 A New York correspondent says that the last anteuuPtal present made by Fred Gehharl to the lady who is now Mrs, GeJhar3 Was sent to Baltimore two days before the wedding This present is a solid silver batatub The core spondent continues; "It is not 0ue 0s those common everyday German silver aiTir5 such as Albany legislators are wont to lave in. Tho white metal in this gorgeous Gutcuuptial gift js without alloy The vessel is as connections as the workmanship displayed on # IS iG- tricate and ingenious. 1all and beauti- fully propJrtioucd as Che lady Is, she will be able to dispJT herself 1 this lover gift without fear uG stuhbng her pink toes at one end of itar ahrasiug her scalp by sudden contact with the other.
 This little piece of bgudo.r furniture is beautifully embossed The exterior resembles perfectly lail out flower garden ;u miniature, while the interior is deIicately chased On the bottom of the tub arc engrossed Mrs. GeJhard B initials iu huse letters It weighs 200 pounds ayOirdupois weight, The market price for silver at present is S3 cents an ounce.

 '5iiyer workers iu New York who were allowed to feast their eyes on the beautiful vessel before it was swathgI in tinted cotton and soft tissue paper, preparatory to being sent yo Baltimore, say that 1t could not possibly be made for less than e 5G0.

rrrneh Lo,er. of Art Antloa..

French lovers of art are becoming anx- ious over the distribution of many price less treasures in the past year among English, German aud American collect, ors The original gallery of General Hacquiu, the Napolaouio general who sacked tho city Of Payia, has been bro- ken up. World renowned originals of the early Italian, Dutch, Flemish and French schools went, most of them, to London and Berlin The absence of any national reserve fund for the purchase of such treasures is much regretted. The annual subsidy allowed to the govern ment galleries is only $3O, GOO. It is urged that the unused fund of nearly $2 2,00O- GOO, the product of the sale of the crown jewels, bo ds9oted to this purpose. A small admission fee at the Louvre is also advocated for tue double advantage of keeping out loafers and raising revenue to purchase additions. Art Journal,

North Colorado and parts of Wyoming and Montana are genuine mines of pet. rifactions. There are petrifactions of every kind including many varieties of wood, ferns and plants fish, toads, sumls, frogs serpents, shellish and ob- jects which cannot be classified The deposits often occur in layers as though some great natural convulsion had de- stroyed the animal life Of Q whole dis trict Gt once The scientists mako very few and tolelably weak attempts to ex- plain Che singular phenomenon, and the fact is evident tliat they know no more about the inatter than do the men who pick out the best specimens and sell them 10 tourists.

A FLYING STREET CAR

An Aerial whalebaok Go Run by Trolley
 at the Antwerp Exposition,
 A flying street car is the latest novelty which an ingenious Belgian has devised for the convenience and amusement O, visitors to the Antwerp exposition He does not call it flying street car. but grand balloon dirigible' is the Belgian way of putting it.
 In appearance the flying street car re. sembles the famous Pennington airship or miniature whalebaCk upside down. The floating apparatus is a huge cigar shaped bag. to which is attached the street car itself In the front or prov of the car is an immense fan or propeller, and at the other end an apparatus like a barn door in three sections. which pro vides a rudder
 The car is divided into three sectOns, one for the motormau. another for the passengers and third, which corres spOnds about in size tJ the baggage apartment on a suburban car. is for the use of the conductor.
 The much abused trolley system has been turned to good account in counoc- ton with this flying street car, as from she overhead wire the electricity is ob- tained with which to work the motor. Connecting the car with tais overhead wire is q travelling cable, one end oi which connects with the motor, the other being attached to a trolley which slides along the wire as the car moves.
 tu She rear compartment of the car, Hhsfe ths e56Suctor .as hi- 4uarte~s, is all the parapherDaiia for lowering the machine. A stout ships anchor attached by wire cable to a windlass, which in turn is connected with the electric motor, provides tho means for hauliug down the flying car when station is reached where passengers are to alight
 The first practical demonstration of tsis aerial means of rapid transit will be made during the Antwerp exposition. One model machine is already pretty well advanced toward completion. the termini of the route being the exposition groands and the bourse at Antwerp which are about a mile apart.
 During the exposition trips will be made every half hour by this novel means of lOconotiOD, and the success of the experiment nay probably reyOlu- tionize street car traffic One great drawback to it's popularity. however, is that the trip of mile will cost , francs, CT $I.--Philadelphia Press

VIII His Hatred of Germany Overcome
 HIa Horror of Nar2

The situation is strange, lurid and in a sense humiliating. Armed Europe waits upon the ultimate mandate of one man. "The heaven for height, says Solomon, "the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable' Car Alexander III has two ruling einotions--a horror of war and hatred of Germany. The problem is. Which passion in him shall conquer tho otherf Tramlneled by no parliament, influenced neither by re- sponable ministers nor by personal fa- yorites, the big, lonely despot is wres- ting out that problem single handed. It is an awful position.
 There is no real public opinion in Rus sia whose voice might sway the auto erat.
