Locking an Umbrella.

An umbrella that is useless to any
one except its rightfhl owner may well
be considered valuable. The New Or
leans Times-Democrat says that law
yer in that city possesses such an arti-
Gle, which he describes as follows: 81
bought it in Germany year before last,
and nobody can open it except myself.
Do you notice that little keyhole. in the
side? Here is the key on the end of
my watch chain, and until it is insert
ed and turned, the thingis absolutely
immovable. Anybody else would find
it harder to raise than a mortgage. On
at least dozen occasions the umbrella
has been stolen or taken away by acct
dent, if you prefer that term, but it has
always found its way home. You see,
my name is cut on the handle, and the
umbrella itself is well known to all the
attaches of the building. When they
see a stranger struggling with it in the
door on a rainy day, they promptly
confscate it and bring it back. Won

Browne And The Text Books.

Superintendent Browne's explana-
nation Of his reason for urging the
preparation and publication of school
text books by local talent aud COM
panles is hardly satisfactory. 1t is
now given out on all sides that the
great purpose was TO rid the state Of a
great "octopus"-the American Book
company. Inasmuch as the American
Book company has had but a single
book Ga high school algebra9 in use in
this state adoption, during the past
ten years, and as the awarding of con-
tracts for the next five years was en-
tirely in the hands of Mr.. Browne and
his associates, it does not seem that
any unusual or dramatic mea s'lres
were necessary to rid the state OF what
seems to be an imaginary evil.
The circumstances of suspicion sur
rounding the text book award cannot
be dissipated by the Rogers Browne
clique, by yelling "stop thief" at a
corporation thousands of miles away,
ard which has no hold upon the peo-
PIE of this state and has had none for
many years. The American Book
company may have friends in this
state, but it certainly does not own all
the people who are raising a voice of
protest against the character of the
adopted books and the apparent meth
cd by which this gigantic administra-
ton scheme has been foisted upon
the people.
The cutlery that this campaign SLAM
der and that the campaign party is in
league with Il great eastern book tsust
in unreasonable and not warranted by
the facts in the case. The first public
mention of this public school book
jobbery hailed from the columns Of
the Washington Standard, democra-
tic paper, and one certainly beyond
the acquaintance and the influence of
any eastern book concern.
The words of condemnation coming
up from all the leading educators of
the state can not be inspired through
the influence Of book concern that
has no state patronage for a decade
and certainly can have no hope of
business from the. source during the
next five years. The proposition is
simply ridiculous.
Besides this, that is not the propo-
sition. The question is, ais the Rog-
ers Browne administration corrupt or
incompetent" 1t is just becoming
thoroughly settled in the mind of the
people that the majority of the recent
ly adopted books are utterly worthless,
and comparative tables show that the
cost OF them to the public has been
increased rather than decreased. 1t
matters not at all who has stirred MP
this inquiry or who is back of it. It
seems to have merit in il, and it raises
al once the question of the honesty
or intelligence, or both, OF The states
educational department. In either
case, it is time halt were called and
change made.-Olympian.

LYDDITE.

This explosive, brought into promi-
nence by it's use in shells at Omdur-
man and Ladysmith, is picric acid
made by acting on carbolic acid with
nitric acid. 1t is a bright yellow sub
stance, much used by dyers. When
exploded it produces an effect eleven
times greater than that Of gunpowder,
killing not so much by the force OF
the pieces OF steel shell It hurls in
direction as by the blow of the sud-
denly compressed air. Lyddite shells
are. therefore, more humane" than
ordinary shrapnel. since they do not
mangle so much, but act by air concus-
sion. The shells have nose fuses only
so that they explode on impact. Made
OF forged steel, they are used with 6
and go inch breech-loading guns, with
howitzers and with and inch quick
firing guns. Their chief utility Is in
demolishing Notifications, walls, etc.
A small town in Kent. where expert
ments were made with IL. gives the
name lyddite to the picric shell.

A CURIOUS RAILWAY.

The most curious railway in the
world is undoubtedly that one at the
bathing resort, JUST, on the North
Sea. The land here Is OF so strange a
formation. extending so far out into
the sea and making IL impossible for
boats to land, that a peculiar device
has been adopted for the landing of
passengers from ships. First they
must get into sailboats, which come
as far as the end Of the railroad track
and then the passengers get into the
cars and are pulled to dry land by the
horses that wade between the tracks
as they pull the cars up on dry land
The horses are sometimes up to their
necks in water at high tide, but they
press bravely forward, and at last find
firmer foothold as they get nearer to
land. For years this method has been
used, though every winter the storms
tear up some Of the track of this water
railway. We wonder why they use
horses and don't string a trolley wire
overhead to pull the cars up, and per-
haps they will do so, but II would be
pity TO abolish this unique horse car,
where the horse has almost to swim to
do this work.-Cinclnnat Commercial
Tribune.

SHOOTS BIG GAME IN SPORT.

Eccentric wedding journeys seem to
be the order of the day and probably
the queerest honeymoon spent by a
young bride is that of Lady Delamere
the wife of the famous young African
hunter. For three months past, since
their marriage in the Cheshire house
of the brides father, earl of Enniskil-
len, the couple has been in Mombasa
hunting big game. Word has come
from them to the brides father that
they are now organizing an expedition
to the interior and expect to be gone
from three to six months longer, when
they will return to England.
Lord Delamere is the most noted
African hunter of the day. His last
African trip continued over period of
two years. For four months he was
not heard from and touched on dis
trict that the foot of white man had
never before trod. The trophies he
brought back are among the most re-
markable ever collected.
Lady Delamere is born horsewo-
man, raised to ride to the hounds, and
is an ardent sportswoman. Her father.
earl of Enniskillen, is master of the
North Cheshire hunt, in which she has
always ridden with credit. She is en-
thusiastic over her trip and has dis
played an endurance and skill that has
surprised her husbands party.
She has been one of the most active
of the party in the field and has Sc
cured more trophies than anyone else
among them. On two occasions her
ardor carried her into dangerous posi-
lions, from both of which, however,
she extricated herself by remarkable
display of courage and quick witted-
ness. Once her life was despaired of
by two huntsmen, who witnessed her
precarious position from a distance
powerless to aid her. They enthusiasts
tically described her fight for life as
the pluckiest they had ever seen.
She will not heed their warnings to
be careful of herself. but insists on
entering into every hunt as actively as
they do. Her skill and bravery have
made her quite heroine in their
minds and she enjoys their admiration
hugely. Still, there are few who envy
her her position.
