ELECTRICITY FROM WATER.

One of the most wonderful machines
ever built, and the only one of its kind
ever constructed on the pacific coast.
was shipped by the Union Iron Works of
San Francisco to the Standard Electric
company, at Blue Lakes, where it will be
put in position to turn the force of an
Immense water head into electrical pow
er. The machine consists of immense
water wheels, which viii be operated di-
reCtly by an enormous pressure of wa
ter gathered in a tlume, and these wheels
will b egeared to dynamas for the genera
ton of electric force which will be sent
hundreds of miles of Wire to operate
machinery and give light and power in
San Francisco and intermediate cities
and towns.
These machines were the result of long
tudy OF the application of known prin-
ciples, and were ordered by Prince Po-
niatoWski after he was Thoroughly salts
fed that they would utilrae the stored
force of the great body Of water lying
in the mountains. II will take about sixty
days to put the machine in place, and il
the expectations of the company are real.
lied it will be but a short time until
there will be a revolution in the cost OF
electrical m~eevhanies of all kinds.

estates. Owing to the discovery of salt
mines on their lands the Won Sternbergs
are among the wealthiest of the German
nobility.
Baron Won Herman, the handsomest
membe of the corps, has talent and
wealth. Count Won Haacke is a prime
favorite in Washington drawing rooms,
and the young woman on whom he be-
slows the title of countess will not re-
ceiye an empty honor.
Three continental ministers are bach
elors, the ENJOYS from Sweden and Nor
way. from and from the Meth
erlands. Mr.. Constantine Brun, who
comes from the land of the sagas and
the Morse gods, has, according to rumor,
succumbed to the charms of a pretty
Washington debutante and his marriage
may be one of the features of the COM
ing winter.
Baron Gevers is a clever diplomat
whose American mother has inspired
him with devotion toward our land.
This gentleman has been in America
but a few months, SO matrimonial ru-
NOR Regarding him are premature. He
is attached to his mother, whom he calls
the queen of women; perhaps he is hope
full of finding her counterpart.
An envoy from Nicaragua is a bach
elor, DIR. Luis F. Corea. He has spent
his entire diplomatic career in the United
States, coming first as secretary of the
Greater Republic of Central America and
afterwards acting as charge 'daffaires.
In the British embassy Sir Charles
Eliot, the British commissioner to
Samoa, IS a notable figure. He is young.
talented and handsome, has a good in
come and is able to bestow a title on
the lady of his choice. His career has
| been almost meteoric, and there is no
| doubt that before many years he will be
at the head of one of the important
| diplomatic posts of Great Britain.
Gerard A. Lowther belongs to the ia
nous family of which the Earl of Ions
| dale is the head. Mr.. Lowther may sue
| coed to a title should his eldest brother
die childless.

THIRTY TONS OF
RARE TREASUR RE

There is one place in the world where
more gold is to tbe found than has so
far come out of the Klondike. And,
stranger, still, in the same place, there
are more diamonds and other gems than
the total output of the South African
diamond fields. This spot, rich as the
mythical wealth of Alladin's palace, is
the home of a childless old man, whose
feeble life is creeping daily to its immi-
nent close.
Who can he be; this solitary man,
whose possessions are as vast n valu-
able as those of Monte Cristo? He is no
less a person than Pope Leo Kill, born
Riacomo Pecci, of a noble but poor fam
lily of carpineto, Italy, who entered upon
his pontiticate with almost nothing of
worldly possessions, and still lives the
life of a r%ecluse, eating sparsely, and

France has an array Of bachelors, all
welcome additions to drawing rooms and
clubs. Nj. Thiebaut, the charge d'affalr res
is somewhat delicate and does not ac-
cept man invitations. NJ. Oliver Taigny
is a brilliant young diplomat, famous for
his bon-mots and comic songs.
A new member of the embassy is nj.
Antaine de Godfrey, who's mother was
Miss Catherine Riggs, a daughter Of the
Washington banker. George q. Riggs.
This marriage to the minister from
rance during the civil war was one Of
the notable events Of the times. NJ. God

corps and the bellies Of American cities,
but me supply is qua to. the demand,
ln the ambaSsadOrial corps are two
gentlemen who have re-
pelled upids darts-the representative
PA ms majesty Wilhelm III of GERMANY.
Herr Theodore Won Hollenben. and the
envoy Of the car, Count Arthur Cassini.
Both are past 50, and even the most
hopeful must hesitate before counting
them among Washington's matrimonial
el:gibles.
They are very interesting in other
ways, however, and they hold much
power in their hands. IT is encouragins
to know that Count Cassini is an adj
mirer of American women. He believes
in the bond between Russia and Amer
lea which results from such marriages..
In the Russian emDassy are three
bachelors, Messrs. Alexander Zolenoy,
Pierre Rogestvensky and NJ. Routkow-
Sky, who though they have no titles, are
considered first-class diplomats, and to
succeed in this great art means wealth,
name and fame when you are serving
the cZar.
Two years ago the first secretary of
the Russian embassy, NJ. Gregoire de
Wollant, married Miss Helen Tisdale or
Washington. This marriage, as Count
Cassini says all Russian-American mar
riages are, has proved happy, and the de
Wollants are among the most sought
after people. at the capital.
DR.. Won Holleben, although at Heidel-
berg he was the hero of many affairs
of the heart and bears on his face the
red badge of courage obtained through
them. is'not an advocate of matrimony.
But if his attaches insist on gettin,,
married he gives them the advice of
HiaWatha's grandmother, "Choose a
maiden of your people," Futilely, how
ever, for the German embassy has fur
nlshed many of the latest international
romances. Baron Won Ketteler, VINO was
murdered in China, was formerly a sec
rotary to his country and went from

whose bedroom is furnished more hunfD-
~ than tine home of many a day laborer
in this country. His home, however. is
in the Vatican. a palace that contains
1000 rooms, and within which are stored
treasures that eclipse the wealth of the
klondike.
1t would be difficult to estimate pre-
cisely the total weight of gold in the
Vatican, but it is safe to say tina there
are ait least thirty tons of it, worth in
the neisEborhood of $40, 900, 600 at the
present price Of the u~nwrought metal.
OF this huge amount of gold, there
is probably not a single pound of the
metal that remains in it's virgin state.
Nearly every ounce Of it has passed
through the hands Of skilled artisans,
who nave worked it into countless
fomns, thus adding perhaps a third or
a quarter more to its value. Nor does
the alloy that is usually employed by the
goldsmith to give a durable quality to
objects made of the precious metal enter
at all into the composition of the treas
ures of the Vatican, which, being almost
entirely native ocerings to the Sovereign
Pontiff, are literally of solid gold.
liner, therefore, is an isolated corner
OF the city of Rome. about ten acres of

similar amount of lterritory in as much

plored.

TITLED BACHELORS AT THE CAPITAL

4 Why do American heiresses go abroad
TO capture European titles, when such
an excellent opportunity to become
.duchesses, countesses and harnesses
lies close at hand?
In the diplomatic corps in Washing
ton there are scores Of titled gentlemen,
some Of them scions Of the most ar.sto-
cratic houses Of the continent.
If rumor is reliable, they are not
averse to selecting American damsels
whose papas are well provided with the
treasures of this world.
In fact, there is a tradition that the
diplomats of the old world prefer Ameri-
can wives. They believe them to be more
clear-sighted, sharp-witted and %self-re-
liant than their European sisters. Ameri-
can girls hold some of the highest posts
OF honor in the old world courts. But
two need special mention-the wife of
Count on Waldersee, the German field
marshall lately chosen to the
international troops in China, and Lady
Curzon, the wife of the viceroy of India.
In Washington some of the most i'm
portant missions are in the hands of
diplomats with American wives. The
Spanish mini ster. has a charming wife,
who was Miss Virginia Lowery of Wash
ington. The minister from the Neither
lands, Baron w. A. F. Covers, who dur
ing the past winter trod a slippery path
owing to the intense feeling in this coun-
try regarding the Beers, is the son of
that Dutch minister of 80 years ago III
married Miss Catherine Wright of New
Jersey.
TITLED BACHELORS.
Thirty-four nations now send ambas-
Badors or ministers plenipotentiary to
Washington, the largest number ever yet
attained. In this Respondent procession
there are scores Of bachelors. Those
who make social problems a study say
that these young diplomats are sent for
the purpose of encouraging international
alliances. Every year there are mar
riages between members of the foreign
