1t is an iudisputable fact that the hand
soonest vestibule trains that are now run
on the American continent are those on
the Burlington route, leaving from Union
depot in Denver, also st. Paul Immediate
ly on arrival of all through trains from he

are magnificent, the reclining chair cars
suburb the Pullman sleeperS extremely
luXuriant, and as for the meals that are
served in those pG,ace Burlington dining

If you mention to the ticket agent that you
want your ticket to read from Denver or
st. Paul over the Burlington route, you
will get it, and you will always be glad of
il.
Ifyou go via the Northern or Canadian
Pacific, the elegant vestibule trains of
The Burlington Route, between 81. Paul
and Chicago, or st. Louis, will carry you
along the eastern shore of the Mississippi
river for n distance of $50 miles, amidst
scenery that cannot be surpassed or, If you
go via the Oregon Short Line or Southern

Curious Clocks.

ssMechanical clocks, said local horo-
logist to New York Star reporter, ''are
greatly in demand all the year round.
They are mostly imported, and range IN
price up to $75 each oh, as to styles, there
are many, representing nearly everything
in art or nature Some jewellers keep a
large assortment of these Theological curl
osities. A good deal OF advertising is
done by means of mechanical clocks
They look like toys, but they are excellent
timekeepers, and placed in store windows
attract considerable attention. | have
seen crowds standing in front of these
curious clocks, watching the movements.
1t NAV be a gilded -laiden swinging to
and fro, or listening to the sweet music
of a chime of bells ringing as the pendu-
lum oscillates. Yes, the mechanical de
vices are very popular as advertising
schemes. In some of the clocks the me
chanism has its own separate spring,
while in Others the same power runs both
that and the timekeeping movement.
"sWho are the best customers for me-
chanical clocks""
THAT depends on the style of the
clock. You see that artistic little boiler
all in nice working order? Well, con
tractor or builder will come along and
snap it up for his office, sure. So with
the Others. Some aesthetic woodworker
will buy that bandsaw clock, a machlnst
will fall in love with that triphammer
movement. While the pretty little WIND
mill will, perhaps, gladden. the heart OF
some Western miller on the lookout for
novelties in his line"
Some of the prettiest specimens OF me-
chanical clocks are to be met with In
New York. Many stores attract goodly
custom by exhibiting these curiositles.

A Smart Bird.

There is lady in the eastern part of
the city who has 2 remarkably bright

and can sing as divinely as though he
had caught the tones from heavenly
spheres.

be a discord-but perseveringly he went
back to the beginning and that time he
succeeded satisfactorily. For weeks this

ance of the sleepers in the house, but
finally when the tune was learned it
stopped. This bird tries many airs, and
sings some OF them real well; for in

Electricity in Ceast Defense.

Electricity plays perhaps the most
wonderful part in all these huge works.
Not far from the main fort, there would
be built little round building. This
would be the place for the "tower of OBJ
servation" of the commanding officer.
From here he could see all over the
harbor and away out to sea. The tower
would be strong, and inside would be
the wonderful key-boards of the electric
system. BY means of these, the COM
mander could telephone to the Captain
of any battery to load his guns, and aim
at such and such an angle and direction.
The Captain of the battery would do so
and telephone back the moment he was
ready. The commander could tell the
Captain to fire, or he could if he choose,
press little key and himself fire each
gun singly or all the guns at once. He
could do the same with all the batteries
and forts, and he could, from his little
tower miles away, by light touch of his
finger explode every gun in the harbor,
and send tons and tons of metal flying
with crushing force at any vessel he
could explode any, or all, of the mines
and torpedoes at once, or he could have
one grand simultaneous explosion of all
the guns, torpedoes and mines. AT each
fort ard battery would be stationed
officers who by means of instruments
would find exactly the course of the
enemy's ships. This would be tele-
graphed to the commander, who would
thus know at every instant just where
any vessel is, and how fast she is sailing.
So he could predict that a ship will pass
a certain spot at a certain time, and, if
she did not change her course, could
press the key and blow up the vessel,
or send at her huge bolt of iron or
steel. If the enemy had landed force
on the mainland down the coast, and it
was marching on the fort to take it in the
rear, the commander could wait till he
saw the force on a road approaching a
fort, when, pressing another key, several
iron doors of the fort would open and
automatic machine guns pop out, and
commence firing at the rate of six hun
dred shots per minute apiece, and keep
it up till the key was pressed again, when
they would withdraw and the shields
close. 1t can be seen that the com
mander should know absolutely all that
is going on, as otherwise he might fire
into his own forts, or his own patrol
boats.-St. Nicholas.

Pigeons as searers of III riainss.

Carrier pigeons will be kept on board
the Ostend mail boats for the future, so
that news of an accident may be sent to

repetition of the troubles experienced by
the Princesse Henriette when her ma
chnery broke down during the voyage,
and she had no means OF summoning

1T SEEMS BUT YESTERDAY.


IL seems but yesterday that May
Tripped lightly past, nor paused to stay
A moment longer than 'twould take
To set her signet near and far,
In field and lane-the daisies star;
To set the grasses all ashake;
TO kiss the world into a blush
OF brier-roses, pink and flush,
For summers sake.
1t seems but yesterday that June
Came piping sweet medley tune,
Whereto the robin and the thrush
Lent each his thrilling throat, the while
The locust there beside the stile,
Deep-hid in tangled weed and brush,
Spun out the seasons skein of heat,
With now ''whirr'' of shuttle feet
And now hush.
1t seems but yesterday, and yet
To-day found my garden set
In silver, and the roisterer wind
Made bold to pluck me by the gown,
What time | wandered up and down
The path, to see if left behind
Was one last rose that [ might press
Against my withered cheek, and less
Feel time unkind

Thouaht He Weuid Wait.

A well known Scotch bishop never
married While he held a certain see he
was of course subject of considerable
interest to the celibate ladies of the
neighborhood. One day he received
visit from one of them who had reached
the age of desperation. Her manner was
solemn, yet somewhat embarrassed; 1t
was evident from the first that there was
something very particular upon her mind.
The good bishop spoke with his usual
kindness, and encouraged her to be com
municative BY and by he drew from
her that she had very strange dream, or,
rather, as she thought, revelation from
heaven On further questioning she con-
fessed that it had been intimated to
her that she was to be united In mar
riago to the bishop. One may imagine
what start this gave to the quiet scholar,
who mad long before married his books
and never thought of any other bride.
He recovered, however, and addressing
her very gently, said that doubtless these
intimations were not to be despised. As
yet, however, the designs of heaven were
but imperfectly explained, as they had
been revealed to only one of the parties.
He would wait to see if any similar com
munication should be made to himself,
and when it should happen he would be
sure to let her know. Boston 1racetex

An Unwritten Law Among Bee Hunters

There is a common law among them,
or there used to be amcng the bee hunt
ers of the North and West, that the man
who first finds bee tree is entitled to
the honey The owner of the land where
the tree grows is not brought into the
question. The first duty of man who
finds such tree is to put his mark upon
it. After this if any one else cuts the
tree down and takes the honey the OF

around the wharves a while he slowed him
self away In a cattle hoRt, the Bordarer,
bound to London. After two days he
showed himself on deck, and, although the
captain was angry at first, he allowed him
to work his passage over. The vessel
touched at Deptford, and from thare Nc

around London two days, Mcdonald met
Kennedy, and the two went to Liverpool.
Returning to London, Mcdonald slowed
himself away on the Mllanese OF the Fur

another boat OF the same line. In two days
Mcdonald appeared on deck and was al
10 we'd to work his past age. He arrived In
Boston on Thursday afternoon. That
evening at 7.3D he stole into freight car

CARGO OF on 4FIRB.
A British ship OFF ssedIocs island
Wrapped IN Flames.

NEW YoRR, Sept. 3.-Early thls morning
fire was discovered III thu ncld of the ship
Bay OF Naples lying off BadOeS Island and
bound for RangooU, Illie. with cargo OF
Kerosene oil. The Bay OF Naples is a British
ship commanded by Captain Thompson,
The vessel cleared for Rangoon yesterday.
The police boat Patrol, IA answer to blue
lights burned on board the vessel,
proceeded at once to go alongside.
The sudden extingulshing CT the
lights prevented the Patrol from
coming up with the ship. The rug Leader,
on her way TO Philadelphia, saw the dan.
ger signals and ran alongside; so did the
tug Charm. Both towed the burning ship
around TO Governors Island and heached
her. The crews OF the ship and tugs did
all they could 10 extinguish the iam-s, but
they made little progress. Meanwhile the
Patrol found tue Bay OF Naples and sent
number Of men on board who ran the
hose into the hold. -Four powerful streams
were soon pouring on the burning oil. The
flames succeeded In bursting out through
the decks and were licking the masts.
Half an hours work by the patrols
men sufilced TO put 16 feet of
water In the ships hold and efiectually ex.
tinRuished the flames. The bay OF Naples
is still aground She Is Il full rugged ship
and ls probably worth $1,000. The cargo
