Once a Tramp. Then a Governor.

Your correspondent, while passing VI
Pennsylvania avenue with a bureau Off
Ger, passed a man named Wilkinson
who was recently turned out of the office
OF the comptroller of the currency on ac.
count of offensive partisanship. The
bureau officer, after passing Wilkinson,
turned TO me and said:
"You recognize that man? Yes: well,
there was an incident in the early part
OF his life which connects him in a way
with one of the most prominent Demo
Gratis In Ohio. A good many years ago
wilkinson was moving into house at
Springfield, now one of the most pros
porous manufacturing towns in the CEN
trail part of the Buckeye state While
his goods were being put into the house,
and those belonging to the outgoing
tenant were being put on a wagon, a
seedy looking tramp came up and in.
CURED If he could get something to eat,
Offering to assist in the work if he was
accommodated. The outgoing tenant
referred the tramp to the incoming ten
ant, and the latter took the wanderer
into the house and gave him dinner.
There was not much attention paid to
that tramp, and for years those who saw
him on that day lost sight of him.
Finally he reappeared, however, entered
into the business Of the place and began
to grow. He grew in every sphere of
life. He became wealthy and influential. /
A few years ago he was governor, and
now he has more property and money
than any man in his section of the state. 7

Justice Norths decision in London
court that private photographs are pri-
vate property is a reassertion, or rather
a natural application, of principle
which should be familiar. UnscrupulOus
photographers have claimed the right to
sell and exhibit photographs of their
customers against their will, and there
have been legal opinions confirming this
extraordinary view. Thus it has been
held that the employment and payment
of a photographer to reproduce the feat
ures of a private person, for the latter's
private purposes, gave the photographer
right TO use the negative for the pub
LEGATION of photographs for public sale.
Justice North, however, declares the
photographer wholly in the wrong, and
aptly says that while the negative be-
longs to the photographer the copyright
is vested in the person photographed.
This eminently sensible decision should
check practice common abroad For
tunately, this evil has been less prevalent
here, although it exists, and American
courts we believe, have decided that the
photographer has no right to make mer-
chandise of the likenesses of private Gus
toners. Frank Leslie's Newspaper

Cost of booming in Georgia.

heard an amusing conversation be
tween two property holders. One was
speaking of improved values of property
around Augusta, when he said: "A real
estate holder in Augusta is afraid 10 try
to boom his property for fear of having
his tax assessment increased. II a man
goes out on the street and makes the in
nocent remark that he wouldn't take
$25, 900 for certain property, up goes the
assessment to $25, 900, even though he
couldn't get $4,000 for it"
The other speaker said: Zone day /
had some friends at my house to dine.
During the dinner | was asked what my
place was worth, and we were all feeling
good, and l wanted the value Of the
place to sound well, so / gave some ex-
travagant figure which / could never
have got for it. One OF my guests hap
pened 10 be a tax assessor, and, would
you believe 1t. my assessment was in
creased according to my rosy hued state
ment"
The moral seems 10 be either that
man had better talk poor" or else that
the assessors should take something more
substantial as their basis Of assessment
than q mans after dinner OF ante-t-adiug

Going to Chicago in a Tree.

The people of Tulare county, Cal, are
/ going to the Worlds fair in railway
/ coaches Of novel construction. In a gorge
/ sixty miles from Visalia grows a redwood
tree 800 feet high, Sc feet from the butt to
! the first branch and &c feet through at the
! base. This monarch of the forest is TO be
felled, cut in sections lengthwise and
hauled to the Visalia railroad station.
There the log will be made whole by the
| reuniting of the sections Then experts
will divide portion Of it into two lengths
of forty-five feet each, which will after
ward be hewn into the shape of passenger
coaches. The bark will be used for roofs.
and on the sides and ends the natural wood
will be left unpublished
The inside will be followed out, windows
and doors put in, and the interior finished
after the fashion of Pullman cars. One
will be a buffet and dining car, with apart
nents for bath, barber shop and kitchen.
The other will be asleeper with an observa-
ton room. Platforms will be put at the
ends and ordinary trucks underneath, and,
TO prevent the transformed tree from fall
ing to pieces, heavy bands OF iron will be
put around the bodies of the cars.
The tree would be left with the bark all
on but for the fact that the cars could not
be more than the regulation size and get
over bridges and through tunnels safely.
They viii be about II feet wide and 10
feet high. It is intended that tie men %
TulGre shall take their wives and children
and go to tae Colunb ian exposition in the

grounds and the delegation viii make
them their home.

AERIAL SPIDERS.

A Description of Flying Spiders Which
Spin Their Webs in Balloon of Fibers.
Popular Science News calls attention to
an interesting description of the aerial or
balloon spiders, which, spinning their web
in a tasseI, OF balloon of fibers, rise into
the air and are sometimes waited immense
distances by the wind, much as the seeds
of dandelions or thistles are scattered over
the land by the feathery plumes with which
they are provided. The studies of careful
observers have shown the way in which
these little balloons are made. The spider
climbs to the top of shrub or some other
elevated position, to avoid collision with
surrounding objects, and spins a thread,
which as it is formed rises into the air,
probably lifted up by the current of heated
air ascending from the ground. After the
first thread reaches the length of foot or
two the spider cuts it off, and attaching it
to some neighboring object proceeds to
spin another. The process is repeated IN
til sufficient number have been formed
to give sufficient buoyancy to carry the
spider on her proposed journey, when
gathering them together she lets go, and is
waited by the currents of air for many
miles These flying spiders have been OBJ
served at height Of 1000 feet, and it is
believed that their journeys often exceed
1OC miles.

The Tonic Eject of battling.

The tonic effect of bathing is caused
by the contraction of the surface blood
vessels, which drives the blood back 10
the larger blood vessels and the heart
These react and send the blood rushing
back TO the skin, causing the glow
which follows the bath, or ought to fol-
low 1t, the free respiration and the Wig
orous feeling of the muscular system.
The bath should always be followed bv
friction with the hand, a brush or a
towel.
The frequency with which it should be
taken depends entirely on circumstances
1t should be often enough to keep the
pores open and the skin clean. for the
skin does one-third Of the breathing. and
if 1t is closged the lungs must do the
work and they viii be overburdened. AS
. rule the more rapidly bath Is taken
the better viii be its effects.-Herald of

A Hop Picker.

The record of the fertility of American
ingenuity has been increased by the ad-
dition of the invention OF a machine for
picking hops. It is claimed this ma
chine viii do the work as clean and
much more rapidly than it can be done
by hand. The apparatus is mounted on
wooden frame, heavy enough to insure
stability, and is about feet long by 8
feet wide and feet high.
The branches Of the hop bine are fed
into receiver and are seized between
two rollers ard gradually pulled through
The hops fall into an inclined screen,
and by their own weight fall into the
box prepared to receive them. The
leaves and bines fall on the same screen,
but are carried back by the returning
motion and thrown into separate pile.
1t requires only one man to turn the
wheel and another to feed bines into the
rollers.-Boston Transcript.

1W miles,

At the right in the cut is represented 8
spider spinning the threads to form the
balloon. At the left is shown a spider with
a balloon completed and floating in the air.
AT the top is seen a tuft of threads left by
spider after the completion of the journey.
The cause Of the buoyancy of these little
spider web balloons is not thoroughly IN
derstood. Apparently the separate threads
are charged with electricity as soon as
formed, and thus repel each other, to form
light, bulky plume, instead of adhering
together in heavy mass. Their buoyancy
is most probably due to the currents Of
heated air which surround them, and, in
fact, the fbers themselves would become
sufficiently heated by the suns rays to
warm the surrounding air and create an
ascending current. 1t has been noticed
that the spiders only take their aerial jour
neys on bright, sunny days, and that the
shadow of a passing cloud, or the cutting
off of the suns rays by an artificial screen,
causes the threads to droop and collapse.

In their war with Peru. Americans of the
north had therefore come to believe the
Chluans much like themselves in desiring
staDlIlty and being able to maintain it.
The president, Jose Manuel Balmaceda,
an educated gentleman of fifty-one years,
was a LlSssraI in the early part of his career
ana popular orator; but once installed in
power he became reactionist of the worst
type and began to centraliZe power at a
great rate. This caused political union Of
the moderate Liberals and Conservatives,
ana at the last election they gained seven
ty-nve votes in the chamber of deputies
against twenty-nine, and thirty against
Tour IN the senate. They at once demand
ed that tie president should reconstruct
his cabinet and govern according to law.
Balmaceda, on the contrary, proclaimed
himself dictator on the 1st of Januarv
last and began high handed system Of
arrests and other measures to tranquil
lie the country"
Now as Chilli is on the other side of the
equator its northern section corresponds
to our south, so the Congress party got en-
tire control of that section, and with them
went the navy. The net result of the
fighting so far has been to divide the long
and narrow republic in two nearly equal
sections, the Congress party controlling
the nitrate deposits, which supply ths
larger part of the revenue, and having
navy enough to blockade most of Balma-
ceda's section. Balmaceda, however, nag
the army of 500 officers and men. while
the national guard, or armed militia of 49,
Cal infantry and $500 cavalry, is about

The Balmaceda section has just had its
regular election and the president has got

The New Slow Burning Powder.

Guns have lately been built longer in
order to get the full advantage of the slow
burning powder which is now being used.
This combination of longer gun and slower
powder gives a higher velocity, which
means in effect not only longer range
but also greater penetrative power and de-
structive energy on the part of the shot.
With the old powder the shot received
merely sharp, short blow-that is to say,
the powder suddenly produced avery high
pressure, which fell as soon as the shot
commenced its movement-and had long
gun been employed, the result would
really have been diminution of velocity.
With the slow burning powder a high
pressure in the bore can be maintained for
q much longer period.
