The unusual sight of horse coming
through town at breakneck pace
upon three legs was witnessed by the
people upon Saginaw street at Flint,
Mich. The horse had run away and
demolished the vehicle to which it was
attached, broke its hind leg at the
knee, but still continued in its mad
fight until it reached Saginaw street
where it ran into store and was
caught.
1t came very near running over q
couple of lady bicycle riders. The
beast was taken to Warmers livery
barn and bullet ended its suffering.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HARRIS,
Anecdotes of the Late United States Senn-
tor From Tennessee.


Everybody has an anecdote to tell
of Senator Harris. His peculiarities
were we'll known, and yet none of
them were considered as diminishing
the native integrity and detracting
from the picturesque attractiveness of
the dead Senator's character. He
was survivor of line of public men
for which Tennessee has been famous
Headers of the type of Andrew Jack
son, Felix Grundy and Andrew John
son-men cast in rugged mould, of
fierce passions when aroused by q
fancied sense of wrong or injustice,
but having certain qualities command
ing respect not due to mere physical
courage. Senator Harris had perhaps
as little use for newspaper men as any
man who ever sat in either House of
Congress. But his treatment of them
was uniform, and understood not to be
personal, and his language in declin-
ing to grant interviews was, withal, SO
interesting that it went far toward
contributing the element of news to q
refusal to impart information. To
those newspaper men who rarely
asked for news, and then did
80 quietly, he was uniformly pleasant.
Some of the stories about his lurid
profanity to correspondents are so we'll
based, however, that they are accept
ed as sufficient illustration of phases
of his manner. Possibly no public
man of the times has stood before the
public more the very man he was than
the sturdy, dogmatic, incisive Senator
whose funeral took place in the Senate
chamber recently. Of the many an
ecdotes related as characteristic of
him, one not heretofore in print, it is
believed, marks his determination
under all circumstances to have the
proper subordination observed of the
younger to the elder, of the inferior in
position to the superior. A page one
day inquired of him at his desk if the
Senate had decided to adjourn until -
o'clock the next day.
eyes," was the fierce reply, "and
Immediately after we adjourn to-day
we shall proceed to hang every imper-
tinent page on this foor!" The boy
retired with awe written on his coun-
tenauee and purpose to be less free
with Senators in future.
Sometimes Mr.. Harris's rebukes
were too severe, but more frequently
they were deserved. His sense of
personal dignity was equal to his inde-
pendence of speech and action. Once
or twice in his Senatorial career he
was on the verge of inflicting personal
chastisement beyond the mere use of
his exceedingly sharp tongue. But
it can be truthfully said that he had
the profound respect of his colleagues
on both sides of the Chamber for his
manliness, his intelligence and his
special knowledge of parliamentary
law and usages.-New York Tribune.

First Transatlantic Liners,

Although Robert Fulton's Clermont,
which began running on the Hudson
in 1907, was the pioneer steamship of
the world, and American enterprise
also sent the little Savannah across
the ocean in 1919, the first regular
transatlantic line of steamships was
British. The Cunarders began to run
in 1910. Five years later Sir 1. X.
Brunei launched the first big iron
steamship, and fitted her out with the
first screw propeller ever used on an
ocean liner, although Ericsson had en-
ployed that means of propulsion for a
Thames towboat in 1897.

LARGEST OF GLOBES,
Remarkable Representation of the
Earth's Surface.


George G. Schneider, of Lincoln,
ILL.,, is now completing what he says is
the largest geographical globe in the
world.
Graduated from German univer-
sites, Mr.. Schneider is not only an
expert map maker, bat is an authority
on geography. A little more than
three years ago he conceived the idea
of building globe which would sur
pass all other globes not only in size,
but in accuracy and detail. He had
made several spheres similar in size
and detail to the ordinary school
globes. but he wished to outdo his own
efforts as well as those of others.
Being of mechanical turn of mind,
Schneider prepared his plans for the
monster sphere with care, and has
systematically put them into operation.
The first step was to build the frame
of the globe. This consisted of
skeleton of cast iron rods radiating
from a steel pipe, which forms the
axis; the pipe was perforated and the
rods were received into it, being care
fully graduated in length. Then
common telegraph wire was used, a
network being woven oven the ends of
the rods. A rigid and fairly smooth
surface having been thus formed, he
covered the wire network with several
layers of stout building paper, glue
ing each sheet smoothly to the surface.
Then the globe was grayish-black
sphere five feet in diameter, the exact
shape of the earth. being slightly fiat
tened at the poles. 1t was ready for
Mr.. Schneider to begin work upon.
Not much time was required to lay
on the integument of the great mass.
The preparation used is of Mr.
Schreiber's devising. He has used
wood pulp and papier mache, but
neither was satisfactory. After years
of experimenting he invented COM
position which serves the purpose bet
ter than anything yet discovered.
Sawdust sifted in through cheese cloth
until it is as fine as flour is mixed with
the cheapest grade of varnish known
to the trade, and the outer covering is
ready. Schneider covered the big
inch deep of this material.
Two or three weeks time was re.
quired to dry the surface thoroughly,
and then the real work commenced.
First he marked off the degrees OF
latitude and longitude with mathe.
matical accuracy, then laid off the en-.
tire surface of the globe in half-inch
squares, half an inch on the globe be.
ing equivalent to degree of latitude.
His work then proceeded systemati.
cally, and for the past three years he
has spent eight hours daily preparing
this map of the world.
The maps are in relief, every ocean,
lake and river being carved out of the
surface. All lines or names are en-.
graved on the surface with sharp
pointed tools, and then filed with
paint, which imparts pleasing effect
and also allows more delicate minute.
