Tomhs OF the Danish Kings.

In the resting place of the old kings
of Denmark, the Cathedral of Rokes-
kid, a recent visitor notes that there
is a column against which r. number OF
monarchs have been measured, and
upon which their different heights are
recorded. One of then is Peter the
Great, and we learn by this means
that the ~shipwright Gar measured nc
less than eighty Danish inches, equiv
alent to something like six feet, ten
inches in our measurement. Only one
other of the soyereigns was taller, and
that was Christian [ Of Denmark, who.
according to this authority. was just a
trifie over seven feet English. The
Gear, Alexander III, is about six feet
one inch, and is about a couple OF
inches taller than Christian TX Of
Denmark, and about four inches taller
than King George Of Greece, neither
of whom, nevertheless, is what would
be called q short man. 1t is worth

q mistake in the figures reported or the
claim is not correct. The depth OF
10000 feet has been exceeded three
times. In what is called the ''inter-
national deep" near the island OF st.
Thomas, one Of the West Indies, indie
pendent soundings were made by
American and English officers and a
depth of 27,366 feet established. In
1874 the British ship Challenger found
a depth of 27,450 feet near the La
drone Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and
in the same year the United States
ship Tuscarora, under command OF
Captain George E. Belknap, sounded
to the depth of 27,930 feet near the
Kurile Islands in the North Pacific.

Gas Enr Ennking.

While electricity is trenching so
seriously upon the field of gas light
ing, any recent application of gas
which leads to M extension of its con-
sumption is OF Importance to gas pro-
ducers. Some foreign companies seem
to nave done this quite successfully in
at least one direction. At the recent
Dundee meeting of the North British
association OF Gas Managers one mem
Der, Mr.. j. B~allantyne, OF Rothesay,
stated that the company had gained
an increase OF consumption of at least
forty per cent. in about six years, due
to cooking by gas among its custom
ers. Tie gas company furnishes the
cookers to its patrons at a rental OF
ten per cent. of the list cost price per
annum, which charge also includes
putting them in, taking them away
and keeping them in order. About
eleven per cent. of the customers are
supplied. His and other companies
have not only found this a profitable
part of their market, but it has the
added advantage of being nearly a day.
light consumption, thus tending to
equalize the demand on the plant

THE SILENT BATTLE,

Shall / tell you about the b.ttie
That was fought in the world to-day.
Where thousands went down like heroes
To death in the pitilsss fray?
You may know sons OF the worrdsd
And some of the fallen when
tell you this wonderful BATHS
Was fought f. tie hearts OF men.
Not with the sounding Of t%runpets,
Nor clashing Of sabers drawn,
But, silent as twilight in autumn,
All day the fight went on.
And over against temptation
A mothers prayers were cast
That had come by silent marches
From the lullaby land Of the past.
And over the field of battle
The force of ambition went,
Driving before it. like arrows.
The children Of sweet content
And memories odd and olden
Came up through the dust OF years,
And hopes that were glad and golden
Were met by a host of fears.
And the heart grew worn and weary
And said sob, can it be
That I am worth the struggle
You are making to-day for me-"
For the heart itself was the trophy
And prize oithis wavering fight!
And tell me. O gentle reader.
Who camps on the field tonight?

The New York Times says: The rs

The New York Times says: The rail
road statistics Of this country have
reached such imposing figures that it
is difficult to grasp their significance.
A summary has just been issued by the
Statistical Division of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the year
ending June 1892, which seems to be
very much belated, but liz the latest
official statement of the extent of the
railroad system of the country and OF
its operation. 1t shows that more than
a year ago there were over 10000
miles of railroad operated by 1922 cor
porations, whose aggregate capitaliza-
tion considerably exceeded 10000
900, 900. Some idea may be formed Of
the meaning of 80, 900 locomotives and
1900, 900 cars, of which one-half OF
the former and three-fourths of the
latter are for freight, but when it
comes to the figures representing the
number of passengers and tons OF
freight carried, they get out of ones
comprehension. We can understand
the interesting fact that more than
82o, 900 persons find employment in
the service Of railroads, or one in less
than eighty Of the inhabitants OF the
country. We can also appreciate the
statement that one in 1922 Of these is
killed and one in Twenty-Five injured
by accidents every year. The enor-
nous figures representing capital en-
ployed or value of property in rail.
roads are less comprehensive than
those relating to income and profits,
which are not as a whole SC very allur-
ing. About 15A per cent. Of the funded
debt of railroads paid no interest for
the year covered by the report and
mor than sixty per cent. of capital
stock paid no dividends. The net in
come from operation and investments
amounted TO something over $780,
0OO, 900, Of which $416, OO0, 600 was
absorbed in fixed charges. The amount
paid in dividends was something less

The effect of a newspaper paragraph

The effect Of a newspaper paragraph
may be ~far-reaching in its legal conse-
quences sometimes especially in
France. M. Cornet, overseer at the
West of France Engine Works, was
severely attacked in the columns of q
railroad newspaper L'Echo des Chem
list de Fer (Enlish, ''The Railway
Echo"). He took these criticisms 80
much to heart that he committed sui
cide, leaving a widow and child. The
said widow brought suit for damages
against L'Echo, holding that her hus-
bands death was the direct result Of
the criticisms in that paper, and the
court, e%oncurring in that view, award
ed the full amount claimed, ten thou
sand dollars, and condemned the news
paper in the entire costs of the action.

Animalized Liquids.

Among the peculiar preparations of
the Mongolians and Chinese are GER
tain snimalized liquids, which consist
of the flesh of different kinds of ami.
mals-sucha as sheep, dogs, deer, snakes,
etc.-macerated in distilled liquors
with various other ingredients, as
sugar, honey, r~aisins, milk, ETC., and
then subjected to boiling under con-
siderable pressure. The liquid thus
prepared has a very strong odor of the
animal substances used, and is sweet

Key-winding watches have been so
thoroughly out of date for nearly ten
year past that it is now difficult to
sell them for a tenth of their original
cost, no matter how we'll made they
may be. Watch dealers will allow for
them in exchange a little more than
the value of the gold or silver in the
case, not with the idea of selling the
works, but rather to keep them on
hand for lending to customers while
their own watches are mending.

A frosty presage fills the air,
The hills are lost in haze, and soon
High in the heavens. full and fair,

And with the moonrise she will come
Down garden paths we knew OF old,
Where summers fairest flowers lie numb
With withered red and gold;
All save the flower of love-confessed
The bloom that holds is most in thrall,
And this within her faithful breast
Doth spring perennial.
