sent for in haste, but before he arrived
the shah was dead.
In order to prevent public excite
ment from becoming too high, the
first report sent out was that the shah
was only slightly wounded, but an
hour later it was officially announced
that the wound had proven fatal al
most instantly.
Quiet prevails here and no disorder
is apprehended as a result of the muir.

Immediately after the shah was shot
he was carried to his carriage and con.
veyed to the palace in Teheran. There
he was attended by DR.. ThOlgean, hi:
chief physician, and other physicians
were hastily sent for. But in spite Of
their efforts His Majesty expired soon
after his arrival at the palace, OF
about o'clock this afternoon.
The assassin, who was promptly ar
rested is said to be from Herman, or
from tie province Of that name. 1t
is believed the murderer has accom-

Some Queer Inventions

Such an institution as the govern
ment patent office, is of course be-
sieged with all sorts of queer ideas
and inventions. The invention, by a
man in Spokane, Washington, of a
machine to tip a mans hat to the
ladies, was considered very queer, but
it does not begin to compare with
many others. One man has a"chicken
walker" which consists of a sharp
ened piece Of Shingle which drags be.
hind the chicken, and when it goes to
scratching, walks it right out
OF the garden. A valuable inven.
tion, surely. Another has a pillow
with a cannon in the beam, for from.
tierSmen. Another man has a pair OF
stills for a horse On side-hill blowing.
An invention which consists in having
locomotive engines slant right down
to the track will, the inventor claims,
cause the engines to simply run up on
top Of each other in collision, Just
which engine would take a notion to
climb up on top he does not state,
Probably the most ludiCrous is "a de.
vice to enable dogs to turn a short
corner" and consists in tying a fan
to bis tail. The small boy has found
out that tin can will do just as well
and make the dog turn the nearest
corner for home pretty shortly.

A Novel Plan of building.

A German inventor has built a house
of hollow tubes, whose advantages are,
he says. a constant temperature, and in
cidentally strength, comfort and beau
ty. He first put up a frame of water
tubing, allowing continuous circula-
ton to a stream of water. Around
this frame ne put his house in the
ordinary wav. The popularity is that
all floors and ceilings are crossed and
recrossed by the water pipes. The
water, having passed through horizon
tai tubes under the floors and ceilings,
passes through the vertical tubes I'M
til all have been gone through. In the
summer fresh, cool water circulates un-
der pressure through the net work Of
tubes, cools of the walls, and after
having run It's course, flows consider
ably warmer than when Il entered. In
its course il has absorbed much heat,
which it carries away. During the long
and severe winter the water entering
through the basement is first heated TO
nearly 100 degrees and then forced
through the ceiling. OF course much
of the heat is left all over the house,
and at the outlet the temperature Of
the water is about 40 degrees. The
speed of the circulation of water can
be regulated, so as to allow fixing a
certain temperature, equal throughout
the building.

| forget whether our meeting at the
same picturesque spot on the morning
was the result of accident or arrange

of many passed in each others society.
Morning after morning we sailed forth
to do our best to transfer the same
bits of scenery to our sketching blocks.
Evening after evening we returned TO
dine side by side, and afterward to talk
and smoke together, indoors or out
doors as the temperature advised or
our wishes inclined.
Great friends we soon became-in-
separable as long as my short ho:;dsy

each to work in company with an anna

However, had Carriston cared to do
so, l think he might have fearlessly
submitted his productions to any con-

immeasurably more artistic and power

to find that good as he was at land

We talked on pleasantly until our
bodily wants were satisfied. Then
came that pleasant craving for tobacco
which, after a good meal, is natural to
a well-regulated digestion.
Shall We go and smoke outsider"
said Carriston. "The night is delic-

We went out and sat on one OF the
wooden benches. AS my new friend
said, the night was delicious. There
was scarcely breath of air moving.
The stars and the moon shone brightly,
and the rush of the not far distant
stream came to us with a soothing muir
muir. Near us were three or four jovial
young artists. They were in merry
mood; one of them had that day sold
a picture to a tourist. We listened to
their banter until, most likely growing
thirsty, they re-entered the inn.
Carriston had said little since we had
been out of doors. He smoked his cigar
placidly and gazed up at the skies.
With the white moonlight falling on
his strikingly beautiful face-the grace
ful pose into which he fell-he seemed
to be the embodiment of poetry. He
paid no heed to the merry talk of the
artists, which so much amused me
