A hlron Translated Book.

Of "Don Quixote" it may be said, sav- ing only the Bible it has boen translated oftcner and into moro languages than any other book. A recent Spanish editor, Don Lopez do Fabra, enunerates 150 editions of the Spanish masterpiece in foreign lan- guages. That computation is certainly short of the truth.
 Not only are there more translations in English of "Don Quixote" than any oth CT language, but it is England which from the first has done more honor to the all thor's work than any other country. The first critical edition of Dor Quixote" in Spanish, with the first life of Ccrvantes, by Mayansy Siscar, was published in Lon don in 173S, more than 40 years before the Spaniards had aroused themselves to do honor to their greatest writer.
 This edition, in four handsome volumes was printed suInptuously in all tho glory of tho Tonson press under the auspices of Lord Carterot at an ago when "Don Quix- ote'' was still appearing in his native country on filthy ballad paper in cxecra- ble type, uncorrected and unadorncd.-- Notes and Queries.

UNDER A CLOUD,
Is Cashier Jones of Roxboro N NC.-His Bank Robbed and He Confesses to
 a Shortage.

Richmond, Va, April 27.-A Roxboro, N. C., special to the Dispatch says: On Monday morning it was ascertained that the Farmers bank had been robbed of S2S04 On Thursday M. H. Palmer, state bank examiner, arrived here to examine the condition of the bank. He discovered a shortage, and that the books were out of balance.
 Soon after the discovery the cashier or the bank, MT. w. T. Jones' surrendered himself to the sheriff, acknowledging that he had loaned money without the author ity of the directors, and that there was a shortage in his accounts.
 No greater surprise could have come to our people. MT. Jones was considered the best of men, and when the robbery oc- cured, by some one entering the safe, no one ever dared suspect him, so correct had his character always been.
 Jones still denies any participation in, or knowledge of the robbery. He admits a shortage of $2300, and has made deed of trust, securing that amount. The doors of the bank have been closed and the state treasurer notified. warrant was sworn out this evening by the bank officials for Jones' arrest, and he is now in jail awaiting a hearing. It is not known what the real shortage is, but some think the depositors are not in any danger. though the stockholders will lose beo VilV

Age-Herald Bureau,

BeSSemer, April 27.
 Today was pay day at the Smith and the Ishkooda mines, and consequently the merchants and the dummy lines are doing a land office business, the Bir- mingham, Powderly and Bessemer> line running a double service. The flowing bowl is of course, fully indulged in and the chances are that Mayor Crook will see that the city treasury gets good red turn from fines and costs.
 z The infant child of MT. and Mrs. Al Benson died last night and was buried from the Catholic church this evening, Father Murray officiating.
 as Police Officer Ed Lynch who has been very i'll with an attack of typho-malarlal fever, is convalescing.
 ss The Bessemer Rifles had their regular monthly drill last night at their armory, when the medal for the prize drill was awarded. It was won by MT. George H ouston, this making the third consecu- tive time the medal has been awarded td him.
 The Rifles, under the command of their gallant young captain, MT. Waller, are coming to the front, and when t..eir indebtedness has been paid off, which it is hoped soon will be, the Rifles will be in excellent condition for any earnest or display services for which they may be called upon.
 MT. J. s. Chandler, the popular insur- ance man, will return home tonight. after an absence of some weeks. During his absence he attended the last sad rites of his mother, who died in Georgia.

COMING EVENTS.
Three Important Gatherings to Be Brought Together Here Next Month-0ne Hotel
 Sets Good Example.

The Methodist conference of the Bir- mingham district will meet in Birming ham early in May. The Christian En- deavor societies of the state hold their convention here on the 9th, 10th and 11th of May, and on the 20th of May the state convention of the E!pworth league will begin. it's annual session. All of these conventions will be largely attended, the last two especially. It is likely, however, that the attendance would be much larger if the hotels would give low rates to those desiring to be present. The Gel ders Hotel company, proprietors of the Opera House hotel, have made a rate of $1 day for all who come to Birmingham on either of these occasions as delegates or visitors to the conventions.
 The Epworth league is composed prin- cipally of the younger members of the Methodist church. and numbers several thousand in Alabama.

 The meeting is the result of a resolu- tion adopted by a committee of mine operatives selected by a mass meeting held Tuesday last. The resolution ex- blaine itself, and is as follows;
 Whereas, The undersigned committee was selected by a mass meeting of min CTS of Walker county on Tuesday, April 23, with power to add to the number all ready elected; and
 Whereas, Our instructions were to de- wise ways and means of bringing about a joint meeting of said committee and committee of representative operatives of Walker county. who do not desire to enrorce the cut of prices now enforced by the Corona Coal and Coke company, but would aid us (miners) to resist the said reduction, with the end in view of holding up the price of mining coal in said county; therefore be 1t

 President John G. Smiths Letter.
 President John G. Smith of the United Mine Workers of Alabama writes in ref erence to the call for the joint meeting and resolutions as follows:
 The above were indorsed by the mass meeting held at Oakman, Ala, by the miners yesterday, and each mine com mittee was instructed to notify their To- cal superintendent immediately of the joint meeting, and request that their company be represented. The situation at Corona is peculiar. Those men there are at work for reduction of one-seventh of their gross earnings, while their brother miners at the surrounding mines in the county are at work at the old scale, pledged to provide them with provisions as long as the lockout would last, backed by the management at the various mines, and as an earnest of what they will do provisions are now stored there without stint ready for them to accept and use.
 JOHN G. SMITH,

 The outcome of tomorrows meeting of operators and operatives is awaited by the mine workers with no little interest as it may be case of shut down of the Corona Coal and Coke company'S mines.

WEIGHING THE AIR.
A Serviccabis Barometer That Anybody
 May Make Without Expense.


 There is ono atmospheric phenomenon about which there is q widespread miecon- ception. When tho smoke lies close to tho surface of the earth, instead of moving up ward as it generally does, many people think it Is because tho air is heavy. The same people will tell you perhaps that damp air is heavier than dry air, for it is op days when tho air is damp that tho smoke lies close to the earth
 On tho contrary, damp air is lighter than dry air, and 1t is because the air is damp that the smoke does not ascend. It is purely question of gravity, of weight. If tho lower stratum of air be heavier than the smoke tho latter will go up; if it be lighter than tho smoke, the smoke will not go up so readily.
 The barometer is the instrun ent used by tho scientists to determine the relative weight of the air As usually made, it consists of cup of mercury, with which is connected graduated glass tube. From tho upper part of this tube the air has been exhausted, thus forming vacuum, and tho height of the column of mercury in the tube denotes tho weight of the atmosphere.
 Tho explanation of tals is quito simple. The pressure of tho atmosphere upon the mercury in the cup forces the mercury up into tho tube, where 1t meets no resistance because tho empty part of tho tube Is a vac uum. Hence the column of mercury will rise or fall in the tubc as the pressure is greater or less.
 Everybody is familiar enough with weather reports to know that we have Thigh barometer on clear, dry days and "low barometer" on damp days; that tho first indicates good weather and the last stormy weather But Thigh barometer" means that the column of mercury is we'll up in the tube and "low barometer that it is down. We know therefore that as dry air bears down moro heavily upon the mcr- cury in the cup than damp air, it must be heavier than damp air.
 A very simple and seryiceable barometer may be made at home, without cost. The only things needed are wide mouthed glass jar-a pickle bottle will do-a clean Venetian oil flask and half pint of plain water. Pour the water into the jar, let- ting it come to within one-third of the top, and insert tho oil flask upside down in tho jar, so that the neck of the flask will just enter tho water. That is all.
 If tho atmospheric conditions are fayora- ble to clear, fne weather, the water will rise in the flask? if, op tho contrary, Q storm is in prospect, the water will fall. The air affects tho water just as it does the mercury in the etube.-Philadelphi Times

Nilsson and Patti.

When Christine Nilsson the great sin ger, was asked her opinion of various singers, shc gave it very candidly of every one, including herself and Mme. Albani, but she never once alluded to Mime. Patti.
 "You havc not mentioned Mime. Patti, remarked the pertinacious interviewer.
 "No," said Mme. Nilsson, II have not You are asking about singers. I do not regard Patti as singer. Iplace her among the angels A Patti only comes to a planet once during that planets existence" Such an absence of stage jealousy has probably never been equaled.
