A Remarkable Find,

A gentleman staying in hotel III
Dublin recently was startled by some
thing falling from the chimney on to
the fire. 1t proved to be a pocket
book, the contents of which afforded
certain evidence that they had been in
the chimney nearly a quarter of CEN
fury. The book contained some Wis
iting cards bearing the name Of a
Capt. Lambert, shilling's worth Of
penny stamps, a receipt for $50 dated
1879, a small calendar for the same
year and a ticket for a circular rail-
way tour with the same date. The
memory of the hotel does not go back
far enough to explain the mystery, but
there is little doubt that the pocket
book so strangely recovered affords a
clew to crime which may have baf-
fed the police twenty-three years ago.

Boat 1000 Years Old Found.

A remarkable discovery has been
made in County Mayo. Ireland, where
a wooden boat, believed to be nearly
1000 years old. has been dug up by
some laborers. The boat is beauti-
fully carved from the trunk of an oak
tree. 1t is forty-six feet long and
shows absolutely no signs of decay.
The wood was so hard that hatchets
made scarcely any impression on it.
Excursions are now being organized to
view this relic of Celtic handicraft,
which will shortly be taken to the
Dublin Museum.

Interesting Scientific Fact.

The recent changes in the nsbula
surrounding the new star IN Perseus
and the measurements made upon the
moving portions of the nebulosity give
a basis for brilliancy OF the star sys-
TEN. The conclusions are, in brief,
that the distance of the new star is
such that it's light weuld require about
$50 years to reach the earth. The phe-
nomena that we have witnessed took
place ABOUT $50 years ago, then, and
were contemporaneous with Oliver

Origin Of Ox-Tau Soup.

The origin Of many dainty dishes is
lost in obscurity, but an interesting
account is given Of the discovery OF
ox-tail soup. 1t is said to date from
the dark days of the French revolu-
ton, when many Of the nobility were
reduced to terrible straits. Till then
hides had been sent to the tannery
with the tails still attached and subse-
quently the tails were thrown away
A certain nobleman, being in state
of starvation, begged one Of these tails
and with it made soup. Since then the
demand for oX-tail soup has been great
enough to lead to it's being sometimes
made without tse tails!

CHILL WEATHER CAUSES
GREAT DEMAND FOR COAL
Public Buildings Almost Forced to Close Their
Doors-Along the River Front

The increased consumption Of coal In
this city caused by the cold weather OF
the past few days nearly resulted in the
closing OF several prominent buildings
yesterday
At the National Museum the last scrap
fngs OF the coal bin we're shoNsled into
the furnace az ? o'clock. and It was near
ly an hour later when a wagon arrived
with two tons to relieve the situation.
Several other loads shortly followed.
Other Of the Government buildings and q
number Of large apartment houses were
IN an equally precarious condition.
The shortage Of coal along the river
front resulted In the suspension OF the
trips Of the steamer Charles Manchester
TO Mount Vernon. The coal in her bunk
erB was exhausted. and the dealer VINO
holds the contract for furnishing coal
failed to replenish the supply. other
river boats are likely 20 suspend their
trips at almost any time.
Along the line Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad yesterday afternoon coal
was more plentiful than on any day for
the past week When the morning train
Of thirty cars arrived there were still
forty loaded with coal on the tracks. In
the afternoon two other trains came in.
bringing thirty-eight cars more Of coal.
Besides this the days receipts Of soft coal
was over thirty-ive cars.

LITTLE DOING IN THE
WORLD OF REAL ESTATE
Number of Transfers About Same as PreWou:
Week-PurchaSe Prices Usually Smdl.

There was but little doing in the real
estate market last week. so far as the
amount Of money involved in Individual
transactions is concerned. The number
OF transfers Of real estate was about
the same as that Of the week previous.
but the purchase prices we're usually
small In fact, no real estate deal OF
any magnitude was recorded last week.
Il Is expected that the extension OF
the lines Of the Washington Railway
along Columbia Road and old Six
teenth Street to Park Street. to be com
pleted in about two weeks. will give an
impetus TO dealings in real property in
that neiEhborhood.
Held an Experiment
When the work Of laying the tracks
of the Metropolitan line was begun
about five years ago it was held by
many an experiment It was also con-
sidered in the light Of the laying Of a
line for traffic in advance Of the growth
Of the population Of the territory
through which IL extended.
The Park Street line is necessary 70
provide facilities Of transportation for
the residents OF that section. The opin-
ION Of those who have watched the de-
velOpment Of the city is that the growth
is more marked in the northern part to-
ward Rock Creek and 10 the east along
the Eastern Branch than in other direc-
tions.
While building operations are never
extensively carried on in the winter. IL
is said that IL is as active now as in
past years. Some are Of the opinion that
the increased cost Of labor and material
has to some extent lessened the build
ing operations.
There are others in the business who.
however. take an entirely different view
OF the matter. One builder says that
while Il is true that material and labor
are higher now than several years ago
he can complete a building as cheaply
as before He explains This apparently
contradictory statement with the as.
sertion that the wOrkmen and mechanics
OF today are more skillful than they
