THAT BOTHEKING BOX.
A Bad Boy, Mad Conductor and
Fighting German.

An amusing incident occurred the
other day 0p Fourth avenue car going
up the Bowery. On the front of the
platform was MISUNDERSTANDING
youth and very dilapidated trunk,
says the New York Recorder The con-
ductor, after collecting the boys fare,
demanded a fare for the trunk also,
which the boy promptly refused to pay.
''If you don't pay for that trunk and
right away. too. Ill tmow it off the
car" said the conductor.
Il can't help what you do" the boy
replied. II shan't pay you cent for it,"
After wordy dispute, in which the
boy persisted in his refusal to pay for
the trunk, the conductor gave it kick
car had gone about half block
when a sleepy-looking German, with
very rubicund face, suddenly sprung
from his seat and gaZed wistfully back
at the trunk. which was fast becoming
indistinct in the distance. In an IN
slant his face became livid with rage.
and rushing to the rear platform he de-
manded of the conductor in words more
forcible than elegant:
"Vat you mean by putting mein trunk
off the car in dot way for?''
''lf that is your trunk why didn't you
pay me for it, this car amt no free ex-
press wagon" the conductor replied.
IVY der tuyfel didn't you ask me to
pay for it den? You shust run back
and get dot trunk now or I'll preak
your head"
After short and bitter struggle. in
which the German seemed to annihilate
his opponent. who was by far the smaller
of the two, the conductor stopped the
car and ran back for the trunk. With
an effort he shouldered it, and, amid the
cheers and laughter of the passengers.
and especially of the small boy, who
seemed to enjoy the incident hugely.
placed the trunk back on the platform
from which he had thrown it.
The German, who was apparently per-
fectly satisfied with the outcome of the
difficulty, paid his nickle for the trun k
and again resumed his seat, where he
quietly continued his nap as if nothing
had happened to disturb him.

SWIMMING IN UNIFORM.
A New Feature in the Training OF
German Soldiers.

German Soldiers.
While the swimming service is oblig-
atory on the pioneers, and lately on
the cavalry, it is optional with the
members of the other departments of
army, and the fact that the annual sub
scription list is always more than
full is a pleasant indication of
the love of sports among our blue boys,
says the Berlin Zellung. The in
stluction is given under the direction
of lieutenants by under officers. 1t be-
gins with the regular practice of the
swimming strokes, the pupil being sup
parted meanwhile by the so-called fish
ing rod When he has learned the
movements wei! enough to be able to
support himself above the water he be-
gins to swim on loose line. After
this he must submit to the test of swim
ming alone for fifteen minutes; then
for half an hour, accompanied by 4
boat, and then comes the death trip"
which: lasts an hour.
The swimming exhibitions held at
the end of the summer before the COM
manderS of the Dattaiions or regiments
are pleasant festivals, and those held
at Berlin or Potsdam are often attended

of the German army is an excellent in
stitution, for, besides giving the men
healthy exercise, it tests the courage
and self-control of the men in time of
peace.

A large crowd attended the "cake

night and went away we'll satisfied.
The final prize in the contest was
awarded to James Mcdonald and Miss
Fannie Sharp. The couple proved the
very personifcation of grace. The pro-

NoREPATERNALIsM WANTED
Curious Demand Made by a South
MINNEAPOLIS Paper.

Ml nIACSl pulls dDcf.
The South Minneapolis Telegram
wants the board of education to pre-
scribe where teachers shall live, as wit
ness the following:
1t is not expected that the board of
education shall prescribe where teach
ers shall board. But a suggestion on
their part that teachers live OF board
near the building where they are en-
ployed would probably prove Salutary.
Many Of the rooms in the Adams and
other Southslde schools were without
teachers Wednesday and Thursday on
account of their living so far away.
Right here 1t might be well TO call at
tention to the fact that some teachers
apparently feel above the localities
which give them their living. They
shake the dust of South Mime
RpoliS for instance) from their
feet as soon as school is out
and HE themselves to what they
deem more aristocratic localities.
1t is reported that one esthetic young (D
lady teacher was heard to remark: !
would rot like to be found dead in such
a place as SOuthtown.' Now South
Siders want teachers who will be in
touch with the people. and not corps
of ladies (?) who are too high toned TO
identify themselves with the people
who pay taxes for their support"

LIGHT FROM ALUMINIUM.
Important Discovery by French
Chemist.

Important Discovery by French
Chemist.
A very intense light, such as is re-
CURED for Photographic. or occasionally
for medical purposes, may, as is we'll
known, be readily obtained by burning
magnesium ribbon, which has, how
ever. the disadvantage of being some
what expensive, says the Philadelphia
Record. An excellent substitute,
says the London Lancet. has been
found by French chemist, NJ. Villon,
in aluminium, which IS about the third
of the price of magnesium, and which
may be utilized in spirit lamp, or it Il
flame of much more brilliancy is re-
Quired, in a coal, gas, or spirit flame
supplied with jet of oxygen. In
these it burns without emitting fumes,
in which respect it is superior TO mag
nesium. The light given by alumni
mum has high actinic power-nearly
as high, indeed. as that of magnesium.

a Fatal Explosion in a Colorado

OURAY, Col, March l3.-Last night
at 10 o'clock aterrific explosion occurred
in Revenue tunnel, eight miles from
this place, 10y which two men were In
stantly killed and two injured, one
fatally. Four men were putting in
blasts, and had fifteen holes charged,
when all exploded with terrific
force. Grant Robinson had his
head torn from his body and was other
wise terribly mangled. Pat Maloney
was struck in the breast by large
rock and instantly killed. Pat Burns
was torn and bruised and his death is
expected every moment. The fourth
man was but slightly injured. The ac-
cident was caused by the heating OF the
holes by the drill, thus setting Oft the

cient faith, as held outside Ju-
daism, we should see that man
is not supposed to be creature whose
life is bounded by birth or by death. as
the transmigration of souls was com.
mon to all antiquity. SO the hope OF
life after death was an article OF firm
trust. 1t is curious fact that the de-
ciples of Jesus tried it. Master they
asked. "wbo did sin, this man, or his
parents, that he was born blind? They
evidently thought before he came into

From all this it will be seen how

cred in Mashonaland.
Rev. Owen Watkins has been pros
pectlng in Mashonaland in the interests
of the Wesleyan Missionary society,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. In recent
letter he says he is presumably the first
white man to see the Mount of Foot
prints, which he thus describes: "At
last we came to one large mound OF
rocks on the top of the hills. Here are
thousands of impressions ON the granite
rock. Hundreds of human footsteps.
thousands of footprints of animals
lions, jackals, wolves and antelopes.
On the top of the mount the appearance
is as if crowd of animals and men had
rushed together in fright. AT whatever
period these footprints were made, it
must have been before the outer sur
face OF the rock had hardened. The
distance from where the footprints
begin to where they eliminate OH the
mount is 200 yards.

RAINFALL In MAY.
The Present Year Has Not Been an Elk
ceptioD.

The Present Year Has Not Been an Ex-
ceptiOD.
The old inhabitant has been busy for the
last week or ten days explaining that the
weather during that time is unprecedented
in the history Of the State. That this is not
true is conelusiyely proven by the records
on file in the Office of the Weather Bureau
in this city. There it is shown that the
first fifteen days of May are nearly always
rainy, and that the amount which has fallen
in the last week is by no means unusual.
THE month of May is nearly always
rainy one" said Lieutenant Finley yester-
day, "but most of the precipitation occurs
before themiddle of the month. Thus far
this month .63 of an inch has fallen. This
is a trifle below tho average. The records
show for the different years that the
amounts were as follows: 1879, rainfall for
the first half Of the month, . 30 inches; 1880.
rainfall for the firsttwelve days, 112 inches;
1853, for about the same period in May, $50
inches; in 1889, 1890 and 1891 the records
respectively were Eli, 1.07 and 1.25 inches.
Thomas Tennent. compiler OF the Tide
Register and Marine Digest. has been
close observer OK California weather for 40
years past and his records Of the rainfall at
San Francisco from 1S49 TO 1890 have
special value. According to Mr.. Tennent
the rainfall for the present month is little
late but not unusually heavy. The figures
are SO or an inch In I'VE days. In May OF
last year the precipitation was 1.26 in days,
and rs of an inch fell in days OF June.
The last rain was on June II.
In 1854 1sS inches of rain fell in
6 days Of May. In 1856 only 10 fell
in four May days. In 1859 rain fell on
II days Of May, measuring 2,S6 inches,
while in 1872 rain fell on one day only If
the same month, measuring One-hundredth
of an inch. There was a wet May in 1879.
when 2.13 inches fell in five days and dry
May In 1855, when Go of an inch fell on
one day. In 1891 pa inches of rain fell in
seven days OF June, al occurrence abso-
lutely without precedent In 1859, 1863
1864 1865, 1861, 1870. 1871. 1877, 1880 and
