NEEDED DIETING,


OHiccr'S Unnecessary Sympathy.
South Chicago policeman came across
attenuated sorrel horse tied to a hitch
ing-post the other day, says the Chicago
Tribune. He waited a few minutes until
the owner arrived, and then he said
why don't you feed your horse some
thing? I'd wager that he hasn't seen an
oat since he a colt Do you feed him
on the photograph Of a bale of hay?"
"Mr. Officer, you don't know that horse
or you wouldn't talk that way"
Il don't know the horse but I know
a starvsd beast like that; it's case for
the S. p. C. A. Do you weight out his
food to him on an apothecary's scales?''
"Oficer, before you say any more do
me favor; get in that buggy and drive
around a block and when you come
back here tell me what to fed him; I'll
do whatever you say
The policeman got into the buggy and
started off. He thought he was in a mer-
ry-go-round driven by cyclone power; he
braced his feet against the dashboard and
hung on to the reins until his wrists
cracked, and there was shower of
heels all over the road; the buggy slowed
around corners on one wheel, and when
the horse finally landed up against the
hitching-post with it's front legs over the
shafts the officer was so dazed that he
couldn't speak for minute.
"Well" queried the owner, what do
you think I'd better feed the horse?"
IF / owned him. answered the police
man, sternly, I'D feed him on some good
reliable anaeSthetiC."

ELEVATION OF WIN. PENN.
His Massive Statue to BE Raised Owe
500 Feet in the Air

0OO Feet in the Air.
dozen workmen are busily engaged on
the topmost bars of the iron frame of the
City Hall tower, which is to act as a final
resting place for the big statue of William
Penn, say the Philadelphia Times. So high
are they that the sound of their big ham
mers does not reach the street and the
huge Orders upon which they work appear
too frail to stand against the elements
The tower is being built by the Tacony
Iron and Metal Company, assisted by
Frank Wildemore and Engineer Frank
Cannon. The total height of the permanent
iron work standing upon the 500 feet of
stone is at present 173, but scaffolding IS
feet high has been placed above this in
order to raise the statue of Penn.
The total height when completed, incud-
ing the statue, will be 542 feet. Unless the
progress of the work is greatly interfered
with by high winds, it is expected that the
statue of William Penn will be placed in
position on the 18th of next month.
1t will be taken up in 10 massive sec
tons, the heaviest of which weighs about
5000 pounds, and will then be hoisted by
means of the iron scaffolding above the
tower. Four smaller statues, weighing
about Is tons each, one of which is al
ready in position, will be placed at the
four corners of the tower as companions
for the big fellow who will stand above
them.
Four five-ton eagles will stand between
them as if about to fly toward the four
points of the compass. When William
Penn is finally placed upon his pedestal he
will look vacantly at that portion of the
city where the boulevard ought to be-
The visitor to the tower will have the
same advantage over him as did the city
officials yesterday, looking through the I'M
finished iron work with the great expanse
Of city and country lying before them.
From this great height the buildings
which from the street one is apt to regard
with great respect, become almost insg-
nificant, the broad thoroughfares look no
wider than alleys, and pedestrians and
vehicles are, literally speaking almost out

Persons Away From the Instrument
Hear the Conversation.
Il am not sure whether l am throwing
away a fortune in revealing an incident
which occurred on the day of the great biz
Yard, last Thursday" said Correspondent
Charles N. Hamilton, in the house press
gallery yesterday, says the Washington
Post, for it may be that the incident re-
veals new principle in acoustics intima te-
ly connected with the broader utility of the
telephone. But whether | win or lose I'll
tell it for the good it may be to humanity
generally.
ION the day mentioned myself and some
friends walked into the office of Mr.. Scudd,
the district passenger agent Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company. While we were
engaged in conversation some one rung up
the telephone, and Mr.. Scudd proceeded to
take the message. 1t is one of those desk
telephones, adjustable to the ear without
involving the necessity of arising from the
chair at the desk. At an angle on the OPP
posite side of the desk, fronting the receiv-
er, stood one of the japanned tin cases of
a Remington typewriter. 1t had been
placed there by accident and Mr.. Scudd
applied his ear to the receiver, but imme
diately removed it though he had re-
ceived an electric shock. At the same time
we heard the voice of the person at the
other end of the telephone in accents as
distinct as those in which | am now speak
ing. We heard him inquire about a train as
though he had been present in the office.
Every body in the room heard it, and was
perfectly dumfOunded The phenomenon
was so remarkable that Mr.. Scudd purpose
~ continued the conversation for several
minutes. S
Every one present tried to account for
it, and it was finally resolved that it was
due either to the atmospheric influence on
the wires or else to the metal typewriter
case acting as a sounding board The ex-
pertinent was made of removing the latter
from it's position on the desk, and produc-
ing the same result; but as soon as the case
was shifted in the slightest degree the eff

made to replace it exactly as it was before,
