MAGNANIMOUS WILLIAM.



Louis MI. was of the opinion that IL
was unworthy of the king of France to
revenge himself for the insults he
suffered as prince royal. Emperor VIII
liam of Germany is of like opinion, says
the New York Times
Baron de Krosilk, who has just been
appointed a grand cross of the Red
Eagle order, was formerly colonel of the
hussar regiment in which the emperor
as youth first did military service. One
night at mess. toward the close of
banquet at which the young prince,
then mere captain, had invited his
friend, Archduke Randolph, the conver-
sation turned to the projected reforms
in the cavalry.
William declared himself partisan
of these reforms and defended his opin-
ion with 50 much impetuosity that Col.
Won Krosil. very much excited. sudden
ly interrupted him. 1T is an absurdi-
ty," said he in loud voice and con
temptuous tone as he ridiculed the idea
put forth by the prince.
1T is WELL" replied the prince. ''To-
day you are my superior officer. and
must bow before you, but our positions
may change"
When his former subordinate as
ccnded the throne Baron Won Krosik
fully expected to see his name put on
the retired list. But the Emperor ap-
pointed him general, gave him the i'm
portant dictatorship of the School of
Cavalry, of Hanover. and has ever
treated him with the greatest respect

HERE'S A COOL HOUSE.
A German Inventor Conceives Scheme
to Keep You Comfortable in Summer

A German Inventor COnceives scheme
to Keep You Comfortable in summer
The house of the water tubes is the
remarkable building freak of a German
inventor. who claims that he has solved
the problem of 4 constant temperature
that may be regulated at Will, and incl
dentalIy secured a structure that COM
bines the elements of strength. comfort
and beauty
He first put up a skeleton of his
house. the frame for walls and floors
being of water tubing, connected with
a pumping and boiler system in the
basement. Around this skeleton. says
the New York Journal, he put up his
house in the ordinary way The tubes
were within the walls and between the
floors and ceilings In the summer
time this tubing Is connected with the
regular water supply, and a steady.
stream flows through the pipes in the
walls and under the floors, circulating
under pressure. absorbing the heat of
the walls and floors as IL flows Dur
ing the long and severe winter the tub
ing is connected with the boiler. and
water heated TO 100 degrees forced
through the circuit of pipes The Wa
ter at the outlet Is found to have de
creased to 20 degrees. the remaining 60
degrees having been distributed
throughout the house The speed of
the circulation of water can be regu-
lated so as to allow the fixing and main
tenance of 4 certain temperature
throughout the building.

Daily Journey of the sun Puzzled the
Ancients-Many Erroneous Theories.
Strange as IL may seem in this day
and age, the rising and setting of the
sun was the greatest of natural phe-
nomena to the ancient scholars They
were greatly puzzled to know how the
same sun which plunged into the ocean
at fabulous distance in the west could
re3ppear the next morning n an equal
~ great distance in the east And, as
Sir Robert Ball points out, a number of
remarkable theories were advanced,
and every one of them wrong. The
old mythology asserted that after the
sun had dipped in the western ocean
n sunset 1.-THE Iberians and other an
cient nations actually imagined that
they could hear the kissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged therein) he was seized by Vul-
can and placed in golden goblet. This
strange craft with its astonishing car
go naVigated the ocean by nOrtherly
course. 50 as to reach the east again
in time for sunrise the following morn
ing. Among the more sober physicists
of old, as we are told by Aristotle. IL
was believed that in some manner the
sun was conveyed by night across the
northern regions. and that darkness
was due TO lofty mountains, which
screened off the sunbeams during the
voyage Another theory was that the
sun actually pursued his course below
the solid earth during the darkness of
night, and philosophers taught the
same about the stars that rose and set.
These are but samples of many theory
that might be named with regard 10

alton proved, however, that the water
itself was as pure and clear as possible;
the red effect being due to the fact that
the bottom and sides of the lake. as

DISTRIBUTING NATURAL GAS.
Sent Long Distances Through Pipes by
Means of Air Pressure.

Means of Air Pressure.
The transmission or CONVEYANCE of
gas under pressure to long distances.
which was an unsolved problem some
20 years ago, IS now a fixed fact. repre-
scented 10y the present use of about
15,00O,0O0 feet of pipe used in the dis
tribution of natural gas. On the first
discovery of this article, says the Phila-
deiphia Bulletin, the pressure at the
well was sufficient To drive ii through
the pipes almost as far as desired. but
this pressure declining some additional
methods were necessitated, the we'll
known air compressor being resorted
10 to pump the gas; and, as showing
its efficiency, there are at Greenland, in
Indiana, gas wells which have long car
ried supplies to Chicago. There are
two eight-inch pipe lines used. the gas
being pumped a distance of about 16O
miles. There is at Redky, Ind, a
pumping station of this character that
supplies the towns of Springfield, Tiflin.
Liman, Dayton, Piqua and other places
in the western part of Ohio. Near
Pittsburgh there is a gas plant which
pumps 20,OOO.OOO cubic feet every 24
hours for use in mills, the pumping of
tins being without the least difficulty;
and the Philadelphia company pumps
many millions of cubic feet a day
There are New England air compreSsors
that are pumping every day, at various
stations in the United States, the enor-
nous quantity of nearly 1OO, 900, 900
cubic feet.

Openness of mind is the merit of the
philosopher, whose business lies all in
his study. His work is not that of deal
ing with events, with combinations that
move and have their critical moments,
default in seizing which may lead to
misfortunes beyond repair. The philos-
opher deals with distractions. He can
take his time. The present interests
of other people do not depend upon his
right decision. But in practical af-
fairs opcnness of mind is often de-
merit. If the sportsman attempts to
work out the exact distance before he
fires his bird will pass out of sight If
the general sits down on the battle
field to calculate every possible con-
tingency before he gives the word of
command he leaves his army in risk oil
