A WONDERFUL CLIMB.
Dangerous Feat Accomplished by Two
Young Men In Wales.

Young Men In wales.
A remarkable climbing feat was per-
formed recently in north Wales, in the
first successful ascent of the famous
"slanting" gully of Llewidd, on the
eastern side of Snowdon.
This was the gully in which young
Mr.. Mitchell of Oxford lost his life a
few years ago. The present climbers
are two brothers, named Abraham, ma
tives of Keswick, in the lake district,
where they have acquired their expert
ence. The interest of the climb began
at the famous leave pitch, where Mr..
Mitchell fell and where all previous
climbers have been turned back.
The "pitch" is so or 80 feet high and
consists of cave surmounted by q
chimney, gradually narrowing and
overhanging at the top, where it Is
blocked by some rocks which have fall
en- from above. 1t took the two climb
ers whole hour to surmount this. On
the overhanging rock they found scratch.

that poor Mitchell fell. London Chron

The big safe constructed of steel rails
which for 10 years was used by the
Manhattan Elevated Railway company
in the old Arcade building, in Broad
way, New York, has been demolished
after four days hard work by ten work
men employed by the safe company that
built it. The workmen who were de-

too tough for them. Inside the outside
casing of steel rails was steel cage
weighing many tons. The brick and
stone base, two stories high, upon which
the safe stood, was also removed.

Mary Roman is a very pretty girl. OF

Port Reading, near Perth Amboy, N. j.
That she is intelligent, too, is proved
by the fact that she carefully reads the

Miss Roman was much interested In
this hold up and surprised by its dar-

the bold robbers-John Harmon and
Joseph Chandos. About a month ago
two young strangers arrived at Port
Reading. They were quiet chaps, we'll

STYLES IN PARUOR STOVES
The Evolution of the Self Feeder-"High
Art and Low Feed"


Art and Low Feed"
The modern American self feeding
parlor stove, which also was originally
made cylindrical in form, is now almost
without exception made square. The
self feeder commended itself at once
upon its introduction and it soon came
into wide use. It's utility was every
where recognized. 1t was not then,
however, so perfect in detail as it has
since been made. The magazine was at
first made larger than was really neces-
sary, even for the purpose Of such a
stove. In large size self feeder, stand
ing pretty high generally, the opening
into the magazine at the top, through
which the coal was poured, was so high
that it became quite task to lift
scuttle of coal up to it. This was not so
much noticed at the very outset, when
people were more impressed by other
features, but it speedily became a con.
sideration of Importance. twas said at
the time that in feeding some of the
stoves stepladder was needed. 1t GER
tainly did require a considerable degree
| of exertion.
The ornamentation of the stove at
that time consisted of holdings and
| bands, and perhaps Of wreaths in low
relief, cast upon the upper part of the
! cylinder, looped around the top, and the
stove was often surmounted with an
ornamental urn. All this made hand
some stove, as stoves went, but it was
felt that something better might be pro-
duced in the way of style and finish
and that it was practically essential that
something should be done to lower the
feed These two requisites to the high
est developm ent and greater success OF
the self feeding parlor stove were form
ulated in the phase thigh art and low
feed" once familiar in the trade The
demands were promptly met
To bring the feed lower. the whole
stove was lowered wherever it could bt
done, trifie being taken here ant
there, the CRATE was lowered little
and the magazine was reduced in size
where that could be done and still
leave it of ample size to meet essentia
requriments. The effect of these changes
was to bring the feed down to where /
is today, within convenient reach, ant
the general lowering of the structure o
the stove was i'll keeping also with TIT
new outward shape that was adopted
square instead of round, the fire pot
however, remaining round.
At first in the orLamentation o
stoves of the new design tiles were use'
| freely and some of the parts of TN
stoves or their trimmings were nicke
plated. Tiles are still used TO consid

freely used than at first, and bronze

A Lake of Ink.

In the midst of the $500 Cocopah
volcanoes of Arizona stands the lake of
ink, into which run scores of streams OF
clear, hot mineral charged water. 1t
is only quarter of mile long by half
as much wide, but no bottom has ever
vet been found to its gloomy depths.
The black water rises to within three
or four inches of its level shores, and
the temperature at the edge is 10 de-
grees F., rising at a depth of $50 feet
to 216 Degrees degrees above boiling
point. To the touch the water feels
smooth and oily, and when it is in re-
pose ashes and oily matter cover the
surface half an inch thick. Although
the water is jet black, it does not
discolor the skin of bather The col
oring matter seems to be held in sus-
pension and will adhere to q white
cloth dipped in the lake. To the taste
the water is warm, salt and bitter.
To the bather the sensation is most
delightful, exhilarating to such de-
gree that bath Of 10 minutes makes
one feel as if under the influence OF the
very best brandy.
