A Miners Inch.

The mode of measurement of
miners inch of water varies in differ
ent localities. but the accepted legal
measure is that quantity of water
which will flow through an opening of
one square inch in the bottom of yes
sci under a mean pressure of four
inches. Fifty of the above miners
inches is equivalent to discharge of
one cubic foot of water per second. To
get the number of gallons in miners
inches multiply the given number of
inches by i4,96l, pointing off five deci-
mails The result will be the number
of gallons discharged per second. To
get the miners inch in gallons, divide
the number of gallons flow, or dis
charge per minnie. by S.9766. The re-
suit will be the number of inches
sought. One miners inch in gallons:

4 Long Pursuit.

BalZac or Gaboriau never wrote
more thrilling story of long pursuit
and successful revenge than comes by
the China steamer in accounts of the
assassination in Shanghai of Kim Ok
Kim. the Corean refugee 1t occurred
in a foreign hotel in the European set
tlement and the assassin, Hung. was
arrested and held for trial. Hung
camped on Kim's trail for six years in
the hope of getting him outside of
Japan. While in the pay of the Corean
court he cultivated the acquaintance
of Kim. who had lived at Toxic for
several wears under a Japanese name
Hung induced a Corean exile, who
owed Kim a large sum of money, To
write offering to pay the old account
with interest if Kim would come to
Shanghai The trial will probably
show that the Corean court promised
the assassin a big reward for removing
a dangerous conspirator whom the
Japanese government had saved from
their vengeance for ten years Kim was
the ablest Corean who has come to the
front since the hermit kingdom was
opened to foreigners He spoke Japa-
nese. Chinese. French and German fiu-

A RICE ELEVATOR.
New Orleans Claims the First One Ever
Erected in the World.

What the New Orleans pa pers call
1.-The first rice elevator in the world"
has just been erected in that city, says
the Seattle Telegraph The plant"
consists of an elevator tower, into
which the grain is directed through Il
movable chute from the loaded rail
road cars and from which it is trans
ferred by machinery to the bins and
barrels of the warehouse. the latter be
ing connected with the elevator tower
by a covered bridge. The rice ~on reach
ing the summit of the tower, is spilled
out on q rubber belt some sixty feet in
length, running at high rate of speed
between rollers inclined at an angie of
sixty degrees. These rollers are To-
Gated at intervals of eight feet and
serve to keep the rubber belt curved in
such manner that the rice is not
spilled while in transit. This belt
terminates just within the wall of the
warehouse, where the grain is received
in hopper. AT the bottom of this
hopper Is an aperture opened by trap
door, through which the rice is spilled
on to a screw conveyor traversing the
length of the second story of the ware
house and passing over a series of bins
designed to receive the grain. BY a
delicate arrangement of scales and
weights the rice is weighed while in
the hopper. At regular intervals rub
ber belts similar to the one running
from the elevator tower receive the
rice from the screw and carry it across
the bins. An ingenious contrivance
causes ii to be dropped into the recrp-
tacle when that receptacle is reached.
A single man can operate this apparatus
and thus control the movement of each
class of rice, till it is finally deposIted
in its appropriate bin. Its travels are
by no means terminated at this point.
Six screw conveyors traverse the ceiling
of lower story. Opening the trap
doors i'll the bottom of the bins on the
story above. the rice enters the spirals
of these machines and is borne across
the building and received upon another
rubber belt This leads directly To- the
milling department. where the husks
are stripped off and the grain pre-
pared for the market. The capacity of
the elevator is estimated at about
eight hundred barrels per hour. which
Is equivalent to twenty four hundred
bushels, or four loaded ears. The
warehouse can accommodate ninety
thousand bushels of grain

The story of the achievement of
Maria Bensley has become familiar
through the recent attempts at settle
ment of the Benslcy estate in San
Francisco. The story of the womans
personality, related by the Exam
iner, Is more remarkable. As one evil
dence of her peculiarities il may be
cited that she wore a coat OF mail The
woman was the wife of John BenSley,
once Il financial power in San Francis

she had no trouble in securing Il power
of attorney. Mrs. De Tarente' she
called this fictitious woman. and. need
less to say, when Mrs. Bensley desired
to dispose of any property Mrs. De
Tarente never dissented. While Pens
ley was away his wife found herself in
many trying situations, and when she
became a widow her peace of mind was
still disturbed by the opportunities of
creditors and their recourse to the law.
Mrs. Bensley traced her pedigree back
to noble families that never existed.
and her pride was based on titles that
were never bestowed She had few
confidantes and the enemies her hus-
band had acquired readily transferred
their atte tion to her She was wor

feeble, but lost no whit of her pluck
One day Mrs. Bensley was dining at

had learned to fear vengeance. 1t is
believed that until death Mrs Bensley

FIGHTING oueLs IN ITALY.
About the Only Exercise In Which Ma
tiSes OF the sunny Land Indulge

About the Only Exercise In Which Ma
tiSes of the sunny Land Indulge
Dueling is the leading and almost
the only athletic sport in Italy, SAYS
the Idler. 1t is true that there is an
Alpine club, so-called because its mem
bers climb the lesser heights of the
Apennines, but there is no cricket.
and, except among the laboring
classes, bali games of even the mildest
character are hardly ever played. The
young Italian gentleman finds in duel
ing an exercise which is beneficial to-
his muscles and sufficiently exciting
to interest him, and the middle-aged
Italian keeps up his practice with the
foils and occasionally challenges and
fights a friend just to show that he is
not SO old as to have lost a genial inter
est in the innocent pursuits of youth
Dueling is contrary to law in Italy,
but the duelist is never punished (un-
less he should accidentally kill mani,
except in the army, where the sport is
obligatory and strictly prohibited The
same curious anomaly exists in Ger
many, where army officers are arrest
ed and punished if they fight a
duel and either cashiered or forced to
resign if they do not. The Italian Off
Ger, when challenged to- fight, is virtu-
ally told: You'll be condemned if You
do and condemned if you don't" This
seems to- the Anglo-Saxon decidedly
idiotic, but nothing can well be more
idiotic than dueling. Playing cha
rades in drawing room rises to- philo-
sophie heights of wisdom in com
parison with il. At least ninety-nine
out of every hundred Italian duels are
of the class technically known as
first blood duels. That is to say, the
combat ceases the moment either of
the adversaries loses blood. In these
duels the sword is always used. and
the slightest scratch on the hand or
the arm-which are the localities usu-
ally scratched-signaliZes the end of
the game and authorizes the duelists
to sheathe their weapons and go some
where to dinner together. Instances
have happened in viii ich a duelist has
been accidentally run through the
body and killed, but incidents of this
sort are extremely infrequent com
pared with the fatalities of the foot
ball field. Italian dueling is probably
the safest of all athletic sports, except
prize fighting practiced by modern
pugilists by means of letters to the
sporting papers

Belgian Marriage Licenses.

their marriage licenses or marriage
lines" as they call them in that land

gilt-edge morocco. This is consider
ately done-or, in other words, done
for consideration-by the Inunicipali-

up quantity of more or less useful
information with the documents.
There is summary of the Belgian
marriage laws, rough and ready les

table with spaces for a catalogue of
the issue of the marriage The table
contains room for twelve children to
be entered, so this may be taken as a
gentle hint that that number is the

are they are not half as abundant as
they were few years ago, before any
