WILL RIVAL THE SUN.
Wonders of the Worlds Fair EIectricnl
Plant.

This morning four cars loaded with machin-
cry consigned to Engineer Sargent were
switched over the Installation track into
Machinery Hall. They contained sections of
the two largest dynamos ever constructed,
the first of twelve small giants now being
built by the Westinghouse company for the
Worlds Fair, says the Chicago Journal The
dynamos came from the cOmpany's works Mt
Allegheny, Pennsylvania. where they have
been on exhibition since the middle OF Jan
nary, during which time 80, 900 persons inter
ested In electrical engineering have visited
installed as working exhibits in one section of
Machinery Hall, with ten machines of similar
size and capacity, they will attract as much
popular as scientific interest.
The dynamos when erected stand twenty
feet high from solid base Of concrete and
brick, and weigh nearly forty-fye tons apiece
10 drive each requires the best effort. Of a
] l,0DO-horse power engine, or total force OF
s,OOO-horse power, onc-h1lf the power Of the
whole Exposition plant. The nrmaturcs Of
the dynamo when run at full speed make 200
revolutions minute. AS each measures
ninety inches acrUss aud weighs A., 900 pounds
there Is little cause for wonder at the immense
energy developed.
Hitherto the largest dynamo constructed
has never supplied more than J,OO0 incgudcs-
cent lamps Of standard power. The Worlds
Fair machines have three times that capacity,
Each Will generate electricity for 1000
lamps, and the twelve will be able to do more
than double the amount OF work stipulated
for in the contract entered into between the
makers and the Exposition company.

Gently. bound for Boston. An
old man, we'll dressed, with long
white hair and flowing beard, entered
tho train at Augusta and walked up
and down tho aisle with his hat
cooked on the side of his head. His
appearance was ludicrous from the
fact that one side of his head and
face was clean shaven. He was to
go to Boston and stay over night at a
hotel and return the next day with
his hair and beard trimmed in that
way as the result of an election bet.

IN THE DEACoN'S PEW.
A Horrible Sensation Caused by n
rIlcher Of NIiIk and a Dog.


"Some curious stories are told in
connection With old puritan church
customs,h said Mr.. lIezekiah Butter
worth to Boston journal reporter.
"Somc Of the old customs seem very
funny as we see them low. 1t was
little less than crime not to 20 to
church in those old days unless de-
tanned by sickness. In fact, a person
was thought very little OF who even
came late to Sunday worship.
Zone Sunday morning in carly
reputation for housekeeping, spinning
and church attendance was excellent,
was belated in her morning work.
She took her long necked pitcher and
went to the pasture where her COW
was waiting to be MIXED. This duty
done, she found-for she could see
people on the road-that she hadn't
time even to carry her milk back to
the house and get to church in season.
So she took her long-necked pitcher
along with her and sat in the gallery
right near where the singers and
bass viols were displayed. After the
singing was over and the long SER
mon had begun-sermons We're an
hour or two long in those days-she
grew sleepy. Her long-necked
pitcher sat on the floor near by and
near the front of the gallery. She
was soon oblivious of either milk,
sermon or dog that came pit-patter-
ing up the gallery stairs. The milk

and wagged his tail, then smelt and
wagged again, then looked inquiringly
at the unconscious milbmaid. He
made up his mind very soon, and into
the long neck went the dogs head,
and neck too. He couldn't get much
milk and wanted to pull back and try
again.
But he couldn't. His head was
wedgcd fast in. He pulled away and
used his paws and tried to break
away. Blinded, of course, by the
pitcher, his steps were erratic, and
suddenly to the astonished people be-
low there appeared Il sudden parting
of the balcony curtain, an almost
blood-curdling yell was heard, and
there was flash and down pouring
straight in among the four uncon-
scious deacons in the deacons' pew
beneath of snow-white milk, long
necked pitcher and a milk-soakcd,
frightened dog.
"For once there was great awak-
cning in that church, but the poor
woman was nearly frightened out of
her wits and the superstious deacons
were greatly scandalized."

~ ONE BITE ENOUGH.
How Seals XIII Carp In Famous Lake
Tn ~aII

About year ago seventeen seals
were put into Lake MERGED to settle a
vexed question in pisciculture. They
soon settled 1t, did the seals, by bit
ing large chunk out OF each and
every fish and swallowing the chunks
with mingled snorts OF defiance and
delight, After each bite the carp
complained of a feeling Of goneness
In the region OF the stomach, says the
San Francisco Call. This was not
surprising, as the seal invariably re-
moved large and juicy piece from
tho under side of the fish, midway
between the head and tail.
That was all the seal wanted, and
when it had secured enough of
these tidbits for meal score or
more carp were left without any vi
tails to speak of. In this manner the
seventeen seals thrivcd and grew fat.
The carp is mud fish; it roots and
burrows and loves to stir up the mud
as ward rounder loves to STIR up
strife at primary election. Finally
the Spring Valley people concluded
that the situation demanded interven-
tion, Dramatically speaking, SO the
seventeen seals were turned in to
work their sweet will oh the carp.
The rest of the story is briefly told
in the words OF the engineer of the
pumping works on the lake: 1.-The
carp bothered us considerably" he
said, "but we arc about quit OF them,
There were more carp than we cared
to count around this wharf a year ago.
Goodness knows how many there
were in the lake. As soon as the
seals were put in we began to pick up
dead carp in the daily patrol OF the
banks. AT first they amounted 70
hundreds day.
"All OF the carp were killed by n
c,eai bite, which took out the belly
part as clean as n circular saw. The
seals didn't seem to care for anything
else. 1t is the same to-day, only we
pick up one dead carp now where we
picked up II hundred then. Every
carp had piece bitten out in the
same place and IN tho same way. We
gather up and bury all the rest. My
idea is that the seal knows the carp
is n bony fish and doesn't stop tC
finish, knowing he can get n square
meal off the next customer. The only
fear | have that is the seals will be
starved out at the rate they are
going. Some OF the carp in the lake
weigh twelve or fifteen pounds. 1t
matters not whether it is u big fish OF
little one, the seal only takes one
bite, which cuts clean circle out OF
the middle The seals in Lake Mer-
ccd are quite at home. They mount
on the planks and RATS and seem
rather to enjoy the situation. Ger
tainly they are well fed

Language of tho Umbrell,.

An American, after heightened
study of the subject, gives the follow
ing definition of the language
of the umbrella: TO place one
in rack at club indicates that
it will shortly change owners; If a
cotton one be substituted for silk.
it means that exchange is no rob
berry," writes Angela c. Boyce in
the Ladies' Home journal. "a
man getting all the raindrops from
the points of an umbrella which he
holds over lady signifies courtship,
but when n man keeps the lions share
of the article, giving tho lady the
raindrops, it denotes marriage. To
carry an umbrella under the arm at
an angle indicates that the Individual
following will lose an eye. while to
hold it just high enough to injure
passers' eyes and mems hats, signi-
ties am a woman Lastly, the loan
of an umbrella is synonymous with
an act of cgregious folly.n

In China, when it is desirable to
get rid of some very influential
official, it is done in a most polite
manner. He only receives a neat
parcel containing silken cord, with
an imperial dispatch setting forth
that. in consequence of his great vir-
tues and many services, the emperor
is graciously pleased to allow him to
strangle or hang himself; and the

write a careful answer, thanking his

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-London ca.
bles received in Wall street to-day re-
port that the Indian council has rece-
ded from the position it took when it
closed the Indian mints to the free
coinage of silver and were selling
council bills below the arbitrary fixed
rate of Is BID. The advices were
meager, and did not state whether
the mints had been reopened. In
the absence of definite news it was
supposed that the council had been
unable to maintain the rate of ex-
change on India at the price fixed.
Few persons understood what fur
ther changes might be expected or
why the reduction had been ordered,
1t was the original action of the
council in fixing the price of the ru-
pee and closing the mints that sent
silver from 85c. to &c. an ounce.
1t is just as the populists said.
The demOnetiZation of silver in
India was brought about to effect
the action of our congress. And
now, it having become evident that
congress will not demonetize silver,
India is taking the back-track. Are
we not right when we say that this
whole fight against silver is con-
spiracy of the moneypower? And
does not the peoples party deserve
the support of the people for singly
and alone making the great battle
for silver against both the old par
ties? I. b.
