Lulea's Great Elevator

The great elevator built on the quay al
Lulea, by the Swedish Norwegian Railway
company, for loading ore direct into ships,
has now been finished, and its operation is
reported to be a success, the elevator raising
three trucks simultaneously in two minutes,
the same being then moved along the rails to
shoots leading into the hold of the ship, and
emptied. The whole arrangement is said to
be so perfect that q ship of some $500 tons
may be loaded in a day. In the engine room
are two engines of sixty horse power each,
steam being supplied by three boilers. The
engines pump water into two accumulators,
whence 1t flows through underground pipes
to the elevator, which it will raise with a
load of 100 tons on 1.-THE hydraulic pressure
being equal to twenty atmospheres, or at the

of July 81. last. by shot from a pistol

INNOCENT URCHINS.

That Is Apparently So, but They Havs
Their Wits About Them.
III there Is any place where one needs to
keep all his wits about him it is in the mis-
sion Sunday school The urchins who are
there gathered together have no reverence
for either things sacred or things profane
and they are ready to question anything and
everything said to them with frankness
and a boldness which is eminently discon-
certfng to any one not accustomed to this
sort of thing.
They are not above playing tricks and lay
ing snares for their teachers On one occa-
sion a young rapscallion in North End
school remarked in a sanctimonious tone:
My father drinks
The unwary teacher, falling into the trap.
began to talk to the class of the evils Of in
temperance, and of how much little Johnny
was to be pitied for having a father who was
given to the dreadful habit of intemperance.
She waxed eloquent, and spoke at considera-
BILE length, secretly feeling that she had never
done better, and that she must surely make
an impression upon her pupils
And then when she had made an end
of speaking, and all the class were supposed
to be in an eminently edited condition of
mind, little Johnny finished his sentence with
a
possible, even the very elect
MY father" he said, drinks WATER
And he smiled confidingly into the face of
his teacher, as if he were sure of her ap-
proval and as if he enjoyed the approval of
clear conscience; as indeed very likely he
did.
On another day when a teacher was en-
deavoring to impress upon class of news
boys the beauty of Righteousness and to give
them some sort of a leaning toward the paths
of decency, sobriety and godliness, an impu-
dent, saucy faced youngster, known among
his companions as Bully Sam" leaned for
ward and, holding out to her battered nickel
which had the general appearance of having
been run over by horse car, observed:
IL say, now, III give you that to stop"
1t may he judged how much effect the les
son had after that.
Still again clever Boston girl had under
taken the task of instructing a pew full of
newsboys, bootblacks and telegraph messen-
gers, and the lesson CHANGED to be upon the
raising of Lazarus. Taking into account the
fact that the boys knew of the telegraph, and
finding that it was very hard TO interest them,
she turned the talk to electricity by asking if
there was any way in which the dead could
be raised to life, and going on to say that
there had been people who believed that it
could be done by electricity
She found that she had at last gained their
attention, and, dreading to lose il again, she
went on little with her talk about the force
and its manifestations The boys listened in
tently, and presently one of the dirtiest and
most reprehensible of the gang gave a hitch

toned the mayor this morning to veto
the ordinance reestablishing the proper
grade; the mayor politely replied that
he did not believe in vetoes, but did not
express himself in the present case. II
is safe to presume that he will no,
exercise his prerogative in a case of so
much vital importance to the city. Re.
newed threats of injunction were then
heard, but reason and consistency war;
rsut the conclusion that such talk is idle.
No application has so far been made for
one. As said before, injunctions are
liable to prove an expensive undertaking,
and could not be made too much so in
this case.

EiRel Tower Comment.
A SUMMING UP OF THE IRON MON
STER OF PARIS. -

The whole tower could be lifted by
four men of average strength. The
case has been proved. When it was
about half it's present height a few
men actually did lift it. This is not
humbng +; the thingis is perfectly SIM
pie. The construction of the tower ia
based on the cantilever principle. and
its bulk of G, 400 tons is so adjusted as
to press on the foundation with less
weight than that of man in an arm
chair on the floor.
Is the tower beautiful ? No. But
it has the erect, fragile-looking ele-
gance OF an obe.isk not hewn out Of
red granite, but knit of dark-hued
meshes. And at any, rate, in the eyes
of its admirers, it PLAYS the part of
mountain tops in the clouds, produe-
ing new atmospheric effects in our
views of Paris. Tinted vapors hang
round its summit; the gray shading of
cloudland, the pale pink of dawn, the
lurid hues of sunset furnish striking
backgrounds for the iron lacework.
1t is useful, form the department.
of industry which gave it birth utility
is the aim and end of work. As if
everything on earth were not abso
lutely useless f; as if every work of man
were anything but an excuse for en-
! ploying energies forever in search Of
some new thing No. 1t is Of no use
at all, and that to my mind does it
credit. 1t must I've taken for what it
is the barren flower Of the slow
growth of industry. Its use is to as
tOnish gapers, and that is something to
boast Of, after all, for 1t must be own
ed that it is hard to astonish folks

Appalling Disaster.

The dam of an immense reservoir,

Johnstown, suddenly gave way, under
the accumulated pressure of unpar-
allelled freshets. The torrent swept
everything before it and where thrift
and cOntentment existed but few
