FOX AMONG CHIMNEY POTS.
mas Spent Her Life on the Roof of
Hotel,


High up on the roof of the Boston
tavern, hundred feet or more from
the pavement, lives a little gray fox
that has spent nearly her whole life
with the smoke of the chimneys blow
ing about her and the roar from the
streets of the city filling her ears day
and night, says the Boston Transcript.
Taken as cub from her native woods
OF Maine, she has grown up with the
slated roof of the tavern as her world.
and with Tom. the porter, who takes
care of her, as her only companion.
Originally there were two of the
cubs. They were taken by gentle
man who was on fishing expedition
on the Bonnie river last June, and sent
as present to one of the guests of the
MOTEL, who, not caring about keeping
thern, gave them to Mr.. Clark, the pro-
prietor of the tavern. Mr.. Clark had
place made for them on the roof,
where there is plenty of room to run
about, but short time after they
came one Of them became frightened,
Jumped from the parapet, and was
Killed. The other, taking warning by
the fate of her comrade. was more
careful, and has gradually become
moderately tame She will eat from
hand of the porter, and when he Is
alone Will come to him when she is
called, although she will not allow him
to handle her at all. The moment any
strangers appear on the roof. however,
she is off to the farthest corner. and
VIII keep the whole width of the roof
between herself and them as long as
they remain in sight
Her lot is not an unpleasant one for
an animal in captivity, for she has the
whole roof to range over and is seldom
disturbed. The roof has only slight
slope; it is a smooth. slated surface,
surrounded by high parapet, and
broken by numerous chimneys and by
the light-well and skylights, which rise
In the center Of it. The fox has the
run of the whole of 1t. and explores
every part. people in the nearby build
ings being sometimes startled by the
sight of fox running about the roof
OF hotel in the heart of the city. In
one corner she has box filled with
earth, where she crawls when she
wants to go to sleep, scooping out
round hole with her paws.

pxrmni. Of pruc,,cn, sciences.

French scientific journals contain
accounts of the surprising achieve
ments of the inhabitants of the com
mune of Monceau-surOise. not fhr
from Paris. There. in little village
of only $50 inhabitants, the streets are
lighted by electricity, electric lights
are to be found in the church, in all
the houses, and even in the stables;
and the fnrm-buildings in the neigh
borhood of the village are illuminated
in the same manner. More than this,
the commune possesses a large thresh-
ing-machine driven by electric power
and capable of threshing 900 sheaves OF
grain per hour, besides tu!ip-cutters'
crushers, sorters, pumps and other ng-
ricultural machinery, all set in motion
by electricity. The power is derived
from waterfall, and combining their
interests, the inhabitants of the com
mune have made science illuminate
their streets and houses by night ana
drive their machinery by day. more
cheaply than these things could be
done by the old methods.-1ouths

THE FRENCH PRESIDENT.

Grandeur to Please HIH People.
The French people love show, and
they expect their president to sur
round himself with as much grandeur
ms the potentates of other European M
tions. He is, therefore, pitted against
Emperor William, who, from all sources,
has $5OO0,O0O u year; the ear OF ltus-
sia. who has treble that amount, ana
Emperor Franz Joseph, who has S5,-

give n certain number of receptions,
balls and dinner parties, and whenever
a visiting monarch comes to Parls he
must entertain him and his suite with
The same outward tHgnity and state
that one sovereign shows another.
In theory the president is main
tained by the government. That is, he
is lodged, rent free, in the Elysee; he
enioys the produc. of the splendid
kitchen gardens and conservatories at
Versailles and Fontainebleau; he has
the rirht to shoot and hunt in the state
forests, and these also supply the palace
with wood and charcoal; the palace is
lighted by the state, and Il laundry Is
maintained irrespective of the preh-
dents income. The state allows him
three horses, but there are never less
than l2 in the stables.
The palace servants are paid by the
state, but they are only equal to car

given from 30 to 40 extra helpers are
hired, and this all comes out of the presi-

GREAT CURIOSITY.
The Blazing Spring Washington
Found in West Eirg.niR.


As long ago as l775 George Washing
ton visited what is now West Virginia,
and located as part of the pay for his
military service some of the land which
helped to make him the greatest OF the
piutncrats of his day before he died.
In the Kanawha valley he set npart for
all time as public reservation an acre
of land. His motive was the preserva-
tion of one of the greatest natural
curinsities of the period. In the cen
ter of that reserved acre was snail
hole in the ground. When ram fell the
hole filed with water. Through the
water bubbled continuously "A current

tinued until blown out by strong
wind. Travellers for many years
stopped to marvel at George Washing
tons Burning Spring" This was the
discovery of natural gas, but Washing
ton and generations which followed
his time did not know it.
Forty years after Washington chris
tened the Burning Spring" very de
termined citizen, enterprising as it was
understood in that time. bored for salt
water. He did not reach it at depth
expected and was advised to stop. His
reply was that he wodld find salt water
or bore into hi. In short time he
struck gas in such volume that the
boring tools were blown out. The gas
caught fire and mass of flame shot
upward. The enterprisiug citizen con-
cluded that he had done il, and ahan-
doned the location. Nearly century
passed from the time of WnshinEton's
discovery until the West Nirginians
turned to practical account the natural
gas which is now thought to be under
