A desire for distinction is a weak
ness common to humanity. In many
cases the desire is so excessive that.
If fame is not to be had, notoriety is
welcome A ludicious instance is
furnished by Captain J. c. Powell,
formerly in charge of the Florida Camp.

q batch of prisoners, and went to the
courthouse to find the deputy sheriff.
He is on the street," said the
county clerk, "and is sure to be some
where between such and such places.
You can't possibly miss him.
But I don't know the gentleman.
said the captain. GLOW am l to
identify him?"
"Well, I'll tell you," replied the
clerk. Just 60 ahead until you see
the ugllest man you ever laid your
eyes on. That's Eminger. There is
only one of him in the United States.''
Captain Powell walked down the
street and began scrutinizing the
passers-by. In q few minutes he saw
q man SO phenomenally ugly that he
was ''petritied with astonishment.
Il hesitated no longer" he says.
sbut approached the man and ad-
dressed him by name. He at once re-
piled, and asked in some surprise how
I knew him. Iexplained, and he burst
into hearty laugh.

How to Improve as Walkers.

~ f5t5 - - ~ s'VR1SV0 oS w 0lN0t %
women do not possess much grace
IN their daily walk, and style and in
dividuallty are all that redeem the
walk of the modern girl from actual
awkwardness," remarked an observ-
ant old gentleman to a louisville
Post writer, as he stood on Fourth
street watching the procession OF
beauty that passes along that
thorough'are every afternoon. "There
are exceptions, Of course, who possess
freedom Of action and grace, but, as
rule, women stride, shuttle, hobble or
amble along in any way, regardless OF
how they look SO long as they get
there, and, though they may be pos
sessed of beauty or wit, is allspoiled
by their ungainly walk, Any woman
can learn to walk if she would take
pains and practice. She should throw
her shoulders back and, holding the
body firm above the hips, give the
gliding motion to the lower limbs,
and at the same time avoid taking
too long steps, which gives a girl a
certain manly appearance that is not
attractive. If women would keep in
mind these facts they would soon OBJ
serve a great change for the better in
their walking"

Photographic Transmission.

There is some possibility of an at
tempt being made to transmit photo
graphs OF scenes by telegraph when
the Worlds Fair opens as a. syndi-
cate is proposed in Chicago which will
undertake to send photographs by
telegraph and reproduce them on a
screen in distant cities by means OF a
system of telephotography, The
exact system to be adopted is not
mentioned; but it is said to have been
described in the Paris Figaro some
three years ago in comments on ex-
periments by Nj. A. Courtonne, a
French chemist. In these days three

Has the Earth Cometarv Tail?
1t is we'll known that tails of comets
stream away from the sun, and are OF
very low density. Various hypothesis
have been propounded to explain
their movement away from the sun;
but the most promising is that OF q
Russian physicist, who ascribes it to
the solor radiation acting on a mass
OF extreme tenuity, whilst on the
other hand, the attraction of gray
itation operates between the solar
mass and the solid nucleus OF the
comet. The same physicist accounts
Tor the mysterious terrestrial phenom-
enon Of the zodiacal light in The same
way. He believes that the earth has
also a tail of cosmic dust, not lumin-
Gus OF. itself, but by rejecting the sun,
light. - ..s..s. Ill. ~
Photographlng the Sound of Vowels
At the recent International Con-
gress of Physiology at Leige, PROBES
sor Herman demonstrated his method
Of photographing the sound OF novels.
The novels were sung out before one
OF Edison's photographs. Immediate
ly afterward they were reproduced
very slowly, and vibrations recorded
by a microphone. The latter was fur
nished with q mirror, which reflected
the light OF an electric lamp upon a
registering cylinder, covered with a
sensitized paper and protected by an
other cylinder with a small opening
which gave passage to the rays OF
light from herehector. BY this means
was obtained very distinct photo
graphic traces and the consistency was
remarked for the different letters

Bucharest Electric Tramwav.
The electric tramway in Budapest
has now been working for more than
three years. AS overhead wires were
not permitted, the underground con-
ductor was necessarily employed. The
boilers used at the generating station
are OF the water tube type. These
are FIVE in number and furnish power
for three compound condensing engines
or 100 horsepower each, driving, by.
means OF ropes, one dynamo, while
two 200 horse power engines are each
coupled directly to a dynamo. The
| current is furnished at q tension OF
800 volts. The cars have two axles
and q single motor.

A Sixteen Story Building With
Aluminium Fronts. &

~ otHC6en oCOTy 6ullQlnS with
Aluminium Fronts.
A sixteen story building in itself
no longer a great novelty in Chicago,
but one which is shortly to be erected
at the corner of State and Madison
streets in that enterprising city has
some unusal features. Instead OF the
ordinary brick or terra-cotta facing,
aluminium plates are to be used on
both fronts of the edifce. The build
ing itself is of the usual fre-proof con-
struction, with iron columns; but the
facade between the windows is to con-
sist Of cast aluminium plates, SIG Of
on inch thick, which are to be held in
place by strips by the same metal.
The plates will be SO inches by 20
inches, and the clinch-pieces are
to be about inches wide
and fastened to angle-irons at
tached to the window castings. The
space at back OF the plates, between
them and columns, is to be filled in
with fre-proof material, and the small
openings behind the holding strips
with Portland cement. The compo-
sition OF the plates and strips is to be
80 per cent. of aluminium and 10
per cent. OF copper. Another feature
of this immense structure is the size
Of the windows, some OF which are
% feet across. A bylaw recently
passed in Chicago prohibits the cree
ton Of buildings with more than
twelve stories, but it does not limit
the actual height in feet. The alumni
ium, fronted edifice is to be construct
ed under a special permit granted
prior to the PRONUNCIATION Of this or
dinance, and it will therefore have the
projected sixteen foors.-Iron.

electricity as a Cure For Con
sumption.
Since, in medical matters, we should
nave no prejudices and should APP
prove Of any means whereby patient
can be relieved, especially in COM
plant like pulmonary consumption, /
do not hesitate to call attention to
the success which a Russian physician
claims to have obtained by treating
tuberculosis with electricity.
The case ofconsumption in which M.
soupinsky used electricity was that Of
q woman % years Of age, who show
ed signs OF tuberculous inGltration
of both apices, with effusion in the
right pleural cavity. The patient had
had h@moptysis, profuse perspiration
and had lost weight. The applica-
lions Of whisky were made each day,
lasting 10 minutes, by means OF
sponge electrodes dipped in salt water
and applied to the chest, and two
weeks after the beginning Of this treat
ment the patients condition was
manifestily improved. Coughing OPP
preston and night sweat had dimin-
ished, sleep and appetite had return
ed. At the end OF 2 month the liquid
in the pleural cavity had also dimin-
ished considerably, and after three
months treatment had completely
disappeared. At that time the pa
tient had gained flesh, ate and slept
we'll, had no more oppression or night
sweats, and the rales which formerly
had been heard in either lung had dis
appeared, only leaving a little rough
breathing. Two. years and half
later M. Soupinsky saw the patient
and found her in excellent condition.

Wolves in Russia.
London Daily NetCs

In many of the southwestern districts of
Russia the wolves are this season showing I'M
usual temerity in raidiug sheepfolds and at
lacking not only horses and cattle, but stray
wayfarsrs along the highways and byepaths
trayersIng or skirting the forests. A few days
ago peasant on foot and sieYemaker, driv-
ing a single horse tarantass, were toward night
fall approaching the village of PIANO, near
Dubno, when they were startled by the chase
cry of wolf pack in their rear. The peasant
fed, and reached the village in safety. The
horse and tarantass, which had been some little
distance behind the peasant, dashed into the
village a few minutes later, but without their
owner. The next morning the poor sieve
makers bones were found scattered about the
spot where he had been attacked and dragged
from the vehicle by his rayenous pnrsuers,
while the unfortunate mans head was discov-
cred. in a Observation-Disclosures condition,
nearly half mile away.

A New Version of an Old Story.
IMil,cGukee Wisconsin.

The present Columbian times have recalled to
memory the biography of Christopher Columbus
as it was written by a schoolboy in the Mid
lands. England, 90 years ago. The master told
the boys to write each short essay on the
great navigator, and the following is the only
one that has withstood the rayages of the tooth
of time. We give it complete:
columbus was man who could make an
egg stand on end without breaking it. The
King of Spain said to Columbus:
"'Can you discover American
ayes said Columbus, if you give me a
ship
"He had ship and sailed over the sea in
the direction where he thought America ought
to be found. The sailors quarreled, and said
they believed there was no such place, but after
many days the pilot called to him and said:
Columbus, / see land
"'Then that is America said Columbus.
"When the ship got near the land was full
of black men. Columbus said:
"'Is this America2'
ayes it is said they.
al suppose you are the niggers?'
ayes they said, we are and the Chief
said, . suppose you are Columbus?'
"You're right said he.
"Then the Chief turned to his men and said:
There is no help for it. We are discovered at

pyramids where he was captured by the
Turks. He lived with the Turks for several
years, when he was stolen by the Jews. He
says that he lived in Jerusalem until short
time after his reputed father was banished to
