indicative Of character, each individual
hat is nor or less an index to the ma
ture of the mar IL covers. Shabby gem
tility has nothing so characteristic as
its old silk hat There is always an UNI
natural calmness about its nap and an
unwholesome gloss suggestive of a wet
brush. The waning strength of decay
ing fortune is expended in smoothing
its dilapidated surface. II is the last
Pickering ray of respectability. There
is no mistaking the old silk hat that is
being worn by the man who did not
buy it originally. 1t may be much
scuffed and sadly out of shape still it
has about it a suggestion of better
times and surroundings that make it
appear out Of harmony with the rest Of
the wearer's apparel. It is an odd piece
of furniture and it knows that the world
knows it.
The nice new glossy silk hat is a
thing of beauty and, alas, a JOY for a
very short time. All of earth, animate
and inanimate, conspires to destroy the
comeliness of it's shine and shape. Hence
a fine new hat Of that style indicates
that it's owner had cash until quite re-
Gently, that his credit is good, or that
he may have visited some public place
and secured the new hat by mistake,
leaving in its stead one not nearly SO
good nor resembling it in the slightest
particular. And so, on the whole, you
can't tell whether or not the wearer Of
a nice silk hat is a better man honestly
than is the tramp who is wearing the
remnant of a tile he fished out of
garbage box. AS has been before said
a great deal can be told by the way il
which men wear hats, and the style O
hats they wear if n only knows how
to tell it,-Chicapo Tribune.

QUEER S
Beds Covering Hundreds of Square Miles
Found In Colorado.

superintendent w. G. Hart, of the
northern division of the Colorado worlds
fair mineral department, recently re-
turned from a trip in the northwestern
part of the state. During his absence,
says the Rocky Mountain News, Mr..
Hart made Investigations leading to one
of the most remarkable geological dis
coveries ever known in the west. Vast
fish beds, covering hundreds of square
miles in northwestern Colorado, are
brought to light and cannot fail to
awaken a great interest in scientific
circles. The beds, so far as traced by
Mr.. Hart, extend a distance of one hum
bred and fifty miles in the region of the
Green river country and when traced to
points more than one hundred miles
toward the interior of the state. Scien-
fists have known of the existence of
primeval deposits of fish in Wyoming,
but for the first time a discovery of a
similar character is reported in this
state. The beds are one hundred and
fifty to two hundred feet thick. To the
ordinary observer their origin would
remain forever a mystery.
How untold millions of fish could be
piled in distinct layers over a large area
of country which is now five thousand
to ten thousand feet above sea level is a
problem which might stagger the most
profound geologist. After careful In
vestigation Mr.. Hart has arrived at a
theory which at least appears plausible.
According to his theory, there was a
time when the region of the fish de-
posits formed the shore of a salt water
ocean. AS the tides swept the waters
against the rocky shores, marshes were
formed on the opposite side of the rocky
barrier. The tides surged against the
barrier with such force as to throw the
fish into the shallow waters. Owing to
the heated temperature of the air, the
water in the marshes ~evaporated before
the tide again returned, leaving the fish
TO expire In the mud
The next flow brought a new supply
of fish, and after many centuries the beds
of to-day were formed The deposit O
each return of the tide is distinctly
marked In the cliffs and on the sides o.
the canyons of the mountain streams
The deposit was raised to it's present
elevation by the same hidden forces
which formed the mountains

dispatch over to two other men, who
without delay, bore it on to the next
stage on its long journey to New York.
All who are to help speed the dis
patches are now at their posts along
the route, and there will be no delay in
passing the dispatches from one party to
another. About 80 well-known riders
will take part in the work. They are
all riders with fine records.
The heavy rains have played havoc
with some of the finest roads and fast
time is therefore not expected. With
good roads and no obstacles to meet it
is calculated the run will be made by
relay riders in from five to seven days.
The relay ride is made to test the
value of the bicycle for military pur-
poses. Gen. Miles is deeply interested
in the experiment, and Is inclined to be-
lieve that the bicycles will eventually
become a factor in military movements.
In discussing the question to-day, the
General said:
1.-THE great advantage to an army
equipped with bicycles would be its
ability to reach stragetic points before
the enemy, The army that gets there
first has the battle half won already. 1t
has been found that a soldier car carry
lis gun On his WHICH, Anu Oil nlb eQulp-
ment without much distress and go
along at a very good rate. The fact is
that experiments have been made with
the bicycle in almost every army except
that Of the United States. They have
done very well in Germany, France,
Austria, England and Russia, and Off
GERS are apparently satisfied that the BIZ
cycle may be Of great use"
The last division between Albany and
New York, a distance of 1873 miles, is to

famous Western rider, N. II. Van Sick
len, who will make the start from Chi
cago, riding to Kensington, and will
then take the train to New York city,
where he will come in over the course OF
the last ten miles to the headquarters in
Harlem. Ten of the men who are to ride
in the last division have been chosen
from Albany cycling clubs.

The triangular Race Abandoned.

ITHACA, N. Y, May 1s.-The expected
triangular race on Cayuga Lake, be-
tween the crews of the Columbia and
Cornell Colleges and the University of
Pennsylvania, has been abandoned on
account of the impossibility of arranging
a date that would suit all of the crews.
Instead of the three cornered event,
however, there will be a race between
the Columbia and Cornell Freshmen's
Fights on the 9Th of June, and another
between the Freshman's Fights of the
University of Pennsylvania and the
Fights of the Cornell college on June
18th. Both races will be rowed here.

CHICAGO, May 19. -To-day at noon,
from the main door of the Pullman
building two men started away on well
oiled bicycles, turned south into Michi-
gan avenue and scudded away for dear
life on the smooth boulevard. They
rode as no man ever rode before on that
street, for they carried an important
dispatch to Gen. Howard Of the United
States army, at New York. The mes
age was delivered to them by Gen. Nell
son A. Miles, Commander of the Depart
ment of the Missouri. This was the be-
ginning of the great relay ride from
Chicago TO New York.
The men who received the dispatch
from Gen. Miles are Lumsden and Bode,
two OF the best known wheelmen in
America. They "scorched'' the distance

The use Of electricity for elevator work
has already led to various notifications
in the same line Of work. Not only Is
it the intention Of the largest elevator
syndicate In this country to run all
elevators constructed BY it in the future
electrically, but q leading manufacturer
of cranes for heavy lifting has decided
to rely exclusively on the same agency
for its motive power. A proposal for .
kindred application has been made in
Russia, where 1t Is intended to use
electric motors instead Of locomotives
for shunting. Il is suggested that the
use Of electric windlasses be resorted to
between the tracks. so that several may
be used simultaneously to move . heavy
train. while one would be sufficiently
powerful for few carriages.
It Is advised that motor with gears
engaging rack alongside Of the metals
be used, but this proposal is only made
feasible by the fact that the distance
travelled by shunting locomotive il
very small, and therefore the cost Of
Transmission is of little importance CON-
pared with facility for rapid move
ment on zig gag tracks. There is
no doubt that the replacement Of steam
windlasses by those operated electrically
win become general as soon as electric
power becomes easily available. - st.

To see Yourself Talk.

An announcement was made some
time ago that Frenchman had sue
seeded in taking instantaneous photo
graphs Of the lips Of q speaker and in re-
combining them in kind Of zoetrope, so
as to produce the original movement and
enable deaf mute to understand what
was said.
It is now stated that the inventor has
improved on the process and brought
out u new apparatus for combining the
images. the device being termed the
phonoscope. The changes of the lips in
speaking are so rapid that fifteen photo
graphs asecond are required to give a
good result. The whole head and bust
Of the speaker are reproduced in the
photograph SO as to get the benefit of the
expression.
In the phonoscope the positives are ar
ranged around the periphery of disk
which is rapidly turned by handle. A
second disk. having a single window in
it opposite the plates. is also rotated by
the same handle. but at much higher
rate Of speed than the other. A beam
Of sunlight Eliminates the plates from
behind and the observer looking into the
apparatus sees them pass his eye one
after the other in such rapid succession
As to produce the effect Of single
image endowed with animation, To
produce this result it is necessary that
at least ten or twelve must pass the
