70 DIRECT ROAD TO PORTLAND.
rnless the UBion Pacific IL Rebui1t,
Grain May he shut Ont-


TACOMA, June i6.-lspeciai. Northern
Pacific traffic department officials state
that the rate on grain from Eastern Wash
ington 10 Tacoma, Seattle and Portland Is
the same, therefore, in case the Union Pa
e;lc line from Umatilla 10 Portland is not
repaired by the time the grain shipping
season opens It is stated by the friends of
the latter city that the elevator managers
could have their grain hauled around to
Portland via Puget sound without going
10 any extra expense. But the traffic de
partment Of the Northern Pacific calls at
tention 70 the fact that the elevators at
Portland are on the opposite side Of the
river, at Alblna. and that the Union Pa
clfe charges for transferring the cars
across the river are equal TO s. per car, and
that thereby the shipper has heretofore
been practically shut out from using the
Northern Pacific system in hauling grain
from Eastern Washington to Portland.
Therefore. II the rule works both ways,
they will continue to be shut out, and the
grain will have 10 be marketed through
Tacoma and Seattle. Possibly. ii is said,
the Union Pacific will be- called upon to
waive It's transfer charge, which has here
tofore practically prevented any shipper
from using the Northern Pacific for a
Portland haul on grain.
Owing to the great damage to grain last
season as a result of continued rain at an
inopportune time il was anticipated in
railroad circles that the shipments would
drop eli to a very great extent. However.
up 70 date there have been hauled over
the Northern Pacific 1000 more cars OF
Gran for the 1893 season than for the
masan of 1892

Cleveland Before the Camera.

Sometimes the unexpected prevents the
photographer from getting celebrity be-
fore his camera. This happened at Lake
wood two days previous to the second
Inauguration of President Cleveland.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland were will.
ing to grant the favor asked, and the
nurse and Miss Ruth were accordingly
sent for. ~ fear you will find the nurse
a little suspicious" Mr.. Cleveland said,
The nurse came in promptly, but with
out Ruth, She put her foot down, a.

''She shall not have her picture takei
today. If she should, Mr.. Cleveland viii

and l do not care much about having my
picture taken"
''Let me take You standing in front OF
your house. Possibly You may not care
particularly now, but 10 years hence
these pictures will recall pleasant days
and scenes"
The idea seemed to strike him favor.

"You may get them all together for

honor TO the authors work than any
other country. The first critical edition
Of "Don Quixote" In Spanish, with the
first life Of Cervantes, by Mayans y
Siscar, was published in London in 17as,
more than 40 years before the Spaniards
had aroused themselves to do honor to
their greatest writer.
This edition, in four handsome vol
umes, was printed sumptuously in all
the glory of the Tonson press, under the
auspices of Lord Cartcret, at an age
when "Don Quixote' was still appearing
in his native country on filthy ballad
paper in execrable type, uncorrected and
unadorned. That which is perhaps still
the best annotated edition of "Don Quix-
ote" In Spanish was the work of the
learned and painful John Bowie, canon
of Salisbury, which appeared in 1871. 1t
is said to have been the rumor of this
undertaking, In which Bowie spent IA
years Of his life, which made the Span
ish academy hurry with their great edi-

Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, the chief con-
structor of the British navy, has given
the weight Of his high reputation to the
possibility of constructing ship for At
lantic navigation which will be | 200 feet
long and 300 feet broad, with engines of
10000 horsepower and an ocean speed of
10 knots. The ship he described as a
"steel island" which will be incapable Of
entering any dock, at any rate as at pres
emit constructed, having several engines
working side by side. He thinks that a
draft of 20 feet of water need never be
exceeded.
81 do firmly believe" said Sir Nathan
iel, shat we shall get the mastery over
tho seas, and that we shall live more hap
PLY in marine residence, capable of
steaming Is knots an hour, than we can
ever live in a seaside town. This project
Is not, however, intended to shorten the
duration Of transatlantic voyage, but
to make 1t more tolerable while it lasts.
Most of the efforts hitherto made to deal
with the problem of Atlantic navigation
have aimed at speed as the first essen
tial, and have left out of account the pos
sibility Of making such mechanical pro-
visions against NAL de mer as would en-
able the most squeaiuish of passengers
to contemplate an Atlantic voyage with
perfect equanimity. In this direction
the achievements of the last half century
have been truly yelous."-Manufac

A Much Robbed Stagecoach.

There is today in Phoenix, A. T., a
stagecoach that has been held up and
robbed oftener than any other in exist
ence. 1t has seen its best days and now
stands dismantled and dilapidated in the
backyard of livery stable, but could it
talk many are the tales it could tell of
brigandage that would lay the exploits
of Claude Duval in their shadow.
1t began running in the seventies be-
tween Prescott and Tombstone and has
actually been robbed SO times Eight
drivers and as many express messengers
have been killed from its box, and as
passengers in those days went armed to
defend themselves and property, not a
few fatalities have occurred among them
and the brigands. 1t was originally a
handsome Concord coach, pulled by eight
mules, and cost 81 800 at Tucson, but its
sides are now split by rifle and pistol bull
let's, and in more than one place the leath-
or lining shows the wild stroke of bowie
knife.-Los Angeles Herald.

The water-platinum Pyrometer.

Experiments made with the water plat
mum pyrometer ON the boilers of the
Pacific mills, Massachusetts,, have oxhib-
tied some important practical results.
1t was found that In the heart of an az
thracite coal fire the temperature markell
1896 degrees, while at the bridge wall it
was 1,341 degrees, S95 at the entering
tubes and 373 at the leaving tubes. In
this case 20 pounds of air were supplied
per pound of coal, usually, however, this
amount being greater and having he eff
feet of reducing the temperature. The
method of making the tests was to heat
platinum balls in crucible placed at the
point where the temperature is desired,
these, when heated, being removed and
submerged in water. The weight of the
platinum being known and the weight
of the water, it is easy to figure from the
specific heats of the water and platinum,
and the increase in temperature the wa
ter shows by immersfng the balls. just
how high the temperature Of the balls
must have been.-New York Sun.

There has within the past year or so
grown up great rivalry between the
florists Of upper Broadway, and the
public has been the gamer, inasmuch as
the display made by the florists is fan
more attractive from the street than
ever before. The shops have been beau
tilted, their show windows enlarged and
the utmost efforts put forth to make
an effective display that will attract at
tention from the passerby. This is
generally done by the artistic grouping
Of masses of superb flowers together
against background Of greens or by
providing something out of the common
In contrast effects.
One florist created decided sensation
lately by having a windmill in his win
dow, the arms Of which revolved and
blazed alternately red and white as doz-
ems of tiny electric lamps of glass of those
colors were thrown ON or off an electric
circuit. At the back of the shop, but in
full view of the street, stood an immense
peacock of metal, colored to nature, and
its tail illuminated by a great many SIM
liar tiny lamps set in the ''eyes" on the
feathers.-New York Mail and Express.

A Marriage n la Mode.

The deputy clerk in the marriage bu-
reau at Jacksonville was very, very
busy. Without looking up from his
work he knew there was colored couple
looking around timidly near the door
and occasionally peering over at the desk
where he sat writing.
This lasted for about half an hour,
when, becoming annoyed, he suddenly
feaped up and demanded:
"Well, well, want to get married?
Why don't you say so?"
They grinned at each other, then
grinned at the clerk, and the man said,
"Ya-as.'
nGos any money!
"Ya-as, sir"
"How much"
1.-TWO dollars"
"Hand it here"
He slowly, almost painfully, counted
out SO in chicken money. The clerk
grabbed it. Join right hands, he said.
Then faster than thunder shower can
patter on tin roof he ratified off the
following:
"By virchof thoritof state of Floridin
me vestedinow declare you manwife.
Gitowder herev' And they went, still
grinning.
Next day, while the bridegroom was
laying track for the new electric Car line,
he was heard to say:
"Mr. Charlie Verelst is de smartest
