Robert W. Wilcox, the Congressional
delegate from HAWAII, is confronted by
that most formidable of all thiugs-a
woman scorned. His divorced wife,
the Princess Gina CoIonso Coberero de
Stagliono, is hot on his trail. It seems
that while military student in Italy
Wilcox met the Princess and by tales
of his wealth and position, she alleges,
induced her to marry him. Now she
writes to a woman friend in California
I can never forgive the man who
ruined my young life and who deceived
me into marrying him by wicked and
false stories as to our future life in
Hawaii. The post of honor to which
he aspires in the Congress of America
shall never be his if I can stop it, and
for that reason I shall soon visit your
country" One of the features Of the
late campaign in Hawaii was the agility
displayed by spelbinders who climbed
the telegraph poles to escape mobs of
the opposition. 1t were well for Will
cox if he participated in that sport
enough to become an adept.

Proud of His Labels.

A distangy looking young man board
ed a Fourteenth street car at Massa-
chusetts avenue the other night. He
was carrying a leather suit case.
Pasted all over the suit case were Ia
bells indicating much foreign travel
steamer pastors slapped on at Dieppe,
Havre, Ostend, Bremen, Cherbourg,
Liverpool, Yarmouth, Naples, and rail-
road labels that bore the names Of all
lines all the way from Constantinople
to st. Petersburg. The young man of
distangy appearance put the suit case
down between his legs, and all the peo-
pie in the seats opposite began a fas-
cinated sort of inspection of the labels.
A stout man with several of the COM
ponent parts of jag who sat next to

labels with particular interest. He
stopped over and deciphered them
carefully and deliberately, and then he
looked up at the owner Of the suit
case with leer.
"Been around right smart, hain't
you, podnerY' he inquired.
The young man regarded him with a
smile.
"Never been farther away from
Washington than New York in my
life," he replied, without any hesita-
ton whatsoever. 81 got that whole
bunch of labels for half a dollar at a

Sham Antiquities.

A few years ago, i'll Soho, London,
there was factory for antique cop
pers which is probably still in opera
ton. The legitimate business of the
place was the manufacture of stew
pans and kettles, but when trade was
dull in that way any sort of antiques
for which there happened to be a de-
mand was produced instead.
An old incense burner, for example,
would be reproduced by the dozen by
hammering over a chuck. If Orna-
nented with pierced work, the copies
| would be coated with asphaltum,
through which the design would be
traced, when it would then be eaten
| out in an acid bath, saving the time
which would be required to cut out
the pattern with piercing saw. The
bath leaves thin edges, by which such
work may be detected.
| The work would then be annealed
and would be permitted to oxidize and
scale. Picking with muriatic acid and
salt, to produce good coating of YER
ligris. would complete the job. Some
times these antiques" would be pUr-
lposely broken and would be clumsily
mended with solder or with pure tin if
the piece was to pass for very an
Gent one. Chiseled metal was repro
iuced by casting and clubbing" over
with the hammer, then picking, an
1nealing and bending. In such ways
helmets, copper and brass castings for
lantique furniture and the like were
made-Art Amateur.

The Height of Storms.

Professor T. H. Bigelow furnishes
The American Journal Of Science with
some Of the results of the international
cloud work for the United States. The
penetration of ordinary cyclones into
the higher regions of the atmosphere
is slight. They are only two or three
miles deep. Hurricanes are five or six
miles deep. The anticyclonic and cy-
clonic areas are hardly to be consider
ed as centers of motion except in the
very lowest strata, since currents Of
air blow directly over them from west
to east, even in the cumulus region Of
the Rocky mountain districts. The or
binary circulation theory does not hold
good. In each stratum from the sur
face to the cirrus level about as much
air moves north as south, for there are
enormous counter currents passing by
each other at the same level and not
over one another at different eleva-
tons. This puts new aspect upon
the entire problem Of the general cir.
