A Wonderful Organ.

IT is said that the organ which is now
being built in London for the Stewart
Memorial Cathedral at Garden City will
be the largest and most wonderful in
the world. 1t will cost about $4,000,
and will probably have nearly one hun
dred and twenty stops. The following
description gives some idea of this great
organ, or rather the method of perform
ing upon it AT one end of the cathe-
dral there is room in tower behind q
large painted window, which will be
connected with the keyboard in the
choir by electricity. The window will
be opened and closed by an electric apa-
ratus, which will produce the effect of
an ordinary swell organ. Above the
ceiling, in the centre of the building,
will be the echo organ, and beneath the
choir, in chapel, still another part,
each of which will be played from the
choir And finally, the great chime of
bells in the tower will be connected
with the choir, so that the organist can
use it in connection with the organ.
The bellows will be worked by five
hydraulic machines"

How They Caught Her.

John Nevins was a fireman on the
Evart and Osceola Railroad in Michi-
gan. A log was chained to the track
one night, and his locomotive wrecked,
killing him instantly. His widow sued
the company for 900 damages. While
the suit was pending good looking
young fellow made her acquaintance,
professed to fall in love with her, and
made marriage engagement. Having
confidence in him, Mrs. Nevins told
him that the log was placed on the track
at her request, she desiring to get rid of
her husband, while they were to have
all the money that could be gained by a
lawsuit The wooer induced her to
repeat the story in the hearing OF con-
cealed witnesses, and then had her
arrested. He was detective in the
company's employ.

Buried Oak Timber.

In deepening river in the neighbor-
hood of Norrkoping, says the Timber
Trades Journal" in order to make it
accessible for ships of heavier draught,
among several objects of interest brought
up from the bottom, eight oak trees were
found at depth of seven feet under the
old bottom. The bark was almost de-
cayed, and when it was taken off the
wood was found to be black, resembling
ebony. The trees are supposed to have
been lying in the earth 900 years. The
trees have been sold to firm of joiners,
who intend using them for cabinet
work.
