W. II. WAoHTER OF Chicago has designed a
giant wheel for the amusement OF visitors to
the worlds fair. The wheel is to be 800 fe, Z
high, revolving between two powerful tressed
towers, $50 feet from the ground. There are to
be forty-two spokes In this giant wheel and
twelve OF them will carry baskets beautifully
upholstered, providing room for four adults,
swinging easily from pivot so as always to
be upright and contain a table and other com
forts. Forty-two spokes will be emblazoned
With the arms Of the states. The various com
partments will be furnished each after the
characteristic manner OF some nation. There
will be a Chinese compartment and a Turkish
one and Moorish one and so on. AS eaca
party reaches the top OF the wheel 1t will be
given fifteen minutes to enjoy the view. the
wheel will cost $4,000 or $4,000.
The maintenance OF a telegraph line across a
tract Of country Inhabited by savage tribes is
often attended with much difficulty, says
Electricity. When the telegraph was intro
duced frat into Chile stratagem was resorted
to guard the posts and wires against damage
on the part OF the Indians. There happened to
be at that time in the Chilean camp a number
q Indian prisoners. Calling them together,
the general In command pointed TO the wires and
said: Look well on those wires, and remember
my warniRg. II you ever go near or touch them,
your hands will be- held. and you will be- unable
to get away" The Indians smiled incredu-
ously. The general then filed them up before a
powerful 6lCGCrlC battery anu maze eaCl one
succession take hold Of the electrodes. In each
case he commanded the Indian to let 20 the
wire, and each time tia Indian racked with fear
as much as the strength Of tho current, would
cry: 81 cannot, my hands are benumbed." Not
one after they were restored to liberty, with
the solemn Injunction to keep the secret ami
not betray it to their eouutrymen. This had
the desired effect; the experience was related
in tho striotest confidence to every man in the
tribe. and the telegraph has ever since re-
NAMED unmolested.
For some time past random reports have ap-
peared OF q strange condition OF things at the
French town of La Rochen, where the in

and uncertainty watching their houses fall In
aud their worldly possessions buried in the

some terrible mystery when one night, during
q modest banquet at the home of the cure the
upper stories OF the building suddenly gave and
not only ruined the French dishes of the
hostess. but covered the guests with choking
cloud of plaster Before the establishment that
had paralyZed the entire neighborhood was
overcome another house feh in with precisely
the same symptoms. And so it continued, ons
house after another would give way and dis
appear. 1t has now been discovered what mas
caused all this destruction, and 1t is no greater
object than diminutive Whit ant which has
invaded the place in multtudes and confined
its attacks 20 the beams or the houses. These
were eaton entirely through. The prefecture
has ordered the people to Immediately have al,
the wooden beams torn out of their property,
and substitute those OF iron.
WHILE writer for the New York Press
was talking recently with DR.. @. B. Emerson,
who has had a very large experience in the
treatment of lunacy, he made the remarkable
statement that he would risk his arm In the jaw
of a mad dog rather than be bitten by person
afflicted with lunatc disorders. He explained
his meaning about as follows: "The bite OF
mad dog can be cauterized and the virus imme-
dately stopped from circulation in the blood by
proper remedies There Is no definite process
of treatm mt, however, for wounds inflicted by
n human maniac. There is undoubtedly virus
10 the madman's saliva which makes his bite
dangerous beyond that OF a mad dog, because 10
has never been analysed to degree where it Is
possible to meet its effects. l myself had an exs
mania Of the violent and vicious type, whom ID
was necessary 70 overcome by physical force,
and VINO, in the Struggle, bit mo slightly on the
teShy portion of he arm. The abrasion was
very siignL barely enough to show the imprint
OF his teeth and caused q small flow of blood
paid lfttle attention to it beyond cleansing it
With warm water and CASTLE soup and putting
piece of sticking plaster over it. In less than
an hours time was reminded of the bite by
sharp pains in my arm, and within couple Of
hours was startled to find, on removing the
plaster, that the prints OF the patients teeth
had become green and festered. Nothing that
could do would stop my arm from swelling,
and IN four or i've hours time It had become at
low physicians and was in perfect agony for
twenty-four hours while they cut away and
cauterized the wound, besides applying other
remedies. It was several weeks before / re-
covered from the virus which went into my
ve1ns."
