THE FERRIS WHEEL,
What the Giant Undertaking Represents
a.s in Mechanics. 85

what the Giant Undertaking Represents
in Mechanics.
1t is not easy for the mind to grasp
the stupendous nature of this under
taking, says the Review of Reviews.
The wheel itself is 250 feet in diane
ter; at its highest point it is 268 feet
above the earth. That is to say that
II the Bunker Hill monument were
used as a yardstick to- measure it the
towering monolith would fall short
fifty feet. If the wheel were set in
Broadway by the side. of Trinity spire
it would lift the passengers of it's
cars to level with the apex of that
soaring steeple. The obelisk of Lux
or, or Trajan's pillar, at Rome, would
not be long enough to serve as a ra-
dial spoke.
Then, again, as to it's enormous
weight. The Niagara cantilever, lust
below the falls, was looked upon as
an engineering wonder when it was
built Its construction required three
years. The Ferris wheel was built
In five months and it's weight is four
times that of the Niagara bridge. The
st. Louis bridge was another wonder
and its weight is about equal to that
OF the big wheel complete The Gin
cinnati cantilever is another huge
bridge: it is 1,300 feet long, and it
would about balance the scale with
Mr.: Ferris big toy. And the one is
set immovable resting on two sup
ports, while the wheel IS swung upon
an axle lifted 40 feet in the air. It
has thirty-s cars, and in these two
regiments of soldiery could be seated
and swept with an almost impercepta-
BILE motion high above the White won.

full, well-rounded life died with the
applause of the world ringing in his

I have heard it on authority, though
from a source which cannot explain
very definitely, that after death had
moved down the woman with his
scythe in the grim valley where he
makes his sham bles, her released
spirit was perplexed about the way
which would take it to it's estimation.
In her perplexity she addressed an
eidolon that she met, asking it the
way to what she deemed her future
abiding place. ..g.z.
''Ah!'' the eidolon is reported as
having said to the woman, in response
to her question, sit is hell that you

He heard the subtle irony, the cut

the honest assumption of punishment

his seat after somehow bidding his

Strange Effect Of a Snake Bite.

Strange Effect OF Snake Bite.
The scene was the White Sulphur

several years ago: Aeirous troupe had
BEEN playing there for some days,
which numbered among it's attrac-
tions an Arab snake-charmer: While
waiting his turn to,"go. on during a
performance he was occupied in train
ing a rattlesnake, recently procured
in the neighboring mountains. He.
said afterwards that he had an anti

{ NIAGARA STOPPED FLOWING,
The Water Froze and the Falls We're
!. ~ Dry for Short Time.

E5} Dry FOR Short Time.
It seems almost incredible, says the
Toronto Globe, that at one time in
its history the greatest and most
wonderful waterfall in the world actr-
ally ran dry. Nevertheless, it is an
established fact that occurred on
March 20, l848, and for a few hours
scarcely any water passed over
Niagara Falls. The winter ofthatyear
had been an exceptionally severe one,
and ice OF unusual thickness had
formed on Lake Erie. The warm
spring rains loosened this CONCEALED
mass, and on the day I'M question a.
brisk east wind drove the ice far into
the lake. About sunset the wind sud-
denly veered round, and blew heavy
gale from the west. This naturally
turned the ice in It's course, and,
bringing it down to the mouth of the
Niagara River, piled it up, im' a solid,
inapenetrable wall.
SO closely was it packed areI so
great was it in force that in O. short
time the outlet to the lake was com
pletely checked up, and little or no
water could possible escape. In a
short space OF time the water below
this frozen barrier passed over the
fal!s, and the next morning the people
living in the neighborhood were treat
ed to- most extraordinary spectacle.
The roaring tumbling rapids above
the falls were almost obliteratea, and
nothing but the cold, black rocks were
visible in all directions. The news
quickly spread and crowds OF specta-
tors hocked to- view the scene, the
banks on each side OF the river. being
lined with people during the whole
day. At last there was break in the
ice it was released from it's restraint,
the pent-up wall OF water rushed
downward, and Niagara was itself
again.

ness long while. | have told all my
other patrons what ! now tell you, and
they have all found my every word was
true" Thus spoke a picture auctioneer
to an artist who was meditating an ex-
hibition to be followed by sale of the
pictures. The two events followed one
another, and the prophets words did not
come quite true At the sale there was
a notable absence of the artists friends.
Of the host of them only two or three
who were not among the rich ones
either came OF bought anything. The
others stayed away, saying afterward
that they did not feel well or that they
saw that the artist got good notices and
was bound to do well-as he did. in spite
of them.
There is nothing extraordinary about
this situation. The probability is that
the personal friends of the artists know
them too well and like them too much
to be certain that their Judgment is fair
and reliable when they come to exercise
it in determining the market value of
their work. Once an artist has estab-
ished this value to be great his rich
friends are apt to hunt around and Sc
cure some of the pictures they could
have got cheaper when their presence
would have been grateful to the artist.
The poorer friends must then go without
his work unless they have some that he
gave away when he was younger and
less famous. New York Sun
