Arouud the world Backward.

The newspapers of the north have the fact that an enthusiastic sportsman has just left Brussels with the avowed intention of walking around the world backward. We shall certainly await his arrival in New ! Iork with great interest. The feat cf going around the world without a sou in- ones pocket has become an everyday matter-bicycle tours of the world are an old g,ory-therefore, there must be some new invention. by which the pub lie craving for notoriety may be grati- fed. The man who walks backward is, bound to be safe from accidents. as the automobile and other vehicles Of loco motion, if not out of comlcon human ity, at least out of admiration for creature of such absolute daring, must give A.rl light of way. We may next hear of some fanatic who has started out to 1rake the tour of the world walking on his hands. Truly, the pos
 abilities of globe trotting are in Rumerable-N Y. Herald.

BAKED BEANS TRAIN.
An Express That Casries Tons of This Food to E11led Boa-
 tonians.

Your true Bostonian who is forced to exist in New York has little to com fort him in his exile, says the Chicago Chronicle.
 There is only one, ,solace to his cup of bitterness, and that is his Sunday morning breakfast. And as he sits down compiacentiy to this one meal of all the week which reminds him of home he offers up a, fervent prayer of thanksgiving for two mercies. One is that he is still Bostonian, and the other is for the baked beans train
 The baked beans train comes roll ing into the Grand Central depot in New York every Sunday morning at about six o'clock. It comes in every other morning, tc be sure. but only on Sunday does it possess any special sig nificance. There iss always an express car attached, but on week days it is filled with miscellaneous cargo.
 Not so on Sunday mornings. Then there is penetrating aroma, which comes from stacks and stacks Of fresh ly baked beans in pets. They are con- signed to an enterprising purveyor'i in New York, who covers regular route with a number of delivery wagons. Within two hours &fe ST the train comes in the contents of the express car have been distributed.
 The Saturday night run out of Bos- ton is known among the train hands as the baked beans run.

CRAFT OF COAL STEALING.
How Eastern Railroads Are Victim ized by Those in That
 Industry.

Coal stealing from railroads, common along the lines of all coal-carrying rcsos, has been reduced to a system in Syracuse, the Post-Standard of that city says. The tt,;s-es work hard and take many risks, not only Of 6etection, but of bodily injury. Their methods would be called clever if employed in an honest business. The heaviest thiev- ing is Gone by men with sacks, who climb up Netween the cars of a. slow moving train with two or mere bushel sacks concealed under their clothing. As opportunity offers. they fill sack and throw it from the tram, 70 De picked up by accrmpicee- Another trick
 ado3ted by men who, dressed like tramps. board trains as if with the in tenticu of stealing a ride. These men travel along from one car to another, apparently seeking a comfortable place in which to lie down. but in their prog ress they manage to dislodge large amount of coal, which is subsequently picked up by the women and children who are employed in the industry. Large quantities of coal are stolen by these and ether methods, the plunder being disposed of to interruptions deal CTS, who subsequently, rob the honest poor by dishonest measure.

shoRT CHIMNEY STACKS.
The Days of the Tall Smoke BeIchinE Ones Are Numbered, It
 Is Said.

The days of the tall, smoke-belchine factory chimneys are numbered. ac- cording to writer in the Iron Tra0e Review. Instead, there are to be short stacks and blowers. For illustration. the experience of Boston manufacturing firm is related. Changes in the ar rangement of the works necessitated the removal Of the boiler plant, but if was cut of the question to take the chimney along. In it's stead fan hiover WITS installed on Iop of inc boilers and provided with :. srscial . a. zine 10 t.r.Nc it al just lLc sptUd re- quired- II is automatically rtguia4ed so that less than one pound drop in steam pressure greatly increases the draft staris up the fire and brings the pressure back to where it belongs. The fan works by suction, draws the gases from the boiler fiue and forces them out through a short stock extending only 31 feet above the boiler room floor The draught which may be produced is two CT three times stro han that of the chimney which haf sen dis carded and is just as stroas E. kinds of weather, while the coat of5e entire mechanicai-draught equipTa srt, includ- ing the stack, has been lrsl .1an one half of that of rev hir1aey Be cause of the stronger draught much cheaper fueli is burned, the saving being about s1o0o a year. It is possible with mechanical draught to use smaller boilers and still produce the required amount of steam.

TOO MANY PENNIES.
A Lumber Dealer Hns More Than He Wants or Cnn Use in
 Year or Two.

Over in Brooklyn there is lumber dealer who has learned what it is to have too much of good thing. He has occasional use for pennies. He has. among his customers man wh o makes hand. organs for ths use of tine street beggsrs. To this maker of Italian. street musicians, supplies he had sue cessfully applied on several occasions, for pennies in small amountss A week or 50 after the Tast of these applica- tons the hand organ maker drove up to the cfIice of the lumber merchant and with much effort managed to haul into the office nose bag such as horses, are fed from when standing on the street. There was smile of satisfac- ton on the face of the organ maker as, he lifted the bag and pumped it with a IeSounding and metallic clang on the. desk of the merchant, says the New, York Times,
 You like the pennies" he said. cor Giaily. as he beamed upon the lumb man. q lave here 2,5oO.of them. How. you like?n And he fairly bubbled over. with good nature.
 As il wouldn't do to offend a good. cust toner, the lumberman took the pennies and passed over billsi for them. But he took good care to let his GUS, toner know that he wouldn't need any. more small change for a year or two. a2tI that he might find some other place in which to unload the pennies q the organ grinders in the future

Nine tons of poultry. consisting of 2,169 geese. turkeys. chickens and ducks, from Boston. were landed re- gently at a London dock. where it was found that they had decayed On Inc voyage. They could not be condemned, however. till they had been loaded On wagons and cared to police court. where a police magistrate came ont. listened to the Inspectors story. satis- fled himself by his own senses tkat the fowls were unsound and ordered them to be destroyed: A police magistrate is apparently the only English official who can condemn bad meat. and this he can do only after listening 10 com plaint and examining the corpus de- lecti personally-in his own courtroom.

rhe Girl who Sold books.

There are really deeper joys in life than trying to buy books of a green salesgirl. A green hand is pretty bad in almost any department but when she is turned loose among the books her ignorance would make angels-if they happened to be of a literary turn of mind-weeP. The reporter had an experience with one of these girls the other day.

GORILLA LACKS CULTURE.
The Manlike Animals Have Very Short Thumbs, Which They
 Cannot TTtddle.

The gorilla and; chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they. can not do-that is, twiddIe their thumbs. says an exchange. In the gorilla the thumb is short and does not reach much beyond the bottom of the first joint of the forefinger. It is very much restricted i'll it's movements, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs nor turn them round so that the tips describe circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of gorilla as in the hand of man. but the thumbs of the monkey have no srpa rate fiexor or bending muscle. This is why a monkey always keeps the thumb on the sam side as the fingers and never bends it raund any object that may be grasred. In the gorilla the web between the finger extends to the sec ond joint, the finger tapers 0 the tips. and there is callosity on the lnuckles on which the animal rests when walk ing on all fours. There are many other strong points oferesemblance between the ape and man. but-well we wish to be charitable to, our fellow man and will therefore drop the subject.

SUFFRAGE A FAILURE.
Think About the WOman's Rights Question.

Colorado politicians will. almost to a man. in private conversation declare that woman suffrage is a failure and farce in our state, but one of them has khe nerve to say so over his own sig nature in the newspapers" said MT. F. R. Graham, leading business man of Durango, Col, to a Washington Post reporter.
 "As do not aspire to office, there is no reason for timidity on my part, and I unhesitatingly declare that the ex- in Coloratio has been as rank a piece of fooliahness as any people ever in- ficted uron themselves; it has done very little good, perhaps and q great deal more Of harm. and. though it may never be repealed. there is no possibil- ity of good coming out of it. The wom- en claim that their presence has made the elections cleaner, but I contend that they appropriate credit that does not belong to them. for. while the elections are better conducted than formerly, the Improvement is due to the Australian. system and rot to the women.
 ''The presence Of women in conven- tions and political meetings is to my mind degrading 10 them. Surrounded by lot of coarse men whom they would not elevate or refine in life time, they are entirely out of their ele- ment. Their vote in no way conduces to better governmentsthan if they were without the franchise for they vote on sentiment. or follow the lead of their husbands. and so the only result is to increase the humber of voters. There are thousands of good women in the state who are tired of the business and 7 very much regr.,+ that the ballot was ever conferred on their sex.

It is not kind of the San Francisco editor who rejected ''The Counting of Dinah Shadd," says a writer in Leslie's Weekly. to recall that he based his re- fusal on the ground that the story was scarcely equal to the standard of merit demanded by the magazine" Those were the days when Kipling was q struggling reporter.
 In this connection there is recalled the story of Kipling's third and last as signment to a news story. A big in surance. fraud had been unearthed and exposed by the paper 10 which Kipling was attached. Kipling was assigned to get 'second-day story" on the man chiefly involved in the frauds. and who was not yet arrested. Late in the after noon he walked into the office with facts sufficient to justify a three-column- space allowance. But somehow his own personality persisted in obtruding itself into the facts. and he presently drifted into q scathing satire. on the offender, written ir the inimita ble pen which has since made him famous

 system no pipes burst, as they often do when the plumber is called in.
 The processis the invention of Profs, Dugald C. Jackson Wood and Burgess. of the university, and was first tried in Madison, with the result that water flowed in from 12 to 20 minutes after the current was applied.
 The power used in these tests varied from 12 to go. horse power used for about quarter of an hour, and in each case the pipe operated on was warmed sufficiently so that it was comfortable 10 the hand. The process. when prop erly applied, cannot possibly cause in jury to the pipes or property in the vii einity CT to the persons cf passers near by. It is now in regular use. by the consent of the inventors, by the Madi- son Electric Light company who 0 iscnr- rying out an organized crusade against frozen service pipe7;n Madison. There are reported to be ss many es 4C5 frozen pipes in Madison. Tie work is adaptable to the conditions in any city. and requires suitable generator. of electricity. controlling devices and conducting wires. After the process is. properly understood it can be. e2pedi- uously operated by two intelligent workmen with conveyance to carry around the appliances, and the in ventors estimate that from ten to thirty separate s7-yice pipes may be thawsd out by such an outfit in day In thawing service pipes two are, cleared cut at one '.tha "" where two frozen. pipes are on the same block Chicago Times-Herald.
