to be quito quarterfof ambition dol

man or a deliberate impostor has been
long debated question. Indeed there
are some highly intelligent persons who
yet cling to the conviction that keely
had discovered and was on The, verge of
successfully controlling the most pow
erful dynamic force known to nature.
It is not necessary at this tiane'to re-

tor, about which hundreds, tperhaps
thousands, of columns of newspaper

Here was an alleged discovery which
if genuine had in it the potency Of .reyo-
lutionizing mechanics. The inventor re-
fused to take out patents, and he re-
fused to permit the innumerable inves-
tigators who were admitted to see the
working of the machine, many of them
of the greatest mechanical reputation,
to know all the facts about it. Chal-
lenged directly as cheat of the most
audacious kind, he coldly turned his
back on all the offers of those men
whose scientific Endorsement would
have cleared his reputation of every
stain and have given his alleged discov-
cry standing in the world s court, Mr..
Edison is said to have been one Of these.
The final secret of his mechanism he
kept as something esoteric, not even to
be revealed to his intimates and the
people whose money was lavished on
him. 1t may be that as Mr.. ;Keely is
dead and his papers and mechanical eff
fects are in the hands of an executor
the secret, if there is one. will be made
known, but it is certainly: true that
during his life it,was kept absolutely in
the dark. In spite Of the eircumstantial
deduction which naturally occurred to
most persons of good sense as pointing
either to crack Drained delnsion or to
gross trickery, he never failed for many
years to secure a throng Of devoted sup
porters. Though many were men. Of great
intelligence, nothing could shake their t

Had the Keely motor been as clear as

mechanism and with lively promise
of financial success it is doubted whether
it would have secured such devoted

Pitiable Plight of a Re- cent Arrival From
 Victoria.
Thrown in the Tanks in This City on a Charge of
 Burglary.
WORKED FOR REVENGE
Robbed the False Ono Who Had Accomplished His Sad
 Downfall.

John Altman, who was arrested Thursday night and charged with burg iary, still languishes in a cell in the City Prison Behind his arrest is pathetic story of a prosperous citizen losing his head on account of an at tractive young woman, whose only aim was to get possession of his money. Altman, accompanied by his wife, ar rived here several weeks ago from Vic toria, where he was engaged in busi- ness. Meeting a friend, Altman con- sented to "do" the tenderloin district They visited a number of saloons, and in one of them Altman met the woman who Is responsible for his downfall. She is known only by the name of Mat tie. Altman, despite the fact that he had a wife, fell desperately in love with her. Almost nightly he would re- turn home in an intoxicated condition and abuse his wife. Realizing that his affection for her had vanished Mrs. All man packed her grip and returned to her parents home in British Columbia Altman apparently became more devot- ed to "Mattie," and offered to make her his wife. She pretended to love him until his money was gone, and then failing to induce him to telegraph for more stuff" as she expressed 1t, she informed him that she had no fur ther use for him. The foolish man be- came distracted and drank more heav- ily than ever In his desperation he went to her room and pleaded with her to become his wife, after promising to take her to his home in Victoria. She refused to listen to his entreaties and ordered him to leave her room. Smart ing under the humiliation and curSing himself for his foOliShness Altman awaited an opportunity to get even" with her. The following day he rented a room in the same house, unknown to the woman. He told the landlady that he was from the East, and that he was a race horse man. Shortly after he had taken possession of the room he saw the gay Hattie leaving her apart ments AS she emerged from the house he broke into her room and stole her sealskin sacque and some other arti- cles.
 He placed the stolen property under his bed, intending to dispose of them at an opportune time. Unfortunately for him, he was suspected, and the police were notified The property was found where he had concealed 1t, and Altman was taken to the City Prison and locked up in the tanks.
 Last night the woman visited the City Prison and had a short conversa- tion with him. She assured him that she would not prosecute him, provid ing that he promised to return to his wife. Altman keenly feels his disgrace, and Is anxious to return to Victoria.

 One of the highest officers in the German army Is very particular that his soldiers are properly fed. He is in the habit of making unexpected visits to the barracks and inspecting the food in person. On the occasion of one of these visits he perceived two soldiers carrying a steaming boiler from the kitchen.
 Put it down. Fetch a spoon," he commanded.
 The astonished soldiers looked at each other.
 One of them rushed off. but reap peared in a few moments with a spoon.
 "I want to see what sort of soup you get" said the general as he dived into the boiler with the spoon, but as soon as he tasted 1t he spat it out, ex- claiming:
 What sort of broth is that? It tastes like dish water. What is 1t anyhow"
 That's just what it is, your excel lency." replied the soldier. Its the water the dishes were washed in"

DOWN ON AN ENGLISH ACADEMY

Sir: In this decadent month, after the great sea serpent has usually risen once more to the surface of the press-onlv, perhaps, to be choked in far from 1In- seasonable effort to emulate the diges- tion of other contributors, by swallowing the gigantic gooseberry-no sensible man will feel and no honest man will affect surprise at the resurrection of a more
 ridiculous monster than these The notion of an English academy is too se
 riously stupid for farce and too essen tially vulgar for comedy. But that a man whose outspoken derision of the academic ideal or idea has stood on rec ord for more than a few years and given deep offense to nameless if high minded censors by the frank expression of its contempt and the unqualified ye- hemence of its ridicule, should enjoy the unsolicited honor of nomination to a prominent place In so unima ginable a gathering-colluvies literarum it prob ably would turn out to be If ever it sIunk into shape and writhed into existence well, it seems to me that the full and proper definition of so preposterous an impertinence must be left to others than the bearer of the name selected for the adulation of such insult-AIgernon Charles Swinburne, in London Times.

The Number of Lonquoqes.

English Exchange
 The least learned are aware that there are many languages in the world, but the actual number is prob ably beyond the dreams of ordinary people. The geographer Baldi enum- erated S60 which are entitled to be considered as distinct languages, and 5000 which may be regarded as dialects.
 Adulguns, another modern writer on this subject. reckons up 3064 lan- guages and dialects existing and which have existed. Even after we have allowed either of these as the number of languages we must acknowledge the existence of almost infinite minor diversities, for almost every province has a tongue more or less peculiar, and this we may well believe to be the case throughout the world at large.
 It is said there are little islands ly- ing close together in the South Seas, the inhabitants of which do not under stand each other.
 Of the S60 distinct languages enum- erated by Baldi, S9 belong to Europe, IA to Africa, 123 to Asia, AT to Ameri ca. IF to Oceanica-by which term he distinguishes the vast number of isl- ands stretching between Hindustan and South America.

shove them off into the sea by mere force of numbers, and yet the thought of attempting this does not seem to have occurred to anybody in all the huge so-called empire. Instead, the Chi nese are offering money, concessions, anything. if the insolent strangers will only go away, and. in anticipation of refusal, are negotiating with other strangers, equally rapacious. for as- sistance in accomplishing what they might perform for themselves in ten minutes. This state of affairs is mysterious only to those who think of China as a country with a ruler and a people. In reality the Germans have invaded only the bit of land on which they stand and have insulted few
 officials at Picking and few peasants on the coast. The rest of that vast population will probably never hear of this piratical act, and will not care particularly about 1t if they do.

 Nothing could better prove the utter unlikeness of China to other nations, or could come nearer to showing that she Is not nation at all, than the ease with which a few hundred German sailors have been able to seize one of her most valuable harbors. Here is a mere handful of men who have estab- lished themselves on land to which they have no shadow of claim, and with only the shadow of a preteXt for their action. Close to them is a big town, every one of whose inhabitants has deadly hatred of foreigners, even when inoffensive. and within a few days march are millions and millions of men who, under intelligent leader ship, can fight both desperately and effectively. Yet the Germans have met with little more resistance than they would have encountered if they had tried to steal the luncheons of half a dozen children on their way to a country school.
