A WONDERFUL DEATH.
The remarkable Taktng-oH of zenith,

King of Scotland.
The death of Zenith, the half-myth-
ical king Of Scotland. was one of the
most remarkable in all history, that is,
If it can consistently be called an his
torical fact According to the story,
Zenith had killed son and brother OF
the war-lilSe Fennella. She, to be re
venged, caused \Viltus, the most in.
genious artist OF the time, to fashion
an automatic death-dealing machine, a
wonderful statue filled with hidden
springs, levers, etc. When finished
and set up this ''brazen image was an
admirable work of art.
In its right hand it held basin and
in the left an apple of pure gold, both
set with diamonds and other precious
stones. To touch this apple was to
defy death, it being so ARA nged that
anyone guilty of such vandalism
would be Immediately rid died by poi
soned arrows shot from loop holes in
the body of the statue. ZENITH was
invited to come and inspect the won
der, and, king-like and just as Fennella
had hoped, he tried to pluck the pre-
cious imitation fruit. The moment his
hand touched the encrusted jewel he
was filled with poisoned arrows, dy.

Alaska's Mighty River Is to Be Used for
Commerce.
The Yukon river is now to be made
the scene Of commerce, and will soon
be navigated by regular side wheel
steamers. The idea is to run regular
boats up and down the Yukon river for
the purpose of trade and connecting
at St Michaers island with the Sound
steamers The new steamer, which is
to be called the P. b. Weare, had her
frame laid out and fitted at Seattle
She will be put together on St.
Michaels island will be ITS feet in
length, twentyeight feet beam and
four feet deep.
The Weare will run up the Yuko n
river, the mouth of which is about
twenty-five miles from the island, and
for Il distance of 2, 800 miles will estab-
fish tra,:.ns posts along the river. The
trade Will pe of all kinds of merchan-
disc, and the returns will be in gold
dust and furs. There will be also q
complete assaying outfit on the steam
err, and everything that miner can
use in testing and taking out valuable
III neral from the are.
a sawnill will be taken along for
the purpose of cutting timber for trad
ing stations. The Yukon river is only
aavigable during July, August and
September, and, for the present, only
three or four trips may be made dur
ing the year.

An African lion in Central park, hav-

show. He came to the park menag-
erie two months ago, with the elephant
the boa constructor and the antelope.
The circus often sends such animals
to the park tor the winter. The Gle.
plant and the boa constructor thrived
and grew fat; the antelope languished;
the lion p,ned away. His eyes were
dull and sad, and the keepers saw he
was suffering. but he did not roar or
cry.
About two weeks ago he began to
stagger up and down his cage. 81 II
mis- legs were too weak for his body.
Then. instead OF walking on the uu-
der part Of his toes. no doubled them
and walked on his talons. When Felix
Mcdonald, the superintendent OF the
circus menagerie. called at the park,
attention was called to the lions con.
dition. he decided that the lions
brain was affected. and that he must
be killed.
Chloroform was chosen at hrst. but
after more deliberation it was decided
to shoot him. At 2 o'clock one
afternoon the execution took pl ace
The keepers gathered in front of the
cages and stood there with grave faces.
The lion had stretched himself out to
his full length, four feet from nose to
tail tip, and his eyes were turned full
upon the men. He was as motionless
as a bronze figure. One Of the keep
ers raised rifle and held the muzzle
within a few feet of the lions ear.
There was flash and loud report.
The lions head fell an d remained mo-
tionlcss The shot had . ierced his
brain. and had killed him.
The skull was opened, and it was
found that the lions brain was thick
with blood clots.

Handwriting on Lon,

1t was fortunate accident that led
to the discovery of the method of
transferring handwriting to iron. An
iron founder while experimenting
with molten iron under difficult con-
ditions. accidentally dropped ticket
into the mold. He presently found
that the type of the ticket was trans
ferred to the iron in distinct CAR
acters Following up the idea which
this fact suggested. he procured a
heat-proof ink, with which he wrote
invertedly on ordinary white paper
This paper was introduced into the
mold before the molten iron was
poured in. When the mold cooled the
paper had been consumed by the heat
but the ink, which remained intact,
had left clear impression on the iron.

Worthy Of Witch Burning Days.

A Kentucky Baptist minister says
that some years ago Baptist church
in that state tried man for kissing
his wife. The formulated charge was
entered "Unbe coming levity." The
gentleman accused had been from
home several weeks on business and
on his return met his wife at the meet
ing house, and in the presence Of the
congregation embraced her with a
sounding smack on the lips. Some Of
the staid old deacons were so shock ed
at such levity in the house OF God that
the gentleman was arraigned on the
above charge, and escaped dismissal
from the church by agreeing to do his
kissing at home in the future
