Destroying the Romaaee of History.

Il there is any nice little legend that
has been public property for years there
is always some one who wants TO POKE
10 dusty tones and investigate the mat
ter and dispel the pleasant illusion. 1t
is a. pity there are such people, but there
is no law by which they can be bsnished,
~ the consequence is that every now
and then we see some picture que belief
knocked to pieces Thus it is that we
have lost Willism Tell with his crossbow
and his apple, and many other pet stories
that the reader will cal to mind. In
fact we very nearly ,ost Mr.. Shakespeare,
and were offered a Mr.. Bscon instead
but this WAS little more than the peo-
pie could stand, 10 the work OF destruc-
ton WAS stopped in time. Everyone has
seen that noted face OF Beatrice, said to
be by Guido. 1t has been painted, and
engraved, and chromoed until IL ia a.
common as our Grandiather's Clock"
Nearly all are familiar with the sad story
OF Beatrice. Senior A. Bertolstti thought
il his duty TO investigate this matter,
and the result OF his rummagiDg among
old documents is given in the last issue
VI h'NitWs l1t Nifttffis luNt
Beatrice Cenci died In 1899, aud thai
Guido never painted in Rome till 1908,
and therefore he probably never ssw the
girl. He also discovers that Beatrice
was not beautiful person, as represented
in the picture, but exceedingly plain.
Again this liresome individual unesrtEed
the proceedings OF the court that con
demned Raatrlce and finds that she con.
tessed having been accessory TO the mur-
der of her father, and was therefore justly
executed. Bertolatti follows up the
history of this unfortunate womsn and
shows that she was an exceedingly de-
PRAYED character. The celebrated por.
trait he believes TO be by Guido, but II
is not the head of Beatrice, As was sup.
posed and il all that BeItolstti says
about her Is true, it will be a consols'
tion TO all who own the portrait to know
that it is by Guido and is not picture
of Beatrice Cenci

Skating on Artificial Ice.

A skating rink, offsring 10 00o square
feet of artificial ice in one sheet, Is in
successful operation in New York. The
protector, Mr.. R,nkin, Is widely known
in connection with the ice trade, partic-
ulsrly in the west and south, where his
machines for producing ice are largely
used. His pre- ent enterprise Is notable
chiefly for its magnitude, the area of ice
produced being very many times larger
than anything of the sort re yiouslv
attempted Something like in mi ts
of gssspipiug are required for the circu-
lation OF the refrigerstiDg liquid, which
is pumped through the pipes ter having
had its temperature sufficiently reduced
in q freezing chamber OF some two hun.
dred and fiitv feet long, In which ice is
liqui6ed by means OF salts and other
solids. The principle involved is simply
that Of the ice cream freezer. A tiFht
hour WAS laid over a surfscs of two hum
dred feet by eighty eet on this foor a
network OF pipes was laid, and the whole
flooded by two or three inches OF water
On pumping the refngersting fluid
through the pipes the water is frozen
aud kept 80 cold that the uriace OF the
ice remains dry though the atmosphere
of the rink /. warmed by half dozen
large furnaces. The pr jet might have
bsen carried cut equally well and much
more pro fitsbiy at mi isummer, when a
skating rink would have been more OF a
novelty. Mr.. Rankin informs us that
the temperature of the refrigerating
liquid ia raised but zen degrees while on
its nine. mile journey.

Snow I'm Cl les.

More than eight years sgo the city
authorities of London offered prize for
any invention which would enable them
to get rid of snow in the streets. Seven.
teen schemes were submitted. The sue
cessful apparatus was at once erected
and has been ia operation every year
since. 1t consists simply Of an inclined
plate of iron, fixed below a manhole
leading to the main sewer. Upon this
plate are ranged gas burners. The snow
osrted from tue adjoining thorough'ares
is shoveled down the manhole grating,
falls on the heated plate, is reduced 70
water and passes away down the sewer.
The consu mption Of gas is very moderate,
and the cost is said to be much less than
that incurred By carting away The snov

The following figures give some ides
ol the colossal dimensions of the load OF
railway property carried by Vanderbilt
The stock of the Michigan Central Is
fls. 738 204, aud the bonded indeb cd
ness is t2l, ,702 600. The total smount
$40 440 204, carries eight hundred miles
OF rosd. The Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railway has a length of one
thousand one hundred and eighty one
miles while the stock OF the company Is
$50, 0G0 eco, and its bonded indebtedness
$40 527 900. The two roads together
have round length of about two thou
sand miles, snd an aggregate stock and
bonded debt OF *l50, 900 600, equal to
T5 co per mile OF road To be able to
pay six per cent. interest on this Ie uires
daily spportionment of $4,000 of the
earnings Of the two companies, Thus it
will be seen that the two Chicago rail
ways owned OF controlled by Vanderbilt
are covered with a debt OF SIS 600 PER
mile. This requires $4,000 per mile per
sunum to pay the working expenses and
the interest on the bends.
