DUTY IN KIND.
One Case Whore . Thieving Turk v
Bitten.

Bitten.
The rapacity Of Turkish ofncials Of
all sorts is notorious. but that Of the
customs officers exceeds all other
kinds. An interesting instance OF pay
ing duty In kind Is to be recorded. An
official of the British embassy bought
in Paris a dress for his wife. for which
he paid flo. The customs ofhclals
valued 1t at ESQ and demanded duty
on that amount. The EnglishmAn re-
fused, and, knowing the law. said they
might keep the dress, paying rim the
value they had fixed upon 1t. less the
per cent. This was done. and q
month later at the public auction Of
conhscated goods he bought back the
dress for E6. thus getting the dress
for nothing and making profit Of
E39 d on the bargain. Justice Is
melted out rapidly in Turkey. On one
occasion Kurd picked up tobacco
box in the street. which was promptly
claimed by an Armenian. Just as they
we're coming to blows a policeman in
terfered. Both Armenian and Kurd
claimed the box, when the former sug-
gested that the Kurd should say what
was in it. Tobacco and cigarette pa

Is a liar." Here he smote the Kurd's
head. Furthermore. Allah be prais-

A time-limit incandescent lamp.
which will burn for a predetermined
number of hours and then 90 out, has
been invented in Germany. 1t Is ex-
ceedingly simple in construction and
entirely self-contained. In the base OF
the lamp Is mounted a copper tube in
which is contained a solution OF sui
phate Of copper. Into this dips cop
per wire which is so connected that the
current feeding the lamp flows through
It and the solution to the tube and
thence to the lamp filament. An cleo
trolytic action is set up by this ar
rangement, the wire dissolving In the
fluid and copper being deposited on the
walls of the tube. After a certain
length of time, depending upon the
size of the wire. the wire is complete
ly dissolved and the circuit broken.
By selecting the size and length Of the
wire the lamp may be made to extin-
guish itself after any fixed number Of
hours. Just what use will be made Of
this ingenious device Is not stated, but
1t is possible that families afflicted
with callers who stay late might find
use for a time-limit lamp.

Smart Horses In Fire Departments.

eff there is any animal that knows
more than a horse" remarked a men,
Der of the fire department the other
day to writer for the Washington
Post, I'D like to see it. l mean one
that knows more than a smart horse.
for there are fool horses as well as
fool people and once in awhile we get
one of these fool horses in the fire de-
partment. But l will say that our
horses as a rule are pretty smart and
knowing.
Il remember one we had in this CON-
pany some years ago that actually
could count. George was his name,
IL could remember rightly, and
George was one of those horses that
never did any more work than he was
obliged to. Not that he couldn't, but
run across, he was opposed to looking
for work. Well, every company in the
fire department has a certain district
to cover on first alarms. That is every
company responds to certain boxes on
the first alarm and doesn't go to others
except on special or general alarms.
Well sir, we didn't have George many
months before that horse came to know
our district just as well as any one Of
the men. He knew the boxes we went
out to on the first alarm, and it is a
fact that that horse got so that he'd
wait and count the first round before
he'd bulge out of his stall. If the
box was not in our district George
would walk leisurely to his place, but
If it was one We were due at on the
first alarm he would rush down to his
place. In those days we had to hitch
up on every alarm that came in,
whether it was in our district or not,
and stand hitched for Is minutes.
George knew this, of course, and that
was why he'd always take his time
going to his place when the box wasn't
in our district. And it's fact that If
he was eating when an outside box
came in he'd just keep on eating I'M
I'll tlIe IOTeuldu yelleu Oul u DTluS MIN
down to his place.
"Of course, now and then George
would miscount the box and rush
down to his place on box not in our
district. But when he did make a mis-
take like that, which was precious sell
dom, that horse would get so mad and
feel so bad about il that he wOuldn't
get over 1t for day or So"

The Fly as a Balioonist.

According to Messrs. 1. NJ. Aldrich
and L. A. Turley, two well-known
European biologists, man is not the
only living being who delights to go
skyward In a balloon. There are GER
tain flies, they say, which invariably
go through the air in balloons when
ever they get tired of flying in the Or
binary way. These airships are com
posed of small bubbles, which are ex-
uded from the bodies of the flies, and
the air In which suffices to support the
insects whenever their wings become
weary and the fancy takes them to ride
through the air on their tiny gossamer
bladders. They can go, it is said. IN
any desired direction by simply sway
ing their bodies toward the goal they
expect to reach.
In one of these curious airships the
biologists found the body of a very
small insect, and they are now wonder
ing whether it got in there by chance
or whether the proprietor of the bal
loon thoughtfully placed it there with
the object of feeding on it during its
aerial journey. AS an argument in
favor of the latter hypothesis they
point out that flies while travelling In
balloons cannot satisfy their hunger
unless they return to the earth.

As a matter of fact. the diamond
the true stone in every respects
being made every day. 1t requires,
however, a strong magnifying glass to
discern the largest yet produced-it is
a by-product-and there is not any
great prospect of disturbance in
Union square by anything likely to
take place in this direction.
The conditions requisite to the pro-
duction of diamond of any size-the
compression of a hydro-carbon vapor
under great heat and enormous pres
sure-have never yet been attained,
though Moissan got half way, and pro-
duced diamond specks in a mass of
white-hot cast iron quenched in cold
water.
Carbon. however, is precipitated from

ture of glow lamps, only great pressure
is required TO convert the carbon de-

purpose is being prepared in London,
and at no distant date the results.
whatever they may prove to be, will
be forthcoming.-New York News.

loves her garden very much was great
ly troubled because of the flocks of
hungry sparrows which came in fam

were rounding Fire Island when q ire
mendous shark was seen to jump OUT
of the water near the stern OF the
boat. Captain Ketchum rugged three
lines each as thick as an ordinary
clothesline. and baited the big hooks
with good-sized chunks Of pork. using
pieces Of wood about the size OF o

jerked her out of the boat. But she
held on, and with Captain Ketchum's
assistance commenced to haul In. She
had hooked a blue-nosed shark OF ire

to free itself. Mate Howell grabbed
the handle of sweeping brush. to
which was attached large-sized knife.
and when the shark had been pulled
to the side OF the boat he plunged 1t In
as far as it would go. This he did four
or five times. After a struggle OF
nearly fifteen minutes the shark was

the Hamburg observatory. A photo
graph was secured last August as

mile away, and from the distance OF
the tower, and the focal distance Of

calculate the breadth of the discharge
shown in the picture. 1t has been de-
termined that the flash was one-fifth
Of an inch wide. Ramifications shown
in the photograph on each side of the

The life of Henry Wilson, who rose
from the position of cObbler to vice.
president of the United States, should
be an encouragement to every poor
boy in America. No one has ever
climbed to greatness through more dis
couraging circumstances than he.
Born at Pennington, N. H., Febru-
airy 10, 1872, the son Of poor day
laborer, his real name was Jeremiah
Goliath. For some reason when he
was p years old he had his name
changed by act Of legislature to Henry
Wilson. When he was 10 years of age,
the future vice-president had to go to
work as a farm laborer. He was for
tunate enough to have access to books.
and he did great deal of reading.
When q years old, he walked to Ma
tick, Mass, learned the trade Of shoe
making, and by means of it supported
himself while he took course Of study
In Concord academy. After establish
Ing a good business as a manufacturer
of shoes he entered public life. Soon
he became favorably known as a po-
litical speaker. For ten years he was
sent to the legislature and in 1865 was
elected to the United States senate,
where he remained until 1878, when he
was elected to the vice-presidency with
General Grant as president He died
at Washington. November %, 1875, be-
fore the end of his term. Although
Wilson had exceptional opportunities
for becoming wealthy dishonesty, he
died a poor man.
Charles Sumner said that so poor
was Wilson that when elected vice
president he borrowed 500 from Sum-
ner to pay the expenses incidental to
the Observation-Disclosures On. j.
