Five Orphans Know Where 1t In, but

VIII Let 1t Rest.
FROM the New York Sun.
Five boys from the Orphans Home in
Railway went on an expedition recently,
the purpcs of which was to discover Capt.
Kids treasure. The late captain has bur-
led his treasure, according to popular re-
port in several hundred different places on
or ne ar the Atlantic coast, and. as every
boy in this country knows, nobody has
thus far succeeded in finding any part Of
It, There was no reason to Johnny Dough-
erty's mind why he shouldn't find It, par
ticularly as he knew pretty near where 1t
was
Johnny has an uncle who lives in New
burgh and the boy while visiting him
learned of a cave near there where the
treasure lies buried. Anybody who went TO
the cave when the moon was just in the
right quarter and dug at midnight where
the last RAYS of light fell would find untold
riches This fact Johnny learned of an
ancient negro in Newburgh. he told or
his knowledge to his companions at the
Orphans Home, Fred Durham and the
three Decker boys. He hadn't intended to
let Gus Decker, who Is only six years old,
in on the scheme, but Gus overheard part
of 1t, and intimated pretty plainly that I'M
less he were taken along he would tell Mr..
LAMBERT who tas charge Of the boys. all
about it, and he and Mr.. LAMBERT would
take a train for Newburgh and dig up that
treasure for themselves. So Gus was per-
nitted to join the party.
Tuesday morning was the time set for
the departure. At the breakfast table
Johnny Dougherty mentioned the subject
to Mr.. LAMBERT, because all the boys like
Mr. LAMBERT, and the five didn't want him
to be worried about them.
Were going away, Mr.. LAMBERT" said
Johnny.
".An right, boys; don't be gone long" said
Mr.. LAMBERT, who thought that they were
IN fun. or that If they did go away they
wouldn't GO far as JOHNNY, the leader, Ia
but twelve years old end a cripple.
When they didn't return from school al
noon, Mr.. Lamberti began to think that
they rad CO rried out their design, and went
to the village of Railway, three-fourths OF
a mile distant, to look for them, cut failed
to find any trace. At o'clock the truants
returned, very tired ard dirty. 'Tney hadn't
found the treasure. they said, but they had
found q tramp, who had fired pistol to
scare them off. and drunken lady, who
had thres tened them with stick, and who
used language such as no lady, even when
drunk, should Use They didn't want any
treasure anyway. All they wanted was
some supper ard bed. They got both. and
ere now back at school and behaving in q
most exemplary manner

appeared to know her way, and hurried on

The girl called her sister, and they fol-

1T LOOKS BEHIND.
An Ingenious Telescope and What 1t
Enables Ono to Do.

Enables Ono to DO.
From the New York World
Mankind once had an extra eye in the
back of the head. Scientists say that they
oan still find traces of this eye in certain
Irregular formation of the skull at the point
where the ancient eye socket used to be.
These irregular places are called rudimen-
tsry eyes, but they are not to be found in
all people. In fact, man who can boast
Of a rudirnentary eye Is quite superior
person. OF course, these rudimentary eyes
are OF no real use to anybody, not even to
the owner of one of them. but they serve to
show US that at certain stage in our
career nature thought it was wise thing
TO enable us to keep watch in the rear.
A foreign firm of opticians have very
considerably endeavored to supply, as far
as may be done by mechanical means, the
loss of this rear-view eye They have con-
structed a telescope which enables the user
to look around corner. By Its means you
n ay see and remain unseen, circumstance
which possesses obvious advantages They
call the invention the stereo-telescope.
Stereo comes from a Greek word meaning
solid, and IN this connection 1t is used as
indicating that the image as seen through
the stereo-telescope seems an exact coun-
terpart Of the object, and not mere pic
ture Of IL
The two tubes that extend horizontally
carry an object glass in either end. The
eye pieces are placed on an axis at right
angles to that of the objective or long
tubes. When the observer looks through
the small peepholes he sees q different field
with each eye. The rays of light from the
objects that lie in the field of vision are
reflected by means of pTiSIns, SO that they
turn the corner of the right angle. Thus
you may leisurely study an object while
under cover. the head being in such posi-
ton as not to admit of it's being seen.
When the tubes are thus extended the OBJ
server may stand behind a tree a wall
and reconnoiter from his concealed posi-
ton
There are also other points In favor of
the instrument The field of vision is
enormously extended. You may study OBJ
jects at opposite points of the compass with
10 more trouble than the winking of your
eye. The stereo-t telescope may be folded up
IN which position, being held with the tubes
upward. it enables the observer to look
above an object obstructing his view, such
as hedge, wall or crowd of people.

Importing Egyptian Sugar.

About 1890 tons of sugar are now afioat
on the way to Philadelphia from Aexan-
dria, Egypt. These cargoes are on board
British tramp steamships and are due
about March 1. The importation in large
quantities Of Egyptian sugar is new
thing, made necessary through the appre-
heEsion that the Cuban crops, by reason
of the war, will be very poor. In addition
to this large quantities Of sugar are being
shipped from Hamburg in British steam
ships and from Honolulu in American
clipper ships.

Failed to Photograph a Brain.

Thomas A. Edison, the electrician, was
hard at work all day yesterday in his lab
oratory at Menlo Park, N. J., preparing
for his experiment of photographing the
human brain with the aid Of the newly dis
covered X or cathode ray. With the aid Of
mercury pumps, he labored assiduously on
Crooke's tube of his own manufacture. To
the mouth of each tube a long glass tube
was attached, and through this, by means
OF a connecting tube in the side, the mer-
curry was run, and the air in the Crooke's
tube was gradually exhausted by the mer-
curry. Surrounded by a score or more OF
inquisltive reporters and other curious Wis
itors. Mr.. Edison sat for hours watching
the progress Of the work. and he displayed
a wonderful amount Of patience, when,
after repeated trials, the desired result was
not obtained.

when he now saw the eager figures

Slipping along the passage he reached
the staircase which led to the corridor
in the rear of the balcony. Descending
this rapidly he not only came upon the
backs of the excited crowd around the
table, but even elbowed one of the con-
spirators aside without being noticed.
His wife, who had risen from her

A burst of almost hysteric applause
and enthusiasm broke from the assem-

sages and corridors of the casa ring.
Cheer after cheer went up to the yelled
gallery and the misty Sky beyond; men
mounted on the tables and waved their
hands franticaly, and in the midst of
this bewildering turbulence of sound
