A Millionaire's Floating Palace.


Philadelphia Times, Atlantic City Letter
strange looking craft appeared off the
ocean front day or two ago, being pulled
along at a slow pace by a tug boat The fog
was 80 dense that not even the many seafaring
people around could make out what it was.
Some suggested that it might be Noah's ark,
sent here by the Almighty in anticipation of q
Hood; others said it was the floating palace
from Coney Island, and others even made the
foolish remark that it was one of the houses
carried away during the Johnstown food. It
finally reached the bar buoy on Thursday
night and yesterday morning was brought int O
the inlet on the food tide, when its true char
acter was disclosed to the curious throng in
waiting. 1t is a magnifcently appointed float
ing boat house, on the lower floor of which is
snugly resting very handsome steam launch,
which can be run out at pleasure. The name
OF this floating palace is the Falcon and it is
owned by Mr.. Alexander MacGaw, a prominent
and wealthy bridge builder of Phiiadel phia. II
was brought here from New London, Conn.
and left sandy Hook last Saturday in tow of
the tug boat Alert, Capt. Scott, who reports
having had very rough passage. She is now
lying opposite Plums pavilion wharf and will
remain IN these waters for several weeks. Mr..
MacGaw's two sons accompany him on board
the Falcon and are ever ready to inform the
curious a. to the why and wherefore" OF their
strange craft.

A Novel and Cheap Elevator.

From the Scientific American.
A Berlin inventor has devised simple and
inexpensive elevator for private dwellings, in
place of the ordinary staircase, which may sug-
gest to some inventor better means of accom-
plishing the same object. The Berlin invention
is on the principle of the inclined railway, and
the motive power is furnished by the city
water, which is applied in the cellar; each
fight has its separate chair, SO that for ex-
ample. one person can ascend from the first to
the second story while another is on his way
from the second to the third, or still another is
descending from the fifth to the fourth. The
chair being only the width of the human body,
leaves free passage for any who wish to walk
up or down instead of riding. 1t is set in mo-
ton by simple pressure of one of its arms.
and after it has been used ii slides back to the
bottom step, its descent being regulated in
such manner that the passenger is carried
with entire safety. The motive power is, of
course, more or less expensive, according to
the cost of water, this being, il is stated, at
Berlin at the rate of little more than one
tenth of a cent only for each trip.

Death From Tight Lacing.

From the st. James Gazette.
Averdict of death from tight lacing is, per-
haps, still to be sought among the curiosities of
law. But Birmingham jury have come near
it in verdict of death from pressure round the
waist. The victim was a poor servant girl who
died after fright and her death was attributed
by the medical witnesses to the fact that she
was too tightly belted to enable her to stand
the wear and tear of any sudden emotion. She
was notorious tight LAGER; her collar fitted so
closely that it was impossible to loosen it at the
critical moment, and under her stays she wore
belt so remorselessly buckled as to proven I
the free circulation of the blood.

A very curious collection Of ladies' garters is
kept at the Hohenzollern museum at Berlin.
Whenever there is wedding in the Hohen-
zollern family number of these short silk gar
tiers with the initials of the newly-married
princess are distributed among friends. The
collection was begun by William l, and the
Oldest garter is that which was woven on the
occasion OF the marriage of Prince Friedrich
Wilhelm Ludwig with the daughter of the
reigning duke of Anhalt Bernburg, in 1917.
There are twelve carriers from the reign Of
Frederick William Ill and ten from that Of his
successor, Frederick William Nv. They are all
made Of ribbed silk Of different colofs, braided
with gold or silver, and many Of them are
finished of at both ends by heavy fringes.
