Not Coon.

A negro. with an ak in his hands,
stood beside the highway skirting q
Mississippi swamp, and as we came up
he said:
Gem len, he ruu'd right up dat
ar, gum-tree."
What did?"
"A coon, sab. If you has got pistols
mebbe you kin fotch him down for me.

We dismounted and took survey.
An animal of some sort could be dimly
made out hugging limb high up.
We popped away, but without doing
any damage, and, as it moved along
the limb, the Colonel observed:

"Hu! but if dat amt coon. you

man.
We rode away, leaving him to chop the
tree down. It was about three hours
before we returned, and then we.found
him seated on the fallen trunk. Be
ginning at the top of his head and ex-
tending to his ankle-bones were bloody
scratches. His garments were rent
and tattered, his hands were covered
with blood. and he was trying to bind
some leaves on bad wound on his left
arm.

Kept isoquets Under water.

The following, taken from Wick 5
Magazine for July. is description of
the process by which bouquet of flow
ers may be preserved fresh for long
time:
A vessel of water is required the
vessel should be large enough TO allow
the submersiOn in it of plate or dish
holding the bouquet to be preserved,
and bell glass to cover the bouquet.
The dish or plate should contain no
moss or other material; the water
should be limpid and quite pure.
Place the plate at the bottom of the
water. and on the plate, submerging it.
place the bouquet. which is maintained
in an upright position by a weighted
base previouly attached TO it. This
being do he, the bouquet is covered
with a glass bell, the rim of which
ought to fit exactly TO the flat part of
the plate the bell glass should be en-
tirely filled with water, and without
the least air bubble.
Then all are raised together, plate,
bouquet, and bell glass, filed with
water, and placed on table, carefully
wiping the exterior, but leaving on the
plate around the base of the bell glass,
a little provision of water, which pre-
vents the entrance of air. The flowers
in this condition will be preserved in
all their fragrance for several weeks.
and their beauty is increased by great
number of bubbles of gas produced by
the respiration of the leaves, and
which attach themselves to the petals.
appearing like pearls. The edge of
the plate and the water that it contains
should be concealed by light bed of
moss, in which are set some other
flowers. In the evening, by artificial
light, bouquet thus arranged pro-
duces a charming effect.

The National Capitol.

The southern corner stone of the
capitol of the United States of America
was laid September Is, 1898, and the
north wing finished in 1900. Congress
Immediately occupied it. by 1914 the
capitol had expanded into an imposing
editice. Then the British troops fired
both the north and south wings of the
structure, but the walls were saved,
thanks To 4 heavy rain. For years.
after. Congress met elsewhere than III
the capitol, which meanwhile was be-
ing prepared for renewed occupancy.
By 1867 the capitol, had been
/ enlarged externally. and made to APP
pear precisely as it does today. Thir-
teen million dollars had been expended
I on it. Its magniiicence places il
among the greatest structures of either
ancient or modern times. II covers
more than three and half acres, and
/ is surrounded by grounds having an
area of forty-siX acres. Standing or
/ the brow of hill, it can be seen fol
many miles. and the view from Its
dome is ineffably grand.
The main building is 352 feet ano
/ five inches long. and l26 feet and Sly
inches deep. A pOrticO on the eastern
facade measures 100 feet wide, and tI'
projection on the western side meas
ures eighty-three feet, forming a Por
/ ton of ten columns.
Congress sits in the wings, the Sen
ate in the in the north wing, and tbs
House of Representatives in the soutl
wing. Each of these wings has por
tico of twenty-five columns on its east
ern facade. and one of ten columns a
\ its end and western facade.

No More Dead-Centres.

Charles Cole of this CITY is the inven-
tor of a new engine which. lac claims,
does away with the Objectionable crank
and its accompanying dead centres.
Hitherto no mode has been devised OF
communicating power TO the driving
wheels of locomotives and other heavy
engines except by cranks. neeessitating
double steam cylinders and link motion
for reversing. Cole claims to do away
with one of the cylinders and all the
link motions, reducing the first cost of
the engine one-third and the cost of
running one-halE The pilot trucks un-
der the front of the locomotive are also
done away with, the boiler and tender
combined being suspended on four
large drivers. The single steam cv-
Under is situated under the double boil
er midway between the wheels. and the
piston runs entirely through the cy-
Under so as to communicate with each
set of wheels. On the axle of each set
is a large cast-iron friction wheel with
V-shaped groove in its rim. In this
groove above and below run steel bars
connected with the piston rod. The
trlct on of the upper bar on the friction
wheel starts the locomotive, and when
the motion of the piston is reversed the
lower bar Immediately begins to work
on the lower surface Of the same wheel.
An ingenious slotted disk and thrust
block operates TO reverse the motion of
the locomotive at viii.
The boiler. instead of being single as
at present in railroad locomotives. is
made double, with double firo-boxes and
trap-hOppers, which, it is claimed,
largely reduce the cost of running by
saving coal. The invention looks very
simple and. it is said. has already been
tried on a stationary engine and side
wheel steamer with success Besides
railroad and stationary engines. the
invention is specially designed for use
on dummy engines and street cars
