JEWELED MAPS.
Shahs of Persia Possessed Such Things
MANY Years Ago.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Jeweled maps of great value are among
the possessions of certain famous men.
Not long ago one was presented to Col.
Marchand, the French explorer. of Fa-
shoda fame by a number of his admirers.
1t comprised a map of Africa in blue en-
amel with the two routes followed by the
gallant traveller traced in brilliants. An
especially large diamond indicated the lati-
tude and longitude of the town which
brought fame to the intrepid Frenchman.
The map, which but for political reasons
would have been presented some little time
ago was probably suggested by the jew
eled map of France that the car presented
to the French nation in 1900, which. after
its exhibition at the exposition or that
year, was added to the treasures of the
Louvre About one square yard in size,
this record map took three years to make,
and cost more than $ooo0Oo.
1t Is difficult to conceive or SO large
sum being expended upon single map,
but when it is pointed out that this work
of art is a veritable mosaic of gems the
problem presents no further mysteries. AS
a matter of fact, each department in the
country was represented by a special stone,
such as malachite, onyx, agate and jade,
cut to exactly coincide with its confgura-
ton, while the rivers were marked in plati-
mum and the sea In lapis lazuli; each of
the large cities, to the number of 1906 was,
as in the case of Fashoda in the previous
example of jeweled cartography. repre-
scented by a gem. Thus. ruby occupied
the site of Paris, an opal stood for Bor-
deaux. turquoise for Lille an emerald
for Marseilles and diamond for Lyons
This map was at the time OF its EXPOSE
ton mounted on marble embellished with
ermine. and was surmounted by the Rus
sian and French flags, which were to be
replaced by frame of solid silver.
The jeweled map, by the way. is no TWEEN
tieth century idea, for long before the
dawn of the present century the .shahs of
Persia reckoned jeweled map among
their most valued possessions. The map in
question, to be perfectly accurate, is a
great globe of gold. representing the world,
and upon It the colored effects of the IA
miliar sphere of the school room are OBJ
tanned by studying the area Of each coun-
try with precious stones.
A few months ago a French bride re-
ceived from geographically inclined friend

the fear obtains that 1t will be impossible
to secure men to drive them, for the rea-
son that there is limit to human endur-
ance In this connection one of the most
prominent locomotive engineers in the
country said:
1T matters not in the least how high rate
of speed engine builders develop, it wiz not
in my opinion, be hard task to employ
men to drive them. With the assurance of
a clear track, it is just as easy for an en-
gineer to run his train at rate of 100
miles an hour as it would be to cover half
that distance in the same period of time.
All that Is necessary to improve the pres
ent system is to keep the track as abso-
state of affairs does not exist at the pres
ent time. Granting that every reasonable
improvement is made in the manner have
Indicated see no reason to fear scarcity
of men to run 10O-mile-an-hour trains
Locomotive engineers are gradually de-
veloped to that high point of efficiency
wherein they safely drive top-notch speed
trains. From fireman a shifter' they
are gradually promoted as they become ex-
pertenced and demonstrate their qualities
and reliability. From the position of fire.
man the first promotion is to be engineer
of the 'shifter,' and from the latter to en-
gineer of local freight, then to local pas
senger and then express train, and
finally, after they have been thus tried out
and are found to be all there. they assume
the responsibility Of driving the fastest
trains on the road. Thus, 1t will be seen
that an engineer of a limited or Special
mas naturally grown into the position and
II assured Of a clear track ninety-nine
times out Of one hundred he will safely
roll his train into the station on time

RUssIA's CHINESE REGIMENTS.
Nine of Them in Manchuria-Sugges
tions From Japan.

A dispatch from Victoria B. c., yesterday
says: Mail advices were received here that
New-Chwang Is being strengthened by the
Russians, who have expressed to the Chi
nese authorities that this course was made
inevitable. as Russia may soon come into
conflict with a certain power. 1t is also
ments of Chinese troops in Manchuria as
an auxiliary to the regular garrisons. Th.
number 1t is said will be increased to
10000 within three years.
The Yomiukel Shimbun of Toxic has an
interview with Prince Takahashi, one OF
Japans eminent juriSts, in which the Man
churian question is discussed. He suggests
that If Russia refuses to withdraw her
troops from Manchuria Japan also should
send an army to Moukden. Manchuria he
says. would then be maintained as neutral
territory.
The Asahi Shimbun, discussing the Man.
churian question, suggests that Japan take
advantage of the provision of her COM
mercial treaty with China to open new
ports in Manchuria. Hung Kiang, at the
mouth of the Yalu and a point higher up
the Ialu, are the places suggested. The
Asahi says that what Hankow is to Sha 1g-
hal Hung-kiang is to New-Chwang and
the opening of the port would facilitate
Japan's Manchurian trade.
News comes from Shanghai of an insur-
rection which broke out at Hetaching-t u
and Meng-Hsien, in Human province. IN
dignant at the Russian officials, on the
pretense OF having TO raise funds for the
indemnity to the foreign powers the inha b.
itants revolted The yamens at both places
were attacked and destroyed and the OH
Gals fled. The rising is interfering with
the operations of the Picking syndicate
(British), which has mining and railway
works In Honan.

much as today and yesterday. The states
men certainly long for such a period for
they are most of them elderly men, and
besides distrusting much of what is called
progress, they are a little bewildered by
the far-reaching effects of everything they
do. A king or premier nowadays cannot
bling for the disturbance he may create
upon some far distant shore. Increased ia
cility of intercommunication has brought
to them at least nothing but wider respon-
sibilities and what they dislike even more,
a more peremptory necessity for hurry.
They are expected to repair the ruin
wrought by earthquake or a tornado
before the echoes of the explosion have
completely died away. If the legations in
Picking were attacked next Monday, every
statesman in Europe would be expected on
Tuesday to declare his policy. and on We'd
nesday to have an army on the sea. The
Christian churches confess the same de-
sire for rest for tranquility is one of their
avowed ends; almost everything that hap
pens annoys or menaces them, and amidst
the roar of theological and ecclesiastical
controversy they have sense of growing .

cessful, declare that "the pace is too fast"

.KENSINGTON. Md. May 5. 1903.
Following the robbery at Washington
Grove. Md. Thursday night Kensington
was visited Friday night The doors of
several houses were tried and attempts
to use keys were made. The marshal and
his deputy were quietly notified and several
citizens joined them in the search for the
robbers. but in spite of the caution exer-
eised they were unable to surprise them at
their work. No losses have been reported
and it is therefore supposed the providers
were frightened from the town.

PRAISES GERMAN NAVY.
Admiral Melville Speaks at Engineers
Club in PHILADELPHIA,

1.-The rise of Germany as naval and
maritime power during the past thirty
years has surprised the world. I belive
that her battle ships for their tonnage, are
the best afioat," said Rear Admiral George
w. Melville. chief of the engineering bu-
reau of the navy. in a paper read by him
last night before the Engineers Club at
Philadelphia.
Admiral Melville took for his subject
''The Military Importance of Naval Engi-
neering Experiments" during which he re-
ferred to the scope and purpose of the ma
val engineering laboratory that is to be es-
tablished at Annapolis.
In discussing the statement that German
battle ships for their tonnage are the best
afioat he said 1t was because they pos
sessed a triple screw installation of ma
chinery, thus giving the motive power of
larger battle ships economical, structural
and tactical advantage over similar high
powered vessels of rival nations.
THE success of Germany" he said, "can
be accounted for only by recognizing the
fact that study, reflection and research
must have been expended in the prepara-
ton of plans. in the building up and the or
ganization of the shipyards, and in laying
out and carrying on the work of construc-
ton"

Sunday at Sharon Springs.

President Roosevelt attended the little
Methodist Church at Sharon Springs. Kan,
yesterday and listened to most instructive
sermon by a Presbyterian minister Rev.
William Carter of Kansas City, who went
there for that purpose. A number of pas
tors from the neighborhood also partici-
pated.
A pleasing incident occurred as the ser
vices began. Two little girls were standing
in the aisle near the Presidents pew. AS
soon as the President saw them he drew
them into his pew, and during the singing
the three shared the same hymn book. At
the conclusion of the services the Presi-
dent shook hands with a large number of
people. In the afternoon he went for a
long horseback ride. accompanied by Sena-
tors Burton and Long and President But
Ter of Columbia College.
Senator Warren of Wyoming and Civil
Service Commissioner Foulke joined the
President there.
The town was full Of strangers. who went
to see the President. some of them riding
fifty miles for that purpose. Sharon
Springs admirer of the President presented
to him today a two-weeks- old badger The
little animal is as friendly as can be. and

the growing menagerie Of the Roosevelt
children.

about To take in the course of a very elab-
crate honeymoon tour was marked by
line of lapis laZuli, while the names Oh the
towns at which the happy couple would
make a more or less prolonged stay were
lettered in enamel.
This gift had in its way distinct mean al.
ing. but. on the other hand, it is diHcult
to understand why the friends OF the
Spanish premier. Canovas. who was assas as
sinated in 1897. should elect to send 10 ms
the Philippine Islands.
The map in question. which has been
valued at some 500, 900, was, however, q
,erv remarkable gift as can be gathered
from it's description, which records that 1T
was in relief and in solid gold, with each
CITY marked by ruby. The inscription was
outlined in sapphires, and the dedication
appeared in brilliants, while the frame or
gold and precious stones was surmounteo

crowds to the shore by the thousands.
Since Wednesday morning all trains from
New York and Philadelphia have been run
in several sections and every section has
been crowded. While the influx was I'M
expected. there is no lack of accommoda-
lions. as practically all of the large hotels
are now open.
The bookings for May are heavy at near
ly all of the beach front hotels, but most
of these reservations dated from next
week. All indications now point to con-
tinuouS summer season from this time on.
The regular summer season opens next
month and enough patronage is booked
for this month to assure its success from
financial standpoint. But the forward sea-
son is not confined to the hotels. Scores of
cottagers have come down during the past
week and have occupied their seaside homes
fully a month in advance of the usual time
There is a general expectation of long
and hot summer. and the railroads are pre-
pairing to put the summer schedule into
effect several weeks in advance of the
usual date.
The city was invaded today by an army
of prominent Cuban and Porto Rican visit
ors. There are about two hundred in the
party and they are on a sight seeing tour
of the United States: The venerable Cen
eral Gomez to have accompanied the
party but has not yet put In his appear

and will then proceed to Washington and

recent speed trial has resulted in
revival of the project to build an air line
electric road between Camden and Attain
tic City. The promoters of this scheme
propose using the suspended car on a sin
gle rail and contend that the distance be-
tween the Delaware river and the seashore
on an. air line can be covered with ease and
safety in thirty minutes. 1t is said that
such road can be built at less expense
than surface line and that the cost of
operation would be less than half of that
of steam road.
The Hotel Victoria property. on South
Carolina avenue near the beach, has been
purchased by Charles B. Prettyman of
Philadelphia for 100000 Mr.. Prettyman
will erect fine modern hotel on the site
Immediately and will have it in operation
The famous old hotel once conducted by
Squire MacMullin of Philadelphia, at Pa
cific and Mississippi avenues. has passed
to the possession of Robert Delaney and
will soon lose it's identity under the name
of the Hotel Delaney. The American hotel
and summer garden at New York avenue
and the beach is fast nearing completion
and will be open for the reception of guests
within ten days. AS an evidence of the de-
mand for room on the ocean front every
apartment in this new hotel was rented Tor
the season before the completion OF the
foundation for the structure. This sur
prising demand led the proprietors of the
new hotel to take immediate steps for the
building of an addition which will contain
blatt one of the proprietOrs of the Amerl-
can. will act as it's manager
ARRANGEMENTS have just been completed
for the annual state encampment OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. which will be
held on Young's Pier early in June.
