WANTS A ROMAN PALACE.
Emperor William Is Credited will
Entertaining Il Novel
Ambition.

It is said at Berlin that the en-
peror is seriously contemplating the
construction of a castle which shall
be IN all respects an exact facsimile
of those that were constructed in
the days of old Rome. If he carries
out this design all the domestics
who may be employed in the castle
will be obliged to speak Latin and
to wear a costume similar to that
worn by the household servants OF
the old Roman emperors. Zach room
will be decorated and furnished with
appropriate antiques and the exte-
rior of the building will be fash
toned in rigid conformance with the
style of architecture that was in
vogue under the Roman empire.
Emperor Williams friends are NOS
surprised that he should oe think
ing of building such castle, since
they know that for years he has
been deeply interested in Roman his
tory, and that on more than one oc-
casion he has taken. an active part
in performances which were de-
signed TO illustrate the life of Ro-
mans under the empire.
The emperor, if he constructs this
castle, will certainly visit it FREE
quently, and during his stay there
his guests and attendants will salute
bis as the Romans saluted their en-
peror.

UP-TO-DATE FIREBUG
Uses Electricity Instead of Kerosene
.Oil and Rags.
Ease with Which the Merchant Anx-
ious to Collect Insurance Can Plan
and Carry Out a ConfagratiOn
Detection Impossible

The substitution of effectively in
sulated electric lighting wires for the
time-honored kerosene oil can and
heap of paper and shavings in pro-
ducing incendiary fires is regarded as
an established fact by Harry III.
Hornsby, chief inspector in City Elec-
trician Edward b. Ellicott's Office at
Chicago.
Hornsby has come to the conclu-
sion that the modern merchant who
wants to realize money by collect
ing fire insurance has followed the
tendency of the day in replacing oil
with electricity.
1.-THE fuse which is used to pre-
vent trouble by protecting the cir
cults in the event of short circuit
or a grounding of the wire is made
of soft lead" Hornsby says. when
ever there is short circuit, or the
wires become grounded, the force OF
the current is taken up by the fuse,
which commences to glow. AS mat
tiers grow verse, the fuse gets hot
ter and hotter. Soon it reaches a
white heat and melts.
'Here is where the irebug does
some fine work. He places heap
of infiammable material or innocent
looking cotton under the fuse, and
it ignites at once. A little care will
produce short circuit, or ground
ed wires. The whole thing can be
timed or worked from a distance
and no one in the world can tell how
the fire was started"
An ordinance requiring men who
wire buildings and repair electric
wires and connections to be licensed
was introduced in the council last
year, and was sent to a committee,
where it has slept for months. 1t
is likely that Hornsby's report will
facilitate its passage.

las Plenty Faith.

DR.. n. P. Hulst, general manager
of the Oliver Mining company, said
recently to the Milwaukee Sentinel
that lie took little stock in the stories
that the iron mines of the Lake Sup
erior region would give out within
twenty years. DR.. HulSt is recognized
as an authority on the subject, and
when asked for his opinion, said: 81
believe the mines in that section are
good for fifty years at least lam not
SO confident as some are that there
are many new ranges yet to be dis
covered, but considering the known
ranges do not believe there will be
any iron ore famine, We are using
the richest iron in the world but in
time we will have to learn to use in
ferior grades, us fast as the better
grades run out"

GAME LAWS FIXED.
Legislature Fixes Game Laws and Makes
Important Changes.

Tn the estimation of S. F. Fuller
ton, executive agent of the state
game commission, the most import
ant piece of game legislation enacted
by the last legislature looking to the
protection of the game of the state
was that bill which makes it mis-
demeanor for man to be caught in a
field during the closed season with a
gun and dog. Heretofore men
have gone hunting during the closed
season and secured a bag of game, but
eluded the game wardens and those
who seek to protect the game out of
season because the latter could not
prove that the Fundamentally did any
shooting. Under the new law it is
taken for granted that man is a
hunter who is seen in Il field between
seasons with IA gun and dog, and
can be prosecuted, whether he actually
shoots anything or not.
While the Legislators did not enact
any radical anti-game laws. they did
amend the statutes in Il way which
has decided tendency to protect not
only the big animals in the forests,
the fowls that inhabit the low places
and marshes Of the state, but the fish
in the streams and rivers as well.
Through the passage of the Melicke
bill the duck law is changed, as ii
stops the sale in the state of ducks,
geese and other water fowl at any
time, preventing also their being
shipped out of the state by hunters
or dealers. The season remains the
same, from Sept. TO Jan. |.
The bill of E. F. Ferris stops the
sale of veniSOn, moose and other
kindred game in Minnesota, besides
preventing their meats being shipped
out Of the state. 1t pushes the sea-
son ahead ten days. it now open
ing on Nov. 10, instead of Nov /,
and closes on Nov. 30.
The trout season now opens on April
10, instead of May /, and closes as be-
fore, Sept. /. The season for fishing
for black bass now begins June /, in
stead Of May Is. and remains open
except during the months of March,
April and Nav.

SKELETON IN CHAINS

workmen busy with a telephone trench
in Newgate street, at the top OF old
Bailey, London, recently uncovered the
skeleton OF some former malefactor who
had been hanged In chains and buried
under the soaffold. An immense rusty
ring. with two heavy shackles attached
was fastened around the thigh bone.
Each shac kle link was fifteen and one
half inches long and OF iron two inches
around. A smaller link connected the
two main links 10 the ring.
Officials in the postoffce heard OF the
discovery and went out to investigate.
They took the skeleton to st. Martin s-le-
Grand. measured IL. counted the teeth.
recorded the skeletons dimensions. and
above ALL preserved the thigh bone with
its shackles just as they were when un-
covered.
The skeleton is that OF powerful man.
Only the heavy lower jaw remains with
teeth intact. In this the teeth are strong
and nearly all are there. Major Griffths,
the historian of Newgate Prison. says
that as the walls of the present Newgate
are Identical with those of the old. the
skeleton is that OF a criminal hanged i'm
chains outside the prison wall.
Until 1892 this practice was common"
said Major Grifiths. THE order was that
the bodies of all prisoners convicted OF
murder should either be hung in chains
or buried under the gallows on which
they were executed These penalties were
10 be in the discretion OF the court. and
evidently this victim received both of
them
AS against this possibility. however. the
major says that often prisoners I'm chains
In Neweate died and were buried In their
shackles I'm the most convenient place
outside the walls. That he was an ugly
prisoner. the major points TO the shackles

The British postoffice authorities have

come the nucleus of a colectiOn.--Chi-
