In order to furnish light for work
men engaged in repairing a break IN
one of the lower compartments of the
tank steamer Kasbek novel expert
ment was tried with wonderful success
Wednesday. The steamer is loading
bulk oil at Marcus hook for German
port, and slight leak was discovered
in one of her tanks. 1t was unsafe to
use lamps of any kind, because of the
danger of fire, the tanks being full of
gas generated from the remnants of
previous cargoes, and Captain Briggs
decided to try and defect solar light
twenty-seven feet down into the lark
hold. He procured number of high
ly polished plate-glass mirrors, and,
after several attempts, succeeded in
stationing some members of the crew
in such positions as to reflect the sun s
rays from the mirror into the hold.
In several instances the rays had to
pass through small manholes, a few
inches in diameter, from where they
were localized with lenses and magni-
fed after reaching the compartment
where the repairs were to be made. In
this unique manner food of bright
light at loasi ten feet square was
thrown over the leaking joint and held
there while group of machinists
thoroughly repaired the weak spot

Completion Of the Mont Blanc Oh.
seryatOry.

The observatory on the top OF
Mont Blanc, Switzerland, is at last
completed. The work was facilitated
by the use of windlasses, which drew
the materials up the icy slopes. Some
of the builders remained on the sum.
NIT for twenty days, the August
weather being very favorable. The
construction of the observatory was
begun over two years ago. The
builders hoped to cut through the ice
cap to solid rock, but this was found
to be impossible, after they had gone
down distance of thirty or forty feet.
So at last it was determined to let the
building stand upon the ice and snow.
The observatory was made in Sec
tions at Paris, under the immediate
direction of Mr.. Jansen. The pieces
were transported to Rochers.Rouges
on the backs of men, and were finally
brought to the summit by the aid of
windlasses. The building is thirty
eight feet high, but only one-third is
above the snow. The upper story is
used exclusively for observatory pur-
poses. while the lower stories shelter
attendants and parties of tourists.
The observatory rests on ten heavy
screws, so that the building can be
easily leveled. The interior is lighted
by small dormer windows with double
panes of thick glass. All wood used
in the construction is fireproofed, and
all necessary precautions against fire
have been taken. Anthracite coal will
be burned. 1t is seldom that the cold
exceeds thirty-two degrees below zero.
The observatory will be occupied from
May to November, and great deal is
expected from the self-registering in
struments during the winter. If pos
sible, it is intended to connect the in
struments with Chamounix by cleo
tricity, but no steps toward this end
have been taken yet. M. Jansen wa,
carried to the top of Mont Blanc last
year in litter borne by thirteen por-
ters. The new observatory will enable
scientists to carry out important ex-
periMents and observations in physics,
meteorology, spectrum analysis and
vegetable and animal physiology

In the city. In word, Fook is train
ing to race, says the Los Angeles,
(Cal.) Herald.
Some months ago Fook, with the
uudacity of an oriental hcathcn,
walked into n prominent cycling es-
tablishment and said he had s,me to
buy bicycle.
After the clerks had recovered from
the shock wheel was brought out.
Fook sized up the silent steed immedi-
ately, and said that was just the one
he wanted. He paid the bill and
pushed the wheel to his place of
abode.
When the shades of evening began
to fall he grasped his trusty steed and
ambled forth, to do or to die. He
conquered the thing and soon was
seen winding through the throngs of
vehicles upon the streets.
Then his cousin-in Chinese his
brother-becamc so infatuated that he
too, purchased wheel. A week or
two ago All Lee did likewise, so that
now Los Angeles has the peculiar dis
tinction of raising Chinese bicycle
riders.
But Wong Fook has taken a step in
advance of his brother celestials. He
has donned "Melican" bicycle clothes
and begun training with view to ra-
cling. For the last two weeks Fook has
been riding regularly upon the track
at Athletic Park.
The local riders were somewhat
amazed at the appearance of the
Chinese among their ranks, and some
OF them refused to train while John
remained upon the track. But the
prejudice against him soon wore away
and his intelligent unobstrusive con-
duct brought him friends.
Fook can make good race, al
though he has been training but few
weeks. His best mile was made close
TO the three minute mark, while he
made quarter the other day in about
forty-five seconds.

Two S.ories OF "Stonewali" Jackson.

CAS- an illustration of 'Stonewall'
Jacksons belief in the matter of alb
solute obedience to the letter of an
order" said Confederate veteran TO
the Louisville Courier-Journal, I
have heard story told of an incident
that occurred during the Mexican War.
General Jackson was then lieutenant
of artillery, commanding section
composed of two guns In n certain
action he was ordered to occupy GER
tain position and open fire upon the
enemy. His two guns were started
for the place, which was worry exposed,
and before reaching it he saw that he
could not remain there ten minutes
without losing every horse and man
he had. AT the same time he saw that
by moving some 800 yards away his
fire would be more effective. But his
orders to open fire must be obeyed, so,
reaching the designated position, the
two guns were fired. Then they were
limbered up and moved to the new po-
sition, and fire wns opened in earnest
and with effect.
81 could tell of several incidents in
which Jackson figured" he continued,
(Which came under my notice while
student at the Virginia Military Insti-
tute, where Jackson was professor.
L remember once how n student tried
to kill him. Some fellow-I forget
against Jackson. He took bag which
was used to hold soiled clothes and
filed it with bricks. His room was in
the top story of the building, and one
day as Jackson was passing under his
window he dropped the bag of bricks.
1t passed 80 close to Jackson that IL
grazcd his cap, fitting it to one side.
Without pnusing or looking around, he
Strengthened his cap and passed on as
fon parade, the only notion he seemed
to take of the occurrence being to step
over several of the bricks that had
rolled out of the bag. Several of us
who were near rushed up to him, re-
marking upon his GOODNESS. "Gentle-
men," said he, "the bricks we're on the
ground when saw them. They could
not hurt me then"
