cause of the peculiar formation OF his
heart He is known as 'the man
with the musical heart. He is a
Russian, but he goes by the name OF
James Lewis in this country. His
real name is Joseph Millkowski. For
the last few years he has been ttavel-
ing in America, having visited Ger
many, France and Great Britain. He
carries with him a paper signed by
over $4,000 physicians, whom ne
claims have examined him and pro-
nounced his case without parallel.
During his stay in this city he has
been examined by clinic of students
and number of eminent physician'
besides. His heart as measured by
the X-ray is 8 by ii inches, and hi

They Are Generally Improvised With
Steel Plates or Sandbags.
Many dispatches from the Trans
vaal refer to the armored trains which
are being used to transport troops
and passengers through the district
in which military operations are going
on. and inquiry naturally arises as to
what constitutes train OF that kind.
It is nothing more than a train OF
ordinary freight cars which have been
strengthened on the inside with sheets
of metal and pierced with holes.
through which the rifles and small
field pieces may be used on an at
lacking party. A fat car or gondola,
with o heavy piece or two OF artillery,
may be q part of such train, aud IN
some instances enough of the closed
cars NAV be taken away to allow .
Maxim gun to be placed in position.
An army officer. in speaking OF these
trains. said: "They are always I'M
proyised and fitted mp with the ma
terial nearest at hand. This may be
railroad iron, sheets of steel or sand
bags. and sometimes nothing more
than heavy lumber. We used armored
trains in Porto Rico and in the Philip
pines. and the trains about which We
read as being used in the Transyaal
are probably in most respects iik'
those improvised portable strong
holds. There are some cars, like the
new steel cars, which have advantages
as means of transportation In coun

almost any kind of cars may be turne'

HARD TIMES IN AFRICA
No Money for Taxes, No Stock for
Subsistence.

New York, Oct. 1S.-South Africans ex-
plain the investigation in progress there
respecting concessions in the Transyaal
as a preliminary measure for the con-
fscation of the Netherlands Railway ard
other properties, says the Tribune's
London correspondents. They assert that
some resources mus be found for meet
Ing the indemnity claims of the loyal
lists of Natal and Cape Colony for the
destruction of their property, and the
loss of their cattle IND horses. Land
taxes will yield little when the two new
colonies are impoverished and the min
ing industry cannot be bled until it S re-
organized and is a f1oulishing' state. The
railways are the only assets which can
be made available at an early dat as the
basis for an adjustment of the indemnity
claims. The state railway of the Orange
River Colony, South Africans say, can be
conf1scated by military conquest and the
Netherlands company's property, they
believe, will share the same fate, as it
was subsidized by the Transvaal govern
ment and was the base of the Beer line
of military defense.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Several prominent

trainers. They form the main topic of

Il do not think said Richard Croker,
"uhat Lord Durham is right. English
boys have the same chance to learn the
American style of riding as our boys
have. We would he quick enough to fol-
low English style out here if English
jockeys taught us anything. There ought
TO be no restrictions as to nationality.
I uppose American trainers will not be
able to get any more licenses TO train at
Newmarket. Superiority OF American
jockeys consists lin putting the saddle
forward and the c%rouchins attitude.

THE ISLAND.

White Island, thirty miles distant
from New Zealand, to the northeast
is perhaps the most extraordinary ISL
and in the world. 1t is an enormous
mass of rock nearly three miles il cir
conference, rising 900 feet above the
sea, and is perpetually enveloped in dark
clouds, which are visible for nearly a
hundred miles. The island consists al
most entirely of sulphur, with a small
percentage of gypsum. In the interior
is a lake fully fifty acres in extent,
the water of which has a temperature
OF ITO deg. Fahrenheit. and is strongly
l~mpregnated with acids. One one side
of this lake are craters from which
steam escapes with great force and
noise, and it is this steam and vapor
from the lake which forms the dark
cloud which envelopes the island.

THE GIFT OF MELODY.
Composer Who Wrote Airs That Were
Too Catching.

The revival Of LA Belle Helene"
IN Paris has set everyone telling
stories of the brilliant composer,
among them NJ. Ernest Blum, who re-
counts a joke which he and some
friends played on Oifenbach when the
opera was about to be produced. The
composer was most anxious that his
airs should not get about before the
first night, and had asked all his COM
oany to be most careful not to let
nyone hear them, but his tunes were
30 catchy that it was impossible to
aclp singing them, One day Blum
md his friends were sitting opposite
0irenbach in a cafe when one Of them
began TO hum a leading air Of 'La
Belle Helene" "Who taught you
:hat?' cried Oircnbach, in rage.
NO one" replied Blum; Il have
known it for ages and they all
agreed that their nurses used to sing
it to them when they were children.
Presently Albert Wolff, who was one
Of the party, began to sing another Of
the airs. What" cried Olrenbach,
you know that, too?" 81 composed
it myself" said Wolff. Oirenbach
then saw that they were playing q
practical joke on him and demanded
the name Of the singer who had sung
them the opera. They refused, and
so the composer threatened that lie
would fine every one in the thcatcr
unless they told him, So Blum and
his friends stood up and began the
first chorus of the first act, and de-
clarod they would sing the finale be-
fore the whole cafe unless Of'cnb0ch
rclentcd. The composer in terror for
his music, gave in, beaten by his own
facility in writing music.-N. y.
