A Postage stamp Mu,eun,

At Vienna postage stamp museum
has been opened to the public The
museum will be open to visitors daily
and gratuitously. In one room are shown
chronologically all stamps of which
specimens exist from 1910 to 1891.
Among the postal curiosities shown are
balloon letters, pigeon post and sub
marine post letters as they were sent
during the siege of Paris in 1870.
A collection of forged stamps is also
very interesting to the collector Among
the curious objects shown are letters of
the Anthropophagi in the Dutch Indies,
pieces of wood covered with hero
glyphics, and postcards which have made
the tour of the world. For one of these
with penny stamp, which took 119
days to return to it's starting point, an
offer of 1000 horins has been made
There is also a case with a collection
of all the coins struck during the EN-
peror Francis Joseph's reign. The finest
object in the collection is believed to be
a Dundee stamp, worth $500, and a Cape
of Good Hope stamp valued at e10O. The
exhibition comprises 100000 stamps
and other objects connected with the
post.-London Queen.

a Horses Walk on ;, High Trestie.
A strange scene was witnessed recently
on the Northern Pacific tres6le at the
water works. The trestlev is about 800
feet long and 30 feet high Under it is
the Union Pacific roadbed. The ties are
about eight inches apart and are evenly
distributed the entire distance
At an early hour, the attention of a
dozen people was attracted by large
sorrel horse which had walked along the
trestle from the south and was unaware
of the danger ahead. He was unable to
turn around and had fully 500 feet yet
to travel. The spectators were struck
with awe, expecting every moment to
see the animal dashed to atoms by a fall.
Now fully mindful of his danger, it was
remarkable to note the instinct with
which the animal stepped cautiously
from one tie to another.
He had just reached that part of the
trestle above the Union Pacific roadbed
when he became dazed and missed his
footing. His hind feet caught in the tie
and threw him, SO that the rear portion
of his body overhung the framework of
the immense bridge, while he held him
self by his fore feet. The scene was a
sickening one, and the spectators looked
every moment for the fatal fall Sud
denly, with powerful lunge, the animal
threw his body toward the trestle and
managed to regain his feet
Again he started on his perilous walk,
and when within few feet of the end of
the bridge fell again and was caught in
much the same manner. Martin Scully
started to the assistance of the animal
with rope, but the horse was so close
to terra firma that he made an effort to
regain his feet and fell to the sloping
bank, just a short distance below He
then rolled down the bank for about
twenty-five feet. His mouth and hoof
were badly bruised in the struggle, but
otherwise he was uninjured.-Olympic
(Wash.) Tribune.

Real Hailstones.

During the hailstorm at Palmyra Fri
day some children at play ON stoop
brushed up large quantity of the hail
stones as they fell and put them on a
plate to melt, but instead of melting the
stones remained, and upon examination
it was found that all of the hail was
formed around white stones about the
size of peas. and in several there were
fine shells. Most of the stones were
transparent and of blue white color.
Several parties in various parts of the
place report that they also obtained a
quantity of these stones and shells, and
they are all mystifed to know where
they came from.-Oswego On. W Palla-

NATURAL GAS AS 4 MECHAN
ICAL FORCE.

The discovery of natural gas in Can
ada has been followed by another dis
covery of a very interesting and prom
Using character. In building belong
ing to the Provincial Natural Gas COM
pany at International Bridge Ont, there
is Il novel and exceedingly simple plant
which turns out beautifully clear and
solid slabs of ice during the hottest day
in summer, in much quicker time than
nature backed up by a Canadian winter
could do. The plant consists solely of a
small vertical steam engine of ordinary
build and a tank of brine in which is
located coil of gas pipe. The natural
gas is brought from a well eight miles
distant, where it shows pressure of 500
pounds, but by the time it reaches the
engine it is reduced to 10 pounds The
pressure when applied in the steam
chest of the engine acts precisely as
steam and generates immediate and ex-
traordinary power. The effect of this
execution upon the gas is to rob it of all
heat and reduce the temperature. Soon
after the engine gets at work the pipes
from the steam chest and a portion of
the chest itself are coated with frost.
The exhaust gas posses through the coil
IN the tank, reduced from 60 degrees
above'zero, in the full pipe, to so degrees
below zero in the exhaust. Into the
tank of brine are immersed several gal
yanized iron moulds about 14x2S and
four inches thick, filed with pure water.
About ten hours suffices to freeze these
solid. The discovery means that power
can be produced from natural gas with
out steam, without boiler, without
water power, without any assistance
whatever. Besides this is the use of the
cold gas for the manufacture of ice and
the fact that no gas is injured, burned
or wasted. 1t all passes into the main
retaining all its heating and illuminating
properties. The inventor is F. P. Skin
ner of Buffalo and he seems to have
struck Il rich find.

Wore Female Attire All His Life.

Many examples are known of women
dressing as men, but until lately no case
has been known of a man going about
disguised as woman. A man named
Signol, seventy-two years old, employed
as cook, was taken to the hospital of
Saint Antoine, Paris, suffering from gas
tritis. Mistaken, on account of his
dress, for a woman, he was taken to the
ward reserved for members of the weak
er sex. When they found out the mis-
take he was put into another ward.
The strangest thing about the whole
case is that Signol says that he never
wore male attire excepting ON the day
he was examined by the conseil de re-
vision in order to determine whether he
was fit for military service. When he
was seventeen years old he went as a
servant girl TO farm in Lin-sur- Mer.
He remained there eleven years. He
learned to cook at Caen and went to
Paris, where, he was employed as cook
for forty years either in private families
or in boys schools.-Paris Letter

Uniforms for Employees.

A Bristol storekeeper donned white
duck coat, and was so pleased with the
effect that he ordered all of his employees
to wear white duck coats during bust
ness hours. Rather than obey the order
two OF the clerks quit work. Neverthe-
less, uniforming goes on among store
girls, judges, railroad hands, walters
and indeed in almost every occupation
where it is desirable that the public
should recognize the employees. The
mistake of confusing customer for a
clerk has led to rather embarrassing sit
uations in many a store, and clerks who
object to being uniformed have the sat
isfaction of knowing that without their
uniforms they cannot be distinguished
from their employers. Philadelphia In

Mr.. Jesse Howell died at his home in

The West Side says: ''The encamp-
ment of the Oregon National Guard
held in July at The Dalles only cost the
taxpayers of the State $32, ,0OO," and then
proceeds to deliver the usual homily on
legislative jobbery and official corrup-
ton, etc. The truth is that the entire
expenses of the encampments at Eugene,
Portland and The Dalles was $32, 900.
That at The Dalles cost for everything
about $4,000. That $32 900 was no very
extravagant sum to spend on state mi
litia might be inferred from the fact that
California spent this year, for the same
purpose, no less than $150,000. 1t might
stop all kicking if the militia were dis
banded altogether, and when any trouble
arose requiring extra aid for its suppress
sion call Pinkerton and Sullivan's

y correspondent of the Moro NelCs
writing from Grass Valley, makes some
very unjust aspersions on the owners of
the Regulator because, in the list of
those invited to the trial trip, there was
u marked lack of farmers The
writer is perhaps not aware that the in
vitations to the trial trip were issued by
the contractors, Paquet & Smith, to
whom the boat belonged until after the
trip when, being accepted, she was
turned over next day to the directors of
the new company. The directors had
no right to invite. ybody and did not
invite anybody. While there did not
seem to be any cast iron rule about it,
those invited were chiefly stockhoid iders
and their families and the representa-
tives of the press. They were in no
sense OF the upper ten;" but even if
they were the directors had no hand in
the invitation and should not be blamed.
If there was a lack of farmers at the ex-
cursion it was only because there is a
lack of farmers among the stockholders.
