TOO BAD TO PRINT.
The Royal Mistress of an Army
 Officer.
A MesalIiance Would Have Been Preferred by the Relatives of
 Princess Elizabeth.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 BERLIN, Dec. 29.-The Neue Nachrlch- ten of Munich, on December an- nounced that on the Sunday previous, December 8, at Genoa, Princess Eliza beth, of Bavaria, had been married to Lieutenant Seigfried Auf Puttenheim, of the Bavaria army. The news caused @ decided sensation, as the princess is grand daughter of the emperor of Austria as well as grand daughter of the prince regent of Bavaria.
 But the sensation which the report of the marriage created is as nothing to the consternation caused in imperial and royal circles today by the announce. ment made by the Germania, the chief organ of the clerical party, which de- clares that the Princess Elizabeth was not married to Lieutenant Seigfried and that she is not now married to him although they are living together.
 The Germania adds: "There is other news which is undoubtedly most pain full to the relatives of the princess, but as it is not fit to be published, it is not contained in these dispatches"

Primitive Telegraphy.

The first person to apply to purposes of telegraphy the galvanic battery in vented by Volta, in 1900, was Dr.. Samuel T. Von Soemmering, of Mu- nich. He employed the energy of a powerful voltaic pile to decompose water by means of thirty-fve gold pins immersed in an oblong glass trough. Each of these pin electrodes was in connection with thirty-fve wires forming the telegraph line. The bub- bles evolved by these electrodes were received in figured and lettered tubes corresponding to each pin and the mes sages were thus spelled out. In 1910 he telegraphed over two miles of wire by this primitive method. As each separate pin was immersed it decom- posed a certain portion of water and sent bubbles through it's lettered or numbered tube.

it there is also kept what is called thu Kartoh collection

it there is also kept what is called the Kertch collection,
 Six centuries before Christ, the Greeds founded colonies on the shores of the Black sea. They united with the native Scythians, and Scythian rulers were generally placed over the colonies.
 Outside the gates of the modern town of Kertch there are rows of tombs and mounds. In the year 1880, the Russian government began to care fully examine these tombs, the objects found there-remains of the ancient colonies-being taken to St. Peters burg and placed in the hermitage.
 In 1881, mound was opened called by the Tartars 1.-The Hillock of the Brave" and in room of hewn stone the remains of Scythian king were found, together with those of his wife, his war horse and servant. His gold. en crown and ornaments were there untouched.
 Even the sarcophagus of carved cy- press wood, in which his body was laid, remains undecayed, and the carving and gilt figures upon it are still sharp and beautiful.
 It seems incredible that substance so frail should have endured for more than two thousand years uninjured.
 The gold bars of his shield, the sill yer slaves of his heralds, the collar of twisted gold wire, are to be seen, be- sides many other articles found in his tomb, although large number were stolen at the time of the discovery.
 But still more interesting, and beau tiful were the contents of tomb dis covered Tn 1866, of priestess of Ceres, with all her rich ornaments, and these were all preserved. *a.'
 Most exquisite they are. The gold chains, buttons, bracelets, necklaces. equal the best workmanship of Venice or Florence at the present day. The golden plates from her head-dress are of respousse work of perfect beauty.

SHIPS AND WHALES.
Vessels and Cetacears Collide Sometimes
 with Disastrous Effects


 . The steamship Petersburg, of the Russian volunteer fleet, had a unique exper1ence near Minicoy, in the South Indian ocean, says Chambers Journal. A sharp shock was felt by all on board and she stopped as though gripped in a wise. The sea was found to be colored with the life-blood of two huge whales, which lay floating in their last agony. One was cut through by the steamers S sharp stem and the other killed by re- peated blows of the screw propeller.
 The German steamship Waesland, bound from Antwerp to New York, ran into and killed a sleeping whale. A small steamer, the Kelloe, col lided with whale near Sea ham harbor and wounded it badly. The celebrated yacht Gsnesea narrow ly avoided collision with dead ceta- cean during the jubilee race around our island. In 1889 Shields steam ship, the James Turpie, nearly cut a whale in two one starlight night. The schooner O. M. Marrett was almost wrecked by passing whales in the north Atlantic. Many of the school struck her repeatedly with such vio- lence that her whole hull shook and articles in the officers rooms were thrown to the floor.
 In 1890 a small sailing vessel, the Ocean Spray, bound from Galveston to England, struck sleeping whale and Joroora O, %la 4 the 17th of July, whale fifty feet long made it's appearance close alongside the steamship Port Adelaide, Capt. c. M. Hepworth, R. N. R., in 42 degrees south, 75 degrees east. He followed the vessel for four days, never more than seventy yards away, and general ly close astern. much to the edifcation of numerous passengers. He threw up the sponge in Al degrees south, 97 de grees east, after travelling nine hun dred and eighty statute miles, cer- tainly without resting and apparently fasting.
 In November the ship Earnock, Capt Parson, was under sail in 29 degrees south, 21 degrees west, when a large whale lashed the sea into foam with his tail so near the ship that the chief officer, who happened to be below for ward, came quickly on deck to see what had happened. He actually felt the impact of the water against hel bows.
 In June, 1891, while her majesty's ship immortalite was steaming from Arosa bay to Gibraltar at the rate o1 twelve knots an hour, she stopped short as though a submerged danger had been located. It was presently found that she had cut deeply into 8 whale, and it became necessary to go astern in order to get rid of the incum brance. Four months later the Anchor line steamship Ethiopia collided witt a whale when about eight hundred miles from New York.

TWAS A GOOD STORY.
That Is, When It Was Applied to Some
 Other Fellow.

The Texas congressman usually has a shrewd perception of humor, re- marks the Washington Post. The del egation has corner on half the good stories going, and can lay claim to sev- eral which have got away. A core spondent backed the dean of the dele gation up in a corner the other day and told the following tale:
 "A friend of mine,' said the corre- spondent, ''came up from Texas when the session opened, and as he expected to be here some time he looked around for moderate-priced room, which he located in a nice neighborhood. A motherly old lady showed him the room, which pleased him very much As he was about to leave the room she asked him where he was from.
 "'From Texas, madam
 "sWell, let me show you how this gas works. You turn it on so, and put amatch to it, so; when you get through h turn it off, so.'
 "'But I understand all about gas. We have it at home.'
 "'Yes, but I have had good deal of trouble with Texans about gas, and it doesn't do any harm to show you Turn it on so, and turn it off this way. Don't try to blow it out
 |" But, madam protested my friend, you needn't go to all that trouble. If ii will relieve your mind any, lived in Chicago for six months before coming l here.'
 "'You did, eh? We'll, want you te understand that this is a respectable house, and I won't have any poker playing or drinking and carousing III here.
 ''Haw, haw!" laughed the congress man, ''that is one of the best stories ever heard" and his sides shook witt laughter.
 But" said the cores pendent, "th' boys are sending that story out to-nigh and saying that you are the Texan"
 'The deuce you say. We'll, that is pretty lowdown sort of ayyarn to spil on anybody" grumbled the congress | man.

Not Pleased.

Dr. Boyd, known as "the Country Parson," says in one of his essays that in many Scotch churches the prayers were ''the preleeminaries, listened to, but not joined in.
 He tells an amusing story of the mag istrates of a town who were forced to listen to a prayer in which they could not join.
 MT. Smith was preaching at Drum sleekie. In the coEciuding prayer he suddenly remembered that he had not prayed for the magistrates, sitting ir their official robes before him. So he put in the prayer, just where he was:
 'Have mercy upon all fools and idiots, and especially upon the magis- trates of Drumsleekie."
 He meant no evil, but the magistrates were not pleased Companion.

AFRAID OF THE REBELS.
No Naval Battle Until the Torpedo
 Boats Come

Boats Come.
 RIO DE JANETRo, Dec. 29-Inquiries were made today in government circles as to the cause of the governments inaction in regard to the Nictheroy and the America. It is reported that both vessels have been delayed at the ports where they arrived on account Of in trigues of agents of Mello. In reply it was officially stated that the govern- ment does not intend to attack the rebel war ships uutil after the arrival of the torpedo boats purchased in Germany, as the government force is not consid. cred strong enough to engage the rebel fleet until the endorsements arrive. Representatives of the government were asked how it was that tho e vesselsW hich sailed several weeks ago and were due here some time ago have not vet reached Brazil. The reply was that the torpedo boats had undoubtedly been delayed by storms and two weeks more might elapse before they reach tfe coast of Brazll. Cana has not made any progress worth mentioning since the last dispatches were sent and nothing new of importance has occurred up to the hour this dispatch was sent.

RUSSIAN EXPLORATIONS,
The Government Is W Vell Supplied with
 Reliable Maps.

The Government Is Well Supplied with
 Reliable Maps.
 A vast but fascinating problem con- fronts Russia on her Chinese frontier problem which cannot be disposed of in one or even two generations. No power, however, knows better how to wait than Russia. Time is on her side, and as the necessary preliminary to all wise action is knowledge, the Russian general staff has been making the full est use of the opportunities which treaties afforded to gain accurate in- formation concerning the Chinese ter ritories and everything appertaining thereto.
 Not a corner of the whole empire, save what comes within the sphere of influence of the French, but has been intersected by Russian government ex- plorers and armed expeditions during the past thirty years
 These explorers, include botanists and geologists. of course, but the mill tary expert and the skilled topographer are the animating soul of these expe- ditions.
 Occasional glimpses into their pro- ceedings are allowed to the world, but every fact of military or political sig nifcance is carefully conserved in the archives of the Russian intelligence department.
 The minute information concerning all the northern and western territo- ries of China, which is now in the pos session of the Russian staff, is not only such as no other power possesses, but is incomparably superior to anything in the hands of the Chinese govern. ment itself.
 Hence it is that whenever question of boundaries arises Russia is prepared with elaborate maps of the regions, tc which Cuba has not only nothing to oppose, but which she is not even able to criticise.

An Old Orchard.

In 1794 Joshua Pine settled on a farm near Walton, N. Y., and planted a fine orchard. Although it was near ly ninety-nine years ago when the trees were first planted, they do not show much signs of their great age, and number of the trees are yet wig orous, giving promise of many years of life and fruitage. The largest meas ures 11714 inches in circumference, the next largest 105 inches, and another 102 inches, allof which are bearing good crop of fruit this year.

Army Service.
 A quietly attired little gentleman" attracted good deal of attention while walking along Washington street, Boston, few days ago. There was something about the little pedes- trian that made men and women turn and take second look. It was not his costume at which they gazed, for there was nothing in the least ex- traordinary or unusual in the tall hat, the cape overcoat or the doeslzin trousers. But there was something particularly feminine in the expres- sion of the face, the lines of which bore not the slightest trace of masculinity. Pinned on to his coat, too, he wore what appeared to be grand army badge oi unusually large size. The
