The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1888-07-14

edTs ago Wneu ffdnCiS Joseph,
now Emperor OF Austria. paid visit
to the Duke of Bavaria, then living In
a mountain chalet with his three
daughters, il was not for the sake of
the Princess Elizabeth, but for that Of
the elder sister, that he went
While on his way on foot 10 the
Dukes residence Francis Joseph
stopped on the brow of a hill, whence
there was fine view over a charming
lake and valley.
On the lake his eye caught sight Of a
girl dressed as peasant and seated in
"A boat, who, instead OF rowing, seemed
indulging in day dream over her
oars as she slowly drifted along.
The Prince descended to the waters
edge.
"Mademoiselle" he said, evil you
row me across the lakeY / believe the
Dukes chalet, to which / am going,
is on the other side"
"Willingly," answered the young
girl, and with stroke of her oars she
pulled her boat alongside the bank,
and Francis Joseph stepped in.
On the way over there was no con-
yersation between them, but the Prince
looked admiringly at the heavy masses
of blonde tresses which hung around
a neck and shoulders moulded like
those of an antique statue and at the
beautiful face and regular features OF
the handsome girl now rowing vigor-
.ously.
When they reached the other shore
q 81 hr III "a
way TO the Dukes abode,
Mooring her boat, she started up a
narrow pathway; he followed, watch
ing with pleasure the easy grace of her
steps and her swaying figure, as shape
ly and strong looking as that of a Di-
ana.
At the door of the chalet she made
him a courtesy and ran away before
he had time TO pay her for her services.
The Duke received him with all the
ceremony due his rank, and In pre-
.senting two of his daughters apollo
gized for the absence of the youngest,
who had gone for promenade.
After dinner, just as the Duke and
his guest entered the parlor, young
girl, dressed in white, with long fair
hair falling in ringlets over her shoul-
.ders, entered the room.
To his surprise the Prince recognized
his guide of the morning, and then
with a peal of merry laughter, she told
the story of their meeting to her father
and sisters.
When he retired that night Francis
Joseph had made the discovery that II
was not the eldest but the youngest
of the Bavarian princesses with whom
he was in love. The next morning hi
said as much to his ducal entertainer
and, as nothing had as yet been hintet
to any of the girls as to the motives o.
the Princes visit, the substitution wa!
easily arranged.
The Prince made his confession o.

A Monster Earuet.

One of our leading army engineers has
brought before the engineers classes of
late an experiment of startling nature.
Wonderful results are promised. 1t is
monster magnet made of two Rodnan
guns, which are connected at the breech.
Around them is wound about twenty
miles of submarine cable. The cable is
some that has been used in the torpedo
service. 1t is wound and fastened in a
substantial manner, making a powerful
electro magnet when electricity is APP
Piled that shows strange results. For
instance, a bar of railroad iron thirty feet
long, if placed in the open lannon's
mouth, cannot be drawn out by all the
many men that Can grasp it. Another
instance of the strength of this big mag
net was illustrated Saturday with $50
pound cannon ball. The shot was placed
in the mouth of one of the cannons, the
negative side of the magnet. On revers-
ing the electric current it fell from its
position, but was attracted to the oppo-
site cannon and chung to its side. The
positive current was then reversed alter
nately with the negative, and the heavy
cannon ball played between the two can
mons like a tack between the poles of a
toy Observation-Disclosures Conn Cor.

The Noguette Beetle.

Have you heard of the moquette beetle?
MOI Well, | was introduced to him the
other day in a local jewelry store on Elm
place. He is a Mexican animal and he
lives on decayed wood He is of the size
AMI shape of a peanut shell, has the same
color except for few minute black
specks on the yellowish white ground.
He has two black horns and six black
legs, like those of our cricket, and he
clngs very tight to anything he gets hold
of, for he wears spikes in his boots and
uses them with great freedom. For
long time nobody in Mexico knew pre-
cisely what the moquette beetle was
created for, but the year before last some
genius discovered that he was made to
walk upon the necks of society bellies.
The women of Paris took him in hand
at that time and had him harnessed with
very minute gold chains of about six
inches in length. A belle gives the beetle
one end of the chain and fastens the
other by tiny hook to that part of her
dress which is cut decollete. Then she
lets him roam at will. No Brooklyn
woman has as yet been found to copy
this latest French craze, but the fact that
it is French oyerawes all the ladies who
look at the beetle and contemplate it as
an ornament. They have not been able
to brace their courage up sufficiently to
permit of their wearing the moquette
yet, but they have looked him over in
the jewelry store and pronounced him
perfectly lovely. - Brooklyn Eagle

An Important Discovery.

A journal published in Rome gives an
account of a recent discovery which has
especial interest. In the course of ex-
cavations beneath the church of the
Apostles st. John and ST. Paul the work
men discovered two apartments of
Roman house of the Fourth century, one
of WI Oh, seven meters long by four
wide, was believed to be the tablinum.
1.-The most curious feature was that in
the tablinum, in addition to pagan paint
ings in the taste of the time, such as
animals, hippocampi, festal scenes and
categorical decorations, there We're other
paintings Of a Christian character. One
represented Moses taking off his sandals
to ascend the mountain and receive the
tablets of stone, a design similar to that
found at st. Calliste. The second is a
woman in the attitude of prayer, clothed
in long robe, veil on her head, a
collar of pearls around her neck. This
is the first time that there have been
found in a Roman house, in its ''noble''
part, paintings in the Christian santi-
ment paintings which up to the present
time have been met with only in the
catacombs. Public Opinion

AN EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATION.
Electricity as Motive Power ON the
Street RaiIways-A Trial Trip.

Electricity a Motive Power on the
Street Raiiways-A Trial Trip.
A street car moving smoothly and al
most noiselessly along Fourth and Madi-
son avenues without the ordinary motive
power of horses has attracted no little at
tention at different times within the last
three months. There was no cable at
tachment to give it motion, and whatever
power caused its propulsion was con-
tanned within itself 1t was the expert
mental application of the Julien electric
storage battery system with a view TO
substituting it entirely for the use of
horses
An officer of the railroad company said
today: Yes, we are and have been for
some time making experiments with an
electric motor on our street cars, and we
are bound 10 adopt it if we can find it
practicable and economical. The car that
has been seen along our lines lately is
fitted up with the Julien motor and stor-
age battery, and is only in experimental
use at present So far, we are very much
pleased with its working; there are many
things to be considered before the final
adoption of new system like that. We
must learn by actual use what the wear
ard tear ON the mechanism is likely to be,
as well as the strength and power of the
battery under all circumstances that it is
likely to meet
s'We must also be sure of the approx
innate cost of charging the battery. You
see the the battery has to be charged
from dynamo, which has to be run by
an engine. Up to this time we rave
charged it from our ordinary electric
light dynamo, and have used an engine
that is in constant service for many pur-
poses, so we have had no opportunity to
calculate the probable cost for charging
the battery. But we are establishing a
plant, consisting of an engine and
dynamo, which we shall use in connec-
ton with the Julien battery and motor
during the winter for the sole purpose of
arriving at some definite idea Of the cost
in case we should equip the road with
electric motor power. Then, too, we
must ascertain how everything viii work
in winter when the conditions are SO diff
ferent. Ii the experiment turns out sat
isfactorf1y during the winter there is lit
tie doubt but we shall use electricity on
our road. 1t is calculated by the owners
of tie motor that we will be able to effect
a saving OF at least 80 per cent. in our
operating expenses. New York Com
