Tuesdays drawing at Bucklng-
ham palace was by far the smartest OF
the year. The weather was beautiful,
and enormous crowds of people lined
the streets in the neighborhood of the
palace and the Mall. A striking feat
ure of the day was the many state car
riages in line. The coach Of the duke
and duchess Of Marlborough eclipsed
all of them. It cost $1,000 and has
taken q long time to finish. The body
was of deep red and the coach was
adorned, in addition to a ducal crown
and coat Of arms, by princely coronet,
as the duke of Marlborough is a prince
Of the Roman empire, and as the Daily
Mail says, she is not inclined to abate
one jot or little Of his titles" The sup
ports of the carriage are in the shape of
red mounted silver serpents, with real
silver ornaments made by a skilled
jeweler, on the Hammer Cloths. There
were three footmen behind the coach.
They wore red Hveries, which were COW
cred with gold embroidery, that part
of the work being done in Italy, in
order to insure the embroidery against
furnishing. There is a. story printed
here to the effect that when the duke
Of Marlborough ordered his liveries, he
chose a brighter red. but the tailor re-
fused to make the liveries of that color,
and pointed out to the duke that the
particular shade of red which he most
admired was confined to the use Of
royalty. The duke, as the result. was
obliged to be contented with the shade
of red used by his ancestors for the liv-
cries of their servants. The duchess of
Marlborough wore more. Jewels than
any one present at the drawing-room,
and her very tall diamond crown, and
her necklace, composed Of the famous
Vanderbilt pearls, caused sensation.

Of the whaleback had come nearer to
the real principle sought in navigation

the water. Instead of utilizing the
movement of the ocean or Of lakes and

were argued on demurrer before Cir
cult Judge Caftrill at Georgetown and
the motion to quash was taken under
advisement by the court. The at

is a statutory penalty in this state for
bribery or attempt to brihe, there is
none for "conspiring to BRIDE" the Of

every time a head was broken in trying

If it was used for aquariums, the i'm
possibility of repairing the walls should
render it inexpedient as well as dam

"Do you, also. reject the proffer?"
| said the Scientist sadly to the Poet.
1T is certainly not consistent with
the scheme of things as / understand
it," he responded, "and. except for the
| allegorical value Of Invisible Paint,
can see no adequate reason for it's ex-
| istence."
'If you please" interrupted the wo-
man. Il have often wished for invisible
hairpins. and If no one else can use
the paint, will gladly buy your inven-
| ton"
But you know you are always losing
your hairpins." exclaimed the infuriat-
ed Scientist, how then would you ever
find them if they were permanently in
visible?"
He seized the vial of priceless liquor
and walked sadly toward the window.
Right across the invisible floor he
walked, then stood in the centre of the
room, hung in mid-air, lost in thought,
| overwhelmed by his disappointments.
But, as he stood there, the floor gath
cred form and color: the board began
to be dimply shadowed forth and grew
more and more visible. And the group
of spectators rose and screamed as one
man, "Hurrah, the paint is only tenn
porarily invisible, after all Sell me
the stuff" And they rushed in a mob
at the Scientist. At the cry he awoke
from his reverie, and beheld the labors
of a lifetime had been as nought, his
paint was but a semi-success after all,
and conquered by despair, he fell. and
the sublime reagent dashing upon the
floor, flooded him in an invisible puddle
that made his lifeless body seem float
ing, suspended in space.
How beautiful is his death. and this
victory he called defeat" unused the
Poet, behold, the merest child may

PROPHECIES WHICH FAILED.

There are few famous prophecies
which failed utterly and became his
torical on that account Aristotle, for
instance, said that slavery would last
forever or until the shuttle would weave
of Its own accord. This Is double mis-
take, for slavery is abolished and thanks
to invention the shuttle may be said to
work of it's own accord.
Before fifty years are over all Europe
will be either republican or Cossack,"
prophecied Napoleon l. in the first decade
of this century. AT the end of nearly a
hundred years Europe is no more re-
publican than ever and the Cossacks
have no more power.

1.-THE United States of Europe" was
the prediction of all ardent democrats

it's fulfillment was to take place at the

small people, but no evidence Of child
hood, as we know 1t.
Wishing to place his own son of Ii
years In the public schools, he made a
point of visiting the schools extensive
ly and leisurely, and the results, to his
mind, were far from happy.
The masters. for the most part, he
found to be domineering autocrats,
abusing their power in a way to rouse
the Fourth of July spirit of the meek
est American lad. For the slightest
failure of quick response, a ready an
swer'- there were no such things as
misdemeanors, poor little souls--the
boys were brutally held up by the
chin, lifted by the ears, had books
flung at their heads, or received a sharp
blow over the knuckles.
Then they have nearly twice the
number Of hours a week that the Amer
lean boy has, going to school at seven
in the morning, except in midwinter,
when the session begins at eight, and
spending a good part of the day there.
In point of discipline the schools are
| all alike, and the American boy was
sent to one of them. Though never mo-
Tested himself, the acts of injustice and
the cruel use Of power that he daily
witnessed worked upon his sympathies
and liberty-loving spirit to such a de-
gree that his parents thought best to
finally take him out of the school,
Even the holidays are spent in a way
few American boys would be likely to
choose. The pupils are marshaled in
regiments through the cities, taught
the topography of the country. the his
tory and significance OF all the monu-
ments, are shown points of historic in
terest, the homes of distinguished men,
etc. The American boy is expected to
pick up such information in the course
of the play.
On other days they are taken into
the woods to gather and analyze fiow-
ers, go out on a geographical survey,
or Tor a lesson in natural history. These
lattsr, however, are of such immense
service, and may be made SO interest
ing that they are, perhaps, worth the
sacrifice of the holiday.
Another enormous advantage that
American boys have is the delightful
literature that Is placed at their dispos-
al. In Germany there is a tremendous
dearth of good books for boys. Youths
literature is for the most part eXcee-
sively juvenile and weak.
Except for their peerless fairy stories
there is almost nothing of value. and
but for the fact that some of the best
English and American books for youths
have been translated into German, the
boys and girls of the vaterland would
have little but their school books and
the most puerile stories for reading of
the maturer sort
Boys are kept absolutely in leading
strings until sent to college, when they
enjoy full liberty. The result of this
system is that terrible crop of wild
oats is sown in the first years of coll
lege life.

Paper Rails Are Being Used Success
fully on Continental Lines.

ou
From the Paper Trade Journal.
The successful introduction of rail-
road rails entirely Of paper material
In Germany and Russia has encour-
aged American manufacturers to ex-
pertinent. The foreign mode of maxi
ing the rail consists in the employment
of moulds and powerful pressing mach
ines, the former for shaping the rail,
and the latter for consolidating pur-
poses. Paper car wheels have been in
use for many years, and have given
satisfaction. 1t is not assuming too
much to anticipate satisfactory results
with paper rails. The iron or steel
rails now in use are by no means free
from defects. The metal is always
more or less affected by the conditions
of the atmosphere, and accidents are
frequently traced to the warping, con-
traction or expansion of rails.
Again, there are flaws and similar
imperfections in rails of the metallic
order, and these often give trouble.
The heavy locomotives and other roll
ing stock of these days require extraor-
dinarily large and heavy rails, conse-
quently the rails cannot be made very
long, as the weight would be too much.
The paper rails are less than one-half
lighter for the same length and size,
s. that, so far as the light question is
concerned, the length of the latter can
be twice that of the iron or steel rail.
This obviates the use of just so many
joints, dispensing with so many bolts
and connections and relieving the
wheels of the car from just so many
shocks.
The process of manufacturing the
rails is not difficult when once the nee
essary compressive apparatus is avail
able, as the solidifying operation is
probably the main part of the whole
work. The composition of the rail in
cludes several varieties of the paper
pulp stock. Wood pulp has not been
tried with any marked success as yet,
but ordinary pulp from rags, rope
stock, etc, answers the purpose. The
procession of grinding, cooking, digest
ing and working of the rags into a
pulpy condition are accomplished in
regular order, care being taken to have
the stock uniform in preparation and
the fibres as well preserved as possible.
When in a pulpy condition the ingredi-
ents for stiffening the raj. rendering it
tough and efficient, so as to stand ex-
cessive wear and friction from the

THE INVISIBLE PAINT.
A Fable from the Lark.

A Fable from the Lark
At last, after many long and earnest
years of research, the Scientist had
come suddenly upon the discovery that
was to complete his life work and write
his name among the most famous bene-
factors of the race. 1t was from the
reaction of pure cardium upon certain
organic salts of the superhydrated nj
trous oxide of hypofenyltrybr
ionic acid that he wonderful precipitate
appeared. and at the advent, his dream
focused and Ambition leaped onto the
dry groun of fulfllment Like an ex-
pectant parent ne had chosen the name
the commercial name under which the
product should be marketed-long be-
fore the result was brought forth; and.
being less versed in Rhetoric than in
Chemistry, he had fancied that Invis-
ible Paint would prove an attractive
appellation for the ware that was to
renumerate him. For this marvellous
substance possessed the unique virtue
Of rendering permanently invisible any
body to which it was applied. He had
proved this upon his own laboratory
floor, to the eternal CONSERVATION Of his
housekeeper in the room below.
But, a. pure Science concerns itself
little with the practical application of
its discoveries, the Scientist called to
him representatives of the various Arts,
with view to confer the boon to man
kind upon the most deserving. There
appee red, therefore, at the symposium,
an Artist a Soldier, an Artizan, a
Poet, and a Woman.
OF these, only one possessed the cour-
age to walk across the invisible floor
The scientist turned first to the ar
tist: You" he said, "whto are con-
tinually .prating of beauty. and who
hold that virtue the sole excuse for
woman's existence buy my invaluable
recipe, and erase from the world the
features and forms that cannot claim
your approval; I grant you the privi-
lege of the first offer!"
II would gladly avail myself of the
right" replied the atist, yet ! have of
late suffered so acutely by the unwel-
come visits of female intruders in my
studio, that l cannot bear the thought
that they may be enabled to be pres
ent without my knowledge. l have no
doubt. however" he continued, that
they would willingly submit to an oper-
alton which would permit them to so
easily crafty their curiosity"
You might paint only their faces,
suggested the scientist.
The artist shuddered.
ITO you, them" said the scientist
turning to the soldier, submit this
remarkable means of revolutionizing
the art of war! Your uniforms, coated
with this paint, would We invisible to
the enemy, and your manoeuvres would
be accomplished unseen"
The soldier blushed, and with ar
apologetic gesture toward the lady re-
piled: THE spectacle of battalions of
naked men marching upon the foe does
not accord with the accepted traditions
of civilized warfare"
True" said the Scientist, Il had not
thought of that! But although / had
hoped to promote first the aesthetic OF
humanitarian development of our peo-
pie by the use of my Invisible Paint, /
now see that it's proper field is in a
more strictly commercial territory, and

of any Of the substances are procur-
able.
Quantities Of borax, paraffne wax,
tanners grease. waterproof fish glue,
resin and fine cement are employed in
necessary proportions, and are added
to the pulp while It Is yet warm. Mix
ing follows, and the ingredients are
thoroughly combined with the fibre. A
quantity of shellac and wood alcohol is
next put into the mixture, and the mass
Is subjected to another stirring and
then permitted to settle.
The paper rails are strong. durable,
can be bent for curves like other rails
and possess the advantage Of light
ness and increased length, besides be-
ing easier for the wheels and cars, and
having other points of superiority.
Their cost is said to be thirty per cent.

aptable for both paper and iron car
wheels.
