In regard to the Turks themselves,
may venture to observe that the gen.
ius Of their manners and conversation
is that of yielding Everything at first?
They begin by sayings Good yes. But
when you come to the matter in ques-
tion and to its details you will find all
those fine expressions mean nothing.
Like all people in a weak position, they
respect you according to their opinion
Of your force. If. however, you wish
that force to have permanent influ-
enoe and to be unaccompanied by dis.
like, you must blend its exercise with
justice; and, if you wish to arrive at a
quick result through all that ambuscade
Of intrigues and doubts and fears and
prejudices which will be sure to be se-
cretly formed against it, you must tell
the Turk what he is to do, why he is to
do it, when he is to do 1t and show him
that you only ask quietly and reasona.
bly, what you have right to demand.
In this way, and this way alone, you will
do business with him. If he sees you
act thus, he will not only agree with
you, but rely upon you.-Lord Palmer

The Waves Of an Iron Bridge.

A train always exerts greater strain
on an iron bridge when going quickly
than when going slowly, but the differ
ence in the strain depends ON the struo-
ture of the bridge and is much more in
some cases than in others When the
train goes over the bridge, it causes a
wave to travel along the structure, ow-
ing to the elasticity Of the iron.
That part Of the bridge just in front
Of the train Is raised little, and the
part under the train is lowered, 30 that
each part Of the bridge is successfully
raised and lowered as the train goes
over 1t, and the more quickly the train
travels the more sudden this will be,
and consequently the more violent.
The strain produced will vary with
the square Of the velocity Of the wave.
so that the train will exert four times
the strain when it doubles its velocity,
and nine times when it triples its ve-
locity. Liverpool Mercury.

A ChiId's Costly Caprice.

A bridge which the sultan ordered to
be constructed in Constantinople was to
have been finished by a particular day,
but the contractor found that this would
be impossible with Turkish workmen
unless he worked day and night This
he obtained leave to do, and the neces-
sary lights and torches were supplied at
the sultan's expense.
All went we'll for time till the un-
fortunate contractor was told that he
must open the bridge to let ship from
the dockyard pass through some time
before the building was finished
He said it was impossible, as he
would have to pull everything down.
and it would take two or three months
to replace the scaffolding and pile driv-
ing machines. But the ministers Of ma
rine and finance said, "If the sultan
says it must be done, it must. or we
shall lose our places, if not our heads. !"
So the ship came out, at cost of a
little over e100. 600 and delay Of three
months in the completion of the bridge,
all because the sultan found his small
son crying in the harem one day, the
child's grief being that, though he had
been promised to be made an admiral,
he could not see his flag hoisted on his
particular ship from the nursery win

witnesses who Sec Through Glass.

1T ia curious" says Maine lawyer,
"how prevalent the notion is that per-
son cannot testify as q witness in court
to anything seen through glass. What
would you do with all the folks that
wear spectacles and see everything
through glass?' asked a Maine judge
not long ago, referring to this notion.
II tho glass through which an action or
event was seen was wavy, SO as to dis
tort the appearance of objects, that fact
might nowadays raise doubt rs to the
reliability of the evidence, but could not
exclude it. The prevailing notion doubt
less had its rise in very ancient days,
when all the glass in use for windows
was very much warped and blurred.
Such glass may be seen--a single pane
Of it-in the Office of the little hotel in
Cambridge village, framed and kept as
relic. Where such material was in
use it is little wonder that witness
was prevented from testifying as to
what he saw through it. twas in COM

such rule where modern glass is in

Lavinia Fenton as Polly.

Lavinia Fenton, who had undertaken
the character Of Polly in the "Beggars'
Opera" for the remuneration Of 10 shil-
lings per week, suddenly found herself
the most celebrated person in London.
Her portraits were sold everywhere, her
opera costumes copied by fashionable
ladies' When she went nightly to and
from the theater, bodyguard Of sirong
friends had to be formed to escort her,
lest the fair damsel should be carried
off by one Of her many importunate ad-
mirers. Lavinia' s musical success ended
with the run of the opera-after which
she retired from the stage-but not SO
the good fortune it had won for her.
The Duke of Bolton was so fascinated
by her charms as the saucy Polly that
he made her his duchess after the death
of his wife, from whom he had long
been separated, whereby Lavinia be-
came the first of the actresses connected
by marriage with English nobility. -

NUMBER II.


The finest river Of British Guiana Is
the Essequibo, into which flow the mag
nificent waters OF the Cuyuni and the
Mazaruni, forming a confluence at Bar
tica point over four miles broad, the
stream then widening out through its
subsequent course of 60 miles into an
estuary 90 miles from bank to bank.
The Essequibo rises in the Acaroi noun
tains, 40 miles north Of the equator, and
tears sinuous way through and down
the terraced surface for distance Of
steamers much beyond Bartica point,
and the farther it is explored the high

One of its tributaries, the Potaro,
which joins it about 100 miles from the
coast, has waterfall SURPRISING Mag
ara in height. This is the Kaieteur fall
(the Old Mans fall, to translate the In
dian name), which was discovered by
Mr. Brown, who made geological sur
vey for the government quarter OF q
century ago. At this point the Potaro
falls over q sandstone tableland precipi-
tously for TAI feet, and then over n
sloping cataract Of 81 feet into great
rocky basin. In food time the width Of
the fall is about $40 feet and in the dry
season 24O feet or less "If," says Mr..

His Nerve Saved His Life.

Len Henry, a we'll known pioneer,
relates an adventure that Ia out OF the
usual order. He was travelling on mar
row trail above the raging Grande Bonde
river when he came to landslide about
30 feet across that left no trail or even
niche in the smooth, precipitous rock.
The trail was SO narrow that the horse
could not turn back. He was trapped

his saddle bow was a strong RATA GO
feet long, and Henry is an expert in the
use Of IL. He steadied himself upon the
saddle, swung the rope over his head
and hurled it high into the air. II set
tied firmly over the crag. He tried II
carefully. It was firm. His saddle was
new and strong one, with double
cinches. Around the horn he wound the
rope. He urged the horse on to the edge
Of the precipice.
The faithful beast stood firm. He
would not step over, but the rider drew
up the slack and pulled with all his
power. Inch by inch he drew the strain
ing horse forward till his feet slipped,
and he swung over the chasm. The
rider held his breath az he looked at the
river below and the slender rope above,
but he was across the gap. He sprang
up the trail and tugged at the reins to
aid the horse in gaining his feet. He
pulled, and the horse lunged up into the
trail with the chasm behind. -Anacon-
