A Rubber Pavement.

When was in Germany few years
ago l was shown street pavement that
had been laid which was made of rub
ber It was almost noiseless, and some
went so far as to say that if it proved
successful otherwise it would do away
with vehicle springs. The only objec-
ton made to the pavement was that it
was feared it would be affected by the
change of temperature. | saw man
the other day who had recently arrived
from Germany, and he told me the pave
ment of which have spoken has proved
to be complete success. That it is not
changed by cold or hot weather, and
that it wears well even under the heaviest
teaming.-lnterview in Chicago Tribune

A Uniuue Theater.

A stock company in Vienna is about
to begin building a unique theater in
one OF the recently annexed districts.
The cost is to be $3.50, 900 or $500, 900.
The roof is to be a great rolling iron cur
tain, after the style of iron curtains now
used before shop windows, and on hot
summer nights it is to be drawn aside so
that the audience may be refreshed.
With that arrangement the company
expects to be able to carry out its plan
to give performance every evening in
the year, or 42S performances annually,
including matinees. The theater will
accommodate 5000 persons, and the
highest price for a place outside of the
boxes is to be only forty cents, although
the heaviest classical plays and the
works of the best modern dramatists
are to be produced on its stage.-Archi-

A British omcer's Invention.

Captain Wilson, r. N. Of the torpedo
instruction ship Vernon, has invented
an appliance for cutting through the tor
pedo nets with which modern warships
protect themselves from torpedo attacks.
The experiments already made prove to
the fullest extent the tremendous power
of the new invention. which has fully
realized all its originator claimed for it.
The inventor OF the torpedo net ridiculed
the idea of any instrument being able to
cut through his tough steel wire net
ting. But the trial just made has proved
the emptiness Of his boast.
The great momentum of the White
head torpedo, armed with Captain Will
sons new torpedo cutters, enabled it to
cut its way through any torpedo net,
even when the latter was set an angle of
As degs., without apparent retardation
of its fight. The cutter consists Of
blades arranged scissor fashion, which
sever the wire meshes of the net, max
ing an aperture sufficient for the en-
trance of the torpedo.-Electricity.

person has hit upon a scheme for max
ing artificial clouds for the warming of
fields and preventing damage to crops.
A number Of stoves had been placed ten
yards apart around the spot selected

nately for the success of the experiment,
there was too much wind, and the
clouds were dispersed Immediately.

a Plum Pudding in Russia.

Does any one remember Byron's IA
nous plum pudding story? If so, the
Nikita plum pudding story may strike
them as somewhat of parallel. When
staying at st. Petersburg for Christmas,
some English friends of the young
singer, thinking to please her and re-
gardless of the effects on her voice, sent
her monster plum pudding as sur
prise. Imagine her amazement and
trepidation when it was announced in
every morning paper that large box,
supposed to contain an Internal ma
chine, directed to the young singer, had
been deposited at the nearest police sta
ton. A letter reached her from an
authority-there are many authorities
about in st. MISUNDERSTANDING her

the box, fearing it might be dangerous
to their lives, but did she know of any

attempt, and on arriving at the police
station for that express purpose was
somewhat relieved to find the huge pack
age reposing quietly enough in tank of
water. Now came the moment for the

. Character OF the &c. ,ss..ti a-..PerOr.
The new emperor. on mounting the
throne, was of course expected to sus-
etain the policy Of minister whom his
@grandfather had honored with every
mark that a loyal subject or even a
:, money loving one could ask. The reign of
7 Frederick Ill, less than hundred days.
!. had been too short and too full of phys
ical suffering to let the world know the
strength and breadth of the ruler whom
Bismarck next appeared to represent.
I'm his successor the Germans have an
emperor who has not only abundant
physical energy and endurance, but has
with it a contempt for humbug, social
ism and the crooked police methods that
always suggest a feeble or rotten execu-
tive. He is a practical manager and
does not pretend to be savior of So
ciety. He has no quack nostrum for
poverty, crime, prostitution or the dis
scontent that sets class against class.
His business is to see that the govern
|ment machine runs smoothly, that COM
{petent men are employed, that the peo-
.,ple's taxes are spent for the public good,
that the law is administered without
favor and that reforms are inquired
Into. He has the mind of Yankee, he
loves experiment. his methods are di-
rect. He is the sort of man that FORCES
to the front in a new country. We can
imagine him learning his trade in some
machine shop, then rapidly rising to
position where inventive talent, thor
oughness. patience and. above all, hon
esty tell-say. at the head of some great
manufacturing or shipbuilding enter
sprise.
On his succession to power, 1888, he
did what most intelligent young men do
when suddenly placed in charge of all
estate. He inquired how the previous
manager had done his work: he exam
.ined personally into cases of alleged
wrong; he noted carefully the testimony
of qualified observers; his eyes were
opened to the need of reform in many
directions: he suggested these reforms
to his manager: the manager did not
agree with the master; the manager re-
signed and now spends his time in en-
barrassing as far as he can the move
ments of the manager who has super
seeded him. The immediate cause of
Bismarcks resignation will be known
when the emperor chooses to make the
matter public. Today we can regard
only the official acts of the minister, and
from these infer what reason there was
for his being retired. Bigelow

Everybody Was Mad.

Nate Cook, of Brownsburg, Ind, pur-
chased an old house, in which was
stored a photographers outfit. People
curiously inclined broke into the house
and examined the pictures, but carried
nothing away. Cook was very much
incensed, and he caused the arrest of
eighteen or twenty of the very best peo-
pie of Brownsburg, charging them with
trespass. The cases were afterward dis
missed, but not until all Brownsburg

A NON-RESIDENT'S RIGHTS.
The Story of Burnt Barge and
Mechanics Lien.


Judge Hunt yesterday rendered deci-
sion clearly defining the rights OF nom
resident to attach property belonging to q
nonresident.
The Cuddy Mullen Company of Detroit
supplied coal valued at S731 81 to John P.
Sullivan for Sullivan's steam barge, the Ira
Chaffee, upon which they held an American
lien for the amount due them.
But the barge was totally destroyed by
fire, which destroyed also the company's
lien. The barge was insured for $1,000. and
Sullivan is said 10 have promised to pay up
out Of that SUN, but failed TO do so.
A witness said he was quite emphatic In
his manner of refusal, stating. Before /
turn my wife out on the streer I'll rob, and
unless you settle with me as l want to Pll
assign this insurance money 10 my wife and
you cannot collect a cent"
Finally the company levied an attach
ment on some property owned by Sullivan
in this State, both the parties being resi-
dents of Detroit A motion was thereupon
made by Sullivan TO have the attachment
dismissed.
The court was of the opinion that under
the decision in PeDnoyer VS.. Neff, and the
decision of the Supreme Court of this State
in Belcher against Chambers, an at
taclfment cannot issue in this State against
a non esident except in favor of resident
of the State.
The motion to discharge the attachment
was therefore granted.

MINING COAL BY ELECTRICITY.
An Innovation Likely to Revolutionix
That Industry.

An Innovation Likely to Revol utionixe
That Industry.
Alaska is to possess one distinction, In
that it will be The first country in the world
in which electricity will be applied to coal
mining.
The Alaska Coal Company of this city,
which has its coal beds on Cooks Inlet, will
operate their mines exclusively by cleo
tricity.
The drawings for the plant, which win
cost $4,000, are being prepared under the
direction of Colonel G. r. Tuttle, the CON-
pany's engineer.
In speaking about the proposed innova-
ton in the methods of coal-mining, Colonel
futile said that the plan was perfectly
feasible. and, though costly at first. it would
more than pay for itself before being in use
six months.
I'VE have all and more power than we
need from a waterfall near the mines which
has 200 foot head.
Part of the plant will be sent up to the
mines during December, and by the end of
January 1t is expected to have the entire
works in full operation"
The colonel maintained that the work
was not an experiment, and that leading
electricians had expressed confidence that
the innovation would finally revolutoniZe
