"'Wav Out Yonder. 4"

William Lightfoot Visscher has made
into a story the annals Of a Boom
Town" it's rise and fall. The tale is
written in humorous vein, and in the
main is but an excuse for the drawing
Of the many curious characters that
flock to a sensationally built town. It
does not take a great deal of art to
make such people and places amusing
in a way; indeed, the pencil Of carl
caturist is more to be desired for such
work than the brush Of an academician.
This book is prefaced by Opie Read.

perils of a Bridge Builder.
Engineering Record.


The dangers of bridge erection are only
family understood by most people, and 1t Is
chiefly for their benefit that the following
anecdote is told, for many structural en-
gineers are doubtless able to describe other
accidents just as surprising. Several years
ago while a large Viaduct was under con-
struction on the Nickel-plate road near
Buffalo work was suspended for a time
owing to the severity of the winter. 1t was
the foremans duty to examine the struc-
ture every day, and on one OF these tours
top of the incomplete viaduct after heavy
snowfall. He was shuffiing along pair OF
large snow-covered Stringers when sud-
den gust of wind destroyed his balance and
he was in danger of falling to the rocky
raVine 125 feet below. He managed to
thrust his feet between the stringers, but
the Jerk of his fail Wrenched one foot from
its rubber boot, the other lost its hold and
he began to fall. He happened to catch in
his mittened hands one of the inclined rods
of the tower on which he had been standing,
ton with another rod. There the shock
with which his hands struck the intersec-
ton made him lose his hold and he dropped
again. This time he fell to a transverse
horizontal strut where he managed to cling,
and along this he crawled to one of the
columns of the tower. He succeeded in
climbing to the top of this, and, in spite
of his injuries crawled over the stringers
some $50 feet to the end of the structure
although the wind had increased in vio-
1ence He managed to make his way thence
TO a house where he secured some sort of
a conveyance to the railway, and in this
way finally reached a hospital. He had sew
eral ribs broken and was otherwise injured,
but eventually recovered.

ism is an economic. not a religious war. In
our ranks you viii find men Of every re-
ligious belief also atheists and agnosSies.
AS to the church Gignitaries or the Jesults
being interested in our movement, l know
absolutely nothing about that l have no
personal acquaintanceship, no relations
with any cardinal, bishop, or Jesuit. i
never see any, and in fact, the higher
clergy are rather inimical toward the
movement. They are the servants of the
Jews as much our magistrates and poll
ticians. If we have any friends among the
hierarchy it is in the lower ranks. The
poor village cure--who receives a miserable
pittance from the government and is
treated like a lackey in return-being In
touch with the masses and understanding
their needs and their troubles, naturally
wishes US success. No. we are not clericals,
and for my own part l would even hail
the separation of church and state as
Salutary reform"
Thus ended the interview. NJ. Drumont
accompanied me to the door, and as part
ing admoniton added earnestly: Whatever
you say, do not forget TO lay stress on the
blindness of the Jews in this crisis-that
is the most dramatic element of the situa-
tion-it is almost pathetic.

That Washington was the greatest man Of
his time. and perhaps of all modern time
is the considerate victory of history Others
may have surpassed him in particulars, but
in the harmony of high essentials and APP

that he lived up to his cause, the noblest
that ever engaged political endeavor, is to
say all. He eminent in public and i'll

of circumstance His character did not
vary with vicissitude and may be compared
with the perfect radiance Of the moon, with
a suggestion of it's GOODNESS. Unextravagant
in action and in speech, he merits extrava-
giant eulogy. He made history without blot
ting 1t or adding scandal to its page. He
was eloquent and yet he could debate with
out commotfon; he did not dispute for love
of personal victory, and therefore he made
end. He was no demagogue, no PROBES
sional friend. He did not pose for the day
nor for pOsterity. He had convictions but
no dogmatism. He was more than rea-
soning man; he was reasonable. He was
not brilliant, and yet he did brilliant things.
His courage was not spectacular nor acct
dental: it was habitual and uniform. With
a heart of flame and a brain of ice, he was
the man for long peril. His spirit could
bear a burden.
He reminds us of many men, and yet he
was greater than they. We see him lead

We see him at Monmouth, ra.lying his be-
trayed, panic-stricken sOldery, and we
think OF Sheridan. We see him hitting the
towards over the back with his sword and
we know that his wrath could be as terrible
as it was righteous. Yet his self-control
was supreme; he merely admonished to
duty. We see him in the foes of the Della
ware leading $500 men against ten times
the number, achieving two victories which
made England reel. and we remember the
dash and heroism of Ney. We follow the
long line Of mastery movements which
ended the revolution in Yorktown and we

Odors from Flowers.


DlSpdlCH.
Captain Since has discovered a method of
gathering the scent of flowers as the plant
is growing. He takes glass funnel and
heats the thin end over spirit lamp. He
then draws out the stem to a fine point.
This accomplished, the funnel is filled with
ice and placed on retort stand, the pointed
end being placed In a small glass bottle,
without touching 1t. After this the stand
and the funnel are placed in greenhouse
among the flowers, whose doors 1t is de-
sired to collect.
Gradually the vapor rises from the flowers
and, in meeting the colder surface of the
funnel, condenses into drops on the out
side of the glass. From the point of con-
densation 1t trickles down until 1t drops into
the bottle. In a surprisingly short time a
large amount of perfume is collected, and
it is claimed that so per cent. of the contents
Strange to say. this essence of the flower
needs to be adulterated with spirits of wine
Otherwise it would become sour and use
less
Another new process for extracting the
perfume of flowers is that OF M. j. Passy.
He sleeps the flowers in water which is
drawn off when charged with perfume and
fresh water is substituted. The flowers are
thus kept fresh for long time, and their
life is still further prolonged by the use of
a special saline solution. The charged
water is then evaporated by ether. This
process is said TO have proved successful
with many flowers which previously were
slow to yield up their perfume, notably the
lily of the valley

Treatment OF pegenerates.
