The Greatest of Rivers.

The Amazon is the king Of streams.
From first to last it receives over /, 200
tributaries, of which more than 100 are
large sized rivers and rise SO far apart
and have their floods and GIBBS at such
different seasons that the Amazon is at
about the same height the year around.
At some points Gil its lower course one
bank is invisible from the other. The
beholder seems to be looking ON a great
yellow sea of fresh water. When discov-
cred, some tribes of Indians on the low
er portion knew nothing of the existence
of the opposite shore and did not believe
that it existed, saying that 'the great
river flowed all around the world" Its
mouth, including that of the Para, is
$50 miles i'll width, and it is navigable
for large sized ocean steamers for /, 900
miles from the sea, and so vast is the
flood that the ocean is tinged yellow for
400 miles from the coast of Brazil st.

What Helmholtz Did,

To appreciate his many sidedness we
have but to follow the development of
his life. While his first work was main
ly mathematical, his second was in
quite different field. 1t consisted in
the measurement of the velocity of prop
agation of sensation by the nerves. To
accomplish this he must needs have
been an anatomist too
His labors i'll the line of psychological
optics show that he was also a master
of psychology.
But perhaps it is by his achievements
in the remains of music that he is best
known and most celebrated. In his book,
1.-The Sensations of Tone, " he solved
completely the riddle of nature which
had puzzled the world since the time of
Pythagoras. Thus to give rational nu-
mCrical explanation of the intricacies of
harmony and their effect on the ear,
there was need not only of mathema-
tician, AN anatomist, a physicist and a
psychologist, but also of musician, all
united i'll one nan. Helmholtz was all
this and even more.-Scribner'

The Shah's Treasures.

Of all the sovereiGns of the world the
shah of Persia is said to possess the
largest treasure in jewels and gold or
naments, it being valued at $50, 1000, :
900. The chief object of value is the old
crown of Persian rulers, i'll the form of
a pot of flowers, which is surmounted by
AN uncut ruby the size of hens egg.
The diamonds i'll another symbol of his
rank are said to weigh almost 20 pounds.
There is also Il jeweled saber, valued at

prizes is a silver vase ornamented with
100 emeralds, whose equals, it is said,
nre not to be found in the world. In the
collection there is cube of amber which
tradition says fell from heaven in the
days of Mohammed and insures the pos

IN THE SMOKING CAR,

amusement through the car-smiles,
grins, sotto vOce remarks and curious
glances in her direction-but she seemed
so serenely self possessed that she was
soon forgotten for the morning papers.
When the conductor came through, he
was almost overcome.

settled back in the seat with an air of

hard for moment, sighed and passed on.

CALLING THE STATIONS.
Little Mistakes That Sometimes Occur In
Their Frequent Repetition.

Their Frequent Repetition.
occasionally" said man, Zone
hears a guard on the elevated road call
the next station back instead of the one
ahead. Coming down on the Sixth ave-
nue. road, for instance, he might, on
leaving Grand street, look in and say,
THE next station is Blocker street.
when he meant Franklin. Still, this is
rarely done, not nearly SO often as one
might think it would be, by men call
ing the stations over and over again all
day long To be sure it might seem that
the names would be by frequent repeti-
ton so deeply craven on their memory
that there would be the less danger of
calling them wrong, but what l sup
pose happens is this-that sometimes
the mind unconsciously switches over,
and the guard calls from the up list in
stead of the down, or vice versa.
Sometimes when guard miscalls a
station he let's it go-perhaps he doesn't
think of it himself. Sometimes he cor
reefs in mild tone of voice, as though
the least said about it the better. Some
times he sets it straight clearly and I'M
mistakably. 1 rode up town the other
day on a Sixth avenue Harlem train
with guard who, as the train left For
ty-second street, looked in and said,
'Fiftieth next, Fifty eighth street train,
change there for Harlem But the next
minute he looked in again and said,
with equal if not greater distinction and
deliberation, 'Fiftieth next, Harlem
train, change there for Fifty eighth
street.
"Here was a case that was a little
different: A newsman who got off
Sixth avenue train with bundle of pa
pers at Fifty-third street handed pa
per to the guard and asked him to give
it to the ticket chopper at One Hundred
and Thirty-ffth street. The guard look
ed into the car as the train started and
said, Hundred and Thirty-ffth street
next, but this was SO far off that it
really needed no correction, and very
reasonably the guard let it 90 at that,
but he smiled as he closed the door. -

Hardly had the employees of the A.
Smith & Sons Carpet Company, of Ion-

the restoration of the 10 per cent. reduc-
ton. which was made in their wages
previous to election, than they are con-

This is a severe blow to the working

that by the restoration of that reduction

by the election of Mckinley and Hobart.
The announcement was made in what is

800 hands, who are paid on an average

tapestry mills, but 1t was learned on
good authority that all the Smith fac
tories in Yonkers will cease operations
within two weeks. thus leaving no less
than 1000 people without any source OF
revenue. Harold Brown. treasurer Of the
company, refuses to be interviewed on the
matter, but it is generally known that
the company has kept it's looms at work
with practically no market for its goods.
