soctety, From the three candidates he falrly ran, and tt was sald that Altaret- ta alded and abetted him tn several fichts down a rear lane. ‘But the change from a busy elty par- ish on account of his health was try- Ing to the parson. His Yelsure was irk- tome, He’ was unutterably lonesome Without that constant press and hurry of mission work, boys’ clubs and parish Interests. He longed for it because it had filled his days and made him sleep from. sheer weariness. He missed Eloise more than for ten years, Even -Alfaretta noticed it. “You're lonesome,” she sald, tersely. “well, It’s nateral. Why don't you go callin’ on the ladies?” ‘Alpheus regarded her with a frown. “with all this commotion and talk? 'm afraid to speak to a single woman.” ‘Alfaretta laughed. “they've actually bit off their own noses,” she sald, sagely, “but you can visit the sick. I hear that the Widow Paul's little Phil is down with a fever. T'm fixing up some jelly now for some one to take down there. ‘The fever al- ways docs bad work In those creek bottoms. ‘Thus Alferetta became an hunble in- strument in the hands of Providence, The parson went, not only one day, but dnother, to the several sick souls on fhe flats. And, ministering, forgot his Toneliness ones more. The sewing circle met one afternoon at the parnors over the Sunday school Moms. They were to finish up six sets Of ruffied Swiss curtains, deemed nec- Geary by the Bowles faction, to lighten {ip the parsonage bedroom windows. hey were discussing whether thes ‘might not now take up some work for we do a little for those sick people on the flats. They need sheets and pillow eases and nightgowns. ‘The ministe: has been taking over the parsonage things. There are 11 cases of fever and it is certainly spreading.” “Does your paw think it's catching?” Inguited the anxious mother, ‘He says I's infectious” replied Miss Sophy, “and Brother Wentworth has been over there day and night. Paw says he’s run down anyhow, Seems as if we ought to do more.” “What can we do?” said Miss Julia, in her superior way. “I'm willing to give money. Why not get a nurse oF two from the elty and relieve us from feeling that we are doiniz nothing?” Tt was voted an excellent plan, but Miss Celia, who sat near the door, had fa bright spot on each cheek. “Maybe we had better not wait," she sald, quietly, “since things are so bad. T'm ‘not afrald to go.” ‘There was a chorus of “Obs!” and negatives. Only one little, weazened woman who did not count for much save to do a great deal on the sewing machine, said she'd “go if she was needed.” ‘This’ pushed the plan about the nurse to a head and one was to be telegraphed for at once. But at that ‘moment Alfaretta burst in breathlessly: “Exeuse me, but the parson’s down— fairly ravin’ with fever. He's been sick au day, but I tnought he was just tired out. I'got to have help.” “The fever!” gasped Miss Julla, re- treating hastily. ‘They all hnddied away Into a corner, Teaving the little woman and Miss Cella in thelr chairs. Alfaretta’s eyes swept the room with ‘a sarcasm not to be misunderstood. “The fever, yes!” she announced, “and he a man of God that went down ‘among ’em over there with no thought of danger. Now he needs help.” Mis Celia reached down her hat from a hook behind her. The small woman folded her work up. “There's no need of any more,” sald Miss Celia in a low tone, “we can be- gin, anyhow, and they'll telegraph for a nurse, I'li not stand back, and Mrs, Hodges will stay with me.” “Don't you dare go!” shrieked her aunt, “you'll bring the fever home.” “Then I won't come home,” Miss Cella said, “Im all alone, anyhow, and it aon't matter.” ‘She went out of the door. Alfaretta and the small woman followed, some- what amazed at the turn matters had taken, At the parsonaga door the handmatden grasped Miss Cella’s arm: “Tve made lots o' fun o° you to him,” sho said, hoarsely, “but I take tt back, You've got the real feeling, you have." Miss Celia smiled wanly. “No, E haven't,” she sald. “T didn’t care a straw only to have a little fun going on and beat the others, But I'm not afraid.” "Then she went steadily up the stalr- way to the room with the blue pincush- fon and monogramed towels. ‘But there are people In Redwood who pelfeve that Providence played them a shabby trick when the fever came over from the Flats and the minister's long {Mness ended with a marriage. THE PRESERVATION OF WOOD. Many Ingenious Methods by Which ‘Timber is Kept from Decay. "The problem of the preservation of ‘wood is very Involved and is full of re- ward for successful inventors. ‘A member of a New York firm which fs engaged in the business of preserving, Wood 1s quoted by the New York Even- Ing Post to the effect that the simplest method of preservation 1s charring. “Bvery old farmer knows,” said he, “that if he burns the end of a chestnut post in the fire until it 1s covered with a thin coat of charcoal tt will last from ton to 30 years longer when set up In the ground tnan if put there In Its nor- mal condition .Noxt to this are the paints, which do excellent work in cold and temperate climates. A piece of ‘wood painted evers two or three years will last centuries, but this does not ap- ply to wood employed on ships or in the piles of wharves and bridges. Ma- rine animals bore through the palnt and attack the wood beneath tt. ‘The paint acts as a protector, but the protection is small and limited. In this field the best results have been obtained by the ‘use of coal tar, copper palnt, arsente paint and mereirial paint, When you Teach the tropies paint is almost worth- less so far as preventing the attacks of white ants Is concerned. They bore a hole through the paint, go Into the In- terior of the log or timber, and eat out all the tissue without disturbing the paint skin on the outside. The only process which seems absolutely efficient ‘is to charge the wood with some polson- ‘ous fluid, which 1s antlseptlc, non-vo- Jatile and permanent. Solution of zine, fron, copper, arsenic and mercury have bean tried, and have all given good re- sults, The best were obtained by fore- ing through the pores of the wood a strong solution of the double chloride of ammonia and mercury. After the ‘wood was charged it was lal aside to dry, during which operation the am- monia and the water evaporated, leay- ing the corrosive sublimate uniformly distributed through the ligneous tissue, ‘This made the lumber proof against any form of animal life. “Why is it not universally used? The cost. It requires a heavy pressure and expensive apparatus, and the mercury itself is worth something like halt a imebhes a senna, HOBSON AND THE BARBER. Ottawa Herald: When Captain Hob- son was at the Chautauqua assembly he entered a barber shop where he was not known, He got into a chair and the barber commenced to discourse. “Of course it was a nervy thing to ‘do, and Hobson did {t well enough, but that little trick at Santiago bay turned out to be boy's play. And ther that Kissing business—say, if that wouldn't make a man sick. Any time I pay good money to see a man it'll have to be somebody ‘at ain't made such a ring- streaked and stripped fool of—" Just then @ man came in and asked, “Tg Hobson here?” “Not so you can notice it,” sald the barber. “Over at the Marsh house they told me he had come over here to get shaved,” persisted the man, Then @ great light broke into the mind of the Darber. His knees felt wabbly, and he looked a trifle pale, but screwing up his courage he grasped the halr of the man in the chair and turning his head looked into his perfectly demure countenance, “Aare you Hobson?” he asked. “Yes” came the reply in that deep, furl voice that belongs to the hero of the Merrimac, ‘I’m Hobson.” ‘The shave was finished in a silence ‘go intense that the waving of the mid- day beat was a strange, whistling roar antekaa. ‘Thirty-five secretaries are constantly engaged in coping with the enormous Volume of letters which daily pour In- to the vatican.

Undesirable consulships have long given rise to humorous incidents. But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in unattractiveness, if the length of consular terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senators notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituents who were willing to take chances, but the senators were not prepared to promise that these turesome individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was held for nearly a year to be bolted at, at one time private secretary to Senator Beveridge and now consul at Valbarola. Mana field came back, according to Indians descriptions, "as thin as a toothpice and as yellow as June butter." He said he had stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him, and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Mansfield, there was an Indianian named Billhelmer, described as a husky Hoosler, with a large nose and frame plecked in maleria. He was cured of diplomatic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billhelmer, Judge Riley of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES. Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and during his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he was. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia." Utterly amazed, the woman asked: "In heaven's name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency,' or 'Your Royal Highness,' was the answer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes than he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato. Girard Was Considerate. Girard was considerate. One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whitling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard went aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cutting the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver halled the vessel. "There must be some mistake! shouted the captain, "Our bill of lading doesn't mention shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver. "Mr. Girard, himself, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whittle!" COLUMBIA BANK SCHOOL Gillette a Real Sherlock Holmes. William Gillette, whose impersonation of Sherlock Holmes has become so famous, has acquired much of the running of the character he portrays, and on being interviewed by the newspaper reporters extracts from them all they know without himself imparting any information. On his return from Europe the other day all the Boston scribes sought to learn of his future plans, but were obliged to abandon the effort. LUSTORONE No. 1.—To be used at bed-time every night.

A young woman of Magyar-Czernya in Hungary was called upon the long-distance telephone by her sweetheart in the town of Taba. He said: "Would you like to hear how I shoot myself?" Then she heard the sound of a shot. It was found afterward that the man had really killed himself. House Built of Butteps A house built of buttons is the latest thing in architecture, and a certain French musical celebrity is building it. The walls, the ceilings, the doors, exterior and the interior are all ornamented with buttons of every description. Every country has been rainsacked and some very curious specimens are reported to have been brought to light. Bible for the Coronation. The king has already ordered the coronation Bible from the British and Foreign Bible Society, to be used in Westminster Abbey in June. It will be a large quarto volume, bound in red morocco, with gold clasps and stamped with the royal arms. It will become the property of the bishop who administers the oaths. London's Catholic Cathedral The Roman Catholic cathedral in London, now in course of erection, is 360 feet long and 156 feet wide. Apart from the site, it has already co- $750.000. The material used is red brick, with Portland stone courses, and its Oriental decorative features, it is said, suggest a mosque rather than a cathedral. Small Navy of Uraguay. Three gunboats of twelve-knot speed constitute the invincible navy of Uruguay, a force which would have a hard time with the mobilized fleet of Slam, which has two 800-ton corvettes, six gunboats, a 2,500-ton deck-protected cruiser armed with fourteen guns, and a 650-ton cruiser. 400,000 Jews in Africa A writer in the Jewish World gives the total number of Jews in Africa at 400,000, of whom 20,000 have located in South Africa, where, says the writer, the most solid and tangible results have been attained by Jewish pioneers in all branches of development. Ex-Soldiers for Clerks. Ex-soldiers will in future be employed as clerks in all departments of the British war office. Preference will be given to such as possess first-class certificates of education, or have been invalided from active service by wounds or sickness. Steady Vote of Nevada The vote of Nevada fluctuates very little. In 1892 it was 10,878; in 1894 10,508; in 1896 10,305; in 1898 10,011 and in 1900 10,196. No other state in the Union has such a record of an undeviating vote as has Nevada. Lucky to Be in jail. The believers in the thirteen idoics are now citing cases of the man with thirteen wives who was sent to jail the other day, as if a man with thirteen wives were not in good luck to get safely inside a fail. Convicts Ask Clemency The white convicts employed on the breakwater at Capetown are sending a loyal address to King Edward, praying his clemency on the occasion of the approaching coronation. Paper Mills in America. There are now more than 1,100 pulp and paper mills in the United States. They use about 1,000,000,000 feet of jumber a year. The sawmills consume twenty times as much. Birthday of a Nation The new Australian federal government is appointing a Commonwealth Day on the lines of the American Independence Day. It is now engaged in weighing the claims of July 1, when Queen Victoria assented to the constitution; September 30, the date of the proclamation; January 1, the inauguration of the Commonwealth, and May 9, the date of the Duke of Cornwall's opening of the first federal parliament. The January date is the one most favored. Holland and Its Colonies The hold that Holland has on its East Indian colonies is rather precarious. The Archon war, stretched over well-nigh thirty years, is having a period of recrudescence that will sadly try Dutch resources. The Jambi war has also kept the Hollanders busy. Strange to say, in both districts the Dutch troops are doing what the Dutch condemn in South Africa—burning farms. They are even destroying whole villages. Henrik Ibsen's Early Life. Henrik Theen fifty years ago was serving behind the counter of a country drug store. The dispensing of medicines, however, did not suit tastes of the celebrated Norwegian, and during his apprenticeship he was hard at work reading for the profession of a doctor. In order to out a very small salary he took long, with what result the whole world knows. Fortunate Child. In the town of Manzanares, in Spain, the birth of the first year of this century was curiously honored by the municipality. Having recognized the claims of the expiring year by paying the funeral expenses of the last inhabitant of the town to die in it, the local authority undertook to bear the cost of the education of the first child born in the new year. Lakes In Arid Australia Subterranean lakes have recently been discovered in the Euclia district, Australia. They lie about thirty feet below the surface and contain an abundance of water. This discovery is of the greatest practical importance to this especially arid district. It is of scientific value also, as it affords an explanation of the disappearance of certain rivers. Robbery by Wholesale. A remarkable robbery has been committed at Bird's Island, near Toulon. There was on the island a bed containing 100,000 two-year-old oysters. They were safe at a recent date, but on the proprietor visiting the place again seven days later the whole stock had been cleared without any clue to the robbers being discoverable. Flying Not a New Idea. Flying is not a twentieth century idea. As far back as 1273 Friar Bacon predicted that flying would "shortly" become a general practice and Bishop Wilkins in 1652 said: "It will yet be as usual to hear a man call for his wings when he is going on a journey as it is now to hear him call for his boots." Honor for Italian Literary Man. Prof. Rodolfo Lanciana has just received the greatest prize a literary man can hope for in Italy. The Academia Reale della Science of Turin has awarded him the triennial prize of 12,000 lire, called the Premo Bressa, from the name of its founder, for his recent scientific work.

Asphalt Pavements About twenty-five years ago government engineers decided to pave Pennsylvania avenue in Washington with asphalt. That was the beginning of the general use of the scientific mystery for street pavements. To-day over 234,000,000 square feet of street pavements in the United States and Canada are covered with asphalt. This asphalt pavement would make a boulevard twenty-six feet wide over 1,760 miles long and would reach from New York to New Orleans, and then have several miles for side streets.
