became a power, says the London Echo.
The sultan has four brothers; not one,

brother is Rechad Effendi that is TO
say he is the eldest after ex-Sultan

and the fourth Suliman The sultan's
eldest son, Prince Sehm, has no earthly
chance of succeeding his father. He
has too many uncles and uncles' sons
for that. But Prince Selim is lucky, if
he knows it, for he is not dangerous"
He lives a life of free dom, whereas the
heir is, by the custom of the Ottomans,
kind of life prisoner
Rechad Effendi is rarely seen. Every
time he drives out he is escorted by
troop less by way of an escort than as
guard. The few who do know him
like him, for he is said to be a courteous.
humane, well-informed man, acquainted
with current politics and keenly inter-
ested in them. He is good farmer
The pretty palace known as the Tcher-
agan is his residence. Of course,
Rechad's visitors are searched before
they are admitted, and when they are
leaving, by the sultan's officials. Dur
ing this time of trouble in Armenia,
Constantinople and Crete, Rechad has
been moro narrowly watched than ever,
for the sultan and his clique know that
Rechad is popular. Unlike the sultan,
Rechad is one of the most handsome
men in ConstantinopIe.

.In the days when knockers graced

reports the New York Sun. 1.-The
small boy found sport in banging
the knocker and running. When bells
came in he yanked on the bell pull and

calling people to the door for nothing

into decadence.
There was some fun in pounding
with the door knocker whose thunder
reverberated through the hall and filed
the house, all of which you could hear
yourself. And you could yank the bell
pull out to the limit, causing the bell to
fly almost off the spring; there was fun
in this But there is no such fun in
pushing in a push button. You can
press that in perhaps quarter of an
inch, and that is all you can do with it.
Say you are in the vestibule of fat.
Very likely you don't hear the bell ring
at all; IL may pc th1I IL IS up three OF
four flights of stairs; you hear no sound.
Nobody comes to the door; you don't
have to run. Possibly the people whose
bell you have rung may press button
up there in the air. somewhere and you
may hear the click of the door-opener
at your side, or they may not do even
that.
TT is dry fun; not like the old slam
bang knocker on the outside of the door
or the bell pun with the jingle bell right
in the hall"

Men I'm IA Hurry to Get Away After

A man entering a State street book
store, made several small purchases,
threw down a dollar bill to pay for them.

to him turned to go out. The clerk
called after him, says the Chicago
Times-Herald.

clerk, land we give quite an amount

one idea, and that is to get their goods

change?"
Very rarely. and then it is always

funny thing is, the customer never

looked when we called him back
just as if was making him responsible
for some other mans mistake. It takes

NATURAL COKE.
IL Is Claimed There Is Deposit of i
in the State of Utah.


In works of mineralogv it is learned
that there is such a product as natural
coke. but SO far as known there has
but one deposit of this commodity been
found in the United States, and this was
in the vicinity of Richmond, Va.
Although the deposits of coal in Utah
are immense in their proportions, it was
never dreamed that among its commodi-
ties of trade and commerce the state
could boast of beds of this natural coke,
but such is the case, however, and the
Salt Lake Herald is informed that a
short time ago a vein of this coke had
been discovered in a section of the coun-
try about 40 miles south of this city,
and within Is miles of a railroad.
This deposit crops out on the surface
for some distance. and a 25 to 3o-foot
tunnel has disclosed body of coke that
is all of five feet in width, and there is
every reason to believe that with depth
the size of this deposit will increase
In quality the coke is all that could be
desired, and at the assay Offices at which
it has been tested the statement is made
that it is pure article. and that it is
even superior to the manufactured coke
as it is entirely free from sulphur, btu
men, and that it gives out no smoke
when burned, and makes less ash than
the manufactured article
The new find. which is considered as
being among the most valuable that has
been made in the state, is owned and
controlled by ex-Mayor r. n Baskin
and several other Salt Lake gentlemen,
who have located GAO acres in the imme-
date vicinity of the discovery.

Few royal folks when travelling re-

It does not appear TO be generally
known that among the servants of the
queen are two bearing the title OF her

the queens baggage when the court

organized that every member of the
establishment concerned knows almost
to minute when he or she must be
ready TO receive a visit from the packer
It is also the duty Of the tapissiers to
maintain communication from palace to

which cannot be brought within the
limits of the royal mail boxes; to know
by heart all railway and steamship
routes. and to be able to convey any

a Brooklyn resident whose business is

that begins low and rises gradually as
the car increases in speed, keeping a
uniform tone when the car is running
at uniform speed, and then declining
ping when the car stops? They say
there are people y no travel regularly on
trolleys who hear this sound all the
time wherever they are, except when
they are asleep. They call this having

MOVING A BRICK CHIMNEY.
Carried Nearly Thousand Feet Over
Uneven Ground.


The moving of an ordinary brick
building has always been consid-
cred a feat of more than passing inter-
est, but the transportation of brick
chimney without accident OF damage.
over a considerable stretch Of uneven
ground, was recently accomplished at
Manhanset, Shelter Island. Suffolk coun-
ty, Ny.
The chimney. says the Scientific
American. is SIS feet high and seven feet
square at the base, with outer and in
ner walls eight inches thick and weighs
nearly loo tons. 1t was moved about
$50 feet over very rough ground and
quite a grade, both up and down. The
cradle rested on two skids creased on
the under side and sliding on creased
blocks. The purchase used was grain
capstan, and one horse at $50 fold, and
the time occupied in loading and NOV
ing was only nine days, with the labor
of only four men. The chimney was
placed on its new foundation without a
particle of harm. This is the second
chimney of the above description moved
by the same contrac s. The first one
was SO feet high, at Bridgehampton,
and In both cases the work was com
pleted without accident

The latest idea for the protection of

ocrat. Where a safe is kept in vault,
the vault serves the purposes of a cabi-
net. In either case an electric lining
Is used, consisting Of strips Of metal
mounted in connection with thin metal
sheets, 50 arranged that even a pin

The door Of the vault cannot be opened,
nor can the curtain Of the cabinet be
raised. until time-loek has disconnect,

that the alarm box may he proof against
molestation il is made of steel and
placed within hood lined in the same
way as the cabinet. ANY attempt al
tampering with it will cause an alarm
to be sounded as IN the case of the cab,
met The door is held closed by heavy
lag bolts, the partial removal Of any Of
which will give a warning signal. There
are several Of these lag bolts. and be
fore the door can be opened they hav,
all to be removed. which requires
considerable length of time.

Exfinct Animals.

In a late number of Science DIR. G.
Hart Merriam closes an article which
criticises in rather de structiSe way
some of the geological theories of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. with an appeal to mu-
seums, sportsmen and naturalists to
take advantage of every opportunity
before it is too late to secure and pre-
serve specimens Of our larger mammals
from remote parts of their ranges.
Many species have been exterminated
in Europe by man, and in this country
the process has already begun. The
familiar story of the vanishing buffalo
is only one of many. The giant grizzly
of southern California, the largest
carnivorousa nimalof the United States,
IS about exterminated, and il is doubt
full if museum specimen win ever be
obtained. The large wolves have been
exterminated over more than half the
area they formerly possessed, and no
one knows what forms have disap-
peared. An unknown form of elk or
wapiti. which within the memory Of

4 curious incident of the power of

in the shape of pontedria crassipes.
Last fall, says writer in Meehan's

which l placed in bowl in my sitting
room window. By spring it was a
thrifty plant, with beautiful waxen
leaves. When it was time to set my
plant out of doors l looked about for
something in which to place my lily.
For want of something better put Il
in an old dinner boiler of generous pro-
portions. By midsummer it had out
grown the boiler. Again looked about.
and this time | found a crock. quite
deep, but not very wide. / divided my
plant, putting half in the crock and the
other half in the boiler. This latter /
kept thinned out BY giving slips to
friends; the other plant was left to
grow at It's own sweet will. and. being
a thri plant, very much bent on
growing, and finding il could not spread
according TO its natural mode. ii
changed its tactics and took to grow
ing upward. The air bulbs developed
into long stems, and at the end Of each
grew a very large leaf twice the size
