Admir.r. Reception to . King.

The fondness of navy officers for
telling jokes at each others expense Is
well known. and their yarns, like the
traditions OF the Indians, are handed
down from one generation to the
next.
Years ago there was a brusque old
admiral upon whom many stores were
told-in most cases true ones.
At one time. when the war ship OF
which the admiral was in command
was of the coast of Portugal, the king
OF that country expressed a desire to
visit an American man-of-war.
The admiral received the party with
great cordiality, but, instead OF ad-
dressing the royal visitor as your ma
jesty," he invariably called him
king"
1t was Step this WAY, king" Look
out for your head. king" when show
ing him about the vessel. and before
his majesty departed the admiral con-
vulsed all within hearing by saying
Hospitality. king, come down to the
cabin and have a drink. k."-Lippincott's

Some years ago the astronomers en-
ployed at the observatory in Berlin
formally promised that they would cal
culate the orbits of all stars that might
be discovered, and as a result they
have now more work on their hands
than is agreeable to them. When
they made the promise they imagined
that not more than few stars would
be discovered each year, whereas %
have been discovered since March.
1901, and scientists are satisfied that
for some time stars will continue to
be found at the rate of 40 or more a
year.
The hard-working Berlin astrono-
mers thought few weeks ago that
they would be able to obtain a little
rest. bit were disappointed, for just
then Herr Wolff. a well-known Ger.
man scientist, discovered small plan.

for them to calculate it's orbit.

LOOK OUT FOR GERMANY.
That Country Is Foremost In Adopt
Ing Labor-savInp Machines

hsaboN-NANiuk
One is at once impressed with the
fact that the Germans have been
quicker than other nations TO take
advantage OF improved machinery anu
methods. An inspection of our eX-
ports to Germany in the last half
dozen years shows an extremely salts
factory increase in our sales of manu-
factured goods, but an analysis of the
character of those manufactures
brings out the fact that a large part
has been in labor-saving machines,
whose economies have at once been
turned against us.
There are some shops an Germany
that are quite as admirably fitted with
modern machinery as would be cor
responding shops with us, says Frank
A. Vanderlip in Scribner's, and with
such superior equipment and with
labor costing little If any more than
half what our labor is paid. the Ger
man manufacturer will make us look
to our iaurels.

lived a century after him, meeting
Lord Erskine, with whom he was
friendly, said: "Erskine, | mean to
write your epitaph when you die"
Doctor" answered the great lawyer,
lit is almost a temptation to commit
suicide" This recalls another story.
Gibbon, the historian, had a rival in a
French physician for the favor of a
titled lady, and the doctor was one
day annoyed by Gibbons monopoliz-
ing the lady's company. When my
Lady Elizabeth Foster is made i'll by
your twaddle," said the doctor in a
loud tone, Il will cure her" And
when my Lady Elizabeth Foster is
dead from your prescriptions" said
the historian. Il will immortalize her."

The Washington bee., 1902-01-04

He went across New York to the lakes,
and then by quick jumps he made San
Francisco and the other cities along
the coast. Back again he came and
the other day he arrived in Chicago.
He was returning to New Jersey.
From the time he left Newark he
had not spent one cent for car fare or
food. Neither had he stolen as much
as a penny's worth of anything
Against the habit of begging he had
no scruples. He outlined his position
on that question thus:
"As an American boy, l have
right TO see my country and so learn
TO love it more. l do not think that
when I ask a man or a woman for
money to help me on my way l am
imposing upon them. No person
that I have asked has refused me.
In Chicago l found they were very
kind"
Levy intends to do something in the
lecture field that no one has done so
far. He has made a feature of the
propaganda of truth about Chicago
and a few other towns, about which
he thinks the truth is yet to be told.
and it is to spread this propaganda
that he wants to get on a platform
with a pitcher of water in front of
him and with some dignfied chair
man to introduce him to the atten-
tion of his hearers.
His travels have taken from him all
touch of the parOchial and the pro-
vincial. He is a cosmopolitan, and
next year he intends to go abroad so
that he will have a chance of com
pairing Chicago with Rome. Paris and
London. He does not think he will
find any town where there are more
people on the street than there are
here, and he likes to see big crowds.
The 14-year-old traveller and lee
turer is much east down because he
lost the manuscript of one lecture he
had completed. This address treated
of conditions as they exist in Cali
fornia. in which state he found Los
Angeles to be the best town he met
in the far west. No author of an
cient or modern times ever lost a
manuscript under the circumstances
that attended the loss of the lecture
on California by Levy. 1t wasn't
through lack of postage, or a wrong
address, or the heartless cruelty of
an editor that the world is deprived
OF. a chance to hear that lecture. II
is because Levy rode through North
Dakota on the tender of long
freight train, and that his hands got
cold. When they were in this condi-
tion the first le ,ture dropped from
the car to the ground, and the train
was going too fast to enable Levy to
follow his treasure. He will take the
utmost care of his lecture on Chi
cagO.
