The viAHraph.

The viAeraph il a newly-invented ma
chine for accurately determining the
inequalities of a road surface. 1t re-
sembles a sledge, and in principle is a
straight edge applied continually TO the
road on which il may be drawn. The
machine carries roll of paper which
receives the impression of two pencils.
One OF these is fiNed and marks per
fectly straight line, while the other
rises and falls according TO the vari-
atoms of the surface. These variations
are transmitted by Il serrated wheel
which travels on the road surface and
Is attached To one end Of u lever which is
pivoted in the center. At the opposite
end OF the lever is the second pencil
and as the wheel rises and falls with
The undulations of the road surface the
pencil rises and falls correspondingly,
thus making an infnllible record of the
surface. The viaxraph has been ex-
tensively used in England. where its
records have been frequently used by
bicyclists for the purpose of showing
the authorities how much some roads
are In need of repair. Such record is
the more valuable as u piece of testi-
mony from the fact that the actual de
gree Of unevenness OF a given road can
be indicated where desired by numer-
fcal index in feet, which can be at
tach@i to the Inachine.-St. Louis Re-

A Cur,o.s Christian Name.

In the Canterbury Diocesan Gazette
there is an interesting and authentic
record of the use OF Acts of the Apostles
~ Christian name. The entries are in
the registers OF BoughtoSunderB Blean.
Actsapostle, son of Thomas and Eliza.
beth Pegden. from Dunkirk, was hap.
tized August .. 1875. and the burial OF
this Actsapos,le Pegdcn, aged 10 years,
took place November IA. 1858. The
name seems to have been Abbreviated To
Actsy, for the vicar of Roughton has
heard n parishioner speak of her uncle

MIN OF BUTTER AND EGGS,
HoiAanA's Farmer Folk Were Too
A0DA for Spain's HAAShtS
DoAs.

When Philip II. debated the question
OF coercing with fire and sword the
Dutchman who did not like the Spanish
inQuisition or taxes, which they them
selves did not vote, the duke of Alva
counseled violent measures, for in his
eyes the rebels We're only ''men of but
ter" Nevertheless he found that these
men 80 fond of cows and hens could
hold his veterans at bay, finally over
come them in the field and after so
years leave poor Spain "a broken
backed tiger"
Indeed. in time of war country folk
with baskets of eggs and butter ex-
cited no suspicion, even to alert senti-
nels. Taking advantage OF this fact,
Sir Francis We're determined to recap
ture from the Spaniards the Zutphen
sconces, or forts. by stratagem. In
1891 he picked out some lus,y and hand
some young soldiers and dressed most
Of them like the Gelderland egg wom-
en- and the rest as beers. With bundles
Of vegetables, baskets of eggs and but
ter, but also with triggers and pistols
inside their clothes, they We're ferried
across the river by twos and threes
They sat near the gate of the fort, be
ing already, at the brink of day, chat
ting and eesticulating, as if in some
tremendous argument about the rise
or fall of market prices. Then, accord
ing to agreement, We're sent some cav,
airy forward, as il approaching, and the
pretended country people ran il
feigned terror toward the fort. The
gates were at once thrown open to re
ceive them. They all streamed in. threw
OF their disguises and in few min
utes were in possession of the forts oil

Sidney afterwards lost his life-by be-

QUEER INSURANCE CASES.
lAstaaess In which the Sadly Dfa
matte Has Been Upper
most

A good story is told of betting man
who was in the habit of regularly pur-
chasing a railway insurance ticket
whenever he went on his travels. Once
he failed to do so, and his train was
in imminent danger. His disgust knew
no bounds. Here | have been betting
on this coming OF all my life" he said,
'.and now that il has, - if I've got a
bit on!"
There is one sadly dramatic history
associated with an insurance ticket. A
gentleman purchased one prior to
starting on a journey, and. as is fire.
quently done, posted it home to his wife
from the departure station. The ticket
was delivered simultaneously with an
intimation from the railway company
announcing that he had lost his life in
q railway accident.
In the case Of the Tay bridge disaster
an insurance ticket was discovered up
on the body of one of the victims. The
ticket had been reduced TO absolute
pulp by the action of the sea water, but
under 6 microscope the printing could
still be traced. The company there
upon hl1nllteu lit Clal1n ana tulE paid
over the amour: ot the insurance
money.
After the death of one victim of a
railway accident his estate was proved
at { 900 rs Id. An insurance ticket
represented the pounds" column of
the above figures. while his personal
estate" accounted for the remaining
seven shillings one pence.
One man in passing under low arch
way slightly forced his hat down over
his eyes and straighway died from a
fracture of the skull. /, was found
afterward that his headpiece was of
such abnormal thinness that the light
est blow thereon at any period of his
life must infalhbly have proved fatal
And yet he reached middle age.
Another gentleman, also policy
holder, exhibited totally opposite quail
tiles. He fractured his skull by fall
but walked about in complete igno-
rance of the fact for six weeks AT the
end of that time he became i'll and
died.-Railway Magazine.

"Up to about 125 years ago the prac-
tice of taking out insurance on the
lives of kings, queens and others In
authority, where there was no possible
insurable interest, obtained to q great
EXTENT" said the professor when his
attention was called to the paragraph.
1.-THE practice became so general,
scandalous and vicious that in 1774
parliament enacted o statute IA Geo.

to the beneficiary in the life of the

most of the states of this country, and
has since been rigidly enforced every

The amount of life insurance carried

master General John Wanamaker OF
Philadelphia and his insurance

''only' applies here because of the
comparison with s4S, 600, 900, or, to be
more accurate, S4S, 775, 900, according
to the present market value here of

tional Life Underwriters association
in Philadelphia four years ago Mr..
Wansmsker stated that one of the first
things he did after becoming of age
was to insure his life. When Mr..
Wanamsker addressed the association
his life insurance amounted to 81, 525,-
600. and all but $50, 900 had been taken
after he was so years of age.

notably those OF the dirigible balloon
OF the SantOs-Dumont, which made q
free ascension from Paris IN Septem-
Der last year, and the airship built ia
1885 for the French Military Balloon
Corps, which attained speed of
about twelve and a half miles an hour
and returned several times to it's
point of departure. In one respect
Count Zeppelin has made radical
departure from the ideas of
some men who have given much at
tention TO air navigation. 1t has been
commended that aluminium would prove
inferior to steel or even to the best
spruce as the framework for an cir
ship, but aluminium forms the entire
frame Of the Zeppelin construction.
Major Baden-Powell, who saw the
slender skeleton after it had been put
together on the floating dock all ready
for the outer covering. said that it sug-
gested stupendous bird cage. With
In this covered frame, sharply pointed
at bow and stern, are the balloons that
will give the necessary buoyancy and
beneath are the aluminum gallery and
cars and the engines that are to drive
the vessel. The total lift
ing capacity will be about
ten tons, four times the buoyancy of
the French military balloon; and in all
its proportions this immense contriv-
ance surpasses it's predecessors as the
Oceanic does an ordinary steamer.
1t is estimated that the engines will
drive the vessel at the rate of twenty
two miles an hour. This is slow speed
in these days, but if the idea of the
vessel Is correct improvements in such
details are sure to follow. What is
wanted is an airship, and the rate of
speed in the successful pioneer vessel |
is OF subordinate Importance. So
much money and skill have never be- |
fore been expended on such an enter
prise and the results of the Investment |

WILL 1T FLY?
The Huge Airship of Count Zeppe-
1in

The dirigible airship which General
Count Zeppelin has been building on
the shore of Lake Constance, near
Meersburg, Baden, is nearly completed
and its designer and the scien tific men
who have approved his plans are conf
dent that it will soon be ploughing til c
air, not as the wind listeth, but as til e
man at the steering apparatus directs.
Practical builders of airships
have not often dsolsred to that make It
them of great size in order to demon
citrate their qualities. The Zeppelin
contrivsnce, however, is leviathan in
its way, as large as most battleships.
and on the day it Is set afoat its entire
cost will be something over $500, 600,
including the shed, more than 200
feet long, built out over the lake on
pontoons, in which the great ship has
been put together. The fact that 80
large a sum could be raised to test the
value of the Invention shows aoound1ng
faith in its practicsbility. The money
was not raised until q commission, in
Guiding many of the leading scientific
experts of Germany. had unre-
servedly indorsed the plans
and the aeronautic societies
of the empire, with that of Wurtem-
berg at the head, are behind the enter
prise. The airship, therefore, has the
approval of the most skilled talent en-
gagged in the study of aerOstatics. 1t
is regarded as the best outcome of the
experiments made in recent years in
the building of dirigible air vessels,
and If it fails to be practicable it will
merely prove that theory and expert
ment up to this time are not adequate
for the production of satisfactory re-
suits.
The airship embodies not only the
original ideas of it's inventor but also
suggested by the per-
formsnces of some of its predecessors,
