Az the time when Raphael possessed
at Rome the reputation Of being the
greatest living master in his art one
Francois Francia held first place among
his Bolognese couutrymen as an artist
and was undoubtedly a man Of talent.
The two artists had never met, nor had
they seen each others work, but hay
ing heard Of each other they opened a
friendly correspondence. which contn-
ued between them. The desire Of Fran
cia to see the work Of Raphael was ex-
IRENE. but old age deferred him from
undertaking the fatigues and perils Of a
journey to Rome. An opportunity at
last occurred giving him a chance Of
seeing what be had so long desired. Ra-

Bologne, wrote to his friend, requesting
him to see it put up and even to correct
any mistakes nc might see in It,
As soon as Francia saw the picture
he was struck with wonder and admira.
tion and felt painfully his inferlority.
The picture was indeed one of the finest
that ever came from Raphael's brush,
but it proved only source Of grief to
Francia. He assisted in putting it up,
and never again had happy hour. In
one moment he had seen his life's work
thrown into odious comparison. He was
too old to entertain any hope by renew
ed efforts Of ever riyaliDg Raphael, and,
struck to the heart with grief and de-
spair, be took to his bed, from which
he never arose. He was impervious to
all consolation and expired in few
days in his sixty-eighth year, the vic
tim of the most excruciating disappOint-
ment and melancholy.

A Daring Joke.

The celebrated Handel had such sem
sitive nerves that he could not bear to
bear the tuning of instruments, and so
this was always done before he arrived
ut the theater. \ musical wag wishing

ity of temper, stole into the orchestra
on a night when the Prince of Wales
was to be present and untuned all the
instruments. AS soon as the prince ar
rived Handel gave the signal for begin
ming con spiritO but such was the h0r-
rible discord that the enraged master
started up from his seat, and, oyerturn-
ing a double bass which stood in his
way, he seized a kettledrum and threw
it with such violence at the head of the
leader of the band that he lost his wig
in the effort. Without waiting TO re-
place it he advanced bareheaded TO the
front ~ the orchestra, breathing yenge-
ance, but so choked with passion that
he could not speak In this ridiculous
attitude he stood stamping and staring,
for some moments, amid a CONFUSION
of laughter. Nor could he be prevailed
upon to resume his seat until the prince
went in person and with much difficulty
appeased his wrath.

pressed for money, took it TO a second
rate publisher with view of selling il
for what he could get at that moment.
He left it aud called the next day fol-

and requested another day for consider
alton, and at parting Fielding offered
his manuscript for geo.
On his way home Fielding met
Thomson, the poet, whom he told Of
the negotiation for the sale of his book.
Thomson, knowing the high merit of
the work, conjured him to give up the
bargain and offered to find better pub
Usher. The next day Fielding FASTENED
to his appointment with much appre-
tension lest the bookseller should insist
upon making a bargain. To his great
joy, the ignorant trafficker in literature
declined and returned the manuscript.
Fielding set off with light heart to
his friend Thomson, who gave the book
to Millar, the great publisher Of the
day. Millar handed it to his wife, and
she advised him by no means to let it
slip through his fingers. The publisher
then invited the two friends to meet
him at q coffee house in the Strand,
where, after dining, he offered Fielding
e200 for his book. The author was
amazed at the magniicence of the offer,
aud, recovering from the surprise of his
unexpected stroke of fortune, said:
"Then, my good sir, give me your
hand. The book is yours.

lion Of a buge air boiler or tank. the

tion of a huge air boiler or tank, the
construction Of the air locomotive is
similar in every respect to a steam loco
motive, and IL is propelled in the same
manner. The air tank is not unlike the
steam boiler of an engine and is carried
in the same position, thus doing away
with tender On account of its pointed
head it is better ablo to cut its way
through the heavy air of "a mine, attain
ing high rate of speed. The air is sup
piled by an air compressor located on
the surface.
The air is pumped through two five
inch pipes into the mine at pressure
Of SOC pounds per square inch. One of
these pipes runs to the bottom of the
slope and the other to the end of the
underground workings. These pipes
serve as reservoir for the air. AT the
ends of the lines and along the route of
the locomotive are stations where the
air tank Of the engine can be refilled
when exhausted. Exhaustion frequently
occurs, and without the station pumps
the engine would be useless.
The air tank on the locomotive has
capacity of 1874 cubic feet, sufficient
amount of air to carry train, includ-
ing eight or ten heavily loaded mine
cars. The speed is regulated according
TO the number Of mine cars attached
and to the track. On level and straight
railway one Of these engines can carry
from 10 TO ~ loaded mine wagons at
the rate Of 20 to 30 miles per hour. By
the old method the mine cars were load

they were conveyed through small gang

gangway, where bigger teams picked
them up and carried them to the bot'

to the surface in self dumping car.
Taking all this into consideration,
the air locomotive Is the solution Of the
problem and will reduce the cost of

One morning IN early summer, while
standing beside an old rail fence watch
ing some cows that were cropping the
grass, my attention was attracted by the
peculiar movements Of wasp that set.
tied on the rail beside me. The rail was
covered with light gray fuzz Of woody
fiber, beaten up from the decaying wood
by the excessive soakings it had receiy-
ed from the long spring rains, and when
the wasp had gathered as much of this
as he could carry he slowly flew away.
In short time there were dozen or
more of those industrious pulp gather
ers at work on the old rail, and as fast
as each of them obtained a load away he
flew in the direction Of clump Of
bushes that grew beside a small stream.
My curiosity was aroused, and | de-
termined to find out if possible what
they were doing with such a quantity
Of fiber, and approaching the thicket
cautiously | soon discovered them at
work on a good sized nest which hung
from the limb Of white beech sapling.
| was able to get quite near it, for wasps
are not apt to be quarrelsome if left
alone, and these were too busy TO take
heed of anything except their work.
As fast as their loads were deposited
they flew down to the brook, and hav,
ing "wet their whistles" returned to
the nest and set about beating the fiber
into a thin sheet, which was so deity
Joined to the main body Of the nest that
the jointure was imperceptible There
was constant throng Of workers COM
ing and going the objective points be-
ing the nest, the old fence and the
brook, and while each addition to the
structure was only the tiniest mite, yet
it grew perceptibly under the united
efforts of those little builders. Our Ami

The Enormous Amount of Crude Sulphur
Received In This Country.

The Enormous Amount Of Crude sulphur
Received In This Country.
Alfred S. Malcomson has published
an interesting statistical table in which
the W orld $ consumption Of birthstone is
shown for seven years This commercial
commodity is Of great Importance in
many branches of manufacture, but the
fact is not generally known in business
circles that lis, 1877 tons came to the
United States from Sicily in 1897 and
that the year before the importation
was even larger.
This commodity comes exclusively
from Sicily, and to a great extent from
the port Of Palermo. 1t is shipped in
bulk like coal and looks in its raw con-
dition like pieces Of broken stone about
the size Of those which are used on ma
cadam roads 1t is dull gray, and from
that to bright yellow, according to its
quality The higher the grade the yell
lower the stone. 1t is handled by the
large importers in its crude form only,
and these dispose of it to the manufac-
turers, by whom it is subjected to proc
esses which eliminate the drOss and
bring to the surface its valuable proper
ties. 1t is used by the manufacturers of
fertilizer materials and sulphuric acid,
and large quantities are consumed by
the manufacturers of wood pulp and pa
per.
The birthstone goes in great quaint
ties, also, to the sulphur reiiners, and
after it becomes sulphur it plays an i'm
portant part in the manufacture Of vul-
caniZed rubber. The addition Of sui
phur to plastic rubber, yulCaniZing the
mass between two tin sheets as an ex-
pertinent, gave to the world the valu.
able commodity known as hard rubber,
and no substitute has yet been found for
the yellow dust in the process.
The birthstone statistics show that
the United States receives more of the
material than any other country. For
the same time that IS, 1877 tons reached
the ports of New York, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, Charleston, Boston, Whining
ton and Norfolk the following exports
were made from Sicily to other parts Of
the world: France, 81. S95 tons; Italy.
70, 0j2 tons; United Kingdom, 24,j2Q
tons Russia, 1882 tons; Portugal,
1904 tons; Germany, 10, 12l tons; Aus.
tria, Is, 093 tons Grecce-Turkey, 1860
tons; Belgium, 9,253 tons; Sweden,
Norway and Denmark, ll,226 tons;
Spain, 1, 039 tons; Holland, 3, 500 tons.
The wine growing districts Of Europe
use large quantities of the material to
destroy the insects which attack the
vines, and although many substitutes
are employed the most careful growers
never abandon birthstone for that pur-
pose.
The supply in Sicily ready for trans
portation is larger now than it has ever
been before. there being no less than
$40, 3G7 tons in storage.-New York
