NOT COMING HERE.


S0llQated.
1t was announced yesterday in dis
patch from Richmond Va, the head
quarters of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road, that George W. Stevens, general
manager of the road, had been offered
and accepted the position of general
manager and vice president of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
road with a salary of $4,000 Mr..
Stevens now receives $4,000 a year
from the Chesapeake and Ohio, and he
has had remarkably successful career
on that system. The report was said to
be without foundation at the offices of
the Consolidated road yesterday. Meth
er President Clark nor Vice President
Hall could be found yesterday to verify
or deny the report but, as stated, it was
not credited at the roads offices.

Picture Cleaning.

If there is any subject in which the
average picture collector is interested
it is that of the proper cleansing of
pictures. Professor Church, to whom
has been intrusted the cleaning of the
pictures in the Houses of Parliament
in London, has invented novel and
curious apparatus for the purpose. In
the London atmosphere pictures are
attacked by fog, SCOT, sulphuric acid.
and other products of coal combustion,
which reach even pictures thatare un-
der glass. Professor Church's treat
ment is to blow upon the spoiled pct
ure perfect cloud of bread crumbs.
Two crumbed-up quartern loayes are
put into his machine, which is run by
compressed air, and which discharges
the crumbs through tube upon any
part of the picture. This is no doubt
an effective way of removing SCOT aud
dirt; but it is obvious that if the treat
ment be continued too long, it may re-
move some Of the painting also. The
trials so far made, however seem to
have been satisfactory.
Inobstinate cases the picture is also
washed with distilled water and
clicked with silk handkerchiefs con
tanning pads or cotton wool" In some
cases it has been found necessary to
restore" parts of the paintings, and
1t is interesting to note that parchment
size, size colors, a solution of paraline
wax in benzol, and pigments mixed
with the yolk of egg have been used
for this purpose. 1t is possible that
some Of the Westminster pictures may
serve more useful purpose as the
subjects of Professor Church's expert
ments than in any other way. Art

FIRST NEWS OF cERvsRA's DEFEAT.
How the Good Tidings Came by Secret
Code From Santiago.

Code From Santiago.
From Experiences of a War Cen
sor," by Grant Squires in the Atlantic,
the following fascinating glimpse into
some of the secret methods of the
Spanish war is taken:
The first intelligence of the destruc-
tion Of Cervera's feet was received at
the cable office six hours before it
was given either to the press or to the
public. At half-past seven on the
evening OF that day, message from
Colonel Allen, the signal officer in
charge of the cable communications in
the vicinity of Santiago, was read from
the recording tape of the Hayti cable
1t gave the first news of the flight of
the Spanish fleet out Of the harbor,
and told how the vessels, one by one,
were either burned or beached.
The President and his Cabinetreceived
it within five minutes after its receipt
in New York, and it was for them to
determine the use to be made of it.
Swiftly the wires licked the wish back
of the President that the news be
guarded until it could be verified, and
at eight o'clock began the effort to
confirm, in the shortest possible time,
this most startling and gratifying
news. Then followed anxious
hours of waiting by the administration
for the details which we were striving
to get for them. The time passed
slowly, as when one watches by the
ha1uida Of q ioly ,,arSOp. r-a Iap+ o1-o,
the tiny tape of paper, slowly unwind
ing its coil as it passed beneath the
needle~like point of the recorder,
making no sign for minutes nor for
hours of the news so eagerly desired.
Ten o'clock, eleven o'clock, midnight,
and still no answer; but in the mean
time the line between New York and
Washington had not been silent, for
the officials at the Capitol were as i'm
patient as we were When We were
about to give up hope of more news,
slowly, at nine minutes past midnight,
the glass needle of the recorder began
to trace in the wavy, thread-like line
of deep blue message characters which
told us that the good news was true.
This also was from Colonel Allen, and
it confirmed his earlier dispatch, and
gave the additional information that
the whole Spanish fleet had been over
taken and destroyed, and that Admiral
Cervera and the survivors of his crew
were our prisoners. In one minute
this message was in the Presidents
hands at Washington, Then the doors
of the cable Office, which had been
locked during the evening, were
opened, and a sigh of grateful relief
and congratulation went up from all
present.

1t is reported that Senator Crothers,
of Maryland, is engaged in formulat-
ing a practical road law for the whole
State, which he will report at the next
session of the General Assembly.
Farmers living in the vicinity Of La
peer, Mich, during the season of1S98,
have been experimenting, and found
such good results that in the coming
years good roads will be their hobby.
A distinguished Canadian civil en-
gineer connected with the Department
of Agriculture of the Province of
Ontario has calculated the direct fnan-
ciaI loss daily in the Province of On
tario from bad roads, and shows that
the province could afford to invest
$4,000 per mile on every mile Of public
road.
The sad condition of roads about
Scottsville, Va, is said to be stirring
up the people tremendously. The
farmers have been pent up at home so
long by impossible highways, they are
growing desperate, and, as soon as
they can get together, they are going
to hold a meeting and prepare to i'm
prove the highways.

New Use For sheIlac.

1t would be difficult to find a better
all-round varnish than that made by
dissolving a quantity of mixed white
and orange shellac in methylated
spirits. 1t dries bright and hard, and
resists the wear and tear of printing
well, while shellac, however, except
in large centers, is difficult to obtain,
and in consequence is usually bought
in larger quantities than is needed for
immediate use. Any overplus is best
stored by keeping it in jug or jar
large enough to permit the lac being
entirely covered with water. 1t will
keep thus protected for a long time.
but if neglected, or the water allowed
to evaporate, or not stored in water at
all, it will gradually become insoluble.
These insoluble bits may be made in
to an excellent sealing wax. Take a
pound of this waste lac and half a
pound of common rOsin. Melt to-
gether and stir until well mixed Now
pour product into water and knead
and press into sticks before it be-
comes hard To color it, vermillion
may be added, while in the molten
condition. This makes an excellent
wax, better than the average run of
sealing wax Of commerce. -Philadel-

An Object Lesson.

When the good people of Wolf
vile, Nova Scotia, started to church
on recent Sunday morning they
found moored at regular intervals
along the street, small fiat-boats taken
from the barn of gentleman who
runs boat merry go-round during
the summer. On lamp posts, printed
in large type, notices were nailed;
Ferry here" ''This ferry for the
postofice," etc. Upon buoys fixed in
the mud were pasted such notices as
these: keep to the right and avoid
sunken rocks and submarine mines;"
pleasure boats will please not get in
the way of the ferries" and in one
particularly bad spot this met the eye;
Here were lost nine precious souls,
and man from Gaspereaux. X" In a
prominent place the mayor was hung
in effigy, with the following placard
above him: "God help the people L
can do nothing"

1t is announced that two Frenchmen
have just constructed a new machine
surprising the cinematograph in i'm
portant particulars. Combined with
sharpness of image, the inventors have
succeeded in vastly increasing the
number of exposures per unit of time.
The speed of the cinematograph may
be taken as twenty-five exposures per
second. This is said to be too slow for
photographing rapid movements, but
it is professed that the alethorama will
take 2000 photographs per second. To
do this the machine must use fifty
meters of film per second. or not far
short of two miles per minute.

CHERRIES.

Under the tree the farmer said,
Smiling and shaking his wise old head:
Cherries are ripei but then, you know,
There's the grass to cut and the corn to
hoe;
We can gather the cherries any day,
But when the sun shines we must make our
hay;
Tonight, when the work has all been done.
Well muster the boys for fruit and fun"
Upon the tree a robin said,
Perking and cooking his saucy head:
"Cherries are ripe! and so to-day
Well gather them while you make the hay;
For we are the boys with no corn to hoe,
No COWS to milk, and no grass to now"
At night the farmer said: Here's a tricki
These rogulsh robins have had their pick"
