Some Phenomenal Memories.

Prof e. s. Holden in HaFper's Magazine.
Many of the greatest men have had
phenomenal memories. CAESAR knew the
names of thousands of soldiers in his le-
gions. A modern man of science often has
a prodigious memory for special termin-
oIogy. Prof Asa Gray assured me that
he could at once recall the names of some
thing like twenty-five thousand plants:
Prof. Theodore GILL can do the same for
fishes Our memory Tor mere words Is
itself much more extensive than is gen.
orally admitted. The average weli-to-do
child OF two years of age has a vocabu-
larv of some FIVE hundred words, and its
father may have the command Of 10000
more The 10 900 verses of the 'Rig-Veda'
have for 1900 years been accurately pre-
served in the memory of the Brahmins.
Not one Brahmin alone. but thousands

smoke; is free from sulphur and its incident noxious gases; has less ashes and clinkers; is free from dust and dirt is more economical than anthracite, as it can be pur-
 chased at less cost; it can also be manufactured of any required den sity desired, making it to suit for
 any fuel purpose; and in handling there in an appreciable saving
 from dust, which in ordinary coke
 is about ten per cent.
 In addition to its use for domestic
 and manufacturing purposes, it will be of inestimable value to steam ships, and specially to war vessels, as it is smokeless, covering the movements at sea of fleets and squadrons, which are now perceiv- able at long distances. from the co lu umns and clouds of black smoke they send aloft; and for gen. erating steam two tons of it are equal to three of ordinary coal, thus saving one-third in the weight and bulk of the fuel now necessary to be carried by such vessels, which in large craft amounts to over 3o,ooo tons annually, which in the com mercial marine can be devoted to freight, and in navies can prolong voyages without coaling fully one- third. A given quantity of this coke occupies the same space of an equal quantity of anthracite, and can be made to enter a reduced space.
 At the same time as the samples of the coke were submitted there were also presented THE OASIS some very interesting statistics upon the fuel problem and the great in the commercial world which this new company will fill, which will be presented in another issue. At this time the subject will be permitted to rest after not ing the fact that MT. Shrewsbury has devoted many years and thou sands of dollars in costly expert ments, bringing to perfection the new process; and it is without doubt one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century. And there's millions in it."

A New Fuel.

In another column there appears this week the articles of incorpora- ton of the American Fuel & Pro- duct Manufacturing Co.,, which has purchased the patents of MT. Albert Shrewsbury of Washington, D. C.. covering his newly discovered pro- cesses and mechanical inventions for manufacture of fuel and other products of coal, and the rights to use the same in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Bel gium, Ger many, Austria and Aus tralia, and will operate hereunder in those countries. THE OASIS has also heen shown samples of coke prepared by MT. Shrewsbury's process and contrasted the same with ordinary coke, the contrast being far in favor of the former.
 By the process contemplated there is produced coke of density and consequent slowness of com b u stion approximating that of anthracite coal, which is far prefer able for the purposes for which said coal is used, and 1t can be made from ordinary bituminous coal.
 Among the qualities of this coke may be cited that it burns without

FOURTH SUB-P. 0. BRIDE.
Miss Mamie Smith Said to
Be the Wife of Philip
Muldoon, Jr.

Miss Mamie Smith, the pretty assist
ant at the Postoffice Sub-Station No. Z.
kept by John Craig on Jackson avenue,
near Forrest street, it is said is now the
bride of Philip Muldoon, letter carrier,
the son of Philip Muldoon, ex-member of
the Board of Education. The partieu-
lars of the marriage have been so care
fully guarded by the young couple that
only few of their intimate friends have
been let into the secret. and all efforts
of News reporter this morning to
learn the exact details were without
avail.
Neither Miss Smith nor Mr.. Muldoon
has been seen by his or her parents since
last Sunday afternoon and the greatest
anxiety was expressed over their abb
sence. The first information of the mar
riage, it is said. reached the Smith home
in the form of telegram yesterday
morning. According to rumor the tele-
gram contained the announcement Of
Smith and was addressed to her mother.
In 1t Miss Smith, it is alleged, stated that
she had been married and would be home
later to explain matters.
An older sister of Miss Smith said to a
News" reporter this morning
1--WE have not seen Mamie since Sum
day afternoon She has frequently gone
away before and remained with ralatives.
I cannot believe there is any truth In ru-
mors of the marriage. Sne is queer
girl and there is no telling what she will
do
The brides sister refused to talk further
on the subject.
The bride is daughter of Mrs. Alexan-
der Smith, a widow. who lives in apart
ments over the postoffice sub-station She
was employed by Mr.. Craig two years
ago. Young Muldoon had business daily
at the sub-station in connection with his
duties as a letter carrier.
Al M,,16 a1fh hay~ Of q q
was seen at her home, Boulevard and
Grant avenue. She knew nothing positive
about the marriage, and she was greatly
worried over the absence of ner son.
A friend of Miss Smith said she saw
Miss Smith on the Hill yesterday, and
that Miss Smith said she had been mar
r:ed that she had sent telegram to her
mother announcing her marriage, and she
wondered what her mother would think.
No one knew of the attachment between
the young couple.
Dan Cupid has been very busy in the
same postofflce sub-station in arranging q
series of marriage. Miss Smith is the
fourth assistant employed there who has
become bride. Her predecessors were
Miss Della Anderson, Miss Josephine
Rochner and Miss Mamie HaTrahew.

Judges Blair and Nevius Gel
Bouquets on the Opening
of the Term.

Floral gifts from the court attaches
adorned the desks of Judges Blair and
Nevius at the opening of the December
term of the county courts this morning.
Justice Collins, who has expressed him
self as averse to displays of the kind. re-
ceived no flowers.
The attendance of lawyers watching the
disposition of their various cases in the
court calendars was unusually large,
probably owing to the fact that the Bal
Association was in session in the rear
court froom prior to the arrival of the
Grand Jury headed by Foreman Peterson
and Sheriff Ruempler at 1890 O'Clock.
Justice Collins and Judge Blair were on
the bench and Deputy Clerk Edward Grit
ten administered the oath of office to each
member of the Grand Jury in MS usually
impressive manner, after the twenty
fourth member called, John Hefiich of
North Hudson, had been excused from
service, as is customary.
Grand Jury Clerk James Clark was next
sworn after which Justice Collins began
After the members of the Grand Jury
had retired to their room the calling Of

interesting cases called was thar of Mrs.
