gets by Mr. Thurber and invades the
room occupied by the subordinate clerks
in the White House. On one OF these
occasions recently he went and stood
locking down at the work which one OF
the clerks was doing. The man at work
never looked up. He thought it was one
of the other clerks who occasionally
bothered him. what the devil do you
want?" he asked.
There was no response. The other
clerks gasped for breath. A deathlike
stiffness prevailed, and the working
clerk looked up to meet smile on the
countenance Of the president. In time
an explanation followed, but it will be
a long time before that White House
clerk will ask a like question until he is
dead sure Of the man he is talking to.

They Are Bound With Wire and Said to
Be Effective.
1t was discovered some time ago that
efficient heavy guns could be made out
of a composition composed largely OF
leather. Now it has been discovered
that a good paper can be used for the
same purpose.
The body of the gun is made of pa
per pulp The core is of metal and
made very much like the cores of ordi-
nary cannon. The exterior of the can
non is wound with wire. About five
layers of copper, brass or steel wire are
firmly wound on, thus binding the can
non. Outside of the covering Of wire
are various bands of brass. These
bands are set with uprights, through
which rods extend parallel with the
gun. There are lock nuts on each side
of the uprights, and these hold the rods
in place. Trade Paper Journal.

an aged man who lived in the noun

believed him insane and that his house
was haunted
A visit to the PERMITS cabin was paid

floors of the two lower rooms of the

made from the skins of animals and
preserved by the hermit. The rugs con-
sisted of the skins of coons, cats, snakes.
frogs, minks, ETC. The skins were per-
fectly preserved and were as natural as
if lust taken from the animals.
Up stairs were three bodies which
the hermit said he had obtained years
ago. They looked as if death had come
but yesterday. The hermit also had
bodies of different animals, all looking
as natural as life.

BEATS THE FERRIS WHEEL.
A Huge Steel and Iron Fabric Now BeinE
Erected In London.

Some one gigantic feature seems to
be a necessity of every modern exposi-
ton.
Thus the Eiffel tower was the sensa-
tional structure at Paris in 1889 and the
Ferris wheel at the Worlds fair, while
the French engineers propose for the
Paris exhibition now in preparation a
deep hole to be dug and which it is pro-
posed to extend until an unbearable
heat is met with in the bowels of the
earth.
The wheel which they are erecting
in London will, however, be much
larger than the Ferris wheel, and it is
now very near completion. The top of
the Chicago wheel was 25S feet above
the earth. The London wheel will at
tain to height of 800 feet, and from
it's top the passengers in the small car
riages which are to be carried around
it's periphery will secure magnificent
view CT London and its environs.
Recreation towers are being erected
on the supports of the wheel. A ball,
room will crown each tower at the axis,
and there will be three restaurants
built one above the other, where the
English visitors, SO fond of eating and
drinking, may enjoy themselves and
watch the immense wheel go round.
Access to these restaurants will be
gained by two "funicular" railways.
These will be really hydraulic elevators,
and they will slide up and down the
two legs OF the wheel. New York
