selects, il it should be found necessary
for the king TO act The Scandinavian n
monarch will not be the fifth arbitrator,
as was enormously stated by the press
dispatches. Royalty never sits with sub
jects. yet the indirect connection which
Oscar III. may have with the Venezue-
Ian affair gives him importance in the
eyes of Americans. The King is n very
democratic ruler. He goes about among
his people freely and without reserve.
He gives them to understand that he is q
Scandinavian first and n monarch after
ward. His reign has covered a period OF
constant and unruffied prosperity. His
interest has been unflagging in the agri-
cultural. mining and Industrial affairs Of
his kingdom. and no person, however
humble, in his domains, who has shown
aptitude or merit, has been unrewarded.
He is very crudite. History, the classics,
art. literature and science are affected
by him. and he is without doubt the most
cultured monarch in all Europe. Person
ally. King Oscar Is a most affable. polish
ed man. He devotes his leisure time to
association with savants. artists and au-
thors, and in these conversations the
widest liberty is given and royalty forgot

tive appearance. Scandinav vians in Amer
lea are now making up present to send
him ON his sixty-ffth birthday, early in
January.

by Mr.. Curry and members of the lodge.
During his sickness he expressed the
opinion that the members of the lodge
were in no way to blame for the accident
and the desire that nothing should be
made public.
More or less Of the truth. however. be-
came known. Immediately following his
death conflicting stories as to the nature
of the initiatory rites TO which he had
been subjected were told. One of these
stories were which printed in an afternood
paper was TO the effect that Mr.. Curry
was seated on chair connected with an
electrical current. That as he did MOI
move with small current. more was
turned on, and that ultimately, without
his moving, the current was increased I'M
til il was found that blue smoke was aris-
ing from his flesh; that then he was pulled
from his chair severely burned and taken
to his room, death finally resulting. This
story was strenuously denied by mem
hers of the lodge, who claim there are
no electrical appliances in the lodge
room.
In view of the conflicting stories. sew
eral members of the lodge consented tn
talk. Their stories agree and probably
give a correct version of the episode 1t
Is as follows:
In the course of initiation Mr.. Curry,
being properly robed in u somewhat light
costume and blindfolded. was placed up
on chair having Il metallic bottom.
Under this chair an ordinary kerosene
lamp was placed. 1t was expected that
when sufficient heat had developed he
would jump from the chair in alarm and
furnish merriment to the assembled Elks.
Mr.. Curry, being of n stoical disposi-
tion and perhaps unduly excited by the
ordeal through which he had passed. had
evidently made up his mind TO take what
ever punishment was meted out to him
in the course of events end retained his
seat until his garments took fire and he
was severely burned. His constitution
had not been strong, and as result of
the ordeal he took to his bed. At first it
was expected he would soon recover. bur
the wounds did not heal and blood poison
ing set in. which could not be controlled
by the physicians, and death was the
result. During his sickness, which was
of several weeks duration. Mr. Curry
stated 10 a member of the lodge that he
had no idea he was being severely burned.
He thought at the time, he said. that a
tiy blister or something of the same ma
tnre had been attached to him. and hc
thought he could stand il as well as those
who had taken the degree before.

by a special fan placed on the roof Of the
connecting corridor. joining the Senate
wing to the old central building
The paneling of the gallery walls has
been renewed and painted in lighter and
more modern designs, and the lower walls
of the chamber have been restored and
colored in light pearl. with gold damask
panels. The press gallery has likewise
been restored in an improved form. and
ventilating chairs supplant those of the
abandoned pattern.
1ncaudescent Lights.
The substitution of incandescent elec-
trio lights above the glass ceilings is a
great Improvement over the old gas
lamps. In former times, unless carefully
watched. the gas lights at the ceiling
would raise the temperature of the cham
Der as much as 10 degrees in the course
of half an hour and oftentimes the sud-
den heat would shatter the glass and
endanger the tLeNated lives of Senators
below. Finally. 1-s0 are lights have been
distributed and erected throughout the
Capitol grounds, and the use of gas has
been discontinued ia the grounds as well
as in the Capitol itself.
The expert who orerhauled the old ven
tilating system Of the Senate and Capitoi
generally, and uI'ou whose recommends
tion the present improvements were
made. was constrained 10 say in his Off
cial report regarding the condition Of the
historic old edifice: II have found IL
impossible to approach the study without
such a sense of admiration for those
whose names are inseparably associated
with this work as to tempt me to suggest
rs little disturbance of the existing condi-
lions as shall be consistent with the at
tainment Of desired results: and. on the
other hand, | have been Influenced by a
feeling of reverence for the noble build
ing and its great uses. which impels me
to recommendation Of nothing short of
the most complete and effective equip
ment possible"
The cost of this renewal of the Senate
chamber has been SJ5. 700. for which an
appropriation was made ut the last ses-
sion Of Congress on the sundry civil BILL
and the cost Of the extension Of the cleo
trio light system TO the Capitol grounds
was within the $4,000 granted for that
purpose at the same time.

and placed fBe wounded foot on . col
leagues desk, there has been n deal Of
Uoking in the Senate on the subject OF
ventilation. and there are officials Ia the
Senate who remark that the present ven
tila ton project il the sequel Of that jocu-
lar and good natured agitation.
First. "a cold storage plant costing $15,-
900 was established in the terrace at the
west front of the Capitol. 1t is operated
by the usual ammonia process and in
,cludes "a refrigerating machine, n tank,
IAN iinsulator and an engine. Exceedingly
cold brine Is supplied to the air in the
system of air ducts reaching from the ter
race TO the distributing shafts. This alb
~stracts the humidity from the air and
reduces its temperature, and can be con-
trolled so that the requisite supply OF
cool air can be given to the Senate even
in the most torrid Washington summer
weather Associated with this cold stor-
age plant are fresh mir and steam heat
ing systems. The steam heating plant
in the Senate basement furnishes this
steam heated air to automatic fans at a
definite temperature. The old fans and
steam engines have been removed, and
newer and more efficient fans substituted,
driven by electric motors directly connect
ed with the shaft fans.
Where They Get Air.
The pure outside air supplied to the
steam heating coils is brought from the
stone tower at the northwest section of
the Capitol grounds, and, after being
properly warmed. is diffused through the
heating shafts. The temperature is reg
ulated by a special automatic device. IL
the temperature in the Senate should
change one degree either too warm or too
cool. the device shuts off the hot air sup
ply in measure, if too warm, and allows
the cold air to mix with it until the de-
sired temperature Is restored. If too
cool, the supply of cold air is restricted
in a similar way.
The air supply. whether heated for win
ter or artifcially cooled for summer, is
forced from the various plants with an
even pressure through the air-shafts un-
der the air-tight flooring of the Senate
and galleries. through the desk and chair
legs, and through the diffusing boxes.
The pressure is controlled by regulators
under each chair, desk and box. The
foul or consumed air escapes through es-

He Was Compelled to Disrobe.

The police Of New York captured 80
pounds of burglar, which netted them
1JO pounds of prisoner. The extra hun

not escape when pursued. At the sta
