Perhaps the only Sunday school ever
conducted by wire is that of the First
Methodist church at Wichita, Kan. The
superintendent of the school, who for
more than 20 years has not missed
single Sunday, was recently injured in
runaway accident, so that he was
confined to his bed. He had his friends
secure several megaphones (instru-
ments for magnifying sound) and at
tached them to telephones in the
church auditorium. He then had his
own telephone extended to his bed, and
was thus enabled to conduct the serv-
ices as well as II he were with the
school, the children being able to hear
his voice, thanks to the megaphones,
and he hearing just as easily every
thing that was said in the church. This
unique method of holding the Sunday
school was continued until the superin-
tenedent was able to attend in person.

Falling walls mt Fires.

There are several kinds of falling
walls, and the fireman of expert
ence knows them well, and what to ex-
poet from each. There is one kind that
breaks first at the bottom and comes
down almost straight, somewhat like a
curtain. This makes big noise, but
is not very much to be dreaded. Then
there is another that bulges or buckles"
in the middle at first, and makes a sort
of curve as It descends. This Is a little
more serious than the first, and has
caused many fatalities. Then there is
the one that breaks at the bottom and
comes straight out, reaching clear
across the street, and remaining almost
solid until IL strikes, and. as an old fire.
man once remarked: That's the kind
you want to dodge" This kind of fall
ing wall" has caused more of the deaths
in the department than any other
danger the fremen have to contend
with. It has killed horses as well rs
men. and destroyed apparatus; and II
Is so rapid in its descent. and covers &c
much space, that to escape IL the men
have to be quick, indeed.--Char T,

GAN MOVE ANYTHING.
Marvellous Fcats OF the Modern
Methods of Pushing.


Methods of Pushing.
There are certain men working quiet
" in various parts Of the United States
who could IL they chose to do 1t, move
the Pyramids, pick up the Egyptian
obelisks, or lift modern skyscraper
from its caisson bed and carry it across
the street. There are not many such
men, yet few, If any, pondcrous objects
exist in the world which they will not
attempt to move intact for considera-
ton. In the directory these men are
called house movers. but they are en-
titled to a designation of far greater
dignity, for some of their achievements
are numbered among the great engineer
ing feats of the world. Within the past
few months the house movers have ex-
perienced an unwonted activity. Some
really creditable and in some cases stu
pendous feats have been performed.
The moving of Lowering hall ut Johns
Hopkins university was one of these
feats, the moving of an upper New York
house 16 blocks along the public high
way was another, and the very recent
moving and resetting of a tall smoke
stack at Manhanset was third.
One of these, house movers declares
that enere is no building, however
heavy, however bulky, which cannot be
lifted from its foundations and con-
veyed any distance. This means. of
course, without any damage to the
building itself; that the very ornaments
on the mantel pieces, the bric-a-brac in
the cabinets will in no way be disturbed,
that the window glass will not be even
cracked. that the home life Of the fam
lily occupying the moving house will be
| undisturbed. Such Is absolutely the
fact. 1t is not necessary for the occu-
pants of the building to temporarily
change their quarters; to take the cas-
tors off the bedsteads, nor to pack up
all the perishable articles in the house.
1t is on record that an old tall clock
which was in house which was moved
in Westchester county, n. Y, never
stopped running all during the
progress of removal. On the other
| hand there seems to be no limit to the
movers capabilities as far as weight Is
concerned. The Brighton Beach hotel,
Wnlcn was piaceo on lou Hat cars anu
moved GOO feet, weighed 5000 tons. The
weight of the recently moved railroad
station at Mott Haven, n. Y, is 1,7oO
tons. This building was composed en-
tjrely of brick and stone and the weight
] is very unequally distributed, a central
tower alone weighing 500 tons. To be
frank, these feats take all of the won.
derment out of the raising of the pyra.
mids and obelisks, inasmuch as the most
primitive tools are used by the engi'
neers.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

osLloINo THE GAR.
How High English Omciais violated
the Law of Their Country.

the Law of Their Country.
Englishmen have recently learned
with angry surprise that at the re-
quest of q monarch, for whom they
feel something the reverse OF affection'
the foreign Office and treasury ofnciais
entered three years ago into success
full conspiracy TO violate the law which,
of all on the English statute books, was
supposed to be the most like those OF inc
Nedes and Persians. When the father
ot the present Russian emperor died,
there was on deposit to his credit IN the
Bank of England cash and oonds
amounting to considerably over 81 ,ooo'-
600. This, of course, like the personal
estate of every Englishman, and OF
every foreigner with property in Eng
land, was subject to heavy deatn
duty. The young car had natural
disinclination for contributing to the
revenue of foreign country, SO ms
representative in London was directed
to ascertain il there was not some way
OF escaping the tax.
An appeal to the comptroller OF leg
acy and succession duties ELECTED the
opinion that the money would have to
be paid, but this was accompanied with
a promise to sec whether a precedent
for exemption could not be found. In
yestigation disclosed that in every pre-
yious instance of the kind, and they
were numerous, the tax had been col
lected to the last farthing. This was
discouraging. but, for reasons not
stated, the cabinet was determined to
grant the cars request, and so way
out of the difficulty was invented.
The Bank of England people init
mated to the treasury that they were
willing to hand the property over to the
new car, without requiring letters OF
| administration to be presented (the OBJ
tanning of which would have involved
the payment of the duty, provided the
treasury would take no exception 10
that course. Accordingly a written
communication was sent to the bank
stating that 80 far as the treasury
was concerned the bank was author
lied TO transfer to the present emperor
the property belonging to his late i'm
perial majesty" The money was there
upon released, the English taxpayers
lost the benefit of &c 10 shillings out OF
every 100 which the late car had or
deposit in England at the time of his
death, and the young car had beer
pleased at their expense.
The committee which has just beer
investigating this episode does not ex
press any opinion on the propriety o.
making a concession for the sake O.
what it calls international comfy. bu'
the report declares with some energy
that when the treasury decided to coun
tenance what was not only extra
statutory" but actually against tn,
law, and by executive act to dispens'
with payment TO the exchequer which
II had no power to remit. II should hav,
communicated the facts OF the case {,
the comptroller and auditor general
who could, If he thought necessary
have brought them under the notice o
parliament. No such communication
was made, and the whole affair wa
wrapped in secrecy, and now the ques
ton is whether anybody can be he'll
responsible for the amount of the duty

HARVESTING THE TIDES.
One Instance in which the Power
Has been Successfully Applied.


Has been Successfully Applied.
Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization of
the energy developed by the rise and
fall of the tides, but the intermittent
character of the power has usually pre-
vented any satisfactory solution of the
problem. There is, however, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in very SIM
pie manner. Along the river front at
Liverpool there is tendency for the
accumulation of silt against the dock
walls, requiring occasional dredging
for its removal. Instead of using scoop
dredges, this mud is removed at diff
ferent periods 10y the use of tide power
in the following manner: Along the
base of the dock wall is laid pipe, per-
forated with holes, directed outward,
this pipe being connected with the in
terror of the dock system, and suitable
valves being provided to permit or
check the flow of water. When the
tide is very low, and consequently the
head of water measured from the sur
face in the docks is at its greatest, a
sudden opening of the connection per-
mits a rapid flushing action by the
water escaping through the holes in the
pipe at the base of the walls, securing
out the mud and driving it out into
the river to be carried away. AS the
tides at Liverpool average about 25 feet
or more, it is evident that this simple
form of dredging apparatus may be
very effective, and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest, it does not
interfere with the regular use of the
docks. Ultimately, no doubt, the in
PRODUCTION of practical and economical
forms of power storage will render the
equalization of tide power commercial
ly practicable, but at the present time
this example serves to demonstrate the
fact that solar and lunar attraction
as expressed by the tides, have beer
harnessed in n small way at least

A ROSE-MAD TOWN.
Where the Houses Are Covered with
beautiful Dlossoms.

BeautffuI btOssOms.
Pasadena makes a speciality of roses,
and recently closed q two days festival
of roses. From first TO last il was n
magnificent proof of the extent to
which San Gabriel's gardens have been
devoted to the culture of the queen of
flowers. Nothing but roses were per
MISSILE, and the limitation seemed to
have not the slightest effect toward
the diminution of the decorations.
When the show was over the pretty
town was literally smothered in roses,
and under foot everywhere was q car
pet of crushed and broken buds and
blooms, while the air was heavy with
their fragrance. Pasadena introduced
another striking novelty in holding its
battle of roses at night under the glare
of the electric light. The parade of
the daytime was marvelously beauti-
full and gorgeous, but that at night left
| 1t far behind. The effect of the lights
on the moving masses of flowers was
enhancing in q degree impossible to
! describe.
For the two days of the carnival the
town was simply rose-mad. Houses
and store fronts, in and off the streets
where the professions moved, were
hidden by banks and festoons of the
richest flowers. Decorators lavished
the choicest varieties on the arches
spanning the main streets and on ropes
stretched from every vantage point
And yet, after it was all over, the visitor
would not have known, from looking
at the gardens, that there had been
any spoliation of their treasures
Bushes and clambering vines by near.
1y every fence and gateway and on the
house fronts were laden as heavily as
in any season. Pasadena had wasted
roses by the million and did not feel
the loss.-N. Y. Times.
