Three gallons of coal oil goes as far in one of our Belgium lamps as five gal Ions does in a Rochester and at the same time gives one-fifth more light. All this means the saving of the price of lamp in one year, besides better light.

 Professor Carnelle. the medium. last night was persuaded to make the rounds with several business men and during the evening took occasion to teach some of the gamblers a lesson not soon to be forgotten.
 The party left Carnelle's office at s o'clock and proceeded at once to a well known saloon where an Americaniz5d form of Chinese lottery is operated. Being informed that a drawing would take place in a few moments the medi- un told his hearers that he would mark eight spots and they would be drawn first. The drawing took place. and, sure enough, the numbers selected by the medium were called out first. Going to another saloon. Carnelle observed a faro dealer shufriing for a new turn. Put those cards in the box" said the medium. and I will cali each turn be- fore they are touched" The dealer dil as requested. and, without a falter or mistake, each card was called off. The lookout man almost tainted. while the dealer asked to be relieved. and the medium walked off. conscious of his mysterious powers. Never before. and it is safe to say never again, will Phoe- nix see a medium like Carnelle. His power is absolutely wonderful and can not help but convince the most skepti- cal.

A Joke on the Operator.

They are telling a joke at the eX-
pense of an operator in telegraph
Office in this city who, by reason OF
his long experience at the business,
should have known better than to do
what he did. In telegraph offices it is
customary for the operators, before
leaving the Office at night, to cut of"
at the switchboard-in other words,
to break the circuit. During a storm
one night the wires tina. connect Mil
waukee with Racine became crossed
with the heavily charged feed wire
which supplies the current for the
Milwaukee and Racine trolley line.
When, on the following morning, the
operator went to cut in--that is, to re-
store the connection which had been
broken the night before-he found
that the heavy current had caused n
blaze at the board. He tried to blow
out the flame, but, failing in this we'll
known method. he lost ms head and
threw a pailful of water over the
switchboard. Now, as is well known,
water is one of the best conductors of
electricity in existence, consequently
when the confused operator dashed the
water against the board he crossed
every wire in it with the railway line,
causing a blaze of considerable pro-
portions. Things looked bad for a few
moments, and but for the timely ap-
pearance on the scene Of a cool-headed
lineman, who promptly pulled all the
wires out of the board, thus breaking
the current and extinguishing the
bls ze considerable damage might have
been done The associates of the luck
less operator have since had a good
deal of fun over the affair, and so soon
as the occurrence became known he
began to receive pointed telegramS

He was standing on the apron or the
dam at Wilson's fishing in the quies
water below, and had met with fair
success. Near the shore, on his right
hand, in little eddy, he noticed
barrel lying on its side in several feet
of water He wondered what it was
there for, and was so curious that he
left his fishing and went down to ex-
anime. He found that it was an old
molasses barrel and was lying SO that
he could see the bung hole. OF course.
the barrel was full of water, and the
man had no idea there was a
fish inside of it, but just for
curiosity he dropped his hook through
the hole and no sooner had it
landed there than the water was
boiling and the fisherman knew he
had trout on the other end.
He played him until the fish was tired,
and when he came to land him he
could not get him through the hole.
He secured saw and sawed piece
out of the top of the barrel near the
hole. The fish came out. 1t weighed
three pounds and was one of the hand
soonest squaretails caught in that sec
tion this year. One of the guides said
that the trout must have gone into
the barrel when small and had lived
on bugs and worms which had taken
up their abode inside.-Cleveland Plain

A Gutta Percha Nose.

An extraordinary operation was per-
formed a few days ago at Bellevue hos

boy lost his nose and his right eye in
a trolley car accident last June. In
order to save his life the doctors al
was decided to perform an operation
which should give the boy some relief
from the Disagreement of his face. A
gutta percha base was shaped, and
over this the skin was drawn together
with fine silk sutures and the wound
allowed to heal. The operation was

Largest Plant In the World.

"The largest plant in the world" said
an eminent naturalist to a Washington
Star writer the other day, "is proba-
bly, a gigantic seaweed. known as the
'nereocytis,' which frequently grows to
height of more than 300 feet. The
stem of the plant is as strong as an
ordinary rope, and large quantities OF
it are dried and used as rope by the
Inhabitants of the South sea islands.
where the curious vegetable ropes are
found This seaweed usually grows to

depth of from 200 to 300 feet. AS
soon as the plant takes root spear
shaped balloon is formed, which grows
with the stem toward the surface OF
the center. This balloon frequently
has diameter of six feet or more. 1t
has, OF course. an upward tendency,
and therefore, keeps the stem grow
ing until it floats on top of the water.
This enormous weed grows in such
large quantities that large meadows
like islands are formed, which are oft
en- so big as to impede navigation.
The ropes made from the stems of the
plant are used for building purposes,
and the balloons. when dried, make

Washington city is not the United

erican city. Its population is not typi-
cal. There is no commerce in Wash
ington. There is no manufacturing in
Washington. There are no large mer-
camille houses in Washington. 1t is
a city largely made up of drones-from
the idle attaches of legations to the
young army officers with soft
things" from the yawning govern
ment clerks, who kill flies with rulers,
to the lazy negroes who loaf and sleep
and snore in the galleries of congress.
1t is city of people without homes
except for the new rich who seek there

not attain in more settled communities
1t is city of boarding houses, inhab-
tied by men and women who live in
abJect fear of losing their government
jobs. There are other kinds of houses
than boarding houses there. There is
probably more lewd living in Wash
ington than in any city of its size in
the country. When the Edmunds law
against Illegal cohabitation was passed
for the benefit of the Utah mormons
the first case under it was a surprise.
1t came up in Washington city. which.

officer who had installed young wo-
man as his mistress was indicted by
her father, and threatened with fel-
on's cell. But Washington public opin-
ion was scandalized-not at the of
fense. but at the prosecution. So the

two lower front teeth, together with a
portion of the jawbone on either side

one of the back teeth to another op-
posite. This was enclosed in a tube
of the same metal of sufficient size to
permit it to rotate easily on the bar.
A tongue of red vulcaniZed rubber was
made to fit about the tube. The rear
