water.y! Cities.

The pbiladelphia Times gives
descriptions Of three Of the most noted
Of the cities located on the edge OF tho
s.a or in watery places in the follow.
ing:
The city Of Ghent. ID Belgium, is
built on twenty-six islaais. These
islands are connected with each other
by eighty bridges. Thecity has three
hundred streets and thirty public
souaree. Itis noted for being the
birthplace Of Charles v. and Of John
of Gaunt, whom Shakespeare called
.time. .honorea Lancaster" and was
the scene of the pacifoation Of Ghent,
Nov. 8, 1876, and Of several insurrec-
tions, sieges and executions Of we'll
known personages. II is associated
with American history by tic treaty
made there Dec. "a, 1914, terminating
the second war between England and
the United States, known as the ws-
Of 1912.
Amsterdam, in Holland, is built on
piles driven far helew the water into
the earth. The city is intersected by
many canals, which are sranncd by
nearly three hundred BRIDGES, and re
scmbles Venice in the mingling Of land
and water, though tits considerably
larger than that city. The CANALS di-
vide the city, which is about ten miles,
in circumference, into ninety islands.
The city IF Venice is built on eigh-
ty islets, which are connected by near
ly four hundred bridges. Canals serve
for streets in Venice. and boats, call
ed gondolas, for carriages. The bridges
are, as rule, very steep, rising con-
siderably in the middle, but have easy
steps. The circumference of the city
is about eight miles. The Venetiaus
joined the Lombard league against the
German emperor, and in 1177 gained
great victory, in defense of Pope AL.

Rolled Down Mountain in the firebox.

Speaking about hauling dead To-
comotives across tie country" said
western railroad man, s'recalls to me a
story about one of them that happened
several years ago, when / was young.
in this business. A big engine was
being hauled across the county for
the Denver and Rio Grande Company
from the Danforth works in Paterson.
II was in charge Of one of their best
men, fellow who always had his wits
about hirn and who had been at the
business for number of years. The
train in which this locomotive was be-
ing hauled was going around one of
those heavy curves on the edge of
cannon that abound on the mountain
roads of the west. Something went
wrong-a rail spread, I believe-and
this chap, who was keeping a good
lookout ahead, saw that wreck was
imminent. There was no chance for
him to jump, for there was an almost
perpendicular lot Of rocks on one side
and adeep canon on the other. A jump
either way meant sure death. Quick as
flash he saw the one way TO escape,
and he went for it, hoping for the best
and that he might save his life, even
at the cost of few broken bones. He
opened the door Of the firebox, crawled
in, pulled the door to, and then prayed
more fervently than he ever did be-
fore for salvation. He got in the box
just in time. There was an awful
crush and then sickening sensation
of being hurled through space. He
dug his fingers into the ironwork on
the inside of the door of tho firebox
and braced himself as best he could
against the shock Of the bumps he
Sas getting as the locomotive bound
cd down the side Of that caron. That
trip down until nc struck terra frma
and was knocked insensiblc, he said,
was the most terrific and heart dis
turbing he had ever had. When he
rega;ced his senses he found himself
penned in lot of wreckage, but for.
tunately for him, the force Of the fall
had thrown open the door Of the fiyc-
box. Sore from head to foot from the
bruises he had received, bleeding from
few trifing wounds but with all his
limbs safe and in working order, he
managed to get out of>the wreck, to
find himself the only living thing
around there. The wreckage Of the
train was complete and in it we're the
hodies of three or four dead trainmen.
It was several hours, it seemed to him
like days, before any Of the railroad
employees showed up to see what
could be saved from the wreck. They
looked on him as ghost when they
came upon him and could hardly be-
lieve tho evidence Of their own eyes
that he had gone through that wreck
and escaped with his life. But he
satisfied them that he was very much
alive and was also hungry and thirsty.
That wreck was enough for the engi-
neer and he never again went out in
charge of dead locomotive-Ne,o

Some Of the ultra religious people
here are expressing astonishment tha
a tie in the vote for member of tn,
borough council was decided the othe
day by tossing penny, says Londor
paper. They insist that the element
chance ought to have been eliminated
from English politics long ago. As 1
matter of fact, there is still a corne
left in the British constitution for Kin,
Chance to build his throne in, and it il
not many years since the house of com
mons deliberately sanctioned the ap
peal to chance in certain emergencies
When city councils were being estab
lished in Scotland the question arose il
parliament as to the choice of chair
man of the joint committee in case OF
an equality of votes, and it was pro
posed that the final decision in that
case be taken by lot. Serious member:
objected to such frivolous method Of
deciding an important matter, but the
mover of the resolution reminded the
house of the apostolic precedent, ant
1t was decided by a majority that wha,
was good enough for the election of
successor to Judas Iscariot was goot
enough for the chairman of joint com
mittee. So that the Camberwell elec
tion is likely to stand in law.

PICTURE COST A FORTUNE.
One of the Duke OF Marlborough Art
Treasures worth a Kings
Ransom.

The costliest picture in the world is
owned by the duke of Marlborough,
who has a large and very expensive col
lection of pictures which has com
down to him from the original duke
of Marlborough, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The rarest Of them
is the Blenheim Madonna" (" painted b
Raphael in 1907 and now valued a
$35O,G00. The picture was original,
painted for the Church of the Servi a
Perugia. 1t is eight feet high, repre-
senting the madonna and child seated
on a throne, with a figure of St. job
the Baptist on the left and that of ST.
Nicholas of Bari on the right, the last
two being life size. Its high value Is
due to the fact that IL is one of the be st
preserved of the pictures of Raphael
which are now in existence. 1t has been
proposed that the British government
buy this picture. Blenheim palace ia
so-ealled in honor Of the battle which
the English, under the duke of Marl-
borough, won over the French, and was
given to the great soldier by Quee
Anne. Every year a little flag worked
with fleur-de-lis is sent to Windsor
castle by way OF rent and hung upon
the walls of the castle.

STORY TELLERS ORGANIZE.
They VIII Receive Protection and
announcement Down
in Maine.

Long-distance story tellers have had
a new field opened to them here. At
Waterville, Me-, an organization has
been formed with the purpose of bring
ing together the best and longest "yarn
tellers" in Maine and award prizes. The
meeting was held in the parlors of the
Elmwood hotel, where, according to the
rules, all the stories must be told. The
official title of the organization is the
"Storytellers' Association of Maine"
The meetings of the association will
be held whenever the president shall
secure storytellers who desire to en-
tertain the club. The idea is to give
prizes for the longest and best original
story. The rules will allow a story
teller all the time he may ask for the
telling of the story, to be continuous.
with time out for meals.
Some of the best storytellers of the
state have joined the association. JohS
B. Mason, of Bar Harbor, who holds the
record for long talking, sent a letter
of application for membership. Mr.
Mason secured his record at St. John,
n. B., in 1895, when he told a story,
making it up as he went along. for 25
hours. All stories must be free from
features that would be Objectionable
to ladies'.

M ANY things take many men to the
N Canadian wilds. Ask a dozen diff
ferent people that you meet in the
Muskoka and Georgian Bay districts
what they came for, and you win get
dozen different answers. But there
are even more than a dozen different
reasons why men go to these wilds.
The massive. dense, silent forest, with
its great pine and hemlock trees tow
ering heavenward, its tangled under
brush and heet-footed deer attract
many; its placid lakes, with their
shore lines Of rugged granite, and the
islands that shoot out Of the water
as though thrown up by strong hand,
as they were. attract others; the fish,
the canoeing and the silent grandeur
of untrammeled nature attract still
more.
All Of these like, but there is still
another attraction that appeals
strongly to me. That is the honest,
fearless guides, veritable children of
nature, and the stories they tell. For
us at Kah-pee-kog Frazer had ever a
new story. He knew the woods and
the lakes and the myths thereof; even
more he loved them and deemed it a
pleasure to tell of them. As for us
well. even Smith would stop harping
on that ten-pouud bass be was going
to catch. to listen, or Ullmark would
forget for time the big one he had
caught.
