westphalian Witches Were Red Haired.
Soest, in Westphalia. Prussia, was the
Salem Of the European witch burning
era, and. by the way, the witchcraft de-
fusion lasted for three or four centuries
longer there than it did in the benighted
burg in the colony of Massachusetts bay.
The judicial tribunal before which all
Westphalian witches were forced to APP
pear was called the vehm- gericht and
was composed of the most superstitious
set Of bigots in the province. The trees
are still standing under which this
witch trying congress regularly met ON
the commons of. Soest and the records
Of their proceedings are still to be found
i'll the archives at the town hall.
One of the most noticeable things In
these queer old records of the days of
bigotry and blind superstition is the
fact that the pages upon which are writ
ten the proceedings of cases in which
the accused were condemned to the
stake are all adorned with locks of the
culprit's hair. The individual hairs Of
this queer collection of tufts exhibit all
the variations usually noticed in such
assortments, being long and short,
coarse and fine and straight and curly.
In one very Characteristic feature. how
ever, that of color, all the locks have
the same general appearance, being uni
formly red.
1t is passing curious, to say the least,
that in IA country where red hair does
not predominant all the witches execut-
ed during period covering several hun
dred years should belong to that class
of beings derisively referred to as "brick
top blends. st. Louis Republic.

by DR.. Andrew Wilson of London that a

Battersea in the disposal of homeless

HARBOR LIGHTS.
How the Entrance 60 New York Bay II
Illuminated.

How the Entrance TO New York Bay II
Illuminated.
The entrance tc New York harbor is
illuminated at night like city street,
"a each of the spar buoys along the Ged-
ney channel carries an electric light.
The current for these lights, as we'll as
for some others farther up the harbor,
IL furnished from generating station
at Sandy Hook. Part Of the lights are
supplied with continuous current at
100 volts by means of nearly two miles
of cable, consisting Of a single conduct
or of seven stranded copper wires of
No. IS gauge, covered with an insula-
tor and protected by a double armor of
steel wire. The buoys along the Gedney
channel are furnished with an alternat-
ing current at 1000 volts. probably the
first instance in which such a current
has been used for this purpose.
In the manufacture of the six miles
Of cable for these lights the use Of iron
as an armor had to be discarded, as with
1t the effects of self induction were too
pronounced. Accordingly the armor ern-
ployed is No. Is gauge hard drawn cop
per wire, the conductor consisting of
seven stranded copper wires Of similar
gauge. Gutta percha is the insulator.
The conversion of the alternating current
from 1000 volts in the primary current
to 100 volts for the lamp circuit is eff
fected in a small transformer of GOO
watts capacity fitted inside the head of
the wooden buoy. Each is mounted in
o strong water tight case. which is filled
with heavy oil as an additional insula-
tion. The lamps are Of 100 candle pow
or each, and are set at the top of the
buoy. They are protected by heavy bell
glass globes. and are about five inches
in diameter. The buoys to which these
lamps are fixed are large spars from 60
to 20 feet long, each anchored to the
bottom by hollow cast iron block shap-
ed like mushroom and weighing about
5000 pounds

COSTLY THEATRiCALS.
The Extravsgant Prices Charged at a Phil
adelphia Theater In 1850.


adelphia Theater In 1850.
Playgoers growl at the price Of seats
In the theater today, but let them read
what was charged in Philadelphia at
one time, as told in "Shakespeare's
Heroines ON the Stage" and then rest
content The story is told in these words
in the book:
SIN 1859, at Annapolis, The Mer-
chant of Venice was produced by the
New American company, with Mrs. Os-
borne, the heavy tragedy actress, as the
heroine. The curtain rang up at p. IN.
in the new playhouse. Gentlemen
who desired to pay but 5s. sat perforce
in the pit or upper boxes; those who
could afford rs. Cd. chose the more fash
ionable lower boxes Some Of the cheap
er seats were not easy of access. if we
may Judge by this advertisement in the
paper of the day. Upper boxes are now
preparing. the passage to which must
be from the stage; it is therefore hoped
such gentlemen and ladies as choose to
fix ON these seats will come before the
play begins, as it is not possible they
can be admitted after the curtain is
drawn up
'As for the cost Of going to the thea
ter in the New York playhouse at this
time. that ran lower; gallery seats there
sold for %. each. pit seats for 4s. and
the boxes, Of which there were ten, for
6s. These prices, however, were appar-
emily very moderate whether they were
New York shillings or sterling shil-
lings) compared with the prices at the
Philadelphia theater in 1880, when sl5
was charged for the admission of a
child, $40 for gallery seat, $50 for ad-
mission to the pit. and $40 for box
but these latter prices, 1t may be added,
were in continental money!

DECAY OF A POPULAR FAD.
Little Demand Now for Collections of
Postage Stamps from Philstelists.


Postage Stamps from Phllatelists.
According to the postal officials there
has been big slump within the last
year or two in the stamp collecting bust
ness. Although the government clerks
are supposed to avoid all dealings with
stamp collectors, they are in position
to accurately gauge the condition of the
stamp market, and they are unanimous
in saying that interest in this fad has
fallen off wonderfully of late.
Letters from stamp collectors became
so numerous some time ago that As
sistant Postmaster-GeneralK Kerr Craige
found it necessary to get out circula-
letter in reply to these queries. This
letter starts out by saying that the post
Office department does not buy or deal
in cancelled stamps. No specimen
stamps, either foreign or domestic, are
sold or given away by the department.
The department also fixed the penalty
for postmasters selling stamps for any
larger or less sum than the values in
Dictated on their faces by decreeing that
any official guilty Of violating this law
be fined not less than $50 nor more
than $500.
Probably the greatest drop in the
prices of stamps is that noted in the
case of Columbian stamps. Rare speci-
mems Of this issue that IS months ago
were away above par can be picked up
almost anywhere at their face value.
The reason assigned for the slump in
the prices of Columbian stamps is the
fact that so many individuals invested
in them as n matter of speculation.
The majority of these people knew moth
ing whatever of the relative value Of
stamps to the regular collectors, and
after failing to realize on them at once
they have sold out, and so fairly flooded
the stamp market.
A local stamp collector is authority
for the statement that there is soon to
be united effort made by the dealers
to revive the dropping stamp trade.
This move is to take the shape of an
attempt to bring back the boy trade,
which is necessary for the success of
the business. 1t is said that the rea-
son so many boys have abandoned
stamp collecting of late years is be-
cause of the gradual increase in the
prices of rare stamps. The first move
will be to prepare number of speci-
men stamp albums. This winter a sim
plifed album, which will not call for
stamps of rarity, will be placed on sale
at moderate prices. 1t is thought that
in this way the trade can be stimulated,
although it is conceded that it will be
several years before the stamps will
be at a premium again.--Pittsburgh

Height OF Different Na,ionalities.

A careful inquiry into the average
height of men of different nations has
ELECTED the following facts: The Eng
fish professional classes, who head the
list as the tallest of adult males, attain
the high average of 8 feet eA inches.
Next on the list come the males Of all
classes of the United States, and min
ute fraction behind come the English
of all classes. Hence it may be con-
cluded that, taken right through, the
English and American races are ap-
proximately of the same height. Most
European nations average for the adult
male five feet six inches; but the Aus
TRANS, spaniards and Portuguese Just
fall short of this standard Chicago
