Krupp's.
New York World.

New 1Ork WOftu
Our Consul. General at Frankfort,
Mr.. Guenther, sends the State De-
partment some very interesting facts
as to Krupp's," the great provider of
the tools of war.
"Krupp's" at present has 4l,75O
people employed in making war ma
terials. To such huge proportions
has the business grown since it was
founded in 1910 by the grandfather
Of the man who now directs it.
"Krupp's" owns iron mines and iron
furnaces in various parts of Europe.
1t owns steamship lines to take them
to the points nearest the factories in
Germany. Within the last three
years KruPp's," recognizing the
growing importance of sea power, has
been building shipyards at Kiel, where
nearly three thousand men are already
employed, with certainty of more
than doubling the force before very
long.
"Krupp's" is a monopolist. But
its is not the kind OF monopoly that
seeks to sell inferior goods at high
prices by means of a complainant gov.
ernment. Its is the monopoly oi
merit-the ideal monopoly that is the
admiration OF all that love progress
and the despair of the slothful and the
incompetent.

srAa-sHAPEo ELECTRIC LAMP.
The Invention Of Worcester Man Of Special
Use In Sleeping and Parlor Cars.
New York Journal,

New York Journal.
Samuel B. Husselman, president of
the Worcester Optical company, has
invented a new incandescent electric
lamp, which, he believes, will revolu.
tionize incandescent lighting. His
patent will be issued March 81.
Robert T. Lincoln, president of the
Pullman Palace Car company, has
written to Mr.. Kusselman asking for
his price for the invention, as he
thinks the new style Of light would be
OF inestimable advantage in sleeping
cars and parlor coaches.
Mr.. Husselman calls his invention
the electric metallic filament lamp.
1t is made on the same principle as
the ordinary incandescent bulb lamp,
only that, instead of single slender
coil of carbon inside, there is a stron.
ger substitute.
Mr.. Husselman has invented fila
ment OF asbestos. iodine, aluminium
and alcohol. The asbestos is saturat-
ell with iodine and coated with filings
of aluminium. Crystalized alcohol is
applied as dust to the coating OF the
asbestos and the thread is then sub
iected to enormous heat.
The filament is to be put in the
bulb in a star.shaped coil and the
shane gives a much larger surface te

control of the richest gold fields in the
world, as it had before secured the
richest diamond fields.
Wherever gold has been discovered,
there the British have turned a visit
full and longing eye. When gold was
discovered in Alaska only few years
ago how quickly an effort was made to
extend the Canadian line far enough
westward to take in the gold fields!
How long would the people of our
Republic stand it, if foreigners from
any country in the world were to
come here and after getting rich in
our gold mines would undertake to
control our governments, and failing
to do so would endeavor to destroy it?
"No tlimsier pretext for robbery
aud murder ever emanated from the
wickedest Cabinet in Europe in its
palmiest days than the British de-
mand for five-year franchise in the
South African Republic. Not an
Englishman in the Transvaal would
renounce allegiance to the Queen.
"The question of the naturalization
of foreigners in the South African Re-
public is no more the business of the
British Government than are the nat.
uralization laws of the Republic of
Mexico n matter of concern to the Re-
public of the United States of Amer
lea.

The other railroads longer than 1000
miles follow in the order named:

1t is surprising to some people to
find so many well.known roads of the
east with comparatively small mileage.
The Boston & Albany is only 1874
miles long. In other words, the road
that unites the Hub with the capital
of the Empire State and is one OF the
busiest aud richest. roads on the conti-
nent, is scarcely more than one-twen-
tieth as long as the Burlington Route.
The Fitchburg road, favorably known
not only in New England but all over
the country, is exactly 458 miles long.
The Lackswanna line, which has be-
come widely known as . great trunk
line since western enterprise came to
direct its management, is less than
1000 miles long, and might be alb
sorbed as branch line by an one OF a
half dozen western railroads.
Some railroads with but little mile
mileage have been endowed with un-
commonly long names. The Beaver
Meadow, Tresckow & New Boston
railroad has all of three miles OF track
built and in actual operation. Some
day the superintendent of the depart.
ment of motive power and machinery
Of the Beaver Meadow, Tresckow &
New Boston railroad may take q trip
over his own line, stretching from
Beaver Meadow, Pa, all the way to
New Boston, Pa, total distance OF 81
miles.
The Manitou & Pixies Peak railroad,
the famous cog.whee, road ascending
Colorado's lofty peak, is nine miles
long, but if you tried to walk the ties
of this railroad you would think it
had n mileage OF 999 miles. The
Cairo railroad is four miles long. and
there is q small road in the Cstskill
mountains which has mileage of two
miles.
The most popular length of the
nearly 900 American railroads appears
to be less than 10 miles. There are
over 600 railroads less than this dis
tance in length. There are many
other interesting features which cur
sorry examination of the mileage of
American railroads will disclose. But
if you want to collect a>few bets from
your friends, just ask them to name
the four longest railroads in America.

An Estimate Of Paderewski.
New York Times,


A London paper credits "a Kansas
journals" with making the following
remarks about Paderewski:
"The fellow is deceitful. He
makes you think all the time he is 60
ing to play tune, but he never does.
He flirts all around a tune, but never
touches it. His hair looks like wig,
but it isn't. He deceives you in a
hundred ways. He makes the sweet
est sounds you ever heard that were
not a tune. He has his piano so
trained that it will keep right on play
ing when he is not touching it. He
reaches out slowly and strokes it,
drawing back his elbows like a man
brushing girls hair. You see the
moonlight, and you're there with
your girl, but somehow she doesn't
love you. You know the sorrow Of
that. and that's why We don't. like
Paderewski."

How an Elephant Helped Spread the Fame d
His Rival.
Saturday Evening Post.

Saturday Evening Post.
At one time James A. Bailey was
Barnum's most formidable rival in
the circus business. A short time be-
fore open hostilities began between
them one of Mr.. Bailey's large female
elephants gave birth to baby. This,
by the way, was the first baby ele-
phant ever born in captivity. 1t
proved an immense card for Mr..
Bailey. The birth was chronicled far
and wide over the country. Mr.. Bar
mum. quick to see the advantage Of
having SO important an attraction as
a real live American baby elephant,
telegraphed to his rival, Mr.. Bailey, as
follows: "Will give for your baby ell
ephant 100000" Mr.. Bailey wired
in answer: Will not sell at any
price,"
This seemed daring thing to do,
for $780, 900 was an enormous sum to
offer for tiny little beast. But re.
fuse he did, and hustled with his show
to meet the great Phineas T. Barnum
on his own ground, meanwhile pom
dering in his fertile brain o coup
which was to land Barnum q captive
on his back. By the time Mr.. Bailey
reached the region where the Barnum
show was exhibiting, the whole coun.
try was billed with huge posters on
which was most conspicuously printed
in flaming type, "What Barnum
Thinks of the Baby Elephant" and
underneath that heading was printed
Barnum's telegram to Mr.. Bailey offer.
ing the big sum for the animal. This
poster greeted Mr.. Barnum wherever
he went, and worried him very much.
To avoid seeing it, and in search of
better business for his show, he
changed the route of the latter and
made direct for the far West, leaving
Mr.. Bailey in undisputed possession OF
the fighting ground.
This defeat nettled Mr.. Rarnum.

DEWEY AND GEN. TAYLOR.
SpOkesman.Reyiew

Spokesman-Review.
Dewey's candidacy and its surround
ing conditions bear come resemblance
to the political situation in the cam
paign of l848. The Democratic ad-
ministration of President Polk had
conducted successful war of reprisal
and conquest with Mexico, and fur.
ther enlarged the territory OF the ma
ton by bringing in the disputed re-
gion OF Oregon. Here was discourage
ing prospect for the Wings, and to
meet it, they cast about for popular
candidate. He was found in the per-
son of General Zachary Taylor, who
had fought in the Mexican war with
distinguished gallantry and success,
just as Dewey fought under the ad-
ministration of President Mckinley in
our Spanish war. General Taylor,
like Admiral Dewey, had not been a
partisan, but the Whig leaders Oh.
tanned from him the admission that
while he had not voted at all in 1874,
if he had voted, it would have been
the Wing ticket. Upon that they
constructed this interesting platform
declaration:
Resolved, That General Taylor, in
saying that, had he voted in 1874, he
would have voted the Wing ticket,
gives us the assurance-and no better
is needed from a consistent and truth
seeking man-that his heart was with
us at the crisis of our political destiny
when Henry Clay was our candidate,
and not only when Wing principles
were well-defned and clearly asserted,
but Wing measures depended upon for
success. The heart that was with us
then is with US now, and, we have a
soldiers word of honor, and life of
public and private virtue as the secur-
ity."
President Polk declining to make
the race for reelection, the Demo-
cratic party nominated Lewis Cass of
Michigan for President, and William
o. Butler of Kentucky for Vice.Presi-
dent. The free soil convention nomi-
mated Martin Van Buren, of New
York for President, and Charles Fran.
els Adams of Massachusetts, for Vice.
President. General Taylor was chosen
by an electoral vote of 163 to 127 for
Cass, and by popular vote of 1,36O,.
COL, as against l.220,544 for Cass, and
29l, ,263 for Van Buren.
Points of difference between the sit
uation in 1848 and that of the present
year are the improbability that Presi-
dent Mckinley will decline to make
the race for reelection; the aggressive
presence of Bryan, with the rank and
file of the Democratic party with him /;
and the injudicious action of Admiral
Dewey in conveying the Dewey home
to his bride, and thereby removing
the bloom from the popular flower of
admiration.

BUT LONG ON BUSINESS.

Six Hundred Of the Nine Hundred American
Railroads Are Less Than Ten Miles in

General Passenger Agent Francis, of
the Burlington Route. sends out the
following interesting information re-

American railroads:
Exclusive of side and double tracks,
the mileage of the four longest roads
is as follows: Chicago & Northwest
ern, e,346 miles; Burlington Route,
1853; Santa Fe, 7,718; Canadian Pa
ci6c, 1854. Most persons guess the
Pennsylvania and the Southern Pa
cific among the first four. The South
ern Pacific ranks fifth with 1901
miles; then comes the Pennsylvania
with 1908 miles.

SIS TO HAvEAGoWN PERFUMEC
One Of Mrs. George GouId's Extrava sances -
ConsueIo'a Jasmine.

The fad OF perfuming among fash
ionable women has reached = point
where Oriental ortravagance of purse
and fancy beggars the chemists art.
From the delicately scented bas.
sinette and soft baby linen, redolent
of Florentine orris, to the ball room
where the frou.frou of smart femininity
exhalcs violent franrance, the costly
craze for perfume devices finds ex-
preston.
The aroma of pre- tty woman is her
hall mark. In the modish desire to
exhale an atmosphere of evanescent
fragrance, luxurious woman spends
for scented extravagances every season
q sum equal to a working mans wages
for year.
The Countess de Castellane, who is
said to out-Paris Parisians in her ex-
penditures for perfume, has carried an
ideal of French perfumers to u fanci-
full extreme. The sixteen four-story
trunks which accompanied the
countess on her recent visit to New
York were lined with perfumed fan.
mel, and through the gowns and
lingeries were strewn scented amulets,
stamped with the Castellane crest.
New York chemists offer similar
perfumed flannel, at $12 and SIG a
yard. An order for thirty yards from
a fashionable woman is not unusual.
Closets, cedar chests, hat boxes aud
every apartment containing dainty
toilet belongings aud lined with it,
and everywhere the pungent amulets
are scattered lavishly.
While violets continue the distinc-
tive perfume OF the ultra-fashionable,
the duchess of Marlborough has Gre
ated vogue for jasmine in London,
which has been taken up by certain
New York women.
At cost of $75 Mrs. George Gould
has had gown scented with jasmine
by a process that represents the last
word in the perfume extravaganza
The bodice and skirt were adjusted in
an enclosed frame over a lighted per-
fume lamp filled with jasmine essence
and left for twenty-four hours to ab-
sorb the delicate fumes.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor has collec-
ton of perfume lamps which burn
with some characteristic fragrance in
different rooms; peau d'Espagne in
the Moorish library, a breath of san.
dalwood in the Turkish smoking den
and her owns partments suggesting
the cremation of fresh violets.
Mrs. Ogden Mills particular fad is
beautiful linen, and her famous nap.
cry is kept fragrant with thyme and
carnation, and her linen closets fresh
with lavender blossoms. The "per.
fumed tub" luxury is a practical thing.
A miniature shower bath in silver, to
be filed with violet spray. has just
been made for Mrs. Ladenburg.
