gapoleon's strange Plan oE Conquest
 4 German historian is said to have discovered Napoleon's original plans for the invasion of Great Britain in the year 17S9, and accident wills it that this discovery was made at the same time that the French agitation for a submarine tunnel connecting France (yla spain1. with her African possessions is renewed.
 One hundred years ago Napoleon was still General Bonaparte. He had humbled Italy, and had captured the pope free Switzerland was vassal of France. Then the general set out to be lord of the sea.
 He decided to tow an army over to the British coast on great floating forts, with large bodies of troops lined up in battle order. They were then to fight their way ashore, and land on the coast without resort to lighters, The troops were to march ashore in the order of their regiments, preceded and backed Up by the artillery.
 1t will be remembered that Napoleon has often declared that he would have been as great an admiral as he was general with half a chance. But, " he added, "the French are useless as sail- DTS. They are too fussys loo exeitable. At sea one needs a calm mind, quiet fortitude, and energy.
 To many on this side of the Atlantic, the words engine house, marked on Napoleon's plans, are of peculiar in- terest Fulton, the American inventor, launched his first experimental steam boat on the Seine in 1903, but his con- neetion with the French government dates from 1797, when he offered his submarine torpedo boat to France. Failing in this, he turned his attention 10 steam navigation. From his draw ings, it would seem that Napoleon meant to try steam navigation with his ferries one hundred years ago.
 No doubt Napoleon used Fulton's plans, but there was still another American inventor at his service John Fitch, of Connecticut-who built the first unsuccessful sidewheelers in 1788 to 179O, and three years later went to Paris to sell improved plans for steam navigation to the French government.
 Bonaparte's ferries were built in Brest, in Cherbourg. and in Boulogne, but when Napoleon inspected them, in the spring of 1798, his faith in the new fangled marine monsters wavered. He abandoned the proposed invasion of the British Isles and instead started on his famous expedition to Egypt.

The animals had to themselves a palace" stable car equipped with everything dear 10 equine appetite and comfort, with 6 special attendant to minister to their wants. It is said to be the first time Chicago has been drawn on for such a consignment to domestic destination nearly 2,500 miles away.

Four Famous Statues.

The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Tbebes, and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of it's property of emitting sounds when its lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally a portrait model of King Amenophis III, and was one of pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high carved out of single blocks of sand stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so well known the most remarkable is that of Bu3dha at Nara, rear Kioto, in Japan, which was erected A. D. 1100 It is made of bronze, and is fifty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 curIs, and the im- age is surrounded by a glory or halo seventy eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images, each twenty-five feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight of metal III the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 500 pounds consist of gold.

The name ebony is given to the wood OF
several varieties of trees. All kinds Of
ebony are distinguished for their great
density and dark color. The wood in all
varieties is heavier than water; the heav-
lest varieties are the darkest. The other
grades require a considerable amount OF
staining to make them black. Ebony Is OF
a uniform color throughout, and Will not
show any deterioration even from long
continued use. There are three varieties
of ebony well known in commerce. The
ebony from the Gaboon coast of Africa IS
the darkest The Madagascar ebony Is
the densest. The Macassar ebony furnishes
the largest pieces. Almost all ebony IS
sent in the form of logs to London, and
from there shipped to the various eoun-
tries in which ii is used for manufacturing
purposes. 1t is sold by weight.
limitations of ebony can always be dis
tinguished by their lighter weight, ana
the cheaper limitations can be detected BY
merely scratching the surface.

ABOUT EBONY.
The Various Uses to which the Black
Wood Is Put.

From the jewelers. Weekly.
Ebony was known and highly esteemed
by the anclents as an article of luxury.
and was used by them for a variety of
purposes. In India It is said that 1t was
employed by kings for scepters and also
for images. On account of its supposed
antagonism to poisons 1t was used largely
for drinking cups. It's use has extended
continuously down to the present time
and In England, as well as on the CONT
nent, il has always been held in high es-
TEEN by the wealthy for toilet articles and
boxes. In France particularly the manu-
facture of ebony goods has attained a
high degree of perfection. Within a few
years its use in the United States has in
creased remarkably, in large measure. no
doubt, on account of its combinati ton with
silver, which is believed to have originated
in this country. The striking contrast
OF the dead black of the wood and the
brilliant white Of the silver has from the
outset commended Ii to the American pub
lie. This combination it is SAID has now
been introduced into England and other
European countries.
The silver mounting of the ebony gives
scope for the taste and originality of the
silversmith. The style of decoration most
frequently used on the larger pieces con-
sists of border of scrolls, of flowers or OF
a combination of scrolls and floral designs
The variety and degree of elaboration of
the borders shown are almost endless.
Sometimes the border extends only half
way around the edge of the article. A sill
yer shield on which the initials of the own
er may be engraved is generally placed in
the center of the piece. This shield is &C.
casionally replaced by a monogram, more
or less elaborate, which may be the only
mounting used. Large initials are also used
instead Of a monogram. Another style of
decoration consists of a beaded edge of sill
yer. While the border is occasionally used
on smaller pieces, the decoration for these
is generally confined to a shield or mono

Washington. Nov. 4-For the past year,

interests in China.
The officials of the state department fat

that the subject is so far stll open, al
though The prospects of ultimate success
are regarded as highly encouraging.

our government does not appreht nd any
