The Toposcope.A

In the loftiest tower II the city of
Vienna there is a novel instrument,
known as the toposcope, constantly at
tended day and night, for the purpose of
locating fires. 1t consistsfof a good tele-
scope, which is solidly( ATTACHED to an
arrangement of levers, while graduated
sections of circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such way that
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in change of posi-
ton of the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus, the stability Of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the firmness of the fas-
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the same figures on the hori-
zontal and on the vertical sextant, and
since an index of the whole city has
been made it is but a matter of few
seconds, when glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-
scope on the side, to read off the num-
bers, to look up the object and to tele-
graph to the central station the details
observed. Local conditions are, of
course. necessary for the successful oper-
alton of such an apparatus, but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect.
The tower is over 500 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view of the great area of
the city is thus possible to the watch
man if the atmospheric conditions are
favorable.

HUMoR AND ITS USES.
1t Is the Sunshine of the World, but May
Be Overworked.

Be Overworked.
"Humor is the very sunshine of the
world, writes Carrie E. Garrett in
The Womans Home Companion.
Hardly any other single gift will go
SO far to refresh and inspire one in
everyday life and keep the heart still
young. 1t steals merrily across the
workaday world, anilnating the drear-
lest monotony and finding place in the
most hopeless destiny. Such gay trav-
cling companion is humor for the pill
grimage Of life.
The woman with sense of humor
has safeguard against ennui, against
folly and against despair. She can never
be dull SO long as the comedy of life is
being played before her eyes. With a
keen sense of the ridiculous she is not
likely to make a fool of herself, and
she will never be hopelessly unhappy,
for she will find in the most adverse
fate something still to laugh at, and
after all laughter is your true alchemist.
However it may be with the unmusical
person, surely the surly individual who
cannot laugh spontaneously ON occasions
is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils.
"But this blessed gift of humor should
be used to lift the shadows of life, not
to deepen them. A joke which causes
another a pang of humiliation or makes
some sensitive heartache is not only
cruel sort of amusement, but it is also
a very expensive indulgence. For just
moments qualification at having made
hit the funny woman may forever
lose a friend and may even arouse
very genuine spirit of enmity. We learn
to forgive and mayhap forget many
injuries in life's troubled journey. but
perhaps among the wounds that rankle
longest in the human heart are those
which are made only in fun. .

LINCOLN At GETTYSBURG.
Account of How He First Wrote His
Famous Speech.

Famous Speech.
Speaking of the dedication Of the ma
tional cemetery at Gettysburg and Mr..
Lincoln's famous address delivered on
that occasion, Nov. 10, 1868, Governor
Curtin began by saying that there had
been much discussion as to how and
when that address was written, and he
continued, says The Independent:
II can tell you all about that. OF
course was there, and the president
and his cabinet had arrived and were
at the hotel. Soon after his arrival, as
we were sitting around i'll the parlor,
Mr.. Lincoln looked thoughtful for
moment or two and then said: / be-
lieve, gentlemen, the committee are ex-
pecting me to say something here to-
day. If you will excuse me, will go
into this room here and prepare it.
After time he returned, holding in
his hand large, yellow government
envelope, on which he had written his
address.
Here, gentlemen, he said, 4 want
to read this to you to see if it will do.
And, sitting down, he read it to us and
then said: Now for your criticisms
Will it do? What do you say?'
"Several spoke in favor of it, and
one or two commended it in strong
terms. Well, says the president,
haven't you any criticisms? What do
you say, Seward?'
"Mr Seward made one or two sug-
gestions bearing on some slight verbal
changes, which 1 believe Mr.. Lincoln
incorporated.
Now, if you will allow me, gentle
men, continued the president, 4 will
copy this off. And he again withdrew
made copy of the address.
"Ah, continued the governor, ''if I
had had wit enough about me to have
begged of him that yellow envelope,
what trophy it would have beenl How
much it would have been worth to some
of the ladies' fairs which little later
began to be held to raise money for the
hospitals and the soldiers. But I did
not think of it then "

A PRIVATE AMBULANCE.
"Reminiscences of the Civil War Related
by an Old Soldier,

by an Old Soldier.
Among the men wounded in my
regiment at battle in Virginia, said
the old soldier, twas man in my COM
pany who was shot through the body
and taken to the rear. Our troops fell
back after the fight, and we had more
wounded than we had transportation
for, but two men out of his own tent
set out to carry this man wherever we
were going, which was presumably
the camp behind intrenchments that
we'd left in the morning.
"They took turns at backing him for
half mile or so until they came to
farmhouse that had a grassy yard in
front They laid him down ON the grass
and took little look around the house
to see what they could see. In build
ing at the rear they came across some
thing that made 'em stand still and
look at each other and laugh. 1t was
hand cart. What use the folks here had
made of it they couldn't guess, but they
knew what use they were going to make
of it. They got it out of the building
and rolled it around the side of the
house alongside the wounded man and
dropped the handle ON the grass. He
laughed, too, when he saw it. He was
going the rest of the way in private
ambulance.
1.-THE two men took their blankets off
their shoulders and united them and
spread their rubbers down on the bot
tom of the hand cart and spread their
wooden blankets down ON them, and
then they ran the hand cart up and rest
ed the handle on the front steps of the
house and lifted in the wounded man
and laid their guns in beside him. Then
they turned the cart around again, and
one man got inside the shafts, with the
crosspiece against his waist belt, and
the other man got behind to push. They
all smiled again when they started,
wounded man and all.

Hurt No One and No One Hurt Him.


At the battle of Chickamauga l saw
a fellow shooting straight up in the air
and praying as Justify as ever one of
Cromwell's roundheads prayed.
The Presbyterians of 1916 prayed
loud and sang hymns in battle, but they
shot straight at the cavaliers every
time. This fellow was blazing away at
the sky, and when Lieutenant Killing
worth demonstrated with him about it
he paid no attention to him whatever.
Captain Joe Billingsley threatened to
cut him down with his sword if he
didn't shoot at the enemy, for the woods
in front were full of them. He merely
remarked to the captain, "You can kill
me if you want to, but am not going
to appear before my God with the blood
of my fellow man on my soul "

up, exposed to every volley of the enc

PROMOTED EoRA ALLANTRY.
New York Pollcen Rewarded For
Catching lrglar.

A New York Policen Rewarded For
Catching a lrglar.
Hon. Theodore Rd byelt writes an
article entitled The pll Of Honor Of
the New York Police Tor The Century
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Early in our term e promoted pa
trolman to the gradeof roundsman for
activity i'll catching burglar under
rather peculiar circN mstances. hap
pened to note his getN ing burglar one
week. Apparently he, had fallen into
the habit, for he got another the next
week. In the latter case the burglar es-
capped from the houE soon after mid
night and ran awayfcward Park ave-
nue., with the policehals in hot chase.
The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue, and there is a
succession Of openings in the top of the
tunnel. Finding that the policeman
was gaining on him, Che burglar took a
desperate chance and leaped down one
of these openings at ahe risk of break
ing his neck. Nova the burglar was
running for his libert and it was the
part of wisdom for b p to imperil life
or limb, but the policeman was merely
doing his duty, and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump
However, he jumped, and in this par
ticular case the hand of the Lord was
heavy upon the unrigbteous. The bur-
glar had the breath KIN ked out of him,
and the coop didn't. EWhen his victim
could walk, the offi%e r trotted him
around to the station house, and week
I afterward he himself was promoted, it
appearing upon careful investigation
that he was sober, trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty.
Here again it seems to me that we
followed the eminentgy common sense
plan of promoting man who had earn
ed his promotion by faithful and dis
tinguished service and by proved supe-
rior capacity. We cared no more for
the policeman views on the tariff or
the currency than we did for those of
the burglar Our interest and the inter
est of citizens generallylwas to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do his duty. If he did his duty, we
were for him; IT he did not, we were
against him. In neither event did we
care whether the officer had or had not
the backing of the congressional delega-
ton of the city or the central committee
of the county. OF coursa, as before, this
exposed us to wild oufcries from the
local political bosses and heelers and
much sneering at civil service reform, :"
but all the outcries and sneers meant
was that we were doing our duty as de-
cent men and as public officials, with
some slight appreciation of what was
implied by the words honor and up
rightness. Political organizations are
eminently necessary and useful, but
when they are seized by1professional
spoils politicians of low orality, who
run the machine in their own inter
ests, who clamor against honesty and
defy decency and rail against that de-
vice for obtaining clean government
which is known as civil service reform,
then it is time for all citizens who
believe in good citizenship to rise in re-
volt.
