IMPROVEMENTS MEAN DANGER.

The important improvements being
made by the Orlando Water works
Company, at its plant just north of
Orlando. in preparation for the install
lation of the new electric light depart
ment of the company's business, is
proving somewhat of a menace to the
people who drive teams. The water
works plant is located just where the
Seaboard Air Line and Plant System
Railroad tracks cross the clay wagon
road leading to Winter Park, Maitland
and Sanford. Wood for the use of the
water-works for fuel is unloaded from
the cars at this point and is stacked
up high into the air. Both railroads
run between emba nkments, ard the
crossing at best is dangerous, both
roads approaching in curves. At pres
ent building material of lumber brick
and mortar are piled everywhere, and
three or four sections of the immense
smokestack which will be used are ly-
ing upon the ground just beside the
woodway. Last week many runaways
were very narrowly averted, and there
is constant danger from this source,
which will continue when the new
plant with its noisy electrical machin-
cry is put into operation There is
great need Of the old road which skirt
ed Lake Ivanhoe, and which provided
a pleasant and safe ingress to and
egress from the city. This road was
permitted to be fenced up about two
years ago.

Queen yic,or,a.s ow, Ds,o+

The fact is not generally known that the Queen has private railway sta- tion. This is at Gosport, and is used by her majesty when embarking for Osborne. The station consists of a long semicircular platform. the end of which is connected with a pontoon, against which the royal yacht is us- ua1ly moored. It is a strange fact that no other member of the royal family ever uses this station.

Devil Worship in Korea.

It is said that Korans are a hand somer race than either the Japanese or Chinese. and at one time were far ahead of both of them in civilization
 Devil worship of the most abject or der is the secret of Korean decadence Superstition and fear of countless evil spirits, with the faint hope of propi- tiating a small minority of kindly de- mons, must be held accountable for the degeneration of the people whom nature did not fail to qualify for a splendid destiny. Buddhism and Con- fucianism have both been overthrown by Shamanism, the keynote of which is always sorcery. Wizards and witch doctors are the real rulers of Korea

Saved from Unintentional Self-Praise.
 The Buffalo Commercial tells this anecdote about General Grosvenor: Some of his hearers at Convention hall the other night noted with quiet enjoyment the readiness with which he pulled up and saved himself from one of those little embarrassing things one would rather have left unsaid. He began: I realize that it is now 9 o'clock, and there is another dian other gentleman, gentleman of dis tinction, who will speak to you later. etc. Of course, the conventional phrase, another distinguished gentle man, was on his tongues end. but before the first syllable was fairly formed he got together and gave the other gentleman the monopoly of dis tinction, as all distinguished gentle men are expected to do.''

New England Diets Good Points.

People are inclined to m sport of the New England diet of codfish and F oes and pork and beans, says Professor Atwater, "but the cod fish supplies protein, and, with the potato, which furnishes the starch, makes a well balanced food. The beans furnish the protein and starch, the pork the fat, and these are the least expensive food materials that can be obtained "-Boston Globe.
 Pays Smallest Rent.
 The peasant possessor of a piece of land in the district of Itzehoe, Den mark, pays what is believed to be the smallest rent paid by anybody in the world-a single penny. The land has been in his family for generations and escapes higher rent through the act of one of his ancestors in saving the life of Count Rantzau of Britenberg Castle.

most gifted sons, during the latter part
of the administration Of John Quincy

OF Mexico. which was then much dis

Mr.. Poinsett resided there. the city

danger from the violence OF the SOL

OF affording concealment to certain OBJ

quent passage occurs:

PhonoRraphic KnApaack.

The Photographic knapsack is the
invention of an Iowa genius. His idea
is to place an ordinary photograph
that has been fixed to play waltz music
in a knapsack that can be carried on
mans back. The photograph has
two sets of receivers to be placed at
the ears. These receivers are fitted into
an arrangement so that they can be re-
tanned at the ears without being held
by the hands.
The Photographic knapsack has
been designed for use at dances. The
young men carry them on their backs.
In beginning a waltz a man places one
set of receivers at his own ears and
the other at the ears of his fair part
ner. BY pulling cord dangling from
the Photographic knapsack the ma
chine is set in motion and waltz is
played to which the young man and his
partner merrily dance. The invention
will do away with orchestras and tin
sounding pianos, each male guest fur
nishing his own music for himself and
his partner-Philadelph Times.

The industrial and commercial pa
pers Of Continental Europe are calling
attention to the approaching competi-
ton of American corn oil. 1t is stated
that this oil Is greatly appreciated
from an industrial point of view, and
that its fine golden color and agree
able taste make it possible rival
for older and better known varieties
of table oil. Well-directed efforts have
been made for some time. notably at
the Paris Exposition, to establish this
product in foreign markets, and from
present indications it would appear
that they have been successful.
