COLUMBUS RELICS.

Proposed Reproduction of the Convent
 La Rabida at the Exposition.
 The worlds fair directory is recom- mended by its foreign affairs commit tee to appropriate fifty thousand dollars for the purpose of building at Jackson park fac simile of the ancient convent of La Rabida, of Palos, Spain. It is be- Iieved that this would be the most ap- propriate structure possible in which to exhibit the large number of relies of Columbus which is being collected. If the project is carried out, as it seems probable it will be, this building and it's contents will doubtless be one of the exhibition attractions which no visitor will be content to leave without seeing.
 It was at the door of the convent of La Rabida that Columbus, disappointed and downhearted, asked for food and shelter for himself and his child. Itwas here that he found an asylum for few years while he developed his plans and prepared the arguments which he sub- mitted to the council at Salamanca. It was in one of the rooms of this convent that he met the Dominican monks in debate, and it was here also that he conferred with Alonzo Pinzo, who afterwards commanded one of the ves- sels of his fleet. In this convent Colum- bus lived while he was making prep arations for his voyage, and on the morning that he sailed from Palos he attended himself the little chapel. There is no building in the world so closely identified with his discovery as tEis, and fortunately its architecture is of such character as to permit of re- production at comparatively small cost, and at the same time furnish a picturesque view and appropriate group among the splendid buildings that will be erected at Jackson park. It will not only be of itseE a monument to Coium- 'Jus. but it will furnish commodious and convenient show rooms for the collec- ions and relics of Columbus that are to oe exhibited. Besides large collection of maps, manuscripts, books and pie lures that are being secured there will be among them public and private col loctions both from Europe and the United States. Many of the articles be- ing of great value, it is proposed to bring them all together in this build ing, where they will be secure from fire and all other dangers.

An Enterprising Miss.

A bright Maine girl, who, several years ago, at the age of twelve, was left to care for herself, determined that she would not only support herself, but would have as good an education as the country afforded. She went out doing homework and saved enough money to fit herself for Wellesley college. Here she took a special two-years' course, was given scholarship and swept rooms and helped clean house during vacation for spending money. Then she obtained position as teacher in an evening school in Boston, and did micro scopic and other work to defray her eX- penses in the medical school in Boston university. After completing her studies she borrowed money and went to study in the hospitals of Paris and Vienna. Since her return she has set tied in Los Angeles, where she has a large practice in the city of invalids and has been able to pay all her debts. What girl cannot succeed in making her way if she is willing to work for it as this girl has?

TALKS WITH MONKEYS.
A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed to
 Have Mastered the Simian Lingo.

 A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed to
 Have Mastered the Simian Lingo.
 A mysterious individual haunts Wood wards gardens to whom is attributed the gift of conveEsing with monkeys in their own language. He is little old man. says the San Francisco Examiner, who has seen about three score years and ten, but as he is always alone and speaks to no one very little is known about him. For nearly year past the old gentleman has daily visited that former popular resort, deposits the en- trance fee, and as quickly as his feeble strength will allow, and with eagerness depicted on his scanned and weather beaten countenance, proceeds at once to the monkey cage.
 The monkeys recognize him and set up chattering and bowling that would grate on a sensitive persons nerves. but the old man does not mind 1t a bit. lie enjoys it and beams on the quadrumana that make every effort to reach him through the iron bars, with an eXpres- sion that would lead one to think that his soul was wrapped up in them.
 Finally the noise subsidies and the old man gazes into a dozen comical expec- tant faces pressed against the bars, with twenty-four pairs of bright eyes .ooking at him, and utters few gut Iral sounds that astonish and please ,he monkeys. He perfectly initiates the sounds of most of them, and all ar .anre themselves in semicircle and with great seriousness listen to all he las to say. Sometimes his tone is ser ous, when all the monkeys put on very abiect expression and look as sor- -owful as a monkey can. Then again when the tones are different, the monkeys will dance about with every evidence of delight, and all begin to iabber at once, until the old man points his finger at one of the largest. All remain silent while he seemingly carries on a conversation with one of the older ones, initiating all of the grimaces and actions of monkey as we'll as any human being could.
 Sometimes the conversation lasts an hour or more, when the little man bids his friends adieu until the morrow.
 It is said by some that the little man was once a sea captain, whose crew were murdered by the natives on the coast of Brazil, and he made his escape to the forests of the interior with no companions but the monkeys for many months, and subsisted entirely on the wild fruits and other food berries that he could gather. It is supposed that he obtained some knowledge of their method of communication during the months of his enforced residence in the wilderness that enable him to en- gage the attention of the monkeys at Woodward's gardens.
 When accosted the old man will not reply, and his mysterious behavior is a source of much comment.

The NVorld's-Eair City.

It is said on good authority that there appeared recently in news paper in Nantes, France, the fol- lowing description of Chicago: ''It is situated at the foot of the falls ct Niagara and receives the waters of the great lakes. In no part of Europe will you find so great city. Its boulevards are regular and as straight as its streets, which seem to have been ruled with a straight edge and in it all rail roads have termini. One is almost frightened by the height of buildings, in which all styles of architecture meet without confusion. About sixteen years ago we first visited the falls of Niagara ard our first stop was naturally at Chi ,ago. Excellent hotels, very attractive people were there, and as we took a 'apid walk along the banks of the father of waters we were obliged con- ilually to avoid meeting the descend ayts of the companion of St. Anthony .pirsl. Now these noisy animals have their own quarter, where they are sold' and they longer by their squeals dis tur5 she public peace"

ENGRAVING wTH DYNAMITE.
Figures Reproduced on Iron by Firing the
 Explosive Above Them.

Figslres Reproduced on Iron by Firing the
 Explosive Above Them.
 Among the many new uses to which gunpowder and other high explosives have been applied recently is that Of engraving. By means of the force gen. erated by the detonation of these arti- cles the lines of delicate leaves, grass aEd insects have been impressed on the surface of the hardest iron procurable in the space of half a second. By old processes, says the New York Herald, hours were consumed where machinery was used and any attempt was made to. secure artistic results, and days where manufacturers resorted to hand work.
 Many recent experiments have been made, mostly by officers of the army and navy, which have demonstrated the efficiency of the methods.
 At Newport few weeks ago heavy charge of dynamite was exploded by several officers who were delegated by the government to test new method of electricity in fuses.
 Somehow a small dried leaf without the knowledge of the officers had slipped in between the dynamite cart ridge and the iron block from which the charge had been fired.
 When the experiment had been con- pleted the officers were surprised to find the perfect imprint of a leaf in the iron. The most delicate lines were repro duced with startling distinctness.
 A series of experiments, which were attended with remarkable results, fol lowed.
 One of the officers who made the first experiments is now in the city, and he gave me an account of his discoveries when I saw him at an uptown hotel the other night.
 s'I was rather surprised to find that it was possible to reproduce the outlines of perishable articles upon the surface of iron by means of explosives" said he, ''and was at first sceptical, although 1 had often heard that a candle could be fired though an oak plank.
 ''When we found the imprint of the leaf we made several similar tests.
 ''They took place at the torpedo sta tion in Newport. We placed several leaves and flowers between two plates of boiler iron and then fired moderate charge of dynamite on the upper plate.
 '"The exact outlines with even the veins in the petals of the flowers were reproduced in the hard metal.
 ''Other and more extended experi- ments were attended with similar re- suits.
 ''Anether singular fact is that when exploded under water the imprints are much finer than those produced in the open air. Frequently when a wad of gun cotton is exploded beneath the sur face of the water the explosive will sink into the iron foundation so deep that the sunken words and figures will be reproduced in raised characters on the iron"
 Several manufacturers have followed the example set by the officers and some day probably dynamite will be put 1T practical use as an engraver.

Survival of the Fittest.

The Chinese are queer people, and do not believe Americans will ever understand them. Since Tom Glenn was fooled by that fellow in California I do not believe everything hear about the Chinese; but still we hear queer things about them all the time. l heard some western men talking short while ago about them, says writer in the Atlanta Constitution. Did you ever see lame Chinaman?" said man from Deadwood. They all answered no. ''Well, I'll tell you why. When a Chinaman gets hurt or loses limb, they kill him. It is part of their re- ligion. know Chinaman who was hurt while blasting rock on a railroad in Idaho. His hand was blown off. The doctor fixed it and said it was all right. We missed the wounded China man few days aftorward, and inquired of some of his friends, and were in- formed that he was dead. Died of the wound?' we asked. 'No,' said the Chinaman, 'drinkee tea-killee him. '" Did you ever see lame Chinaman? -za

CrematIonist Fad.

According to the Jewellers Review the latest craze is to order ones crema- ton urn and use it as an ornament till it should happen to be wanted. All the large china shops confess to having had several orders lately, while silversmiths have been equally favored. An en- thusiastic ''cremationist' has Q couple of delightful little old silver urns which ornament his sideboard, and should any guest happen to admire they are told that those are for their hosts ashes, which are to be divided and sent to two valued friends in these fascinating little eases. ---------------

HORSES IN SPECTAcLES.
The Queer Sight Recently Witnessed fir
 MoraYil.

 The Queer Sight Recently Witnessed fir
 Morayil.
 One of the curious effects of the unwonted cold weather in Europe dur. ing the past winter was observed in Austrian Moravia, where the inhabit- ants are said to be very fond of their horses, and humanely inclined toward them.
 For many weeks, says Youths Con- panion, the ground was covered with a thick coating of snow. As this was un- usual, and the people found that their own eyes were unpleasantly affected by the intense whiteness of the snow, it occurred to them that their horses must be affected in the same way, and needed protection for their eyes.
 The farmers, therefore, procured quantities of goggles and spectacles with black, blue or green glass, which they tied over their horses eyes when ever they went out.
 A market day in Moravia during the prevalence of the great snow is said to have been funny sight. Scores of horses, dragging wagons through the snow, or else improvised sleds and sledges, were seen in the streets, and nearly every horse had on pair of blue or green spectacles.
 White horses were especially comical, and if they possessed a sense of the ridiculous, as some horses are thought to do, perhaps they wished that they were black or chestnut, for on colored horses the glasses were not so conspic- ,1nr1c

A New Explosive,

The new explosive, ecrasite, is the in- vention of two Austrian engineers named Siersch and Rubin. Its power in relation to dynamite is declared to be as 100 to 70, and it can be carried from place to place with perfect safety. It emits thick black smoke, and the detonating noise is louder than that of gunpowder, but shorter, sharper and clearer. A bombshel loaded with it explodes with such terrible results that experiments against palisades repre- senting 100, 25O and 500 men, at ranges of 800, 750 and 1900 meters, recorded marks on every division of the palisade standing for soldier.

CooLLY RODE UP AND DOWN THE LINE.
this brigade was formed for him in the
Fourth Army corps, and his Buckeye lads
were permitted to go along. This deal it
was that took him again to middle Tennes-
see in the stirring wrestle to keep Hood
from carrying the war back to the Ohio
river, while Sherman was off to the sea.
a Both Opdycke and his old regiment were
at home on the new theater. They had
skirmished around Franklin, and captured
and garrisoned the post, when the army
marched south in 1868. Back to Franklin,
only days march from Nashville, the
army of defense hastily retired, Hoods
veterans logging at it's heels-that is, when
they were not harassing at its shoulders
and even its head. Late in the afternoon Of
the 30th of November the brigade saw the
army within the Notifications south Of the
town and went little way back from the
front breastworks to take breathing
spell, which the men had earned by serv-
ing as rear guard on the march that day.
Opdycke had no orders except to rest his
troops. The soldiers were getting ready
their suppers or munching raw rations
when the breastworks they had just
marched by were carried by lightning
rush of the Confederates, who then were
at their heels The men irstinctively
threw down their handfuls of bread and
pork and took up their weapons.
The moment the men in gray were seen
swarning and shooting on the line where
they had no business to be, Opdycke's
commands rang out as calmly and clear,
cut as though he had rehearsed them
though surely no such combination of Or
ders had ever been called for heretofore.
"First brigade, fall ini Charge bayonetsi
Double quickr, were the words.
Opdycke rushed to do his part, squirting
his horse toward the point and shooting
right and left with his revolver. After
emptying the chambers he dubbed the
weapon, and after breaking the barrel from
the handle on the head of some luckless
grayjacket who had got too far on the
wrong side of the dividing line, he jumped
from his horse and took musket from
some wounded soldier and struck this way
and that until he stood at the works sur
rounded by his men.
1t was not soon over. There were two
or three hours of the hardest, hottest hand
to-hand work ever known on battlefield,
and Gen. Thomas, for whose concern and
glory it all was said to Opdycke,, Your
brigade saved the army at Franklin and
saved Nashville"
And now for the tragic finale Of the bril-
liant soldiers career. Opdycke, became
warm friend of the opulent banker George
Opdyke, New York's war mayor, ana
