Glad He Lost HIS Job.

There is certain editor in New York
with whom the power of the daily press
is such hobby that he raised the sal
airy Of a subeditor who suggested
Sunday special on Famous Gradu-
ates of the Reporters Room, and at
once assigned his best dressed reporter
to interview leading authors along this
line. 1t happened that Mark Twain was
IN New York and the editor counted
on him as striking example of the lit
erary value of newspaper training The
reporter was ordered not to spare space
for the interview. Yet when the article
appeared Mr.. Clemens name was con-
spicuously absent. It was this way:
Mr.. Clemens received the reporter
with his customary urbanity, though
ne shrugged his shoulders when he
learned what paper the young man rep
resented. AS usual Mr.. Clemens was
most elusive man to pin down to an in
terview, but at last the reporter gath
cred his wits and asked the question
which he meant should point his article.
Mr.. Twain he asked. ''to what
one thing most of all do you owe your
marvellous success in hterature?" He
had counted on my newspaper train
ing" was the answer.
The famous humorist half shut his
eyes, thought few moments in silence
and then said decisively, ITO the fact
that when l was young and very smbi-
tious 1 lost my job. y
MAY l ask what was your job, Mr..
Twain2'' exclaimed the puzzled re-
porter
Certainly. sir, certainly replied

PICTURES WORKED IN FIRE.
A Wonderful Series of Electrical Effects at
the Export Exposition.


Philadelphia, Oct 3-The possible
tiles of electricity as a means of en-
tertainment seem to be limitless. Some
of the wonders of electrical light ar
rangement and the astonishing things
which can be pictured by an electric
current are wildly and beautifully
shown in one Of the theaters on the
Esplanade. This display, known as the
Edison Electric Fairyland, is said to
be the most expensive of all the enter
tainments to be seen upon the Export
exposition's broad thoroughfare. In
producing the astonishing effect to be
seen in the fairyland the use of 5000
multi-colored electric lights in various
combinations is required. Among the
most striking and beautiful effects is
scene painted with fire representing
the sport of the fays and the fairies,
and is appropriately named Mischief
Brewing" or the ELVES Fire Frolic."
The figures of japanese jugglers in
their deft tricks are painted with a
countless number Of tiny electric bulbs,
which when set in motion make fam
tastic effect
A beautiful picture effect is that of
ship at sea, suggesting the title which
has been given of "Homeward Bound. :"
Among the other interesting effects
among these visions of fairyland,
drawn with electric currents, is skip
ping girl with a rope of flaming roses.
The rising of the moon over a sea of
silver is shown in another scene. The
display of electrical flowers which
meet the eye from every point is an
effective show in itself The front of
the building in which these wonders
are shown is brilliantly illuminated at
night, an electrical clock being one of
its principal features.

A HORSE THAT TALKS.
Beautiful Jim Key, From Kentucky, at the
Philadelphia Exposition.

Philadelphia, Oct. "a horse that
knows more than was ever dreamed of
in horse philosophy is exhibited on
the Philadelphia exposition Midway, in
an attractive building especially erect
ed for the purpose This horse is Jim
Key. Jim is beautiful equine won
der, the most intelligent and learned
horse in the world. He gives recep-
tons daily to large audiences, and is
doing more toward strengthening the
position of horses in the esteem and
respect of mankind than all the hu-
manitarians in the universe.
Jim Key reads and writes, solves
arithmetic problems, operates cash
register and rings any number of fares
desired on a street car register. He
can manipulate a telephone, and by
movements of his lips appear to be
talking through it to the man or horse
at the other end of the line, and do
innumerable other things requiring a
degree of intelligence one would never
suspect horses brain capable of de-
veloping.
Jim Key was bred in old Kentucky of
a pure Arabian DAM Lauretta, brought
from Arabia by the late lamented Bar
mum. The mare was known as the
Arabian Queen, and was originally the
property OF Shiek Ahmeid Jim Keys
sire was the Hamiltonian Volunteer,
known as the king of Hamiltonians.

Where's Your Dead spotf

Most people have doubted their eyes
when at some conjuring performance
they have seen man run needles and
pins through both cheeks, evincing no
pain as he does SO. In reality every per-
son has hundreds Of senseless speclzs of
skin all over his body through which he
could run pins, or even cut them out,
without feeling any pain. If some one
else were to do so when he was blind
folded, he would not be even aware of
the fact. Physicians call them dead
spots, and the reason that one man can
sew his cheeks up while another could
not is simply because the former hap
pens to have many hundreds of these
spots in one place.
These dead spots are caused by the
minute nerves which convey every SEN
sation to the brain being either absent
in these particular places or dead and
senseless. But should any one of our
readers allow himself to be blindfolded,
and then get one of his friends to prod
him very gently with clean needle.
say all on one arm, out of every hun
dred pricks he will feel only about so
or 70 at the most
In the other cases the needle will
have touched dead spots. Cincinnati

STORY OF A GIANT AND A MIDGET
One Of the Amazing Contrasts to Be Found
at the Export Exposition.

One Of the Amazing Contrasts to Be Found
at the Export Exposition.
Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-There are no.
where more contrasts than can be
found at the National Export exposi-
ton. There is shown the smallest bit
of rolled steel. no bigger than Thin
BILE, compared to a great rolled plate
of steel more than ten feet high;
tiny railway, perfect in every detail
and drawn by 500 pound locomotive,
as compared with so ton passenger
engine; needle so small that it
scarcely makes an impression between
the thumb and finger, in contrast with
a steel girder 80 feet long, and, to cap
the climax. there is to be found the
tiniest piece of adult humanity in the
world, compared with the elephant
inc proportions of an Ohio giant.
Joseph w. Grimes, the giant, is
bicycle rider, 80 years of age, who IL
Illustrates the strength of particular
wheel. He stands 6 feet, inches in
his stocking feet and weighs more than
one-fourth of tonic be exact, 562
pounds.
This gigantic mass of flesh was
weighed yesterday on the same scales
with the Cuban midget, Chiquita, who
scarcely reached to the top of his boots
and weighs less than his two feet The
calf of Giant Joseph Grimes leg is 20
inches in circumference, and the panta-
loon legs which cover this enormous
part of his anatomy would entirely
envelope and hide the little woman
from view
The smallst human adult at the ex-
position would not reach, with her
hair dressed in pompadour fashion, to
the hips of the exposition's biggest
man.
The little woman has head as big
as baseball: Grimes head requires
No. 10 hat

A SCOTCH VERDICT
On the Export Show-It Is Great Thing,
Says DR.. Buchanan, the Eminent
Edinburgh Divine

Philadelphia, Oct 3.-One of the
most interested visitors to the Nation
al Export exposition this week was the
eminent divine, DR.. Robert Buchanan, of
Edinburgh, Scotland, who was on his
way to the Pan Presbyterian council at
Washington. DR.. Buchanan is a globe
trotter as well as very learned minis
ter, and he knows a great trade EXPOSE
ton when he sees it, OF the National
Export exposition he said: II am more
than pleased by what have seen to-
day OF course we abroad know what
a great nation the United States is, but
those of us who are making our first
trip to this country were scarcely pre-
pared for what has been our good for
tune to see.
This exposition is a truly wonderful
presentation of what can be and is
done by American manufacturers. 1t
is a beautiful show. and | am happy
that it was included in our itinerary.
Every one of us is enthusiastic over
what we have seen. Philadelphia has
world fame for her manufact ared
goods. and this exposition shows that
she fully deserves her name."

RAILROAD BUILT FOR CHILDREN
Its Train Hauled by Six Hundred Pound
Locomotive at the Export Exposition.


Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-The miniature
railway at the Export exposition, which
is operated on Vintage avenue, is the
greatest children's plaything at the
exhibition. The miniature railway is
built for the use of the smallest steam
railway train in the world. 1t uses
coal for fuel, consists of ten passenger
coaches, with capacity of two people
for each coach. The engine which
hauls this wonderful little train weighs
800 pounds, as compared with the
100000 pounds of an ordinary full
grade locomotive. 1t is a faithful re-
production of the parts and workings
of full sized locomotive. 1t is a
standard eight wheel American type
only five feet four inches long, Is
inches wide and 38 inches from the rail
to the top of the smoke stack The
cylinders are two inches in diameter
only. The passenger cars are five feet
long and % inches wide. The train
runs at speed of ten miles an hour
The railway extends considerable
distance around the Main building,
and Is eventually to be extended en-
tirely around the exposition grounds.
The children have no end of fun on
this little railway, and their mothers
and nurses are able to extract as much
enjoyment out OF it as are the children
themselves
