The Manuscript of "KenIlworlh.n

1 was looking not long ago at the
manuscript of "Kenilworthn in the
British museum, and examined the
end with particular care, thinking
that the wonderful scene of Amy
Robsart's death must surely have
cost Scott some labor. They were
the cleanest pages in the volume. |
do not think there was a sentence al
tered or added in the whole chapter.
And what is still more wonderful, he
could dictate with the same rapidity.
Three of his novels, and they are
among his best-"A Legend of Mont
rose," 'Ivanhoe," and 1.-THE Bride
of Lammermoor"-were in the
great part dictated, the last
entirely so, owing to i'll health;
but his amanuenses declared that
they could hardly keep pace with
him. During the progress of THE
Bride of Lammermoor" his pain was
sometimes such that, strong man as
he was, he fairly screamed aloud, but
with the next breath he would con
tinue tho sentence as though nothing
had happened. On one occasion his
agony was SO great that he was beg
ged to give over till it had passed.
Nay" vas the answer. "Only see
that the doors are fast. l would fain
keep all tho cry as well as the wool to
ourselves; but as to giving over work,
that can only be when | am dead."1

Lumber in tl,e Long Ago.

Lumber figures now and during the
war furnish a wide difference. Then
the highest figure received for rough
flooring boards, eight inches and up
wards in width, was $40, and for com
mon and dimension $40. For very
long lengths l received as high as $50
and $50 per 1000 feet. l remember
furnishing the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad with 400 car loads of material
in 1865 at $42 per NJ. There was no
inspection or grading in those days,
everything being sold straight meas
ure. The first lumber brought to this
market from other states was as early
as seventy years ago, coming from the
Allegheny regions of Pennsylvania
Pittsburg lumber continued to find a
market here until 1858, when the COM
petition of up river lumber cut it off.
A portable mill brought to Missouri
by me in 1883 is still turning out from
5000 to 5000 feet of lumber daily

did 1 have many curious advent
ures in African said the loquacious
stranger ooh, yes. But perhaps the
funniest of my experiences was when
i was freed by a zebra in Mbungto-
land. / was sitting under a tree, eat
ing my noon luncheon, when a fine
looking zebra came running at me
like mad. Quick as a flash l climbed
up the tree. The animal jumped for
me, catching his fore legs in the low
err branches. Well, sir, there we
were. He couldn't get away and l
couldn't get down. At last a happy
thought struck me. l just turned
about and descended on his stripes,
which made very good substitutes for

Uses Of Compressed Air.

Every one who has visited Paris in
recent years must have noticed at the
corner of the streets in the rooms of
the principal hotels and public build
ings, the pneumatic clock. In the
apartment In which they are placed
you do not hear the usual ticking of
the clock, but a sound sharp and clear,
which is repeated each minute. The
mechanism is extremely simple, the
important part being a small cylinder,
furnished with a piston, joined to a
small flexible metallic tube and a sys-
tenn of pipes connecting with these in
the street. Each minute a wave cir
culates through thu whole system of
pipes, making a progressive move
men on the face of all the clocks.
The installation of these clocks has
been largely facilitated by the exist
ence of the sewers in which the pipes
are placed According to English
ideas, these sewers shoul be rather
called subways, as they are spacious,
high and furnished with sidewalks, so
that a man can walk in them with
ease.
The compressed air is supplied as
power to thirteen sewing machine
shops, four ice making establish

ing about two horse power, sixteen
printing 'iouses requiring about forty
three horse power, thirty-five wood
working factories taking seventy horse
power and to eighty-six various in
dustries.
Paris offers a specially good field for
this system, as the police regulations
do not allow boilers above the base
ment floor. and there are many indus
tries requiring small power which
could not economically employ sepa-
rate steam engines and boilers. The
gas engines offer many advantages to
the small manufacturers, but when
gas is as dear as it is in Paris it is not
economical.
These facts explain the great sue
cess of compressed air power in Paris,
and in less than two years its progress
has been enormous. In the inter
val between Oct. 81 and Dec. 20, of
last year, seventy-eight horse power
additional has been supplied for mo-
tive force, and for electric lighting,
264 horse power.-Engineering and

The following lines are copied from
the obituary column of a rural New
York journal:
at is with deep regret that we
chronicle the death of CD. M,
Of, New York. He passed away on
Monday morning, March 25th, after
an illness of little more than three
days. We had been acquaint-
ed for five years. We began in the
poultry business at the same time,
both buying Wyandotte eggs of the
same man. The writer soon gave up
the breed and kept only Langshans.
But George kept his Wyandottes,
bought only the best, bred carefully;
and though we have seen many fine
birds, we know of few which lay more
and larger eggs or breed finer chicks
than his do. We have had many
fowls and eggs of him, and would as
quick trust him rs ourself to ship eggs
or to select stock. "-Harper's Maya
