Chinese Beggars.

Everywhere one goes these beggars are
found stationed at intervals Of every few
rods by the roadside. Old women are thus
stationed by their families, who use old age
as source ofspeculation, just as the blind and
lame IN American cities use their miSfortunes
often as a source of gain. I have seen chill
dren give the alarm Of the approach of
foreigners. when infrn Old women, clad
ii rags, would be carried hurriediy to the
roadside, whereupon they would cry out
in piteous pleading for aims, often accom-
panying their cries with striking their heads
against the hard earth to enforce their plead
ing. At Nankin, the former capital of the
original Chinese empire, I saw the remaining
descendants of the royal blood now dethron-
ed since Tartar conquest, who were clad in
faded yellow robes and il whose hands were
borne licenses to beg
The only remaining function of royalty
being the fact that labor is dishonorable to
them, they are solely dependent upon aims
for subsistence. They are called "royal beg
CARS" Only few families OF this dathroned
royal blood remain. Chinese Letter.

FIRE In a PENITENTIARY,
One Hundred Thousand Dollar Loss at
Columbus. O.

COLUMBUS, O., August 27.-One of the
most exciting confagrations that has Wis
tied this city in years occurred at the Ohio
penitentiary this evening. About s
o'clock flames were discovered in the fac
tory building occupied by the Columbus
Chair company. The fire started in the
boiler room where shavings became ignited
10y Goals from the boiler furnace. The
flames had made great Roadway when dis
covered and the prison fire department
was utterly helpless. The city department
arrived promptly but on account OF poor
supply Of water was unable to check the fire.
The flames spread from the chair factory
to the building occupied By the Columb bus
bolt works and a large warehouse. In less
than an hour the three buildings were a
total wreck
The scenes at the penitentiary were ex-
citing. The prisoners were locked III their
cells but the lights had not been put out
and the greatest CONSERVATION prevailed.
Thousands Of people assembled outside
the walls and watched the confiagration.
The greatest excitement prevailed among
those working inside the walls.
Adjoining the chair factory was the gas
works which supplies all the state build
ings with gas. The gas meter containing
many feet of gas was scorched by flames
and an explosion was momentariiy eX-
pected, but fortunately was averted.
The fire was under control at 9 o'clock.
The total loss viii aggregate $4,000; of
this about $40, 900 is on buildings, which
were owned by the state and On which
there was 10 insurance. The factories viii
probably be rebuilt and operations re-
sumed as soon as possible.

A WATER TELESCOPE.
How to Make an Instrument with Nhic
You Can See Under Water.

! How to Make Instrument with Which
You Can See Under Water.
| No doubt good many Of our boys and
girls are ignorant of the fact that they cen,
with very little trouble and at almost no ex-
pense, construct an instrument with which
they can plainly see what Is going on under
the water over which they sail their boats.
The very idea Of s,sch thing is attractive,
and We propose to tell you how it can be
done.
The water telescope may be made of wood
or of tin, whichever You prefer, and we viii
describe both. The tin is better because it is
lighter and more easily handled. Is manu-
factnre is very simple. Get tinsmith to
make for you funnel shaped tin horn about
three feet long, It should be eight or ten
inches in diameter at the bottom and broad
enough at the top for both eyes to look into.
Into the bottom put piece of glass cut 10 fit
and make it perfectly water tight. Leave
the top open The inside should be painted
black to prevent the reelection of the light
upon the surface OF the tin Around the out
side of the bottom solder on several sinkers
TO Offset The huoyancy Of toe air in the water
tight horn and make it easier to submerge
II it is not convenient to get a round piece of
glass, nave Ile ldi51 ellu IlSue square ana use
square glass That's all there is OF it. and
when you sink the instrument down into the
water and put your eyes to the small end,
Won will be perfectly astonisbed at the plain
ness with which you will see all kinds of fish
and water animals swimming around in a
state of nstyire
a wooden water telescope is made Of lorg,
square wooden box, say ten inches square at
the large end and four or FIVE inches square
at the other. Make all the seams water tight
by means of putty and paint. Put piece of
glass in the large cad and leave the small end
open to look into, as you do with the tin in
strunent.
4 great many Of you so on boating and
picnic parties and you can imagine how
much such = contrivance would add 10 your
amusement and pleasure to say nothing Of
the instruction derived from studying the in
habitanis of the watef at home.
Using the principle of the water telescope,
well known naturalist had boat made
with glass in the bottom, through which he
could see every movement Of thousands of

water. Fishermen IN Norway use the water
