NEW YORK. March Is. 1S91.-A densely
packed throng Of well-dressed people stood
shiveriug before the door of an immense
brick building in Brooklyn the other even
ing. From time to time the door opened
and forty or fifty were admitted, when 1t
would be closed again until there was room
inside for more. Hurryiug along the street
came rather short man, neither thickset
nor thin, with keen gray eyes, a shrewd aud
kindly face, beardless except for short
''chinner." He seized the situation at
glance.
Come this way" he shouted to those on
the outskirts of the throng. an let you in
at the back door," Then he started at q
dog trot down an alley at the side of the big
building, followed by hundred or so
people.
The man with the gray eyes was Charles
Pratt, and the building, of course, the in
dustrial institute which he founded and
which is his pride and pet. Lit I'D at every
window, looming huge through the dark
ness, it was an impressive monument to the
sagacity which has made Mr.. Pratt one Of
the richest men in the country and the
generosity with which he uses his wealth !;
as the waiting people at the door testified to
felt want" which would appeal to public in
terest.
Within, the halls and passages were
crowded to suffocation. All the processes
Of instruction were going on. There were
thousands of students, thousands of visit
ors. There were boys and young men lay
Ing bricks, doing carpenter work, sketching,
painting plumbing, wood-carving. There
were women and girls doing most of these
things and cooking. dressmaking and hat
trimming beside. There were rooms full
of splendid casts, books, collections of mill
erals. curiosities, fabrics. art objects, sam
pies OF student workmanship in every
branch on exhibition.
Two great buildings, one behind the other,
are already in use. Another larger than
either is soon to be built All the classes are
full to overlooking. The best experts OBJ
tainable are teaching them. The completed
plant will cover not lots but acres, and ex-
tend six stories into the air Yet it is only
three or four years since the ground was
broken for the first building

Little has been heard of late of the at
tempts that have been made toward estab-
fishing universal language. though the
professors Of Volapuk claim that they are
making steady progress In that direction.
The great difficulty in the way of establishing
Volapuk comes from the necessity for every
body to learn it. in addition to his mother
tongue. Now, If we take English, which is
far mole widely spoken than any other Eu-
r0pean language, we shall have hundred
aud thirteen millions of adopts to start with,
who will not have to learn new tongue; 1t

of weeks to make this pipe. A bulls head,

Some of his best work, the artist said, was
made from photographs. Shortly after the
war he made a great many meerschaum
pipes, on which were carved the bustS of
the leading generals, such as Grant, Sheri-

often wants carving of the bust of his
favorite actor, singer or public man, aud
also of the head Of his horse or dog, etc.
One of the largest carvings he ever made
was war piece, in which twelve figures
were represented.
Another design consisted OF five birds
artistically arranged about the pipe. A
unique design represented baseball
pitcher and catcher in playing attitudes. 4
fine piece of carving represented a snake
curling around a skull, in the latter being a

A EeAioas Theological student Fails Into
the Hands Of he Police.
The life of a park policeman Is 90
destitute of incident that it was natural
that one of them should start in sur
prise one morning in Central park
when he heard a series of unearthly
sounds come from a secluded thicket
In a little frequented section of the
great pleasure grounds. The sounds
were Of a kind which, If heard in a
house at night, would have at M
stamped II as haunted. The voice, or
voices were now raised in anger. nov
dropped in love.
At one time the accents told of an
overmastering hatred, at another they
seemed 10 speak of victory and joy;
sarcasm was now the keynote, then bit
ter invective or gentle pleading. The
policeman warly approached the fast
nesses whence the noises came, fully
convinced that he had a dangerous
duty TO perform. He felt of his re
volver to make sure that it was all
right and stole forward until he saw
whence the voice came.
In a little opening in the forest stood
a tall young man, in a long, black frock
coat. His black hair was long and
tossed in disorder. The man had
taken off his hat and overcoat and had
thrown them IN the ground. He was
all alone. but was declaiming away,
gesturing with his long arms as if ad
dressing large multitude. The police
man could at first make neither head
nor tail out of the spectacle, but when
he heard what the lanky young man
was saying he became convinced that
he was an escaped lunatic. This wss
what the orator repeated " 6er and over
again:
30 thou. that rollest above, round
as the shield of my fathers! Whence
are thy beams, o sun, thine everlasting
Ightf'
The nan ran through the whole
gamut of human passions and moods
with the sentence, varying his express
sion each time TO correspond with hate,
longing. hope. love, envy, pathos OF
the other feelings which he wished TO
represent.
The size Of the speaker, the vehe
mence which heput into his words, and
above all, the energy with which he
swung his long arms in emphasizing his
/ question, gave the policeman such a
wholesome idea Of his physical proves
that be quietly withdrew for assistance.
With two brother policemen he came
back to capture the supposed %lunatic.
The young man had put on his hat and
overcoat and was leaving the secluded
spot when the policemen came up to
him and made him a prisoner.
To their great surprise he submitted
calmly, and asked what he had done.
When they told him their suspicious
ne did not know whether to be angry,
mortified or amused. He soon ex-
planned 70 shem that he was a student
at the Union Theological seminary, and

elocution % go over the lines Of Ossian,
out of doors, putting in them the vari-
out emphasis and intonations. He
knew of no better place to practice in
han Central park, so he had gone
there.
The Righteousness of the whole thing
fually struck all four of them. and they
burst out laughing. The prisoner was
released, but hereafter when he goes TO
Central park to practice elocution he
wil take an audience of one with him.
