STRANGE HoNEYMooNs.
Unusual Trips Made by Adventurou'
Newly Married Couples.


Newly Married Couples.
The wedding tour in a balloon. SO
graphically described by Nine. Camille
Flammarion in the current number OF
the Strand, is by no means the only
curious honeymoon on record. A short
while since an adventurous couple
spent their first days of welded life
on the summit of Mont Blanc. The
ascent, extremely hazardous by reason
OF terrific snowstorms. being success
fully accomplished, and the summit
reached. the bridegroom, in the pres
ence of the guides, embraced his young
wife, to whom he swore eternal fidel-
ity. and received from her lips an
equally fervent assurance. Then the
descent was commenced. and the
couple, after nearly three days ab-
sence. arrived at ChamouniN, where
they were accorded an enthusiastic re-
ception. In the neighborhood OF Dobs-
chau, Ii small Hungarian town, there
is an extraordinary ice cave. The roof.
the walls. the floor are thickly coated
with ice, which in places assumes most
fantastic shapes. In this cave, some
sixteen years ago, couple named
kolcsey elected to pass the week i'm
mediately following their marriage.
They took with them a plentiful sup
ply of rugs, blankets and warm cloth
ing. but Notwithstanding all precau-
tions, their experience was not of q
sufficiently pleasant nature to tempt
imitators. A walking tour may be made
an endurable honeymoon, but to con-
vert the latter into walking match
seems sadly incongruous with the rites
of Hymen. Such, however, was not
the opinion OF one James Muir and his
young bride, who were united in we'd
lock last autumn. While counting they
had taken many long walk togeth-
er. during which a contention had
arisen respecting their pedestrian abil-
Ity SO high did this pickering run
that they resolved, as soon as they
were married, to put their respective
claims to the test by walking from
London to Exeter, the bride being al
lowed to go by train to Basingstoke,
distance of i73i miles. No sooner
had the knot been tied than the new
ly-married wife took a cab to the sta
ton, while the husband started off
westward at a good pace. In the re-
suit the latter was ungallant enough
to win by over two miles. though the
lady kept the lead until Honiton. 16k
miles from the goal. was passed.

relegrnphlo TypewrIters.

An invention recently exhibited at a
conyersazione of the British Royal So
ctety seems likely, so far as private
house-to- house calls are concerned, to
supersede the telephone. This con-
triyance is telegraphic recorder, with
out battery, invented by a Mr..
Stelges. 1t requires no skill, and
typewrites the message on the desk

identical copy in the hands of the
sender 1t is such a revolution in
telegraphy that the postoffice, on the
advice of w. Fl. Preece, has adopted it,
and will install 1t wherever required

mits a message or signal and makes a
permanent and indisputable record OF
the order sent. and the fact that It rs
independent of batteries will make II
very useful in warm climates. For
Mr.. Rhodes. in his Cape Town to
Cairo connection, this should prove
most valuable. and 1t is understood
that DR.. Jamesons present visit to
this country is concerned with securing
the concession for Africa.

POWER FROM THE NILE.
Vast Possibilities of Suitable Use of ths


Professor George Forbes, says Lon
don Engineering, is reported to have
said to an interviewer, in reference to
his Nile power scheme. that power
could very easily be generated at the
First Cataract, where Assouan, one of
the most important towns in Egypt,
is situated, 10 supply electricity for
pumping purposes for the irrigation
OF Egypt proper. This would certain
ly be the most important application
of 1t at this juncture, but the power
could also be introduced into the sugar
factories and other works at Assouan
and elsewhere. and also utilized for
electric light. railways and tramways,
which could be worked from there.
With the facility of large pumping OPP
erations by means of electric power.
1t would be possible to reclaim vast
areas of good soil which are at pres
ent above the reach of the existing
Irrigation canals. At the Second Cata.
Tact, which is situated just above
Wady Halfa, power could be develop
ed TO any extent that is likely to be re-
Qured. Its chief value here would
be for working the two railways that
have been built by the Sirdar-onc fol-
lowing the course of the Nile toward
Dongola. the other running across the
desert TO Anu liainlu, ana thence,
when completed, to Kartoum. But In
order to work this last railway with
the best economy, it would be neces-
sary to make use OF the Fifth and
Sixth Cataracts in addition. These
Professor Forbes had not examined,
and consequently did not know what
their capabilities We're. Near the
Third Cataract is n place called Kni-
Der. There Il reef of granite runs
across the river, and IS entirely COW
cred by the water when in flood.
while in summer all the water flows
through three channels in the reef
At this point n dam could easily be
built, not only for impounding the wa
ter in n reservoir but also for assist
ing the irrigation at low water in
Egypt proper. nnd to work machinery
for generating electric power. This
would be applied partly to the work
ing of The first railway referred TO
above and partly to pumping opera
tions in the Dongola province. This
province appeared to Professor Forbes
TO he capable of being made one of the
most fertile regions Of the world. Pro
fessor Forbes has submitted this re-
port to the Egyptian government. and
II remains to be seen what viii be the
outcome.

had thrown himself down on the di-

A few minutes later the boys and

greet them cordially. Since he had
started on the downward path he had

we must protect them from disease.

on Jacks face when three neatly
dressed old ladies, all wearing side
curls, bowed themselves smilingly into
the room. The boys seemed to be
struck dumb and I was left to do all

ins were excellent listeners, but they
could rot do much at talking.

talk about, and managed 20 keep up

Miss May was as nice as she was
pretty and 1 enjoyed the evening very
much, but when 1 went upstairs
didn't mention her to the other boys.
For some reason or other they never
met her; perhaps because they went
cut earlier and came home later from
work than she did. She was music
teacher. But they continually laughed
at me for calling on the Misses Jenk-
ins three times week.
