Last evening large party Of officials
Of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad
Company arrived in the city in General
Superintendent Wilson's car. The
party took supper at the McLure. After
looking around the local properties OF
the Lake Erie this morning the party
will proceed up the river division to
steubenyillo. The party is composed Of
the following officials:
G. A. Wilson, Of Toledo. general su.
perintendent; H. ]. Tooth, of Toledo,
general freight agent; J. NJ. Hall. OF To-
ledo. general passenger agent; W. II.
Vance, OF Toledo, coal traffic agent; F.
J. Stout, OF Massillon. superintendent
OF transportation; ]. +. Townsend, as
sis,ant general freight agent; &. Il Glib
son, OF Massillon; W. II. Stark, OF To-
ledo; @. A. Shackford, of Toldo.
Late last night General Superinten.
dent Wilson was seen by All 1NrELLI.
GyScER reporter. He said the party OF
officials had been out on the line Of the
road for two days and that their visit
here had no especial Significance, its
purpose being mainly to come into
touch with the large shippers OF the
road and to inspect the line. Mr.. vii.
son said that the road is now enjoying
heavy traffic, especially in coal.
When asked as to the proposed join
ing OF the Valley road with the Wheel.
ing & Lake Erie, Mr.. Wilson said that
the advantages OF the combination are
quite apparent The principal ad-
vantage will be an Independent en-
trance for the Wheeling & Lake Erie
into Cleveland, something that the
road has long desired. When the
Valley is acquired tho Wheeling d
Lake Erie will have the shortest line
from the Ohio river to the lake, the
distance from Wheeling to Cleveland,
via the Valley, being only l4l miles.
When asked as to the rumored inten-
ton of the Wheeling & Lake Erie road
TO extend its line into the Conuellsville
coke region. Mr.. Wilson said that he
knew nothing about such an intention
and that the visit Of the officials had
nothing to do with that.

The Chinaman's Sign.

A Washington Street Chinaman
changed his sign the other day, name
and all. Everyone has the sign fever
nowadays, and he thought he would
be in line with the Melicanman. One
of his customers stepped in 10 see If q
new Chinaman had taken possession Of
the place. He found the laundryman
that had been there for good many
months.
"Why did You change the name on
your sign?" he asked HIM.
"Oh, that nothin'. Only sign name
That's all. b"
"Why don't you put your own name
on the sign?"
"Oh, see, if I sellee placee can't
sellee sign. see? Any name good sign.
That's all.
He then explained that il was a COM
mon practice among Cinnamon TO
change their signs frequently, and that
they believed il encouraged trade and
thus reimbursed them for the expendi-
ture in red paint and unpronounceable
characters Il Buffalo Express.

Fire Under Water.

Fire under water may be produced
by placing some small pieces of phosp-
horus in "A conlcal-shaped glass tumb-
Ter, and then covering them with fine
crystals of potash. Next fill the glass
with water and then add few drops
of sulphuric acid-the acid to be APP
piled directly to the phosphorus and
potash crystals by means of long
tube. If the experiment is properly
carried out tongues of bright red
flame can be seen flashing up through
the water, the intense chemical heat
produced by the action of the sulphuic
acid on the potash and phosphorus
being sufficient to infame the latter,
although entirely covered with water.

Ga,s for Aquarium Tanks.

One of the remarkable features of
the new aquarium down on the Battery
wall is the glass which forms the front
of the tanks. On ordinary inspection,
when the tanks are filed, it appears
very thin indeed; but il is in reality
an inch in thickness. To a person un-
acquainted with the reflective tendency
of glass, this may not seem strange,
but even the uninitiated will open
their eyes when told that the test
which proved this glass satisfactory
was to place twenty slabs, each one
inch thick, on top of each other and
try to read ordinary newspaper print
through them all. Certainly the fishes
cannot escape the inspection of the
multitude through such crystal as
this.
The glass is made in England. II
was found impossible to make IL IN
this country, owing TO influence of cli
mate ana temperature. Neither the
French nor American article WAS able
to stand the test of strength to which
each slab was put before it could be
trusted TO hold the water in the tank.
Why this should be 30, the makers do
not explain they are handicapped by
nature, they say, and cannot help
themselves.
III. Il. Woodman, who has charge of
the installation of the aquarium, has
been endcavoring to obtain some slabs
of glass one and half inches thick.
So far he has not been able TO do so.
though he had cabled TO I dozen fac
tories in Europe. They all reply that
it is impossible to make such large
slabs of that thickness Mr.. Wood
man, however, who knows about glass
for aquarium tanks, says it can be
made, and hopes yet to be able to OBJ
tain it. - New York World.

Mr.. Rupert, who wrote book about
his travels in America, says of this ap-
proaeh To the city by night:
cit is n mountain looming ont of
the water, some three miles in length
and all ablaze with lights running up
ward in close parallel lines and losing
themselves in the cloudless horizon
above, among twinkling stars This
miniature armament, profusely deck
eel with stars of gold, and seemingly
floating over the waters of the bay, is
San Francisco sleeping"
BY daylight il still looms above the
blue waters. high ridge, and still
higher hills. with great irregular mas
ses of buildings. steeples, and towers
against the sky. Sometimes the gray
sea-fog drifts in and lies in dark wall
behind the city, or sweeps in rivers
across 1t; sometimes the crisp health
full wind blows across from the ocean (;
sometimes the whole atmosphere is of
Italian brightness and purity but at
all times and seasons the city is pic
turesque.
The Biographies refer to San Fran
cisco as occupying the northern end
of peninsula thirty miles long; but
il seems far more like many peaked
island. Within this territory of about
six miles square are four hills that are
more than nine hundred feet high,
and dozens of lesser hills. Magniii-
cent views are obtained from all the
slopes and SUBMITS. The cottages of
the poor often occupy sites that "A mill
lionaire might envy; and beyond n
doubt the magnificent views that every
part Of San Francisco affords have be-
come very dear to all who live here,
and have greatly aided in making its
citizens an outdoor race. st, Nioho-

How was that?' / inquired.
"'Why, he was treasurer, contin-

money like drunken sailor. We

When We did locate him the money

"Did you punish him when ie re-

Yes, replied Connor, 'he was
tried for what would be embeZzlement

but we couldn't do anything with
him.
"'Why not?'
"'We have only two punishments,

he has been punished in advance by
