duced, yet their artistic feeling and
skill in setting gems, often but poorly
cut and polished, cannot be surpassed.
AS an evidence of this, comb of
matchless workmanship was presented
to the Prince of Wales by the rajah of
Jaipur. Another present which the
Prince of Wales received on his visit
to India in 1915 was a sword from the
maharaja of Kashmir. set with dia-
monds and emeraldS, valued at $25, 200.
in addition to which there was a soil
taire diamond in the belt worth $4,000.
Probably one of the most expensive
hats ever worn by any person apart
from an actual crown. was that of Sir
Jung Bahadur, prime minister to the
king of Nepal, when he paid his for

a magnificent headdress of diamonds
worth over 100000, he wore in an aig-
rette single ruby the size of a marble
presented to him by the emperor of
China, and of inestimable value.

back an emerald as large as a hazel
nut, and terminating in bangles stud

been not less in value than 100000
Another potentate present on that
memorable occasion Wore a necklace
of uncut emeralds and rubies of such
size that it was doubted if they could
possibly have been real stones. Many
of the finest Indian gems are, from
our point of view. much lessened in
value by engravings made upon them, !

Archdeacon Brady. who made so Sc
cure an entrance into authorship year
or two ago with his historical romance,
For Love of Country" has been en-
couraged by its cordial reception to
make further ventures. He has COM
! pleted a second noVel-baSed, like the
first, on American history, as 1 under
standard is now well forward in a
book that will tell, from a new and
thorough study of all the documents
and authorities, the stories of the not
able sea fights of the early navy A
number of the chapters of this last book
VIII first appear as magazine articles.
The novel, too, l believe, is to make its
first appearance serially.
The archdeacon is writing his stories
Of the navy with special enthusiasm
He says he is putting his best efforts
into them; and those that he has al
ready finished he likes as well as any
thing he mas yet done. This to people
who know him only as the archdeacon
of Pennsylvania, devoted to church
service and duties, may seem a little
singular. But it is natural enough, and
indeed, almost inevitable, when you
know something of the birth and ear
lier history of the man. He is of a
Virginian and Pennsylvania stock that,
as the needs of the country required,
has supplied good, stout soldiers from
the time of the revolutionary war down
ward, and the warrior impulse of the
family prompted both him and a
brother to desire a martial career At
II he entered the navy. as "a cadet, and
was educated at the United States ma
val academy. Then the church attract
ed him, and his life work became cler-
ical and not martial; but there has sur
Tived in him the strongest interest in
the navy and admiration for warrior
skill and heroism. The brother who
shared the hereditary martial impulse
with him, after serving some years as Il
telegraph operator made his way into
the army and is that CAPTAIN Brady
who, throughout the recent war; was
the government censor of telegraph
matter at Tampa He, by the way, has
completed the special service in Cuba
and Porto Rico on which he was en-
gagged through the autumn and early
winter, and is now stationed at Column
bus, o., where he is devoting such
leisure as he can get to writing the
story Of his experiences during and
since the war, and in seeing through
the press the forthcoming book of his
adventures as a telegraph operator.
1t is not always the reviewers, those
august dispensers of literary fate,
whose approval gives an author most
delight. Mr.. Stockton tells of an en-
dorsement once received by himself,
from an authority far lnSmbler, that

books of stories for young people, and

THE HEAVIEST TRAIN.
Great Accomplishment of nm Engine
ON the baltimore a
ohio Road.

When the receivers of the Baltimore
s. Ohio railroad began the now famous
series of improvements of the physical
condition of the entire system, their OBJ
iect was to increase both the trainioad
and the number of revenue tons per
mile, and at the same time reduce the
cost of transportation. Much has been
done, and by the lowering of grades,
elimination of curves, laying of new
steel rails and the purchase OF heavy
motive power they have very materially
added to the number of cars per train.
But il was not until the nth OF March
last that demonstration was made OF
what might be expected Cf the new Bal
timore Il Ohio railroad. Enough new
Seton capacity steel cars had been de-
livered tc give the operating depart
ment chance to experiment. Fifty
steel cars, each weighing 81 900 pounds,
were loaded with an average of $4,000
pounds of coal. TO them was coupled
new 22x2S-inch consolidation locomo-
tive weighing 16s,700 pounds and hav-
ing 54-inch driving wheels.
The start was made from ,Cumber-
land. Md, and the destination was
Brunswick, Md, on the Second division.
In his report General Superintendent
Fitzgerald says the train was pulled
with comparative ease and that the
class of engines used will be able to
handle so cars of so tons capacity each
on that division without trouble.
Hitherto the trainload on that di-
vision has been 325 units Of ga tons
each, or about 1900 tons. 40 per cent.
increase over that of five years ago.
The 50-car train was computed as con-
tanning 497 units, or GAS, 100 pounds
gross. The net weight of coal in the
train was Ass, 100 pounds
1t was by far the heaviest train ever
hauled over the line and demonstrated
that heavy power. modern equipment
with safety appliances, and a good
track, mean more revenue tons per mile
and decreased cost of transportation.

PIDGIN ENGLISH.
The GrOtesaue Gibbertsh Used I'm
China between Foreigners
and Natives.

The nondescript tongue known as
'pidgin-English is almost the only me-
dunn of communication between for
eigners and the Chinese, and nine
tenths of the enormous business done
in China between the English, Germans
and Americans and the Chinese is done
through this grotesque gibberish.
Mr.. Chester Holcombe, in his Real
Chinaman,' gives two amusing anec-
Totes to show how absurd it is.
A young foreigner who called upon
two young ladies, also foreigners, was
informed by their Chinese servant:
THAI two piecey girlo no can see.
Number one piecey top side makee
washee, washee. Number two piecey
go outside, makee walkee, walkee." He
meant to say that the elder Of the two
was taking a bath upstairs, and the
younger had gone out.
When King Kalakaua, of the Ha-
waiian islands, visited Shanghai, he oc-
cupied a suite of rooms up one fight of
stairs at the Aston house. Two Amer
lean gentlemen called to pay their re-
spects one morning, and meeting the
proprietor, inquired II the king was in.
II will see" replied the landlord, and
shouting to Chinese servant at the
head of the stairs, asked: BOY That
piecey king top side. had got?" "Hab
got" laconically answered the servant.
Gentlemen, his majesty is in. Pray
walk up" said the landlord.
