nearly all the large cities of this country,
and the best equipped departments also
use his rotary engine, swinging harness,
bitless bride, automatic horse cover,
electric wire cutter, tin roof cutter, Gel
lar pipe spray nozzle and door opener.
His team gave daily exhibitions in
London, and the cockneys said it was
better than circus. It was circus Of
its kind, for two of his men were old
tumblers, and when occasionally they
rushed up ladder, turned couple Of
somersaults in midair, lighting on their
feet on the ground and then grabbed a
nozzle, turned a handspring and tore off
up the ladder again, the Britons thought
it part of their regular drill.
Only one London fire company had
the nerve to tackle Chief Hale's team in
a speed contest to see which company
could get out of bed and be ready for a
fire quicker. 1t took the Londoners a
minute and II seconds, while the Amer
leans were in the street in just 81 Sec
onds The latter had the advantages Of
brass sliding poles, swinging harness
and trained horses, however, all of (which
were unknown things in London, though
they will probably be adopted there and
in other big cities in England and on the
continent, along with the water towers
and other inventions of Chief Hale.
The chief is native of Cotton, n. Y,
and about IL years of age. He was a
machinist and engineer and was ap-
pointed chief of the Kansas City depart
ment in 1879. He is small, snug and
why, quick and alert, and has just a
sprinkle of gray in his jet black hair.

1t cost the people of the United States
about $25, 900 in a couple of hours the
other day to settle in the minds of the
officers of the ordnance bureau whether
some armor plates made by the Carnegie
and Bethlehem steel works respectively
were as good as they ought to be. 1t
was found that they were, and what
that means can be imagined when one
of the plates was II inches thick, weighed
81 tons, and was attacked by shells
weighing $50 pounds each, the last ones
fred from - inch gun at distance of
only $40 feet, striking it with the force
needed to move a mass of 81 600 tons, or
43, 900, 600 pounds, through a foot of
space. The projectile went through.
We take it that that did not surprise
even the experts, who are used to think
ing about those inconceivable masses
and velocities. But what did surprise
them was that the hole it made was
nearly as clean as if it had been drilled,
and that not crack appeared about its
edges. Though this particular projec-
tile was lost-having been DETECTED and
fallen into the Potomac-the other pro-
jectiles which penetrated the same plate
were found in perfect condition and fit
to be used again. That seem almost
more marvellous than the perfection of
the plate.
Meanwhile the people of New York
may take some satisfaction in knowing
that down at Sandy Hook the war de-
partment has just mounted gun that
will throw 1000 pound projectile and
make a hole in the heaviest armorclad
ship now afoat at a distance of six
miles. If we must spend money on what
we hope are purely peaceful experiments,
it is comfort to know what we get for
it.-Harper's Weekly.

ture>of police are shown charts for
the Identification of prisoners and
crooks. Some Of these are color OF
the eyes, shape of the ears, left mid
die finger, length and breadth o.
head, left forearm, outstretched
arm, color of the eye and height OF
figure.
Methods of cremation are shown,
as well as many excellent sani-
tary methods.
Java has a very fine exhibit in
the agricultural hall. Among her
exhibits are shown models Of bridg-
es made entirely of bamboo spliced
and tied after the manner Of the
Japanese; toedong, or hats, made
from leaves overlaid like fish scales /;
topi, or bamboo hats, very finely
plated, said to be so enduring as
to be handed down as heirlooms
from father to son; slippers made
entirely from material furnished by
the sugar palm hatony, or whistle,
used on festive occasions with the
kingong, when the first rice is cut /;
models of their huts; wooden
masks used in the wayung per-
formances, they are held fast with
the teeth, wooden pin or
leather strip is provided for the
purpose also, specimens Of their
teas and coffees; vanilla and sam
Piles of confections and preserved
fruits, etc.
Most conspicuous among all the
exhibits of enamel, or art ware, IS
the exhibit of the japanese cloi-
somm in the panel by Nanukowa
Sosuku, in the lower gallery of the
art palace, which many visitors
mistake for painting. 1t represents
Fugi Yama, the peerless noun
tain, with its crest rising above
the clouds and shows COM
bination of cIoisome and cloi-
sonless enamel, which serves to
render the different textures of
soft clouds and the rocky slopes OF
mountains. Specially worthy of
mention are the three large cloi-
somme vases, the largest ever
manufactured, which staRd near
toe veranda in the east court.
They are the work of S. Susuki,
but were designed by Shin Shi-
woda, counselor for the fine arts Of
the Japanese commissioners to the
Worlds Fair. The design
represents the seasons OF the
year. The groups of chick
ems indicating spring; the
dragon, summer, and the two
eagles autumn. While on the re.
verse side OF the vase showing the
two eagles a winter scene is repre-
sented. The same design also
symbolizes the three virtues highly
priced by the Representation,
honesty, and strength, these are
symbolized on these vases, respect
lively, by the dragon, chickens and
eagles. Another idea to be con
veyed by the design on their fronts
is that the dragon is indica.
tive of China, the two eagles OF
Russia, the groups of chickens Of
the Corean islands and the rising
sun the empire of Japan, while the
bronze eagle on the corner of the
censor is the American eagle; the
five nations named being inter.
ested in the eastern question.

are the best medicines She has prac-
ticed faith healing from early girlhood
and Is credited with some remarkable
cures. One of her notions is that the
elixir of life will soon be discovered.
For the past two years Lady Paget has
been what she herself calls "a full blown
vegetarian" though she does not go TO
the extreme of excluding eggs, butter
and milk from her diet and admits that
at d dinner party she is sometimes forced
to take very small piece of fish or a
scrap OF an entree, "just to avoid being
too peculiar"
Lady Paget alleges that she was led to
adopt vegetarianism because of the re-
voting disclosures Of some papers she
read about the transportation Of cattle
and slaughter houses, but says she was
also moved by the feeling that she had
no right to indulge in food that necessi-
tated any one following "a brutalizing
and degrading occupation like that of
butcher" Vegetarians, she admits, may
be faddists and eccentrics, but ''they are
invariably high minded, we'll disposed
people, and believe that the practice Of
vegetarianism will play an important
part in refining the masses and render
ing them less coarse and brutal"
One of the corollaries of a vegetable
diet, Lady Paget says, is the ability to
bear fatigue. ''Since / have abstained
from flesh can climb hills with great
easy and never get out of breath" An
other is that ''vegetarians have in
variably bright, clear compilations" and
still another that sit is convenient when
travelling to be able to make a meal
off piece of bread and an apple" 1t
will not be long, she thinks, until we
come to exclude meat altogether from

the council that it is now agreeable to
me to again assume such duties.
In this connection / wish to call the
attention of the council to the proposition
which has been made by the cabinet to
separate the Offices of the president and
minister of foreign affairs, and thereby
relieve the president from the manage
ment of the foreign office, and to ask
their careful consideration of the pro-
posed change.
Although the state of my health rend-
