his fist in his face, said some more
real harsh words, and breathed his

When everything was in readiness s
for work except the lad type, J.
Wilson scratched his head and
thought real hard. Pretty soon an
idea struck him and with smiling face
he took few pieces of billiard chalk
and made several diagrams of cases
promiscuously over the warehouse
floor, on which the lad" type was
laid.
A few weeks later, when all was in
type, the new roller that was ordered
from Frisco did not show up. But
after two days more of hard thinking
J. Wilson hit upon the idea of using q
large bologna sausage in its place.
He tied a stout cord at each end of it,
and striking another attitude, pro-
nounced it one of the greatest discov-

PRINTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

During the recent California boom
there was once started a newspaper;
in fact there were several newspapers
started; but this particular newspaper
was interesting, not from its bright,
crisp locals, singing editorials or
mechanical make up, but from the
difficulty with which the first issue
was gotten out.
There were several capitalists who
bought q large tract of land near the
coast, many miles from any railroad
or steamboa landing. This was
real nice stretch of country consisting
of 25, 900 acres of very nice land, with
park like growth of large oak trees.
There were several wooden buildings
of an ancient style of architecture,
besides numerous adobes. The land
company proceeded to put the land
upon the market as soon as possible
and streets were laid out, water
piped, etc., and when everything
was thought to be In readiness, they
discovered that they had neglected
the first essen tial of "booming"-a
newspaper. A journalist acquaint-

A Female Prisoner in India

the majority were quiet though gull

THE LARGEST LIGHT.

Million Candies.

An Electric Lamp that Is Equal to Sin
Million Candles.
The most powerful artificial light in
existence is the property of the English
Government, and is to be found in the
Isle of Wight. The lamp referred to is
that of the lighthouse of st. GATHERINGS
Point, where there is also a large fog
horn. The plant has three engines Of
thirty-six horse power each. Two OF
these are used for working the dynamos,
and the other for the fog-horn. The
current is conducted by wires across a
road direct from the dynamos to the
lamps there being no accumulators.
The light is obtained from carbon
lamp OF special pattern. The ordinary
light is equal to 5000, 600 candles, but
light of 6.00o,0oo candle-power can
be and has been obtained. 1t is impos-
sble for any one who has not seen it to
imagine the wonderful brilliancy of the
light but some idea may be formed
from the fact that it can be distinctly
seen forty five miles away, and that at
the Needles, fourteen miles distant, it is
quite easy to read very fine print by
means of the reflection.

eats it, producing the same symptoms
as the plant. Pigeons and various 9TH

while in warm -bloodcd carnivora it
