SPLENDID VALUE.
A Few Figures Showing the Magnitude Of the
Encyclopedia Britannica Now Offered by
the Journal.

Few realize the vast work of producing
such reservoir of knowledge rs the En-
cyclopedia Britannica, and the extent to
which it will serve as complete library for
any home. Figures of rhetoric fail, and
only those of arithmetic will serve to give
practical idea Of the enlarged up to-
date Encyclopedia which the Journal is
now placing at the disposal of every
reader.
Here are few facts and figures to In
dictate Its magnitude: Twenty five large
quarto volumes comprise tie set 1t

or an average Of almost 1000 pages to
each volume. There are 49, 404 articles,
each averaging in length one and one
fourth pages. An average of 142 specially
written and signed articles are found in
each volume, total of 3399 -Four fiftbs

locating John Halls. Jr.. and William
Royce in their cells took them outside
and hanged them for assaulting Miss
Laura Barnett.
The story Of the crime was the topic
Of discussion here all day. Business
was practically suspended and shop
Keepers and their clerks gathered in
knots on the street corners and dis
cussed the affair with farmers who
hocked to the city during the day. Short
~ after nightfall ominous mutterlngs
were heard and some openly counscled
the more quiet of their neighbors TO
take summary vengeance on the per-
petrators of the crime and not take the
chances of the laws delay or the tech
nicalities which might arise and even
tnally free the men.
As early as 10 o'clock the crowd con-
gregated on the main street, and it
only needed vcnturesome leader TO
proceed TO the Jail at once. That leader
was soon found. From whispered
threats the cry arose for vengeance,
swelling on the night air until it
echoed and reechoed from one end of
Danville to the other. A rush was
made for the Jail. whore. under fear of

on having the lives of the two cover

doors, the mob whs met by Sheriff
Thompson, who denied admission and,
retiring behind the doors. locked and
doubled boltcd them.
The crowd procured n telegraph pole
and railroad iron, and at 1850 bat
tered in the outer door. The be-
s;ogo-s thro1ged Il; and commenced
work qp the inner door.
At 2 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sont
for Judge Bookwalter, of the circuit
court. who addressed the crowd from
the Jail corridor. He counseled them
TO peace and order. and for a minute,
and but a minute only, his words
were needed. Then another desperate
attempt was made 10 reach the cells
where the two men were secreted.
Finally Royce was located crouching
and shivering with fear. His cell door
was quickly battered down. a
score OF hands dragged him unceremo-
niously from his hiding place un-
derneath the wooden bench which
serves prisoners as their bed. Half
dragged and half pushed he was
hustled into the dining-room and seat
ed on the table. A rope was placed
over his head. and while part OF the
mob kept close guard over him the
others continued the search for Halls
until he was discovered in another and
more remote portion of the Jail
At 1915 o'clock the mob secured both
OF the prisoners and started toward the
bridge with ropes about their neclSs.

scene of their crime.

Glass Bricks.

Hollow bricks OF glass are being
used in the construction of the walls
OF winter gardens and plant houses.
They are so set that the hollows are
filled with rarefied air, which is a nom
conductor of heat. The bricks are laid
in cement that unites the entire mass
firmly. 1t is thought to be possible to
use bricks without any support, and
experiments are being made on roofing
with this glass, which, put up in arch
shape, will, it is hoped, be sufficiently
strong to answer all purposes without
the wood or iron frames ordinarily
used in such buildings. Houses of this
material are said to be heated at much
less cost than those made after other
methods. The light comes through the
bricks, and extra windows are not
necessary. The system is thought to
combine great strength and economy,
and if it is a success will almost revo-
lutionize the building of plant houses.

Cultivating SpOnges.

harge areas Of water along the coast
Of Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico, are
devoted to this novel and, it is said,
profitable industry. Sponge farms be-
came necessary because of the posi-
BILE exhaustion of the natural fisheries;
cultivated sponges are. also superior
and easily accessible. The only prep
aration necessary for a farm is the
dropping of rocks and stones into the
water for the sponges to fasten to,
and to build a lagoon to prevent the
seed from being carried out to sea. In
the autumn various varieties Of
sponges, including the male and fe-
male cells, are secured and kept in
pounds" which develop during the
winter. In the spring they are lib
Grated and soon fasten to the rocks.
The sponge grows slowly and is gen
orally pulled at the end of the third
year, the smaller sizes being left for
seed. Sponges are worth from $1.5O
to So per pound.

Easy Divorce in Turkey.

Divorce in Turkey is obtained with
a facility which would surprise even
our transa tlantic cousins. AS easily
as Abraham cast forth Hagar, the
bondWoman, and her child, so also
can the Turk open the door of his
harem, and send out into the world
the woman who no longer pleases
him. He has but to give her back her
dover and personal effects. In the
upper classes, however, certain legal
formalities are gone through, and, in
deed, as the lady is usually protected
by her parents divorce is, compara-
lively speaking, rare. I know in
stances, however, in Constantinople
of ladies in the highest official circles
who are not yet very far advanced
in years, who have been divorced
twice, thrice, and even ten times
Among the lower orders divorce may
well be described as a farce. Many
girls who are not yet 20 years Of age,
have been divorced and remarked a
dozen times. The surprises of divorce
are among the most amusing features
of Turkish social life. A very great
parsonage, second only to the Sultan
in rank, unless, indeed, it be the Sheik
VI Islam, married some few years ago,
when his position was very inferior
to what it is at present a highly ed,1-
Gated lady, Of good connection and
fortune, but, according to his EXCEL
lency's version of the story, of ungov-
ernable temper. Within year they
were divorced and remarked. The
lady soon found her new husband
disa greeable, and was once more di-
vorced. 1t must be remembered that
if Turk can divorce his wife, she can
only divorce him at his pleasure, by
making herself as unpleasant to him
as possible. In former times he tied
her up in sack and had her dropped
into the Bosporus- to-day he divorces
her. To return to the lady in Ques-
ton. The next time she was heard
Of by her friends was as a teacher in
the Mohammedan High school for
Girls at Scutari. A few years back
she was selected as governess for
the children Of the Khediva, and is
now her Highness' private secretary,
in which quality she accompanied her
imperial mistress to Constantinople
last year, and actually found herself
seated at a state banquet at Yildiz
Kiosk next to the third wife of her
first husband, who quietly asked her
who she was. Observation-Disclosures

ElectHaY Soldering and CurIfH9
Irons.

Electric soldering irons are rapidly
taking the place of iron heated in the
ordinary way. The iron can be
brought to the required temperature
in an instant by inserting the termi-
nal on the flexible cord carrying the
current in the handle of the iron, and
all the trouble of making and main
tanning a fire is saved The iron is
provided with interchangeable copper
tips, so that when one becomes worn
another can be substituted at slight
cost. The ease and rapidl.y with
which electric heating can be effected
are bringing this class of apparatus
forward not only in the industries,
but in the domain of domestic econ
omy. One Of it's most popular forms
is the electric curling iron heater.
The heater is suspended from an or
binary electric light socket, thus
avoiding damage to furniture which
might possibly be caused by an ap-
paratus mounted on a stand and set
on table or stand. This appliance is
now very much used by ladies in
travelling. The connection is made in
a moment. and there is no necessity
for stringing long, flexible cord to
the table. In order to obtain the high
est economy the heating resistance is
inserted in the curling tongs; this in
sures the application of the heat at
exactly the right place. and when the
tongs are ready for use, which takes
about half a minute, the current is
gradually reduced by means Of
compensating resistance. The regu-
1ation of the heat is thus entirely
within the control of the person using
the iron. The electric curling iron is
the only appliance yet devised that
will effect it's purpose without run.
