A letter from Frederichsruh informs
us that the building of the mausoleum'
for Prince Bismarck is being pushed
forward with considerable speed, and
that great numbers of worlSmen are
now busy upon it. Its huge dimensions
are already perceptible; the height OF
the dome will be not less than 26 to q
meters, and the stone walls are aPout
~ meters thick. A chapel, with an
altar and decorations, will occupy the
center Of the mausoleum. Beneath
this will be huge crypt, with nave and
aisles. The bodies of Prince and Prin-
cess Bismarck are to be laid side by
side at The western end of the nave OF
the crypt. 1t is hoped that the build
ing will be so far advanced before the
end of autumn as to permit the cere-
monial translation" of the collins OF

their final resting -place.-Westminster

\ new use has been found for steel
in the manufacture of harness. An
English firm makes a steel trace, con-
cisting of a narrow ribbon of the metal,
from three-fourths of an inch to one
inch wide, rolled very thin and cased
in leather \ trace of this kind has at
tanned a tensile breaking strain OF
4.575 pounds, while an ordinary leather
trace of the best quality, tested at the
same time, broke at n strain of 2,70O
pounds. Besides being lighter and
stronger than the ordinary trace, the
steel ribbon is about 20 per cent. cheap
er. The steel is of the finest quality,
and can be twisted in any direction.
The same kind of steel has been intro
duced in England in the manufacture
Of a practically punctureless tire. The
steel ribbon, cased in rubber, is placed
inside of the ordinary tire. 1t is said
that ii does not in the least impair the
residence of the wheel, and has ac-

NEARLY BURIED ALIVE.
SuSh Was the Awful Experience of
Many Wounded Soldiers
in Cuba.

They talk about these things in Yhis-i
pers rs yet-they are not mustered out,
YOU know Still, members of the hos
pital corps of the Seventy-first regi-i
meut tell some strange, grewsome
stories of hospital life between Ell
Caney and Siboney.
Although afraid of possible court.
martial, members CT the command, In
close touch with the hospital, tell of one
instance where an unconscious yellow
fever patient was being buried alive by
careless attendants, when the unfor-
tunate man was opportunely rescued.
Ii was on July IA of the present year,
in the yellow fever hospital, under the
care of DR.. Hamilton Jones. One pa
ticnt died in tent in which there were
six soldiers laid low by the saffron
scourge. The two worst cases rested
upon litters, covered with the regula--
ton blankets.
One of the assistant stewards, while
walking through this particular tent.
noticed that one of the stricken sol.
diers was in the throes of death. He
saw that in a few moments the brave
boy, who had escaped the deadly.
Mauser missiles, would breathe his last
with the yellow death. These facts
were reported to the doctor, who
promptly had the matter referred to
the steward, Sergt. Meyer, with instruc-.
tions to get the Cuban ''burial detail"'
and bury the man in the trench as soon
as he breathed his last.
II was only few minutes later that
| the assistant steward saw the Cubans.
march off with litter, bearing a silent
form, covered by a blanket.
"Well, his folks will go in mourning
at home" muttered the hospital official
as he walked carelessly into the tent in
which the soldier had tamely given up
his life for his country.
| AS he threw back the flap of canvas
he started back in amazement There
in front of him lay the dead man on his
litter bier.
"Whom the d are they burying?"
he yelled, and, rushing from the tent.
he ran like a deer to the trench where
the Cubans were just throwing the first
spadefuls of Cuban soil upon the quiet
! form beneath the blanket. Brushing
the swarthy military sexton aside, he
| jumped into the trench, pulled the
blanket from the quiet figure, and there
lay another scourge-stricken soldier.
unconscious. but still breathing.
Casting the blanket over the uncon-
scious man, the assistant ended the
obsequies before they terminated in
q horror, one of the terrible errors of
the war. The plague stricken soldier
was lifted from his premature grave
and borne back to the hospital tent,
and his dead comrade placed upon the
litter and carried TO the shallow grave
which had so nearly encompassed a live
man in living tomb-St. Louis Re-
public.

CHAPTER VI.

Halstead spent the morning pur-
posely in giving Diaz orders about
breaking out the Yap cargo, going
over the bills of lading with him as II
he confidently expected to reach Tomil
bay on Friday. AS for myself, l fol-
lowed his suggestions to the extent Of
winning over 40 of Don Silyestre's dol
lars at Sancho Pedro, in the smoking
room, and then losing nearly all back
to him. This put the old gentleman
in high good humor. We were getting
quite chummy, when the senorita came
along forward and asked me to tell
her how observations were taken; she
had noticed Moreno on the bridge
with his seXtant, and made that an eN-
cuse to get me out for a chat.
It still lacked ten minutes of noon,
90 l fetched a spare instrument from
Halstead's locker and held it so that
she could see the sun, like a red ball,
through the smoked glass. She couldn't
seem to keep it from wobbling out Of
sight, but persistently squinted
through the lens while she scolded me
for leaving her alone the whole morn
ing.
All" she said, Il did my new shoes
put on before el desayuno because l
tbs promenade did expect with el cap
itan or el Senor Enrique. See, are
they not pretty?" She placed the little
toe of one in a mesh of the netting,
drawing up her skirt a tritie so that l
could see the whole of the dainty tie,
and, above it, a few inches of beau
tifully rounded ankle in open-work silk
stocking, which disappeared in cloud
of lace edging. And then, when l
did with that stupid cura have TO walk,
what saw but el captain the tiresome
occupation talking with el primeTo.

The more ! thought over what she
had told me. the more | felt that my
oleaginous clerical friend was likely
to make trouble for us sooner or later;
and when we were alone l repeated
the conversation for Halstead's ben
eft. He and Mcpherson, counting
upon the padres good offices, had been
inclined to doubt his misunderstanding
ability. though their experience In the
east had taught them better; but after
digesting the senorita's warning and
recalling several remarks of Sebasti-
amos, he began to look thoughtful.

Guilty as matters are" he said, with
out having a suspicious priest to con-

there might be some connection be-
tween Parde Julian's absence and Sc
bastiano's trip out here. If what the
senorita told you is true, about his
being influential at Madrid, II seems
mighty queer that so big gun should
waste his time in the Ladrones. You
see, there aren't enough of the heather
TO convert, nor are there any oppor-
tuuities to WELD influence in the Phil
ippines from such base of operations.
The cura, now, might easily be com
ing out to practice on the natives; but
neither the pickings nor the political
pull are big enough to interest man
of any standing"
1T would be an odd coincidence,
wouldn't it, if old Julian and this chap
had figured the thing out and were
actually upon the same errand az our
selves?"
"Hmpf! Itwould seem heap queer
