Tho Tail Tower Idea.

It has been remarked of the Eiffel
tower as a specimen OF engineering it
is simply a variation from the ordi-
nary method of iron bridge building.
The American engineers who visited
France, England and Scotland few
weeks ago, greatly admired the Eiffel,
but regarded the bridge in course of
construction across the Firth of Forth
as far more remarkable. They do not
consider it a remarkable thing to erect
an iron tower 300 meters in height 1t
reposes perpendicularly upon firm
foundations, and the weight Of the
material is easily sustained.
1t is far more phenomenal per-
Torrance to build out on the CAN'T
lever plan a structure extending, un-
supported by false work, for thou,
sand feet over an arm of the sea- That
was the wonder our engineers witness
ed in Scotland, and it was immensely
more impressive than the simple iron
edifice, notable chiefly for its perfec-
ton of details and colossal proper
tons, that is the leading attraction Of
the French exposition.
We have mentioned that there was
proposition before the committee of
managers of the Philadelphia centen-
NAL for the erection of an iron tower
1000 feet high, and that it was reject.
ed because the estimated cost, 81, 0OO,-
QUO, was held to be extravagant It
would be worth while to look through
the old papers Of the Fourth Of July
centennial, and see how closely the
work proposed and rejected for the
banks Of the Schuylkill has been fol-
lowed in that which has been erected
on the eine.-Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. -.

Needed in Journalism,

The destinations of the press are
great. To enter upon the career re-
quires no capital. According to the
Marquis Of Salisbury, who, during a
period Of estrangement from his fa-
ther, was partly dependent on his pen,
the sole requirement is brains" His
lordship's opinion that comparatively
little training is necessary will not be
readily accepted by those who are
practically acquainted with the work
ing of a newspaper in these days,
when it can no longer be said that the
best writing is done by young men Of
leisure in other professions. Brains
alone will not produce a good leading
article, Notwithstanding that this is
one of the three feats Of which every
man believes himself capable. An
amusing illustration Of the fallacy
was furnished in q provincial office
One Of the proprietors, carpet manu-
facturer, wrote a leader. II was sub
mitted to the editor, a gentleman dis
tinguished in his calling, and appear
ed next morning in a form hardly rec
ognizable by the writer. He had read
many leader, and thought that he
could write one. Sir" replied tie
editor, tapping the floor with his foot,
II have walked ON many a carpet,
yet l never thought could make
one" Leader writing is not the only
branch OF journalism that demands,
in addition to brains, combination
Of qualities rarely found in one man.

Five ElephAnts.

The revival Of the rage about the
shah Of Persia has led to a story on
the Hon. Fred Winston, Of Chicago,
who for short time represented the
United States at the Persian court.
When he arrived at Teheran he was
met outside of the city by the cham
berlain of the court, who in the name
Of the shah presented him with four
elephants. Winston, who had never
seen an elephant outside Of a menag-
erie, was paralyzed at his situation,
but managed to express his thanks for
the shah's great Kindness. After he
had been presented, and had assumed
the duties of his Office, his greatest Of
fetal burden was the care Of his ele-
plants. Relief came on the second
day, when the intimation was polite
ly conveyed that the shah expected a
present from him.
Certainly" said Winston, as a
smile wreathed his face. II have only
been waiting to secure one worthy of
% great ruler"
That afternoon he proceeded in state
TO the palace and presented the shah
with Ave elephants. The chamber
lain regarded the elephants with sus-
picion, but oriental politeness prevents
the inspection Of q gift horse in the
mouth, and, anyhow, the extra ele-
plant removed all doubt
THAT extra elephant cost me 600,

How Trout Remember.

''Some time before the death of Seth
Green, the celebrated fish culturist
and naturalist, said a Philadelphian
who takes great interest in piscicultu-
raj matters, II paid a visit with him
to the fish hatchery Of that state at
Caledonia. In one OF the ponds there
at that time were 5000 large brook
trout, every one Of which had been
captured with the ay-tied on barbless
hooks-in unfrequented brooks in the
Adirondack regions. These trout, Mr..
Green said, had convinced him that
fish have reasoning power and men,
DRY. When they were hooked, and
reeled in slowly by the careful fisher
men who We're capturing them for the
state pond, they had time and oppor-
tunity to note the form and character
of the tackle that made them prison
ers. According to Mr.. Green they
never forgot that experience.
1.-THE trout had been in the pond
long time, the females never being al.
lowed to spawn there, and would fol-
low Mr.. Green as he walked along the
edge of the water tossing bits OF liver
into it. To show that his theory about
their memory was correct, he would
carry cane and fish rod concealed
behind his back. II he took the cane
from its concealment and held it out
over the water, the fish paid no atten-
ton to it, but the moment he produced
the rod with its reel and line attached,
away the trout scampered like flash
to distant parts Of the pond. Mr..
Green told me that he would permit
any one to cast a fly in that pond to
their hearts content, as he was salts
fed that not one Of the trout would
come near it, so wildly did they re-
member their enemy Of five years
ago." -Philadelphia Press.

A Badly Mixed Correspondence.

Not long since a combination Of
frivolity on the part of dear friend
of mind in West End and similarity
of names of two men caused my
friend a decidedly unpleasant an0
painful experience. In a down town
hotel there chances to be a cashier
whom will call William Jones, and
q porter Of the same name. Some time
ago she met the cashier, and, girl like,
became much pleased with him. After
Q little she wrote him an invitation TO
call. He read and referred it to the
porter, who had friend of the same
name years before, and naturally sup
posed her to be the correspondent,
and to be employed as domestic at
the house referred to. He was an in
telligent young man, and answered
the letter quite calamity, under the
instruction OF his namesake. A num-
Der Of epistles passed, until the colored
man arrayed himself quite tastefully
one night and called, inquiring for the
lady. Miss -, who responded, in.
formed the darby that she was the one
asked for. He was 80 astonished that
he only replied that he came from
the hotel in point "Ah, you have a
note for me, no doubt, from Mr.. -"
she queried. mo, ma'am was the re.
ply. II am Mr.. -" But he IL
the cashier" abe replied. There is q
man BY that name who Is cashier, and
he gave me the letters, told me they
were mine, and directed me to answer
them" never saw Q case OF such in
tense modification. Finally turning
to the astounded porter, who was pro
fi,se in his apologies, she told him
that he was black, but that he was far
more Of q gentleman than W. hia
nameeake. Then she wrote Mr.. -
q short note, which conveyed moro
contempt than / ever thought could
be couched in 20 small an envelops. -
