TRAVELLING SIDEWALK.

The travelling sidewalk, at the Paris
exposition, while by no means new. in
conception, is here carried out on a far
larger scale than ever before attempted
Extending for a length of 34 kill
ometres around the quadrilateral form
ed by the Rue Fabert, the Quai dor
say, the Avenue de la Bourdonais, and
the Avenue de la Motte-Piquet, it
forms a continuous connection be-
tween the main portions of the expo
sitiOn. The mechanical operation is
very simple, thanks to the ease with
which power may be electrically dis
tributed. It is understood that the
main platform of 2 metres width
travels at the highest speed, kilo-
metres per hour, while the auxiliary
platform, of about half the width,
travels at half the speed, the third
platform remaining stationary. At
every 200 metres there is placed be-
meath the platforms an electric motor,
there being 172 motors in all, these
being partly of the Alioth type and
partly of the Westinghouse The mo-
tors operate shafts extending across
the framework, these shafts carrying
driving wheels of two diameters act
ing upon rails attached to the under
sides Of the two sections of the plat
forms. The motors, being carried up
on spring suspensions, are held up
against the rails driven by them with
a uniform pressure, so that unneces-
sary friction is avoided, and in prac-
tice the whole operates remarkably
well, there being very little or no jar
ring or irregularity It is especially
interesting to observe the ease with
which all persons, old and young, of
either sex, mount and descend from
the platform, and even the brief ex-
perience which has been had already
shows how entirely practicable the
system is.-Henry Harrison Suplee in
Engineering Magazine.

A TALE OF TWO SHIRTS

A discharged soldier, lately returned
from the Philippines, tells a tale of a
shirt which is too good to be lost. His
company was returning from a long
and tiresome scouting trip, in which
most of the men had parted with the
greater part of their wearing apparel.
when he saw on clothes-line in the
grounds of residence adjoining big
stone church two very good shirts,
hung out to dry. AS he had at the
time only half shirt to his back. he
proceeded to help himself to a whole
one. Whereupon a woman came out of
the house and said to him, in passable
English: ''You will pay for that on
the judgment day." Madam" he re-
piled, eff you give such long credit, I
will take both Shirts" which he pro-
ceeded to do.-The Argonaut.

TO LIEUTENANT HOBsON.

The Pittsburg Dispatch has suddenly
found a tender spot in it's heart for
Lieutenant Hobson, who sunk the Mer-
rimaC in the channel of the harbor of
Santiago, and asserts that the gallantry
of his action on that occasion should
cause the public to overlook his indis-
erection in the matter of oscuIation-
publicly osculated, so to speak. We do
not think that it is necessary to enter
a plea in defense of Lieutenant Hob
son. There is no reason to suppose the
fame of his achievement will suffer
from the fact that he was embarrassed
by The enthusiasm of number of eff
fusiVe women, who acted unwisely,
but from the purest and kindliest inn
pulses. Gen. Robert E. Lee was in
tensely loved and admired by the peo-
pie of the south during the days of
the civil war, and is still enshrined in
the hearts of his people, to remain
there until they are mingled with the
dust Of their fathers General Lee
never hesitated to kiss the pouting lips
of reverential maid, looking into his
eyes with the love and fondness of a
daughter; nor did General Sherman of
the union army reject such tributes
rendered to him by the women of the
north. The truth is General Sherman,
IT. very short time, became noted as
an osculatOry artist of more than or
binary ability. In view of the fact
that Generals Lee and Sherman did
considerable kissing in their days Of
military glory, any fair-minded man
cannot do otherwise than condemn
and regret the ridicule that has been
heaped upon one of the worthiest and
ablest of the young officers of our navy
for doing nc more than had been done
by his elders. Lieutenant Hobson was
kissed by patriotic and enthusiastic
women, but it is not apparent to the
whole country that the incidents were
shamefully exaggerated and misrepre-
sented to his injury. It was this fact
that caused him to ask the navy de-
partment to give him an assignment to
duty that would take him out of the
country Considerations of delicacy
and self respect made it possible for
him to reply to the charges and slurs
hurled against him.-New Orleans
States.

his wound and occupies tent standing
alone and within sight of the house
But it is the same Schiel.
AT Simon's Town the sight of ladies
in boat approaching the prison ship
sent him into an ecstacy of delight,
and he would chatter away with fervor
about "the dear ladies'" Almost as
soon as stepped ashore at st. Helena
there was placed in my hands photo
graph of Schiel being driven along
the main street on his way to Dead
wood camp. His eyes were raised and
you follow their direction to an open
window on an upper floor at which
sat two girls Yet, thought, it is the
same Schiel. Talk to him at Deadwood
and there is the same assumption-it
is not real-of the old devil-may-care
spirit.
Next time I fight he says, ''it shall
be on the side of the British" but you
feel instinctively that if he ever fights
again it will be on the side that pays
him best.
ooh, the war will not last long," he
tells you; chat is, if one thing hap
pens. If you beat the beers we'll at
Kroonstad it will all be over in three
weeks"
Then he will change his tune. The
assumed gayety passes away, and al
most pleadingly he will tell you that
he is not at all we'll treated, and that
he has made application to be allowed
to roam the island on parole Yet all
the time this insincere creature knows
that he has been guilty of more at
tempts to escape than any other of the
prisoners.
The boer prisoners are being we'll
treated. This I know as fact, and
as the result of personal inquiries and
observation on the spot. But, of course,
there will be some DIRECTORS. Schiel,
for example, declares that the British
prisoners at Pretoria are permitted to
go out picknicking and so forth; and
then he will make comparisons. But
of this statement we have no confir-
nation. Other prisoners, however,
speak we'll of their treatment, and
do know as fact that all of them are
better fed and get more fresh meat
than their guards.
Unfortunately, sickness had broken
out among the boer prisoners before
they left the cape. The sick, however,
are extremely well cared for. AS
write there are twenty in hospital out
OF the 500 on shore, and two have died.
These were accorded military honors
and were buried over the hills just
beyond Cronje's new home.

AMERICAN WOMEN IN ENGLAND
Tells of Their influence in the Public
Life of Great Britain

ct is a curious coincidence that the
wives of three of the leading English
politicians of the last twenty years
should be Americans, and two Of them,
as has been said by a very astute poll
tical leader, have done much to foster
and strengthen the friendship between
the two great English-speaking nations
of the world" writes Lady Jeue in
her article on Women in English Polit-
ical Life in The Saturday Evening
Post. Lady Harcourt and Mrs.
Chamberlain, though they have been
their husbands comrades and friends
in the best sense of the word, have
kept themselves aloof from the hurly-
burly of politics. Lady Harcourt has
lived so long amongst us, first as the
daughter of her father when Mr.. Mot
ley was minister in London, and since
then as so warm friend of the coun-
try of her adoption that we have come
to regard her as almost a English WO-
man, and we can pay her no greater
compliment. Mrs. Chamberlain we still
and always shall, regard as the en-
bodiment of all that is delightful in
American womankind, and the best
representative of her Puritan anceS-
tors Always with her husband, either
at home, on the platform, or in the
gallery of the house of commons, she
has invested her political life with a
charm and a sentiment that are quite
unique and while keenly interested in
every question, she has never vul-
CARRIED her political ideals, or de-
seeded to the lwoer arena into which
scme English women degrade their
political sympathies. The early death
of Lord Randolph Churchill while on
the threshold of the highest political
position in this country deprived Lady
Randolph of the position which she
must eventually have occupied, for she
at one moment seemed bound to be-
come the wife of the future Prime
Minister of England. Never was the
promise of life so blighted as his,
and the malady which so insidiously
undermined his life was one Of the
most unerring and fatal.
''The influence of American women
on English society is one which grows
no weaker, and women like Mrs. Cham
berlain and Lady Harcourt soften the
excrescences and peculiarities which
often strike us as un-English."

SHARK EATS A CYCLIST.
Peculiar Death of Emil Uhlbrecht of
Chicago off Honolulu

A portion Of the remains of Emil
Uhlbrecht, well known among cyclists
in the early '90s and winner of the
'93 Pullman road race, was found in
the body Of a shark caught at the en-
trance to Honolulu harbor.
Uhlbrecht was drowned. Together
with three Harry Moore,
E. E. Hayes and J. N. Rylander-he
had gone on a wheel excursion to Max
apuu Point. Out on the half-sub
merged rocks the men saw some shells
which attracted them. Stripping, but
keeping on their shoes to protect their
feet from the sharp rocks, they started
to gather the shells. They found it
necessary to swim from rock to rock.
A wave carried Uhlbrecht away and his
companions saw him dashed about

Cousin Ed GOT of few truths
in his great speech on the money
question in February. Here is
one OF them:
There is serious objection to
all nstionsl.bank circulation. both
present and prospective--an objec.
tion which the passage of this bill
will sooner or later accentuate and
make more apparent. The money
OF the world in use by the CONNER
cial nations dealing outside their
borders, and having the same stan
dard, must necessarily be fairly dis :
tributed among them. We cannot
keep more than our distributive
proportion Of metal money, and
any enlargement OF our paper cir.
culstion based on gold must neces-
sarily lead to the loss of some OF
OF our gold. The paper will, OF
course, remain here but when the
kiting times which will follow a
large increase in our paper shall
have ended, as they must, then,
perhaps spasmotlically, but surely,
proportionate share OF the gold
in the country must go abroad.
