THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-The old
favorite Natural Cas-" dressed in new
clothes and abounding in new business
was presented at the Academy of Music
last night by an excellent company at the
head of which stands Eddie Girard the
original Whirlem O'Rourke of the DonneIly
and Girard combination. The house was
well filled, and although nearly every one
had probably seen Natural Gas" and its
effects before. it was received with every
show of popular approval, the old things in
the production being taken along with the
new In a manner that argues well for the
business of the house during the engage
ment of the farce here. Eddie Gfrard in
his Old character was, of course, the central
hSure, and his low comedy work coupled
with the clean-cut business of a higher
class of EGward Garvie as Christopher
Bluff, made an effective combination Their
team work was very good, and the songs
and stories which they interpolated from
time to time were very warmly received
The remainder of the company was ac-
ceptable in the main. Miss Amy Ames was
particularly good as Kitty Malone and add
ed to her already bright reputation as a
deIineator of Irish characteristics Some
enjoyable specialties were introduced. that
added not little to the attractiveness of
the production Miss Mollie Thomson
showed herself to be n very pretty and
graceful dancer, while Frank O'Brien in a
tramp turn and John Connolly in a negro
specially were very acceptable. Gus Hen
messy. as Jobson Doodle, was also good
The farce was very prettily staged and cos
TUNED, and should make a record in the
matter of fall business.

1t takes clever man to find good
word to say on every occasion. 1t Is said
Of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he once
received letter from his friend, Pro-
lessor Edward S. Morse, and found the
handwriting wholly illegible Mr.. AL
drich was not at a loss for an answer.
In due time there came to Mr.. Morse
the following reply:
My dear Morse, 1t was very pleasant
to receive letter from you the other
day. Perhaps should have found ii
pleasanter If had been able to decipher
1t. don't think mastered anything
beyond the date, which knew, and the
signature, at which guessed.
There is singular and perpetual
charm in letter of yours-it never
grows old, and it never loses its novelty.
One can say every morning as one looks
at 1t: Here's a letter Of Morses l
haven't read yet. l think / shall take
another shy at it today, and maybe /
shall be able in the course of few
years to make out what he means by
those It's that look like WIS and those is
that haven't any eyebrows
Other letters are read and thrown
away and forgotten, but yours are kept
forever-unread. One of them will last
a reasonable man lifetime. Youth 4

siamen. superstitton..

The first thing an orthodox Siamese
does in the morning is to scare away
the family ghosts who may have gath
cred about the old place in the night.
Letting Off crackers is an effectual
means At the new year all the ghosts
come trooping to their former dwell
ings. For three days they have their
fun. At the end of the time the priests
and their flocks fire guns and use other
devices for getting rid of them. A ST.
amese is cotfined face downward, SO
that the ghost may not sneak back
through the dead mans mouth. The
coffin is taken out through hole in the
wall and carried several times round
the house in order that the ghost may
be put off the scent and not return to
vex his family.-Exuhange.

The Atmospheric Clock.

The atmospheric clook-a sort of de-
vice that goes Of itself-is not inaptly
termed perpetual hourglass. In APP
pearance it is like long thermometer
with the bulb Of mercury at the bot
tom. The glass tube is about three
eighths of an inch in diameter and So
cured to the frame by two bands through
which it passes easily. The divisions Of
time are marked on each side Of the
tube. inside the glass tube is a smaller
tube shaped very much as an hourglass.
Some mercury and scrap of plotting
paper paper so- tie purpose OF taking up any
moisture that might gather in the tube
are placed at each end.
The mercury in the top end Of the
tube is placed opposite the mark of the
proper time and falls to the bottom Of
the tube exactly as the time passes
When it has run out from the top, the
frame can be turned and the mercury
set to time on the other side. Thus it
registers the seconds and hours quite as
accurately as any other timepieoe-the
drawback to such an arrangement being,
Of course, the turning Of the frame, q
task as irksome as that of winding q
clock. --Exchange.

OF William and John Scott after.
ward Lord Stowell and Lord Elton,
Lord John Russell used to tell this
story: When they were young men at
the bar, having had stroke of profes-
sional luck, they determined to cele-
brate the occasion by having dinner
at the tavern and going TO the play
When 1t was time to call cor the reck-
oning William Scott dropped guinea,
He and his brother searched for it in
vain and came to the conclusion that it
had fallen between the boards of the
uncarpeted floor.
This is a bad job, said William.
1--WE must give up the play"
"Stop Bit" said John. II know a
trick worth two of that, and he called
waitress.
Betty" said he, "we've dropped Q
guineas. Sec If you can find them. "
Betty went down on her hands and
knees and found the guinea, which had
rolled under the fender
"That's very good girl, Betty, "
said John Scott, pocketing the coin,
land when you find the other you can
keep it for your trouble" And the pru-
dent brothers went with light hearts to
the rlay and so eventually to the bench
and the woolsaok.

elusive agency for new filter that
promises to fill long felt want in
this section of the state at least.
1t is called the Sutton Tripoii filter
and is natural stone filter, made
in Seneca, Mo, and is designed
for family and general use. 1t is
simplicity itself, being made in
FIVE. different sizes according tc
the filtering capacity desired. The
block of stone is penetrated by q
series of drill holes in one of which
is inserted tube set with cement
to which is attached white rub.
Der tube about three feet in
length. Every drop of water in
the operation of the filter is re.
quired to pass through the sole
tripoli filter stone in order tc
reach the rubber tube through
which it is dawn OF, perfectly
pure and sparkling. All filth

ter and sediment of every charac
ter contained in the water will be
found deposited on the surface o.
the filter stone after using it anc
may be quickly removed ant

The Round Robin.

The 'round robin had its origin
several centuries ago IN France.
1t was used there by officers Of the
army as method Of expressing their
dissatisfaction with the course of the
king or his ministers. By signing in a
circular form the leaders of the move
ment could not be ascertained and sin
gled out for punishment.
The first instance on record of the use
of this form Of protest in the navy oc-

Protestant subjects of Louis XIII of
France. But the English tars, in COM

of their ooreligionists against the pros

they signed round robin, express.
ing their determination not to fire n
shot against them, and without waiting
for reply they weighed anchor and
brought their ships back to England.

Hor.e Racing and socialism.

In the Militar Woche9blatt, leading
German military organ, Herr Won Ploetz
recommends horse racing as panacea
for socialism. He says that the reason
why there is no socialism in England is
that they encourage horse racing there
and that 1.-THE love of the sport is the
connecting link between all classes Of
men, enabling the poor to comprehend
the necessity for difference of fortune. !"
Following out Herr Ploetz's idea. it
is said that gambling on horse racing is
increasing in Germany at tremendous
rate though so far no diminution Of
socialism has been noticed.

NATIONS CAPITOL
SEVERELY SHAKEN
Gas Explosion and Fire Causes
Heavy loss of Property
COURT RECORDS BURNED

Washington, Nov. Sat 8 o'clock
this afternoon an explosion of gas
occurred in the basement of the
capitol, entailing a heavy loss.
The building was shaken to its
foundations. Escaping gas from a
broken main caught fire, and soon
the flames were rushing up the
elevator shaft from the basement
to the supreme court room and
library. The fire departments
promptly responded to the alarm,
and soon had several streams of
water playing on the flames.
All the records of the supreme
court from 1892 to 1882 were
destroyed, and many other valu-
able volumes which the librarian
says can never be replaced. Be-
sides the loss in the library, there
was great damage done to the
masonry in the old capitol, and
several busts of noted men en-
tirely destroyed.
Washington, Nov. THE full
extent of the damage done by the
gas explosion at the capital yes
terday, has not been definitely es-
timated. 1t is thought, however
that $4,000 will cover the cost of
repairs. 1t is not believed that
the foundations of the building
are injured.
