A Curious Calculation.

A rapid penman can write thirty
words in o minute. To do this he
must draw his quill through the
space of o rod-16Aft. In forty
minutes his pen travels furlong;
and in FIVE hours and q third q
mile. We make, on an average,
sixteen curves of the pen in writ
ing each word. Writing thirty
words minute, we must make 4eS
to each second; in an hour 2S,S00;
in a day of only five hours, 144:-
600; and in a year of 800 days,
1920, 900, The man who made
100000 strokes with a pen in q
month was not at all remarkable.
Many men make 100000. Here
we have in the aggregate mark,
800 miles long, to be traced on
paper by each writer in 4 year
In making each letter of the ordi-
nary alphabet, we must make from
three to seven strokes of the pen
On an average, three and one-half
10 four.

4 Wonderful Mountain.

Almost in the exact geographical
centre of Wyoming is mountain
of solid hematite iron, with 600 feet
of it above ground, more than q
mile wide, and over two miles in
length. Besides the iron, the noun.
tain contains bed of Ignite coal
large enough to warm the entire
world for a century, a dozen dried
up lakes of soda, where the soda is
deposited to depth of over 800
feet, some of the lakes being over
600 acres in extent. In a mountain
adjoining there is petroleum basin
larger than those of Pennsylvania
and West Virginia combined. Out
of some of the springs pure rectifed
coal oil is trickling at the rate OF
twenty to thirty barrels per day.
A wonderful country, indeed.

opening of wells in the desert which
have been deserted, the digging of
new wells wherever water can be
found and planting gardens and
trees.
This will be accompanied with
necessary work among the neigh
bors and with active antagonlsm
to the slave stealers.
Before fully joining the brother
hood, novitiates spend fifteen
months in preparation, then a pro-
stationary period of five years, and
then are expected to join for life.
1t is reported that two thousand
men have already offered them

taken as nucleus to the new

A TARGET FOR THE TEMPEST.

Does i. seem discreet to construct
wind-motor of wood, such weak,
perishable material, when it is de-
signedly held aloft in the most ex-
posed position and compelled TO face
every storm?
It's mission is TO be out n all
weather and endure all exposures.
1t should. therefore, be made OF the
most enduring and the strongest
materials, and aside from the work
ing sails, present the least possible
surface to the grasp of the tempest.
Where lightness is so important
and weight so detrimental as in u
windmill, it is an error to add weight
where strength can be more etfectu-
ally gained by using stronger mate
rial.
The manufacturers of the Aermotor
make the sails, bands and arms
OF the wheels OF steel. Other parts
requiring strength are made OF the
same material.
The history of one farm machine
is the history of all. The huge four
horse wooden reaper became the
compact two-horse self-rake reaper
of greater efficiency. The unwieldly,
wood-frame, four-horse, self binding
harvester that broke OF its own
weight, has given place to the snug,
trim, light-steel, two-horse machine.
In each case it is lighter machine
doing more and better work with
less power. The great, clumsy,
wooden hulk of a windmill, the
target of every tempest, suffering
more exposure and used more hours
of the day than any other farm tool
will as surely make way for the
smaller, more compact and more
efficient steel Aermotor sold by the
Hawaiian Hardware Company.
Like unto the wife who halves
your sorrows and doubles your joys,
a geared Aermotor and its attach
ments will do one half more work
and cost less than one-half the price
of the old style wooden outfit doing
less work. Less than one-half the
space is used and double the room is
left in the barn. The weight is less
than half that OF wooden outfits con-
sequently freight charges less than
one-half.
Like the steamer that sets out on
a journey while sail boats wait for
wind and tide, the Aermotor works
while other windmills stand idle
waiting for wind. An expert me-
chanic is not required to set up this
outfit, anyone can place it in posi-
ton. 1t costs about the price OF one
horse and will do the work OF four.
Like interest, it works while you
sleep, it neither gets tired or eats
oats.

MONDAY,
PHILANTHROPY EFFORTS.

1t is always more pleasant to |
record a liberal gift from q living
man than bequest from one who,
having the control of wealth, re-
tains it in his own hands till they
sink on the deathbed, and then it
is discover ed that he leaves it by
Will to some great charitable or
educational or other philanthropic
purpose. 1t was thus that Geo.
Peabody and many others made
their munihcient gifts out of their
own pockets, and we now with
pleasure record the use to which
Baron Hirsch is putting large
portion of his great wealth. Living
generally in Paris he has represen-
tatives in New York who assist
poor but deserving Hebrew imlni-
grants in America TO the extent
last year of $4,000 q month. He
has now placed the sum of 81, 400,-
900 as trust fund to be admin
istered by an executive body of
prominent Hebrew citizens of the
city of New York, the income to
be devoted to the improvement of
the intellectual and moral, as
well as the physical condition
OF the poorer Hebrews. Vast num-
bers of these unfortunates have
been driven from Russia by the re-
cent barbarous edicts. and the
Hirsch Fund will assist needy i'm.
migrants on their arrival, and
transport them to suitable local..
ties, train them to handicraft Oh
agriculture, and put them in the
way of getting their own living.
The wordy war between " Gen
eral Booth and his antagonists i:
still carried on. Professor Huxley
contends that the remedy is worse
than the disease, and the money
subscribed does not go entirely tt

The secretaries of several old estab
lished charities which have beer
for years working on the sam,
lines as those propounded by tn
General, as if originated by him
self, complain that their friend
fall off as the monster subscription

piled proportionately. Meanwhile
it is stated that Booth is in treat,
for a suitable farm in Berkshir
which includes twelve cottages,
mill and two "good residences
and is said to be peculiarly adapte,
for the requirements of the 'Army.

Murphy's Hotel, whore, with Manager
Duncan Harrison, he was stopping.
David Seymour, son of X-Mater-

turned to Newark from Richmond yester-
day and narrated the story of the affair to
a reporter. Sullivsn's company had gwen
a performance at Mozart Academy on
Tuesday and on Wednesday morning pre-
pared TO VISIT Norfolk, where they were
billed TO appear. During the night Ar.
Seymour found it impossible TO sleep be-
cause of the great racket which was going
on in Sulliyan's room adjoining his. 10

The warfare was continued throughout

the following morning the unnelgh0orly

scowled at Seymour and jostled the table
with the intention of upsetting the other
mans cup of coffee. The waiter appeared
at this point and Sullivan ordered SIX boil

Manager Harrison quietly explained that
the steak was TO be done rare, and when
the waiter turned TO fill the order Sullivan
hurled an epithet after him. Then the

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
LeiqeI' SAYS: You must furnish your own
pillows, wraps, towels, ETC.,
and as all travellers IN Russia as a general
thing have them, you are not much in-
commoded, except at times, when you can
not undress. The great trouble is from
the unusual amount of bundles and
traps of all sorts that passengers are
permitted 10 take into the cars with
them, oftentimes thereby infringing
upon the rights Of others in the occupying
of all the racks and most of the desirable
seats, especially so when often upon trains
of from ten to twelve passenger-cars there
ia no more than one half of a car allotted 70
frst-class passenPers. The first-class half
is painted blue outside and numbered, and
the other half drab, also numbered as to
class. You are also annoyed at the clouds OF
cigarette smoke, caused by the universal
habit of smoking in the cars, at table, and
almost everywhere elss. There are no
smokiDg-rOoms, not even IN the hotels.
Women, without regard to rank, all join
in. Travel is generally by second class;
the peasants by the third, with very little
difference, except in fare. between the first

NEGRO 1nRNlNG WHITE.
Gradually the Change Has Been Taking
Place for Five Years.

Green Howell, an old eolored man from
Midwife, is only partly colored, though a
full-blooded negro, his skin being as much
white as it is black, says the Savannah
Ne1Bs.
He has white circles around his eyes
and mouth, and his neck is almost en-
tirely white. The forehead and top of his
heard are so white that it gives him the
appearance Of being bald-headed.
In reply to questions Green said that he
had been turning white for five or siI
years. The skin on his body and legs now
is almost entirely white. He said there is
no feeling in the change and no pain about
it. except that when be is in the sun the
white skin blisters.
Green is over fifty years old. The white
skin exposed 10 view is Rs clear and healthy
looking as that of q Caucasian.
