Something Pyramid Guides Didn't
Know,

In his autobiography the late Sir W. Sic
mems relates an amusing anecdote, says the
Boston Transcript. An Arab called his attsn-
tion to the fact that when at the top of the
Pyramid of Cheops, when he raised his hand
with fingers outspread, an acute singing note
was heard the sound ceasing as soon as he
let his hand fall. ..--
L found his assertion" he writes. ito be
true. AS soon as raised one of my own fin
gers above my head l felt pricking in the
fingers. That this could only be caused by an
electrical phenomenon was proved by the
slight electrical shock felt on trying to drink
out of a wine bottle So l wrapped full bot
tie of wine that had with me in damp paper
and thus converted 1t into leyden bottle
which was soon strongly charged with cleo
tricity by the simple device of holding it high
above my head The Arabs had already become
d1strustful on seeing small lightnings, as It
WERE issue from the wine bottles held up by
myself and companions, and now held brief
consultation. Suddenly, at a given signal
each Of my companions was seized by the
guide who had led him up, who now tried to
force him to go down again. 1 myself was
standing at the very top of the pyramid
when the sheik Of the Arabs came to me and
told me through my interpreter that the
Arabs had determined that we were at once
to leave the pyramid, because we were
practtclng magic, and it might damage their
chance of earning living
On my refusing to obey orders, the sheik
caught hold of my left hand. l had awaited
this moment, and held up my right hand with
the bottle in the attitude OF a magician after
ward lowering it slowly toward the point of
the Sheiks nose. When quite close to that
feature felt violent shock run through the
bottle to my own arm, and was certain that
the sheik must have received the equivalent
At any rate, he fell speeches. on the stones,
and a few anxious moments passed before he
rose suddenly with loud cry and sprang
down the gigantic steps of the pyramid with
long strides. The Arabs, seeing this and ex-
cited by the sheil5s constant cries of Magicl

The Vigilant differs from former de-
tenders Of the Americas cup principally
in that she is built to ride upon the top of
the water rather than to plow through it.
She has spoon" bow and a long over
hanging counter, and when under head
way raises instead of depressing her head.
Upon the principle of forcing a vessel
over the water instead of through il. a
French engineer has recently invented a
craft which he thinks win revolutionize
the transatlantic passenger traffic. His
vessel is to move upon eight rollers, and
he says his models and calculations show
jhat IL is practicable TO obtain increased
speed oy his system. The resistance Of
the water 20 ship on rollers will be so
Attle that be expects a speed Of thirty
knots an hour His rollers would enter

Yolying ia platform nine feet above the
water He would have screw propellers

tuating all % once.

Might Have Been Worse.

A Denver correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat says that he reached that
city just before the first bank suspension in
the recent financial panic. One OF his first
calls was upon a merchant whose nervous
ness even on ordinary occasions, makes 1t
painful to do business with him. This time,
naturally enough, he was more nervous than
usual. He confessed that he was greatly
worried about the financial condition OF the
city banks and finally, growing communiea-
tive told his caller that he had just drawn out
something more than $1,000 which sum, in
bills. he had put away in what he believed 10
be burglar proof vault.
He told me further that he had made UP
dummy package representing and indeed
counterfeiting, the package of currency,
which dummy he had carefully labeled with
the contents Of the other package. This false
package was in the hinder part OF his cash
drawer, as he showed me.
He explained his peculiar conduct by say
Ing tnat. as several persons had seen him
draw the money, he was afraid his store
might be broken into. If ii was he sala the
burglars would be certain TO find the dummy
package, and being in haste would make of
with 1t, supposing 1t to contain the amount
called for by the label.
l tried TO convince him that the bank was
sound, and that he had taken good deal Of
needless trouble. Before night however. the
bank suspended payment, and when saw my
customer the next day he was chuckling over
his shrewdness.
When got him down to talking business
he suddenly remembered that he owed our
house a few hundred dollars.
Wait a Bit he said, and 1 will get you
the money"
He went to the vault, and in few minutes
came rushing back looking as If lightning had
struck him.
In his hand was what I supposed to be his
roll of bills, but when he threw it on the
counter and rushed headlong to the cash
drawer, Uegan to think he had taken leave
of his senses.
A moment more and the mystery was ex-
pla ned. He had made up the two packages
so exactly alike that he had fooled himself
and had placed roll of brown paper in the
vault, while the package containing more
cash drawer without any protection against
thieves or fire.
His remarks about his own blunder were
abusive in the extreme.

stiu Harping on Compromise.

The friends in the Senate Of the repeal
bill announce that they are standing for
unconditional repeal and will accept
nothing else On the other hand, the
! anti-repealers, with show of bravado,
declare that they will continue TO block
legislation and the win of the people until
their demands are acceded to-
Under this condition of affairs, talk of
compromise continues to be rife. The
anti-repealers will use every effort in
their power to sffect a compromise, in the
absence of accession to their demands,
although they desire it understood that
they are Indifferent to such proposition.
Under the absurd code Of rules of the
Senate the anti-repealers, the minority,
have the decided advantage, even in a
contest of physical endurance such as
Senator Voorhees, proposes shall begin
to-day. They can fight in relays-can
keep two or three obstructionists on the
floor to kill time in talking, while upon
the majority devolves the task of pre-
serving the quorum. Thus the anti-re-
pealers hope to be able to exhaust the
majority, to beat them at their own
game, and pave the way to a compro
mise which shall make liberal concessions
to silver
The effect Of a compromise, it is need
less to say, would be bad 1t would be
almost if not quite as bad as the failure
of repeal. 1t would be an open admission
that the majority is incompetent to do
business, and that half dozen men of dog
ged determination and with capacity to
talk forever without saying anything new
or advancing single acceptable idea can
nullify the will of millions of people. 1t
would cause the public another loss of
confdence-confidenc in the sincerity
and sagacity of their lawmakers. And it
would shake the confidence of the bust
ness community, bringing about another
'object lesson" in hard times similar to
the one of a month or so ago.
1t is noticeable that in the midst of all
the talk about a compromise there has
been no compromise measure suggested
that would command the support of a
modicum of the senator's. Those who
would accept compromise have nothing
to offer that would induce the sticklers
on either side to modify their views one
iota.
This week, however, will probably set
tie all talk of compromise. The contin-
uous session may not do it. In that kind
of a contest, as already pointed out, the
minority have the advantage. But there
are other means to the end, which means
the majority should not longer hesitate
to take advantage of. In our dispatches
of yesterday it was stated that the
Vice President might be succeeded in the
chair, temporarily, by Senator Washburn,
who would refuse to recognize any silver
senator who might rise to speak. That
would amount to an effectual measure of
closure. Should an arrangement of that
kind be carried out both compromise and
anti-repeal would be knocked out; a vote
would be reached and the will of the peo-
pie prevail. And incidentally, Senator
Washburn would be forgiven for much of
his anti-options bill perversity

President Palmer, of the worlds fair,
is making heroic effort for the relief of
his friend, the Duke of Veragua. The
first attempt at raising a Veragua fund
having come to nought, he has deter
mined upon instituting a popular sub
scription, the books to be open in all
parts of the world upon the same day.
Tomorrow, Spanish and Italian day at
the fair, has been selected as the time
for the collection. President Palmer
some time ago sent kilograms to the Pres
idents of South American republics, the
Captain-General of Cuba and Porto Rico
and other Spanish-Americans asking
them to cooperate with him in starting
the subscription.

The yellow fever at Brunswick appears
to be of a different type from the fever of
twenty or thirty years ago. In the cur
rent epidemic the contagiOn seems to dis
criminate against the colored people,
whereas years ago it was an uncommon
thing for black person to have yellow
fever Before the war a black native of
the southern coast country was looked
upon as virtually an immune to the
disease. The causes for this change
should furnish an interesting subject for
investigation by scientists.

The Morse ship, Viking, with Capt.
Andersen in command, will spend the
winter in southern waters. 1t has been
decided that the Viking is to leave Chi
cago by way of the canal into the Illinois
river, passing st. Louis and New Orleans
and proceeding round the coast to Boston,
where she will arrive next spring. Capt.
Andersen states that he would rather
spend the winter down the Mississippi
and in the Gulf of Mexico than to let the
ship stay in Lake Michigan. In the
spring the vessel will be taken to Boston,
whence she will sail for Norway in time
to arrive at Christiania on the Norwegian
independenceda day, May17. 1t is to be hoped
that the Savannah city authorities and
the Historical Society will extend to Capt
Andersen and his crew such a cordial in
vitation to visit this port that they will
be induced to bring their queer and inter
esting craft here for more or less pro
