Niagara Under SearchIiEhts,

The coming Pan-Amcrican exposition
which Is to be held in Buffalo will be
the occasion of what will doubtless be
most brilliant and startling illumi-
nation. The idea is to erect a series of
tall towers on both the American and
Canadian sides Of Niagara river On the
top of these lofty spires huge electric
searchlights will be placed in such
manner that they may be played on
any part of the falls. The imagination
may picture the dazzling effect that
will be produced when n score of those
powerful instruments of illumination
are brought to bear upon the rushing
waters as they tumble irresiStibly over
the rock ledge into the depths beneath
A constant change of cOlOrs will be
used In the manipulation of the search
lights, so that now the falls will be
like molten silver, again a flood Of
crimson, again as green as old ocean
Itself, and so on through the whole
gamut of colors of the painters pal
cite. The astonishing effect will be
still further heightened by the use Of
electric arc lights in the Cave of the
Winds. which will give to the water
rs it falls in front of it n weird, Dhos-
phorescent glow. The power of this
record making illumination will be all
within easy reach, as Niagara will IT.

Only Jar of LIS Kind.

Horace Walpole tells lively story of
an old porcelain vender, who had an
exceedingly rare and valuable jar on
which he set an almost fabulous price.
One hot summer slight volcanic
shock, such as the British isles occa-
sionally experience, logged his house
about his ears and split his porcelain
vase. To an ordinary mind the accident
would have been calamitOus, but the
china seller rose superior to fortune.
He doubled the price Of the article i'm
mediately and advertised it as ''the
only Jar in the world which had been
cracked by an earthquake" Nothing
very slow about that. Whether he got
his money is not added, but he certain
ly deserved it.

The Outlook For Iron.

Looking at the future from a prac-
tical standpoint it is not difficult to
see where we can put 16,00GO00 tons
Of iron next year and 20,0OO,000 tons a
year or two later. The larger part of
two hemispheres has to be gridironed
with tracks, heavier rails are to be
introduced on 100000 miles of existing
track, Il thousand ships have to be
built as soon as the overCrOwded ship
yards can build them, 100000 steel
freight cars must supplant a million
wooden cars, thousands Of dangerous
wooden bridges must be displaced by
steel bridges and stone arches, cheap
wooden fences by the millions of miles
will be supplanted by galvanized wire
fences. Structures, including mills.
shops and factories, must be made Of
steel and glass, and our dwellings will
soon be made with n larger admiXture
of iron.-Rocky Mountain News.

RUSSIAN CUSTOM.
OF Placing an Inscribed Silver Plate on
on Her Warships.

OF Placing an Inscribed Silver Plate on
on Her warships.
A Russian custom, which has pre-
vailed since the earliest days Of heI
naval power, of firmly r1veting to some
part Of a new warship a silver plate
bearing inscriptions and with a fac
smile of the craft engraved in the
center, is to be carried out at the
Cramps Shipyard next week on one OF
the new battleships building there fol
the Russian navy. The plate is always
placed ON soc part of the vessel, gen.
orally below the water line, where 1T is
little liable to injury, and where 1t is
expected to remain as long as tho ship
Is in service. Those built abroad fol
Russia'S navy are not excepted, al
though the same elaborate ceremonies
such as prevail in a home shipyard,
are not observed. There the placing OF
the plate is attended with much cere-
mony. a priest being present to con-
duct religious exercises, and detach-
ment of sailors to fire a salute. Other
plates similar to the one fastened to
the ship are made, and one is presented
to the emperor, another to the en-
press, and others to members Of the
admiralty board, high ranking naval
officials and other dignitaries.
Cramp, who is now building bat
tleship and armored cruiser for Rus
STA, has arranged for an observance OF
the custom some time next week, when
he will put near the magazine of the
battleship a silver plate, suitably in
scribed with the name of the ship and
the date of her launching, and bearing
a beautiful engraving of the craft as
she will appear when in commission.
Twenty additional plates have been
made for presentation to the royal
family and the leading Russian naval
officials. The same practice will be
followed shortly with the armored
cruiser, although in both instances the
religious exercises will be omitted.

Justice Ellis Court.

Luz Avaita is being tried before JUS
tioe Ellis this afternoon charged with
assault to murder for having stabbed
Manuel Car bajal, at a bale given at
Concordia about ten days ogo. It was
first feared that Csrbajal would not
live, 30 serious were his wounds, but
when he appeared in court today he
seemed greatly improved.
Carbajal seems to be little vague
as to who did the cutting and on cross
examination by Attorney Wallace for
the defendant as to whether he could
swear that Avaita did the cutting said
he was not sure, but he thought he did,
The state failing to make out case
against Avaita he was dismissed by or
der of the court.
