NEW USE FOR CATS.
Here Is Man Who Extracts Electricity
 to Run Factory.

Here Is Man Who Extracts Electricity
 to Run Factory.
 ''I had large cork and bung factory in Grand avenue, and I needed power to run my machinery" writes a Mil waukeean in Harper's Weekly. You know, of course, that there is an inn mense amount of stored up electricity in a cat. The problem for inventors has been to invent way to extract it profitably. In the rear of my factory 1 constructed one-story circular build ing, some sixty feet in diameter. On the floor of this coiled a glass pipe six inches in diameter. The first coil ran around the outside of the room, the coils gradually growing smaller, till at last, in the center, it was no larger than table. 1t gave me some thing like mile of pipe. The top and sides of this pipe were lined with rather stiff hair brushes, the bristles being a little more than an inch in length.
 At that tim e Milwaukee was over run with cats. It was impossible to sleep nights. put notice in the pa per that would pay ten cents dozen for prime eats, delivered at my factory. I got sixty dozen the first day and stored them in the basement of the power-house. The motor operated thus: Placing in the outer end of the glass pipe an imitation rat made of rubber and propelled by a small inte- rior storage battery, I would then ad- just a cat immediately behind it. The rubber rat would start off at terrific rate-it was made to go through the mile of tubing in from two to three min utes-and the cat, of course, followed fu riouSly, thinking to catch the supposed animal throughout the entire distance. Gentlemen, it was exciting to watch a healthy, active eat whip about those spirals, with the mechanical rat about a foot ahead and going like a cannon ball. The eats back and sides rubbed against the brushes and her electricity was thus extracted. With a storage battery, and by sending a cat through every five minutes. generated enough electricity to operate my entire plant, light my factory and sell power to run neighboring passenger elevators and small machinery. It also took the yowl out of the cats and gradually the city became quiet. At the end of week eat could be caught and used again"

THE MAHARAJA'S WIFE.
Her Clever Ruse in Circunventing
 the Hindoo Laws.
By Clothing Herself in Boy's Attire the Potentate's Wife Was Enabled to Accompany Him on His Visit
 to America.

One little incident of the mahara- jah's trip to this country which has not yet been chronicled, says the Phil adelphia Press, gives a spice of adven- ture to the potentate's visit not often met with in these prosaic nineteenth century days.
 The Hindoo laws relating to women not only enforce their seclusion from what we term society, but forbid them from leaving the boundaries of India under any pretext. They are allowed to travel about in their own country under the strictest surveillance and with the proper escort, but the Brah- mins, the ancient priests of the Budd- hist religion, holding their iron rule z over rajah and low caste alike, have from time inmemorial forbidden the women to travel in foreign lands.
 When the mahara. .jah decided upon taking his favorite wife with him on his visit to the United States he had to devise some means of circumventing the Brahmin tradition, and what did he hit upon but the old disguise of Rosalind. He dressed his pretty little anana up as a boy and sailed out on his long journey without fear of the displeasure of the priests.
 The little lady lent herself to the part she had to play. Several Ameri cans who met the rajah's party in Rome and other continental cities were attracted by the pretty youth who was with them. When they tried to make friendly advances, the ex- treme modesty with which they were met rather puzzle them until, on ar irving at Paris, the pretty youth dis appeared and the wife of the rajah took his place.
 One American lady who enjoyed the society of the rajah and his suite much from Rome to New York was not let into the secret until on board the steamship Paris she spoke to the rajah's secretary about the absence of that handsome boy she had met travel ing with them.
 The secretary explained the little ruse by which they had outwitted the Brahmins. Soon afterward the lady was introduced to the anana, and the latter, on being reminded of her changed identity, laughing, replied in French, which she speaks very well:
 "Ah, yes; in Rome I was messieur. Tn Paris was madame. prefer to be madame"
 If the little trick should be discov- cred by the Brahmins on his return, all the maharajah would have to do to condone his offense would be to hand over good generous dulce to the of tended hierarchy.
 This method of evading time-hon- ored custom is evidently becoming quite popular among the younger ori- ental potentates who are developing the modern mania for travel. The sultan of Turkey, in his recent travels through Europe, had with him a very beautiful and mysterious page-his favorite wife, who, however, preserved her incog. until they returned to the nalace

FUNERAL OF A MONKEY.
4 Butte City Evangelist Delivers sn Ora
 ton Oyer His Body.


 A monkey named Joclzo. which was quite a character in the business cen tre of Butte City, died the other day and Rev. Mir. Rounder, who has a tab ernacle there. thought him worthy of funeral oration. So the little body 1 was placed in a casl1et and carried sol emnly out to the place of worship. Rev. Mir. Founder mounted the platform and spoke as follows, according to the Ana conda Standard:
 'GOd Almighty gave mankind ten commandments to show him how to live right. JOcko was never given any commandments, yet JockO in his own way managed to average up pretty well with the general run of mankind even without any commandments. When Moses brought the ten com mandments down from the. mountain there was one commandment which said: Thou shalt not swear Yet, judging from what one hears at any time up and down the street, swea ar ing with the general of mankind has come to be considered manly accom- plishment, and the most fantastic swearer is the most popular man.
 Mankind was commanded: Thou shalt not kill yet every year murder becomes more frequent. Then there is another commandment which man. kind has revised so as to require only that women shall obey it. In these fin de siecle days the offense is pro nounced to be no sin so far as man is concerned.
 "'Thou shalt not covet' was another command given to man. This does not apply to any who might desire that a pack of cards should be com posed of fifty-two kings and queens.
 ''God did not help Jocko along by giving him any commands, so he did not know how to do right, but he seemed to do better than most people you meet. I must admit that Jocko used to steal whenever he got a chance, but he was never told by any body not to steal, and with all his stealing he never took any more than he wanted for his own use. He never robbed widows and orphans, and he died with nothing on earth but the hair on his back.
 "Jocko never bothered his head about whether Fred Ritchie's monkey was a heretic or not. Not knowing himself whether he was orthodox or not, he never wasted any time in try ing to make everybody else believe as he did, except when he was after nuts. He made no pretensions to religion and he was no hypocrite. Jocko was not exactly civilized, but he never had to take the Keeley cure; he never smoked cigarettes, he never chewed tobacco. Joclzo never had a Bible to guide him, but he never forgot friend and he never betrayed friend.
 His worst fault was that he was natural born thief, but he was born that way. He was never told by his Creator not to steal, and if there is Heaven for monkeys I think Jocko is going to be close up to the throne with a never-failing supply of nuts and lettuce, and enough ink to swim

sMoKELEss GOAL COMBUSTION
No Tracc of smudge Left by an Invention
 Patented in Berlin.

No Tracc of Smudge Left by an Invention
 Patented in Berlin.
 The problem of the smoleless com bustion of coal is said to have been solved by an invention which has just been patented in Berlin and which is thus described by a German correspon- dent of1a London newspaper: At the furnace door there is a movable pear shaped apparatus, consisting princl- pallv of fire chamber lined with fire brick. One aperture of this hollow pear opens in the direction of the axis of the boiler into the mouth of the hitherto employed furnace, from which the fire grates, fire bridges, etc, have been removed.
 The opposition aperture of the hol- low pear is intended to admit a cur rent of air. By means of an ingenious automatic contrivance, coal dust, SUD- piled through a funnel placed above the current of air, is continually con veyed into the current of air and thence into the fire chamber, where it is i'm mediately brought into combustion by means of a small fire which is placed there. When this has once taken place the coal dust conveyed by the current of air continues to burn in one regular, intense flame.
 The current of air which brings the coal dust into the apparatus is regu- lated so as merely to convey the dust thither, whereas the further supply of air necessary for combustion is sent into the zone of combustion at right angles and in radiating jets.
 By this arrangement the coal dust and the air in the zone of combustion are intimately and thoroughly mixed, while the speed of the current which introduces the coal dust is diminished. It will thus be seen that the combus- tion of the coal which this method produces is extremely thorough, for each particle of fuel floats in the air and is brought into contact with the oxygen necessary for its combustion, so that it is totally consumed the mo- ment it enters the sphere of combus- tion. The proof of its being totally consumed is seen in the fact that not even trace of smoke is perceptible.

TOO MUCH ANNEXATION.

This Is England's Foible and Its Avoid
 ance Is America's Strength.
 The French would be wise if they did not covet the possessions of the king of Siam; for, if they manage to get them, they will probably cost a good deal more than they bring in. But this matter that hardly concerns us, says Labouchere in London Truth. Our jingoes are, of course, on the war path and tell us that Siam is the ''Hinterland" to Burmah, and that consequently we have right to pre- vent anyone laying hands on it. am glad that Lord Rosebery has thrown cold water on this startling doctrine. which in the end would enable us to claim the entire globe. Lower Burmah is near India, so we took it. This, it would seem, gave us a right 10 take upper Burmah, and now that we have upper Burmah this, in some inscrut able way, gives us rights over Siam. The possession of Siam. would, sup pose, justify us in annexing China. 1 wonder what we should say if some other European power were to build up an ever increasing empire in this ''house that Jack built fashion.
 In many ways the United States has educated the world in politics, and I, for one, do not hesitate to say that its scheme of government is the best that has ever been established by a na- tion. But in nothing do we owe more to the Americans than for their hay izg afforded us the great object-lesson of a state pursuing the even current of it's way, without that meddling in the affairs of other states which has been the bane of European powers. Here we have country, rich, powerful, indus trial and commercial, yet never troub- ling itself with what happens outside it's frontiers, or anneXing foreign lands on the plea of philanthropy, or on the ground that ir some centuries it's area will be too small for it's pop ulation, or in order to create markets for it's goods. And what is the result? No one dreams of attacking the United States or of picking quarrel with it.
 The lesson to be learnt is, that state should rest satisfied with promot ing the well being of her own citizens, and leave it to other states to promote the well being of theirs. Can anyone conceive the United States annexing jungles in the center of Africa, in the wild expectation that the inhabitants of the jungles will be civilized and then cover thSir nakedness with Amer ican cotton goods and cook their food in American pots and pans?

GERMAN ARMY DISCIPLINE.

Soldiers Must Above All Have Efficient
 Rifles and Avoid Chafed Feet.
 There are two things which the Ger man officer does not and caRnot con- done-one is the Eon-eficiency of the soldiers rifle, the other chafed feet. If either of these two takes place on the march or during the maneuvers the soldier is immediately punished with arrest, and is not allowed to offer any excuse, says writer in Harper's Maga- zine.
 During the different maneuvers of German army corps that 1 have at tended, 1 cannot recall handful of foOtsore men in the course of a days work, and yet at all these field opera tiOns forced marches are a feature in order to test the endurance of officers and men. The secret of this uniform excellence, as regards marching pow CTS, lies in the training which these men receive. When they enter their company as recruits in October the first thing that is impressed upon their minds is the importance of the shoe and the musket. No pains are spared in giving the men at the start comfort able foot-gear, and they are expected to look after this with as much inter- est as if it were chrOnometer. In the spring following, when the snow is off the ground, marches are undertaken, and these are regulated as carefully as are the strokes and the courses of the college crew under the hands of the trainer. Each day the men march half a mile or so farther than the day be- fore; each day the speed they are able to maintain is carefully noted; in fact, the record of company's marching from day to day, until late in the sum- mer, when they move into the open country, is kept as infinitely as if it were single picked company training for a match or competitive drill. The German soldier is educated and trained for the purpose of fighting, and to have a man fall out before he reaches the fire line is looked upon as quite as much a disaster as if he had been shot and wounded by the enemy. The art of war, as practiced in Germany, is very much the art of getting there," and 1t is the general who posts him. self most advantageously at the critical moment that may be assumed to have won the battle.
