There is a curious fact to be noted in
association with the exhibition of 'The
Angelus" at the American Art Galleries.
This is that that costly work was not in
sured for a cent The association had
fire patrol on hand night and day, and
in case of fire certain pictures, the chief
OF them "The Angelus. would have
been carried to a safe place in pretty
short order. There are great many
ways out of the galleries. What with
windows on three streets and blind EN-.
frances on Broadway and Twenty second
street, in addition to the main entrance
and scuttles leading to roofs that extend
without a break to Fourth avenue, a
great deal of property might be rescued
if fire was discovered in time.
With an efficient fire patrol on guard,
the association could afford to take the
chance Of insuring itself. l see some
western paper has printed the story of an
alleged plot to steal The Angelus. -"
This is pure bosh. 1t would not pay any
one to steal picture SO well known, be-
cause no dealer. collector or public mu-
scum would dare buy it, and any one to
! WHOM ~ W do OlACItt' hiONAI NlifbN -
must be stolen, would be likely to put the
offerer under arrest. The attempt might
be made for the sake of possible re-
ward, but here also imagine it would
be failure, for the ownersare persons of
the sort who would rather eXpend double
the money to capture and convict thief
than pay a premium on his felony

relegraphr by cann on sound.

Guns have for some years been used
with most satisfactory results for fog
signaling on the Swedish coast. Their
signals have been heard as far as twelve
nautical miles, which we believe is a
greater distance than the signal from a
siren can be heard. A new gun has Just
been manufactured and stationed at
Hohne Gadd, in Sweden, Commander
Engstrom having furnished the drawings
for this as well as the previous guns.
The one in question is made of best
wrought Sandwich Bessemer steel at
the Stafsjo Engineering company. 1t is
10 feet long and the caliber is 60 millime-
tres. The breechloading mechanism is
of Commander Engstrom's design and
allows of firing from twenty to thirty
shots per minute. 1t will thus be posi-
BILE to fire letters according to the Morse
alphabet, one shot being dot, and two
shots close together a dash.
OF this system of signaling more may
be heard by and by. The breech loading
mechanism can be taken out and to pieces
in less than minute, and without the
use of any tools, and also put together
without any. The cartridges can be used
from 100 to 300 times. The gun rests on
a gun carriage of wood and is placed in a
small hole in the wall The shed or house
is very conveniently arranged for the
men, with accommodation for refilling
the cartridges, etc. The gun, with 49,
brass cartridges, spare ports and ammu
milton for 10, 600 shots, has only cost e275
The gun can probably stand some 10000
shots, so the cost for a shot, exclusive Of
powder, will be only about 2d.-Engi
neering.

Charles II of England was noted
for his good nature, and although he
was sometimes called "Unthinking
Charles" yet his heedlessness was
more an apparent than a real char
acteristic The extravaganza of his
reign went hand in hand with his
poverty, and on some occasions even
the royal table was but poorly served.
There is a story told of Grammont,
who one day dined in state with the
king.
Charles babe the count to notice
that he was served upon the knee, a
mark of respect to guests of the king
not common at other courts.
Il thank your majesty for the ex-
PLANTATION" answered Grammont. Il
thought they were begging pardon
for giving you 50 bad a dinner. y

Did Jeanne d,Arc Rurn2

The reproduction, with Sarah Bern
hardt in the leading role, of the play of
"Jeanne dare" in Paris. has given oc-
casion for renewal of the old contro-
versy as to whether Jeanne was ever
really burned at the stake or whether her
place was not taken by some one else
and she set free. One M. Lesigne has
brought together in a book all the facts
tending to show that Jeanne never was
burned, and chat she actually married a
country gentleman in Lorraine and
raised a large family, of whom there
were direct descendants as late as a CEN
fury ago.
The stories were first put into circula-
ton in 1888 in publication called Mer-
cure Gallant. and were then based upon
discoveries made by a certain Father
Vignier among some old manuscripts in
Metz. The first document was a record
of the visit of Jeanne. the Maid of Or
leans, to her relatives in that city, and
subsequently there was discovered mar
riage contract of Robert DIES Armoises
with Jeanne of Arc, the Maid of Or
leans" the marriage having taken place
at Arlon, where the Duchesse Elizabeth
of Luxembourg made a splendid fete OF
the occasion.
The deed in which the MAID" and her
husband conveyed certain land was also
found, and subsequently at Orleans i'll
the public archives there were discovered
various entries in the public accounts
that went to show that moneys had been
paid to her or for her to her relatives at
various times after she was supposed tC
have been burned at the stake. These
documents have made it absolutely GER
tain that somebody who was known as
Jeanne dare" and The Maid of Or.
leans" was living and somewhat of pub
lie character for many years after the
original Jeanne had presumably been re-
duced to ashes. The advocates of the
original Jeanne, however, insist that the
woman to whom the documents refer
must have been a different one, either an
impostor or a woman whom some con
nection with the army had caused the
people of her acquaintance to designate
. by the title of the dead heroine.-New
York Sun.

Gas jets may be made important aux
iliaries to ventilation Inserted in the
bottom of air shafts, they establish active
currents which withdraw the vitiated
air. A cubic foot of Illuminating gas
can be utilized so as to cause the dis
charge of 1000 cubic feet of air, and a
common gas burner will consume nearly
three feet of gas an hour, so that the
quantity of contaminated air that would
be extracted from an apartment during
that time would be 5000 feet. BY suit
able contrivances gas lights, the effects
of which are but too often pernicious,
may not only become self ventilating,
but may be also made to contribute ma
terially to the publication of the air of
inhabited apartments.

ONLY a BOX.

Only a box, secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long,
Lying here in the drizzling rain,
Waiting to take the up bound train.
Only its owner, just inside,
Cold, and livid, and CLASSY eyed;
Little to him If the train be late.
Nothing has he TO do but wait.
Only an open grave somewhere.
Ready 10 close when he gets there;
Turfs and grasses and flowrcts sweet
Ready to press him meath their feet
Only band of friends at home,
Waiting TO see the traveller come;
Naught he will tell of distant lands;
He cannot even press their hands
He has no stories weird and bright,
He has no gifts for a child's delight;
He did not come with anything:
He had not even himself to bring.
Yet they will softly him await.
And he win move about in state;
They will give him when he appears
Sorrow and pity and tender tears
Only a box, secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long;
Angels guide that soulless breast
Into long and peaceful rest

My first journey into the great
world beyond our hills was by the
Erie canal. There were then no rail
roads in our part of the country, but a
trip on that wondrous watery high
way by a fast packet, the horses al
ways on the trot, was, can tell you,
something bewildering and exhilarat-
ing in its rapidity, novelty and va
riety. The lock passages" were
thrilling episodes. We were only
five days in going from Syracuse to
Buffalo. 1t reminded me of the
magic carpet journeys in the
ARABIAN Nights. Grace Green

HOW the MIrslssIrpl was Made.

AS possible theory of the origin Of
the Mississippi river, among the ma y
that have at different times been brought
forward by noted scientists, the most re-
cent is the suggestion that its erosion
was accomplished by means of mighty
cataract, which began far down the
river, near it's original mouth, and by
gradual retrogression, dug out the valley
like gorge. That this theory is tenable
may be inferred FROM the high, wall like
bluffs, features SO characteristic in the
upper part of its course. A wearing
away of a monster cataract would, of
course, necessarily leave high bluff walls
on either side, which are well known
features of ''the father of meandering
streams" 1t would seem, according to
this theory, that St. Anthony falls con-
stitutes the remnant of what was once
the most stupendous cataract in the
world. 1t is estimated that IL must have
taken 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch.-St. Louis Republic.

Georgia,s Champion Eater.

The champion eater in Georgia is

ored, is the man. At one sitting he
accomplished the following; In 24
minutes he ate six dry soda crackers,
a one pound onion in one minute,
box of sardines in three-quarters of a
minute, six more crackers in three
minutes and wound up on half pint
of apple vinegar, which he said was
mighty funny whisky. Atlanta Con-

The Miserly Shah.

A Teheran correspondent of The Lon
don Times, in a long article on 1.-The
Shah and His Government" writing of
the personal character Of Nasr-ed Din,
says: Ills least attractive feature is a
miserliness which induces him to hoard
large sums Of money and bullion, frac-
ton of which, devoted to the practical
regeneration Of his country, would make
his name live in history. In addition to
the masses Of jewels contained in the
royal treasury, he has private fortune,
slowed in vaults or elsewhere deposited,
which is known to consist of at least
three millions sterling. This treasure is
being continually recruited by the pres
ents received on the smallest possible
provocation from any minister, noble,
official or merchant possessed of large
means. Meanwhile the country lies inn
poverished, and progress is indefinitely
delayed, owing to the alleged absence of
native capital"

The Rat plague in Lincolnshire.

The rat plague in the fen district of
Lincolnshire still continues to cause much
uneasiness among the farmers. A press
representative was recently conducted
over one of the affected stackyards, and
was astonished at the enormous destruc-
ton wrought in all directions. The runs"
in the stacks were as large as rabbit bur-
rows, and in many instances half the
produce of some crops has been destroyed.
The woodwork of the buildings has been
gnawed through, while the holes in the
drain banks are SO numerous as to form
a kind of vast honeycomb. The rats APP
pear almost as numerous as ever.-Pall

The Importnuce of Occupation.

There is nothing that adds more to the
zest of life than an interesting occupa-
ton; even if it means hard work, there
is a recompense in the enjoyment of well
earned rest. No work ought, however,
to be overpowering, or SO exhaustive
that ones energies fall below their aspi-
rations. On the other hand, no life is so
thoroughly wretched as one where the
necessity and desire for work is entirely
wanting; and this is particularly true of
persons Of education and intelligence
who allow themselves to fall into that
unsettled condition of mind where moth
ing is of interest. 1t is difficult at first
to force an interest. but when the first
step is made the habit Of regular occupa-
ton, if only for one or two hours day,
becomes valuable. Active minds, if not
supplied with some subject for solid
thought, will finally prey upon them
selves, and end by breaking down the
physical health. Herald or Health.
