A GENUINE MONARCH.
The Sultan Of Johore Will Soon Be
Our Guest.
He Has q Fad For Collecting JeweIs-A
Strange Admixtare of Intelligence and
Bombast-The Third Monarch to Visit
Our Glorious Republic.
[speciaa Correspondence.l

Especial CoFrespondence.l
CHICAGO. June g2.-This country is
soon to witness the arrival Of new
guest in the person Of the richest and
most widely known Of the smaller orien-
tai rulers. The shah Of Persia has de-
cided to keep within the sboundaries Of
his domain this year, the kaiser will
not come, and the only monarch we shall
see will be the sultan Of Johore.
Deputy Commissioner Lake Of the
Worlds Colandbian exposition has re-
ceived word to Join the sultan at Caris-
bad. where his majesty is now sojourn-
ing for his health, and he has sailed
thither for the purpose of conducting
him to the United States.
The visit of an oriental potentate to
this country is Of more than passing sig
nidoance. The sultan of Johore will be
thu first Of the eastern gonarchs to set
foot upon our shores aid his welcome
will be cordial and administrative. He is
wealthy enough to keep up while travel
ing state almost equal to that main
tanned by the shah, and those who have
the good fortune to see him will talk
long about his wonderful Jewels.
The sultan is said to possess the finest
collection Of diamonds, rubies and pearls
in the world. Many Of the gems have
histofies which tell the story of the rise
and fall Of the effete monarchies of the
east, and as he has a fad for collecting
the finest within his. reach he has spared
no expense to enrich the royal treasury
in this direction.
1t requires no little search to find the
domain of the sultan of Johore on the
map. It lies at the foot of the Malay
peninsula, very small country, and one
of which the world at large hears but
little. Here the august sultan rules over
few hundred thousand people, Malays
like himself, and holds his throne by the
grace of Queen Victoria.
An English governor who resides at
Singapore, the chief city of the peninsu-
la, takes care of the queens interests in
that part of the World and incidentally
looks after the sultan. The rajahs of
Johore have from time immemorial been
very rich, possessing jewels in great
abundance and keeping up a state as
rulers far beyond the Importance of their
cramped domain
A Quarter or q century ago one OF
them coded his realm to England, since
when succeeding rajahs have been de-
pendents, having nothing to do but to
spend their wealth. The sultans of Jo-
hore are strange admixtures of intelli-
gence, cruelty and bombast. The nat
ural wealth OF the country is simply
enormous.
Johore produces spices of every kind
and scores of valuable woods precious

The Coolest Cold,

The science of chemistry, like that
of geography, has its undiscovered north
pole. Four hundred and sixty-one de-
grees below the freezing point of the
Fahrenheit thermometer (-274 degree
CO. lies a mysterious, specially indi-
Gated degree of cold which science has
long been gazing toward and striving
to attain, wondering meanwhile what
may be the conditions of matter at this
unexplored point. Its existence has
long been indicated and its position es-
tablished in two different ways-viz,
the regularly diminishing volume Of
gases and the steady falling off of the
resistance made by pure metals to the
passage through them of electricity IN
der increasing degrees of cold.
This point, to which both these proc
esses tend as an ultimate, is called The
zero of absolute temperature. By more
than n eminent observer it is suppos Il
to be the temperature of interstel ar
space, the normal temperature of the
universe. Whether or not this suppu-
sition be correct, the efforts which have
been made and are still in progress to
reach this degree of cold have been many
diverse and ingenious, the equipment of
the explorer being not boats, condensed
foods and the general machinery of ice
exploration, but all the varied resources
of mechanics and of chemistry which
can be combined to compass the ex-
tremest degree of cold.-McClure's
Magazine.

Il knew it was all nonsense. walled

Without another word he sped back
to North Wind and told him the ram
had proved absolutely worthless. He
had come now to demand his rights. he
said.
Upon my word, you're q plucky
lad, exclaimed North Wind. We'll,
the best can do for you now is to give
you the stick III yonder corner. 1t may
be of some use to you. If you say. My
stick. do your duty, it will go on strik-
ing until you say, My stick, be still"
With many thanks Olaf started for
home. AS he passed the inn where he
had lost his treasures. he thought it
might not be Il bad thing to stop there
once more. So he went in, threw him
self down on u bench and was soon
snoring loudly.
The landlord quickly spied the magic
stick. and taking it for granted it
might be worth Us much to him as the
cloth and ram he had taken from the
same guest he found another stick that
looked like it to leave in it's place.
But as he laid hands on North Winds
gift, Olaf, who vas only pretending to
be asleep, started up, crying:
My stick, do your duty"
Then the stick fell to beating the
landlord, who tunbled headlong over
benches and tables, shrieking and
screaming:
For mercy's sake. bid this stick be
still. or it will beat me to death Stop
it-for PHYS sake stop it, and III give
you back your tablecloth and your
ram"
AS soon as Olaf thought mine host
had been well punished he said quietly;
My stick, be still"
At once the magic stick ceased from
its labors. and the landlord restored the
stolen goods to their rightful owner.
Olaf put the tablecloth ard the stick
in his pocket, and fastening IA cord to
the rams horns led it home in triumph.
North Wind had paid handsomely
for the -four, and tie widow and her
son lived in peace and plenty all their
days.-Auber Forester in Philadel-

A New Building Material.

A new kind of building material as
a proposed substitute for ordinary stone
or brick is now receiving special in
dorsement on account of its freedom,
under various and repeated tests, from
the usual liability to crack or fracture.
To insure this property, with the other
essential adaptations, silicic acid is
used, powdered and cleansed from all
impurities. Five to ten per cent of this
and this is applied to slaked or we'll
burned lime, or added to hydraulic lime,
the resulting product being mixed with
sand and small portions Of fluorspar.
This mixture is cast into molds, in
various shapes as may be desired, and
after removal the castings are left to
dry from 10 to "a hours, which brings
them to a condition as dry as atmos-
pheric air. In this state they are brought
into a steam boiler and steam blown
through so as to drive out all air, after
which the boiler is Theoretically sealed
up and steam let in under Il pressure
Of 10 atmospheres. In this high pres
sure steam bath the stones remain for
49 to II hours, afterward being submit
ted to a bath of boiling and saturated
chloride of calcium for 6 to 12 hours,
also under a pressure of about 10 at
mospheres, in the sam boiler, and the
condensed water may be used for the
bath. The stones are allowed to dry
in the open air, or, more quickly, by
circulating steam inside the boiler after
the chloride of calcium has been with
drawn and prior to taking out the stones.

In the daintiest pink n white;
From her miscellaneous hand she filings
Pink petaled lawn daisies, the sprite.
The daisies are Spells, and after
She's cast them and knows that I'm

The ring of her delicate laughter

Unable to cope will her art;
Henceforth, with her baby feet light,
She will walk roughshod DER my heart.

SAILED THE SEAS SO YEARS.
One of His Experiences.

For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed
the sea, most of that time as master of a YES
sci, and upon retiring from tie water was ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the United States
Treasury to s~uperintend the seal fisheries in
Alaska. which position he held five years. He
relates one experience as follows:
"For several years L had been troubled with
general nervousness and pain in the region
of my heart. My greatest affection was
s!eeple snesS; it was almost impossible at any
time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen
DIR. Miles remedies advertised l began using
Nervine. After taking a small quantity the
benefit received was so great that l was posi-
lively alarmed, thinking the remedy con-
tanned opiates which would finally be fnjuri-
Gus to me; but On being assured by the drug
gist that it was perfectly harmless, l contin-
ued it together with the Heart Cure. Today

o CONSIDERABLE.

A Dentist's Patient Who Made q Great
Mistake.
Madame was to have two teeth ex-
tracted and decided to take gas for the
occasion, says the Newport Daily News.
She wa comfortably placed in the big
chair and WIS enjoying the first sensa-
ton of breathing in the fumes. There
was a delicious murmuring that re-
minded her of the sounds of u lovely
summer day, bees hummiug and all ma
ture at Il lullaby. But she was still
conscious, just dazed enough to fancy
that 4 long time was passing and she
vas consuming quantities of gas with
ont its having the desired effect. She
must be taking moro than the doctor
could afford to give her. Several times
he had lifted her fingers to see if they
were limp, and now he suggested that
she keep her hand as long as possible
held up from the wrist. Madame had a
tender heart, and in her ~half-aSlcep
state it |overpowered her head. The
dentist could never waste on one pa
ticnt that amount Of gas. 1t was her
duty to deceive him and stop this great
drain on his pocket. So she let the
hand fall limp and played insensible.
Out came one tooth with q horrible
wrench that invaded every fiber in her
heing and brought her back to her
fall senses with 81 bound. The doctor
was amazed, and both were amused
when thc state of the case was realized.
Tho second tooth waited for another
day.

A recent issue of the Engineering
Magazine has IN interesting survey of
Railroad Development in Africa"
from the pen of Cyrus D. Adams. Only
five years ago, he says, a magnificent
harbor was discovered at the mouth OF
PIingwee river, about one hundred and
fifteen miles below tho Zambesi delta.
It is about wv miles wide and six
miles long, and on it's northern shore
has risen the town Of Beira, where five
hundred Europeans. half of them Brit
iSh. are now living. Beirs is n OF
Africa's latest marvels.
Probably no white man six years ago
had ever seen the barren promontory of
sand it occupies. November %, 1892, a
locomotive that had been put together
in Bcira pulled through one of the
streets and q little way out of town;
for Beira is to be the port of hIashona-
land, the region of mountain and
plateau where British enterprise is
opening new gold fields. A month ago
tG;Iiy-ive miles of the new railroad
;,Id ben completed. The route for
ncar.$ half the way to Massikesse lies
along the Bust river. It's total length
Is less Cuil TWO unOT6 HllCS, us
longest bridge has u span of about
three hundred feet, and the cost of the
road is estimated at about five million
dollars. The Mozambique company, a
Portuguese corporation, is carrying out
the work, but, by arrangement. the
British South Africa company is to
have certain privileges in the manage
mcnt of the road, and will build an ex-
tension from the Portuguese frontier at
Massikesse to Fort Salisbury, the seat
of government in MaShonaland. The
Portuguese line is to be completed by
the end of this year, and then'the Brit
ish extension will be pushed forward.
This line will give to Newfoundland
which, in agricultural and mineral re-
sources and the salubrity of it's climate,
is one of the most favored parts of
Africa-its shortest outlet to the sea.
Beira is destined to be n port of large
Importance, and lots for business pur-
poses are now selling for fifteen hun
drcd to twenty-five hundred dollars
apiece in a place which not many
months ago wa q barren waste. Five
years ago only two Or three white men
had ever visited Mashonaland; it's pres
ent population includes three thousand
white settlers.
