Damages for a Lovers Death.

young woman living at Poughksepsie,
n. Y. has brought suit for So, 900 damages
against the New York Central railroad for
the loss of something she never possessed
husband. She was engaged to be mar
ried to young man who was so untortun-
ate as to be killed in a wreck on the road,
which accident, the woman says, lost her
husband. thereby depriving Der Of visible
means of support during her life.
The unfortunate widow, who was never
wife, will have plenty of sympathy in her
suit; but it is hardly likely that she will get
any money out of it. There is law in
New York which fixes the value OF life
lost in a railroad disaster at S., 900, and that
goes to the persons directly dependent upon
the deceased for support
If sentiment was law the court might be
90 wrought upon that it would award the
pre-nuptial widow the amount she demands.
But as statutes, not sentiment go wish
the courts In these days, it is extremely I'M
likely that any amount will be awarded her

never supported her, why should not the

The Harvesting of Niagara Fails.


The greatest hydraulic engineering feat
ever attempted will be accomplished during
July. 1898, it IL thought, at which time It is
proposed 70 put Niagara falls TO work at
spinning. weaving and making itself gen
orally useful II has been the dream Of
engineers for years to utilize at least a small
part of the enormous power going to waste
over the brink Of the catar act; at last that
dream is 10 be realized.
An immense tunnel with its mouth Just a
little above the lower level of the river has
been driven back into the bank parallel
With the upper river on the American side
to a distance Of several thousand feet.
From this tunnel great shafts IS feet in
diameter pierce the earth 100 feet peFpen-
dicularly to the upper level Of the river.
The shafts are connected with the water
above by q canal; and thus. with the neces-
sary gates, fumes, wheels and other tech
nical apparatus. has the problem of hAr-
Messing Niagara been solved. 1t puzzled
the engineering world q long time, yet the
solution is easily understood aud must 10
engineers, appear very simple.
The work has been a stupendous one,
however. More than $4,000. 900 has been
the money cost Of the work up to date,
while several lives have also been sacrificed
TO 1t during the two years since ID was begun.
II is anticipated that almost as much more
money will be needed to complete the work.
When IL is finished il 10 estimated that the
gigantic sum total of $4,000 horsepower
will have been made available. The largest
and most powerful turbine wheels In
the world will be used 20 gather the
power, which will not only be utilized
near at hand, but transmitted IN the shape
of electrical energy to factories many miles
distant Each of the great wheels. oper-
sting in the 16O-foot shafts will be of 8, 600
horsepower. Heretofore the highest horse
power ever developed by a water wheel is
2,OO0.
It's believed that the Development Of this
stupendous water-power will make the
vicinity Of Niagara Falls one Of the manu-
featuring centsrs Of the country. The
works on the American side are to be dupli-
GATED on the Canadian side In the near
future.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

IT IS q fact well established bV students Of
heredity, says the New York Sun, that children
are apt to inherit not only the physical mental
and moral traits Of their parents but to he in
huenced by their age as we'll. Children born of
very young fathers and mothers never attain
so vigorous a growth of mind or body as those
of older men and women, while children of old
people are born old. One of the most surpris-
ing cases in medical history is that of Mar
guerite Cribsowa, who died in 1873 aged los
years. When 81 she was married to a man aged
lO5. Three children came Of this union but
they had gray hair, no teeth, we're stopped, vel.
low and wrinkled, decrepit in movement and
could eat only bread and vegetables.
1t is said that small instrument has been in.
vented by which an orange may be neatly peeled
without soilinR the hands. This good result
can be readily obtained without ANYTHING spe.
cial if one only knows how, says Meehan's
Monthly. The fibres of plants, including the
hbres of oranges, all fork from the bottom rp-
ward, and it is the attempt to split anything
against the grain which makes splitting diff
cult. II one wants to peel an orange without
soling his hands, al that IS necessary to be
done is 20 cut with knife a very small circle
around the stem end, and then mark dividing
lines from the stem to the summit-at points on
the SUR ace of the orange. The skin can then
be drawn off just as easily one may draw a
finger from glove. This suggestion may not
only apply to the peeling of an orange, but also
TO the splitting of stick Those who make
hoops for barrels split tine top In order to make
or slender portion of the pole and split down
ward. They could not do this, but by taxing the
thicker end and working from the thick to the
thin no trouble is found-the pole splits easily.
TIE census returns give q very interesting
picture Of the relative density of population in
the great cities Of this country and abroad.
says q writer In the Washington Star. Taking
the average, Chicago has only thirteen inhabi,
tants TO each acre OF ground People are much
more crowded in New York, ninety-four OF
them being packed into each acre. But In Paris
there are 1874 persons TO each acre. and Berlin
stands at the head Of the list of European cities
with 256 individuals per acre It seems rather
curious that New York averages eighteen peop-
pie for each dwelling, whereas London figures
out only eight persons for each house.
This is because London is very much
spread out and most Of the dwellings are
small In Paris, where the houses are mostly
big and the people live In fats the average Is
twenty-seven for each house, and in Berlin, for
like reason, It is hfty-one No other city in
this country has so large graveyard area as
New York, its thirty-nin cemeteries containing

The Likeness of Criminals.

A curious story is told by the Newcastle
(England) Leader in Illustration Of the likeness
Of criminals. At London olub frequented by
men of acknowledged intellect the editor OF a
metropolitan newspaper produced a photo
graph and handed IL to an eminent physician
who was sitting on his left, asking him what he
thought of the man it represented, and IL he
photograph for a minute, the physician replied
that it represented man OF deeply criminal
character, and was probably Deeming. The
photograph was then sent down TO the other end
of the table to an eminent sculptor, recently de
ceased, who was asked if he could guess who Il
was, and who. knowing nothing Of the physi-
clans guess, at once exclaimed, 40, it's Deem
ing" Afterward the photograph was passed on
to an eminent Q. c., who, while Ignorant of the
verdicts Of the physician and sculptor, said.
after careful inspection of it, II am inclined
to think it is Deeming." The photograph was
really portrait of Dr. Neill Cream.
