Remarkable Ban hearings.

An improvement in ball bearings has
been made which f~oreshadows what
may not be inaptly termed the millen-
mum Of mechanical art. By their use
friction appears to be almost complete
ly abolished. A pulley fitted with the
bearings has been on exhibition at
Washington which is driven with a
thread Of No. 200 spool cotton 70 a
speed Of 1,200 revolutions per minute,
without oil or any other lubricant, and
absolutely without heating--the plane
surfaces that are exposed to the bear
ings, and the bearings themselves, be-
ing al no time raised above the normal
temperature of cold steel.
1t is thus conclusively shown that
where no heat is developed there is no
friction, and if no friction there is no
wear. The applications Of these bear
ings are nuniDerless. BY the saving Of
power in the removal of friction. which
is demonstrated by experiment TO be
not less than 80 per cent, by the saw
ing of coal or other fuel necessary to
the production of this power, in the
saving of lubricants hereby rendered
unnecessary. and in various other re-
auctions of expense incident 10 the di-
versified capabilities of this new device,
there is evidently to be wrought a not
able revolution in mechanics. Wash

CONGRESSMAN GRAINS POKER STORY


Why BE wasn't shot on the First Night
and How He Escaped on the second.
Congressman Grain. who represents
the Galveston district Of Texas, tells
some remarkable stories of poker play
ing in that state during war time. Ii
was an epoch there of lawlessness and
mob rule, and personal bravery was the
quality of leadership. One night he
was playing in a game with three OF
four Others. one Of them a Desperate
named Boyd. The latter took ad-
vantage of the c%onviviality of the pro
ceedings to hold out a card, and Grain
saw him do it. On the spur of the mo-
ment Grain said. Boyd. you are cheat
ingI"
1t was a foolish thing to do, unless
with pistol in hand, because it meant
immediate murder. But, TO the sur
prise of every one. Boyd simply turned
very pale laughed and replied Grain
boards at my house, you know, and so
/ can't afford TO shoot him"
The next evening Boyd anne unin-
vited into Grains room, where some
other men were, and offered to play
Grain a game of two handed freeze
out" The latter assented and they sat
down at the table, while the rest drew
their chairs back and waited for the
tragedy they supposed was coming. A
few minutes later Boyd again cheated,
so openly that he doubtless intended TO
be caught. and Grain at once charged
him with the offense.
Immediately Boyd leaped TO his feet,
seized two chairs m threw them into
the air. One of thu n struck Boyd as
it fell, and he drew the pistol he had
ready, cryiag. "Cr in. you hit me with
a chairr'
Like a fash" says Grain, in telling
the story. my instinct as a criminal
lawyer came to ny aid. saw that bis
purpose was u claim self defense in
shooting me. So, without stirring from
my seat, | pointed my finger at Boyd,
who had me covered with his gun, and
said: Boyd, you know that isn't true.
1 haven't touched you. If you want
TO fight I'll accommodate you anywhere
you like and with any weapons within
an hour Of this time. Let's fight, if
need be, but there's no occasion for
murderi'"
Grains GOODNESS of action saved him
and the duel never came of, because
friends interfered. He lived to secure
Boyd's ~acquittal of murder subse-
quently. Later on, however, Boyd
was killed with his boots on in a row.

APARTMENT HOUSES N PARIS.
They Are Grand on the Outside, but
IntcrnnI Arranrements Are bad.

They Are Grand on the Outside, but
Internal Arrangements Are had.
We self satisfied Americans boast of
u great buildings, and think nothing
approaches them or any other feature
Of our modern development. Yet the
first thing that impresses an American
in Paris is apt to be the great size of
the buildings in the residence portions
of the city. The people live in fats, to
be sure, and these great tall half
blocks and whole blocks faced with
yellow stucco harbor the population Of
villages, but how tiny our New York
dwellings are beside theml How small
most Of our apartment houses appear
by contrast
In the great hOneycomb in which l
tenanted one cell l got an idea of how
this mode of living is ordered. ! en-
tered the building by a ~carriageway
that led into a great court. There was
a side entrance to the court, which foT
some reason was In use after s o'clock
at night. On either side of either por-
tai were stairs leading to the upper
stories-the ground floor being taken
up with stores opening on two streets.
Exactly opposite the main entrance
was the Office or headquarters of the
concierge, commanding a view of the
court and of both entrances. / saw an
old woman there always. and she made
my acquaintance for the purpose of
asking me to call out the name Of the
family with whom / had taken lodg-
ings whenever 1 came in after nightfalL.
l wish now that l had once failed 70
shout my landlords name. in order
that l might know what would have
happened in that event. l saw few
finer looking or larger establishments
than this, and yet / viii not say that il
was typical
Speaking for it and no other, / will
simply say that grand as its exterior
was, and clean and tidy as it looked
from the street and from the court, it
was none the less a perfect trap for
gas and a mine Of untidiness.
The condition Of the closets on every
floor was execrable. | can never be

escaped typhus fever if / had not kept
my windows wide open all the time l
was indoors. The stairs were rude,
narrow, uncarpeted, dark and dirty,
and the odors Of neglect and careless
ness weighted the atmosphere in the
public parts of the house.
Let those who have been in other
Latin countries say whether this is a
general condition in them. l have
been in Cuba and in France only, and
every breath / drew indoors in Paris

Fraudulent Giants.
The teeth and bones of the fossil
elephants found in Europe were for
merly assigned to giants, and many re
markable stories we're circulated TO
garding what was supposed to have
been an extinct race of men with
teeth weighing from four TO ten
pounds The last Of these finds,
which was believed TO be the remains
of a giant of the genus homo, was dis
covered during the reign of Louis XIV,
and was referred TO as the giant of
Dauphine.
These gigantic remains were discov-
cred by a surgeon, who stated they
were inclosed in an enormous sepul-
chre, covered with a stone slab which
bore the inscription, "Teutobochus
rex" and that in the vicinity there were
also found coins and medals, all OF
which showed the remains 10 be those

 Ex- Minister Osborne in an inter view in regard to the Chilean situa- ton tells how vindietive the people of that country are. He said: "I regard the strained relations as very unfortunate at this time. The Chil- cans are a very sensitive people and treasure malice. IT 1t should be- come necessary for the United States government to humiliate them if would require a century to restore the amicable relations which existed prior to tho Balmaceda revolution. About the close of the civil war Chile and Peru were in difficulty and Spain sent fleet which bombartied Val paraiso. The cannon balls are yet imbedded in the custom-h house, and the Chilean government will not al low them removed. The youth of the country all know the story, and the cannon balls serve as q constant reminder that their hatred toward the Spanish government must not be suffered to decrease"
 The Department of State received a telegram from Minister Egan dated Santiago. October 2S, in which lac gives the following reply Of the Chilean government to the Presidents telegram of October a, asking reparation for the recent murder of American sailors in the streets of Valparaiso. "The minis ter of foreign affairs replies that the Government of the United States formulates demands and advances threats that, without being cast back with acrimony, are not accept able, nor could they be accepted in the present case, or in any other of like nature. He does not doubt the sincerity, rectitude or expertness of the investigation on board the Bal timore, but will recognize only the jurisdiction and authority of his own country to judge and punish the guilty in Chilean territory. lie says that the administrative and judicial authorities have been investigating the affair, that judicial investiga- ton under Chilian law is secret and the time has not arrived to make known the result. When that time does arrive he will communicate the result, although he does not recog- nize any other authority competent to judge criminal cases than that established by the Chilean people. Until that time arrives to disclose the result of the investigation he cannot admit that the disorders in Valparaiso or the silence of his de- partment should appear as expres- sion of unfriendliness toward the Government of the United States, which might put in peril the friend ly relations between the two coun- tries"
