the Lady Inger in Lady Inger Of Os-
traat," the Ellida Wangel in The Lady
from the Sea-" and the Rebecca in
"Rosmersholm." One OF her last roles
was Mrs. Borkman in John Gabriel
Borkman." Mrs. G%undersen possessed
a wonderfully clear and melodious
voice, which she preserved to the last
Her voice is now silent, but her name
will ever remain as the greatest in the
annals of Norwegian dramatic art in
the present century. In 1864 Mrs. Gun
dersen, then Miss %Svendsen, married
Mr.. Sigvard Gundersen, the Norwegian
actor, who has won his greatest laurels
by the side of his gifted wife as
Othello, Macbeth, Faust and in other
leading parts in the classic and modern
drama. Mr.. Gundersen intends shortly
to retire from the stage.
About ten years ago Mrs. Gundersen
visited London for the first and only
time a her life. She, became a great
admirer of Miss Ellen Terry, who at
the time was playing Lady Macbeth.
Mrs. Gundersen was invited one even
ing to the Lyceum, and it was arranged
that she should pay Sir (then Mr.)
Henry Irving and Miss Terry a short
visit behind the scenes in an en-
tr'acte. In order to avoid the long way
round to the stage door she was con-
Quoted through a private door leading
from the stalls. The whole stage,
which just then was being arranged for
a battlefield, was covered with fallen
warriors, and it seemed impossible for
a lady to find her way among them.
But Mrs. Gundersen did not hesitate;
she lifted her skirts, stepped carefully
over the outstretched bodies, which APP
p~arently had been arranged with an
eye to effect, and safely reached the
wings on the opposite side just as Sir
Henry, in the pictures iue dress of the
Scottish chieftain, arrived to receive
his visitor. She had scarcely been in
troduced to him before Miss Terry ap-
peared, ready dressed for the sleep
walking scene. In the most solemn
manner Mrs. Gundersen's friend, who
accompanied her, introduced the two
great artists to each otheer: THE
Norwegian Lady Macbeth-the English
Lady Macbeth"

Dana Osgood, who had won renown as
an athlete and football player while at
the University Of Pennsylvania. The
most formidable piece OF artillery was
a Hotchkiss rife, capable Of hurting a
12-pound shell. Later dynamite guns
were brought into service by Funston,
to the great distress OF the enemy.
After much hard fighting and q brill
liant chOrge led by Col. Menocal, a
graduate Of Cornell, now chief Of police
in Havana, the largest fertilization was
taken. The Hotchkiss gun was plant
ed in this position Of vantage and a de-

cations. Unfortunately the brave o.
good exposed himself to the Spanish
fire and fell with a bullet hole through
his brain.
Funston then took command OF the
artillery. a position to which he was
appointed by Gen. Gomez. A few days
later he and Col. Estrampes, a New
Orleans boy of high position, led a
charge against the enemy, each carry
ing a dynamite bomb in his hand, tC

could be done a white flag was hoisted
and Guimaro surrendered.

william Henry Preece, chief cleo
trical engineer of the British govern
ment, recently read a paper before the
London Society of Arts upon etheric
telegraphy. Referring to the expert
ments conducted by Prot. Marconi,
he said that both the board OF
trade and the p~ostofice department
had informed the officers of the Mar
conf company Of readiness to make a
test Of his system between the South
Sand Head lightship and Dover. In
spite Ct these offers the Marconi COM
pany had preferred to experiment else
where, and to prove what was not
necessary to be proved, to-wit, that it
Is possible to signal across the straits
Of Dover. The result is that two years
after the practicability of such sig
mailing had been shown not one single
independent circuit exists. The oper-
ations of the Marconi company, added
Mr.. Preese, are concentrated more
upon the operations Of the stock ex-
change than upon the establishment Of
useful circuits.

The daring exploits Of Colonel Fred
erick Funston in the Philippine cam
paign have been briefly referred to dur
ing the war in the East, but the ro-
nance Of that gallant soldier Of fortune
would make a novel worthy Of Dumas
or Balsac. His bold and courageous
attack upon 5000 insurgents with only
20 Of his plucky Kansas volunteers,
amid a shower Of Mauser bullets. a few
days ago, is only one Of the undertake
inRs that has marked the romantic ca
reer Of this hero.
Colonel Funston was born in Ohio in
1866, and after a brief schooling de-
cided to shift for himself. He began
his career as a Santa Fe trai1 collector,
and half a dozen cowboys in New Mex
leo and Colorado and western Kansas
who laughed at the little toy collector,
as they termed him. put their faces in
court plaster and bought new guns
One Of his favorite pastimes was to
disarm burly cowboys who insisted on
shooting holes through the roof Of the
smoker.
firing OF this work, he secured a po-
sltion as botanist in the agricultural
department at Washington, end was
assigned to the Death valley expedition
which was sent to survey that fearful
alkali waste in southern California,
where the temperature rang r. above 90
degrees Fahrenheit all the year round
1t was a fearful trip. Every man who
went in that expedition except Funs-
ton is either dead or insane.
One day Funston started across the
desert, 1876 miles, after the mail; he
got lost; the canister Of water gave
out, his horse fell under him, and for
t%wenty-four hours he walked without
food or water with the temperature
registering 10 and the sun beating
down upon him. He dared not lie down
and rest, and his mind began to deceive

Advertising.
New York Sun: Reproductions Of
photographs from live models are
superseding the designs Of draughts-
men in certain kinds Of advertising.
This change may come from TIE ne
cessity for greater accuracy OF in re-
Spouse to a public demand. It Is no
ticeable that the male models en-
ployed for this purpose exhibit far
better physical development than
those of the other sex. There is one
picture in particular used to call at
tention to an athletic device, in
which a mans nude back, evidently
from an untouched photograph, neg
alive shows the physical perfection Of
an antique. A similar presentation of
the back of a modern woman would
reveal emphatically the superiority OF
the male figure. To exhibit the back
Of a modern woman with the same
frankness would require considerable
retouching of the Photographic mega
tive to make it presentable. The
truth of the matter is that the mod
ern female figure has been so abused
by the ~exigencfes of fashion, the re-
preston Of lines here or their exag-
geration there, that it has become
nothing more than an artificial con-

A very interesting refrigerating plant
has been installed in the great market
buildings in Vienna, which, although
there are other and as important
plants elsewhere, possesses features
that render it worthy of notice. As the
plant is intended merely to maintain
a low temperature, without reaching
the freezing point, thus providing stor-
age rooms cool enough to insure the
proper preservation OF meats and other
market articles, and at the same time
avoiding the objections OF too low tenn
perature, the indirect system is
adopted, cooled air being distributed
through the storage chambers by a
forced circulation. The re%frigerating

Marrying Age In ENGLAND.

The most dangerous g for a bach
elor is something under twenty-six
and a half-to be accurate, 2G.35. a the
British Registrar General dryly prints
1t In his statistical return. The most
ervou and delightful age for a woman
is something over t%wenty-four and a
half-24.59. That is to say, 1t was at
those precise ages that the average
bachelor Of the year and the average
maid became one. The British baehe-
Tor, however, grows more wary year by
year. He was older in 1897 than In
1886 when he fell into the tolls. The
average bachelor was married in 1895
at 26.SO years Of age-quite .O5 less.
The girl, too, has to wait longer now
than she used. She was one-quarter of
a year younger in 1896, when she be-
came a wife than 1897. There has been
a decided slump in widows and widow
ers Of late. In 1871. 1888 husbands and 100
wives in every 1000 were widowers
and widows respectively. Things have
changed now; there were but SO widow
ers and So widows in every 1000 mar
riages in 1897.

sounds tom a balloon.

A writer Of the Strand Magazine de-
scribes the astonishment he expert
enced when, riding over London in a
balloon, at a height Of more than half
a mile, he heard the deafening roar
Of the great city beneath him as It
could not be heard on the ground. The
noise, even at that height, was so
harsh and intense as to be painful to
the ear. How perfect a sound con-
duetor the air is was shown when the
balloon drifted far over the city to
a wooded part Of the country, where
the murmur Of the leaves moved by
the wind half a mile below was dis
tinetly heard.

ing. This is exempliied in those ad-
vertiagments in which female models
are employed to display knit under
garments. as compared to those that
exhibit the fit and form of corsets,

which are frankly displayed, suggest
anything but grace and harmony,
while those models used as a frame
work upon which to hang garments
convey the impression of supple and
graceful outline. French and English
technical journals use this form Of
publicity as much as we do. but they
give no evidence that the foreign type
