Confederate Postage Stamns.

Persons who have kept any of the
old letters they received in the south
during the war might do we'll to look
them over. The Confederate govern.
ment authorized the issue and use of
local postage stamps, and nearly every
city in the south at one time had its
own stamp. Many thousands of these
we're used. but so rare are they now
that they bring very high prices.
There is among collectors keen de.
mand for them, and an idea of what
they will bring may be gathered from
the report of sale which occurred re.
GENTLY at the rooms Of the Philatelist
society, New York. Local Confederate
stamps sold as follows: Athens, Ca,
$40; four varieties of the Baton Rouge
(La.l 8 cent. $4l, $77 and $50 respec-
lively; Macon, two varieties, for $6S so
and S16l; Lenoir, N. c., sSa, and Mo-
bile 2 cent, black, $41 80. As time
goes on these ouriosities will probably
increase in value. They are already
beyond the reach of everybody but
wealthy collectors.-Atlanta Journal.

Niagara's Great Power.

Now that the great Niagara power
plant is in part completed and about to
realize what for years has been the
dream of engineering economists, it
Is interesting to recall one of several
OF the pet schemes advanced in earlier
days as means of utilizing the power
OF the falls. The modest proposition
was made by an inventor, who had
cropped up somewhere, to have a large
tube laid from Chicago to New York
City via Niagara Falls, and then. by
turning the Niagara River into a mon
ster turbine, compress air to about 800
pounds pressure per square inch in this
suoe' Inc latter was to be tapped at
the cities along its line and power fur
nished as required. AS an improve
ment on this scheme some mechanical
genius at the time suggested that the
air COMPRISING machinery be dis.
pensed with as too complicated, and
that the turbine be geared direct to a
shaft which should be laid through the
State of New York from west to east.
From this shaft power could be de.
iivered by means of belts or gears di.
reetly to the machinery in The factories
along the line of the shaft. The sup-
gestion carried more weight of metal
with it than any ever made in connec.
tion with a mechanical construction.
put the idea was not more absurd than
thousands to be found in the history of
tne worlds mechanical progress

A Foundation Sacrifice.

1t was recently ascertained that the
tower of Darlington church about four
miles from Ponterfract had suffered
some damage during the winter gales.
The foundations were carefully exam
ined, when 1t was found that under the
west side of the tower, only about
foot deep from the surface, the body of
man had been placed in sort of bed
In a solid rock, and the west wall was
actually resting upon his skull.
The gentle vibration of the tower
had opened the sutures in the skull
and caused crack about 81 inches
long The grave must have been pre-.
pared and the wall placed with de-
liberate intention upon the head of
the person buried, and this was done
with such care and art that all remain
ed as placed for at least 600 years-till.
In fact, the storm of December last
found out the weak place. The place
can be seen, being protected by
framework Of bricks.-Yorkshire Her
