The Raponda Hotel. a fashionable sum
mer resort situated at Raponda Lake, three
miles from the village of Wilmington, Vt,
was totally destroyed with its contents by
fire recently. The Raponda was built about
seven yearsago by a stock company at a cost
of $50, 000 Its present valuation was about
$4,000. 1t was owned by G. d. Spencer
and f. +. Wheeler of Wilmington. 1t had a
capacity of from so to l04 guests. The origin
of the fire is a mystery, as the hotel had
been unoccupied since the close of the sum
mer season. There was an insurance of
$1,000 on the hotel and $3.50 on the con-
tents.
The final action on the part of the people

Advocates Perforated sails.

According 20 a writer IN the treueh
paper. la Nature, the sails Of vessels
should he perforated. "In the ordl-
nary system, he says, ''ihe wind rushes
against the coucaye surface that Is
opposed 10 it; the Gu rents oil ar
bound back aud hinder the iuli
action OF the currents that follow:
Thus a counter-pressure Is set mp, and
the work Of the wind is only that due
to the difference between Its initial
pressure and counter-pressure thus pro-
duced. To increase effective work, this
counter pr assure must be reduced to
a minimum, that Is TO say, a means
of escape must be given TO the air that
accumulates In the sail. The aperture
solves the question" This is about as
incomprehensible As anything that
was ever put in print. Practical ex-
periments have been made that seemed
to snow gain of speed as the result
of holes made in certain parts of a
sail, but the explanation of the phen-
omenOn is little better than absurd. -

LArge Block Of GrNnitc.

Recentlya block of granite weighing
1.2l7 tons was used as the pedestal of
the equestrian statue of Peter the
Great Of ST. Petersburg, having been
transported miles by land over IA
railway and - miles in n caisson 10y
water. The railway consisted of two
lines of timber furnished with
hard metal grooves, between
which grooves were placed spheres
of hard brass about six inches in diam
eter. On these spheres the frame,
with its load, was easily moved by 60
men working Mt the capstans with
treble purchasing blocks. Another
large block, measuring 30 by l6 by Il
feet, was few months since taken out
at the Craigneth quarries, near Dial
beattie, Scotland. Its weight was es-
timated at $50 tons.

The Wrong Title.

A funny story about Lord Caring
ton is now going the rounds of the
London papers. 1t Is to the effect
that, at recent "drawing-rOom" held
by the queen, he, in announcing the
names OF the ladies' presented, accord
ing to his duty as lord chamberlain,
got "mixed, aud announceda certain
Mrs. NJ. as "Ludy NJ" Thereupon
the queen bent forward 20 greet her
with kiss on the cheek that is always
given to wives and daughters of peers.
As she bent, Lord Darlington found
out his mistake, turning extremely
pale, and gasped out: Don't kiss her
a'am-don't kiss her she's not a lady
at all.

Why Europeans Are Safe Among Turks

The explanation of the safety of
Europeans among these fellows, even
where the police were absent is prob
ably to be found in the tentative
character OF the Turks violations of
right and of law. In doing what is
wrong he always begins an abject
coward, gaining courage with i'm
punity. The mere fact that the
European would walk straight
through a crowd of the bludgeonmen,
jostling against them in IN uncon-
cerned manner, convinced them that
for some reason he was not safe man
TO attack. In some cases Armeninns
walked safely through the mobs on the
street, simply by pushing their way
with determined air. In every case
where an Armenian ran from them, or
even hesitated on meeting them, his
only chance of life was gone. The
tentative character of Turkish agrees
sions is not sufficiently borne in mind.
At the beginning of Il wrong, even n
Sultan will draw back when he sees
that his course is resented by one
whom he knows to have the right, and
believes to have the force to do So

Brianettes From Cnlm nenns.

Briquette making has become quite
an industry in Germany, Austria aud
France, where the fuel question is
much more important than 1t is in this
country; and culm piles are being
carefully utilized in those countries
and made a profitable source of in
come. In one process of manufacture
petroleum or mineral tar Is used only
Tor enrichinG culIn aud other infe-
rior, formerly worthless, combustibes.
When briquettes are formed from this
material, the heating power Is 30 per-
cent higher than that of good coal.
A mixture is first prepared, consist
ing of petroleum or bituminous
shale tar, oleine and soda, in
suitable proportions, and by this
means the culm, slack or coal
dust is cemented together. Three
kinds of briquettes are produced in this
way, namely: Industrial briquettes for
general firing purposes, gas briquettes
for the manufacture OF illuminating
gas, and metallurgical coke. If culm
or dust from good coal, valued at
Sl2O, would DE taken for the produc-
ton of briquettes, e per cent of the
mixture would lie sufficient. The
price per ton OF briquettes would then
be us follows: 1,S00 pounds of coal
dust, at 81. % ;120 pounds of mixture,
at So per ton, or ~ cents; cost of
labor, 40 cents; or total cost per
ton of 81, %. Fifteen hundred pounds
of briquettes would be equal in heating
value to II ton of coal. Mining and

The Tiger as n Swimmer.

As far as is known to naturalists, the
tiger is the only member OF the cat
family that without hesitation will
take to the water and swim long dis
tances. Whether the water be fresh
or salt seems to make no difference.
Whenever in his wanderlngs stream
or estuary lies in his way, the tiger
wastes little time IN hunting for the
shortest route of crossing, but plunges
in ut once, regardless of sharks or
crocOdiles, which, unless he be wound
ed or bleeding, are usually willing to
give him unmolested passage. Unless
the stretch OF water is of considerable
width, he swims onward to the oppo-
site shore, shaping his course IN the
same direction he was following bee
fore coming to the bank. OF the
Malay Peninsula tigers sometimes
swim from the mainland to the island
OF Singapore.
Sedgy places by water pools are ia
vorite haunts of the tiger, the PUSHES
aflordlng him conccalment in which to
wait for the forest creatures which
come to the pools to drink. For a
similar reason he prows the shores
of lakes and rivers, and often chooses
as an abode and lurking place the vi
cinity of an old water tank, as the mud
or stone walled reservoirs built by the
Indian natives to collect and store
rain water are called. If in springing
upon his prey he miss, and the deer
or buffalo rushes into the water, the
tiger leaps after, and, graphing,
fetches it to the shore. ii the victims
struggles i'll the water are violent, he
ends them by breaking its neck with
his teeth before bringing 1t to the

TWO EDICTS BY WEYLER.
They Are Designed to Embarrass the
Cause of the Insurgents.

HAVANA, Cuba Jan. 1.-Two edicts have
been issued by Gen. Weyler from his camp at
Bayete. One of them prohibits the storage
or sale of hardware, saddlery, clothing;
provisions, or medicines IN untortliled
towns. absolutely prohibits the removal of
such goods from the towns in the provinces
Of Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas
without military permit, and orders all
stores in unprotected villages and hamlets
closed.
This applies also to stores in unfortifled
sugar estates in Santa Clara, Puerto Prln-
cipe and Santiago de Cuba, and persons who
violate the edict will be considered rebel
sympathizers and tried and condemned as
sIch. The other edict orders the formation
of zones of cultivation around the towns.
