l HIgh Business

As you stand at the foot Of tine ter
race below and look up at the immense
dome of the Capitol at Washington the
workmen there seem mldgets, c.Inglng
by toes and finger ups to tine convex sur
face. To the nervous spectator the slSnt
Is more exciting tuan interesting The
narrow landings surrounding the lower
and upper ends o; the dome appear as
threads of white marble on which hardlya
I could obtain a secure tOOtlOld, much
less a man. You shudder As you see =
Luna2 form uprear itself from the IN
terror Of the cupOia and with apparent
carelessness climb backward over the
narrow ledge 70 the ladder beneath.
That ladder seems fearfuily small and
unable to support The weight OF or give
foothold to several @en who are upon
it. They lean forward at times until
only their feet and one hand are on the
ladder as they run their brushes over
that part oil the dome within reach.
They seem suspended In mld-alr, and
YOU tremble lest the next blast Of the
autumn wind, which, yeu know, blows
fearfully hard up az that dizzy elevation,
should loosen their frail hold and dash
them, shapeless masses, against tine
cold. cruel stones of the pavement, two
hundred feet below. Suddenly. while
you gaze. one of them rapidly desccnds
| the ladder to the lower laudlng, which
Is in reality about eighteen inches wide,
but seems to you a mere line, and
! lightly, reckleSsly even, Jumps down
upon the projecting edge Of the column
immed ately below. You notice, how
ever. that he climbs back with much
more care, And YOU watch with L sort
OF fascinating interest till the eye grows
dim with Its constant gaze, and You
seek inside for further information.

The camera .s a Detective.

instantaneous photography Is apt TO
catch the amateurs affections, for 1t is
most interesting. The use of electricity
to lift the shield from the inside OF the
camera tube by the pressure OF but
ton enables the operator to take PIC
ture while the subject of 1t remains IN
ignorance. The use of gelatine plate,
which Is highly sensitive, makes 1t
possible to get photograph while tne
operator counts three. The amuse-
meat of photographing al opposite
neighbor or caller, or pretty woman
In tae park, or bathers at the seaside,
must be very great. Ii Is said that
New York dentist, living up town, has
a concealed camera by which, for the
amusement of his friends, he has taken
the pictures of number of fashionable
young ladies reclining under the intiu-
ence of laughing gas, but naturally he
keeps his trick very dark or 1t would
ruin his business. In Europe there Is
said t. be detective camera IN one OF
the great banking houses. A man OF
suspicious appearance makes his way
up to the cashiers counter and presents
letter of credit or draft. The bank
clerk is doubtful as to the look of the
man. His hneament, he thinks, Is
worth taking. The clerk, when the
mans face is in full front toward him,
touches the button. Presto, con-
C, aled camera is exposed and in an IN
slant the mans photograph is taken.
Further than this, this wonderful de
tectiye camera Is to play another role.
The head OF the house leaves his busi-
ness and confides it to his clerks Some
of the clerks go to sleep. or smoke
cigars, or skylark. or do other things
not exactly IN keeping with their call
ing. and off starts a series of plates
worked by cIockwork, and every action
OF the CLERKS during series of hours
Is recorded.

\ Barry Hurricane.

Some time IN October party Of three
hunters, named W. Chambers, j. 5. Mar
tin. post surgeon, and j. Brown, OF Paeoza
Springs, started out INTO the great dark
woods of the Blanco Mountains, in Colo
raao, in quest of deer, which are found IN
great abundance, as large game Is coming
down to lower attitudes in large herds In
less than two days the party succeeded IN
killing eight fine deer. They were max
ing ready to return when huge black
bear was seen sffronting the camp. Fire
was opened upon him with three rifles,
and In short time he was badly hurt.
Chambers made for HIM with the expects
ion of an easy victory. The bear rsisei
up on his hind feet and had the look OF
thunder asleep. Chambers got in shot
at short range, breaking the bears upper
law. That shot saved his life, for an IN
slant and ike a fash bruin bore down
upor him like an Inflated Hercules, his
savage tusks cleaning out Of his jaws OF
/ darkness.
Chambers realized the desperate situa-
ton and fought with the fury of fiend ;
il was but the question of few seconds
|
death. IL was terrible struggle for the
mastery. For time the bear had the adj,
vantage and with savage thrusts he tossed
Chambers hither and thither with the fury
OF a hairy hurricane, got MIN between hi'
legs and kicked rim from hindfoot to fore
foot and back again The principle thing
the man did while there was TO listen low
and strong and think loud. In anothe'
minute ne couldn't have got job as
scarecrow. There wouldn't have beer
enough for the birds to light on Bui
Brown came to the rescue, placed his rliit
close to the brute and banged away. Both
went into the fight to win and the beal
lest. When they dug Chambers out h'
had all he wanted; he was covered with
blood, his clothes ripped OF and himseI
badly torn and bruised. The bear weighe'

All friends of educational progress will
wish the managers of Girard College sue
cess in the new and important departure
upon which they have determined.
Having found it very difficult, if not i'm
practicable, to carry out Girard's direc-
tions in regard to the apprenticeship Of
boys educated at the institution, they
have decided to try the plan of making
technical training a part of the regular
course. A department will be added to
the College in which the boys will be
taught to use their hands and eyes, and
will be instructed with as much thor
oughness as may be found possible in the
handling of tools and in the practical
business of mechanical industry. This
is undoubtedly a step in the right direc-
ton, and the example is one which de-
serves to be followed. 1t is imperative
that boys just entering upon the active
duties Of life should have more oppor-
t~unities for learning useful trades than
are now within their reach.

THE SHEPHERD INVESTIGATION

Before the Congressional Committee
investigating the Peruvian business Mr..
Shipherd was asked who were present at
an interview he held with Mr.. Blaine,
the Secretary of State. The committee
said they were appointed to investigate
not Senators, but the Peruvian Company,
and refused to hear who were present at
the interview. They go on the principal
that If a member OF Congress YVES con-
nected with the Peruvian Company. the
company, as far as he was concerned, be-
came merged in him and not he in the
company. That is to say, the committee
would rather let a dozen facts about the
company go unknown than find out one
discriminating fact about a member of
either House. Mr.. Kasson and his asso-
ciates fight hard not to learn anything,
but it looks as though they were trying
to carry too heavy a load. The truth
must come out.

II looks as though another unearth-
ment. in which Garfield's name makes
the chief interest, is about to take place.
Funerals are not always scenes OF sad
ness and mourning. II reports be true,
Gar6eld's funeral was made the occasion
of ~reveling-an out and out wake,
though not so called. The people are
now asked to pay the fiddler. Otherwise 1T
might be better to let the grave cover up
all the nastiness that is associated with
Il in this instance. II there be any hope,
however, that the vultures who gave way
to such gross sensuality on the lugubrious
occasion, when the country at large was
in actual mourning, the investigation
cannot be made too searching and COM
plete. 1t seems probable that the at
tempt to suppress the items OF expense
incurred for the Garfield funeral on the
mart of the House of Representatives
will not succeed. Two reports, one IN
lump, another in items, are likely to be
the consequence. Claims have been
audited amounting to over $1,000, while
hills 70 more than an equal amount are
u,ad;usted. One item of expense is
81 zoo Tor liquors, wines and lunches at
Wormley's, $500 being for "whisky cock
tails" alone. Twelve hundred gloves is
another item, and authenticated reports
are in circulation that the excursion was
more like an unlicensed pleasure party
than a funeral journey OF respect to the
late President.
Items for carriage hire are numerous,
at extraordinary rates, and it is indis-
putable that members Of Congress, par
ticinatinp as mourners IN the train,
where whisky and champagne flowed
freely. afterwards handed in itemized
bills of expenses otherwise incurred. 1t
was a most extraordinary funeral cortege.
1t took the Sergeant at-Arms two months
to gather the Items, and such items
probably never were before heard of.
1t is understood that certain members
of the committee agree in the view that
they ought not to be parties to such a
scandal by covering it up, and that the
only way is to let the whole truth come
out. After what has come out, nothing
will be gained by keeping back any part
Of the outrageous performance.

Mr.. Fawcette, the Postmaster General OF

the other day that the female t~elegraphists

given general satisfaction. So much was
that the case that the employment Of
women had been gradually and steadily
extended. Any claims they had to promo
ton would be cheerfully considered. and
he could readily give an assurance that he
would lose no opportunity Of extending the
employment of women whenever it could
be done with advantage to the public
service.

COTTON SEED Oil.

According TO reliable authorities,
there are fifty-six cottonseed mills,
most of them situated in the south we s.

These mills use yearly about 4Io,OOOI
tons Of seed, which, after being clean.
sed from lint and husks, and chopped
very fine, are packed in WOODEN bags
placed between horsehair mats and
submitted 10 hydraulic pressure. The
expressed oil is either barreled at once
or treated with 'caustic soda, yielding
about sc per cent. of purified or fine
oil. The total yield is about $4,000.
900 gallons annually, of which, it is
