The King of Belgium.

A tall, slim, rigid faced man Of aus
tere manner is the king of Belgium. His
forehead is broad, his features keen, his
beard full and heavily streaked with
gray. King Leopold is 20 years old and
a simple lived, quiet potentate, who di-
vides his spare time between studying
scientific problems and outwalking his
courtiers. He eats or drinks sparingly,
sleeps on camp bed, rises abnormally
early, loves England and hates any
form of entertainment, especially thea
tiers. He is, however, a ravenous reader
and is posted up to date, not only on
matters of political Importance, but
with the court gossip Of the day. Per-
sonal1y he cannot be said to be popular
with his subjects, but he is not bad
sort, as kings go, and jealous adver-
sary of capital punishment "Never. +"
he declared before his accession, shall
a drop of blood flow during my reign. I"

Took the Whole Dax.

The other day well known plumber
of this city was called over the tele
phone to come in haste to a certain res
idence on Peaohtree street. When he ar
rived there, he was confronted by the
lady of the house, well known leader
in the social set, who told him that
there was freeze up in the water pipes
somewhere which she wanted him to
undo for her so that she could get at
the water. The plumber went to work
and investigated the house from top to
bottom, spending the entire day in the
search for the frozen part of the pipe.
He finally came down and told the lady
that he was of che opinion that the
pipes were all right and that there was
no freeze out anywhere
"Pardon me, madam, " said he, "and
don't think me impertinent. but did
you pay your water bill the first of the
month";
The lady of the house was thunder
struck She remembered that she had
not paid the water bill; that it had gone
over by mistake or forgetfulness.
"Well,'' said the plumber, therein
lies the freeze out. Your water supply
has been cut off by the water man"
Of course the plumber bill ran the
thermometer down few degrees far
ther, and the "freeze out" was com

How Fish Comes to the Surface.

A curious physiological discovery has
been made by Professor Bohr of Copen-
hagen in regard to the mode of storage
by which a fish accumulates SO much
oxygen in the air that distends the swim
ming or air bladder.
The air contained therein has per-
centage of oxygen that may rise to as
much as SIS, an amount much in excess
of the percentage in atmospheric air.
Professor Bohr tapped the air bladders
of Goldfish and drew off the gas by means
of trocar and alright syringe. The
gas had so per cent of oxygen. In few
hours the air bladder was reflled, ap-
parently by process of secretion of gas
from the blood in the capillaries on the
wall of the bladder. In one experiment
the gas thus secreted had 80 per cent of
oxygen. When the nerves connected
with the organ were severed, the secre-
tion ceased and the organ was not refill
ed
It thus appears that when a fish de-
sends to a great depth, and his body is
reduced in size by increased pressure of
the water about him, he is able to attain
his former size and rise by secreting the
gas he needs and not by absorbing it
from the water. Support is thus given
to the theory that the gaseous exchanges
that occur in the lungs of animals are
not purely physical. -Baltimore Sun.

SILVER MEN WIN.
Geo. w. Mcbride Elected Senator
from Oregon,
After a Long and Hard Fought
Contest.
DOLPH TURNED DOWN
Because He Was Opposed to Free
Coinage Of Silver.

SALEM, Ore, Feb 25.-The struggle
for the election of successor to J. N.
Do1ph in the United States senate,
which has been carried on in the leg
islature for thirty-three days, came
to a close at HAS Saturday night by
the election of George w. Mcbride,
ex-secretary of state.
The contest has been a bitter one
from beginning to end, and up to
thirty minutes before the hour set
for final adjournment, it looked as
though it would be a deadlock.
The contest has been a remarkable
one in many respects. One month
before the legislature met it was con-
sidered a certainty that Senator
Dolph would have no opposition for
reelection, but from that tune until
the legislature met the free silver
men began a campaign to defeat him.
They had no particular candidate,
but simply were opposed to Dolph on
account of his views on the money
question. On the second day of the
session the Repu blicans went into
caucus, when Dolph received the
unanimous nomination. The vote
in separate sessions was taken one
week from the time of the eau
Gus, but twenty-four members of
DnO uOuSO WuO ndO FOGCO 4OE
him in caucus refused to do so in sep
arate session. He received a ajority
in the senate, but lacked one in the
house, his total vote, however, in the
two houses footing up 49. majority
of two The next day in joint session
four more votes left him, which pre-
vented his election by one vote. He
continued to drop off from day to day
uut1 his support got down to SO.
The opposition stood firm. and it be-
came evident several days ago that
Dolph could not be elected, though
his supporters agreed to stand by him
to the last. Rather than to cause a
deadlock, however. they yielded at
the last moment and brought forward
Mcbride, upon whom all factions
could unite, and he was chosen on
the sixtieth ballot, receiving the full
Republican vote.
George Washington Mcbride is a
native son of Oregon, having beer
born in Yamhill, in 1854. In 1882 he
was elected to the Oregon house OF
representatives and was subsequently
chosen speaker of that body. In 1886
Mr.. Mcbride was nominated by the
! Republicans for secretary of STATE
and was elected. Mr.. Mcbride per
formed the duties so satisfactorily
that he was renominated by acclama
ton in 1890 and reelected by hand
some majority. He served out thu
full time and retired the first of the
present year to give way to his sue

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. IS. After

urer Woodruff, at Perryville, returned
a verdict of guilty and fixing the
punishment at one years imprison-

of the famous case, and has
cost the state nearly $50, 900. He
was tried in 1891 on the charge of en-
bezzlment, the jury failing to reach
a verdict. He was next tried in 1899
on the same charge and the trial
again resulted in hung jury, stand
ing ten to two for conviction. In 1898
he was tried on the charge of misap-
propriating state funds and acquitted.
The present specific charge was false

FIRE IN A COAL MINE.
Two Men Killed and Eighteen In
Jured.

Jured.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 25.--A fire
occurred in Rock slope of the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad company's
mines at Pratt City yesterday morn
ing that resulted in the death of John
Patton and Louis Stevens, two min
ers. and more or less serious injury of
eighteen others. Twenty miners, all
convicts, were in the Rock slope.
near the air shaft, when they detected
the smell of smoke, and shortly after
wards an immense volume of it came
pouring towards them from the en-
CINE room, which was between the
air shaft and the cage leading out of
the mine. The engine usually con-
tains no fire, but is used to pump com
pressed heat into the mines, hence
the origin of the fire, which started
in the engine room, is a mystery.
Driven by the smoke, the twenty
men hurried to the air shaft and
there huddled together to keep from
suffocating. Meanwhile the smoke
from the engine room seized seven
trans and just on the outside lot of
waste and oil burned furlously.
Breathing became an affair of ex-
IRENE difficulty. Twenty-thres mules
in the stable in the mines also felt
the smoke and tried to escape and
ran about kicking one another to
death and making night hideous
with their cries.
John Patton and Louis Stevens
finally left the crowd at the air sha #
and tried to get to the cage shaft
They never reached it, but were
afterwards found dead near the en-
CINE room. One of the men had his
head beaten almost into pulp. indi-
eating that he had tried to kill him
self rather than suffocate. Smoke
seen issuing from the shaft brought
help via the cage, and in three hours
the fire was out and the eighteen
men at the air shaft were brought up
in more or less serious condition
from suffocation The mules, worth
$4,000, were suffocated or killed by
one another's kicks.
