DON'T SPEAK AS THEY PASS.
St. Louis MotOrman and Conductor Have Worked Together in Si-
 fence for Three Years.

Like the two De Cadeau brothers, who are said to have lived for years in the same chateau in southern France without even exchanging a. word, are Conductor William Walsh and Motor man Benjamin Lindsay, who operate the single ear which runs on spur of the Suburban railway over Union ave- nue to Forest Park.
 In the three long years during which the two street railway men have run the car they have not been upon speak ing terms, and although their duties throw them constantly together, never a word is exchanged between them. It is not because the men are dumb, for both are good conversationalists. The cause of the silence is coolness which has existed between them for three years. Before that time Bill and Ben were known as inseparable-in fact, had been schoolmates together-and had purposely arranged it so as they might operate upon the same line.
 The primary cause of the estrange- ment is not known even to the most in- innate friends of the men. It is be- heyed to have been some trivial affair, which an explanation would easily have set right. Both, however, felt too much pride to take that step. The first in- timation that anything was aniss be- tween the two which their acquaint- ances and fellow-employes had was that they were not seen as much to- gether after working hours and ceased to visit each other.
 It last, so it is said by employees of the road, Walsh reported his erstwhile friend for some slight fault, and, a few weeks after Lindsay reported Walsh for the same error. From that time on greetings and conversations were at an end between the two men.
 Among the other employees of the line the two are spoken of as the "mutes." They furnish much merri- ment to their fellow-workmen, who have many wagers up as to which shall first break the silence.
 At noon when it is time for the mo- torneer to eat his dinner, the conductor goes to the front platform and touches him on the shoulder with his finger. The signal is readily understood. Lind say leaves his post and while dining Walsh takes charge of the car On his return the conductor takes his leave This thing is kept up for 565 days in the year Both men have been i'll the service of the company for many years, and the managers say that both stand high upon tho books.-St- Louis Re public. .>.a-.A-. - -------->

THE LATEST KLONDIKE.
Some NnterestfnE Particulars About
 CNPe Nome in Far Away Alaska

Cape Nome, on the northern Alaska coast, is now the place which figures largest in the hopes and dreams of gold seekers and fortune hunters throughout the world. Discoveries quite unprecedented in the history of gold mining have been made on the sea beach and the adjacent region at this point.
 The existence of gold at Cape Nome wns made known only a few months ago, but the rush in this direction has been very great recently, and the re zion is now hive of industry. The set clement here called Anvil City is only a few months old, and now has a popula- tion of over 5000. All kinds of busi- ness are booming, and corner lots, lum- Der, fuel. mining equipment and pro visions are up to sky prices.
 Old miners declare Cape Nome to be the most wonderful placer camp ever discovered. Fabulous stories are told of the riches found in the sand of the beach and in the gulches and creeks thereabout. One miner named Lind bloom, who returned to Seattle few days ago, cleared up S1OO,000 during the present season, and has refused SS0O,- GOO in cash for his holdings. A single nugget worth $i50 was taken from enc of his claims recently. Another man from Sioux City. la, has brought down 10 Seattle with him $S,000 in dust taken from space 45 feet square on Cape  Nome beach. The storekeepers at An vii City are said to have refused to ac- sept any more dust, as their vaults and safes are full.-EeSlie's Weekly.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The vegetable ivory of Ecuador is the nut of a native palm. The exports amount to 11,500 tons per annum, of which two-thirds go to Germany and one-sixth to the United States.
 The German firm of Krupp are said to be making trial of some light ive-cen- timeter field pieces which are con- structed of compressed paper. The good service of paper in car wheels sug- gested the experiment.
 A Chicago workingman has discoy- cred a process by which plate glass can be made from slag, the waste material in iron and steel manufacture, and the federal steel trust proposes to build a plant to turn out the new product.
 A glass factory has been started at St. Helens, England, in which the whole system of blowing is replaced by an blowpipes worked by compressed air. The output has been much increased.
 Press dispatches report the success full trial of telephone apparatus, with out wires, from moving trains. by Prof. D'Avar, of Rome, Italy. According to accounts several trials have been mad on trains running northward from that city.
 One great reason for the popularity of the automobile is that it can be more readily managed by women than horse drawn vehicles. Many women object to driving horses on account of their liability 10 shy or bolt. The automo- bile offers marked advantages in this respect, but no lady should try running an automobile until she thoroughly un- derstands the mechanism.
 At the southern entrance to the Suez canal, at Port Tewfik, there is an oil installation. The oil is stored in vast quantities in tanks for use either by ships or in houses. The tanks each have a capacity of 4,0O0 tons of liquid fuel for such steamers as may be fitted to burn it. Special trucks are provided for sending oil by rail and the wants of the neighborhood are supplied by small oil tanks.

PROVISIONS AGAINST FIRE.
The Restrictions to Be Enforced by the French Authorities at the
 Paris Exposition,

Intending exhibitors and visitors from the United States to the Paris ex- position in 1900 will be interested in knowing what arrangements and regu- lations will be made by the French authorities against fire. The Paris ex- position administration has taken all the measures possible to afford security to exhibitors and visitors against fire at the exposition. The regulations are rather yoluninous, containing 36 ar ticles distributed in six chapters. These regulations take up the openings and exits and the stairways and doors of all palaces and buildings. They regulate the width of doors and steps. All ex- terior doors will open in and out. Doors opening only inward must re- main open constantly. Emergency doors will bear an inscription stating their purpose, and in all railways and corridors painted arrows will indicate the direction of the exit. An emer- gency lighting system for night use will consist of. lamps of one-candle power, bearing the distinctive red color. All wood of the framework in the build ings will be covered with an insulating coat of non-inflammable material. All stairways will be of fireproof material, the floors of all buildings, palaces, the ater halls, cafes, concert rooms, ex- hibition places and all railings and bal ustrades will also be of fireproof ma- terial and before accepted will be thor oughly tested at the expense of the contractors. All decorative canvas, awnings and canvas coverings must be fireproof. All electric installation of cables, lamps, wires and conductors in the interior of the buildings must be put up under the supervision of the director of exploitation. All motive powerwill be admitted only under rigid conditions. The use of celluloid in lamps, globes, balloons and other fancy apparatus for lighting decoration will be forbidden. The regulations for heat ing and lighting provide that it can only be done by gas and electricity. The use of hydrocarbures, oils and petro- leum, acetylene gas and other gases than coal gas is positively forbidden, either for heating, lighting or motive power. The construction of meeting halls, cafes, concert halls and theaters must be of freproof material, and the theateT curtains must be of iron or asbestos cloth. The lighting of such places will be exclusively by electricity. A fire service as nearly perfect as pos sible will be established. with water piping and pressure sufficient for fire mems service. The administration as- sumes the right to enforce any meas ures that may be deemed necessary to assure safety.-Iron Age.
