Lie undertaking Of wrestling the king

adherents, called Birkebeiner, soon
increased in numbers, and in spite OF
the opposition Of the nobility, the
powerful clergy and the papal an.
athena he triumphed and was
crowned king Of Norway at Bergen
in the year 1874. Tor years after
ward, however, the Bagler faction,
led BY Bishop Nieolaus Arnessorl,
continued to embarrass him, till ~
January, 1902, he captured their
stronghold at Tunsberg after a pro-
tracted siege. Tie then proceeded to
Bergen, where, sitting on the throne,
he expired March 8, 1902. lie was
entombed in the great Christ church
within the precincts Of the present
Fortress Bergenhus. A copper plate
bore the following epitaph in Latin:
aTIere lies the ornament Of kings, the
stay and pillar Of faith, honor and
manhood, the model and exemplar
Of unfagging ability, the protector
and defender of the native soil and
paternal kingdom, the sustainer Of
bold colnsels, the terror OF his enc.
mics, the glory Of Norway, the fame
Of the nation, the strengthener OF
Justice, the enforcer Of laws, the joy
and delight Of his people. Chicago

adapted for making visible hot boxes
in machinery, is prepared BY a Ger

up equal parts Of mercuric iodide and
cupric iodide with enough distilled
water to form q thin paste. AT or
dinary temperature this mixture is
red, but it turns red at about 60 de-

COMPUTING THE SPEED.
An Irishman's Idea Of How Fast the
Cart Was Going.

= IS y
This sounds as If it came from the.
I variety stage. But, as q matter Of
fact, it is history, for occasionally
funny things happen in the courts, IN
spite Of the lawyers.
It was in a street accident case and
a good-humored lrishman was a Wit
ness.
The judge, lawyers and everybody
else were trying their best to extract
from the Irishman something about
the speed Of a cart.
'tWas it going fast?o asked the
Judge
CAV, yis, it were,a answered the
witness.
GLOW fast?"
ooh, purity fasht, yer honor.
@Well, how fast?'

"Was it as fast as a man can rum,

that the basis foran analogy was thus
supplied for him. aAs fasht as two

 at Agua Dulce.

Panama, Colombia, July 19.-The insur- gent gunboats Padilla and Darien ap- peared last night between Flamenco and Ottique Islands.

 The United States ship Ranger. which returned here al 10 o'clock from Chtriqui came within the. line of fire. During a part of the heavy firing she was back of Flamenco Island.
 A representative of the Associated Press was informed by United States Consul Gudger that American interests at Panama had not been materially in terefered with.
 The Government gunboat Boyaca, which is at La Boca. hurriedly completed re- pairs and is going out at o'clock. The Padilla has gone The Ranger left tht bay after the Padila started, taking the same course as the revolutionary gun boat.
 It is thought probable that great bat tie is being fought at Agua Dulce, what ever the result of this shall be to Gen eraI Herreras army General salazar inc Governor of Panama, said to the rep resentative of the Associated Press thf revolutionary forces will suffer terribly and an attack by them upon Panama will be rendered impossible, even If they are not defeated.

 New York, July 19,-While there is general expectation in Liverpool shipping circles that the Cunard Line will go into the Morgan combination. there is less excitement over 1t there than in London newspaper offices. says a London dis patch to the Tribune.
 This is because the wide-awake mer- chants have watched the effect of the formation of the United States Steel Cor poration and have observed that the ex- port of iron and steel from Germany and England to America has been increased. They assert that the results of the com bination in that trade are reduction of American production by the closing Of many unphoftable works. rise In prices through scarcity of the supply of metal for the home market, the reduction of American exports for foreign trade and increased exports from England and Ger many to fill the vacuum.
