out In the Mediterranean with il rowing

the Egyptian government to this coun-

the shaft, and even then thcp WAS al
most d riot
'But that was ono Of the prottiest
pieces Of engineering work have ever
seen. The engineers who were moving
our shaft had q couple Of big wooden
cases built that fitted around the needle
like the pieces Of wood around the lead
in pencil TheTo were q couple Of pro-
jectiles on oach side Of the casinga just
on the center Of gravity in the shaft,
like the trunnions on a cannon. Under
these they put lifting jacks and just
picked that i,amense stone off its
pedestal, swung 1t around horizontal
and then lowered II as gently as could
be ON a long sliding way, with cannon
balls under 1t for rollers They had
square hole cut ia the stern Of the
steamship and slid it into the hull
through that and replaced tho sheathing
outside.
Under the shaft in the inside Of tho
pedestal there were lot Of bronze tonds
and ornaments and the Lord knows what

"A curious thing about political ora.
tory and wit is the sido light got upon
ono aspect of it years ago In Buffalo, "
Thus Mr.. Cleveland il quoted by a lis
toner Zone morning quaint looking
old chap oame into my Office and said
that ho had read in the newspapers that
l was to speak at mass meeting the
following night and wanted to know II
it were true. When / told him that

method Of gaining oratorioal distinc-
tion, He volunteered to interrupt my
speech at stated intervals with Tomark
that should bo agreed upon between us.
To this interjpotipn was 10 retort wit
tily, and thus, as tho old fellow pointed
out, would acquire reputation rs a
witty speaker,
MY FIRST impression was that he was
amusing himself at my expense, but he
repeated 70 me several things could
reply to wittily and wanted me to pay
him roundly for helping mo to reputa-
tion. But | told him was indifferent
to that kind Of fame, and he went away
disappointed. Not very long astor that
was seated on stage listening to q
speaker, when who should arise In tho
audience but my quaint visitor and
hawl out ono of the very things he
wanted mo to pay him for interrupting
mo with The orator answered him with
tho same retort that | was offered tho
privilege OF making, and the audience
exploded into laughter, and | HEARTILY
joined IN, but my amusement had not
the same foundation, fancy, as that Of
the rest Of tho laughors. And during
tho rest Of the evening tho old fellow
made an occasional interruption from
different parts Of the house, and tho re-
torts wero of the same manufactured
sort am triho skeptical now on the
