Sykes. Who Was Noted for
HE Dinners.

Christopher Sykes, the bosom friend
OF the prince of Wales and all the royal
family. died the other evening in Ches-
tertield street, Mayfair. says the Lon
don Mail.
Last August Mr.. Sykes had par
alytic stroke, from which he had recov-
cred; but the other morning he was
seized by fit, and, never recovering
consciousness. passed away peacefully.
"Christopher," as his friends loved TO
call him, was the younger son of Sir

ELECTRICAL NOTES.

Out of every three persons struck by
lightning two recover.
Experts say the electricity in light
ming fash is not very great, but the
voltage is enormous.
The telephone subscribers of the
whole world number about 100000
The United States stands at the top
with 100000.
For fee of from two to eight cents
message one may talk from even the
smallest of Swiss towns over a long
distance telephone system to any part
OF the country, The instruments are
kept in perfect repair and the service
is said to be excellent.
An interesting experiment is about
to be tried by the Atchison, Topeka 4
Santa Fe railroad. which proposes to
light all the cars of its limited trains
between Chicago and Los Angeles with
electricity generated from the car
ax;es, and al-o to supply the locomo-

THE TRANS-ANDINE RAILROAD
1t Is Not Yet Completed, Though
Shown Without n Break on
Some German Maps.

Some recent works of reference speak
of the trans-South American railroad
from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso as
though il were now in full operation;
and on at least three German maps of
1898, supposed to be authoritative, the
road is shown without a break, SAYS
the New York Sun.
The fact is. however. that this i'm
portant addition to the railroad facili-
ties of South America is not vet com
pleted and is not likely to be for some
years to come. According to Mr.. Z. A.
Fitz Gerald, the explorer of Mount
AconcaGua, the road has been advanced
on the Gillian side of the Andes up to
the mountains and some way into them
on the Argentine side, but in March last
there were still A miles of the most
difficult part of the road to build and
further progress will necessarily be
very slow.
AT that time the road had been COM
pleted up TO Punta de las Vacas. in the
mountains on the Argentine side. and
to Salto del Soldado on the CHILEAN side.
The part yet to be built includes tun-
mel under the Cumbre pass. the summit
of which is 1906 feet above the sea.
The road through the mountains is Ia
foot gauge. with rack and pinion for
the sleeper grades. Even greater diff
culties are involved than had to be over
come in building the lines into the
Peruvian mountains.

PUMPKIN SWINDLES.
light ThrOU on nm InduAtry That
Has Contributed Wonders to
Oregon County Fairs.

Let no one open his mouth from
astonishment the next time he sees q
big 100 or 200-pound pumpkin at q
couaty fair. It's all fake, and the
pumpkins are not on the square" Thus
spoke a man who had recently been in
Prineville, the pumpkin center of Ore
gon. He further relieved his mind TO
an Oregonian reporter as follows:
Now, | have always at county fairs
looked with amazement at the mon.
strous squashes and rutabagas and
pumpkins. and thought how great is
nature, slightly aided by mans skill
in obtaining a high state of culture.
But ! always thought these big veg
etables were square, not in form. but
that they were on the square,. and
now | know that we always have been
jobbed.
"Will you believe me when tell You

CONCERNING ASBESTOS.

Mountain paper is blue asbestos.
Mountain wood is asbestos which ex-
tremely resembles wood
Mountain leather is a very light. thin
ard flexible asbestos.
Mountain cork is an asbestos light
enough to float on water.
Amanthus is a kind of asbestos in
which the fbers are so exceedingly
long, flexible and elastic that they may
have been woven into cloth.
Common asbestos has fibers much
less flexible than amanthus, it is heav-
Ter, dull green in color, sometimes
pearly in luster and oily to the touch.
Asbestos is found in nearly all parts
of the globe, but there is probably no
product Of inorganic nature about
which there IL 30 much popular mys-
terry. The principal claim teg this re-
nlarkabie product Is that 10 oaaae4 30

SOME GREAT LOVERS.

Thomas Moore was always in love.
r one looks through his poems one may
ind the names of some 16 different
ladies to whom he swore eternal fidel-
ity.
Byron was foolishly jealous of every
Womnn he ever loved. His loves ran
well into two figures, and he managed
sooner or later to make every one mis-
cradle.
Heinrich Heine. the poet. was ter
ribly jealous. One day he poisoned a
parrot belonging to his lady love for
fear Il should claim too much Of her
attention.
The Rivals" is true story OF Sher
idan's courtship. the character of Ly-
dia Languish in the life play being
taken by Miss Lindley, who afterwards
became the authors wife.
II Is said that when Goethe was first
IN love he carved upon tree in the
neighboring forest a couple Of hearts
united By scroll, and little later re-
ceived sound thrashing from the for
ester for Thus damaging the bark.

HELPING A HORSE TO GET UP.
New York Truck Driver Who
Knew His Business.

The usual knot of people that had
gathered on the sidewalk to look on. as
people always do when horse falls
down, saw in this case something that
was new to at least some OF them, says
the New York Sun. The horse, the off
one of Il pair hooked to a truck, had
gone down on a snow-covered and slip
perry asphalt pavement. The driver
cleared away all the harness, loosed all
the fastenings, so that the horse
would have perfect freedom of move
ment, and then did the one thing that
was new. He got from the truck Il big
piece of bnriap haggng and went back
to the horses head and prepared to
place it under the horses feet. He
spread it under the horses off fore foot
.irst. because that was the one he came
TO first coming from the truck, arrang
ing il on the ground close TO the foot
ard then lifting the foot and leg and
pushing the burlap under it. Then he
wen; around the horses head TO re-
peat the operation with the nigh foot,
and when he got all ready and had got
hold of the horses foot to eft it the
horse lifted his foot himself. while the
driver simply carried it forward to its
proper place Oh the burlap. Then. with
this good. secure hold for his feet, the
horse 60, up OH the slippery pavement
with no difficulty whatever, and the
diver hooked him W again and drove
on.
Level-headed ,Hiver; good horse.

SOCIAL CENSOR.
Credentials of Applicants for Pres
entatiUn at Court Closely
Examined.

The necessity for censorship over the
socla! credentials of applicants for
presentation at Queen Nicioria's cour,
s apparent when he air is heavy with
moraliz:ng over Hooleyism. says an
eastern exchange. Lord Charles Beres-
ford startled London audience year
ago by declaring that money could
buy its way into the highest places in
England. He merely anticipated the
records of the bankruptcy courts Mr..
Hooley did not succeed in establishing
company promoting on a permanent
social basis. The bottom fell out of his
enterprises before he had perfected
his system of batting small investors
with the names of earls and the leaders
of smart society. He was imposed up
on by swarm of spectators, solicitors
and middiemen. and he was bankrupt
before he could regulate the perquisites
of directors in accordance with fixed
principles of social precedence and in.
troduce tariff with maximum and
minimum fees for introductions to peo-
pie OF quality. The bubble was pricked
before the full purchasing power Of
the stock promoters money was
brought to bear upon smart society.
Yet this traffic carried Mr. Hooley a
long way into the social world. 1t
produced for him the acquaintance OF
many people of distinctions; it enabled
him TO enter the Carlton club. and to
stake out claim for seat in parlia-
inent. and it put him in direct negotia-
tons with the political managers for
the purchase of baroneicy for about
$25o,0o0 in hard cash.

TERRIBLE JUDICIAL ERROR.
How Lying Servants Caused the Exc
ecution of al innocent Man
I'm Russia.

A terrible judicial error is reported
from Bychawa. in Russian Poland. In
February. 1892. a merchan! arrived at
an inn there and took a room for the
night. Ia the morning he was found
dead in bed and had every appearance
of having died natural death. The
"boots." Ivan Pschatka. and servant,
however. both swore that they had
seen the innkeeper. Cazek, strangle
the merchant. take money from his
pockets and bury it near certain tree
in the garden. Their evidence was con-
firmed by the discovery of 30 rubles
buried at the spot mentioned by them.
The Judge held that Cazek's guilt was
now conclusively proved and sentenced
him to death. Cazek was shortly after
ward hanged in spite of his protesta-
tions of innocence.
Ivan Pschatka married the servant
and Cazek was almost forgotten, when
Pschatka and his wife recently quar-
relied and made accusations against
each other, which led to Investigations
being made. 1t hasnow transpired that
Cazek was in the habit of hiding his
own savings near the tree in the gar
den. Pschatka and the servant dis
covered the hiding place and stole all
the money except so rubles.
They were, however, terribly afraid
of being detected, and when the mer-
chant happened to die in the inn just
at the opportune moment for them
they concocted the story of murder and
caused the innocent Cazek to be found
guilty Of murder and hanged. The two
inscriptions perjurers are now await
inur trial for their awful crime,
