ALL WANT TO BE HEROES.
Rivalry Among British Soldiers
Upon the Veidt in South
Africa.

A great rivalry exists among the
private soldiers in South Africa for the
honor of performing the most heroic
deed of the campaign. The most dra-
matte feat of the war, perhaps, was the
hosting of the union jack over Pre-
toria, and it is interesting to note that
this was done by man who is often
described as the richest man in Eng
land-the duke of Westminster. It is
the first notable thing the young duke
has done since his accession, and he
we'll deserved his reward-a cigar
handed to him by Lord Roberts on be-
half of lover of the weed at home.
The flag at Bloemfontein was hoisted
by Viscount Acheson, son of Lord Cos
port, though the honor has been
claimed for Lord Herbert Scott. The
first man to enter Mafeking on it's re-
lief was ''Karri" Davies, who received
6 SO from a Liverpool merchant as his
reward. It is pleasing to know that
Davies is an Australian, as was the
first man to enter Bloemfontein, Mr..
Donohoe, correspondent. The first
colonial v C. was Trooper Morris. So
far nobody has succeeded in winning
the e25 offered in Melbourne to the
man who would first lay his hands on
President Kruger.

SEARCH FOR THE TILE FISH.
Efforts of Government Agents to
Locate the Much-Wanted
Species.

The United States fish commission
Is about to make an effort to determine
as precisely as possible the area of sea
bottom occupied by the tilefish-that
strange and interesting fnny species
which was first discovered in 1879, only
to be rendered almost extinct soon aft
erward by a marine cataclysm wholly
unprecedented, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
The fish commission thinks that an
important and lucrative fishery for
the tilefish may be created, when once
the fishermen are informed at to where
they should go to look for the species,
which is excellently adapted for the
table. Hitherto it has remained al
most unknown simply because it's home
is in the depths. There is reason to be-
heve that it has again become very
numerous, and a reference to the his
tory of the famous catastrophe of 1882
shows that in March and April Of that
year $500 square miles of ocean were
found profusely sprinkled with tile
fish, the number being estimated a t one
thousand millions.
The eastern edge of the North Amer.
lean continent is overfowed by the sea,
and that is why the water near the
coast is so shallow. To find the true
edge of the great tinental land mass
one would have to travel about 80
miles due eastward from New York.
There begins a sudden descent to the
true floor of the ocean, which is 21A
miles deep. A narrow belt of this de
cLvity, running north and south, is
bathed by the warm waters of the
fish. The catastrophe above men
TONED, which so nearly wiped out the
entire species, was undoubtedly due
to an invasion of the belt by the arctic
current

JUDGE AND HIS DOG.
An English Jurist's Love for AMI
mails Brings Him Into
Ridicule.

It is learned from the English papers
that Baron Brampton, longer and more
familiarly known as Sir Henry Hawk
ms, or as ''Old AIRY 'Awkins''-as the
good people of London called him at
times-has just celebrated his eighty
third birthday. There is probably
none of Queen Victoria's judges, either
on the active or on the retired list, who
knows so much of the seamy side of
life as does Baron Brampton. He is
the hero of more stories than have
been told of any other occupant of the
judicial bench, living or dead. His con-
slant companion, and most devoted
friend, singularly restless and clever
little terrier, figures in many of these.
For instance, once when the nervous
little animal was dragging his veneer
able master violently along by it's
leash, member of the criminal classes,
who knew both master and dog very
well, indeed, called out loudly: "Why,
Bill, don't go it so ard, the old 'un ism t
bind" Lord Brampton's excessive
love for animals on another occasion
prompted him to interpose when a
learned counsel had been talking about
"evidence to hang a dog and to ask
what would be sufficient evidence for
that purpose. ''That, M lud,'' replied
the lawyer, with significance, would
depend very much on whom the dog
belonged tot"

HOME FOR SCHOOL-TEACHERS.
Switzerland Will Found Place
Where They Can Spend Their
Vacations.

The Swiss educators are taking ac-
tive measures looking toward the
founding of a lehrerheim, or home for
school-teachers during their holidays,
upon the model of the admirable eisen-
bahner-heim, or home for railway
workers, on the Grubisbalm, upon the
slopes of the Rigi, midway between
Vitznau and the Kaltbad says for
eign correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle. The hotel on the Grubis-
balm, which owes it's initiative entirely
to committee Of workers on the
Swiss railways, has now been open for
three or four years. Any railway man,
or member of a railway mans family,
may be excellently lodged and boarded
there at cost of three to three and
one-half francs a day. The economical
question is exhaustively treated in
little pamphlet circulating amongst
the teachers in the Swiss common
schools. If the railway workers can
''help themselves" to so successful
cooperative hotel and pension, why
cannot their educators do the same?
asks Herr Walt, the writer of the pam
phlet. The railway workers home on
the Rigi not only pays its expenses,
but at the end of the last season showed
profit of 1900 francs, which is ex-
pected to increase as it becomes more
widely used. The German school-mas
tiers in Silesia have already provided
themselves with similar cooperative
hotel and pension in the Schreiberhau.

NEW ARMORED TRAINS.
Are Designed to Traverse a Coun-
try Where There Are No
Railroads.

Two new armored trains, intended
for use in a country where there are
no rails or permanent ways, have lately
been placed upon the establishment at
Aldershot. Each consists Of locomo-
tive or traction engine, and tour trucks,
all of which are painted the now IA
miliar but ever unlovely khaki. The
locomo lives, which are of exceedingly
powerful construction, are completely
cased with steel, the vital parts being
especially protected. An ingenious ar
rangement of prisms and mirrors,
somewhat after the manner of the
camera obscura, enables the driver in
side the cab of the engine to see with
out being seen Or in any way exposing
himself. The trucks are built with
high sloping steel sides, which are
pierced and slotted at intervals to ell
able the occupants to fire through
them. They are also provided with
slides at either end to permit of guns
and wagons being run into the trucks.
The steel sides of the carriages are SO
constructed that when necessary they
may fall inward and lie fat on the plat
form of the truck, which can then be
used for ordinary transport purposes.

A TELEGRAPH LINE.
In Chilli That Was Preserved from
MOlestatiOn of Indians by a
Clever Trick.

When the electric telegraph was
first introduced into Chill stratagem
was resorted to in order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on
the part of the natives and to main
tain the connection between the
strongholds on the frontier. There
were at the time between 40 and so
captive Indians in the Gillian camp.

Il want you to remember not to 20
near or touch them, for if you do
your hands will be held, and you will
be unable to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wire at
both ends of an electric battery in
full operation, after which he ex-
claimed:
II command you to let go the wire!"
81 can't; my hands are benumbed!"
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them
to liberty, giving them strict instruc-
tions to keep the secret. This had
the desired effect, for, as might be ex-
pected, the experience was related in
the strictest confidence to every man
in the tribe, and the telegraph has
ever since remained unmolested,

AUTHOR MADE A HIT.
He Finally Brought His Novel to
q Close in Advance of His
First Purpose.

One of the most popular novels OF
the day had a strange history which
might have been considered fatal to
it's success had it been considered in
advance. A New York author whose
books are always sure of a certain de-
gree of popularity finished all but the
last few chapters of a novel. Try as
he might, it was impossible for him
to complete the story satisfactorily.
So he put the book away and for two
years it lay unfinished on his desk, al
though the author thought of the
work from time to time without be-
ing able to set any nearer the solu-
ton of the plot, says the New York
Sun.
Finally he lost all hope of ever COM
pleting the work and decided to end
it at a point several chapters in adj
vance of that at which he had ceased
to write. With this abrupt and unex-
Usher, was accepted and turned out
one of the most popular novels this
author has ever written. One of the
most praised features of the book is
it's unconventional ending, which is
said to be just explicit enough to sat-
isfy everybody without going into ar
tistic detail. And the author was at
one time so discouraged about the end
ing of the book that he had almost
given up the idea of submitting it to
any publisher.
