SANITY Race Horses.

Said one of a group of turfmen in the
cafe of the Brewer House a night or two
ago: 81 shut up an old chap who was
railing against the wickedness Of racing
horses yesterday, and he was shut up so
tight that he stayed shut as long as l
was about. 1t was on the ferry cross
ing to go to the track, and he was hold
ing forth at "A great rate to three young
men who sat near him and who had been

appear to mind his lecture-in fact, they
seemed to rather enjoy it-but neverthe-
less I thought I'd chip in and make a
bluff at shutting off his steam.

could, Sir, you must be in error about
the utter wickedness of the turf, because
this little book shows that many racing

Remarkable Escapes From Death of Mon
Kings Within the Past Year.

Remarkable Escapes From Death of Money
Kings Within the Past Year.
"Quite a number of men of millions
have had narrow escapes from sudden
death during the past year or So" re-
marked a Wall street man in the lobby
of the Windsor hotel the other evening.
81 was reminded of the fact a few days
ago by the report in the newspapers Of
the narrow escape George GoulI had
from a quick death by the premature
discharge of his gun while hunting in
the Adirondacks.
Russell Sage started the ball rolling
by escaping the bomb of Norcross. Mr..
Sage had a narrow escape, indeed, but
not more so than did William K. Van
derbilt, who barely saved himself a year
ago when his big yacht Alva went down
at night. Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt just
escaped death from a train of cars about
the same time. Then John w. Mackay,
the California bonanza king, was shot at
and wounded by Rippey, aSan Francisco
crank, who fancied he had Deer wronged
by the money king.
sc. T. Yerkes, the Chicago cable king,
was in a railroad wreck out west short
ly after Mr.. Mackay's escape from being
murdered. A passenger sitting in front
Of Mr.. Yerkes was instantly killed, but
the cable king got out of the wreck with
out a scratch. Eddie Gould is reported
to have had a narrow escape from death
year ago while doing guard duty with
the Seventh regiment. MI. George Van
derbilt was almost drowned in his pri-
vate bath at Newport a short time ago.
He was rescued by a young lady, the
newspapers reported. John Jacob Astor
had a narrow escape aboard his yacht in
a collision in New York waters recently,
and a son of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
was seriously injured while following
the hounds at Newport, his horse falling
and throwing him against a wall. Men
of millions are lucky in other things than
making money, you see."-New York

To Preserve Cranes.

A French method of preserving grapes
in something very close to their natural
condition has some interest at this sea-
son. Shoots of the vine, bearing, say,
two punches of sound grapes each, are
placed in bottles OF vases filled with wa
ter containing charcoal in solution. The
bottles are then hung along the edges of
notched shelves in a dry place. 1t is said
that if the water be renewed from time
to time grapes S treated will keep in
good condition into April.

Americas Army of Railroad Men.

The latest statistics show that there
are sci 400 men engaged in the operation
of railroads in the United States. This
implies a force three-fourths as large as
the army of Germany, six times as large
as that of Great Britain and more than
80 times as large as that of our own coun-
try. 1t is u~ndeniably the most intelli-
gent and effective labor element in the
world, and it is also, as it deserves to be,
the best paid, its average annual wages
being twice as great as those of the same
class of workmen, or in fact any other
class of workmen, anywhere else under
the sun.-Globe-D Democrat.

ton of the Appalachian chain-that is.
he supposed that the heat and pressure
accompanying the Appalachian eleva-
ton, acting most vigorously zeal the
axis, had distilled and removed the vola-
tile matter of the coal bed nearest it.
To adjust the theory of increasing
facts, Professor Lesley added the sup
position that the heat involved in this
theory was brought up by conduction
when the superintendent layers of rock
were extremely thick, which have since
been mainly removed by the erosive
agencies which have been active over the
region for millions of years. The in
adequacy of these theories has led Pro-
fessor j. j. Stevenson of the University
of New York to PROFOUND another and
simpler theory, which was ably defended
by him at the recent meeting of the Geo.
logical Society of America.
He would account for the lack of vola-
tile matter in anthracite coal by the sim
pie fact that it had been longer exposed
to that kind of decay which takes place
in vegetable matter when immersed in
water, and which consists chiefly in the
loss of the hydrocarbons which consti-
tute the volatile elements in bituminous
coal. On this supposition the anthracite
beds are those which were formed ear
lest in the swamps and lagoons of the
carboniferous period and remained long
est devoid of the covering Of sedimentary
deposits, which subsequently preserved
them from further change. This theory
is confirmed by the fact that there is no
such strict relation of the anthracite
beds to the Appalachian axis of eleva-
ton as Professor Rodgers had supposed
and by many other considerations which
Professor Stevenson is about to publish.
This simple seems adequate to &C.
count for all the phenomena and proba-
bly, solves one of the long standing mys-
teries of geological science.-Independ.

Music the Kernel of Welsh Nature.
Music is the very soul and kernel of
the Welsh nature. A musical ear is the
national birthright. Every Welsh preach
er who migrates to an English church
finds the greatest difficulty in a~bstaining
from that weird, peculiar information of
his sermon which is known as the hwyl,
and which is often strange and objection
able to English ears.
A remarkable and subtle fact which
will be interesting to English readers
and at the same time significant of the
sensitiveness of the Welsh musical ear
is that it is positive discord to many
among the Welsh congregations if the
minister, in "giving out" the first verse
of the hymn, does not SO pitch his voice
that it shall be in harmony with the key
in which the tune has preliminarily been
played by the instrumentalist. Yves
