KOSSUTH AS AN ORATOR.
Imposing In Appearance and the Finest
Speaker of His Time.

Imposing In appearance and the Finest
Speaker of His Time.
"In appearance Kossuth was taller
than Americans had been led to sup
pose His face had an expression of pen
etrating intellect" writes Parke God
win, recalling the American visit in
1851 of the great Hungarian patriot
in paper Of the "Great Personal
Events" series in The Ladies' Home
Journal "It was long, the forehead
broad, but not excessively high, though
a slight badness made it seem so, and
the chin narrow, but square in its
form. His hair was thin in front and
dark brown, as was his beard which
was quite long, but not very thick, and
arranged with neatness and taste. His
mustache was heavy and rather long.
His eyes were very large and of light
blue His complexion was pale. AS a
speaker his manner was at once incom-
parably dignitied and graceful. His
posture and appearance in repose were
imposing, not only from their essential
grace and dignity, but from sense of
power they impressed upon the beholder.
HE spoke as if with little prepar alton
and with that peculiar freshness which
belongs TO extemporaneous speaking,
and tho wonderful compactness aud art
Of his argument were not felt until you
reflected upon it afterward. He gesticu-
lated freely, equally well with both
arms Nothing could be more beautiful
, in its way than was the sweep of his
: right hand, as it was raised to heaven
when he spoke of the Deity; nothing
sweeter than the smile which at times
mantled his face. Beyond doubt he
was the greatest of orators then living. u

Making Marbles.

Marbles are manufactured from the
material which gives them their name.
At the marble quarries the refuse stone
is broken by hand into small cubes. A
bushel or more Of these is poured into q
great revolving cylinder, which is sup
plied with water from faucet. The
cylinder is revolvcd at high rate OF
speed, and the cubes, by attrition, are
ground down to the tiny spheres which
give such delight to the hearts OF the
boys. From one to two hours are usu-
ally required to finish lot Of marbles,
and they are afterward sorted according
to size and painted by hand. The crock.
erv marbles, or potteries, arc nodded OF
the same material as ordinary earthen-
ware. and are then glazed and baken.
The glass marbles containing images
and flowers are nodded.

Army Marriages.

General Miles, as commanding gen.
eral of the army, has just been called
upon to decide on somewhat delicate
question in which military discipline
was mixed up with moral and senti-
mental considerations. AS is well
known, the army authorities regard a
soldier mcrried as soldier marred, es-
pecially if the soldier is private, and
commanding officers have often gone so
far as to refuse permission to wed to
the men under them. Recently a chap
lain out at Fort Assiniboin, in Mon
tana, Joined in the bonds of matrimony
a private stationed there and young
woman who was working as a domestic
servant for the family of one Of the Off
GERS. No permission for the wedding
had been granted, and none had been
asked. Next day the post commander
reprimanded the chaplain severely, de-
claring that his act was unauthorized
and improper. The chaplain resented
this and appealed to the adjutant gen.
eral, from whom the case went to Gen
eral Miles for final action. In rendering
his decision General Miles says: 1.-The
course of the chaplain appears to be
fully warranted by law and regulations.
While tho objection to soldiers marry
ing is well recognized it is not prohib-
tied by law or regulations, and the mil
itary authorities are not, therefore, war
ranted in intervening New York
Times.

Heat Photographs.

The invisible radiations from n heated
body possess the power of effecting GER
tain chemical decomposition much after
the manner of lights, as, for instance,
in photography. Among the substances
sensitive TO weak radiations OF heat may
be mentioned paper saturated with Gu
pric bromide, or a mixture OF sulphate
of copper and potassium bromide, which
has faint greenish tint that becomes
olive brown in radiant heat, and, IL
green is used, brown image can be OBJ
tanned in a minute by exposing to the
radiations from gas stove, and on
treatment with silver nitrate this image
becomes black by reason of the reduction
of the silver. Bichromated paper is at
fected by radiant heat, as by light, and
paper impregnated simply with sulphate
of copper yields feeble image, which
becomes nearly black when treated with
silver nitrate. A mixture of sulphate OF
copper and oxalic acid gives paper
which becomes brown on exposure.
Chlorate of copper is also very sensitive,
the faint blue color becoming deep
green. Similarly used bromide OF tin
behaves as if exposed to light, but unex-
posed parts become very black when
treated with silver nitrate. Nitrate OF
silver, which is markedly acted upon by
light, is slightly Drowned when exposed
to heat radiation, and the tint is deep
ened by hydroquinone or gallo acid

FIRE ALARM BOXES.
The Mechanism That Summons Help In
Case of Fire.

The Mechanism That Summons Help In
Case of Fire.
Charles T. Hill contributes an article
entitled "An Alarm Of Fire by Tele-
graph" to st. Nicholas, describing the
fire alarm system of New York. Con-
corning the fire alarm boxes Mr. Hill
writes: This box forms part of lamp
post, the post being so constructed that
the box is inserted in the middle. The
box is painted bright red, and the
lamp at night shows red light, thus
making it easily discernible either by
day or night. The wires from the box
are conveyed down through the center
of the post to conduits buried in the
street and thence on to fire headquarters
White letters on red pane of glass,
in the lamp over the box, give directions
how to send an alarm. The same direc-
tions in raised letters are found on the
face of the box. If we turn the large
brass handle on the outside as far as it
will 60, loud gong will ring inside.
This is not the alarm, but simply a
warning bell to notify the policeman on
the beat that the box is being opened
and to prevent the sending in of mali
cious or false alarms of fire, an offense
that is punishable i'll New York state
by fine of 500 and one years impri5-
onment. Turning this handle as far as
! il will go opens the outer door, and we
hnd inside another door, with a slot at
the left hand side, and at the top of this
slot hook projecting. BY pulling down
this hook once and releasing it we set
at work certain clockwork mechanism
inside, and this sends in the alarm.
When the first officer arriving at a
fire discovers that it is of enough i'm
portance to warrant his sending for re-
endorsements, he opens this inner door
and with the Morse key sends in Sec
ond third, fourth, fifth or sixth alarm,
as the case may be, or call for any
special apparatus that he may need.
The inspectors of boxes can also carry
OH conversation in the Morse alphabet
with the operator at headquarters Oh

On this old lawn, where lost hours pass
Across the shadows dark with dew,
Where autumn ON the thick sweet grass

Brcathes secrets TO tho silent air,
Happy Is he whose lingering feet
May wander lonely there.

And other destinies than ours.

Still, noiseless. walk beside our feet,
Poor ghosts, who found this garden dear
And found the morning sweet.

Here Is the immortal thorny rose
That may in no new garden grow
Its root is in the hearts of those

A SCENE IN LONDON.
Picturesque Description of Trafalgar
Square by the Artist, G. ID. Gibson.

Pf'etc W WV <hfsso,, Cs - osb''A.s
The bewildering scene always reminds
me of the art student once saw paint
ing it from the steps Of the gallery, and
/ thought then that if the actors on the
great stage in front of her could have
seen the hopeless condition of her can
vas and her pale, worried face they
might have stood still for awhile. But
the panorama has never stopped and
the only quiet figures in Trafalgar
square are its bronze statues There you
will see country boys looking with adj
miring envy at the smart uniforms OF
the soldiers and with terror at the dingy
army of sandwich men shutting through
the gutter, carrying advertisements OF
hot and cold luncheons, Turkish baths
manicure parlors and places Of amuse-
ment, serving at the same time as awful
examples of what will happen to all
those who do not take the sergeant's adj
vice and become soldiers.
Even some of the street beggars are
familiar. The cold rat man" and his
pets find Brighton too dull in the winter
and come up to London for the season,
| to mix once more in its streets, where
| all kinds Of horses are driven by as
great variety of men, from the ped
der to the powdered wigged coachman.
| Cable cars and trolleys would be sadly
out of place in London, and horseless
carriages would be calamity. There
should be no need TO go faster than a
horse can trot, and the best way OF all
is to walk, for then you can enjoy shop
windows and look into the faces of the
passersby and speculate on who they
are. You can 60 at your own speed and
cross the street as often as you wish, or
stand on bridge while scows drift
slowly under you and the embankment,
with all its lights, and ST. Paul's in
the distance sink into the smoke and
darkness like the dissolving views of a
lecturer on travel. London as Seen
