The news that PadeTewsM has been
compelled to cancel all his English en-
gagements, owing to nervous prostration,
brought on by insomnia, Will not be
surprise to those of his friends in this
country who are aware of the effort that
II cost the great pianist to sleep. 1t is
said that. while at his hotel in New York,
he never retired until morning and that

until the pianist felt that he could finally
Get to bed with some chance of sleeping.
The New York Sun says. On that IA

netted over S2J0.0OO for him, PadereNski

performance before he ate. on the days
on which he gave concerts-and rev
nights were missed-he took nothing du-
ring the day but a cup OF tea waiting
until IL o'clock or later for his dinner.
Then he ate an elaborate dinner, with as
many courses and az much variety as
the well-equlpped kitchen Of his car Of
fered. 1t was after dinner that he really
seemed TO wake up. and usually at mid
night he commenced TO play whist with
his companions on the car. The whist
playing lasted usually until oc'ock or
later. and as PaderewsN is a strict and
scientific player. this feature OF the trip
began TO become a little oxhaustirg TO

The statement is made by New York
paper that both Tesla and Edison are
about to astonish the world with new
wonders in electricity. The former, 1t Is
said. has perfected his yacuum-tube sys-
TEN of electric lighting without wires
the possibilities Of which he first brought
TO public notice about five years ago
9, = loc,ure before the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers. This light is
whittier more brilliant, and more intense
than the arc light, and is produced with
a much smaller amount Of electrical
energy. Edison's latest advance, attained
hv working along lines different from
,bose of Tesla. is the development of a
naw kind of electric lamp or vacuum
tube. by means of which the Roentgen
X-rays are turned into pure, white light.
Edison's new lamp is an ordinary Crookes
tube. coated on the interior surface with
CRYSTALS of a new fluorescing substance,
which he has discovered similar to tung-
state of calcium. The X-rays. in passing
through this coating of crystals. are
changed to light. Very little heat is
generated. and nearly the whole of the
electrical energy expended is transformed
into light. From both of these dis
coveries is expected a more perfect and
more economical illuminant than any we
now have.
However,~it is hardly possible that
either discovery will astonish the world
The fact is, progress in the fed of cleo
| trical science has been so rapid recently
/ that the world is pretty well prepared
not to be astonished at any new dis
coyery such men as Tesla and Edison
may announce.

Ten Rounds and Knockout in New
York Gymnasium.

Ten Rounds and Knockout in New
York Gymnasium.
Nearly every week day afternoon the
favored visitor to certain aristocratic
gymnasium on Fifth avenue, New York,
may see clever boxing bouts between
the spirituelle young sports in knicker-
bockers who are members Of the organ
ization.
Not many days ago, says the New
York World, ten-round ''go" between
two of the most expert girls resulted in
a clean knockout.
A member of the gymnasium, who
found the secret too much to keep,
gives details of the bout, but refused to
say more than that the contestants
were named Maud and Ethel respect
lively.
For the first four rounds neither fair
boxer gained much advantage. al
though there were several rafting ex-
changes
In the fifth Maud secured first knock
down, and there followed three rounds
devoted to uneventful rallies.
The ninth round was distinguished by
some clever work in the way of feints,
ducks and counters, both contestants
being pretty well winded at the quaver-
ing call of time from member who
was so excited that she had almost lost
her voice.
When the flushed and painting, but
plucky, girls faced each other for the
last round the first effort made was
splendid straight-arm punch which
sent Ethel Keeling for moment. A
new member of tender years quietly
tainted in a corner just as Ethel re-
covered herself quickly in time to duck
another beauty aimed for the chin.
Before Maud could get herself back
into position Ethel landed twice and
her adversary at once became exceed
ingly groggy.
Ethel, though putting like a grampus
herself, was quick to see her opportuni-
ty, and with a smart uppercut sent poor
Maud to the floor in bunch, fairly
knocked out.
The vanquished maid was carried to
dressing-room, where she soon recov-
cred. Then all the girls. after having
good cry together, went home, satisfied
that they had a lovely time and eager
for the next bout.

The Prince Took OF His Hat.

According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, the captain of the clipper Louisi-
ana, which lately arrived at that port,
tells a good story Of the way an Amer
lean boy, without making himself Of
fensive, extorted a tribute from
royalty. While the Louisiana was ly-
ing at Dublin, the prince of Wales,
who was then the guest of the lord
mayor of the Irish capital, sent word to
the captain that he would like to come
on board and see what an old-time
American clipper-ship was like. The
captains son heard what was going on,
and declared that he would make the
prince tip his hat to him. He knew, it
seems, that the prince was not in the
habit of uncovering in this way. When
the royal party came on board the boy
appeard on deck waving the American
flag. The prince, seeing the national
colors, lifted his hat, and the rest of
the party followed suit, to the great
delight of the captains son, who thus
had made good his boast.
