LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
A Mammoth Search Light at the
 Columbian Exposition.
It Has a Power of 16o, OOo, 900 Candles and It's Glare Can He Seen at Distance of Sixty Miles on
 Clear Night.

At the worlds fair grounds the other night the scientists in charge made test of the search light, which is to il- illuminate Jackson park and large parts of the earth adjoining. The vast cleo tric light is perched on the high tower of the transportation building. It is wonderful thing. this great light whose rays can be seen sixty miles away and which can locate a man from ten to twenty miles distant, according to the power of electricity that is on.
 The light is the largest and strongest one in the world. It was made by Schuckert & Co.,, of Nuremberg, Ger many, and it has been brought to this country by Prof. Fred W. Tischendoer- fer, mechanical and electrical expert. He brought the immense light to this country expressly for the worlds fair, and it will be on exhibition until after October 21, when it will be taken down until the opening of the fair next year.
 The light is what is known as four. foot reflector-that is, the great magni. flying glass, through which the rays are thrown to such a distance, is four feet in diameter.
 The direct power of the light is 15o,- OoO CdHulcS, WlCnOuU dIy SldSS WllCeVcr. With the big glass, however, the power Is magnified to 160, ,o00,O 900 candle power.
 The cartoons used in the radiator are twelve inches long and one and a quarter inches in diameter. They are fastened inside the lamp merely with two up right pieces of steel. The lamp itself is operated on a sort of carriage something after the manner of a Maxim gun. Ii can be turned in any direction and can be tilted so that the rays will ascend straight up.
 This big search light has only been in Chicago Q few days. It was made expressly for exhibition at the fair by the German firm. The test was a grand success. Under the searching rays every portion of the fair grounds could be as distinctly seen as in the broad rays of the sun. The Columbian guards en- circling the grounds could easily be dis cerned as they paced their beats. When the full power of the light was turned on the city of Chicago could be viewed distinctly, though the night was anything but clear. Prof. Tischen- doerfer claims that on a perfectly clear night Michigan City, across the lake, would be perfectly visible. He also claims that on shch night the rays from the lamp could be seen by persons sixty miles away.

tht close; they will find ready pur rh@>rra, although they are really ex- pen>ivc luNurics, owing to the tariff.
 To protect the home skeleton industry against foreign competition an import tax of from thirty-ive to fifty per cent has been imposed. Despite this fact domestic skeletons are not in de- mand, and the regular dealers do not carry them in stock.
 French skeletons are the finest in the market and Paris is the head center of the trade.
 It is not that a Frenchman's bones are of such superior quality. It is the other Frcnchman that puts them in shape that gives them their great value.
 The mode of preparation is a very delicate operation. The scalpel is first called into acquisition to remove the muscular tissues. Its work being done the bones are boiled, being carefully watched meanwhile that they may not be Overdonc. After this cannibalistic procedure they are bleached in the sun. Even then spots of grease are sure tt appear when they are exposed to heat. The French treat these with ether and benzine, securing thereby a dazzling whitencsS, which is a distinguishing mark of their skeletons. They are war ranted never to turn yellow and tc stand the test of any climate. New York in midsummer is not too hot fol them.
 They are put together by a master hand. A brass rod with all the proper curvatures supports the spinal column Delicate brass wires hold the ribs il place. Hinges of the most perfect work manship give to the joints a graceful and lifelilie movement. Cleverly con cealed hooks and eyes render disjunc tion at pleasure possible. The whole construction plainly indicates the car. and skill of an artist and a connoisseur Domestic skeletons are generally the work of amateurs. Janitors in medica colleges rescue bones from the dissect ing rooms and cure and articulate them They find purchasers among the stu dents, who on the completion of thei studies resell the skeleton. if happily the market is not glutted. A second hand skeleton may thus be had at quit a reasonable fgure-occasionally as lov as Sl5.

Condemned to Death Thrice.

Hans Nielsen, of Copenhagen, has had the probably unique experience ot being sentenced to death three times according to the London News. Such is the lenity of Danish law, or rather the indisposition of the authorities tc proceed to extreme measures, that this notorious criminal has already been re prieved twice and relegated to prison for long term It was in prison that he committed his last offense, for he murdered one of his jailers. Nielsen began his career at the age of eight by setting fire to Q farmhouse, and it is doubtful whether he has ever earned ar honest penny in the whole course of his existence. He was formerly a resident of London.
