THE EMPEROR SUFFERED.
Royal FamiIy's Hardships in Fleeing
From Pektn.

Tacoma, Wash, October 22.-The Ori-
entail liner Glenogle. reached Tacoma
last night and brings an interesting story
of the flight of the Empress Dowager
from Pekin. The escape of the court
furnishes one of the most enhancing
stories OF the Chinese campaign. The
Shanghai Mercury tells the story as fol-
lows:
ut appears that in accordance with
the regular practice OF the Chinese ofic-
ials in similar cases, false reports OF sup
positions Victories over the allies were
persistently rendered to the palace, with
the result that the court was lulled into
a feeling of fancied security and 1t was
not until the allies had actually entered
the capital that the real facts became
known to the Empress and a rude
awakening took place.
On the early morning of August 8th
the Dowager in company with the En-
peror, left the palace clothed in common
Chinese cotton garments, travelling in
an ordinary Chinese cart and accom-
panied by an Insignificant retinue Such
was the hurry of their departure that no
money or valuables in any quantity
were taken with them and for several
days the imperial party is said to have
suffered great hardships. The only
food with which they were supplied
was the common miIlet OF the country,
and at night they had to sleep in way
side inns on the rough brick Range, FUR
nished for the accommodation OF travel
lers.
Among those who accompanied the
court were Prince Tuan, Kang VI and
Wang Wenshao, and 1t is said that the
Empress, feeling in sympathy with the
latter on account of his age. urged him
to return to his residence at the capital,
but the old man begged with tears to
be allowed to share in the exile of the
COURT The humiliation effect OF this
experience upon the proud Manchura can
better be imagined than described and 1t
has evidently inspired a desire for VEN
geance, as is Indicated in the secret or
ders sent to Ii Hung Chang for the re-
capture of Tien Tsin and Pekin as well
as by the tone of the recent edicts.
"In the light of the above narrative
the reference in the account given by the
Sin Wen Pao of the reported disgrace
of Prince Taun to the discomforts attend
ing the flights from Pekin affords some
circumstantiaI evidence of the accuracy
of that account and the fact that the
same paper in it's issue of this morning
again refers to the Empress's displeas-
ure with the Prince adds further weight
to it's previous statement

The Santa Fe has issued an order
which is causing some dissatisfaction
among the employees. The order is to
the effect that hereafter. as a qualid-
cation for fremen every man aspiring
TO that position must weigh at least
100 pounds.
This will have bad effect on the
men working as wipers IN the round
houses. Many OF them have worked
in that position for long time, ano
now, as they are nearly ready to re
caive promotions TO the position OF

not pull the beam down TO the neces
sary l6O pounds.
very large proportion OF the wip~

OF becoming feemen on the Santa Fe.
What is true of Topeka is true OF

tates Natures way OF Making Foids
and Faults In Rocks.


There are fe's pieces OF apparatus
which will assist in teaching geology.
One OF the most interesting way 1e-
signed by Prof. g. A. Lebour OF Dur
ham College OF Science, Newcastle-on-
Tyne. The machine is for making
folds Of rock, and as may be readily
understood, a large number OF fold
forms Of rocks can be reproduced, and
their consequences, su0b as thrusts,
consists Of two parable wooden rollers
about three feet apart and four inches
in diameter. shaft turns the two
rollers i'm opposite directions by means
OF toothed bevel wheels, the shaft Itself
being driven by a worm-wheel and
worm. One turn OF the handle causes
only 1-4Sth of the turn OF the shaft
and rollers, so that a very slow motion
can be impaired to the latter sheet
of india rubber is firmly attached by
q slot and screwed to each roller. This
completes the arrangement, the rollers
being wound through about one entire
revolution and the india rubber being
thus stretched, and layers OF cloth.
clay, paste. or other material are laid
upon It. The handle is then turned
in the reverse direction, and the india
rubber is gradually released. Folds are
in this way shown slowly growing, the
broad elastic band Stimulating the con-
traction of a portion OF the earth's
course and producing various geo
logical forms. Various weights may
be applied and different effects can be
obtained thus giving an idea Of the
results which have actually been pro-
duced in nature under great pressure;
that is to say at great depths-Scien-

Makes ArtIncIal spoares.

Many natural products are, in these
days OF advanced chemistry, so sue
cessfully initiated in the laboratory
that the manufacture OF a sponge
which seems to possess all the yalu-
able qualities associated with the real
article will not perhaps excite the sur
prise which IL surely would have done
few years back. The process is pat
ented by DIR. Gustav Pun OF Gratz, and
consists principally in the action of
zinc chloride or pme cellulose. This
action results in a pasty viscous mass,
which is mixed with coarsely grained
rock salt Placed in a press mold
armed with pins, the mass is pierced
through and through until appears
traversed by a multitude Of tiny
canals, like the pores of natural
sponge. The excess OF salts is subse-
quently removed by prolonged wash
ing in a weak alcoholic solution. The
artificial sponge swells up with water,
but turns henry and hard on drying,
just like its prototype; II can be en-
ployed for all the purposes which are
usually assigned to the animal product
