Mr.. Hafner of Zurich, according to
Die Natur, finds that all the engineers
and workmen on the Jungfrau Railway
who are obliged to remain a considera-
BILE time in attitudes of about $500
meters above the sea level are liable To
disagreeable complaint. after eight
or ten days they are seized with violent
pains in several teeth on one side of
the jaw, and gums and cheek on the
same side becoming swollen. The
teeth are very sensitive to pressure, sc
that mastication is extremely painful
These symptoms increase in severity for
three days, then graually and entirely
disappear. 1t seems to be purely a
phenomenon Of acclimatization, for all
newcomers go through the complaint
and II appears never to recur

OUR GROWTH In POPULATTON.

There were but 5,300,0 600 people in Am

France had five times as many people (;
Germany and even Austria, had four
times Americas population; Italy had
three times as many and so had Great
Britain. Even Spain had double our
number of people, and little Portugal
was almost our rival in numbers. We
have more people now than any Euro
pean nation except Russia, which alone
leads us. We have as many people as
live in all Great Britain and France
combined. We have one-half more
people than Germany. We have, prac-
tically, 100000 people in the United

KING OF MEXICAN GAMBLERS.
Don Filipe Martel pays $1,000 a day
License, But Has Made Millions.

When. few years since, the Mexican
government sought to abolish gano-
ling throughout the land, the measure
was vigorously opposed, not only by
the profession itself. but by many of
the richest and most influential citl-
Zens Of the republic as well, the latter
element declaring that in the event OF
their being prohibited from their be-
loved and inherent pastime they would
remove ito some domain where their
rights and predilections would be re-
spected. The authorities, however, de-
termined not to be outdone, yet not
wishing to disregard outright the dea
mands Of the sporting fraternity, con-.
ceived the idea Of fixing a license, the
exorbitance of which would be pro-
ductive Of the same results as you'd
prohibition. a law was therefore e1S
tablished requiring every gambling re-
sort to pay a daily license OF $1,000.
The result was that on the same day
the ordinance was announced the
gambling houses throughout the coun-
try promptly closed their doors-al
but one. Don Filipe Martel had calm
ly waited until the last Of his contern-
poraries had gone to the wall, Where-
upon he presented himself at the Tax
Collectors Office in the City Of Mexico
and. depositing $1,000 in cash, modest
ly requested a license. The amazed Of
ficials could scarcely believe their
senses, but the coverted document was
nevertheless forthcoming, and by
nichtfall it had been noised all over

that evening as usual for business.
The effect of this display Of nerve
acted as magic upon those who had
opposed the refornaatory measure.
That night Martel's place was thronged
with the wealthiest sporting element in
the city. and the profits Of the estao-
lishment ran far into the thousands.
The following day others, stimulated

took out their license ana endeavored
TO resume. but to no avail. Martel had
won the patronage and support of the
players at a stroke and was quickly
left in sole possession. Of the field. AS
time went by his phenomenal success
continued, and one after another he
established branches in various por-
tions Of the city, for each Of which ne
pays an additional thousand dollars IL
cenSe.
When, eventually, it became appar-
ent TO the city administration that
Martel was there to stay, and possibly
not unmindful of the immense revenue
he was paying into the municipal
treasury, the authorities became recon
cied. They even added to his prestige
by appointing deputy inspector for
each OF his establishments, whose duty
IS 20 see that no unfair methods are
resorted 20 by either the management
or players. Up to the present period
Felipe Martei has acquired fortune
of over $1,000, 900. and the average daily
expense of conducting his establish
mcnts is the incredible sum Of $4,000.

Story of "The Lost Chord -

In London. in the early part Of this
decade. Col. Venting was a frequent
visitor at the houses Of many Of the
nobility, and became acquainted.
through his excellent knowledge Of mu-
sic. with many of the best musicians
Of the English metropolis.
"It wcs while there said Col. Wen
ting. that I first heard the story OF
the birth Of The Lost Chord song
that has been sung in every quarter OF
the globe. and which will live forever
If ever there was such a thing as IN
sDiration. the song was inspired.
There are very few Engllshmen
who do not remember Fred Sullivan,
the great comic star and brother OF Sir
Arthur Sullivan. he played in all the
original Gilbert and Sullivan operas
and has never been eQualled. He was
later followed by George Grossmlth.
"One day Sir Arthur Sullivn was no
titled that his brother Fred was very
i'll. He made every effort to reach the
house where his brother was lying at
the point of death. but arrived too late
to see him alive. The two brothers
were devoted to each other. and the
blow was bitter one for Sir Arthur
He was closeted with the body OF his
brother for two hours. at the eXpira-
ton Of which tine be came down stairs
and went to the piano. Throwing the
instrument open he began to play. and
the bar. The Lost Chord was evolved.
The composer sadly put his new COM
position on paper and stored it away.
THE song is the wall OF q throblnS
heart. the grief Of deSolation. All
through it's beautiful harmony can be
heard the strain Of grief. So profound
an impression did the association OF
the song with the death Of his brother
make on Sir Arthur that he is said to
have. ever at this late day, an aversion
to hearing it performed. New York

SOME GIANT SCALES
New Ones That VIII Weigh a Load
Of $50 Tons.

Everybody is perhaps aware that the
large scales upon which entire 1relgnl
cars with their loads Of many tons are
weighed are considered immense, DuI
with all their immensity Uncle sam
has gone all the railroads in this coun-
try one point better, says the Washing
ton Times. by Installing at the navy
yard one Of the largest pair Of scales
| in the country. This machine can out
weigh the largest railroad weighing
machine by fifty tons. and It's results
must be accurate to the pound, while
railroad scales are considered good
enough if they approach anywhere
near fifty pounds Of being correct The
new scales are placed on the track go
ing south from the great gun shops
and just opposite the forge shop. They
are forty-eight feet long and twelve
feet wide. and rest upon cement base
built upon long piles. The ground IS
somewhat low, and it was necessary 10
utilize the services Of pile drivers to
secure q stable foundation. which Is
one Of the requisites Of an accurate
weighing machine. The cost was about
$1,000.
MucQ OIL llS uue anu StuolliNS oiAEHtt~
NJ Jparatus was manufactured FOR
special use in the new machine, and
the completed structure is considered
model and marvel Of modern mechan-
ism and American ingenuity.
In order to illustrate the accuracy OF
the counterpoiSe of the machine TO
reporter the superintendent Of the
yards and docks picked up half brick
that was lying on the ground near by
and tossed it on the huge platform OF
, the machine He then consulted the
long brass lever in the reading box
along the side Of the scales and found
! that the record of the Of the brickbat
was just a pound.
Turning to the reporter he said that
the machine was so sensitive that It
could weigh anything from pound OF
sugar to trio Of 13-inch naval guns.
and weigh them accurately, though 1t
will probably exc out a long existence
at the famous gunShop without having
the chance to weigh an ounce OF the
! former. The capacity Of the new
scales IS $50 tons. or double the ca
pacity of the old scales, which has just
/ been replaced. A 13-inch gun weighs
about 35tons. and it can be readily
seen that the new scales can weigh
two of the monsters, reclining on
! forty. eight foot track. and not tax us
capacity to any great extent. All the
new guns of the navy yard will be
! weighed upon these colossal scales.
