TO LIFT NAPLES.

G0KI00GI
Elevated Railway There.
If the scheme elaborated by an Ital-
ian engineer for the construction of
an elevated railway in Naples is car
ried into execution Italy will, accord
ing to the Electrical Review, possess
one of the most remarkable structures
in the world. AS far as length is con-
cerned the projected line Is not of
great importance, but the boldness Of
the idea and its originality are strilS-
ing. Let the imagination conceive the
hilly portion of town connected by
means of viaducts and towers, with
that part lying at low level, and the
substance of A. Avena's project will
then be readily understood. The hand
some and populous part of Naples,
radiating from Via Roma, has only
communication with the Corso Wit
torio Emmanuele, the San Martino
hill, and the tat a still higher level)
new Rione del Vomero by means Of
narrow, tortuous streets. many of
them being impracticable for carriage
traffic. 1t is between these two ex-
treme localities that the proposed ele-
waited railway is to form connection.
The line is to be carried on two metal.
lie viaducts, each divided so as to form
q double way, one for the operation of
electric cars and the other for pedes-
trians. A masonry tower s25 feet high
is to be built in the Via Roma, and
from this the first viaduct, 1,lS0 feet
long, will be carried to the Corso Wit
torio Emmanuele, where it will termi-
nate in the base of a metallic tower
400 feet in height. The second via
duct, $50 feet long and branching out
of this tower some distance below the
summit, will pass over the San Mar
tino hill and end in the ground level
at the new Rione del Vomero. The
viaducts will be carried on pyramidical
metallic towers having masonry foun-
'dations; and the masonry tower at
the beginning of the first viaduct and
the metallic tower, connecting the
two viaducts, will each be provided
with staircases and capacious lifts for
conveying passengers up and down.
Passengers entering the cars at either
end of the line will not be compelled to
change their seats on arriving at the
metallic tower, as the cars will be au-
tomatically placed on the lifts for as
cending or descending from the high
est viaduct, when the cars will con-
tinue their way to either terminus.
Generating stations will be provided at
each terminus for producing current
for lighting and power purposes. The
undertaking, q concession for which
has been granted, would provide y
splendid view of the whole of Naples.

DULL TIMES IN ENGLAND.
British Exports and Imports Nave Fallen
on Heavily This Year.

British Exports and Imports Nave Fallen
on Heavily This Year.
An English paper, the Manchester
Union, gives this synopsis of trade con-
ditions:
England has suffered from dull times,
as have France, Hermany aid other
European countries, without regard to
their tariff policies. The aggregate
loss in the export trade this year, MS
compared with the first nine months
of 1892, is given at almost sS0, ,000, 600.
But the falling off in imports is much
greater still, amounting to e75, 200, 900,
showing that dull times had prevented
the British from buying since they
could not sell. This falling off in Brit
ish imports by 375, 5000 in nine
months gives one good reason why
wheat is but little above 60 cents a
bushel in Chicago. The exports OF
British coal fell of e10,oo0,0 900 in the
first nine months of this year rs
compared with the year before. In
cotton yarns the export dimin-
ished by over 25,000, 900 pounds and
in cotton piece goods by $50. .oo0, 600
yards, as compared with the exports In
1899. While this shows q heavy inn
mediate loss to manufacturers and to
labor. it is indicative, however, of de-
creased stocks Of cottons in purchasing
countries, unless other manufacturing
countries have met the deficiency in
the English trade, which does not ap-
pear reasona BILE in face of the large
stocks of raw cotton that are available.
In textile fabrics tho exports decreased
by nearly $4,000, 900, and in woollen
and worsted yarns by nearly q, o00, 900,
and in woollen goods by $500, 900.
Metal goods, hardware and cutlery all
fell of in quantity and value; tin
plate exports decreased by nearly
$500, 900, smaller purchases by the
United. States representing the full
amount of the decline. The exports o!
manufactures in iron and steel repre-
sent loss of 81 ,0Oo. 900; Of machinery
the same amount; articles Of wearing
apparel. shop goods and articles for
personal use decreased to the extent OF
81, ,0O0, 900, with smaller losses in ex-
ports of glass, cement and paper. The
export trade in earthen ware and oils
increased somewhat.

MAKING LIQUOR IN JAIL.

A oecret Service Mans Discovery OF .
Colorod Prisoners Trick.
''If you want to see some queer
things" said q secret service officer,
whose speciality is internal revenue
cases, addressing q New York Sun
man, you ought to travel with me for
. few weeks. You would soon make
up your mind to one thing-that when
a man wants drink he will have it.
No law in the world will prevent him.
It's all very well to say. Suppose the
man is locked up in jail?' but that
won't stop him if he is man of intel
ligence and wants drink very badly.
l ran across q case down south last
summer that illustrates the simplest
and crudest way of producing alcohol.
I had been spending some weeks in
central Tennessee and had run down
the Bill Maverick gang of moonshiners
and landed them all in jail-six OF
them. They were very smart lot and
for safekeeping they were put in sep
arate cells. About two weeks after
the arrest, when had to return to tes-
tify in the case, I went into the Jail,
(that was the name was going by at
the time), there's whisky In the Jail.
believe your moonshiners are max
ing it.
"'Like enough told him; they
know how. Just shift them into new
quarters at dinner, and see what we
can find in their cells
"While my prisoners were kept in
another part of the Jail we examined
their cells thoroughly, but there was
not q sign OF q still, nor of any whisky
stored away. So we had to find q
fresh clew. It was a well-managed
Jail, and was reasonably sure that
the liquor was not smuggled init was
most likely made on the premises. !
found by making inquiries that the
prisoner who oftenest showed the ef-
fects of drinking was an intelligent
colorcd man, who had been put in
charge of the storeroom. His business
was to serve out the raw food to the
cooks and keep the storeroom in order.
"'That's my mani l said to myself,
and had him locked in his cell and
went into the storeroom. It was just
as expected. He had q dozen fruit
jars full of corn beer so strong that
about two glasses of it would go to an
old drinkers head. It was very easily
made; he had only to make mixture
of molasses and water, start it fer
| menting by adding little yeast, and
then throw in few handfuls of corn

how to make corn beer. Afte ferment

to twenty per cent ofalcohol. He haG

CONDENSED HER OUTING.

Plucky Stenographer.s Pilgrimage to Lon
doa and Paris In Three Weeks Time.
! It takes New York girl to overcome
obstacles, says Helen Combes in Kate
Fields Washington. One of them who
is earning her living as stenographer
has been for long time saving her
spare money with view to visiting
Europe this year. She had enough
when vacation time came to carry out
her cherished project, but, alas. she
found that not day over three weeks
leave of absence would be granted her.
She did not dare throw up her position,
as she knew from experience that good
places are hard to get.
Right here is where most girls would
have given in to the force of circum-
stances and spent the vacation in
America. Not so the plucky little
stenographer. She left the Office .
Saturday morning in August. went on
board one of the fast steamers and In
exactly q week landed in Liverpool.
Taking q night train she arrived In
London bright and early Sunday
morning and proceeded to "do the
town." She saw the tower, West
minister, st. Paul's, houses OF parlia-
mcnt, the national gallery and host
of other things before leaving on Mon
day night to make her way Parisward.
Crossing on the night boat she ar
rived in Paris Tuesday and spent two
clear days sightseeing. Notre Dame,
Versailles, Pere Ia Chaise, the Louvre,
the morgue, the Champs Elysees, an
evening at the grand opera and
numerous other diversions occupied to
the full the time she spent in Paris.
Leaving there in time to reach Dieppe
Thursday night she recrossed the
channel, arrived in London Friday,
took the train for Liverpool and had
several hours there before boarding
the Lucania on its maiden westward
trip. She arrived in New York Satur-
day, September ., and after spending
Sunday quietly turned up IS bright -
= button at business Monday morning.
The ambitious young woman did not
boast Of her flying trip, but somehow
the facts leaked out on tho steamer
and were considered too good to keep.

THE YANKEE BIRD.
Facts About the Origin OF the
Christmas Turkey.
Our BaEnyard Gobbler II Not the Direct
Descendant Of American Stock,
But Relative imported
from Mexico.

Among the luxuries belonging to the
high conditions OF civilization exhi-
bited by the Mexican nation at the
time Of the Spanish conquest was the
possession by Montezuma of one of
the most extensive geological gardens
on record, says the Washington Star.
It embraced nearly all of the animals
of that country, with others brought
at great cost from distances. 1t is
stated by historians that turkeys
called by the Spanish adventurers "a
kind of peacock"-were furnished in
large numbers as food to the beasts OF
prey in the emperor's menagerie.
At that time the bird had been do
mesticated and reared in Mexico for
hundreds of years. 1t was carried by
the Spaniards to the West Indies,
whence it was taken to Europe early
in the sixteenth century. Before long
it became in Europe highly appreciated
for it's flavor. Being known to be OF
foreign origin, report gained ground
that the fowl had been obtained from
Turkey, that being region little
known in western Europe. In this
way it obtained the name by which it
has since been designated.
People coming to the United States
from Europe brought this Mexican
fowl to the United States, and the
progeny of the stock thus imported
and fetched back to the continent
whence it was originally derived fur
nishes Yankee tables to-day. In fact,
the contemporary turkey Of the barn
yard did not belong here originally.
It is not derived from the wild turkey
of the United States, which is quite
another species, with dark meat on
the breast and other differences plain
" distinguishabl BILE. On the other hand,
the wild Mexican turkey has white
meat on the breast and resembles our
tame turkey in all other points.
There are two species of wild turkey
in North America. One is confined to
the eastern and southern parts of the
United States. while the other is native
to the Rocky mountains, parts OF
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona,
and extends along eastern Mexico
southwark biologists were q long
time finding this out, being puzzled
meanwhile to account for the marked
difference in color and habits between
the wild and domestic birds of the
country. That q dark-meated fowl
should acquire white meat through do
mestication would seem indeed surpris-
ing.
In its wild state the Mexican turkey
derives nourishment from plants and
insects, scratching with its feet for
food. 1t is very shy. The birds live in
families like wild geese, keeping SEN
tinels on the watch when the flock il
feeding. They are so heavy that they
are not fond of taking flight, but the
Swiftest dog cannot overtake them in
running. The female lays from three
to twelve roundish, red-spotted eggs,
and matches them out in thirty days.
In Yucatan and northern Guatemala
this bird is replaced by third species,
less in size, but more striking In ap-
pearance, the tail having spots some
what like the ''eyes" in the tail OF
peacock.

Doubtful Medical Testimonials
Are the Many Published Cures in the
Daily Papers True?
Some Startling Statements Sound suspiciously
Exaggerated.

Many people who read the advertised testi-
monials of wonderful medical cures are apt to
ask themselves tho question. 'Can they be
true?" While many of them seem Incredible
we are not prepared TO say thsy are untrue.
We know the statements we have frequently
published regarding DR.. Walker, the great
specialist in the treatment OF nervous, brain,
and chronic diseases are true; many OF them are
from well-known prominent citizens of Wash
ington who, on being interviewed, declare
"the half has not been told, and that many
of DR.. Walkers most wonderful cures are
never heard of by the public. as he makes it
an inyariable rule to never divulge patients
name, or any facts regarding case, except
after a full, free permission has first been
granted by the patient: and many of his most
remarkable restorations are concealed from
tho public owing TO the patients diffidence. A
large number OF the remarkable statements
we have published from time time of SEEM
ingly impossible cures wrought by DR..
Walker are sworn to before notary public,
and as the sigDers are well known none can
doubt their truth. There is no doubt that a
physician who makes a life study OF certain
ailments, as Dr. Walker has done for twenty
four years, of nervous, brain, and chronic dis
eases, il better qualified TO treat and cure
them than the general practitioner, who en-
deavors 10 cover the whole wide range OF
complaints that affect humanity.

and extensive, and steadily increasing, and
his time is in constant demand, he has always
firmly adhered to his system OF small fees; ne

sultation, examination, or advice This
places the wonderful benefit of his great
skill within the reach of all. In addition to
the large number of callers he sees daily, he
yet finds time to answer personally the many
letters he constantly receives from out OF
town sufferers who seek his aid or advice.
DIR. Walker makes it aA iron-clad rule to only

Young or middIe-aged men suffering
