Try Holding Your Breath.

The modern quick moving elevator,
when it sinks suddenly, gives many
persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling.

one of the floors two women.
'Do you know" said one Of them to
the other, THAT if you hold your breath
going down in an elevator you don't
have that unpleasant feeling; you don't
feel it at all.
Of course nobody in the elevator lis

drew long breath. The elevator shot
downward in silence.

was one at least who said that the plan

NEW Works. GROWTH.

Tho City Has Never Halted Since It Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes paper on the
Greater New York, entitled Reasoning
Out a Metropolis. for st. Nicholas.
Mr.. Ingersoll says: .
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearby north
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now the
Greater New York. 1t embraces 341
square miles of territory and includes
population Of nearly 8, 100000.
Besides these at least another million
dwell OH the New Jersey side Of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs. This
makes population of nearly 4, 500, 600
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter-
ests in America, but, excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.
How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it stands?
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is it's position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons for it's situation? The earliest
settlement here was merely trading
station that gradually became small
seaport, like dozen others along the
coast. Before the year 1900 these were
SO nearly alike that he would have been
{ wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be the two great
American seaports.
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number of people find it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later for pleasure. You cannot force
q city to grow in an unnatural or insult
able situation, and it is no easier to pre-
vent a city from growing in it's proper
place. But the conditions that change
village into big town and expand the
town into a city or metropolis are not
the same in different parts of the globe
and vary with the march of the CEN
turtles; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nineveh or Mem
phis, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amazing 5apidity, after long his
tory as small and insignificant places.
AS for New York, it has never halted
or gone backward for a moment since
it was fairly started on it's career in

ONCE THEY WERE MEDIUMS

Now They Expiate Their Sins by Tossing
/. Balls of Blue Fire.
Close by the Northwestern tracks at
Leavitt street is the home of the jug
Cling sisters.' They were twin presti-
digitators in their days Of life, SO runs
the tradition, and now they toss balls
of blue fire about as the juggler does
eggs, cannon balls and the like. Their
pet amusement is to stand on their
h,ads and toss the balls as if they were
standing afoot, The force of gravity
seems to be reversed for their benefit,
for they "toss" the balls Of fire down,
and the little flames "fall" up. All this
Is set down just as James MacCourtney,
the oldest settler in the neighborhood,
tells it. He said the other day:
''Them broad windys over there on
the north side of the old building is the
place where the sisters comes to show
themselves The year of the World s
fair counted up their performances, an
they come every Sc days. The reason
fer that is somethin could never guess,
but some smart young chap here fig
gered out that it was always in the
dark Of the moon. I've noticed since
that there never was no moonlight when
they got up there in the windys.
whats the cause Of their hauntin
the old place? Why, sir, the story's so
old there can't no truth nor lie be made
out on it. There's no man in these dig
gins langer'n I be, an I ken the story
only by hearsay, so to speak. I heerd it
from my granddaddy, an he said he heerd
it when he was a young man comm
here. That mus "a ben in the thirties.
Onnyways he sed that the two sisters
was persdiditaters. It seems like they
give performance in the house, which
was new then in course, an the pair of
them agreed ter be locked up in a box
thet was to be sealed an fastened an
then they was to get out without break
in the seals. Well, they was locked up,
but they couldn't get out, an purity soon
they foun themselves so short Of breath
they couldn't boiler loud enough to be
heerd. In course they was in room
away from the other people, SOS the
common folk couldn't see how the trick
was turned. When they couldn It boiler,
they tried rappin, an the others only
thought they was a-workin out Of the
box an so didn't pay attention. After
an hour or so the other peoples got nerv-
Gus an went in an opened the box, an
there was the two sisters, cold dead.
They buried 'em together in the box in
the yard back of the house, an that's
why they juggles the fire balls upside
down like. '-Chicago Chronicle.

One For the Debating Club.

A group of half dozen physicists,
all eminent; sheet Of paper, pencil.
With the latter one of the group draws
pulley, cord over the pulley, a tree,
bough from which the pulley hangs.
70 one end of the cord is attached a
stone, to the other cord clings mon
key. The stone balances the monkey.
If the monkey proceeds to climb up the
cord, what will happen? Will the stone
rise or fall? Heated discussion; break
up of the party; no result. Can any Of
your readers help to settle this question?

MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Are Constructed and OPP
Grated In Philadelphia.

How the Plants Are Constructed and OPP
Grated In Philadelphia.
Artificial cold or ice may be most
readily produced by the evaporation OF
O more or less volatile liquid. In the
first machines constructed this liquid
was water. One-tenth of the amount of
water used was converted into ice, but
as it was necessary to maintain vac
uum in the apparatus its perfect work
ing was a difficult problem. A more
readily volatile liquid, therefore, had
to be substituted, such as -liquefied sui
phurous acid and liquefied ammonia.
Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures,
they are very suitable substances for
this purpose. The ammonia ice machine
is the one in most general use-in fact,
it finds exclusive application in this
city. This liquefed ammonia is allowed
to expand in coils Of pipes which are
placed in tanks filled with brine. The
temperature of the brine is thus reduced
to a point below the freezing point of
water-that is, to l4-18 degrees F.
In this refrigerated brine are placed
galvanized iron tanks having the shape
of the large cakes Of ice which one is
accustomed to see in the wagons that
pass through our city streets. After
period Of 1880 hours this can of water
is converted into solid ice. The can is
hoisted out of the brine, warmed with
hot water, which allows the cake to
slip out upon a shoot that runs into the
storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia
in the pipes can be used over and over
again, large compression engine being
a part of the plant, which reduces the
expense Of tho process. From this de-
scription it should be plain that there
can be no faint Of ammonia to give a
taste to the ice.
The plants usually employ distilled
or artesian water, SO that the ice is of
the best quality. Whatever impurities
the water contains are collected in the
white streak found in the center of each
cake. The pure water separates from
the impure and freezes first. Even ten
years ago the demand for ice was sup
piled from natural sources, the har-
vests from our own Pennsylvania riv-
ers, which were stored every winter in
great houses on the shores of the streams
being supplemented by shipments
throughout the summer from Maine
There are now in Philadelphia Is ice
making plants, some of which yield
over 100 tons per day each, and the arti-
fetal product for several years has been
a serious competitor of the natural arti-
ole.-Manufacturer.

No Negro In South Africa.

The word "negro" is not heard in
South Africa excepting as term of op-
probrium. Over and over again have
Afrikander Englishmen stopped me

HE LOVED THE SEA.

Eemnyson Used to Study It From the
Downs Of the Isle Of Wight.
Tennyson said, Somehow water is
the element love best Of all four" but
In the recent memoir he is also credited
with saying that he "never cared great
~ for the sea on the south coast. It is
not grand sea, only an angry, curt sea-"
Probably that was a view expressed
before he became familiar with the To-
cality, for though the Atlantic does not
plunge against the isle of Wight as
against Cornwall and the west Of Ire
land he himself has proved how much
power and enchantment the sea reveals
from the downs. Let the weather be
fair or foul, nature is never dull from
the vantage ground of those convexltles
which seem Ike the rind of the earth
and give an illusion of vastness and
openness beyond their actual area Men
striding OH ridges and etched against
the sky indeed seem ''as trees walking

bleating, the sea churning among the
powders, the occasional believing of a
steamer for a pilot, the swallows crying

sense of being disem bodied possesses us,
we are lost in the impenetrable vapor,
and the gulls pass over our heads, Wis.,
ible but for an instant as they float from
obscurity into obscurity. In times Of
storm one seems to be at the seat of the
elements and witness to all their
processes. The clouds roll and break
against the cliffs like another sea. and
sunbursts flashing from them leave
silver swath over the vexed and SOM

ing them at night gives one the feeling
of scaling the walls of heaven itself.
They slope like the sides of pyramid,
and the apex of the pyramid impales
the stars. On sunny days the sea below
is purple, and every shade of blue and

Effects Of O Bee Sting.

An English physician relates an in
stance Of a lady who was stung by a
bee. At the first moment she seemed to
pay very little attention to it, but very
soon her face became flushed and spots
appeared all over her body. Suddenly
she developed most severe attack Of
asthma, finding great difficulty in
breathing. Another instance is that of
a young lady who was stung on the
back of her head by an ordinary honey
bee. In less than five minutes her face
began to swell, and very marked red
and white spots appeared all over the
surface Of the body. The swelling ex-
tended over the entire person, accompa-
MED by severe pain, burning and giddi-
ness The eyes were almost closed and
the countenance was so distorted as to
be unrecognizable. Very free bathing
in soda water, with little sod. taken
internally, and hot applications to the
feet and thorough massage finally afford
ed relief, but it was some hours before
the patient recovered from what was
truly an alarming condition. Violent
attacks Of nervousness accompanied the
trouble, and the sense of suffo:ation
was almost intolerable. The young wo-
man had been stung a number of times
before without any apparent unpleasant
result. The physicians were of the opfn-
ion that the bee had been feeding upon
some extremely poisonous plant, which
became concentrated in the venom Of
the sting. Be that as it may, the condi-
fion was such as to excite grave appre-
hension, the more SO as it Was several
days before recovery. Was complete
