VERY STRONG MAN.
He Molds Cannons While They Are Discharged and Does Other Feats.

DlScnarSeQ ana Does Other EeatS.
 New York, Oct 29.-At the Grand Central Palace on Saturday night a new strong man, Panaghis Coutalian- os, and his son Ellen made their ap- pearance in feats of strength. Coutal- ianoS is known throughout Europe as the "Greek Hercules' and has been in this country about a fortnight. His first essay was to lift two iron balls, weighing 300 pounds each, ct the same time lifting an iron ball on his neck. weighing 15O pounds. His next feat was to exercise with. one iron ball weighing POO pounds. Then his son, who is only IT years old, toyed with two iron balls in either hand, weighing l2O and 15O pounds respectively. After raising both simultaneously above his head he held them in an upright po- sition for fully aid minute. With weights strapped on his legs and feet and about ten other weights and dumb bells suspended from his shoulders neck, arms and other parts of his body aggregating all told about 1850 pounds, the "Great Hercules walked around the stage. His son followed by lifting one 220-pound iron ball with his hands, at the same time suspend ing another iron ball of 100 pounds from his teeth. Taking an iron rod about a half inch in diameter, father and son bent and strengthened the rod on the forearm. Coutalianos and his son completed their exhibition with two noisy feats. First, the son came with loaded cannon weighing 225 pounds on his shoulder. After jug gling the cannon for few minutes Ellen fired it off Hercules then ap- peared with cannon on his shoulders weighing 400 pounds and two others of POO pounds each. All three were loaded with one pound of powder each. Somehow the Greek attendants mis- construed the signal and fired the guns before every thing was ready. The two which he held on his arm went off all right, but the unexpected shock sent the old man flying, and he fell heavily to the floor. The cannon which he carried on his shoulder and which had not been discharged, landed with a crash on the stage alongside the strong mans head.

GREATEST OF CHINESE WOMEN
Memorial to HuanS- Who Was Dei- lied for Her Services to
 Her People.

The ascendcncy obtained by the dowager empress of China in a coun- try where women are supposed by us to be regarded with little respect may not be so surprising to the Chinese as t is to us, through our misconceptions of that people. Unusual intelligence and energy break through all barriers. even those of sex prescription, all over the world, from the most civilized na- tions to the most savage tribes, and China is by no means without her ''eminent women.'
 In Shanghai, writes Martha s. Kay ser in the St. Louis Republic, the me tropolis of the most coveted section ot that vast empire, is q temple erected in honor of Huang, a woman deiied for her great services to her people, and Chinese men do not disdain to worship before her image.
 Centuries ago an elderly lady of good family and condition who had hitherto lived ir the region of Kwan- tung removed to Wu-ni-ching, Eea1 Shanghai, where she spent the re- 1nainder Of her life. Since the lady happened to be Huang, this simple event revolutionized the province in which she made her home. It was a great revolution, yet the most con- servative will not accuse her of hay. ing left 'woman's sphere" since her instruments were those associated with countless women, from Penelope, the terrible fates and the "virtuous woman" of Solomon's praise, down to our own grandma thers-the spindle and the loom.
 Cotton fabrics have been used to some extent in China for 4,0OO years, but the cotton interest, now so i'm portant, received it's first real impetus about 500 years ago, being extended in some provinces and introduced in others under the direct fostering ot the Chinese government, since which time it has steadily increased. In Huang's day the processes of cotton manufacture were elementary, save in a few sections, where they were well advanced, Kwantung, where she was reared, being one of these. Coming | to the neighborhood of Shanghai where the cotton industry was in it's infancy, Huang instructed the people in the use of the focking bow and the loom. She taught them the making o1 lducy ClOtlS dlll tuc "tdN1uS Ol colored threads into patterns. She invented the first spinning jenny known to the world, a machine with three spindles, on which three threads were spun simultaneously. This is still used in China, never having been transcended in that country.
 The growing manufactures became a source of great wealth, and by in creasing the value of the raw product stimulated cotton raising until Kiang- su attained it's present position as the province most celebrated for the quan. tity and quality of its product; for while cotton is now raised throughout the empire in amounts sufficient, nearly so, for home consumption, tn. only ports from which cotton is ex' ported are Shanghai, Tientsin, Wuhu and Ningpo. ... .--.. ,s
