HISTORIC RELICS.
A Rare end Valuable Collection
for tho Worlds Fair.
Personal Property of tho First Presidents
of the United States and the
Belongings of IIIustrt-
GUS Men.

The objects of historical value and
interest which will be shown at the
worlds fair will be legion. 1t is said
that the collection will be ten times as

in one place before. The Columbus

Der, and will include the majority of
the important portable reminders of the
famous explorer. They will be brought

Indies, and other widely separated
parts of the earth. Every department,
almost, of the great exposition will
have its relics on view-old records, por-
traits, machines, models, inventions,
etc., each having historical interest, or
marking stage of progress in its own
line. Particularly numerous will be
these historical exhibits from the United
States. Almost every state will con-
tribute to the number something which
will be viewed with interest because of
its history or associations. One of the
best contributions will be shown
by Pennsylvania, the collection be-
ing furnished mainly from Phila-
committee of the city council. Among
the objects in this collection are the
following: The chair occupied by
Thomas Jefferson when writing the
declaration of independence; the table

The Jalisco Pacific Railway Company,
which was recently organized in Mex
leo with a capital of SO, lea, 200 to build
the extension of the Manzanillo Sc Co.
lima railway from the latter point to
Guadalajara, will continue the line to
two points on the Mexican National
railway. The portion of the line now
in operation, which is owned by the
Mexican National Construction Com
pany, has proved eminently successful.
The distance from Manzanillo to Quad
alajara is 225 miles, and there are al
ready SO miles of railroad in operation,
leaving 166 miles to be built
Guadalajara, with a population of
about $4,000, was formally one OF the
most prosperous trade centers of the re-
public, and the best-informed business
men of the city believe that the compile
ton of the railway to the Pacific ocean
will restore it's old-time commercial i'm
portance. With the completion of the
Jalisco-Pacific to Guadalajara, it will
be possible to cross Mexico by rail from
Tampico or Vera Cruz.

AN OLD DUELING PISTOL.
1t Has Seen -Four Centuries of Service
and Is Still In Good Condition.

1t Has Seen -Four Centuries of Service
and Is Still In Good Condition.
Maj. Moore has among his collection
OF curios a dueling pistol which was
brought to this country from England
by one of the earliest settlers of Vir-
ginia, says the New York Journal. The
weapon, which is fint-lock, is fully
four hundred years old and is still in
good condition and if capped with
bit of flint and loaded could be fred.
The pistol has brass barrel, which
unscrews about an inch from the flash
pan. To load it the barrel is I'M
screwed, the powder poured in and
rammed down. The barrel is then re-
placed and the bullet, about three
times as large as buckshot, is dropped
in. The sight is on the side of the
barrel, about midway between the trig-
ger and the muzzle. Instead of sight
ing over point on the extreme top of
the barrel, as one does when handling
modern revolver, the old pistol was
held SO that the sight was taken over
the knuclxles of the person using it.
The pistol was manufactured in Lon
don and was brought to this country by
man named Mason, who was related
to Lord Fairfax. 1t remained in the
Mason family until 1879, when it was
given to an old fisherman by Miss
Mason, granddaughter of the man
who brought it over from old England.
The old fisherman gave it away and it
finally foun its way into the hands of
one Detective Raft, who presented it to
Maj. Moore.
The descendants of the original pos
SCISSOR, Mr.. Mason, still reside on the
farm on which he settled some three
hundred years ago in King George
county, Va. How many affairs of
ilonor this ''lingcring etel ity'' of a
lbarbarous custom has figured in is not
known by its present owner, its history
having been lost in the recent rapid
changes of ownership.

LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE WORLD
1t Will Be Over Twelve Miles, Through
thn fofn

1t Will Be Over Twelve Miles, Through
the Simplon Mountain.
The longest tunnel in the world will
be that now to be constructed through
the Simplon. According to the final
plans adopted it will have a length of
1875 miles, or 81 miles more than the
st. Gothard tunnel. The northern
mouth will be situated about $500
yards south of Brieg, at the little vii
lage of I'm Raft, and the southern GOO
yards beyond Ivelle, just below the
present wall gallery. About onc-half
of the tunnel facing north will have an
incline of Is per 1000 yards, just sutfi-
cicnt to cause the water to run off,
while the southern portions will have
an incline of 6.5 per 1000 yards. The
process of boring will be the same as
that followed with the Arlberg tunnel.
Workshops and depots are to be estab-
lshed on the right bank of the Rhone,
close to the northern entrance, at cost
of 1000, 900 francs. The power of work
ing is estimated at 1,450 horsepower
viz: $50 for boring purposes, $50 for
ventilation and 266 for electric light
ing, etc.. e., at the end of the tunnel

Massa is to be damned in At the
southern side similar station is to be
established, which is calculated to cost
100000 francs and to furnish 2,760
horsepower, derived from damming up
the river Cairasca. The total cost of
the remaining works is estimated at
100000 francs, of which 100000
francs are contributed by the various
states interested in the scheme. In
order to facilitate the undertaking,
track is to be laid on the road between
Dornodossala and Iselle, while IN the
borings are to be used Brandts rotary
boring machines. 1t is calculated that
the work will occupy eight years and

ZINC New IsIet In the casnian saa

The daily papers of Tihis, in Trans
caucasian Russia, say that the reports
OF meteoric stone of immense size hav-
ing falling into the Caspian sea, Just
east OF the peninsula of Apoheron, on
which the oil city of Baker is located,
were erroneous. The truth is, says the
paper, that a new island was formed in
that SPOT in the sea, but it did not fall
down from heaven, but is the result of
a volcanic eruption on the bottom of
the sea which threw up the material
that now constitutes the islet. In the
east OF the new islet the water is still
kept in motion, forming a funnel
shaped whirlpool five feet in diameter
and apparently more than a hundred
feet deep. But it has not yet been as
certained whether the waters engaged
IN the movement disappear in the
Fround through the hole or are merely
revolving,

| Guided Two $500 Bills.
Charles W. Duntz lives on the Land
| ing road, Undertook, N. Y, near the
Halfway house One morning recently,
while his wife was engaged in cleaning
portrait that had been in their oosses-
sion more than a quarter of century
she accidentally broke through the
cover on the back and saw underneath
it piece of paper. She pulled it out
and found that it was an old two-dollar
bill. She called her sons attention to
it and the lad took the cover off. I'm
derneath it they found two fve-hundred-
dollar bills issued by bank in Massa-
chusettS, one in 1856, the other in 1861.
During the day Mr.. Duntz took the bills
to the Union bank and learned that the
bank of issuance was still in existence,
and that the bills were probably genu-
inc and worth their face value. Mr..
Reynolds, teller of the bank, communi-
Gated with the Massachusetts, bank peo-
pie and learned that it had five-hundred-
dollar bills of the old state issue still
out and was ready to redeem them if
they were genuine. About twenty-eight
years ago, says Rough Notes, this pic
ture was sent to Mr.. Duntz by wealthy
relative, who requested that it should
be carefully kept in the family, the por-
trait being that of a daughter who is
still living Mr.. Duntz thinks that the
donor placed the money where it was
found, expecting that it would be dis
covered some day when it would be of
some real benefit to the finder She was
very peculiar in her ways at all times.

The shah's FavorIte Boy.

When the shah of Persia was touring
through Europe three years ago he was
accompanied everywhere and at all
times by little boy, who was gorgeous

as he pleased. The boy was not mem
Der of the imperial family, but just
fortunate youngster for whom the shah
had taken an unaccountable liking. A
report has come from Teheran that the
boy was playing with a revolver in the
royal camp near Burnjord recently,
and, as usual, very close to the shah.
when the weapon accidentally went off
and the shah had the narrowest kind of
escape from sudden death. The boy
has been sent away now.
