That well known historical person
age, Augustus the Strong, elector Of
Saxony. has furnished the subject for
many a tale Of his wonderful muscular
power. We need refer only 70 one
characteristic story, in which, however,
he met his match. On the occasion in
question he entered a blacksmith's shop
to have his horse shod To show his
suite how strong he was, picking up
several horsesboes, he broke after
the other, asking the blacksmith
whether he had no better. When Il
came 70 paying the bill the Eleceor
Augustus threw a six dollar pteee On
the anvil Il was a very thick cotn
The blacksmith took il up, broke il in

rALLeYRAND FACES A MANIAC.

His Escape from a Violent Death at the
Hands of His Insane Partner.
In the extracts from the '~'Talleyrand
Memoirs" no mention is made Of the es-
cape the distinguished author of those
Memoirs had from meeting a violent
death on Brooklyn heights. The Incl
dent is related in the volume of Fraser's
Magazine for 1880, and its accuracy Is
vouched for by no less al authority
than NJ. Colmache, T~alleyrand's pri-
vate secretary.
When TaIleyrand fed from France
at the beginning of the Reign of Ter
ror he sought a refuge in England.
There he remained unmOlested until
January Of 1794, when, on the suppo-
sition that he was more intimately con
nected with the events that led 20 the
execution Of Louis XVI than he cared
to admit, he received an order to quit
England, and after vainly appealing to
the foreign secretary he sailed for the
United States, bearing with him letters
of introduction 10 a number of prom
inent Americans, among them one
from the Marquis of Lansdowne 10

A CURIOUS N

The Bloody Hand of a Steamship Com
pany and Its ~signincatiOn.
The private signals of ships often
create curiosity which cannot always be
satisfied. Each line has some peculiar
mark which is known as the house flag,
and which serves for Identification
where other signals might fail. One Of
the most curious of these signals is that
Of the British steamship Dunmore
Head, of Belfast, Ireland. 1t is the
representation of a bloody hand on
each side of the funnel, and in the "a
ter Of a white diamond in a blue flag
flying from the mainmast. Below the
wrist are elongated marks of crimson,
representing dripping blood. 1t is a
left hand, a is shown by the thumb
being forward on the port side and aft
on the starboard side of the funnel
This CORY symbol has a meaning. It
Il the ooat Of arms Of the province Of
Ulster, Ireland, which derived it from
the crest Of the OTehH who were once
the royal family of that kingdom. The
whole is based upon a tradition which
the crew Of the Dunmore Head take
pleasure in relating. Two som of the
king Of Ulster were ~foraging In Scot
land when the death of their father
wa heard.
The two agreed to row across the
channel in their primitive canoes, and
the first 10 touch land was 70 be king,
to succeed the father. When nearing
the shore of the brothers wa about
to lose the race, when he drew his
sword, and placing his left hand on the
gunwale of the boat chopped il of, and
picking it up threw it ashore. He be-
came king, and the bloody hand be
came the crest of the family.
In its descent through ages it has in
these unitarian times served to deco
rate the tunnels of a feet of freight
steamships. The Dunmore Head be.
longs TO the Ulster Steamship company.
The line is better known as the Head
line, as all the vessels are named after
headlands in the maritime counties OF
Ulster. They are the Bengore Head,
Teelin Head, InnsshOwen Head, Horn
Head, Black Head, Fair Head, White
Head, Dunmore Head and the RamOre
Head On all these steamships the
officers the sanguinary hand on
their caps. The plates and cups and
dishes and table linen are likewise EN-
bIazoned. In fact the bloody hand OF
Ulster is prominent everywhere BAL

Those were busting days on the
western rivers fifty years ago when en-

a series Of experiments With hot iron

renders the operation extremely sim

application Of the cautery instrument
used by surgeons. The pencil has a
wooden handle, upon which is mounted
a small platinum tube with a fine point
Two separate receptacles communicate
with the tools by ean of a rubber
tube. One Of these contains a hydro
carbon, such as alcohol, benLine OF
wood spirit, and the other contains
compressed air.
A constant flow Of the hydrocarbon
vapor is maintained at the point Of the
tool, which is thereby kept in a state Of
intense heat. Both ~receptacles are pro
vided with regulating apparatus, by
which the supply of ink can be adjust

time after their arrival in America, he
formed a partnership for the purpose
of fitting out a trading vessel. A small
ship was freighted with goods for Cal

preservation of his life, salvation from

dents Of his eventful career.
Disappointment and vexation, prey
ing upon an irritable temper, drove his
partner mad. Talleyrand saw insanity
in his looks and gestures, but, suffering
himself TO be led TO the heights OF
Brooklyn, which overlook the harbor,
he turned upon the maniac and, fixing
his eyes sternly upon him, exclaimed:
"Beaumetz, you mean 10 murder me.
You intend to throw me from the
heights into the sea below. Deny il,

Thus apostrophiZed, the unhappy

Literary workers do not like to dis
euss their methods. Perhaps they are
sometimes a little ashamed Of the ma
chinery out of which they get names
for their characters, just as they might
be of their rhyming dictionaries. How
many authors have written stories with
all the names left blank, or with the
actual names of their best friends or
the best known Of people, and after
ward sat down with a directory, a tax
list, the catalogue of a college, or the
list of victims in a railroad disaster, to
select or combine laboriously the right
names to give TO their peoplel
Others do not do this at all; they
think the name to begin with, and IN
ne evolution of the story associate the
imagined character with the name 80
Intimately that they could not 60 90
with the story II the parsonage were d
have any other name. A good deal, Il

The Revue Scientiique has been dis
eussing the question whether the apes
of Africa can be taught to do things
which they have hitherto been sup
posed incapable Of learning. Emin
Pasha told Mr.. Stanley that he had
seen apes Carrying lighted brands as
torches during night journeys. From
Purchas' book of travels a quotation Is
given from Andre Battel, who In 1925
says be saw a number Of apes sitting
round a fire, but it does not appear
that they lighted it but only took Gd-
vantage Of a camp fire that had been
left by travellers.
In the BIOLOGICAL gardens the chin
panzees aud other anthropoid apes
have been certainly found capable Cd
acquiring various knowledge, as indeed
may be observed In humber specimens
Of monkeys in companionship Of Ialt-
ian organ grinders. Some Of these
show almost as much intelligence a

In this democratic Nineteenth cent

toward the equalization of luxury and
of the exterior manifestations of re

the models established by two or three
