smashed the glass and leaped through tho
window. The train ran nearly mile be-
fore it could be stopped. When it backed
up Magnus was found lying on the side of
the track unconscious and badly cut and
bruised, with three ribs broken. He was
taken aboard the car and came to his
senses, and then made depcrate

Trouble with Bartholdi,s Statue.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-The present system
of lighting the Statue of Liberty on Bed
loe's Island is so unsatisfactory that the
authorities will probably have it changed.
1t was originally intended to have ten 5000
candle power lamps suspended above the
statue so that the blaze Of light around
the torch could be seen for thirty
miles out at sea. Lieutenant Melis altered
the plans and placed the lights inside the
torch, where they now shine out through
glass lenses like a dim glowworm, and have
no more effect than an ordinary shore light.
There is also trouble about the manage
ment of the statue, arising from a conflict
of authority. Many of the contracts for
lighting the statue have expired, and there
is no real certainty that the statue will be
illuminated from night to night.

A Dynamite Gun Cruiser to Be Built.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Sit is now posi-
lively known that William Cramp Il Sons
have made arrangements to construct
dynamite gun cruiser for the Government
which will be capable of running twenty
knots an hour and of firing 200-pound
dynamite shell every two minutes. The
vessel is to cost not more than $350,0O0.
The dynamite projectile to be used is
thrown from long steel tube by
means of the sudden release of COM
pressed air at 1000 pounds pres
sure per square inch. The valve at the
breech of gun being opened and compressed
air being admitted, there is no shock, but
an immense velocity is attained before the
shell leaves the muzzle, and at range Of
two miles the accuracy of the gun is said to
be remarkable. The cartridge consists of
thin copper can of the diameter of the
bore of the gun, containing 200 pounds of
dynamite, and attached to it a long wooden
shaft, which steadles the flight Of the shell
as the stick does that of rocket.

BENJAMIN TITUS, of Trenton, N. j..
has mania for collecting curiosites
Among his latest acquisitions is speci-
men of what is known as the maidstone.
On wetting the finger and applying it
to the stone the latter will adhere to
the skin and can only be pulled off with
considerable exertion. If there be a
cut on the finger Mr.. Titus says this
application will cause pains to shoot
up the arm as far as the shoulder. Ac-
cording to popular belief mad stones
are supposed to cure rattlesnake and
dog-bitten mortals.

THE New York Mail and Express saws
that more than $40, 100, 900 is invested
in the United States in asylams for the
insane. To care for the 100000 I'M
fortunates confined in these institutions
requires an annual expenditure of ST.
100000. This does not include the
feeble-minded that are kept in iails,
alms-houses and on poor-farms, nor
those cared for by friends at their
homes. Notwithstanding this show
ing, the demand for more asylums is
widespread, and the increase of insan-
ity is alarming.

The Oklahoma Lands.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. o. = Adyices from
the Creek Indian Nation are to the effect
that the council there has instructed its
legation to the next Congress to insist on
the Government receiving back the money
fifteen cents per acre-it paid for the Okla
homa country to settle friendly Indians on.
They say Congress passed an act years ago
prohibiting any more Indians being settled
there which virtually nullified the sale, and
the Creeks claim it has reverted back to
them with jurisdiction and possession over
the same. They are anxious to get it in
some shape whereby they can raise rev.
enue from it by leasing for grazing pur'
poses.
