A NEW FRUIT CRATE.

Il new fruit crate invented in Cali
fornia is thus described by the San
Francisco Chronicle; In using these
fruit carriers no skilled labor, no paper
wrapping Is needed. Each tier In the
crate carries at least four s~elf-contain-
ed pasteboard boxes. These boxes are
closed over top and bottom, The
lower portion is perforated and the
upper portion is not only perforated,
but there are from four to six circular
or oval depressionS which are slit ra-
daily so that the wcdge-Shaped pieces
of cardboard hold the fruit as soon
as it is gently pressed irto place. BY
thus keeping each pear, apricot, peach,
orange, lemon, apple, etc, in a de-
preston Of its own bruis!ng is impos-
sible, and no amount Of shaking can
dlsplace the fruit. Between each tier
of boxes there Is n thin perforated
cardboard tray, so that air can circu-
late all around each piece of fruit in
each carrier MS well as though it hung
ON the tree. The depressions which re-
ceiye the fruit being Of different sizes,
the fruit is graded at once according
to the carrier it fits. The upper surface
Of each box can be decorated for use
in retail trade, and for foreign mar
kets this is essential. as the package
itself must be attractive, no matter
how fine the fruit may be. The paste
board box is of such size that it makes
a neat parcel. The fruit need never
be touched by the hand from the mo-
ment it is taken from the tree and put
in the box until 1t Is placed On the
table to be eaten. In this way the half
dozen landings are done away with
and the fruit is In just so much sounder
and freSher condition. The fact that
the boxes are all collapseable is well
worthy Of mention, as when collapsed
they take up little room and so can
be shipped in large numbers to the
growers.
The style Of crate required for these
cardboard filters weighs n pound less
than the old style OF crate Of the sam1
size, thus making a saving Of 1900
pounds to the car.

BREAKS" OF A SCULPTOR,

An Equestrian Group That Is All But
Perfect.
Having not remotely had occasion to
.ook with critical eyes upon an impos-
ing artwork of home production, Chi
cage viii read Of the breaks that
European artists make with additional
interest. A Paris letter in the St.
James Gazette says;
Since the national fete the outside
attractions Of Paris have been in
creased by the addition of a colossal
equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, which
has been temporarily erected in front
of the Palais de TIndustrie on the
Champs Elysees. This immense work
/ by NJ. ROul-eau, end is intended for
the permanent establishment OF the
town of Chinon. In the plaster it was
one Of the most coIs' cuouS works Of
sculpture in last yea $ salon, the
Maid of Orleans, waving a sword in
her right hand and a banner bearing
the tieur de lis in her left, is repre-
scented as leaping over the bodies of
several English warriors, a very bold
effect being produced by the position
of the horse, which is poised on its
fOrelegs, with its headquarters well up
in the air n strong support being art
fully concealed under the animals
girths. Needless to say that this snowy
work Of art has-favored by an almost
unbroken spell Of fine weather, which
still continues-proved the object OF a

tai The ericOmiums passed upon the
patriotic group by those eaSily-pleased
critics are not, however. shared by a
cavalry general, who contributes to a
morning paper a highly amusing criti-
cism of the horse and rider from n
purely technical point Of view. The
gross ~inaccuracy of representing Joan
charging the enemy with the vizor of
her helmet up the writer excuses on the
ground that, of course, the face of the
heroine could not well in a statute
remain concealed. He, however, Sc
verely condemns the chain-mail neck
piece, which looks, he declares, as
though Joan of Arc had enveloped her
throat in a shawl on account Of a
bad cold. A mantle flying from the
shoulder Of the heroine is also con-
52mned by the military critic, who
asks what earthly use such a garment
could be to a person-whether male
or female-completely enclosed in

BRITISH NAVAL FAILURES.
The Fleet Of Torpedo Catchers Is
Dismal Failure.

The Fleet Of Torpedo CatcherS Is a

news in connection with naval maneuy-
ers is reported by a correspondent.
says the London Standard. He states
that when ordered to accompany the
Royal Sovereign at ful. speed the tor

latest of an immense class of vessels.
nearly thirty in number, which mas
been turned out by the admiralty TO
perform a specific duty. The torpedo
catchers are small boats of from 700
TO $50 tons, with engines Of from 1900
10 4.5oO-horSe power. They are in
tended to be the British rep,y to the
very large force of torpedo boats
which the French have placed in the
channel and in the Mediterranean.
The theory is that in anything ap-
preaching to a Seaway they will run
down and destroy the feetest torpedo
boat. Their speed is supposed to vary
from 10 10 q knots, As a matter of
fact, says the Pail Mall Gazette, the
whole c-ass, with scarcely an exeep-
ion, is a notorious and dismal failure.
Few Of the catchers can average 10
knots; many have failed to maintain
an even lower speed. Their tunnels
become red hot when their boilers are
being pushed, and tongues of flame
from their furnaces Indicate their ap-
proach at night. The French have
many torpedo boats capable Of run
ming % knots and upward. To set a
vessel like the Niger to catch one of

is to he regretted that in building six
ships Of the Hawk class, vessels of
215 tons and 5000 horsepower, with
out trying one boat of the series, the
admiralty are repeating the fault that
has incumbered the navy list with over
a score Of failures Of the Niger type.

that, with the rigidity Of her body as
represented in the statue, she could
not possibly escape being thrown for
more than a few minutes, Moreover,
she has allowed the reins to slip on
the horses neck so that there is moth
ing to prevent its falling over the first
obstacle 1t encounters. Then the speed
as indicated by the position Of horse
and rider is out Of all proportion to
the weight of armor, and TO the heavy
c%arthorse build of the animal; the har-
ness is incorrect, and the bit IS in
an impossible position in the horses
mouth. The general concludes by
charitably observing that Joan of Arc,
the horse, and the trappings are all
wrong, but that otherwise the equestri-
an group is perfect.

CLAY TABLETS.
Why TranSlators Have Found Difficult
~ in Understanding the Writing
Thereon.

The clay of which the Tell Amarna
tablets are composed differed greatly
in different regions, says the Edin-
burgh Review. DIR. Behold says: In
color the tablets vary from a light to
n lark-duSt tint, and from n flesh-color
TO dark rick-red. The nature of the
clay Of which they are made some.
times indicates the countries from
which they come. No. /, a draft of a
letter from Amenophis Ill. 10 Kafim,
masin, is made of finely kneaded Nile
mud; others are Of the dark-red clay
which is met with In the north OF
Syria; five of Ribadda'S letters are
written on the yellow clay which Is
common on the Syrian coast The
tablets from Shubandi, Widya and
Shuardata contain fragments Of flint"
OF the shape Of the tablets he says,
''The greatest number are rectangular
and q few are oval, and they differ
in shape from any other cunclform
documents known to us. Some are fat
on both sides, some are convex on both
sides and some are plllow-shaped. Com
pare the name given to such tablets
by the Arabs, mekhadid or pillows "
The tablet having been kneaded into
shape, was inscribed while the clay
was damp. by the use of wooden stylus;
and the diverse having been written,
the tablet was supported by som(
means while the back was IN use. In
the case of some cuneiform tablet
holes are found in the corners, which
were made by pins of wood OF which
they rested, so as to prevent the writ
ten surface from being obliterated
while the reverse was being inscribed;
but these pinholes do not seem to oc

Some Of the letters are divided into
paragraphs by ruled lines, which are,
however, not always truly horizontal.
The royal letters, which are the most
carefully written, have well-shaped
symbols in true horizontal lines, but
many Of the tablets from Syria seem
to have been hastily written and are
often very crooked. The care, however,
that was taken by the scribe is evil

has introduced of unfinished words,
to which a syllable or more Is added
by insertions between the lines, while
in other cases words, or even whole
lines have been erased by smoothing
out the writing, other signs having
been substituted, or in some cases
the space has been left blank.

Wnen, therefore, tr%anslators, who
have found difficulty In understanding
what was written, have supposed that
the fault lay with the carelessness OF
the original scribe, we a only re-
gard such a ]supposition as indicating
the self-suiiciency which is a com

modern scholars, who are convinced
that If there be any errors II cannot

A JACK Inn.
Demolition Of a Hosiery Familiar to

teyrurs of the examination room, for
il was customary for them TO adjourn
to its hospitable bar and duly inscribe
the names of the fortunate medicos
in a register kept in the house for that
purpose, Among the signatures to be
seen are those of James paget and
Andrew Clarke, together with many
others who have since attained celebri-

CHEWED THE RINGMASTER,
Another Animal at Hagenbeck's Makes
a Meal of His Keeper.

Hagenbeck's carnivora, says a Chi
cage paper, tried again last night to
make a meal off one of the two-legged
actors in the grand geological perfor-
nance. Fritz Mas, one of the ami
ma. trainers, was the victim and a
brown-muzz.e black bear assailed him.
1t was in that scene where mans
mastery over the brute creation is
portrayed that one Of the four-legged
performers demonstrated the fact that
there are exceptions to the rue, There
were a whole collection Of animals in
Tie arena, a leopard, lion, dogs, mon
keys, and other beasts, with a sturdy
little black bear, who essayed the
roe Of clown in the circus they gave
under the supervision of the ringmas-
ter, Fritz Mas.
The clown didn't appear to be in
jolly humor when let into the arena
and so surly was he that he made
the happy family anything but a joy
Gus aggregation Of quadrupeds.
He Snarled and was surly, wouldn't
obey the commands Of Mas and fl
naly, while sitting on a stool, reached
out for the leopard and spatting him
with his right paw knocked him out
with the first blow, Then the bear
got off his stool to sit down on the
leopard and Trainer Mas interfered.
The clown bear turned on him, Civ
Ing him a terrific blow, knocked him
down and then bounding upon him
SINK his teeth into his shoulders.
Several keepers rushed in, beat the
bear off his prey, and dragged Mas
without the irOn-railed arena. Mas
was badly wounded and was bleeding
p~rofusely from the wound. The flow
Of blood was stanched, and a physician
being called Mas was given over to
his care. At the time Of the onslaught
by the bear the amphitheater was
filed with spectators. They becI ?
greatly excited and began rushing pell
nell out Of the building, though safe
from attack by the animals. As soon
as the clown bear doWned the ring
master the other animals showed a dis
p~osition to make a melee Of 1t and
get at each other prOmiscuOusy. The
quick advent Of assistant keepers Ia
the ring subdued the animals, and
- or allowed themselves to be driven
ont ef the arena without any demon
stration beyond a snarl or two. Even
the bear. which was dragged out, made
no other resistance than planting his
feet firmly to keep from going.
