The given names of our presidents
are curious study. There was only
one George, the first one. There we're
three Johns, the two Adamses and
Tyler. James leads the list, five of
them, Madison, Monroe, Polk, Bu-
chanan and Garfield; two Andrews,
Jackson and Johnson; two Williams,
Harrison and Mckinley; one Martin,
one Zachary, one Abraham and one
Benjamin. Then the modern fashion
of dropping the first given name and
taking the. second, the surname, of a
namesake, came in. OF these we have
had Millard, Chester, Rutherford and
Grover. One was an odd fancy. Pres
ident Grants name was incorrectly
enrolled at West Point, and he never
took the trouble to correct it-so he
lost 'Hiram" and gained ''Ulysses."
The dropping of the first given name
first appeared among the Smiths and
Joneses. By this special individual
ty was sc rured.-Interior.

RAILROAD SPARKS.
Distances from Tracks at Which They
Will Cause Fires

There is very general idea that
woodland and grass fires are very
often caused by sparks from passing
locomotives. Casual observation Of
the banks along most all railroad
tracks in dry summer tends to con-
firm this notion But it is now con-
tended that many claims are often
made on railroads for damages of this
kind in cases where they arc not to
blame. An interesting little investi-
CATION of the subject made recently
at Purdue university brings out some
suggestive data Along certain rail
road track square pans were placed
at distances of Is, 25, so, rs, 125,
275 and S7S feet from the center of
the track. In each pan was laid
wooden frame covered with soft cot
ton cloth. The object was to secure
record, where possible, which would
give some indication of the tempera-
ture of the spark. If, for example,
the spark were large enough and hot
enough to seorch the cloth, the fact
would be made plain. A location was
chosen near the top of a heavy grade
over which many freight trains passed
daily, and across which the wind had
an unobstructed course. The obser-
vations included direction and We
locity of the wind, the velocity Of
the train, the condition of the wealth
er and the temperature of the air.
The largest quantity of sparks fell
in the pans so and rs feet from the
center of the track. The largest Gin
der caught did not equal in size COM
mon white beam In no case was the
cloth in the pans scorched, showing
that if the cinders entrapped were
alive when they left the locomotive |
they had lost their heat before they
reached the pan. Fine dust-like par
ticles were found to fly distances as
great as 375 feet, but this was only !
true under the influence of very |
strong wind. Incidentally it may be |
noted that some earlier tests at Pur-
due few years ago disclosed the fact |
that under certain conditions the fuel
lost by "sparks" might run as high
as nearly 25 per cent. of the dry coal |
fired.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

rhis Asiatic Roy Has vast Army of
Seasoned WARRIORS ar His
Beck and Cali.

Sumshere Jung is the name of the
young king of Nepal, one of the stran-
gest governments and countries in the
world. 1t lies between Thibet and In
dia, and contains the highest moup-
tains of the loftiest of the earth's
ranges, the Himalayas. This little king
has 100000 of the best warriors in the
continent of Asia at his back. and II is
therefore easy for him to command the
respect of all the neighbvring tribes
and governments. Even the English
remain on friendly terms with him and
hire some of his soldiers to help them
conquer the Hindus.
The people of Nepal are a strange
mixture of races.
The ruling tribes are the Ghoorkas,
whose prowess has given them the su-
premacy. They are of Aryan stock,
whittier than the Hindus, and despise all
arts save that of war. The religion Of
the different tribes varies between
Buddhism and Brahminism, but not
much of what we call civilization is to
be found there. The capital city is
Kathmandu, where the rajah or king
lives in a queer palace made up of o
large number of small pagodas, sur
rounded by shrines erected to the Hin
du gods. These are often smeared with
the blood of the sacrifices brought to
the gods, giving a most savage appear
ance to the palace environs.
OF course this rajah is too young
now to do the actual ruling, which is
in the hands of his chief minister, but
the power of the ruler is absolute. and
be can order life or death for anyone
who displeases him. The people are so
afraid of foreign influences that they

REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPH.
Accurate Image of a Bird in a Plate
5 Glass Window.

A Bristol sportsman shooting at a
pigeon a day or two ago sent bullet
against the large plate glass in the
front Of the Bristol post office. The
ball struck the glass at an angle of
about 80 degrees and glanced off. 1t
apparently cracked the glass, pro-
ducing a large, starlike impression.
To rub ones finger over this impress
sion will demonstrate that the glass
is really not in a cracked condition.
In the center Of the impression is the
image of a bird, much more perfect
in detail than could be produced by
the most skilled artist who engraves
in steel. The wings, tail, etc, are
noted for perfection in every detail,
and are so delicate and beautiful as
to inspire instant admiration and
wonder. The incident is a most sin
gular one indeed, and by what strange
art the leaden ball photographed the
image of the pigeon on the window
pane may never be explainCd.-Nash-
