limitations of the Eifel Tower


The great success of the Eiffel tower,
both financially and otherwise, has led to
host of imitators. The Watkin tower,
1900 feet high, is being designed by Sir
BENJAMIN Baker, and it is to be erected
at Wembley park, near Willesden, the
foundation being nearly completed. The
cost is estimated at e2OO, 900, of which
10000 has been subscribed privately.
The Blackpool tower has been designed
by Messrs. Maxwell & luke, and the
contract has been let to Messrs. Heenan
& Froude for e40, 500, the total weight
Of the structure being 1900 tons. It will
be between 400 feet and 500 feet high.
The Isle of Man tower at Douglas is
now we'll advanced and does not i'm
prove in appearance as the work pro-
ceeds. The Brighton tower has not yet
been started, and the plans are not def
nitely decided. The Columbian tower
at Chicago, designed by Mr.. G. S. Mori-
son, is to be 1870 feet high from the
bottom of the foundation to the top of
the flagstaff. It has profile very SINH
lar to the Eiffel tower, but the construc-
ton is entirely different. The total
weight of the structure alone is 1000
tons; of the floors and staircases, 1900
tons; live load. 1900 tons, making a to-
tai of II 900 tons.-London Industries.

He Stayed HypnOtized.

That hypnotism is dangerous sci
ence, even in skilled hands, was once
more demonstrated at LIE Bourget, near
Paris. A professor of legerdemain, who
was giving an entertainment in a cafe,
and enjoyed some considerable reputa-
ton as hypnotist, proposed concluding
the evenings amusement by an exhibi-
ton of his skill. A young man named
Raylant volunteered to act as the sub
ject, and after some difficulty was rem
dered completely unconscious. The pro-
fessor then performed the usual tricks
with him, but when it came to awaken
ing found, to his establishment, that it
was quite impossible to effect it.
Raylant was sent home and medical
help was summoned, but the doctor
could only recall him to consciousness for
a few seconds, after which the young
man relapsed into an agitated sleep, in
terrupted at intervals by violent nerv-
GUS crises. Up to to-day Raylant has
only had few waking moments, during
which he complains of excessive weak
ness and pains in the head. An inquiry
has been opened by the police authori-
ties.-Paris Cor. London Telegraph.

An Insolent Employee.

An unusual instance of the impu-
dent manner of some of the street
car conductors occurred on a Market
street car the other day. It was on
one of the open cars, and gentle
man and boy jumped on the car as it
was passing street. They were go-1
ing together, but as it happened they
could not get seats together. The
conductor first went to the gentleman
for his fare and was handed a 10 cent
piece in payment of the two fares.
The conductor handed back 5 pen
MES. II don't want those pennies"
remarked the gentleman, and with
out giving him time to explain the
conductor pertly replied, "Wen, you'll
have to take them whether you want
to or not"
This reply angered the gentleman,
and instead of explaining then he
simply again refused to accept the
pennies. The conductor then threw
the pennies on the floor of the car
and turned to the boy for his fare.
"Why, he paid my fare" said the
boy, pointing to the gentleman. The
conductor then went back to the gen.
tleman and said, "Why, you didn't
tell me you were paying two fares"
''No," replied the gentleman, 'but
you didn't give me the chance" The
conductor picked up the pennies that
he had scattered on the floor. -Phila-

This Happened In New York City.


A Third avenue car was running
through the Bowery when it came
to stop near Grand street. The
driver fastened the reins to the brake
and walked into a neighboring shoe
store. The car was crowded, and
after lapse of five minutes the pas
sengers became impatient. The
horses began to stamp, and a young
man with red tie essayed to quiet
them. He was assisted by the con-
ductor. Three minutes more passed,
and the driver came slowly out Of
the store with a bundle under his
arm. He did not hurry, but in a
methodical way united the reins,
said "Geet ap!" and started down
town. He had been buying pair
of shoes.-New York Times.

Locusts Devouring L0custs.

In the summer of 1888, in which the
excessive heat and drought had brought
about the nearly entire disappearance of
vegetation in a good part of the country
and more particularly in the broken
country of Banda Oriental, had occa-
sion to make journey from San Jose to
Mercedes. At one place, Las Piedras,
at which the diligence stopped, l noticed
great numbers of locusts of the species
Pezotettix vittiger, Pezotettix maculi-
penis and Pezotettix arrogans, which
covered the ground and rocks.
Ny attention was attracted by the
fact of seeing around one locust mum.

ing vigorously. Isaw different attacks,
in which the conquerors, two or three at
time, got hold of the weaker members
of their own kind, throwing them over
and opening the abdomen in order to
devour the entrails, these being the soft
er and more savory portions, since they
still contained some of the vegetable
food. Cannibalism here appeared in its
lowest development, and the numerous
remains of those which had been eaten
bore witness to the extent to which the
process had been carried.
In the face of facts of this character,
it seems certain that nothing is sacred
in nature when the prolongation of life,
for the sake of the preservation of the
species, is concerned.-Carl Berg in Nat
ural Science.

A Terrible Looking Pin.

A well known gentleman of Seattle the
other day handed to a reporter a curious
looking scarfpin, the head of it being Of
the size of small marble, such as is
used by boys. In color it was peculiar
reddish amber, and seemed to contain a
strange ifelike heart, from which drop
of blood appeared ready to fall.
"A heart of fire bedreamed with haze"
''What is it?' asked the reporter.
1T is an eye taken from q mummy"
was the reply.
''Where was it taken fromy' was asked.
II was at africa, Peru, in 1882, and
took it from mummy myself" was the
reply. "A number of young men and
myself one day were out for sport and
dug up dozen mummies for the sake
of seeing what they had been buried with.
We found money, pieces of pottery, etc.,
but did not strike gold mine. Nearly
all the better class of mummies seemed
to have these eyes in them, and l took
this from one of them. could not
learn what it was. Some people in Peru
contend that it is the natural eye pre-
served and hardened in some manner,
while others think it a fish's eye. They
do not bother their heads much about it
down there, however. The fact that
these eyes are found in mummies is suf6-
Gent for them. | have never heard of
any tradition connected with them.
II took the eye to jewelry store in
San Francisco and tried to get it pol
ished, but could not. although half a
dozen men worked on it. The powder
arising from it while they were at work
would make them deathly sick and also
get in their eyes and blind them tenn
porarily. You see that it has scaled off
in places. l finally had it set in this pin
as you see it."-Seattle Press Times.

The Legendary Adam and Eve.

To the Scriptural account Of the crea-
ton and fall of Adam and Eve the Jewish
writer's of the Talmud have added many
curious particulars. According to these
mythmongers, Adam, when first created,
was 'giant of giants" as far as stature
goes. his head reaching into the heavens
and his countenance outshining the sun
in all it's splendor. In one place they
tell us that 1.-The very angels stood in
awe of the man which God had created,
and all creatures fastened to worship
him." Then the Lord, in order to give
the angels some idea Of his power, caused
deep sleep to come over Adam, and
while he was in comatose condition re-
moved portion of every limb and bone!
The first man thus lost part of his CO.
lossal stature, yet he remained perfect
and complete. Next, the first ''help-
meet for the lord of creation was Gre
ated in the person of Lilith, who forsook
Adam to become the mistress of the
air and the mother of demons"
After the departure of Lilith, Eve was
created and married to Adam in the
presence of Jehovah and the angels, the
sun, moon and stars dancing together to
the angelic music rendered. Then the
supreme happiness Of the human pair
excited the envy of even the angels, and
the seraph Sammael tempted them and
finally succeeded in bringing about their
fall from innocence. Adam lived as a
penitent on the very ground now occu-
pied by the temple at Mecca, and Eve in
a cave on the side of Mount Ararat,
where, after a lapse of 200 years, she
was rejoined to Adam.-St. Louis Re-
public.

ITALIAN MACARONI IN ITALY.
How 1t Is Served There, For 1t May Be
Made In Your Own Kitchen.

How 1t Is Served There, For 1t May Be
Made In Your own Kitchen.
In one OF the largest American cities
there is an Italian restaurant with
real Italian service that has among
it's chief patrons many who have lived
half a dozen years in Italy, more or
less, and are judges of purely Italian
viands. In this particular restau
rant they find their favorite dishes
cooked and served in the genuine
italian manner.
There is macaroni, for instance.
Now, macaroni here in Italy and
macaroni in America are two very
different articles. It was only re-
Gently that I heard a pretty New
York girl say: 1T is so strange that
at home I can't bear macaroni, and
here can hardly get enough of it.
Do you know the reason2"
I did, and I told her, and I will tell
you, so that with your perfect dish
of macaroni you may put palms or
great clusters of small pink roses or
yellow orchids on your table, bottles
here and there and pretty side dishes
filed with pats Of unsalted, creamy
butter stamped with flights of doves
and clusters of flowers, or even the
legendary wolf, and quite imagine
you are again in Italy. Such macaroni
is not made at a tremendous factory,
nor with coarse flour and water, but
in ones own kitchen and thus:
Heap little more than half kilo
about pounds-of best -four on
your marble pastry slab or your
hard wood molding board, make a
hole in the center of the -four some
what like the crater of a volcano,
and into this break z or eggs. Stir
these eggs whites and yolks to-
gether) slowly and steadily with the
-four until a perfectly smooth but
very hard mass is made. Then d.
vide it into perhaps six pieces, pro-
ceeding with one after the other as
follows:
First roll the dough as thin as it
possibly can be rolled, then fold it
over and over in folds about
inches wide until the piece is entire
ly folded. Then cut it through cross
wise in pieces about one-half or one
third of an inch wide, or they may
be cut in fancy shapes. Shake the
least little dust of flour over it and
then lift the little piles of strips, let
ting them fall SO they will separate
but not break. Put them on sieve
or almost anywhere not too near the
stove nor in the sun, to dry thor
oughly, and when they are dried
your macaroni is done. It is very
simple, isn't it?
There is very necessary point in
preparing macaroni dishes-that is,
that the macaroni must be boiled
just long enough, as it is as easily
spoiled by too much or too little boil
ing as green corn or eggs.
Another thing to be remembered
is that there must be plenty of water
in the kettle in which it boils and
that the water must be all the time
boiling thoroughly, but not too VIC
lently. A little salt is to be added
to the water too. Capolina-that
very fine macaroni, scarcely the size
of a small steel knitting needle,
made especially for soups should
never be put in longer than 20 min
utes before it is served on the table.

Effect of the Earth's Motion ON Big Shot.
That the earth's motion has an appre-
cable effect upon artillery fire, defect
ing the projectile from a straight course,
may be news to many and as such would
probably seem novel notion. It has.
and the exact nature and extent of the
effect is an important point of study
with artillery experts. An English army
expert told of the results of many inter
esting experiments along this line in a
paper read before the Royal Artillery
institution. Firing from north to south
there is divergence of projectiles to the
left, due to the earth's rotation. and fir
ing due north the divergence is to tho
right. The extent of the pull" varies
at different points of the earth's surface
and with projectiles fired at different
speeds and elevations. In England de-
Election of five inches is found to occur
with the projectile of 10 FOUNDER in a
1000 yard range.-New York Sun.

The Power of the Tongue.

Go with me to the halls of Yale and
listen to Chauncey M. Depew speak with
clean cut phrases of wisdom, sailed with
sentences of wit. Come back to the city
and find him delivering an GRAFTON on
the Centennial in the presence of vast
multitude of witnesses, tone and style
and manner and figures totally different.
See him at the dinner of the New York
Press club, where 300 bright witted,
clever headed, nimble fingered, honest
hearted men applaud to the echo his per-
tinent, his suggestive, his eloquent SEN
fences. Jump thence to the superb
Auditorium in Chicago, where $4,000
yellers and shouters and tooters surround
the 400 or 800 delegates assembled there
to nominate presidential candidate.
See how they listen. Watch as they
applaud. Tell me that Chauncey M. De-
pew, bright, clever, experienced as he
is, could be the force, the factor in af-
fairs, the distributor of ideas he is with
out what St. James would call an un-
ruly evil! The fact is, a tongue, like ev-
erything else, has its upper and lower,
its good and it's bad, its sweet and its
sour.-Howard in New York Recorder.
