Early Steamboat Navigation.

The torpedo boat Cushing's voyage
from New York to Newport in six
hours and fifty minutes is in i'll
tcreSting contrast with the first steam-
boat passage between the two cities
This voyage was that of the Firetly,
which left New York on May %. 1917,
and reached Newport in twenty eight
hours. The steamer Fulton had made
the voyage to New Haven two years
before in about eleven hours. and
thirteen years later that voyage had
been shortened only about one hour
tween New York and Newport was
not established until 1922 The trip
had been made eXperimentally the
year before in sixteen hours. The fare
To Newport by the early lines was

The public did not begin to call the
Sound steamers floating palaces" I'M
til 1896. when the steamer Washing
ton began to run on the line. and went
through from Providence in less
than sixteen hours. The time
to Providence had been re-
duccd to twelve and one-half hours in
1S:5I. and there began to he much talk
of swift steamers; but the boats were
still small. and it was ten years be
fore steamers of considerable size ma
vigatcd the Sound. The Massachusetts
built in 1896. was the first boat to re-
scmble family the great Sound steam
ers of to-day. and she was only 2O2
feet long. considerably less than half
the length of the largest modern
steamers.

Wine-Ijrinking i'm France.

In spite Of the enormous number of
cafes and wine shope it possesses.
Paris is far from being the town where
the most wine is drunk in France.
Possibly this is because the consump-
ton of beer has so largely increaed
in the French capital in later years.
According to an Official return just is
sued by the ministry of finance. it is
in the south that the largest consump-
tion of wine takes place. Mines. fam

litres per head of the population per

less than a bottle a day for every

GENERAL ITEMS.
Met the Lawyer SquareIy.

A Kentucky lawyer was standing on
the steps of the Covington postoffice
the other day, when an old colored
man came up, and, touching his hat :.
asked:
"Kin you tell me. is dis de place
where dey sells postage stamps p
'Y es, sir, this is the place." replied
the lawyer, seeing chance for n
little quiet fun; but what do you
want with postage stamps, uncle p
ITO mail a letter, sab, of course"
well. then, you needn't bother
about stamps you don't have to put
any on this week"

"No, sir'
"Why-for not !"
well, you see, the conglomeration
of the hypothenuse has differentiated
the parallelogram so much that the
consanguinity don't emulate the or
binary effervescense, and so the
government has decided to send letters
free"
The old man took off his hat dubious
ly, shook his head, and then, with Il
long breath. remarked;
eh, oosS, dii udt may De true,
an | don't say it ant, but just s'poseE
dat de eckcentricity of the aggregation
transubstantuates de ignominiousness
of de puppindickler and submitted de

you qualificate dat de government
would confscate dat dare letter?
guess I'd better put some stamps on
anyhow, for luck"
And the old man passed solemnly
down the Chicago Times.

Belva'S TriumDh.

Mrs. Belva A Lockwood, once
known in a humorous way to all the
voters of the Union, has at last ac-
complished something worth while.
She has persisted in her right-long
denied by the Legislature-to practice
in the courts of the State, aud at last
the Supreme Court of Appeals has de-
cided in her favor She is a full
fledged lawyer in Virginia now. This
victory will perhaps be of more prac-
tical good to her sex than one which
secured for them political privileges.
1t bears directly on the question of
earning living, and that Is always
the most important question on.-Prov-

"A Gruesome Discovery.

A curious story, illustrating the pre-
servative properties of choke damp.
comes from the district of Hsing Ko-
chow, China. In the neighboring
province of Anhui, where there are
extensive coal workings, a party of
miners recently struck an ancient
shaft, where history records that a
great catastrophe occurred 400 years
ago, the records being preserved
among its local archives. The miners,
on re-opening the old shaft, came upon
upward of 10 bodies of the former
workers, lying where they had been
overcome by foul gas four centuries
back. The corpses were as if those of
yesterday, quite fresh looking, and
not decayel in any way. The faces
were like those of men who had only
just died. On an attempt being made
to move them outside for burial, they
one and all crumbled away, leaving
nothing but pile of dust and the
remnants of the stronger parts of their
clothing. The miners, terrified, fled
from the spot. and though there were
valuable deposits of coal in the shaft
nothing would induce the superstitious
men to return to their work.

A MINERS ORDEAL.
Lights Four Fuses of Giant Powder and
Finds Escape Cut on.

Finds Escape Cut ON.
Frank Bagley, miner, had an ex-
pertinent recently at the bottom of a
'n-foot Shaft in Little Jessie mine
which he never wants to go through
again. and which no other miner would
care to experience. His escape from
instant death seems little short OF a
miracle
He was engaged with companion
in putting in four blasts. and when
the work was completed his companion
climbed up rope to a place of safety
above. leaving him to apply the light
to fuse which was to explode the
shots. He had an abundant length of
fuse to give him plenty OF time. as he
supposed. to climb up the timbrrcd
part OF the shaft out of reach of fly
ing rocks from the shots. The d stance
was only about ton feet. but he had no
ladder on account of the Inconvenience
Of handling it while shooting. and the
only means Of escape was by cl mbinG
4 rope.
He applied the light to the fuse and
then started to climb the rope. but it
WAS wet and slippery, and as soon as
he made a few feet his hold would give
way. and he would slip back to the
bottom of the shaft, where four pieces
of fuse were sizzling their way to as
many sticks of giant powder. His
first unsuccessful attempt did not alarm
him much. as he had no fear of his
ability TO get away, but as he tried
again and again. and each time to
only slide back to the bottom. he began
to realize that his position was a very
critical one
He had blown out his light. and in
the narrow confines of the shaft there
was not crevice or a projecting rock
big enough to shield even his hand.
The place was black as midnight dark
ness itself. and his only way Of escape
was through the agency of that slip
perry and treacherous rope He knew
about The time the explosion must in
evitably occur. and as the tine grew
nearer and nearer the more desperately
did he attempt to make the ascent, but
all TO no purpose.
The first shot went off. scattering
rock in every direction around him,
and hitting him in various places on
the body. The second third and
fourth followed in rapid succession,
but with less serious results to HIN.
The injuries he sustained We're mostly
Grated and bruised from head to foot,
although none of the wounds We're
deep. While they are serious and quite
painful. they are not considered dam

A CellulOid Mirror.

For many years popular supcrsti-
ton has found favor in the minds OF
many. regarding the misfortnncs
which would follow the person who
broke Il mirror, but at last this fear
of ill-luck promises to become IL thing
of the past. The celluloid mirror is a
new invention which should have Il
future The manner of constructing
it is as follows: A plate of trans
parent celluloid is coated with silver
or other polished metal. over which
another layer of Opaque celluloid is
placed. and mirror is obtained which
may be burned, but which will not be
broken by an accidental fall. 1t is
hoped that this invention may be ap-
piled with advantage to oplicat in
struments of large dimensions. owing
to the ductility of the substance.
which permits Of its taking the re-
quired form with greater ease than
refiectOrs in metal, while possessing
all the merits of the glass reflector.
