PICTURESQUE ASTORIA.
Founded by Early Explorers and Trap
 pers a Hundred Years Ago.

Astoria is one of the most picturesque of American towns, quaint and old, having been founded by the early ex- ploreres and trappers who came to this country nearly a hundred years ago. Long the outpost of John Jacob AstOr's trading company, it was once taken by the British and held as a frontier fort. Placed here on the steep river edge, where there was rightly no room for a city and finding it difficult to crowd its way up the hill, the town has reached out over the river, many of the streets, banks stores, hotels, canneries and warehouses being set up on piling, with
 the tide sweeping through underneath. Step off the sidewalk and drop twenty
 feet into salt water; look through the
 cracks in the little court of the hotel, and see the dark river swirling beneath and smell the barnaCled piling. Even
 the railroad that now reaches the town comes in on legs, centipede-like, a long
 bridge of piers across a river bay.
 It is a strange, interesting, not unam- bilious old town, set about with net drying platforms, slippery fish whar- yes, canneries exhaling the Odor of cooking fish, the little, low homes of fishermen and net makers of many na-
 tionalities, from Norwegian to Portu- guese; the crowded tenements of Chi nese and Japanese workers in the can
 naries; and, higher up the hill, the more pretentiOus homes of the packers and business men. Here and there an Indian or two, remnants of passing tribe, look on imperturbably at the us- urpation of their ancient fishing places. When the tide favors, the river beyond
 the wharves is busy with the heavy
 boats of the fishers, and often, more distant, on the mighty river one sees an ocean craft bound up for Portland or down again to the sca.-The Cen tury.

WORLD BEYOND THE SENSES.
Roentgen Rays Help to Bridge Gap Between the Known and Unknown.

It is from our eyes that we learn most concerning the things about us, says Harper's Magazine. Were it not for
 them, the images we make of objects and events would be confused and i crude enough. Beside our other senses, marvellous they seem. They measure and compare every little dot and stroke and turn on this printed page, so hope | lessly bewldering to the untaught. and l alike the gleam of star distant, it may be- hundreds of thousands of mil lions of miles.
 Yet beyond all that the eye may see.
 that ear may hear, that hands may feel, outside of taste or smell-outside of any native sense-there lies an un- seen. unheard, unfelt universe whose fringe we are just beginning to explore.
 A flash, so to speak. from this supra sensual world came with the discovery of the ROentgen rays. It is now eight years since We first learned that we may look straight into our bodies and see our bones, that in this light even great books of philosophy become quiet clear-transparent even: and the won der has a little died But they are still called X-rays. for we still do not know what they are nor where they belong.
 What is tolerably sure is that there is wide gap between the Roentgen light and common light, and the gap seems to lie far above the shortest lit- tie light waves hitherto known. IL is in the form of minute waves. more than microscopic undulations in the all-per- vading ether of space. that physicists nowadays conceive light. And it is difference in wave length merely that makes what we call color. The red and the orange are long waves. not more than 33,GOO to 10000 to a linear inch; the indigo and violet waves are only about half as long. from 5O,0OO to 6O,OOO per inch. In between are the yellow. green, blue and all their insensible gradations

Cracking Il Steel Safe.

THE work OF cracking an old steel
safe has become very simple" said an
inspector of the postoffice department
to a Washington Star reporter. You
see he continued, all the burglar
has to do is to pour n~itroglycerine in
the cracks of the safe, then throw
some cOmbustible material over it, set
it afire and get out of the way. In
a short time the explosion occurs and
the doors drop out as readily as if it
were made of Dashboard.
This method Of going into a safe is
known to all the cracksmen, and it
seldom occurs that we hear of a case Of
burglariZing a pOstOftice in the small
towns that a not been accomplished
in that manner The old method Of
boring into a safe in order to insert the
explosive is no longer heard of. / do
not know how this practice can be
stopped unless greater care is taken
in watching the pOStoffice or modern
safes are provided. 1t is impracticable
to equip all the postoffices with modern
safes, so that 1 think the simple meth
DDS of the burglars will be used for a
long time to come.

The Editors Advantage.

The editor has a great advantage
over the ordinary citizen. for he can
say the last word and at a safe dis
lance. Judge G. NJ. Perkins, editor
of the negro paper The Oklahoma
Guide. publishes the following edito-
rial in a recent issue of his interest
ing sheet: Yesterday we vent to
the office Of the Elk Hotel. at Guth-
RE, about 10 a. m. and asked to be
allowed TO speak to the cook We
were told by the man thaI was at
tending the office door that we coul1,
by going u the front door. go down
the alley and come in the back door.
This man must a been dragged up
IN the west on a ranch. for no man
raised north or south would ask a
gentleman to go in that dirty alley.
But If the unmanly clerk had looked
in our face he would have seen an

FOR FRAUD AT BILTMORE.
Grand Jury Returns True Bills
Against ChampIain and Tennent.

Asheville, n. c., November II
Daniel c. Champlain, former mayor
of Biltmore. and cashier of the Bit
more estate and George r. Tennent,
heretofore a time keeper on the
estate, were today indicted by the
grand jury of the court for the en-
bezZlement of funds, from George K
Vanderbilt. Both men have left the
state and their whereabouts are un-
known.
The finding of the grand jury is
the result of Investigations which
have been conducted for the past
two months. When the rumor of
p~eculatiOn Of the estate moneys
were first started, a general denial
of it was made at the office. The sud
den return of Mr.. Vanderbilt from
Europe and the employment of ex-
pert accountants to examine the
books, resulted in open charges be-
men who were dismissed from Van
derbilt's employ for violating the
regulations of the office"
The master of Biltmore made no
effort to prosecute the offenders, but
at the special term of the criminal
court last month, Fred Hull, expert
accountant and E. H. Harding were
summoned before the grand jury to
tell What they knew about the alleged
irregularities. From the Informal
ton thus far received, presentments
We're returned by the grand jury and
this afternoon a true bill was found
aginst the men.
1t is alleged that the amount ap-
propriated by the accused reaches
almost s11, 600 which sum was Sc
cured by padding the pay rolls"
Both Champlain and Tennent belong
