The trials of alleged Cuban fllibus-
ters that have Occurred from time to
aime in various courts of the United
States form, in their strict adherence
to the letter of the law, an amusing
contrast with the trials of Cretan fiji,
busters that have lately taken place
an Athens. According to the Hestia
of that city, five officers of the Greek
army were recently arrGigned before
the military tribunal charged with
aiding flibustering expeditions des-
tined for Crete, one of the officers
Second Lieutenant Kalomenopoulo,
was also charged with deserving in
order to serve against the Turks in the
island. The Acknowledgement de-
mOnded that the prisoners be found
guilty in accord with the evidence
given; but the court without rising
rendered the opposite verdict, and
thereby established a remarkable pre-.
cedent, the spirit of which seems to
be that it is patriotic in Greek to
fight for Crete, and that patriotism
may disregard all law and discipline.

A Natural Telephone Line.

'grhere Is q natural telephone line In
the Black Hills" said c. ID. Bishop, Of
Rapid City, S. D., ut the National. ''The
line runs between two mountains in the
Black Hills range, northwest Of Rapid
City. On each side Of the valley,
twelve miles in width, stand two high
peaks. which tower above the other
mountains and have long been known
as landmarks. These mountains are
several thousand feet high, and have
rarely been scaled, so but little is
known Of their topography. But some
weeks ago a party Of tourists decided
to make the ascent, and they divided
into two parties. one for each peak,
taking photographs with them for the
purpose of signaling to each other
across the valley. The ascent was
made and one OF the party on the north
mountain was surprised to hear voices,
which apparently came out Of the air.
He moved his position, and the sound
was no longer heard. BY changing his
position several times be discovered
that the voices were those of his
friends on the other mountain. He
called the attention OF the others to the
phenomena, and when the attention Of
the opposite party had been attracted
it was found that an ordinary CONVEX
sation in an ordinary tone Of voice was
plainly heard from one mountain top
to the other. There was only one place
on the mountain where it could be
heard, and this appeared to form nat
ural telephone. Scientists say that the
cause is to be found in the form Of the
mountains, which serve as elliptical re-
Electors of sound, the speakers being
situated in the face at the ends Of the
ellipse, and in the low density OF the
atmosphere at the altitude at which the
phenomena Occurs."-Washington Star

BeerbOhm Tree, the English actor,
has evolved an ingenious theory to ex.
plain why it is that heavy tragedy has
almost disappeared from the stage, ard
even light comedy is not too success
full with the variety show" says the
New York Times. 1t is, he suggests,
merely a matter of the dinner hour
and digestion. When people ate their
principal meal at midday, they could
go to the theatre several hours later
with their stomachs at rest and their
brains demanding employment Now
passing directly from the dining table
to the playhouse, they instinctively
shan anything provocative of mental
eKertiOn. "What is tragody2" asks
Mr.. Tree, and answers: can empty
stomach. What is comedy? A full
one"

Natures Cold Storage House.

In the valley OF the Plethora River,
which flows from the Ural Mountains
into the Arctic Ocean, near Nova Fem
bla, there is a state of things which Is
attracting the attention OF Daturalists,
and Is only one more example Of how
judiciously nature does her work when
her primitive conditions are observed.
This valley has a sturdy growth Of
crOwberries, clOudberries, eNnberrieS,
any number OF small fruit-bearlng
some OF which bear seeds and fruit in
great prOfusiOn. An eminent OrnitSOl-
Ogist, in the course Of his researches in
this locality, stopped for little time.
with these grOwths. The Arctic sum-
MGR has a perpetual sun, and the in
dIgenous plants and trees grow and de-
velOp with great rapidity. The sum
mer comes suddenly, and with it in
Vulnerable birds Of all varieties; but
they come TO what seems n barren
waste for there is nothing visible but
snow and ice. Within twenty-four
hours, however, this frOst-bound region
changes it's appearance; the snow dis.
solves, the ice melts away, and natures
bounty stands revealed. The autumn
SHOWS fall here and cover the plants
with their loads Of fruit, keeping 1t ii
the most perfect condition until the
sprlngtime, when it furnishes food fol
the millions of birds that make thii
their summer home.

LONGEST RAILROAD RUN.
The Cornwall Express from London to
Exeter Goes 1914 Miles without Stop.

The longest regular daily run made
without stop by any railway train in
the world has just been placed on the
schedule of the Great Western Rail-
way, of England.
1t is made between Paddington Sta
tion, in London, and Exeter dis
tance of 1874 miles, in three hours and
thirty-six minutes, by what is known
as the Cornwall express. 1t is remark
able not so much owing to the time as
for the fact that not a stop is made
from one end of the run to the other.
There have been longer runs made
without a stop, but they have been
made by special and not regular trains.
The average speed attained by the
Cornwall express when making this
run is 53.S miles an hour, although,
owing to a peculiar construction of the
road at Bristol, 11S miles from Lon
don, the train is obliged to slow down
to a speed of ten miles an hour.
The express train is composed of six
long coaches, a tender and engine. An
American would call it vestibule
| train, but the English prefer to call
| the cars "boge clerestored corridor
! coaches" bogie being a term applied
to the trucks. They are fully as heavy
as an ordinary drawing room car, each
| one weighing about forty-seven thou
| sand pounds, while the train without
engine and tender weighs one hundred
and forty tons. The weight Of the en-
| gine and tender is eighty-one tons,
making the total weight of the train
as it rushes along on its long run two
| hundred and twenty-one tons.
During the run it is necessary to
| take water for the engine twice. This,
| however, does not necessitate any stop,
as it is taken up from a trench beside
| the track as the train speeds along at
nearly a mile minute.
The engine which draws this essen
TALLY through train" is a curious
looking, ponderous affair quite unlike
any locomotive seen on American
roads. 1t has on either side a single
| huge driving wheel seven feet eight
inches in diameter. while what must
| by comparison be termed the small
wheels of the engine, six in number,
known as trailers, are four feet six
| inches in diameter.
The water tank of the engine holds
thirteen thousand gallons, and when
running at full speed there is a steam
pressure of 100 pounds to the square
inch, while there is a heating surface
of 1861 square feet.
Each day the run is made. the train
leaving Paddington Station at 1925
o'clock in the morning, and it never
fails to roll into st. David's station, In
Exeter, exactly on time. The time al
lowed by the schedule on this run
makes no allowance for delays of any
kind. Even the time lost in going over
the loop around Bristol and the neces-
sary slowing down when going through
Bath is not allowed for.

THE MARKETS.


New York, Aug. 1S--High water mark
for the season was reached In the wheat
market today, not only on values but as
to the volume of transactions as well.
Prices advanced 4A to cents for the day
and sales reached the big lot OF 1G,3l5,VOO
bushels. Excitement prevailed In the mar
ket from start to finish. but particularly
in the last hour when the advances be-
came so rapid that frequently the luc-
tuations were marked by 4 cent fractions
instead of the n and lie changes that
are ordinarily seen. The total range on
September was 9lh to 94ss cents against
S9Ss cents, the lowest price Of yesterday.
The greater part Of today's proceedings
on the floor of the Stock exchange con-
sisted of a kind of fencing for position or
to develop the position of opposing ele-
ments. The buMs were not In an aggres-
sive mood and there was not at any time
during the day an active buying demand.
Total sales were 335,00S shares.

A WASTED SCOOP.
His Story Would Have Been Hum
mer Rut for Influential Reasons.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Hardest piece of reporting I ever
did" sighed the old newspaper man,
never got into print 1t doesn't re-
quire much to put a keen reporter on
the scent. n careless remark made in
my hearing suggested that wealthy
corporation had suffered heavily
through emheZZlement. ] went to the
president of the institution with the
pretcnse Cf good deal more informa-
tion than l possessed. He not only
denied everything but made the too
common mistake of abusing reporters
in general and me in particular. Such
treatment tends to produce pernicious
activity on the part of the abused.
"A little later ! overheard a rapid
friend of the presidents son expressing
surprise that he Slould have left the
city so suddenly and in such a hurry.
Il was the opinion of the rakish friend
that there must be a big lark on hand.
This put a conviction into my head,
and these intuitive convictions often
lead up to great news.
THAT evening, through a gracious
request of the city editor, / was driven
10 the palatial residence of the presi-
dent. There was an evening party on
and when a spirit like unto that of the
immortal six hundred had carried me
past the imposing individual at the
door, / gaZed upon a vision of fair wo-
men who were only fashonably chary
Of their fairness, and men more or less
brave. The handsome old president, a
born buffer clustered into the hall
and was rapidly arranging for my exit
upon the boot toe of a plebian function
airy, when began in a loud voice to tell
what l didn't know about the son. He
fairly dragged me up stairs and there
finished the whole disgraceful story
with q well-baclIed request that 1 sup
press IT. / referred him to the city edi
tor and hurried to the office where l
wrote a beat that was a hummer
Il heard coupe after coupe drive to
the front of the office In the wee
hours stockholders appeared on the
scene. The child of my enterprise and
genius was strangled. Perhaps it was
best"

MY wife to have ALL"
WILLS IN RHYME.
Many wills in rhyme have been re-
corded and the provisions duly carried
out, some of them very elaborate and
others consisting of a single couplet.
In 1903 will was contested and con-
firmed which read:
give and bequeath,
When I'm laid underneath,
To my two loving sisters most dear.
The whole of my store,
Were It twice as much more,
Which Gods goodness has given me here.
And that none may prevent
This my will ard intent,
Or occasion the least of law racket,
With a solemn appeal
/ confirm, sign and seal
This the true act and deed of VIII Hack
EFT.
Another which was produced by q
Philadelphia attorney of no mean repu-
tation ran thus:
AS to all my worldly goods now, or to be,

/ give to my beloved wife and her for
evermore.
/ give all freely, l no limit fix
This is my will and she's executrix.

the leading novelties OF the season,
There are likewise fancy biouses for
very youthful Wearers, made OF SelieA
tartans and plain vivid reds Of many
different shades, but somewhat toned
In effect by their velvet trimming.
Narrow velvet ribbon stil occupies a
conspicuous position In the elaboration
OF many winter gowns, on imported
models for promenade wear, alternate
bands Of narrow fur and an equal
width in velvet ribbon form a rleh
gaTniture from the hem 10 the knees.
A smart little French jacket, made OF
Neapolitan blue ladies' cloth, is trim
med about the waist with arching rows
OF black velvet ribbons, put on TO sim

the very high collar and revers are Of
Persian patterned bToeatelle, closely
resembling shaded silk embroideries,
wrought upon a dark-red background.
These are bound with the blue cloth,
and oyerlaid with a row Of the marrow

celebrated, the six bridesmaids were at

OF the color selected. The etfect was
original and charming. The 1880 hats
worn were OF velvet. matching the
gowns, and were heaped with large full
ostrich plumes, that both lowered
above the crowns and dropped from the
brims. The brides dress OF ivory sat
in had a court train OF white satin bro
cade and the lace veil was arranged
mantIlla fashion, the brides tresses
being dressed very high, after the man
ner OF Spanish women, a superb dia-
mond-set comb holding the coil Of
wavy raven hair in place. The brides
travelling dress was made OF otter
brown ladies' cloth. trimmed with very
elaborate designs in silk soutache.
Belted blouses, with low square necks
are noted on toilets imported for even
ing wear next season. These have
three-quarter length mousquetaire
sleeves, with frills as a finish. II pre-
