Secret Agents Of Foreign Nations.

/. 1t is fact not generally known that q
number of foreign governments keep at
the American capital secret representa-
tives, themselves Americans, whose duty
it is not only to watch the American Gov
ernment but to keep an eye upon the
ministers and legations sent here by
their employers. These secret agents are
usually men who have held high official
positions under the United States Gov
ernment, giving them a great advantage
in procuring information. The diplo-
matte representative of government is
expected to attend to all official matters;
the secret agent keeps his employer in
formed concerning the latest gossip, So
cial, political, diplomatic, military, na-
val, in which that government may have
interest. Sevellon Brown, formerly
Chief Clerk of the State Department, is
the secret representative of France in
Washington. John W. Foster, formerly
United States Minister to Mexico and
Russia, represents both these countries
here, Mexico as an attorney, with an an
nual salary of S25, 900, and Russia as
secret agent, with salary said to be
$40, 1000 year. Spain, Germany, Chi
ma and Chill are other countries which
hire bright Americans to help watch
their interests in this capital. Philaael-

The Worlds Tallest Chimneys.

The tallest chimney in the United
States, says the Boston Globe, is claimed
by Kcarncy, near Newark, N. j., it
being 335 feet high, % feet in diameter
at the base, and containing no less than
1897, 900 bricks. Enormous as some
of the American smoke shafts are, they
are but pigmies beside those in the told
country" Scotch and English chimneys,
it seems, are famous for their cloud-reach-
ing pcculiarities. At the Dobson &
Barlow mills, Bolton, England, there is
an octagon stack, 3691 feet in height and
over 33 feet in diameter at the base.
Glasgow, Scotland, is famous for its tall
chimneys: Tenant 6 Co. have one
which runs up 455l feet, with base of
80 feet, while the great Townshend
stack, in the same city, towers 46S feet
into the air from the foundation, with
big base measuring 80 feet in di-
amcter. This is generally spoken Of as
the tallest chimney in the world, al
though the men of Paisley declare that
they have one 500 feet high. In Hal
flax, England, there is an octagon tower
rising 3S1 feet, with base of 30 feet
and weighing 10000 tons. In Bradford
there is stone shaft rising 300 feet
above the ground, being nine feet at the
summit. At the shell foundry of Wool
wich Arsenal there is chimney 223 feet
above the ground and 16 feet below it,
with Portland stone cap weighing
seventeen tons. At the Edinburgh Gas
Works there is one rising 341 feet into
the air, and Haddersfeld has cirular
shaft of 321 fcee.
In France the tallest smokestacks are
built of iron, the most notable being
two at the Crusot works, one being 1877
feet high, and the other 279 feet. Liver
pool, too, has one cloud TOUGHER in the
shape of chimney at Musprat's works
406 feet high.
Taken by themselves, these attitudes
do not, perhaps, convey any very striking
idea to the reader, but when placed in
comparison with the height of other
structures it will been seen that they
rank among the highest constructions of
4 thS NOkhus LII Jaw, eASAN oAS WV WV -
three of the remarkable columns, monu-
ments, towers, etc., that lift their heads
above the highest of these tall chimneys.
The Washington Monument is only %
feet higher than the Paisley chimney,
and only one pyramid, that of Chcops, is
higher than the Townshend smokestack
in Glasgow. The Bartholdi statue, which
is 329 feet high, is II feet shorter than
the chimney of the Edinburgh gas works,
while the'towers of Notre Dame, Paris,
the porcelain tower, China; the spire of
Trinity Church, New York, and the lofty
tower Of st. Botolph's Church, Boston,
England, are all exceeded in height by
the Bradford stone shaft. The City
Hall tower, Philadelphia, is only thirty
seven feet higher than the Paisley smoke
stack, while Dobson & Barlow's chimney
is nearly twice as high as the leaning
tower of Pisa, and is eighty feet higher
than the dome of the Capitol al Washing

A BOy Hunter.

A buck had been seen several times
going with herd of Mr.. W. F. Sowell's
cattle, says the Sylvania (Ga.) Telephone,
and several efforts had been made to kill
him by the hunters of the "fork," but
without success. On Wednesday, how
ever, as the children were on their way
from school in the afternoon, they saw
the deer with the cattle, and Mr..
Jenkins's son went home for the gun to
shoot it. When he got home he found
he had no buckshot so taking a piece OF
lead he cut it into large slugs, loaded his
gun and returned to the place where the
deer had been seen, and took stand by
which the COWS had to pass in going
home. Very soon they appeared, and
the buck among them. Our young hunter
took unerring aim, fred and the buck
fell dead. Being some distance from
home, he was in quandary as to how to
get it home, but remembering that he
had small pet OK and block wheel
wagon he asked the children to guard his
game while he went home to get his little
OK and wagon. As he was getting the OK
in shape to 60 for his booty, MIR. W. F.
Sowell came along and helped him to get
it home, hauling it with the yearling and
block wagon, and dressed it, and soon
each of his little school mates were seen
trudging home with piece of vension.

The Result of Inventions.

In cutting out clothing and cloth caps
with dies one worker does the work OF
three by old methods.
In leather manufacture modern meth
ods have reduced the necessary number
of workers from five to fifty per cent.
A carpet measuring and brushing ma
chine with one operator will do the work
of fifteen men by the old methods.
In the manufacture of flour modern i'm
provements save seventy-five per cent. Of
the manual labor that once was necessary.
In making tin cans one man and boy
with modern appliances can do the work
of ten workers by the old process.
By the use of coal mining machines
100 miners in a month can mine as much
coal in the same time as 500 miners by
the old methods.
One boy by machinery in turning
woodwork and materials for musical in
struments performs the work of twenty
five men by the old methods.
The horse power of steam used IN the
United States on railways, steamers and
in factories and mines was in 1883 II, ,OOO,-
900, against 1910, 900 in 1850.
In the manufacture of brick improved
devices save one-tenth of the labor, and
in the manufacture of 6rebrick forty per
cent. of the manual labor is displaced.
In staye dressing twelve colaborers
with machine can dress $4,000 slaves
in the same time that the same number
of workers by hand could dress 25Oo
slaves.
In mailing on shoe heels one worker
and boy with machinery can heel 800
pairs of shoes per day. 1t would require
five workers to do the same by hand.
In the manufacture of carriages it used
to take one man thirty-fve days to make
q carriage. 1t is now made by the aid
of machinery with the work of one man
in twelve days.
In the cotton mills in the United
States the manual labor has been reduced
about fifty per cent. Now one weaver
manages from two to ten looms, where
one loom was formerly tended by one
worker

The CurYatnre of q Baseball.

Century Nagasine has a very interest
ing illustrated article on baseball. Speak
ing of the curving of balls in the air, the
writer says: ''The most logical cxplana-
ton of the curvature of ball depends
upon the supposition of the compression
of the air just in front of the ball and a
corresponding rarefation Immediately be-
hind it, so that the ball by its friction is
DETECTED from its true course" This
was the theory held by the late Professor
Proctor, who gave great attention to the
phenomena of the motions of Il ball after
it had left the hand of the pitcher. The
professor wrote an article for an English
magazine on the subject of the curvature
of the thrown ball. This article was
shown by the writer of these paragraphs
to q noted pitcher of the League, and he
pronounced the theory of the Professor
and the theory advanced in the Century
magazine unnitigated nousensee--Detroit

A Railway Tie Nursery.

A queer phase of railway industry is a
railroad tie nursery near the town of
Darlington, Kan, in the southern part of
the State. 1t is the largest artificial
plantation of forest trees in North
America and is owned by the Southern
Pacific. The different sections have been
planted, respectively, two, four and six
years. One-fourth is planted with the
ailantus, the rest with catalpas and a
few white ash. Those first planted are
about twenty-five feet in height, the last
about twelve, Some of the taller are
about seven inches through the stem.
There are in ell about 100000 trees in
full vigor on these plantations. Out of
these trees will come the railway ties of
the future.

Burglars Keep Shady.

'People need rarely be afraid of men
who come to the door begging for some
thing to eat" says Chief O'Neill, of the
St. Louis detective force, to Star-Say-
ings' reporter. "Such men are usually
common tramps, who haven't grit enough
to attempt any violation of the law.
Burglars and thieves would never think
of visiting house and allowing the in
mates to see them if they contemplated
robbing the house. Yet women are
always frightened to death, almost, when
poor, broken-down tramp comes to the
door for something to eat, being seized
with the fear that he must be some bold
and villainous burglar who has come to
find out the lay Of the land before he
starts out to rob the place.

A Dangerous Load.

ADenver gentleman, who had been on
a camping-tour through the mountains,
recently returned, and relates an incident
which testifes to the statement that even
the most dangerous callings become Or
dinary everyday affairs to the men en-
gagged in them, the element of danger
being apparently lost sight of. He was
driving his team across mountain road
when, coming to q narrow place, another
team was met. In this latter were the
driver and his wife, and, as the passage
was narrow and rough, there being many
powders on the side where the turning
out had to be made, his wife got out OF
the wagon. This was to be expected,
but when the Denver tourist saw her run
somewhat speedily and hide herself behind
large rock, it somewhat astonishcd him.
II say" he asked, "what makes your
wife act that way?"
"Oh, I don't know exactly, but guess
she may be little scared"
'.But what is she scared about?"
ooh, I have got some stuff in my
wagon which she does not like to see
bumped over these rock" and he coolly
proceeded to head his team over the
powders.
"Say, what have you got in your
wagons'
"You see those three boxes-well, they
are full of giant powder"
"My goodness, man, you don't intend
to drive over these rocks with all that
explosive matter2"
"Yes, I do. Why not2 I have been
teaming giant-powder for ten years."
"But it might explode and blow us,
horses and all, to the dickens"
.sWhat of it2 we would never know
what hurt us, would WEI"
And it was with difficulty that he was
persuaded to wait and carry it about fifty
teet.-Denrer Meas.

Uses fcr old Shoes.

II may be q surprise to some people 10
learn that the old shoes cast into the
ash barrel are liable to reappear IN the
boudoir and parlor. An inquisitive re-
porter who saw couple of rag pickers
quarreling over lot of worn out and
seemingly worthless foot gear interviewed
one of the chiffoniers and found that
they sold them to the manufacturers OF
wall paper. He followed up the clew,
and on questioning the foreman OF one OF
these establishments, elected the follow
ing bits of information:
"We buy" said the foreman, call the
boots and shoes that the scavengers can
bring US. We pay different prices for
the different qualities of leather. A Palr
of fine calfskin boots will bring as high
as fifteen cents. We don't buy cow-hlde
boots. The boots and shoes are 1lrst
soaked in several waters to get the dirt
off from them. Then the nails and
threads are removed, the leather is ground
up into a fine pulp and is ready to use.
"The embossed leather paperlngs
which have come into fashion lately, and
the stamped leather fire screens, arc really
nothing but thick paper cover with a
layer of this pressed leather pulp. Tho
finer the quality of the leather the
better it takes the bronze and old
gold and other expensive colors in the
designs painted on them. Fashionable
people think they are going away back
to the medieval times when they have
the walls of their libraries and dining
rooms covered with embossed leather.
They don't know that the shoes and
boots which their neighbors threw into
the ash barrel a month before form the
beautiful material on their walls and on
the screens which protect their eyes from
the fire.
awe could buy the old shoes cheaper
if it were not for the competition from
carriage makers and bookbinders and
picture frame makers. I don't know
how many other trades use old shoes and
boots, but the tops of carriages are large
ly made of them, ground up and pressed
into sheets. Bookbinders use them in the
cheaper forms of leather bindings, and
the new style of leather frames with
leather mats in them are entirely made OF
the castoff covering of our feet. ."-Nei'

Millionaire Jay Gould.

Everything about the hundred million
aire, Jay Gould, is of public interest,
says a writer in the New York Press.
You will hear him talked about in
groups of men of all classes. Even his
personal habits arc topics of converse
ton. Not long since one of his init
mate acquaintances and business asso-
ciates told me that Mr.. Gould has within
a short time made a new rule about his
letters. They are all opened by his con-
fdential private secretary. Those which
relate to business affairs in which he is
related are laid upon his desk. All 9th
ers of whatever nature are consigned to
the waste basket. His mail is enormous.
It consists of begging letters, PROPOSE
tions to enter new business lines, threat
ening letters and a great many others,
which, under his rule, are destroyed.
His legitimate mail IS still enormous, and
would task an ordinary man to answer
it. I am told, however, that he is never
in hurry, which shows that he must
have extraordinary working power. He
has come to limit his reception of callers
to much the same lines as his correspond
ence. ~ don't want to see you, sir" he
said recently to a man who had pushed
his way into his presence. 81 have no
interest whatever in the matter you wish
me talk about, and you must excuse me. "
When the gentleman said that he sought
to interest Mr.. Gould the latter quietly
but firmly responded: "But, my dear
sir, that is just what I do not want you
to do. I don't want to be interested in
anything moro than I am now interested
