LARGEST MAP IN THE WORLD.
Philadelphia To Have Unique Geo.
graphical Display.


From the Philadelphia Times.
A map which Is claimed to be the
largest and handsomest ever made will
be placed in the waiting room Of the
Broad street station in the course of
few days, and it will be Of inestimable
value to travellers. 1t will show the en-
tire Pennsylvania railroad system,
with all Of its branches and connecting
lines from Boston to San Francisco,
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast. The map is 1.15 feet long by Is
in width and will be handsomely
framed. Not only from geographical
standpoint will it be Of value, but also
from an artistic point of view, as 1t
was done in oils on canvas by L. w.
Seavey, Of New York, the well-known
scenic artist.
For over four months Artist Seavey
| and his assistants have been at work
on the map, and yesterday he paid a
visit to the officials Of the railroad and
| announced that it was completed.
| Early next week special train will be
sent to New York to bring 1t to Phila-
delphia, and upon its arrival here it
will be Immediately put up in the wait
ing room in full view Of all the patrons
of the road.
The map was painted on rolls Of can
vas and afterward put together in one
big roll 1t Is complete in every detail
and every city and town touched by the
great system is plainly shown. The
terminals Of the road are painted in
large letters, while the other points are
regulated in size according to their
population. The main lines of the
Pennsylvania railroad are shown by
deep red lines. The branches are done
In a lighter red, while the connecting
lines are shown in black
The work was done under the super
vision Of Theodore N. Ely, chief Of mo-
tive power, and 1t will be valuable
addition to the handsome terminal.

Years ago DR.. R. v. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel

stages of the disease.
The tissues of the lungs being irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood circulat-
ing through them, the germs find lodgment
there, and the lungs begin to break down.
Soon the general health begins to fail, and
the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy

HE WAS TOO SMART.
The Experience Of Countryman With
London Confidence Mon.

London has It's confidence men, who
are quite as expert as America s, says
writer i'll the Boston Herald Their
methods are very similar. 1t is not
worth while to record their routine oner-
atlons, but one recent instance, as illus
trative of their resources, is amusing
and instructive An old Scotch travel
ing man, who bore somewhat the ap-
pearance of a countryman, but who
knew the ropes perfectly, was accosted.
He decided to have some fun at the ex-
pense of the would be swindlers, so he
pretended to fall readily in with their
statements-to be a particularly easy
victim. They bought him splendid
dinner, calling him Mr. Kenny of Dun
dee-a name which they had caught
from a travelling bag which he had Dor
rowed from friend. He enjoyed their
hospitality hugely, and ate prodigiously
and expensively, They paid the bill, and
began the usual talk about q. lottery
prize, etc. Then he saw it was about
time to cap their game. " Said he:
Gentlemen, thank you for the din
ner. 1t was very good, and have had
very pleasant time with you. But !
won't go to see you draw your lottery
prize. Oh, no! l know all about the lot
terry prize My name is not Donald
Kenny. 1t is Robert Ferguson, and I'm
not from Dundee, but from Lochnovep,
where I've lived with my daughter for
20 years. l am too old fish to DO
caught. Good night"
And he went his way rejoicing.
Two weeks later, when he went home
to his daughter i'll Lochnoven, one of the
first things she said to him was:
Odd you get the 920 all right?"
"What e20?"
"Why, the ego you telcsraphed for "
And it developed that the confidence
men whom he had beaten at their own
game had an ace up their sleeves, which
they played after he had left them.

"Christ Hath Risen"

All at once is heard in the distance
the clear boom of the cannon announce
ing the hour of midnight. The Russian
priest, standing on the steps of the al
tar, swings his censor and announces in
tones which penetrate to the farthest
corners of the edifice, "Christos voslres"
Christ hath risen), and the people an
swer him with one voice, "Vo istine
vOskres' In truth he hath risen) The
woman standing nearest the priest lights
her taper at the consecrated one present
ed to her by him, her neighbor i'll turn
receives the light from her. and so on,
till i'll minute, as it We're, the chapel
was illuminated with Il hundred lights.
Fathers and mothers, sons and daugh-
tiers, friends and relations embraced
one another, kissing three times on the
forehead and either cheek and exchang-
ing the Easter greeting. The whole con-
gregation, then passing before the priest,
did the same with him, and high mass
now followed Chambers Journal.

HE KEPT THE CHECK.
Turfman Green Morris Was Too Cunning
For the Banks.


For the Banks.
With so many bank robberies all
around us it is not surprising that there
should be some uncasincss among deposit
tors. In general, however, the New
Yorker has clear head. He has faith in
the Clearing House association, because
he really does not quite understand tho
mystery Of it, and he believes in his
bank through thick and thin because he
has seen the banks of the city stand to-
gether i'll support of weakened institu-
ton. | am reminded of what happened
to Green Morris, the turfman, who lived
i'll Brooklyn and raced horses on all the
tracks of the metropolitan circuit. He
had a big year of winnings at Monmouth
park, and received at the end of the sea-
son check from the association for
SGT 200. Eighteen months later he
showed that check to me, considerably
worn.
"Why, Green" said reproachfully,
"this check is 19 months old What do
you mean by keeping it so long? 1t is
nearly worn out. Don't you know that
d" |iiooh sh'uAu po uepoolteu dt ouce Ut
cashed? Suppose the bank was to fail?"
Green chuckled knowingly and wink
ed as he folded it up and put it back in
his pocketbook,
II amt been racin bosses for nothin
these goin on nigh 20 year. amt got
no faith in no banks. They's too much
failin to suit me. That IS whit I've allus
been afraid of, an that's why I'm holdin
on to my check. I amt a-goin to have
no bank failin with my money in the
safe Besides l amt had no use for the
$67 900, an it's jes' as easy to keep it in
my pocket this way"
This same Green is worth now $780,
900 Or 100000, and yet cannot write
his name New York Press.

Regret That Came Too Late.

The London Musical Herald tells q
queer story about Jack Wilson's tomb
in the Little Cloisters at Westminster
abbey. Wilson was Shakespeare tenor
He was probably the first to sing Sigh
No More, Ladies'" and he died at the
age of rs, in 1878. The inscription ON
his tomb at the abbey was much oblit-
Grated, and under the direction of an
antiquary a man was employed to recut
the letters. The antiquary stood looking
over him, SO that he should make no
mistake, and to make the time go pleas
antly he expatiated at great length to
the workman upon the grandeur and
merits of the deceased. Tho man even
tually stopped his work, and looking up
at the mtiquary said, Il wish, sir, we
had known that he was such a swell be-
fore we run that there drain pipe
through him."

Incandesccnt Iamp Cleaner.

Many people blame the central sta
ton for the poor light from their mean
descent lamps, when the fault is really
their own. They allow their lamps to be
dirty 1t has been shown that one day s
accumulation of dust on incandescent
bulbs cuts off 8 per cent of the light, so
the result of few days neglect can
easily be guessed. AS means of remov-
ing to Il great extent the frequent COM
plants of poorness of light central
station recommends the use of lamp
cleaner which greatly facilitates the
process of busting the bulbs. To 3 foot
handle is attached a strong wire frame
work, which carries number of felt
mittens. By forcing the frame over each
lamp and giving the handle few turns
the dust on the glass is removed, leav-
ing the bulb as clean as when it left the
factory. Each cleaner is provided with
a set of rubber friction pads that will,
when suitably placed on the mittens,
remove and replace burned out lamps
The handle can be extended SO as to
reach lamps at any distance This de-
vice makes the cleaning of lamps very
quick and easy task.-St Louis Globe

A MODERN NAVAL BATTLE.
The Spectacle Is Grand One and the Ex-
pericnce ThrilIinc

A lay1nan has no conception of the
awful nature of battle III r0dcrn nava!
vessels. Even the cruisers have steel
sides, and the air Of Tie closcd spaces
is very confined. Tho dn made by the
impact of q heavy p1ojcctiie against
these metal sides is aWiul beyond de-
scrlptlCn. | Wore cotton i'll my ears, but
in spite of that, am sill deaf from that
cause The engineers III the Chen Yuen
stuck to their work cscu when the tenn
peraturc of the engine room was above
200 degrees L. The skin of their hands
and arms was actually roasted off, and
every man was blinded for life, the sight
being actually scared ont.

been burned off and ny eyes so impaired
by injected blood that [ could only see

DESTROYS of seeing how the enemy was
delivering his fire. AS ;,ropcd my way
around the protected deck hundred
pound shell pierced the armor about 8
inches i'll front of my hand In a second
my hand touching the steel was so
burned that part Of the skin was left
upon the armor. That shows how in
tense is the heat engendcrcd by the i'm
pact of shot and how rapidly the steel
conducts that heat
One shell struck an open gun shield
of the Chen Yucn early in the action,
and glancing thence passed through the
open port Seven gunncrs were killed
and 10 wounded by that shot. Early in
the fight the maxim gun in our forctop
was silenced. The holes pierced by a
shell could be seen from the deck. Aft
er the fight we found the officer and men
on duty there all dead and frightfully
manglcd. That one shell had wrought
the havoc.
The detonations of tho heavy cannon
and the impact of hostile projectiles
produce conclusions that actually rend
the clothing off. The Chinese soldiers
deserve all credit for their courage and
obedience i'll that action. No duty was
too difficult or dangerous When the
Chen Yuen's forecastle was ablaze from
Jap shells, | ordered several officers to
cross the shell swept place to fight the
fire. They shirked that duty, but when
l called upon the men to volunteer to
follow me they did it promptly, and the
ship was saved. 1t was while ON this
duty that shell passing between my
legs throw me aloft and let ne down
upon the deck with such violence that 1
became unconscious and was out of the
fight. All OF the officers, however, We're
