Died for His Overcoat.

Among the 900 victims of the Ring
Theater, Vienna, was Henry Samek, the
chief of the claaue, who, after display
ing extraordinary gallantry in rescuing
several persons from the galleries of tho
burning house, lost his life in vain
effort to save-his overcoati His thor
ough knowledge Of the ms and outs Of
the theater enabled him to enter itagain
and again, each time with impunity and
success, in his heroic purpose, while the
confagration was raging. He had just
conveyed an insensible woman from one
of the lobbies into the balcony overlook
ing the ess-Gasse, when he suddenly
remembered that he had left his over.
coat hanging from peg close to the
exit from the third gallery, in which
part of the house he had been seated
when the fire broke out, and forthwith
resolved to recover it. One of his SUBJ
ordinates entreated him to forego SO
perilous an enterprise, and even endeav-
ored to keep him back by main force.
But Samek, an extremely powerful man,
shook him of, exclaiming: Nothing
can happen to me, for I know the house
as well as know my own pocket" and
vanished into the smoke, never more to
emerge thence alive. Thus persisted the
head purveyor of applause to the ILL
fated Ring Theater on the scene Of his
nightly labors. He died for coat, it is
true; but not until he had proved him
self hero in better cause than that
for which he threw away his life.

Colored Population Of the Country.

In 1860 the colored population of the
United States, not including the Indian
Territory, which was omitted from the
census tables, was 4, Al, $50. In 1870
the total was given by the census re-
ports at 4, 1856, 387, or, emitting the In
dian Territory, 1880, 009. This showed
an increase Of 438, 279, or only 9.S per
cent. Serious doubts have been ex-
pressed as to the completeness and ac-
curacy of the census of 1870, and it is
altogether likely that the negro popula-
ton of that period is somewhat under
stated in the reports.
According to the revised tables for
1880, the colored population, not in
GLIDING the Indian Territory, was then
$3.50. 1913, an increase over 1870 of
1,7OO, 784, or IS per cent. The total
population Of the country for the same
period showed IN increase Of something
over 20 per cent. The colored popula-
tion for the various decades from 1900,
with tho actual increase, and the per
centage Of increase during the decade,

A Productive Battle Ground.

Hundreds and thousands of old sol.
diers, both Confederate and Federal,
will remember Missionary ridge, near
Chattanooga. It is the site of one Of
most decisive battles of the war-ragged,
rocky, steep, poor in soil as any part Of
the table land, and was, until recently,
regarded as worthless. For what pur-
pose men held it was not known by
themselves, or anybody else. Three or
four years ago its lands would not bring
over So or 81 an acre. Now the ridge is
covered with orchards, and the profits
are SUCH that no land can be bought for
less than $40 or $50 an acre. It is thus

tions and new infusions Of brains and

Ten Persons at Table.

Flammarion, in his latest work, "Les
Etoiles" CThe Stars), goes into a very
singular calculation, which no one would
believe unless it were susceptible Of
mathematical proof, as it is: Ten per-
sons seated at the same table can change
places SO as to produce 3,628, 800 differ
emit combinations If. through modesty
or vanity, any Of the guests happened to
disagree on the point of precedence, and
if it were decided to continue the dinner
day by day until all the combinations
had been exhausted, these ten persons
would have to dine together day after
day for 1888 years. Surprising the din
ners to have begun as soon as Adam and
Eve had eight descendants, the series Of
dinners would still have more than 8, 600
years to run, since tradition places the
first parents of the human race only
5000 years back.
