In possession of parties who had

Morrow wss brought back. The horse

horses had been taken away from here
by Lum Sartain, Alex. Chapman and

Rich Men OF Ancient and Modern Times.

The ancient historians have great
deal to say about the wealth Of various
old Greeks and Romans; but none OF
them was so rich, in all probability,
saws a New York paper, as are many
living Americans. Cresus, King OF
Lydia, 500 years before the Christian
era, had 80 much gold, with other kinds
of property, that " rich as Crnsus has
been for ages threadbare simile. He
was the great plutocrat of antiquity,
and it is difficult to judge of the value
of his POSSESSIONS; but it is not at all
likely that it ever reached more than
SIC, ,O0O, 900 to S12, 600, 900 of our money.
There are, no doubt, forty New Y Yorkers,
at least, worth more than he, and some
six or seven have fourfold his wealth.
The richest Roman in Julius Caesars
time, and one of the triumvirate, was
Marcus L;cinius Crassus, an astute spec
ulator noted for avarice. His fortune
has often been estimated and never
above SO, ,OOO, 900 to $40, ,O00, 600 in United
States currency. An Athenian or
Roman who could count his estate at
what would be 1000, 900 of our dollars
was considered immensely wealthy, but
residents Of Manhattan who have no
more than 81 900, 900 are not now con-
sidered particularly well Oft, and are
unknown among the opulent members
of the community. Mere millionalres
are 50 common here as to merit little
distinction financially. There were no
such estates in ancient times as those OF
the Astors and Vanderbilts, and no such
private fortunes as are held not only
here, but in Boston, Philadelphia, Bal.
timore, Chicago, San Francisco and
other cities of the republic. The growth
of wealth has been prodigious in this
country within thls generation. Some
of the largest accumulations in the land
have been made within forty or fifty
years. Half century ago only one
man in the metropolis was worth
1000, 900, and his name was John
Jacob Astor. Now, hundreds OF our
fellow citizens can 60 beyond those hg-
ures, and they feel rather poor than
otherwise. When Stephen Girard died,
in 1881. he was considered by all ODDS
the richest man on this continent Eo-
body approached or began to approach
him monetarily-and yet his property
was not valued at more than SO ,oOO, 600.
Men who do not regard themselves as
very old can easily remember when
SlOO, 900 was thought to be fortune,
even in our largest cities, and when
$40, 900 in the small towns was deemed
an independence. At present SlO0,OOO
is hardly reckoned sufficient to make a
man comfortable, and $4,000 would not
be deserving of mention. unless IN D.
rural village of New England, where
general poverty lends magnifying
power to any eye that contemplates any
kind of coin. Within the next fifty
years it is likely that private fortunes
will be increased beyond what they
have been in the same period in the past
In 1880 and 1910 it is probable enough
we shall hear of plain American citizens
who are worth from 100000. 900 to
$3.50, 1000, 900, and who will be grumbling
that they have no more.

A Woman.Pinching Tenor.

The Russische Zeitung reminds its
readers of a comical incident that took
place toward the end of Gear Nicholas
reign, when Salvy, tenor singer, en-
dowed with uncommon personal at
fractions, having completed his engage
ment at the Moscow opera house was
about to take his departure for St.
Petersburg. A large number of his fe-
male admirers, for the most part pa
trieians of the first water, drove to the
railway station to see him off, laden
with wreaGhs and bouquets of costly
exotics, and surrounded him on the plat
form as he was about to get into the
train, imploring him in passionate ac-
cents to bestow upon them some trltie
by which they might recall him to their
memories when he should be far away.
Salvy was at first smitten with painful
perplexity by the prayers OF his fair wor-
shippers; but presently a ludicrous notion
presented itself to him and he proposed,
in jest rather than in earnest, that he
should administer to each lady a smart
farewell pinch to remember him BY
To his amazemenJ this absurd PROPOSE
tion was hailed with joyful acclama-
tion, and, as he proceeded to put it into
execution, the enthusiastic recipients
of bis souvenirs eagerly importuned
him to pinch hard $50 as to leave Il
nice blue mark that would last long
while, and, above all, where they could
see itr' EzA... g..

EdisOn's Electric Railroad.

"The Magician of Menlo Park" ac-
cording to the New York Herald, has at
least proved that he can utilize the elec-
trio current for railroad purposes. A Her.
aid reporter went to Menlo Park to wit
ness trial Of the new motor on the three
quarter mile railroad. AS precaution
against unforeseen accident the member
of the press selected Il seat as ncaras pos
sible to the inventor, because it would be
only natural that that was the safest one
in case the train should jump the track.
At a signal from Edison Mr.. Bachelor
moved the lever attached to the switch,
and off they went. The riding was very
enjoyable for the first five hundred yards
or SO, when suddenly most horrible
curve was reached, round which the
motor, with it's car attached, spun at a
rather uncomfortable gait. Then came
a series of serpentiue curves that were
enough to frighten anybody, but there
was no slowing up. On the contrary,
more power was put on, until 1t seemed
that the whole party were going to be
shaken from their seats The line was
located in the worst possible positions
by Edison, in order that tie beauties
Of his invention would he readily seen
by any one on the car. Some of the
curves are as sharp as those used on the
surface roads round street corners in New
YORK, so the reader can imagine how
pleasant it was to go around them at
the rate of about forty miles an hour.
The strangest part of the programme
was the easy manner of controlling the
motor, it being stopped within fifty feet
although going at Il high speed. 1t ran
up against the heavy grades as easily as
on the level track, and was rs powerful
at the end of the track rs in the station,
where the electric current first reaches
the rail. Alter the tirst trial the re.
porter was invited to ride on the moto
without having the car attached, so tta
the speed would be increased: Three
went on this trip-one atthe switch, an.
other at the brake, and the reporter held
on tor dear life. At the word 60 the ma
chine shot off like bullet, and it was
only by holding on firmly that ones seat
could he kept. AS the curves Were
struck the motor rocked fearfully; in
fact, it was as hard to keep your seat on
it as on an unbroken mustang when ne
sets bis mind on the bucking" process
of dismounting you. The time made
was fifty-three seconds from the station to
the end of the track on the first trial, and
forty-two on the second trial. The motor
has IN electric headlight, which is burn
ing continuously, and which has very
pretty effect in the night time.

Lip Language.

There was an interesting exhibition
lately in London OF the new way OF
teaching the deaf and dumb to speak
and to understand by the motion of the
lips.
London of sixty pupils, founded chiefly
through the benevolent exertions of the
Baroness Mayer de Rothschild. The
school assembled at Grosvenor house, the
abode OF the Duke of Westminster, now
the richest nobleman in England; and
numerous body of guests were invited
to witness the progress they had made;
The teacher, Mr.. Van Praagh, showed
the steps of the process by which mere
infants are taught both to understand
and use the lip language, and, at an
early age, to frame sentences and hold
easy conversation. A gentleman among
the audience asked one of the pupils to
name a member of the house of lords:
The answer Immediately came, Lord
Beacons6eld." Another was asked to
give the name of leading member OF
the house of commons. Mr.. Glad
stone," was the reply.
The sounds they make are monoton-
GUS, as they cannot emphasize or INFECT
their voices. But the main point is,
they can make themselves understood.
This blessed invention of enabling the
dumb to speak and the deaf to under
stand ought to have been made at an
earlier day. We read in one of Vol.
taire's letters of l76O: We have in Gen.
eva a woman lO2 years old, who has
three deaf and dumb children. They
converse with their mother Gan educated
LADY, from morning until evening. some
by moving their fingers. They play all
games very well, know all the gossip Of
The city, and tell funny stories about
their neighbors as well as the greatest
takers can. They understand every
thing that is said to them by the move
ment of the lips, and, in a word, they
are very good company.-.VoWh's Com.

Spasm0dic Action,

The muscles are endowed with con-
tractile power. They tend OF themselves
to draw their extremities toward their
center. The heart is double hollow
muscle, whose alternate contraction and
dilation constitute its cheating" Ihe
contraction throws out the blood into
the system, and the dilation opens the
heart for more. The working OF this
central engine is so essential that It's
mower to dilate and contract Is TO some
extent provided for within itself. so
much 80 is this the case that the heart
will beat for considerable time after it
has been removed from vigorous AMI
NAL.
Certain ganglia at the base OF the
brain supply the force necessary TO
motion-the motor nerve-force, as ltls
called, The supply is generated oy tne
nerve cells in the motor ceneers,. al.
rectly from arterial blood. Wlthho!d
the blood from the motor cells and all
motion at once ceases. Tue same eject
follows when the blood is sufficiently
vitiated through the failure OF the
lungs, liver or kidneys TO eliminate it's
constantly accumulating impurities.
The motor nerve-force acts by ex-
tending the muscles; or, when they
are in a state of apparent rest, by sim.
DIV counteracting the contractile ten.

.Decleyity in Rivers.

A very slight declivity suffices to give
the running motion to water. Three
inches per mile in smooth, straight
channel gives a velocity of about three
miles an hour. The Ganges. which
gathers the waters of the Himalaya
mountains, the loftiest in the world, is,
at 300 miles from its mouth, only about
800 feet above the level of the sea, and
to fall these 800 feet in the long course
the water requires more than month.
The great river Magdalena in South
America, running for 1000 miles be-
tween two ridges of the Andes, falls
only 500 feet in all that distance; above
the commencement Of the 1000 miles it
is stem descending in rapids and catar-
acts from the mountains. The gigantic
Rio d. la Plata has SO gentle a descent
to the ocean that, in Paraguay, 1900
miles from its mouth, large ships are
seen which have sailed against the cur
rent all the way by the force of the wind
alone-that ia to Say, which, on the
beautiful inclined plane Of the stream,
have been gradually lifted by the soft
wind I'D even against the current to an
elevation greater than that of our loft

The Nineteenth Century tells OF q
sleeve button bearing rose diamond
which exploded under the influence OF
sunshine. 1t appears that the person
who wore this button was one Gay
startled by hearing a distinct report,
due to the sudden rupture Of the stone.
The diamond was rent along cleavage
plane, and the fracture disclosed dark
particle of carbonaceous matter. 1t ls
believed that the explosion resulted
from the rapid expansion Of a volatile
LIQUID inclosed in a cavity. Many crys-
tails contain cavities which inclose vola-
tile liquids, such as condensed carbonlc
acid. Sir David Brewster found that
some diamonds contain so many micro
scopic cavities that they impart dark
color to the mineral.
It is probable that the liquids and
gases which are pent up under great
| tensions in such cavities would exer'
considerable pressure outward, and
indeed, the behavior of certain; dIa
monCS under polarized light seems tx
show that parts Of the stone are IN
state of great strain. It's easily con
ceivable, then, that the tension of th'
inclosed fluid might GO on increasing
until the diamond mo longer able to re
sist the strain, Weuld give way Will
