The TELEGRAM HERALD yesterday Is

heats OF the great horse race. The first
edition appeared at four O'Clock and in
less than an hour the entire issue WAS

minutes earlier than and other paper.
The demand for the paper was great,
and continued long into the night.
Over two thousand papers were sold.
The enterprise OF the TELEGRAa-HERALD
in giving the public the earliest and best
written account of the race was gener-
ally commended. The other papers Is

! ARTIFICIAL IVORY.

An Excellent Substitute for the Real
Articlc-Its Composition.
Attempts have been made to produce
a good artificial substitute for ivory.
Hitherto none have been successful. A
patent has recently been taken out for
process based upon the employment
of those materials, of which natural
ivory is composed, consisting, as it
does, of tribasic phosphate of lime.
calcium carbonate, magnesia, alurnina,
gelatinc, and albumcn. BY this proc
ess. quicklime is first treated with
sufficient water to convert it into the
hydrate, but before it has become COM
pletely hydrated, or ''slalSed," an
aqueous solution of phoshoric acid Is
poured on 70 it; and while stirring the
mixture the calcium carbonate, mag
nesia, and alumina are Incorporated in
small quantities at time; and lastly
the gelatine and albumcn dissolved in
water are added. The point TO aim at
is TO obtain a compost sufficiently
plastic and as intimately mixed as
possible. 1t is then set aside to allow
the phosphoric acid TO complete its sc-
ton upon the chalk. The following
day the mixture, while still plastic. is
pressed into the desired form In molds.
and dried in a current of air at a
temperature OF about $50 degrees C. To
complete the preparation OF the artia-
cial product by this process, it is kept for
three or four weeks, during which time
II becomes perfectly hard. The follow
ing are the proportions for the mixture.
which can be colorcd by the addition OF
suitable substance: Quicklime, 100
parts: water. 500 parts; phosphorus acid
solution-i.05 sp. gr., IS parts; calcium
carbonate, 10 r'arts; magncsia- to 2
parts; alumina, prccipitated, 5 parts;
gclatine, Is parts.

Some Reforms Instituted by the Emperor
+; OF Japan. Who "Rules in Person"
| A censor attached to the imperial
court in Pekin having suggested TIL
the emperor should take up the ancient
practice of having the classics and other
sacred writings expounded to him daily
his majesty published this decree:
"Sincc we have undertaken the task of
governing in person we have daily re-
ccived in audience the officials of the
metropolis and the provinces and done
our very utmost to rigidly discern the
the proper men and pass judgment on
their actions. Such time as remains at
our disposal after trarsacting the null
titudinous affairs Of state we devote to
the study of the classics and historical
records, often engaging In discussion
with the imperial tutors and never per-
hitting ourselves for q moment to in
dulgc in luxurious ease" KEN Lung
abolished the reading On the ground
that the readers took the opportunity
to indulge in general advice and in
triguing. He listened for ten years and
then called halt. The present en-
pcror continued: Two emperors have
thus expressed their views with regard
TO this matter and the conclusion they
arrived at was that these expositions
were mere frand; that they do not
advance q true understanding of the
principles of government; that those
concerned endeavored to put forward
the private views and by fattery carry
out their false designs. We see through
all this quite clearly, and it would be
well were the censor TO rcvcrently pnr-
sue the views Of former sovereigns in
regard to this matter. His memorial Is
moreover in many respects obscure and
his arguments arc not to the point. His
proposition need not be entertained"

IA the opinion OF experienced and

OF sir. Williams. That gentlemen sat
la as sulky. evenly balancing his
seighs on the axle 50 that scarcely .
pound of pressure rested on the back
CT as horse. He held the reins with q
rrm hand and inspired MS horse with
confidence. Mr. Nelson on the other
hand leaned forward 50 that his whole
weight rested on the thilis, which in
turn bore down upon the back Of Mel
son, compelling him 10 support the
driver. so long As Mr.. Nelson eat up
right ard held the reins tirm and tart,
Nelson ed the Iowa wonder. When ne
entered the home stretch Mr.. Nslsoa
threw himself forward on to the
launches of MS horse, permitted the
reins to hang limp, and Nelson. the
horse, lost his speed and nerve. With
a cool, careful driver Nelson would
have made Allerton win the race in
2.l0 or lose il. That's what every con-
seEvatlve horsemaa, unprejudlced, 10
wiling 10 admit.
But Allertoa won the race. For his
great performance he will receive more
attention by the press than any other
horse has received in years. Aside from
the fame he has achieved his owner is
$4,000 richer. That vast sum Of money
was made IN as many minutes - there
are thousand dollars in the prize. Ten
Thousand dollars in ten minutes 10 as
phenomenal as the race itself.
This princely purse was made by the
voluntary contributions of those who
paid their admission fee. 1t is roughly
estimated that there were $4,000 per-
sons on the ground. The gross receipts
from admissions were, approximately,
$4,000, which was increased by the re-
served seat sale to nearly $50, 900. 1t is
claimed that the gross expenses, includ-
Ing purses. were, IN round numbers,
81 600. IL these figures be correct the
managers of the race will be returned q
profit OF about $1,000. II matters little
to The public whether the managers
lost or won-but at the same time 1t is
gratifying to know that they will be
abundantly rewarded for their enter
prise in making the race and for bring
ing the two peerless equines to this
city.

OF all the demonstrations of tho ele-

nothing more terrifying than earth

full portent of rum transfixes ono with

scientist food for speculation, but rs
yet he has not succeeded in convincing
himself with anything moro tangible
than theory concerning it. There
are other manifestations which
strike fear and trembling to
the human heart against which the
strength of man is as futile NJ is the
reed to withstand the fury of the storm.
The awful force of the hurricane, the
wild lashings of an angry sea, the re-
sistless torrent of water bursting from
its confinement IN jettisoned courses,
the uncomfortable madness of the fire
fend all have for man an Undesirable
awfulness beyond the power of imagina-
ton tn portray. The difference between
these and the earthquake IN awakening
apprehension is the suddenness of the
latter. Familiarity with wind, water
and fire in the throes of convulsion or
the fury OF disturbance, in
measure minimzes mans fright.
The earthquake comes like thief IN
the night. unexpected, unannounced
and with painful suddenness. Per-
sons are wholly unconscious OF its inn
pending approach and the catastrophe
is over before the first tremor mas
shaken itself and spent its force. Men
are so constructed that the slightest
motion of the solid earth beneath them
arouses an indefinable fright. Wise men
try to change this clement in man by
assuring him that the dangers lurking
within the potential embrace Of the earth
quake are not more to be feared than
the lightning. the storm and the blizzard.
But men will not he assured of this, for
