LITTLE KNOWN INDUSTRY.
Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go ss
 Waste.

4 singular and but little known in- dustry is carried on in this city in the sale of oyster and clam shells. says the New York Tribune The d. lers in this commodity pursue their calling in so transformations a way that it attracts no attention. From the eat ing houses where oysters and clans are consumed the year round the shells are collected by persons who either carry on that business for them elves or are in the employ of the wholesale dealers. It seems incredible how large an area of ground can be covered many feet deep with the eonglemefatien ei end foreign matter that is un- dably collected with it, and appar- t'.45y amalgamates without destroying | characteristics of the harder ma tefial. Seeing a number of carts loaded with shells moving toward tho same point would induce the supposi-
 tion that more reclaimed land was being filled in with material that would exclude the possibility of such land ever being used as a market garden;
 or 1t might be taken for granted that another dump heap was allowed in some of the still unoccupied upper west side lots But if curiosity should lead to investigation 1t would be found that the carts were bound for big yard at Fifty-fourth street and the North river, where they deposited their loads. Every autumn the yard is so filled up that a considerable hill of shells is formed This being exeayated from the bottom as loads are again carried away leaves the mass with the appear anee of having been geelogically formed, and offers curious sight to the uninitiated How the shells are used is one of the most astonishing things to those Ignorant of the value of the material for anything except filling in streets and making beach drives, such as that one famous in the history Of Savannah. But this shell suffers curious change. It is sold to the gas-works and is used as q purifier.

THE LONGEST STAIRWAY.

1t Is in the Tower of the Philadelph
 City Hall.
 A novel diversion is about to Be tn- stituted at the Philadelphia city hall Within Q few weeks this noble pile, already distinguished as being the highest municipal building in the world. will contain, according to the Press, the highest continuous stair way in the world and tourists who have hitherto boosted of their mus eular ability in climbing the stone steps of the Bunker Hill monument at CharlestoWn, the Washington monu- ment or the monument to Gen. Brock, near Queenstown, Ont, will tell their friends of their feat in ascending the 698 steps which lead from the seventh floor of the city hall of Philadelphia to the landing about the feet of Will liam Penn. Towef-elimbing is one of the fads of tourists. Hitherto the Bunker Hill monument, with it's 400- odd stone steps, and the Washington monument, which has few more, have represented the acme of oppor- tunity for tests of physical endurance Ascent or descent of these steps has been boasted of, and though both so oramp the muscles of the leg that the climber fer an hour afterward is hard y able to walk upright, the distinction has the requited pain. The building commission, adds the Philadelphia Press, is pushing forward the work on the tower stairway and within two months it is expected that it will be in readiness for climbers. It will extend from the seventh to the sixteenth floor and will contain just 598 steps Of iron arranged about a square, central shaft, in which will run an electric elevator To reach the tower stairway the climber may mount the 245 granite stairs ill the hanging stairways at the northern end of the building, thus making a total climb of 743 steps.

Girl swims Mile in Remarkably Fast
 Time.
 Chicago Chronicles: Little six-year- old May Huhn proved herself one of the greatest juvenile swimmers in the world at the north side natatorium. She swan mile in 1:07:17 3=5. The girl made a worlds record, for no child has ever accomplished the feat before h such q short time. The child is not large for her age, nor does she seem to have muscles developed to much greater extent than other girls as young as she, but it is the opinion of all that if she keeps at the game she will iii time be one of the greatest fe- male swimmers in the world George Gaidzik lowered another worlds mark for boys under 16 years old when he swan two miles in 1:12:15. The record was formerly held by Ralph Uhlendorf, who made the same dis tance in 1:14:29 3-5. Other good per- formances by juveniles were as follows: Walter Horn, F years old, two miles int: 9: 54; Lottie Mayer, F years old, two miles in 1:40; Charles Arens, Il years old, one and 2 half miles in 113:54 Arthur Gaidzik, 12 years old. one and half miles in 1:15, and Rob- ert Afens. 3 years old, one and half miles in 1:35.

The Dean and the Iunatio.

Dean Stanley had great respect for presence of mind, and used with great delight to tell story of presence Of mind by which he liberated himself from dangerous visitor. Since he was willing to see almost any one who asked for him, he once told his servant to usher into his study gentleman who had called, and who happened to bear naD4e which was familiar to him. When the gentleman appeared he proved to be an entire stranger. It was evident there had been some mis- take. This became stil more evident when. advancing with an air of great excitement, the gentleman exclaimed: Sir, I have a message to the queen from the Most High. I beg that you deliver it instantly Tn that case," said the dean, taking up his hat. there is not a moment to be lost. Let US go at once." They went downstairs into the hall. and, opening the door, the dean requested his visitor to step out. No sooner had he done so than the dean shut the door behind the iunatic.
