The purpose of the electric holophote
curse Indicator, recently invented by Lord
Justice Clerk, is to provide means by
which ships may be able to indicate their
courses TO one another, so as more efTectu-
ally to avoid risk Of collision.
1t consists OF n powerful electric light,
under the control OF, the ships officer.
When a vessel is on a port helm the re
Hector behind the light is moved round by
n handle, so as to cause the pencil Of light
TO pass over the water from Rmidships to
the starboard side. This sweep OF light
will necessarily move over that part Of the
water over which the ship, on its port
helm, will pass, and will thus give to any
vessel coming in an opposite direction dis
tinct warning of the helm the vessel is on
and the part OF the water It win pass over.
The converse action Of course takes place
when the vessel Is on a starboard helm.
This is the most effective preventative OF
collisions that has yet been deviseh.-New

Often have sculptors and painters dis

and painting. A funny story is told of
an artist who resented the disparaging
comparisons made by a sculptor, and
laid n wager that he could. within a

display the human figure as completely
as any sculptor could do. The wager
was accepted, and upon the appointed
day a painting was produced which full
filed all the conditions.

NEW YORK HOSTELRiES.

Some That Flourlsl,ed at tho Beginning
of the Eighteenth Century.
The earliest record of an English
hostelry that our printed documents af-
ford is of the Kings Head, kept by one

Council and Assembly of the province
met for conference, according to the
journal of the latter body, on the goth

show that these meetings were of fire.

Although the City Hall afforded album

The Kings Head appears to have
stood in "Queen street. without
the Notifications" on location
which may be now precisely de-
scribed as the northwest corner of Pearl
and Liberty streets. The sign was the
head of William of Orange, OF GLORIOUS
and immortal memory" then near the
close of his reign. Bakers rival in the
patronage of thee gentry was one Ga
briel Thompson, who kept the White
Lion, the site of which has not been
handed down. His name, with the
mention Of his occupation, is found as
early as 1888. Besides the Kings
Head and the White Lion, the name of
only one other tavern sign between
100 and 1880 has been preserved, that
of the Boot. On the other hand, the
names of keepers of taverns are con-
stantly met with in official documents.
Henry Swift appears as the host who
provided the dinner given to Lord
Lovelace on his arrival to the command

which cost the sum of forty-six pounds

must have been the equivalent of an
enormous quantity of 'bread and sack''

How Milan, tho Ex.Rulor IT Eervla.
Spends His Time In Paris.
Ex-King Milan, Of Servia, has for
months been struggling with the fair
Parisians. They, anxious to make him
their new toy, the idol of an hour, have
used ell their arts to persuade this ex'
sovereign that Ave O'Clock teas are pre-.
ferable to gambling tables and private
dinner parties to the club life and the
society Of Nine. Cristich. Vicomte de
Kerveguen consented to give fete and
introduce Milan to Partisan society, but
the latter refused to accept the PROPOSE
tion. NJ. de Kerveguen would be cor.
tainly more than capable OF launching
the Servlan ex-King on the sea of FASH
ionable life, for he is noted for giving
fetes that, although magnificent, are
still startling in their eccentricity. 1t
was in his house, after dinner, that
the Vicomtesse de Tredeson sung in the
presence OF General Boulanger ''En
Revenant de Ia Revue" and then socie-
ty was shaken to its foundation.
Milan has only consented to appear at
few dinners, and recently he has been
entertaining at the home Of an artist
whose house is noted for its curiosities
and objets dart.
King Milan, now called Count de
Takovo, is my neighbor in the Avenue
du Bots de Boulogne; he has leased the
house once occupied by Prince Leopold
Of Saxe-Coburg for ton years at the rate
Of IS, 900 year, and he enjoys life as q
typical Frenohman is supposed to do.
He is a member of the Jockey Club, also
Of the Creole de In Rue Royale, and in
these clubs he allows no one to call him
Majesty, but is satisfied with simple
monsigneur.
Milan patronizes the French TURF and
the English are grooming because they
have not been called upon to initiate
monsigneur into the mysteries Of
''sport."
While the English regret Milan's de.
cision to remain in Paris, the French
are wondering where and how he dis
poses Of tho many precious gems that
are sent from the shops in the Rue de la
Paix to his home. Perhaps he Is pre-
pairing for q rainy day, perhaps he has a
friend or friends fond of precious stones;
in any case curious ones find no trace
OF the treasures after they leave the
velvet cushions Of the jewelers. win
dows.
Milan does not seem to regret his
throne, but he follows with close atten-
ton all the polite events that take
place in the Servian kingdom. From
time to time he visits Belgrade in order
to watch the progress Of the young
Prince in his various studies and that
of his ex-wife Natalie in political in
trigue. King Milan was educated in
Paris, and he is interested as French
man in the literary, artistic and the
atrical movements of the city of his
adoption.
There are those who believe that
when Milan abdicated in favor of his
son he did so with the intention of re-
turning to power. These accusations
render the ex-King very furious, but in
spite of his earnest protestations he
has much difficulty in allaying suspi-
cion.-Paris Cor. N. Y. World.

One often reads pathetic stories {

One often reads pathetic stories of
pet birds that die simultaneously with,
or shortly after, their child owners. 1t
sounds pretty, but the simple prose of
the matter is that the owners infected
the birds. Canaries and others song
sters will catch scarlet fever, measles,
diph iberia or almost any other human
disease, and If left in the sick-room
they are almost sure to be infected.
Pet cats and small dogs, too, are often
sacrificed in the same way, and in their
cases there Is also the risk that they
will 70 out and become the unwilling
