GENERAL TODLEBENsS PIPE, NOW
IN NEW YORK
The most interesting pipe in the city
is beyond computation, but at one time it
belonged to Todelben, the great Russian
general, who smoked it in his journeys
and campaigns. ranking it even in 1910 as
curio. When he had suddenly to re-
treat in the Crimean war, he lost it, leav-
ing it in his tent, and it was found by an
English soldier. who, after the close of
the war sent it back to him. But in the
Turko-Russian war he lost the pipe again,
IN much the same way as before, and this
time forever, for 1t came to this country
with an emigrant, the brother of the Turk
who found ii, and fell into the hands of a
pipe expert who identified it, He has had
the wonderful carving on the stem re-
stored at a great cost, and today the pipe

asked to buy plain me5rschaum pipe of
the type that Bismarck most affected. At

claimed for the pipe d power of forecast,
and told him he would serve three empe-
lors as minister and that three impor-

since served three emperors. Two days
before the historic day when he wis re
fused an audience the stem of his pipe
separated and came to pieces. Later he
clipped piece from the side of the bowl,
and within q month he was practically
dismissed by the present emperor. The

the day before the present emperor paid
his famous visit to the great eX-chancei-

about four inches deep. Three or four

As the plants make their appearance,
cultivate again, turning the soil to the

plants are about four inches above
ground, thin out to one stalk in hill.
Continue the cultivation twice each
week, going both ways each time, until
the vines cover the ground. Cultivate
'hallow to avoid breaking the roots.
The best selection for seed will be

The Weight Of Compact Bodies.

The load which is produced by a
dense crowd of persons is generally
taken at eighty to 100 pounds per
square foot and is considered to be the
greatest uniformly distributed load for
which a floor need be proportional.
That this value may be largely ex-
ceeded in an actual crowd was pointed
out by Professor W. C. Kernot, of
Melbourne University, Australia, in a
recent paper before the Victorian In
stitute of Engineers, copied into En-
gineer News. In CT actual trial, q class
of students averaging 1888 pounds
each in weight were crowdeifn lobby
containing 1928 square feet, making
On average floor load of 134.7 pounds.
There was still room to have placed
another man., which would have
brought up the loading to 1881
pounds per square foot. Professor
Kernot also quoted from Stoney, who
placed fifty-eight laborers, averaging
l IS pounds each in weight, in an empty
ship deck.house measuring fifty-seven
square feet floor area. This was load
of 147.4 pounds per square foot. In
anotuer lest, Win seVenty-lnIee laDCr-
ers crowded into a hut nine feet l,y
eight feet eight inches, Stoney pro-
duced a load of 142 pounds per square
foot and estimated that two or three
moro men could have been squeezed in.
It appears from these experiments that
while the figures ordinarily assumed of
eighty to 100 pounds are sufficiently
correct for spaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, say 140 to $50
pounds per square foot, should be used
for railway stations and platforms, en-

A Renewed Danger.

Last year people and press, lire.
spective of party or locality, united
in an earnest attack upon the Louis
lana Lottery as source OF danger 70
public morality and of political cor
raption wherever it came In contact
With State or city affairs 1twas an
nounced that the Lottery Company
had bowed before the storm OF public
opinion, and would not ask q re-
newal of its charter. A great moral
victory seemed to have been galned-t
But now it appears that the COM
pany has only retired to renew Inc
fight from distance. It has bought
an island in the Bay of Honduras,
and may almost be said to have
bought the Honduras government
also-so extensive are the concessions
given it in reGurn for a million dol
lars in gold and large percentage
on all tickets sold.
One might at first thought rejoice
in the removal from our shores OF
this great evil, whose annual profits
of many millions of dollars have been
drawn, dollar by dollar, from almost
every village and city in the United
States; but it is certain that its in
tention is still to subsist on this
country.
International postal laws will per-
NIT it to deluge our mails with sealed
circulars. Even now, despite the
law, lottery advertisements thinly
disguised may be found in half the
theater programs all over the country.
A law making the sending or rccciv-
ing Of lottery tIckets-whether by
mail. express or othcrwIse-a penal
offense has been proposed, and might
meet the danger That some stricter
legislation than now exists is needed
is beyond question.
To learn what ruin follows in the
track of a great lottery read the ac-
counts of the Panama Canal scandal
in France; note that the Hawaiian
revolution followed close after lot
terry bill had been adopted, and mark
the poverty and degradation of the
