Carnegie museum will, within a few
months. possess specimen OF the
white or two-horned rhinoceros. No
museum In the United States has such
an exhibit. and but four in all Europe,
according to the Pittsburg Post The
mount will stand SIX feet at the shoul-
ders, and measures thirteen feet from
root OF tail TO tip OF nose. Tho trustees
of the museum ut their regular meet.

chase of this unique specimen from
a famous taxideTmlc frm of London
The white rhinoceros Is thus called to
distinguish it from the onc-horned
species. which Is black though the
actual color Is gray slate. For years
the two-horned species was thought
to have become extinct, the rifles OF
needless sportsmen having eXterminat'
cd it. But some time ago six speci-
mems were discovered in an almost in
accessible corner OF MashonalnL3, in
Africa. No museum had realized that

jungles OF the South African continent.
Col. Corydon organized an expedition
and they secured four Of the six found
in the land OF the Mashonas. Three

The manufacture of passenger cars
is undergoing a radical change, and
it is difficult to predict the changes
which may take place in the construc-
tion In few years. The Wilson Car
company of this city is now undertake
ing, says the Springfield. Mass, Re-
publican. the manufacture of copper
covered cars, which IL Is thought will
greatly improve the durability OF the
cara. The invention is very recent,
and II was the result of much per-
sistent labor. For years men have
been at work endeavoring to discover
soma chemical substance which should
help preserve the cars. The Wason
company has seen so much merit In
the present discovery that it has ac-
cepted an order from the Erie rail-
road to manufacture twenty-nine cars
Of the new pattern. The only cars of
this character now in use are the sam
pie cars, and no other company ex-
eept the Wason company has yet at
tempted to build cars on this { .au.
The Consolidated road was the -.rst
to experiment with the copper cover
ing. The Fitchburg and Erie roads
at once had sample cars built, and the
result of the latter's experiment led
TO the order which the Wason COM
pany is now at work upon. 1t is
thought that not long hence these
,ars will be in common use. The cop
per passes through peculiar process
before II is placed on the cars. 1t is
oxidized and lacquered. and other ex-
perirlents are now being conducted
which will yet determine the exact
eoior in which these cars will appea

will leave the car practically a natural
color after the polish is worn OFF by

mately present more uniform color

pected that the greatest demand for
these cars win be from the southern
states and from South America. whero
samples have already been sent by
the Wason company. The weather in
the southern climates is much more
severe upon the cars than In the north.
The cars which the Wason company
has previously built for South Amer

expensive as the copper will be, and
much less durable.

" a fish cannot talk II Is certain
that some species of them can sing
The sound produced by one species of
eel is extremely musical, while the
Australian lung-fish gives out long
drawn horn. Tho shad is also musi-
cally inclined and gives out a note
which can be heard for a considerable
distance. Probably the most remark
ably sound-producing FISH is found in
the China seas. 1t was discovered by
Lieut. White of the British navy. Tho
lieutenant was engaged in some hydro
graphic survey work near the entrance
to a river. He anchored his vessel
for the night in shallow water AS
the darkness fell he heard coming up
from beneath the waves a strange
confusion of sounds. The sounds re-
senbled the changing of bells and the
beating of drums. and naturally filed
the lieutenant with astonishment. He
finally established the fact that th 2
strange noises came from a school OF
peculiar fish which were common in
those waters. Prof. Kollicher's recent
experiments were most interesting. He
made a submarine phonograph which
he let down to a depth of fifty fathoms
in the Mediterranean sea. Around the
instrument were placed electric lights
TO attract the fish. The professor con-
tinued his experiments for three
months and succeeded in getting rec
ord OF noises from many different ma
rine creatures. Among other results
which he obtained was the getting of
u clear record Of the cry of assonish-
ment of a shark which the FISH ut
tered as he dashed toward the glare OF
the electric lights. The sounds ut
tered by whales. especially when they
are near land, are more like talking
than singing. The whales, on such oc-
casions, give out not one sound but
several. In the Gulf of Mexico is
found brilliantly colored fish called
the haemulon. II has a peculiar call
which can be heard from one end of 8
long ship TO the other. A curious
thing about these experiments is thai
none of these fishes which are known
to make noises while in the water car
make sound when they are taken out
Of it.

Incredible as 1t may seem. in view
OF our large annual expectation OF
wheat to Europe and other countries
macaroni manufacturers of Pennsyl-
vania and New York are Obliged to
import a great proportion of the wheat
used by them in the manufacture or
macaroni and vermicelli. Hundreds OF
thousands of bushels OF wheat are an
nually imported by the macaroni
manufacturers, for which they are
obliged to pay higher price per bush
ell than American wheat brings abroad.
Even with the wheat brought from
abroad the manufacturers in the Unit
ed States are compelled TO use a large
quantity OF bread wheat for making
macaroni, and it is this use of the or
binary wheat bread that makes the
American macaroni of inferior quality
to that made in southern France and
Italy ly.-Washington Post,

A man. who has spent many years

The wheel has done more in secur-
ing good roads legislation and in
awakening a general interest in this
important movement than all other
agencies combined, and improved
highways constitute one OF the most
powerful magnets for drawing home
seekers away from the cities and towns
fields of the open country. Therefore
let credit be given to whom credit is
due. The trolley and the automobile
are playing an important part in the
movement countryward, but they are
later comers in the field. The wheel
leads the procession; it is the pioneer.

greer this year If he wishes to aspire
to the envlable position Of ''one who
always does the correct thing" II is
a hard position to Ill, and by the die
tates of fashion this year IL is more
difficult than ever before. For green

The light summer sultings this year

man who wishes to be in style and to
wear green look regretfully at all his
lovely negligee shirts laid away in his
drawers. Let him bid goodbye to
his favorite ties, for he can never use
them while he wears his green suit.
1t does not need to be the shade OF

goods at all events agree only to carry
such lines as have the green shade
greatly subdued. The reason they give
for their animadversion TO the green
Is that their customers, while satisfied
with the suit in itself, are never sat

tie can be worn with II and that the
