Wealth and genius are never found to.

Another Ii.fernnI Machine DiscOy-
cred.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The internal machine
that q policeman took into the Hanson
street station yesterday morning was sub
sequently taken and carefully dropped into
the river from the Hanson street bridge.
The employees of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad Office say that a boy
left the machine there about o week ago,
and that since that il has passed from
room to room until night before last, when
a telegraph operator, who suspected its ma
ture, handed it to q policeman. 1t weighed
about three quarters OF a pound, was
cylindrical in form and was sealed at both
ends. A small wire protruded about half
an inch from one end OF the machine.
Captain Buckley did not like the machine's
appearance, and ordered it to be thrown
into the river. One of the electricians Of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road called at the station last night and
made inquiry regarding it. Upon learning
that it had been thrown into the river he
said he would fish IL out and take it to
pieces. He was given the exact location
where II was thrown, and he will try TO
find it to day.
Smallpox on u Railway Train.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Two new cases OF
smallpox were discovered yesterday in the
persons of mother and daughter. passen-
gers on an incoming Pittsburg and Fort
Wayne train. The unfortunates left
Queenstown, Ireland, on the steamer
Spain, and arriving in New York bought
transportation for Joliet, this state. The
mother. however, was sick before she left
New York, and yesterday morning the
train officers discovered that she was
afflicted with smallpox. She was then
delirious, and could neither give her
name nor tell whore she was exposed to the
disease. As her daughter, who was also
discovered to be i'll. was only eight years
old and too badly frightened to be coher-
ent. She was useless as q source OF lnfor-
nation, and nothing could be learned OF
their destination but what the tickets and
the msrks of their baggage indicated.
They were at once taken to a hospital. and
every precaution had to guard Others
from the contagion. but as many OF the
passengers On the same train were exposed
il is feared that more cases will result.

An important branch of japanese art
is ON the eve of disappearing. Up to
this date one ancient section of what
may be called the decoration of the
nude, remained unaffected. This was
tattooing. In all the revolutions of
the last thirty years the people have
kept faithful 70 the dermo .pictors. The
higher classes, the daimios and such
like dignitarles, might possibly ignore
| the skin adornments of their humber
countrymen as relic of the pre- Euro
pean era. Such an unpatriotic idea
however, never entered the minds OF
the nation at large, by whom well
tattooed person was regarded with the
same aesthetic pleasure that we'll
dressed individual is in western society.
At one time, indeed, the practice Of
tattooing was carried to as great per
| lection in Japan as in Polynesia. The
poorer folks moved about very lightly
clothed, and thus had every oppor-
tunity for exhibiting the wonderful
etchings with which their skins were
, decorated
On a well-tattooed Jap every inch
except the hands and facets occupied
with some pictorial representation
Men and women, light blue dragons
lions, tigers and host of other objects
might be commonly seen carefully
pricked in with Indian ink, until the
skin appears as if covered with som,
cloud" patterned fabric. A tattooet
man never looks unclothed He seems
constantly clad in the same harlequin
costume, and must surely feel that hi
goes to bed without undressing. Al
this is, however, doomed. A law has
just been passed that in future it viii
: be an indictable ohense for any one tC
tattoo any one else, or to be tattooet
himself. Thus, by one scratch of the
pen, a large and skillful class of mer
| is thrown out of employment, and as
the tattoo marks were in many cases
: family cognizances, the Japanese
/ hcralds are in doubt whether in few
years the members of any clan will be
able to claim kindred with each other
