Port Norfolk and The Electric Cara.
Last Sunday beng the first Sunday
| for the electric cars to Port Norfolk. at
| least SOC people went down. The cars
| had two trsilors attached, but found con.
siderable difficulty in keeping them on
the track. On returning they jumped
the track and several times there came
near being serious accidents. Ono time
tho trailer was thrown off and came
near turning over. a small child had his
lip aud nose cut by falling against n
rail aud q young nun his hand mushed.
| Whom 1t came time to return the
cars were unable to bring back the
crowd half fast enough. Tho first
days experience with the road was
not very pleasant one. However,
like all new things, there is bound to
DO come mifhaps. The management
nevcr dreamed OF carrying such
crowds. BY next Sunday probably
the other two cars will DO hero and
then these difficulties will be over
come. The management is anxious to
plense the people, and have only that
object in view. SO Sundays affair

Some Peculiarities of Icebergs.

Derelicts and icebergs are among the dangers to which vessels are constantly exposed, the latter being perhaps the more formidable of the two, because there are more of them at certain sea- sons, and there is no telling when one of these monsters may heave in sight. An ordinary iceberg shows one-ninth of its bulk above water. During the pres ent season a number of these masses of ice-at least 100 feet high-have been encountered by steamships It is scarcely possible to imagine an iceberg with 900 feet of its bulk below water. One cap tain reports having seen an enormous field of ice at least 300 feet high and 2,0O0 feet long. It had Evidently but just turned over, as the upper portion was full of sharp angles and points, and the water was trickling down its side. One of tho greatest dangers from ice bergs is being ill their vicinity when they turn over The sea currents wash and melt them into all sorts of fantastic figures and points. They melt below so much more rapidly than above that the center of gravity becomes disturbed, and they turn with tremendous force. Some times the disturbance is almost equal to a tidal wave and is sufficient to upset any small craft that may be ill its way. New York Ledger.

expected and irregular times, but even to set spies upon the prisoners most secret hours. We dared not therefore leave tho slightest trace of our work anywhere. But guards have ears as well as eyes, and to avoid all danger from this source we in- vented a language of our own, calling our saw 'fawn;' hook, 'Tubal Cain;' the hole in the floor, 'Polyphemus, while our pock etknives went by the name of puppies
 "And now for our great ladder by which to reach the top of the chimney, 1s0 feet above us at the least calculation. Every thing we possessed in the way of wearing apparel we ripped and tore to pieces, hid ing each hank in 'Polyphemus. One night we spent in binding them together, but we had this satisfaction that our rope was not only as long as we could possibly need, but as stout too.''
 Ropes for the ladder and the guy and an choring ropes measured 1, 400 feet. The prisoners spent IS months in the prepara- tions to mount the tower and drop into the ditch. All being ready they chose q dark night in February, when the river was flooded and the ditch filled with water. Standing to the armpits in the chilling tide, they labored nine hours tunneling a passage underneath the outer wall. At o'clock in the morning they emerged from the tunnel just as the prison bell struck the hour and stood on the main road, free men. After many wanderings and adven- lures they reached Brussels separately, where Allegro was immediately arrested. Latude avoided detection for a time, but

Lately one of the instructors informed his class, chiefly composed of women, that a daily theme would be required to give facility in compost tion This seemed to surprise one of the young ladies, who went to the instructor after the session was over, ill the pres ence of others, and said archly and coqucttishly, And what will you do to us if we do not prepare any theme?"

Iudnstrial Ises of Wool.

So numerous arc the industrial uses of wood, indcpcndcnt of those of a structural character, that Il long chapter would scarce ly suffice for the description, though of practical interest. Among the items in this line Thc Carpenter and Builder, Eng fish, notes that shellbark hickory is excel lent material for caskets, whip handles, and tho back bows of the well known Windsor chairs. The sugar maple is fla vorcd by whcclwrights for axlctrees and ax handles, as is tine pignut hickory. Dog wood is serviccable for the handles of light tools, such as mallets, small vises, etc., in some cases also for harrow teeth and the lining for siedgc runners. Mountain lau- rel is also selected for the handles of light tools, small screws, boxes, etc. Bowls and trays arc made of red birch, and when sap lings of hickory or white oak are not to be found, hoops, particularly those of rico casks, are made of the young stocks and branches not exceeding one inch in diam eter. Its twics are exclusively chosen for the brooms with which the streets are swept, hut the twiga of the other species of both, being less supple and more brittle, are unadaptcd for such use Shoe lasts, though made from birch, arc not so satis- factory as when made of beech.

Indiana senator of that name Its erec- tion is due to a resolution passed by the senate providing that busts of all the vice presidents who have presided over that body be placed in the chamber overlooking the scene of their former parliamentary labors. Johnson was vice president during Martin Van Buren's administration, taking the oath of office in 1887.
 Richard M. Johnson's especial title to the grateful remembrance of his countrymen lies in the fact that to his bravery was due the death of the fa- nous Indian leader, Tecumseh, and to his heroic services in the war of 1872. He was a native of Kentucky, and ill his veins flowed the fighting blood charac- teristic of the blue grass country. He was born in 17S1, while Washington was still alive and when the nation was yet ill it infancy, Early in 1900 he was chosen as a representative in congress from Kentucky.
 In 1872, when the English and the Indians had combined to attack the new republic, Johnson was commissioned by Secretary of War Levi Woodbury to raise regiment of thousand Kentuck- ians As their colonel he marched them to attack the enemy, joining his force with that of General William Henry Harrison, who was then governor of h. diana and leader of the American troops.
 It was in the famous battle of the Thames, on Oct. ,, 1913, that Colonel Johnson showed conspicuously his bray cry. The American troops were con- fronted by the allied forces of the Eng fish and Indians. The conflict was short, but desperate, the Americans being victorious At its close Tecumseh was found dead on tho field, and undoubt- edly Johnson was the one who shot him. The desperate chief no doubt sought out Johnson as focman worthy of his steel, and in the hand to hand struggle which ensucd, Tecumsch lost his life and Johnson was badly wounded. When returned to congress soon after, Johnson was too weak from his wounds to walk, and his way to tho capitol was triumphal procession. His hero ism was recognized i'll a faint resolution of thanks passed by congress. He was later elected United States senator and subsequently, chosen vico president.
