A Curious Nlausoleum.

Thomas Banks, one of tho most pc
culiar characters that ever lived in Ala
bama, died recently in Montgomery. He
was a native of North Carolina, and
went to Montgomery in 1866, then in the
middle of life, but poor and friendless.
He was industrious and miserly, and
soon accumulated an estate valued at
s2O0,O00. Fifteen years ago he had a
handsome mausoleum erected in the city
cemetery, and directed that he and his
brother should be laid to rest there to-
gether. His only brother and only rela-
tive died last year, and was inferred in
the mausoleum. Thomas Banks had the
mausoleum furnished with washstand,
bowl and pitcher, soap and towels and a
comb and brush. He used to visit the
place daily and make his toilet in the
mausoleum. He could not bear the idea
of being buried under the ground, and
said if he should come to life again he
would like himself in comfortable quar-
ters.-New York Star.

busted herself in making fire of fallen

which she sadly needed, poor child!
Next came our turn to wash, and oh,

Icame back to the tree, walking pam

A Great Railroad Tunnel.

Six hundred men are now digging the
railroad tunnel under the st. Clair river
at Port Huron at the rate of fifteen feet
each day. This means that before the
year is out one of the most important
pieces of civil engineering in the country
will be completed. More than 1900 feet
of the tunnel proper is now ready for
trains on the Michigan side, and 900 on
the Canadian.
The tunnel itself is over G, 1000 feet long.
The approaches are equally long, so that
the entire length will be more than two
miles. Of this distance 2,31O feet arc
under the river, 1880 feet on the Michi-
gan land side, and 2,100 on the Cana
dian.-New York Times.

Lighting the Fire by Electricity

Electricity has stepped in mercifully
to alleviate the miseries of the early riser
on dark winter mornings. An arrange
ment has been devised by which con-
nection is made between the room clock
and the stove. The clock indicator is set
over night to any required hour, and
when the hour hand reaches that time
in the morning an electric connection is
established with the stove, which is then
lighted by an electric spark. The sleeper
in the mean time is not disturbed. AS
the temperature of the room rises, how
ever, it is indicated by small thermo.
stat, and when it has reached point Of
summerlike comfort an alarm is sounded.
The sleeper, of course, is awakened, but
the act of jumping out of bed has now
no terrors for him, and the morning
ablutions are performed without shud-
der.-New York Sun.

A Mu,l,room I,ureau.

The census bureau sprang up in the
night like gigantic mushroom. When
Mr.. Porter was appointed superintendent
a few months ago it was represented by
a single individual known in the interior
department as the Census clerk" Now
it has 1900 employees in the Offices here,
and 45, 900 men will soon be in the field,
not counting the thousands of special
agents. 1t will spend on paper and
printing $500, 1000, and for other expenses
nearly $4,000, 900 more-for it costs about
ten cents head for every man, woman
and child to take the census of a people.
Finally, it will publish twenty-five vol
umes, and then, like mushroom, it will
go out of existence, leaving not trace
behind save one solitary census clerk
sitting at desk in the department of the
interior, until the year 1900 shall arrive
and another census shall be in order.
Then the mushroom will sprout again.

Mirage In Ohio.

A remarkable instance of the atmos-
pheric effect known as mirage was wit
messed at Ashland, o., on March 10. 1t
appeared about o'clock in the western
heavens, and was clear and well de-
fined picture of a city, with all its build
ings SO distinctly visible that their differ.
ent styles could be easily distinguished.
Owing to the great distance of the objects
thus reflected, however, the steeples of
the churches and the walls of the houses
were slightly inclined. The image was,
of course, inverted, but was life sized,
for the reflection enormously magnifed
the picture, though leaving it exquisitely
sharp, thus causing it to present re-
markably realistic appearance of large
and populous city suspended in the air,
or falling through it, for an amazing
feature Of the phenomena was that,
while the city itself was SO clearly de-
fined, there was no reflection whatever
of the ground on which it stood.-Phila-
delphia Times.

A Hello Aunihilator.

One of the most unique inventions Of
the day is being exhibited in this city,
namely, telegraph which gives the
message in the handwriting of the send
er instead Of in dots and dashes.
The instrument is small and compact,
takes up less room than telephone,
and, it is claimed, has many advantages
over the latter, the most important being
that after two parties communicate with
each other they have written record in
their own handwritings of the CORE
spondence. The instrument is placed
upon stand or desk, and the only parts
of it visible are fountain pen, stylus
attached to the box and a narrow strip
of paper.
The stylus is taken up, and the act
draws the attention of the central Office.
The operator writes the number of the
instrument of the person with whom he
desires to communicate. He is connected
and the narrow strip Of paper begins
moving. The stylus is in reality the
means of transmitting the message. It
is attached to the apparatus below and
as it is moved in the making of loops and
lines of the letters in breaks and recon-
meets currents, carrying the little foun-
tain pen to make the identical characters
on the strip Of paper before him and also
causing the pen Of the receivers instru-
ment to record the same characters.
When the receiver wishes to reply he
simply takes up his stylus and writes
while the other remains quiet.
The instrument is designed to either
take the place of the telephone or to
work in addition to it. 1t is cheaper, be-
ing let out at an annual rental, and,
like the telephone, connected with CEN
tral Office. Although probably most USE
full for use in cities, tests have demon
strated its practicability for interurban
use, one message having been accurately
recorded 800 miles away, and going e8
miles over All ordinary wire with a single
battery.-New Orleans Picayune.

Natural Calcimina.

There is within few miles of Hazel
Green, KY, bank of clay that makes a
very superior calcimine when dissolved
in water, and if railroad was running
to the place it could doubtless be made
very profitable. We have seen a wall
washed with this clay three or four years
ago, and it is as good today as when first
put on. 1t will be good thing for some
man whenever railroads come near
enough to furnish transportation.-New
York telegram.

much. "Baboon woman" he said, as
though such people were common, and
then turned his attention to soothing
Tota, who was moaning for more water.
Meanwhile Hendrika came down the

swinging by one hand from a bough,
dropped about ten feet to the ground.

mends that appointments of cadets be made
at least one year before they enter the academy
The board reports that the building known as
the students quarters is entirely inadequate for
its purposes and is badly located The sale of
the unused hospital building is recommended
Additional houses for officers are also required
