THE BILL CARRIED NO JOB.


If the Charleston appropriation
amendment had contained provisions
for some high-salaried commissioners
it's success might have been secured. the
ST. Louis fair affords five statesmen
t-of jobs a fat thing. The president,
under the terms of the bill, has ap-
pointed as government commissioners
Ex- Senator Carter, Of Montana, EX-
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, Ex-Sen-
ator Lindsay, of Kentucky, Elk Repre-
sentative Allen, Of Mississippi, and Ex-
Representative Mcbride, of Oregon
the term of each of whom expired with
the recently deceased congress. Their
duties are no more arduous than to
look after the expenditure of the five
million dollars appropriated for the
fair, for which they will receive year
ly salary of $4,000 each. The fact that
the president SO promptly and so be-
nevolently provided for Senator Carter
strengthens the belief that the Montana
man was obeying orders when he killed
the river and harbor bill with his 13
hour oration.

MR. HARRIsON's DEATH.


The death Of President Benjamin
Harrison will be widely regretted.
No man in America grew more in
public estimation With the passing
years than the ex-President. When he
was first nominated Tor the presidency,
the impression was general that his chief
merit was that he was the son of his
grandfather. That impression entirely
passed away during his term in the
White House. He came to be every
where regarded as one of the ablest
men who has filled the presidency. AS
a. private citizen, his influence was large
and he spoke his convictions upon
public questions with independence and
great ability.

Men Against Wolves
A Desperate Battle
Lynn Tew sprague, in Outing.

Lynn Tew Sprague, in Outing.
OF the 1erceness of a pack of hungry
wolves one story from hundreds of a
class told without exaggeration, may be
given: In the winter of 1860 a party of
English gentlemen who were wolf hunt
ing in Norway, drove from their inn to
locality infested by wolves, in a sledge
made with thick, high plank sides. They
were soon at their dangerous sport, but
the wolves proved numerous and bold be-
yond expectation or any previous expert
ence. The horses, becoming unmanage-
able, broke loose from the sledge and
were pulled down and devoured by the
wolves in the sight of the party. The
beasts also ate those of their own kind
which the hunters shot, and this seemed
to make them more bloodthirsty They
kept increasing in numbers, and grew
bolder as night fell. Finally, it became
necessary to overturn the sledge and
crawl under it to avoid the springs Of
the boldest of the beasts. With hunting
knives, holes were cut, through which the
hunters shot, but they became so be-
numbed with cold that their fire had lit
tie effect. When it grew dark the wolves
sWarmed upon their extemporized fort
ress, and so fierce and desperate were
they that in places they gnawed holes
through the wood. 1t was q night of agony
for the hunting party; but at daylight
the beasts became less bold, and the gen
tlemen were rescued by native hunters
The thick planking of the sledge alone
saved them On field where the remains
or nearly hundred wolves were counted.

The enemy fell back in rout,
Their captain almost dead
They dragged him past the danger-line,

And glanced at it once more.

STUDYING THE HEATLESS
FREELY LIGHT
Professors S. P. Langley and F. w.
Very, says Success, have contributed to
the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collec-
tions," as the result of recent expert
ments, most interesting and valuable
paper ON the light emitted by the freely,
which, in it's conclusions, is, of course,
equally applicable to all that class of
phenomena, organic and inorganic, usu-
ally referred to as being due to phosphor-
escence. In the introduction the authors
state that the object Of the paper is to
show, by the study of the radiation of the
hreny, that Is Is possible to produce light
without heat other than that in the light
itself; that this Is actually effected now
by natures processes, ard is, in a degree
hitherto unrealized cheaper in economy
of energy, and consequently of cost, than
our industrial processes They then go
on to explain that the waste in illuminat-
ing power in present met hods of lighting
Is very excessive, exceeding in some
cases, ninety-nine parts in one hundred,
so that for the energy expended, at least
100 times more light should, in theory, be
obtainable than we actually get by the
most widely used methods Of ilIumina-
tion.

Rated the Princess
A Telephone Mistake

Telephones can be very treacherous in
struments at times, says London paper.
One evening, when Prince of Wales, the
king was at public dinner at which he
was to speak. During the meal he told
an equerry to send for a book to which
he wished 20 refer for fact, from Marl-
borough House. TIE equerry gave the
necessary instructions, and the hotel
manager rang the royal residence up on
the telephone. After he had made him
self understood there was pause Of many
minutes. He rang again, then again, un-
til at last losing all patience he literally
shouted "Are-yOu-there? What the -
do you mean by keeping his royal high
ness waiting? Can you find the book or
not?" To his angry expostulations came
the quiet answer: 1--WE are very sorry to
keep you waiting; we are doing our best
to find the book, which shall be sent on
at once. Please tell my father this be-
cause he is SO particular" 1t was the
first, and doubtless he hopes it will be the
last, time that the manager had ever rated
princess through a telephone.

Tit-Bits.

The largest wholesale order for ''pedi-
grees' ever placed by a single American
citizen was worth 700 guineas to the for
tunate specialist" selected for the work.
The ancestor-hunter in question hailed
from Chicago, and so pleased was he with
his own pedigree that he ordered copies
to be prepared for each of his six broth
ers.
1t is notorious that wealthy citizens of
the United States are often tempted 'to
become Britishers" in the hope of some
day being made a lord These should
know that the highest possible honor at
tatnable by them is baronetcy or knight
hood for under no circumstances can a
peerage be given to a naturalized sub
ject
Though any American, descended from
British ancestors, can record his pedi-
gree at the College of Arms, and, if his
ancestors are there recorded as bearing
arms, can obtain a certificate of his own
right to them, on proof of LIS descent, it
should be borne in mind that the College
OF Arms in England, Lyon Office in Scot
land, and listers Office in Ireland can
not grant arms to an American citizen or
to any other foreigner.

MECHANICAL WONDER
OF MODERN TIMES

Senior Torres, an ingenious engineer Of
Madrid, has invented little machine
which is described as the most curious OF
it's kind that has ever been fashioned. 1t
is a mechanical device for the solution of
mathematical questions. Those who have
tested 1t say that within thirty seconds it
can solve the most difncult equation that
can be framed.
The apparatus looks like an ordinary
mill for grinding coffee, its component
parts being crank and number Of cop
per wheels. When an equation is to be
solved the crank is turned, and in eight or
ten revolutions the solution is arrived at.
Senor Torres has sent a model Of the
machine to the Academy Of Sciences at
Paris, and the French scientists who have
examined 1t say that it is one Of the Won
ders of the age.
