East IocGEnOtiVes.

1t has been claimed that the cele-
brated Empire worlds fair express
made 112 miles an hour, but the state
ment fails entirely of authorization.
The figure of 1927 miles per hour for
short distances appears to be nearer
the mark, and even if there were an
error of a second the rate would still
have been 100 miles an hour. Between
Jersey City and Philadelphia it is a
common occurrence for the engines
hauling the Blue Line trains to reach
9Omiles an hour. Speeds of over "a miles
an hour are often made by the Phila'
delphia & Reading and Central New
Jersey flyers. In England Great
Northern train has made Sal miles an
hour; while a Midland train between
London and Scotland has run up to the
same speed. The London & North
western has gone up to SIS. The con
tinent of Europe does not appear to at
ford any examples at all approximat
ing the American and English records

dislike of the government officials t.

POP EfG-PiPE.
The Queer Will of Famous Dutch Smoker
Who Died at Ninety-Eight.

In its discussion of the question
whether it is injurious to smoke to-
bacco, the Cleveland Plain Dealer re-
calls the history of Mynheer Van Klaes,
a famous old merchant in Holland, who
was such an inveterate smoker that he
was nicknamed Pop Big-Pipe." He
made large fortune in the India trade,
and built mansion near Rotterdam, in
which he collected every imaginable
kind of pipe. 1t was said that he
smoked one hundred and fifty grammes
of tobacco every day, and died at the
age of ninety-eight years. In making
his will, after bequeathing to his rela-
tives, friends and charities large pro-
portion of his estate, he added the fol-
lowing clause:
81 wish every smoker in the kingdom
to be invited to my funeral in every
way possible, by letter, circular and
advertisement. Every smoker who
takes advantage of the invitation shall
receive as present .ten pounds of to-
bacco and two pipes on which shall be
engraved my name, my crest, and the
date of my birth. The poor of the
neighborhood who accompany my bier
shall receive every year on the anniver-
sary of my death large package of to-
bacco. l make the condition that all
those who assist at my funeral, if they
wish to partake of the benefits of my
will, must smoke without interruption
during the entire ceremony. Ny body
shall be placed in coffin lined through
out with the wood of my old Havana
cigar boxes. At the foot of the coffin
shall be placed box of the French to-
bacco called 'Caporal and a package of
our old Dutch tobacco. At my side
place my favorite pipe and box OF
matches, for one never knows what
may happen. When the bier rests in
the vault all the persons in the funeral
procession are requested to cast upon it
the ashes Of their pipes as they pass it
on their departure from the grounds"
1t is said that Van IAlaes, on the day
that he made this eccentric will, sum-
moned notary, who was also a notable
smoker, and said to him: Fiji my pipe
and yours. 1 am going to die" He
then dictated the will and died.

An Ancient Bank Note.

The Bank Of England has in its pos
session a bank note dated December
10, 1899, for 1855. 1t was printed from
an engraved plate, but had blank spaces
for the amount, date, number, and sig
nature. Across it are written memo
randa, showing that it was repaid in
three installments. In appearance it is
not altogether unlike the modern note.
In the bank library is another note for
EOS, which was not presented for III
years. Another curiosity, said to be
unique, is a note for no less than
81 900, 900, dated 1882.

temptuous references to everything

One of her friends undertook to ad-
minister social discipline in e unique
way. She sent out invitations to a
lunch party in honor OF the returned
traveller and collected large company
in her drawing-room. After the guest
had been cordially welcomed, the doors
in the dining-room were opened.
The room had been decorated with
bunting and the flowers were massed
in effects of red, white and blue. There
were flags everywhere, in the chande-
ler, on the mantel and on every bit of
plate or china displayed on the table.
The table reserved for the guest was
draped with the national colors.
Never, perhaps, was broader hint
conveyed at social reception that it is
i'll bred and bad form to be ashamed OF

THE "CROWNER's QUEST"
An Absurd Old Law Which Has Some
Very Undesirable Results.

An Absurd Old Law Which Has Some
Very Undesirable Results.
Dickens, who so often studied with
delighted interest the application OF
English law to particular cases, would
have found a subject worthy of his
grimmest humor in the fact, cabled
recently from London, that when the
master of fishing smack, cruising near
where the Elbe went down, saw float
ing in the water a dead body, which
was doubtless that of a victim of the
great disaster, he made 10 effort to res
cue it from the waves and carry it
ashore for Identification and burial.
Instead he sailed past and away from
the doleful bit of fotsam as quietly as
circumstances would permit, not, as
one might suppose, because he was a
particularly hard-hearted and cold
blooded mariner, but because recent
ly, after landing body, he had been
forced to pay the funeral expenses. :
Curious as that experience had been
and delightfully."- illustrative as it was
of ''crowner's quest wisdom, the cap
tain had no inclination to repeat il.
One lesson had been enough to teach
him the great principle that common
sense cannot be allowed to interfere
with consistency in the enforcement Of
a parliamentary act, and what, in com
parison with that, is the continued
agonized uncertainty Of some German
wife Or mother?

'Iigh Speed at Which the Expresses Trav-
eIed Fifty Years Ago.
# anybody were asked what compar-
ison exists between the speed of rail
road trains now and fifty years ago he
would probably say that hardly any
can be made.
The difference, however, is far less
than is generally supposed. In May,
1S4S, the Great Western railway engine
Great Britain was driven by Engineer
Almond from Paddington to Didcot,
fifty-three miles, in forty-seven min
utes, starting and stopping. When we
consider that the brakes in those days
were very crude this is pretty fast tray
cling.
Nor was this done once, but repeat
eddy.
The broad-gauge expresses are fire.
quently timed at the rate of a mile in
forty-eight seconds, or seventy-fve
miles an hour, and even higher max
imum was attained for short distances.
The Bradshaw for 1S4S shows that
the morning express was timed to leave
Paddington at $50 o'clock and start
again from Didcot at 10:47. Allowing
tour minutes for the stop at Didcot the
train must have been officially timed at
mile minute
The railway records show that the
traiu often arrived under time,
These facts should silence a great
many persons who pirate about the phe,
nomenal progress recently made in rail
road matters in general and rapid tran
sit in particular.

TO SEE PLANTS GROW.
Experiments by Which their Growth May
Be Both Seen and Heard.

BE BOth seen ana Heard.
There are several ways of rendering
the growth of plants both audible and
visible, but the modus operandi in the
--latest improved" experiments is as fol-
lows: In order to make the growth
of very vigorous plant visible, fine
platinum wire should be carefully at
tached to the growing part. The other
end of this wire should be attached to
pencil pressing gently against drum
which is being driven by clockwork. If
the growth be uniform straight line
is marked on the paper, but the very
slightest increase is shown by inclined
tracing.
A slight modification of this arrange
ment renders the growth audible. In
this experiment the drum must be
covered with platinum foils of certain
width, and separated from each other
by spaces about one-eighth Of an inch
These strips of platinum should be
made to complete the circuit of gal
vanic battery, to which an electric
bell has been attached. In this case
the bell is kept continually ringing
while the plant is growing the height
of the width of the strips used and
is silent while the pointer is passing
over the spaces between the strips OF
metal. The growing of corn may be
heard direct by means OF the micro
phone, and there are those who declare
they have heard it without any arti
fetal assistance whatever.

Judaism a Religion.

is a religion and a man Of any other re-
ligion may turn to IL IL he chooses to do
so and he may be admitted into the -
ish foid IL he can abide an examination
satisfactory to the rabbinical authorities.
There are even rabbis who have facili-
tated the entrance OF outsiders into Ju :
daism by relieving them from the more
perplexing rites OF the Mosaic law.
Once in a while we hear OF the copver-
sion to Judaism OF q man who was not
born in IL. There was q case Of that kind
in Brooklyn q short time ago. The man
was in love with a Jewess but her pa =
rents would not permit her to marry him
unless he accepted their religion. 80 he
promptly accepted 1t, and, after he had
been admitted into the synagogue, the
twain were married by the rabbi. There
was a curious case up In Brooklyn court
last Friday. About half year ago, a
Brooklyn man who was not Jew got
married TO Jowess without the know
ledge OF her parents, who, upon finding
out what had happened, were disturbed,
and gave the husband notice that he
could not retain their daughter as his
wife unlesss ne became Jew. The hus-
band refused TO turn Jew. lie was ar

made by the parents, who desired a di-
yorce for their daughter. The court at
once dismissed the charge and released
the prisoner, who thereupon accompa-
MED his Jewish wife tn their home. The
three big brothers Of the Je.ess tried to
take her away from her husband by force
but she stuck 10 the man whom she had

Mss NJ. K. Braddon.

Miss Braddon has this week published
her fifty-sixth novel; The fact would be
interesting were il barely a question Of
an invention practically unique a mind
unfailing and prolific; but there are in
structivs points opened up by the occa-
sion. 1t may not, perhaps, be generally
known in America that Miss Braddon
dreams of Sir Walter Besant and Mr..
Hall Game She has contrived 10 do
without q publisher. The imprint OF
Mcssrs. Simpkin, Marshall Il Co. appears,
II is true, upon her title page, but the SER
vice they do her Is merely that OF the
distributor. All the financial and busi-
ness arrangements are in her own hands.
Mortover,it 1t is rum mored that In the case OF
this new novel of hers she Is about 10
fight the Libraries on the crucial question
OF price. Since Nude and Smith Issued
their circular deprecating the three-vol-
ume novel, authors who have adhered 10
the old regime have found the publish
ers at periodical issue with the Libraries.
Shall the book be published at fueen
shillings 10 the trade, or at twelve?
Herein lies the difficulty; and, as rule,
the publishers have to give way. Miss
Braddon, IL is said, declines to do so, and
II is not impossible that her novel may
be boyootted at both the great Libraries.
Should she Gerry the usy, her success
would certainly be "a strong weapon in
the hands OF the opponent OF the middle
man. Still, ii must be remembered that
what is possible to Miss Braddon, the
queen OF the circulating library,is neith-
er expedient nor practical in the case of
an author less universally popular. Moth

the discussion will certainly be advanced
