= An English captains wife ar
rived in London one evening lately,
drove to a hotel With her little boy,
and then went out to buy some
thing. She was unable to find the
hotel again, and it was only by the
announcement of the loss of the
child In the newspapers that it was
discovered after three days.
The first English watches had
weights, and were used as pocket
clocks. They had only one hand,
and required to be wound up twice
q day. The dials were of silver and
brass, and the cases were unglazed,
but opened at the back and front,
and were four or five inches in diam
leteF-ebout the size of common

Nickel coinage has been lately
proposed to the French government
TO relieve the scarcity of copper

PUMPING COAL

Trials IN PennsY vaa!a Bituminous
Regions Have Been Successful.
Many tests have been made in the
hast two or three years in pumping
coal dust from the bituminous re-
gions Of Pennsylvania to the sea
coast II IS claimed that the trials
have proved successful. An exper-
imental plant has been erected at
the Bower Hill mine, about u miles
from Pittsburgh, on the Panhandle
railroad
The line runs from the pump house
to the mouth Of the mine The mix
ture Of coal and water is pumped
into basin. The water runs off
and the coal settles at the exact
spot it Is forced out. The pire is
B inches IN diameter and 1900 feet
long. At several points it is made to
rise perpendicllarly, and all sorts of
bends, shapes and twists have been
put in the pipe to prove that moth
ing will stop the flow. Even when
the parap is stopped, tue dust does
not run to the lowest point in the
pipe onS low grads.
Common bone grinding machinery
is used 10 pulverize the coal. 1t is

are removed. The combustible mat

which, has mixture at the bottom,
only allowing a certain amount CT

The best results have been obtained
by pumping s. per cent. of coal and
81 pep cent of water. The coal and
water are weighed separately before
they enter the tank.

BUGLE-CALLS FOB FTREMEN.
Ingenious Scheme Devised by the
Chief of an English Brigade.


Chief of an English Brigade.
An ingenious series of bugle- calls
for the use Of fremen has been pre-
pared by Mr.. T. G. Dyson, chief Of
ficer Of the Windsor brigade, who
has long been convinced that some
better plan of warning foot pas
sengers, drivers of vehicles, and
others that an engine is on it's way
to fire is desirable than the bar
barrie shout or yell which is at pres
ent the only means employed il
London and various towns through
out England. Each cali is really the
music to particular order; for in-
stance: Clear the road" has three
notes, and Come out, clear out Of
the building" is quite a little
melody. Mr., Dyson points out that
in America, Germany and a few
other countries a bell or gong Of q
peculiar note, affixed to the engine,
is sounded. In France a species o!
horn is used; in Austria and Hun
gary the clarion is employed-the
player sitting on the fire appliance
next to the coachman and sounding
a certain call, On hearing which car
riages have to draw in to either side
of the road, trans must stop, aud
foot passengers cross the road at
their own risk, until the engines
have passed. The call, or signal,
can be heard for some considerable
distance above the din of the traffic,
so that ample notice is given and o
clear way is the result. Again, at q
fire the present system of warning
those engaged that the building or
part of it is about to collapse is by
sending a messenger, a very tard 4
process, and one fraught with con
siderable danger to the messenger,
whereas a distinct signal would be
known and could be heard above the
noise and working Of the engines.

RATHER BIT HIM.
The Chinsman Walked Four Miles
For an AntIdote.

For an AntIdote.
The bite OF a rattlesnake is gener-
ally supposed to prove fatal even
though antidotes are close at hand
and promptly administered, With
the exception of the copperhead tbs
RATHER is the most venomous snake
20 bsASound IN America. A Shasta
(Cal.) correspondent of Forest
and Stream relates an instance of a
Chinaman who was bitten in that
vicinity some weeks ago, and who,
strange TO say, Is now none the
worse for his adventure The
writer says:
The Chinaman was engaged in
placer mining, and in removing
some stones he aroused the RATHER
and endeavored to kill it The
snake ran off, according to the
Chinaman's account, but when be
reached for a stone it turned unex-
pectedly and struck him above the
middle finger on his hand. The
Chinaman sucked the wound, tied a
string above it on his arm and came
to Shasta, walking about four miles.
He had been bitten over two hours
when he reached medical attend
ance.
II interviewed both the patient
and the physician. The late DR.. 7.
J. Edgecomb, Of Shasta, stated his
treatment of the case to have been
as follows: Ben, the Chinaman, APP
piled for treatment for a rattle
snake bite about seven p. M, having
been bitten about two and half
hours He was bitten on the first
phalanx Of middle finger and had a
ligature at the elbow joint, but not
tight enough to be of much benefit
This was frightened Immediately and
kept so for IS hours, being loosele1
for few minutes every two or three
hours.
1.-THE wound was thoroughly
cauterized with c. P. nitric acii.
The forearm all hand were con-
siderably swollen, AMI the swelling
continued to ex"A d upward until
the chest was involved the fourth
day and was much discolore,l. The
arm was bathel once or twice with
ammonia water and later with tine
ture OF iodine and carbolic acid. For
the first u hours whisky and quinine
was given freely and afterward
iodide Of potash. The swelling be-
gan to subside on the fourth day
after the man was bitten and he
went to work on the tenth day COM
pletely recovered.
"The snake was a medium-sized
rattler and ornamented with eight
rattles."

ENTdNBED ALIVE.
The Tragical Fate Of an Unfortunate.
Portuguese Silila..-


A recent newspaper item report
ing the accidental discovery OF a
skeleton in a secret vault where
some building operations we're @.
ing on, calls from a writer in the
Ceylon Observes the following:
Il have reason 10 believe that tho
skeleton was that OF the unfortunate
Portuguese soldier, Casper Figaro,
who was entombal alive by the
Dutch for treachery soon after the
capitalization by the Portuguese or
May IL, 1855.
The Dutch who were besieging
the fort Of Colombo starved out the
garrison so that they were forced
to capitulate. Before doing so,
however, they asked to be allowed
time until May 20, 1856, when they
expected that reinforcement would
arrive, but the Dutch gave time
only until the morrow, so that they
capitulated at the hour appointed,
leaving the fortress with the honors
OF war. For terms OF the treaty of
capitulation readers are referred to
the extract from the History OF
Ceylon, by Rev. Phillippus Baldeus,
minister OF the gospel in the Dutch
expedition, published as an sppen-
dix in vol. iii. Of the revised edition
OF the Ceylon ordinances. Before
the final surrender the Portuguese
resolved To find out the strength OF
the enemy, and with this view the
Portuguese general, Anthonio de
Souza Continho, sent Gaspar Figaro
to the camp of the Dutch. This I'M
fortunate man, who, it is believed,
voluntarily offered his service TO. the
perilous duty, is supposed to have
been rash. When discovered by the
Dutch in their camp, he told Gov
Gen. Joan Matsuyken that he did
not come as spy, but to avenge
himself on some Portuguese officer
who had ill-treated him, and under
took to show the enemy the weak
points in the fortress. He was
forthwith arrested and kept pris-
oner.
After the troubles were over
Figaro was tried by court-martial
and sentenced to death for treachery
to his own countrymen. For OBJ
vious reasons it was thought unde-
sirable to execute him publicly, so
he was entombed alive in the vault
under barley Buffers office, which
was kind Of military prison at the
time, and in which, in later times,
the last king OF Handy and his
retinue were confined previous to
deportation. Rumor has it that
Gaspar Figaro was given a loaf of
bread and a bottle of wine and
closed up in the vault. Some say
that he was entombed outside the
fort in a stone sentry-boy, over the
old powder magazine, but as no skele-
ton was found there when it was de-
molished recently, it is more than
probable that the vault in the fort
was the spot where the CHASTITY
tragedy was enacted.
