LONDON BANK HOLIDAYS.
Business Is Done by the
Railway Companies.

All things considered, it is best not
to lie u railway booking-office clerk dur
ing the August bank holiday rush.
From morning till evening for three
solid DAYS there lave been unhroken
professions of holiday makers making
their way to the ticket windows at all
the London stations, and the clerks have
known the rest. Exactly how many
tickets have been deated and delivered
by the sorely-tried officials behind the
peep holes caNot be told, for many of
the companies have not been able to
cope with the mass of figures presented
TO them, but it must be nearly a million.
Five companies issued at their London
stations from Friday till moo yester-
day some 5000 tickets. and this leaves
out of account great lines like the Lon
don & Southwestern, Brighton & South
Hoast, the Great Northern, and others,
all carrying an enormous traffic. With
out exception the companies announce
that the holiday traffic has been I'M
p~recedentedly heavy. The prospect of
line weather brought out the cyclists
in great force. No fewer than 1890
cycles were booked for Waterloo alone,
necessitating the provision of special
Il n for their conveyance on al the
principal trains, and as many from Pad
Gington.
Where the figures are available, they
tell an extraordinary story. Thus, the
amalgamated Southeastern & Chatham
and Dover railways dispatched from
London stations 11S,S39 passengers
during the three days. The Great East
ern railway carried 133.C62 passengers
1000 more than last year-the most
favored resort on the line being South
end. where 10000 persons were deliv-
cred. while many thousands made for
EPping Forest, Rye House, etc. South
end. indeed, must have Eeen terribly
congested with people. for yesterday
the Tilbury & Southend railway ran As
special trains. carrying 10000 passen-
gers. along their line. not counting the
LOGO who came by the through Mid
land route.-London Telegraph.

PAPER FROM FLORIDA PINES
Another Former Waste Product That
Is Now Turned to Good
ADVANTAGE,

An o~dd-looking piece of machinery
over which the negro longshoremen en-
ployed on the Clyde steamship docks
tugged and perspired in their efforts
to place it on the cars of the Florida
Central & Peninsula railroad attracted
considerable attention recently, and
many inquiries were made about it. 1t
was what is known to the paper manu-
featuring trade as a clipper, and is the
first of its kind ever shipped to Florida.
The machine weighed eight tons and
was to be used in crushing pine into
pulp for papermakiGg. g
What makes it of peculiar interest is
the fact that it marks the introduction
OF one of the most important industries
OF the country to the state of Florida,
Il is the forerunner of a much larger
plant to be erected at Pensacola in a
short time. \ gentleman who is inter-
ested in the Pensacola factory to some
extent, and whose brother is a leading
stakeholder, say that it will be only
n matter of time when Florida will be
n of the leading centers of the paper
manufacture of the country. The secret
of the shipment of this piece of ma
chinery lies in the fact that it has been
demonstrated beyond the shadow of a
doubt that paper can be made at a
profit out of pine fiber through a proc
ess but recently invented by a southern
inventor, whose name is Thomas, which
enables those possessed of the secret TO
eliminate the resin from The wood.
This process is known to but three per-
sons. and it has been decided to keep
this secret among three persons rather
than to expose it by putting the patent
on file in the patent office.
The factory erected in Pensacola will
have, when.everything is completed ard
the machinery all in place, a capacity of
four tons daily. While this will amount
to quite an output in the course of q
year, it is a comparatively small plant.
Just at present nothing is being made
except what is known as manila paper.
1t is, however. of excellent quality, and
can be made at a cost that will cradle
4 to compete with any part of the Unit
ed States in quality and cheapness of
manufacture. The material from which
tie paper car be made is abundant, and
goods made in Jacksonville can be de-
liyered in New York city or Boston at
least as cheaply as from the mills at
IIolyoke, Mass. Most of the northern
mills have to pay as high as eight to ten
dollars per cord for the wood required
by them for the manufacture of wood
pulp. The material to be used in Flor
ida is pine slabs. the refuse of the mills,
and can be had for almost nothing, SO
that what is now practically a waste
product will be utilized, immense ere
matories having to be constructed to
destroy it. \ sample of the paper in
the unfinished state, manufactured
from the material. on being torn apart
disclosed a fiber that had the appear
ance of canton flannel. Nashville

VORLCIOUS MUSKELLUNGE.
The Fish Is an Organized Appetite
and VIII Bite mt Any
thing.

The fall crop of fish stories is ripe.
and the yield is heavy. No one has bet
ter samples to show than DIR. o. w.
Nixon, who has been on his annual trip
to Manitowish after muskellunge. DIR.
Nixon saws the ''musky" is an organ
lied appetite, and tells some very inter-
esting tales to show the righteousness
of the fish. They will eat almost any
thing, and have driven out or devoured
all the other fish except the pike, and
DO not hesitate to dine off the latter
whenever practicable. DR.. Nixon's
first story TO illustrate their appetite
is this:
I'VE were still-fshing in a pike hole.
and my brother got a good strike. The
fish got under the BOA and broke his
line. The next morning, WHEN we
started out, my brother jokingly noti-
fled us all that if anyone caught that
fish with his hook in him he should
claim it. Not more than 500 feet from
the same hole DR.. Talbot got a good fish
and landed him. 1t was my brothers
fish. His hook. sinker and four or five
feet of line were in plain evidence. A
fish must be hungry to bite the text day
with all that in his internal machinery.
But the mere fact that a musky has
Il single hook in him will not satisfy
him; neither will a spoon hook. l nee
found a man sitting on the bank discon-
ISOLATE. \ musky had taken his
last spoon hook, and pretty much
all his line. While he was tell
ing me | get a strike and land
ed the fish. He had 80 or 60 feet of line
attached to him, ard a spoon hook in
his mouth. The man on the bank iden-
tilted his property, got it, and went to
fishing again.
Two more instances and 1 think 1
have proved my point. 1 have seen a
muskellUnge dart out of the reeds and
bite at the bright copper binding on an
oar and then take a spoon hook playing
behind the boat. But the most remark
able example of the Unsuitable appetite
of the muskellunge was a fish caught
by Clarence Peck. When he was land
ed in the BOAT there were feathers
sticking out of his mouth. We cut him
open and there was a full grown mud
hen inside of him. The process of diges-
ton had not yet begun, and yet the fish
had bit at another bait."-Chicago In.

MIXING CCLCRS.
How Wonderful Varieties of Shades
are Made from u Few
Primary COlOrs.

Fashions in silk fabrics. ribbons ana
issuance from Paris CT what are known
us color cards. Two sets of these cards
are sent out to various countries. One
series governs the colors of dress goods
and cloaks. The other influences the
feather and ribbon trade. The cards
are issued under the authority OF l
syndicate representing the leading
manufacturers of France. Twice Il
year the chemists of Lyons prepare
;hcir various dyes in advance of the
manufacturing season. These are
submitted to the manufacturers, who
make their selections of shades and
order such quantities Of the dye stufi>
as may be required for the output of
their looms. The chemists then pro.
coed TO make up the large quantitie.
Of dye used in commerce.. When :he
fabrics have BEEN made and dyed. small
samples are cut and mounted on card
board. This is what is known as the
color card. One of the most astonish-
ing features attaching to the mixing
CT colOrs for textile purposes is the
endless variety of tints and shades
which can be produced by The com
bination of W. or three dyestu1fs. y
si,illful co!orist, with possibly 20 of
the thousands of colors known, can
produce Il thousand different shades
by the simple plan of varying the pro-
portions he uses. For instance. the
three dyes known in the trade az

liant cochineal Pr. afford him the
means of cffecting some remarkable
shading. y proportion of O.45 blue.
3.5 range and 2. of the red will give
him n deep nut brown of Il reddish
hue; OBS blue. 3.5 orange and d. of
red produces a brown of an olive tone;
O.01 blue, 0.05 orang and DOS CT the
dye, Il pale plum color: OILS of blue,
2.5 orange and is of the red dyes a
fine violet black: OBS of the blue. OILS
of the orange and red produces Il vio-
let; 1.2 of the red. OBJ of the orange
and 0.2i of the blue gives a good red
shade of plum. Not only can the dyer
and c~olorist produce various tints and
shades by varying the relative prcpor-
tons of dyes, but by using different
quantities of coloring matter to his
cloths he car dye a range Of shades.
Thus with the same proportion of each
dye he may obtain a light gray, n
medium gray or a greenish stone; a
lawn brown, a pale nut brown and
dark chestnut; a sea green tint, or a
deep leaf green. and so on. In this
fects are often produced by the use Of
less than q dozen dyestuifs.-Boston

ComDoxitiOn on breathing,

\ boy. ii years old. who was told TO
write all he could about breathing in a
composition. handed in the following:
"Breath is made of air. We breath
with our lungs. Our lights. our liver and
kidneys. If it wasn't for our breath we
would die when we sleep. Our breath
keeps the life a-going through the nose
when we are asleep. Boy that stay in

should wait until they get outdoors.

Ten Miles nm Hour by Rail Forty.
Seven Years Ago Wns Great
Speed.

Il IA greatly interested the other
day." said a passenger conductor who
runs into New Orleans, "in looking over
an old schedule of the South Carolina
railroad, printed just Al years ago, in
the fall of 80. 1t is hard to realize what
tremendous changes have taken place
within the memory of people who are
now alive and hearty. In the SOS the
South Carolina was considered n of
the best equipped and fastest roads in
the country. l find by the old schedule
that the night express between Charles
ton and Columbia. which is a distance
of about 100 miles, made the trip when
it had good luck in IL hours and Is min
utes, but the public was warned not
to expect such a feat every day. The
freight service between the two points
was scheduled to cover the run in %
hours, there Or whereabouts. That was
a shade better than AZ miles an
hour, and was considered so fast that
there is a special order 20 trainmen
TO stop at the first siding in dense fogs
and wait for same TO lift 1t seems to
me that order gives one a wonderful pic
ture of the good old times. Think of a
through freight roosting on a siding,
waiting for a fog to lift! Nowadays the
passenger trains make the run from
Charleston to Columbia in four hours
exactly. According to the 80 schedule.
there was an express that left Charles
ton at five p. m. and arrived at Hamburg
at six the following morning. The dis
lance is 1876 miles. A freight for Aiken,
100 miles away, left at the same hour.
and reached its destination at 9:40 next
night. Ten miles an hour was consid-
cred remarkable speed for passenger
trains in those days, and an old iBhab-
liant told me that many people declined
to risk their necks at such a gait. From
what / hear of the rolling stock equip
m-nt. they showed their good sense"
