They Are Not Only Signaled, But Started
and Stopped by the Lightning Fluid.
There is a vast difference between
the latest perfected elevator and the
elevator of a few years ago, says the
New York Mail and Express. The
electric elevator is the latest. The
passenger signals it by a teleseme, as
the appliance is called by which he
presses button labeled ''Take me
up or take me down. as may be, in
response to which faint buzzing in
the car of the conductor Of each car,
whether there are two or half a dozen,
draws his attention to an Indicator
that shows on what floor the passenger
IS and which way he wants to 60. The
first car to pass that floor going his
way takes him. ~ ....s .>.,.s> !.
But the most novel point is that
electricity is also used in running the
cars. The conductor does not pull a
steel cable nor grasp handle as big as
the reverse bar of a locomotive. He
presses button and the elevator
rushes up, another button and it de-
sends. a third and it stops. Before
long the elevator, men will be called
operators at this rate. and charming

Buried Treasure in Italy.

For centuries it has been the belief
of the common people of Genoa that
treasures We're hidden in the bed Of the
Polcavera, stream that runs by the
city. Recently a carter, in digging for
sand in the bed Of the dried-up torrent,
came upon hidden treasure, OF which
SO far coin of the face value of sixty
thousand francs has been found, and
the supply is not yet exhausted. BY
the italian law half of this goes to the
state and half to the finder. The value
of the coins is far beyond the, sum men,
toned: many of them are rare and of
great artistic value. They are chiefly
gold, and belong to the period between
AGO and 1550-that is, the reigns of
Louis III, Charles VIII, Louis XII.
and Francis L., and are all either
French or Genoese. The Genoese
ducats are specially rare and will fetch
high prices. The search for treasure
is going on under police supervision.

They Are Helpful to Cavalry Horses on
I, 4. Long Marches. III
Il When paper horseshoes were first in
troduced into the cavalry service of
the German army few years ago they.
excited a good deal of interest. >,Sev-
eral cavalry horses were first shod
with the paper shoes and the effect OBJ
served. twas found, says the Chicago
Herald, that not only did the lightness
and elasticity Of the shoe help the
horse on the march, making it possible
for him to travel faster and farther
without fatigue than horses shod with
iron, but that the paper shoe had the
property of being unaffected by water
and other liquids. These new sheets
Of paper are pressed closely together,
one above another, and rendered i'm
peryious to the moisture by the'appli-
cation of oil of turpentine. The sheets
are glued together by a sort of paste
composed of turpentine, whiting, gum
and linseed oil, and then submitted to
q powerful hydraulic pressure. Paper
horseshoes are also made by grinding
up the paper into a mass, combining it
with turpentine, sand, gum, litharge
and certain other substances, pressing
itand afterward drying it. But these
shoes are less tough and elastic than
those made Of thin sheets of paper laid
one upon another. These shoes are
fastened to the horses feet either by
means of nails or with kind of glue
made Of coal tar and caoutchouc. r-

Feeds His Horse by Clockwork.

George W. Belt Of Auburn has invent
ed an ingenious device for feeding his
horse, and he does it with one of the Or
binary little alarm clocks. The horse
gets it's feed Of grain when the alarm
goes off. For instance, if Mr.. Belt wants
the horse to have it's morning feed of
grain at 5 O'Clock, and he himself does
not care to turn out until 6 O'Clock, he
sets his alarm for O'Clock, and when
the morning comes the horse gets it's
breakfast an hour before its owners
eyes are open. 1t is SO arranged that the
alarm pulls the slide, letting the grain
run through sluice to the Manager

since the beginning Of the sixteenth cen,
tury. There is ample documentary evil
dence to this effect, and the great&t dis
asters to the Spanish fleets are here re-
counted in their chronologic order.
OF the feet sent against Algiers in
1918, under Admiral Don Hugo de Mon
cada, 80 vessels foundered in . storm,
with 1000 men on board.
Another expedition against Algiers,
sent by Emperor Charles Vim l541, lost
14O vessels on the rocks of Marocco,
$500 men losing their lives.
OF the feet that sailed in 1869, under
General Mendoza, to deliver Gran from
the Mussulmans, 20 ships, including
the flagship, with the above named gen.
eral on board, never returned.
A year later, in the fall of 1868, a
cyclone in the bay of Cadiz sent 10 Of
the governments best caravels to the
bottom
In 1888 the famous armada, believed
to be invincible, met her doom in the
English channel, 81 ont of $50 vessels
sinking with most Of their crews. The
loss of men is estimated at $4,000.
Fourteen Of Admiral Don Antonio
Navarro's vessels foundered in a storm
off the Mexican coast near San Juan de
Ulloa in 1890. lt...-
Six years later a fearful storm in the
Biscayan bay caused the loss of Al YES
sells belonging to the feet Of Admiral
Martin de Padilla.
Not long after this Admiral Marquis
de Santa Cruz lost 10 vessels, with 2, 800
men, on the Corsican coast.
After a long pause General Jose Pr
zarro lost five men-of-war in an engage
ment with the English in 1741.
Within the last 1875 years the records
are much easier of access, and the fig
ures can be given absolutely correct. In
this time the Spaniards lost ~ large
battleships under steam and g. first
class sailers, with 1870 guns; % frig-
ates, with 800 guns, and more than
100 gunboats, torpedo boats, briggs,
galeotes, etc. The loss Of life in this
period is conservatively estimated at &c.
500 men.
Thus the worst enemy of Spanish su-
premacy on the seas seems to be other
than man. More than double the num-
Der of ships have been lost by the in
clemencv Of the elements than were lost
in battle.-Philadelphia Record.

Mrs. Carlisle on Finance.

q pretty little story of Mrs. John G..

Of the Washington press: It seems she
was asked to contribute to one Of the re-
cent numbers of woman 8 editions issued
for the benefit of charity. When the re-
quest was rendered the secretary's wife,
it was asked that she should write upon
finance. Mrs. Carlisle replied, with
charming franhess and the soul of wit,
"The only thing I know upon the sub
ject of finance with sufficient clearness
to write authoritatively is that 81 will

FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN.

What to Put and What Not to Put in
Their Lunch Baskets.
One of the most important of the
many duties of mothers is that of put
ting up the school luncheon. The best
medical authorities attribute many of
the cases of dyspepsia, as we'll as the
anRmic condition in which children are
often found, to the particularly indi-
gestible nature of their luncheons.
Instead, however, of telling what not
to take, ]. propose briefly to tell what
may be safely INDUCED in by children at
noon. The articles are few, but such
as will be enjoyed by any child with a
healthful appetite.
Milk should be given as a, drink as
we'll as food 1t may be carried in an
ordinary glass bottle. With this, a few
graham crackers and dates will suffice.
Another day, the lunch may consist Of
brown, bread and butter, milk and an
apple or orange. Children crave sweets,
and square of sweet chocolate with
bread and butter may be INDUCED in
twice week with safety. Baked ap-
pies or pears are nice, if they can be
carried in a half-pint, wide-mouthed pre-
serve jar.
Children do not require meat more
than once day, and it should then be
given them hot, juicy and rare. Never
wrap the food in paper, either brown
or newspaper. The waxed confec-
toners paper may be used, as may also
Japanese napkins. which keep the lunch
from drying out even better than linen
napkins. =
+ A wicker basket being porous, is the
best receptacle: next 70 that paste
board box, but tin should never be
used. g.. '..
Too much cannot be said against the
pernicious habit of giving children
money to buy their lunches at store.
where they invariably choose candy,
lemons. pickles or stale cake and what
ever is prominently bad for their small
digestions.
Another important matter to be at
tended tots proper mastication. 1t is
said of De Lesseps that he insists that
his children shall chew each mouthful
Of food fifty times. Without going to
extreme lengths it is well to impress
upon even the youngest child that food
must be thoroughly chewed, and, while
one is about it, it is quite easy to teach
them to chew with their mouths closed.
A two-year old baby of my acquaintance
obeys both these rules perfectly.-Coun-
try Gentleman. ~----'---

nov % Mako Ice Cream.

The Home Circle says that the secret
OF hne uncooked ice cream is a previous
scalding OF the milk, which renders ~
more creamy, and the use Of but few
eggs, not over two to q quart. Beware
Of cheap vanilla essence;its adulteration;
renders it unsafe in cooking, particu-i
larly in ice cream. A nice, quick ice
cream is made in this way: Take three
fresh eggs, add one cup OF granulatedl
sugar, thoroughly beat, then add the
cream from q pan Of milk that was we'll
scalded with morning fire-use another
cup of cream if possible-beat again
adding desired havoring. Now add y
quart, or more, Of the scalded morn-.
ing's milk, one more cup Of sugar Or
one scant cut to q quart, then freeze.

the NEXT PARIS POSITION.
Attractive Features Proposed for the Uni-
N NJ versal Show In 1000. s$S N 3stS


\ Already they appear to Ne commenc-
ing preparations for the exposition Of
1900 in Paris. It would strike Amer
leans that the introduction OF electric
Iity for general lighting had not made
that progress one would expect there.
But this season, says the Pllilade lphia
Telegraph, the way in which e number
of streets have been torn up to put in
electric cables, shows that when the
exposition is open all Paris will be
brighter than ever by night. And now
everyone who gives thought to the
coming show lis racking his brains to
find something to distinguish the COM
ing from the preceding shows. Among
these has been proposed by the Petit
Journal scheme which it is thought
will be particularly interesting to the
children, and everyone knows how at
tractive that is to grown people, al
Ethough they may not be willing to ads
NIT it. It has been suggested by Ar
mand Dayot, inspector of fine arts, to
unite with the exposition of 1900 the
garden Of the Tuileries, which latter is
to be exclusively reserved for juvenile
attractions, to be a sort Of children's
paradise, quite apart from the amuse-
ments and distractions of the grown
people. There will be no lack Of vari-
ETY. to give success to the idea. There
will be interesting museums of chill
dren's toys, retrospective collections Of
dolls, where the crude terra Gotta darl-
ing which the blind. Nidia of Pompeii
may have carried may look from the
far end Of the line down to her. fn-de-
steele distant relative in gorgeous Paris
dressing and capable Of singing an
entire song in a squeaky,: graf
ing monograph falsetto! Then there
will be panoramas and dioramas in min
iature, to be decorated by such artists
as Boutet de Monvel and Kate Green
away. Punch and Judy shows in all
their variety and nationality, from all
corners Of the world and of all periods,
from the Chignot of the classic period
to the marionettes Of Boulogne, and
the Karaguez of Constantinople, all
displaying the antics of the same old
"Polichinelle," eternally raging to the
intense amusement of the children.
There are to be children's balls and
pony cavalcades under the trees, and
under cover sort of wax works show
ing children of genius in their early
days; such as Lulli, Mozart, Giotto,
Niviana, Canova and that astonishing
Henry de Heinecken, who at the age
Of two years spoke three languages
while yet in his nurses arms, and could
speak piece in Latin also.
1t is to be hoped that baby king of
Spain will send his baby regiment, and,
although they are Spanish soldiers,
they may be allowed by the French
government to- show their drill in the
garden. That the coming men and
women have had no place, nothing
suitable for their capabilities, in for
mer exhibitions must be acknowledged;
and that such a display, coupled with a
retrospective exhibition eff educational
methods, will make the whole affair
immensely attractive to both young
and old, no one will doubt. rs.r.
