From the New York Tribune
While the United States steamer Brook
lyn is being repaired shore leave is given
in turn to patches of sailors. One man.
who lives in this city on the East Side
and who was allowed to remain with his
family for two or three days, invited a
shipmate to take dinner with him last Sun
day. Unfortunately the shipmate lost the
address and could remember only the name
of the street. Reaching the street, he wan
dered up and down. asking every other
person he met if he knew the house where
a sailor belonging to the Brooklyn lived
None knew. The man, nonpIussed, was
about to give up the search, when he OBJ
served a youth sitting a stoop amusing
himself with an old battered bugle A
thought struck the sailor.
Lend me that minute" he said to the
young man as he grasped the horn. Putting
it to his lips he sounded with all his might
the dinner call of the Brooklyn. Sure
enough. two or three seconds later from
window not fifty yards away, a head
was thrust and a strong lusty voice called
out: Ship ahoyl Full speed ahead up here

mad an experience in a Chicago violin shon
last week that might happen once in TO-
0oo,Oo0 times. Mr.. Dillingworth came over
from Cincinnati with his daughter, who is
a somewhat skilled violinist On the road
the daughters pet violin got smashed in a
trunk. 1t was medium good instrument
Mr.. Dillngworth paid SIS for it in a Lon
don shop and had given it to his daughter.
He took it to State street store to have
1t repaired. The next day he went back
to get It.
We haven't finished the repair yet" said
the clerk You see, We had to take the
violin apart" he explained, exhibiting the
pieces.
Mr.. Dillingworth was astonished to catch
sight of his name on the under side of the
top piece He examined 1t more closely.
This is violin made fifty years ago"
he sasped, more surprised than he had ever
been in his life.
Half century ago Mr.. DilIingworth
made the violin just as an experiment. and
because he had knack for using cabinet
tools. He afterward sold the violin to a
friend for $780, The friend sold the in

Tampa, while we were waiting for orders
to go to Cuba which was arkable in its
way. One night, after trying for several
hours to get to sleep in my tent l went
outside to see If there was a breath OF fresh
air to be had Near the tent there was a
rough bench, which had been built by some
of the boys to serve as a table for card
playing. 1t was about three feet from the
ground and was just wide enough for a
man to lie down on.
Il walked over to the bench. and, stretch
ing out on 1t, was soon asleep. L dreamed
that l was .standing in a Spanish camp
surrounded by hundreds of excited Span
iards. who were insisting that l be shot al
once for spy. L was perfectly cool and
had a supreme Indifference about my fate.
They took me over to a stake driven IN the
ground and tied me up to it. Then they
wheeled up an enormous cannon to within
nifty feet of where L stood and aimed 1t
straight at me. / saw the gGdner seize the
LANYARD and look around at the officer in
charge for the command to fire. Then l
closed my eyes. The next moment there
was tremendous roar.
The cannon hall struck me squarely on
the side of the right hip, and | flew UP
into the air l woke to lind myself on the
ground, where had rolled from the bench.
There was sharp pain in my right hip,
and, looking out into the open space be-
yOnd the tents, l saw that the morning gun
had just been fired. The smoke was still
hanging over the cannon. The pain in my
hip was caused by it's coming in contact
with a stake driven Ii the ground nea- the
bench
Several weeks later at San Juan 1 got a
bullet in my hip right where the cannon
ball of the dream struck and directly
in the center of the bruise left oy my
forcible contact with the stake when l
rolled off the bench"

THE beautiful and delicate shades on the
eggs of birds are not very fast, especially
IL they belong to the lighter class of col
Ors," remarked an ornithologist to the
writer yesterday. I'm many instances some
of the finest and most characteristic tints
of eggs disappear almost entirely on ex-
posure to light A common example is the
beautiful pale blue of the stariing's egg,
which, on exposure to sunlight for few
days, loses its clear blueness of tone and
becomes purpier, approaching more to a
slate tint. Such is also the case with most
OF the greenish blue eggs, like those of
many sea birds. the common guillemets, for
instance, the beauty of which largely de-
pends on the clear freshness of its blue
tints. 1t is, therefore. wise for egg col
lectors to keep the glass cases containing
all such specimens carefully covered up
when not being inspected, otherwise much
of the beauty Of tint will be lost in course
of time"

RAILS GROUND TO DUST.
Effect of the Constant Wear and Tear
on n Railroad.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
AS consumers of steel the railroads in the
vicinity of Pittsburg lead the world. Dur.
ing the past three months 40 miles Of new
steel rails, averaging ninety pounds to the
yard. have been put down or distributed
within thirty miles of the center o. the city.
There are 1,760 yards in mile, which
would mean 299. 200 yards for one line OF
rails in 40 miles. or 26.92s.OOo pounds, or
say 5s.s56OO0 pounds for both lines Of rails,
or 9,2s3 tons of steel rails needed in one
year for Pitts5urg roads. 30 per cent OF
which was for renewals on old lines
There is somewhat of a mystery regard
ing where the steel worn out on big road
goes 10. 1t is ground down almost to imper-
ceptible dust by the constant friction of the
grinding wheels, and. this friction is 45 per
cent greater on curves than on straight
stretches of track. The wear is also much
greater on ascending grades on a straight
track than on a descending grade on
curves tho wear is mostly lateral or hort
zcntal, while on straight track II is perpen-
dicular. with a slight inclination toward
the inside of the rail next to the fianees of
the wheels.
to dust by the wheels of trains in this conn
try are lost. 1t cannot be reeained for
scrap, because IL settles down into the hal
lass Is brushed away by the rush of air
caused by the swiftly moving train and
like the star dust which fails nnon Ihs
ocean, is lost forever
In time, as civilization and the wheels of
civilization move on the railroads of tbe
chlef steam railways, as well as mart of the
adjoining ground. viii become thoroughIv
impregnated with steel and iron dust from
Ihe grlnolng UP OF rails and wheels. because
II must be remembered that the wheels
grind the rails and the rails grind the
wheels, and this constant shower of iron
ana steel dust Is accumuiating along our
railroads at rapid rate
