 Whereas he had beer known in the Old Days as a Parlor Blacksmith, he now discovered that he was a Strong Card at Dinner Parties, especially if he stood for the Check. He got many a Laugh out of the antique Wheezes that he had cribbed from the Joke Book and when he arose to spring the prehistoric Toast everybody applauded before he said a Word. because that was the safest time to Applaud.
 Among other startling Discoveries made by the Popular Leader of the Smart Set was one concerning his bus mess Sagacity. He received long type written Letters from the Pneumatic Brothers, representing the Smoke Syn dicate offering to let him in on the Ground Floor provided he woulr rush Check by Return Mail, otherwise it would be Too Late
 It appeared from these Letters that the Syndicate had acquired all the Claims on the East Slope of the Bull kon Range and were within 20 feet of the well-known Mine that was turn ing out $S.000 a Minute.

Jacquet lavished on it all the resources of his art. and, what is rare in the life of any artist, succeeded far beyond his expectations and felt proud of his work. He had it beautiful ly framed at Naples, and on his return to Paris laid the souvenir picture with a respectful dedication at the feet Of the queen. She could not be called stingy, for she gave largely in charity. Perhaps she did not know the value of a wondrous painting. Be that as it may. she sent by her secretary a box to Jacquet. When he opened it h. found a purse in knitted blue and white silk and spangled with steel beads It was the work of Marie Anne lie and contained 30 fir. Jacquet in formed the secretary that he could not think Of selling the painting to the queen. He would, with her leave. keep the purse as a precious souvenir, but he would beg to return % fir. which might be added to the aims fund of her majesty.

HARVESTING A GLACIER 1 dsDs
Mount Rainier to Be the Servant of
 the Sound Cities.

No more remarkable enterprise has ever been projected in the great Pa cific northwest than the plan. now well under way. of harnessing the mighty glaciers of Mount Rainier to supply the growing cities of Puget sound-Seat1le, Tacoma, Everett-with light. heat. traction, and industrial power. Next to the harnessing of Niagara no electri- cal enterprise in the whole country. perhaps, presents more striking and picturesque features.
 The outpourings of the Mount Rain fer glaciers offer a practically ideal source of electrical power, both on ac- count of the constancy of their flow which they pitch down the mountain side. The peak itself. rising to a height of 1i,5OO feet. and exposed to the mois- ture bearing winds that for certain months of the year blow almost inces- sanity from the Pacific. gathers an inn mense weight of ice about its summit. The average annual rainfall on Mount Rainier is not less than 150 inches-or more than three times as much as in New York city. Nearly all this mois- ture Is precipitated in the form of snow which, converted into ice under pressure. melts continuously about the lower edges of the sixteen great gla- ciers which form the Rainier ice-cap. This supply of water,to is singularly constant. Even the slight diminution of flow in winter-which on Puget sound is rather a rainy season than winter, as customers understand winter-is compensated for by the fact that the sporgy soil of the national forest reserve below the snow line is then the source of an unusually heavy flow of water, thus fully making up for the lessened volume issuing from the glaciers above. The daily flow, too, Is regulated throughout the year in ac cordance with the well-known phe- nome.Dn of glacial tides" The sources of the streams rise-that is. to their maximum height, during the early aft ernoon, when the sun is hottest and the glaciers melt the fastest-sO that the increased volume of current reaches the power-house down stream just at the hour of early evening. when the de- mand for electricity is greatest in the cities in the valley below. The credit TOT InlS unique eileTpIlSt Ol SltSlei harnessing is due to the Stone and Webster electrical management of Bos- ton, which already control traction and lighting plants in the Puget sound cities, including the new "Interurban
 between Seattle and Tacoma; and work on it is already progressing, with the expectation that it will be completed early in 1904. When finished it will in- clude some of the most remarkable ar engagements known to engineering science. For one thing, it involves the creation of a waterfall nearly nine hundred feet high. The Puyallup river has been damned at a point near where it emerges from the glacier, and from the pool thus formed water is car ried through a Hume of very gradual descent along loop which follows the course of the river for rather more than ten miles. Having reached a point where the river bed lies nine hundred feet below in the canyon, the Hume dis
