WHEN VISITING ABROAD.
People Likely to BE Interested in
Things Pertaining to Their
Own Business

ut is perfectly natural" said one
whose own business takes him about
more or less, relates the New York
Sun, "that man should be interested,
wherever he may be, in things per-
tanning to his own business. know
l am in mine; when | strike a strange
place | like to go through the quar-
ter where they carry on the business
that | am engaged in and see how
they run things in it there. But I
have only met with two illustrations
of this sort of thing that seemed to
me to be rather curious as well az
interesting.
Talking with New York paint
manufacturer about paint of a cer-
tain kind, the paint man said, Incl
dentally, that he had seen paint of
that color on walls in Pompeii. odd
ly enough, the other curious illustra-
tion arose out of the same ancient
city. A New Yorker engaged in the
manufacture of lead pipe said Incl
dentally to something that he was
telling me about lead pipe that he
had found in Pompeii lead pipe in fair
condition. The pipe, while covered
with an incrustation that had gath
cred upon it in the long time it had
been buried, yet cutting with as
bright and perfect a cleavage as
though it had been made yesterday,
instead of many centuries ago.
These two things interested some
what the paint man and the lead
man, respectively, and they certainly
interested me-"

SEARCH FOR TIE TILE FISH.
Efforts of Government Agents TO
Locate the Efuch-Wnnted
Species.

The United States fl. h 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 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 its home
is in the depths. There is reason to be-
lieye that it has again become very
numerous, and reference to the his.
tory of the famous catastrophe of 1852
shows that in March and April of that
year 1900 square miles of ocean were
found profusely sprinIled with tile
fish, the number being estimated at 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 continental land mass
one would have to travel about SO
miles due eastward from New York.
There begins sudden descent to the
true floor of the ocean, which is 2h
miles deep. a narrow belt of this de-
clivity, running north and south, is
bathed by the warm waters of the
Gulf Stream, and here is found the tile
fish. The catastrophe above men
toned. which so nearly wiped out the
entire species, was undoubtedly due
20 an invasion of the belt by the arctic
current.

CLUB LIFE IN CHINA.
Nothing Comparable with 1t in SpIen-
dor in London or New
York City.

Club life is not confined to civilized
western countries. The rich Chinaman
has had his club for centuries. and, as
a rule, in the elegance and splendor Of
the internal decorations there is moth
ing comparable with it in London or
New York, says the London Mail. Most
of the larger Chinese cities, like Cam
ton or Peking, contain a club for man
darins and rich men with pretentions
to rank. Some have political taint,
some are merely social, but all have one
peculiar feature. This is a room or ora
tory set strictly apart for religious
exercises. In the oratory the image of
a Chinese god is placed. From time to
time members of the club enter the
sanctuary to offer their devotions. APP
parently it is no uncommon thing at
the beginning or successful ending of
great enterprise-such as, say, the
murder of an enemy or the consumma-
tion of political conspiracy-to see
a Chinaman Fastening from the secular
part of his club bearing a rich Offering,
or prayer, for the god in the club
sanctuary. He observes his devotions
with a gravity that bears witness to
his sincerity. Some devout Cinnamon
visit the god the moment they enter
the club building, and again PROSTATE
themselves the last thing before leav-
ing. The club god is not usually war
divinity, but now, in the centers where
the Boxers hold sway undisturbed, it
is more than probable that the Boxer
god has been placed in all the clubs.

FLIRTS WITH WAX WOMEN.
Cattlemnn from wyoming Throws
Kisses to Figures in Store
Windows.

veractous policeman on beat that
takes in the swell department stores of
State street tells queer story of a
cattleman from the plains of Wyom-
ing, says the Chicago Chronicle. Ac-
cording to the officers story the ranch
man fairly fell head and ears in love
with one wax figure of beautiful fe-
mae in prominent show window of
Chicago's great shopping thorough
fare.
when | first saw the cowboy throw
ing kisses at the pretty woman of wax"
said the policeman, 81 at first thought
he must be drunk or crazy. But he was
neither. The real truth was that he
had never in his life before seen
dummy figure of a woman of the per-
feet type then standing before him in
the glare of the show lights at night,
and his explanation was that before
herealized the exquisitely attired grand
dame was nothing but a cold and life
less figure he found himself throwing
kisses at her in pure gallantry and ex-
uberance of spirit
IL did not believe him al first and
started to take him in tow as a posi-
bly, dangerous lunatic. However, be-
fore | reached the patrol box with him
concluded that although he may
have been imbibing freely while seeing
the town, he was in no way affected in
his upper story. So turned him loose,
with warning that he would frighten
people badly and get locked up should
he renew his ardent and demonstrative
wooing of the wax figures in State
street windows"
