SIR HIRAM STEVENS MAXIM.

Hiram Stevens Maxim went to Eng land in 1881. To him England is in debted for many things. He gave her the first automatic gun placed in a trunnioned cylinder having hydraulic cylinder and spring to take up the re- coil and return the gun to it's firing po- sition. He also gave her the first prac- tical application of electricity to the training of large guns. and first gave 10 the world the powerful explosive cordite.
 His rapid-fire guns of small caliber have probably added more to English success in South Africa than any oth CT weapon with which England's troops have been supplied. Every regiment in the field is supplied with them, they have played prominent part in every battle, have been the principal feature of equipment for every armored train, of which we have heard so much. and have been feared more by the Boers than any other feature of the English armament.
 His boyhood was spent in Sanger vile. Me, where he obtained a com mon school education, supplemented later by Q scientific knowledge ob- tained by study and attending lee lures. His father apprenticed him to a coach builder, and he served an ap- premiership. of four years, only to give it up at the end of that time for more congenial employment in various iron works. While in this country he patented many contrivances for both war and peace, but believing that his greatest possibilities lay in his ord nance patents, he went to England to cultivate a larger field for them. In addition to the knighthood bestowed by Queen Victoria he is a chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France, and a member of the great scientific soci- cites of this country and Europe.
 Among the most notable of his many inventions fitted for the pur- suits of peace may be mentioned the incandescent electric light, self-regu- lating cleo trical current machines, and a new process for the cheap and chemically pure manufacture of phos-
 phate anhydrate. Much of his en- ergy of recent years has been turned to the problem of aerial navigation, and it has been freely prophesied that if the problem is solved within the next few years it will be by Hiram Maxim. The other great producer of English ordnance stores who died so recently has equally as Interesting history. The father of William George Arm strong desired him to enter the pro- fession of law, and articled him to 8 solicitor in Newcastle, and later he be~arue a mariner ir this law business.

 -McFadden Whips Dal Hawkins.
 The somewhat fantastic attire of middle aged man on the Harlem River bridge, at 130th street. yesterday, at tracted much attention. The man wore a woman's turban on his head in which were stuck long green feathers. On his breast were numerous badges, and wound around him from neck to waist was about twenty-five feet of rubber gas tube.
 To Policeman Cleary. who inquired the reason for his unusual accoutre- ment. he exclaimed loudly:
 Why. don't you know me, young man? I am the late John c. Heenan. dead thirty years. and just reSurrect- ed. l have come back because l heard that John L. Sullivan has em- parked i'll the whiskey business. and I think I will make good assiSta mt to him. You see. if lie rides around in an automobile. it will naturally help him to have an old fashioned pugilist like me in his company"
 ''Oh. that's to get sample goods out of the whiSkey barrels replied the man. confdenIially. Besides. if our automobile breaks down we may use it for tires. The badges show I'm high up in the order of FOresterS.'
 Then the officer took him along to the East 12Gth street station. but not before the late John C. had made an attempt to practice a few swings on his countenancc. Later. at the Harlem police court. he repeated bis assertions and asked to be rcl1asod at once, as Sullivan was awaiting him.
 Magistrate Crane nhl"inoly placed an ambulance at his disnGSal. and in- stead of visiting lis friend the man went to the brain renair shop connect ed with Bellevue hospital.

THE POOL TOURNAMENT.

Boston, March 1.-Frank sherman of Washington more than discounted II. r. Stofft of Cleveland ill last nights match in the pool championship tour ney. He scored his total of 15O while Stofft had only secured 73 points. Sherman played his usual brilliant and steady game, but iad all the best of it in luck. The balls broke hard for the Cleveland player from the start and his i'll luck never left him. An example of the hard luck that crept into StoftS game came in the second frame. when with the balls all well spread and it looked easy for him to pocket the fifteen, he fouled and for feited his shot. Sherman getting eleven before he missed. Sherman put down the majority of the worries in twelve of the sixteen frames. while the lar geSt number that Stofft could get in one frame was eleven. Sherman. who had been the dark horse of the tour ney, is now generally conceded to be the coming champion. In all of his four games he has played phenomenal pool and has defeated his opponents by large margins. He has but two more games to play. They are with Grant Eby of Chicago and Clearwater hard ones, but Sherman's admirers feel confident that he will win. They base their opinion on the easy man. ner in which he defeated De Orc, and the fact that he easily defeated Stofft. who won from Clearwater. De Orc and Eby will play tonight.

"WIZARD" JACOB sCHAEFER.


 "Wizard" Jacob Schaefer is perform ing in his most brilliant style in Paris. A communication just received by Tom Gallagher. the veteran billardist, gives the details of two remarka ble games played by the American against Albert Fourneil. From the spot in both contests Schaefer ran the game out. a string of 25O points at 14-inch balk line. Fournell never had a shot at the balls. Schaefer is under con- tract at the Academic Olympia, where he meets all of the French experts larity. The 1S-incf balll line game is not popular with the Frenchman. They do not play it. They say that it is too difficult. Even the premier, Vigneaux, only plays with two shots within the mon professional method in this coun- try. The Wizards" single run of no points at the 1S-inch game has amazed made arrangements to play in Paris. He closed contract with Albert Gar nier by cable Wednesday and will be the American star in his academy for 1 the next three months. Howison will sail for Paris i'll a few days. Tom Gallagher. Edward Mclaughlin and Ora c. MorningstAr. q trio of profess sional class E players, will begin a handicap match for a purse of $25O. and the gate receipts at Maurice Daly's academy on March II. Gallagher and Mclaughlin play from scratch. 400 points while Morningstar is placed on the 300 mark.

Attorney General Knox is probably
beginning to understand territorial
circuit court judges better than he did
a few months ago. Judge Noyes of
Alaska, who was supported by the De-
partment of Justice against the charges
brought against him by the residents
within his jurisdiction, is now very
likely to have his walking ticket pre-
sented to him, 1t was hard for Attor-
ney General Knox to realize what auto
cratic behavior distant judges take up
on themselves. When a man is separ-
ated by many miles of ocean, and more
miles of land from his central authority
he is apt to cut up foolish capers. The
Attorney General is now getting on to
the true merits of a good many of
similar cases to that of Judge Noyes,

of the highest commercial Importance.
1t does not however help us with our

been clearly explained why a system
which works so well elsewhere, and
which is reported as communicating
with ships at sea, at considerable dis
tances from land, should not act with
the same precision between islands,
that seem ideally placed for carrying
