Peculiar Elevator That Lifted Bishop
Potter's DISTINGUISHED Guest,

Peculiar Elevator That Lifted Bishop
Potter's Distinguished Guest.
During an uncommonly hot week OF
summer when Bishop Henry C. Pot.
ter resided OH North Washington
square he had as a guest distin.
gu1shed English churchman, bishop
and member of the House of Lords.
The visitor was afflicted with rheuma-
tlsm and was unable to ascend the
stairs from the dining room without
considerable suffering. The residence
was equipped with a hand-power
freight and baggage elevator, large
enough to accommodate one passen-
ger, although not ordinarily used for
that purpose. After noticing the evi.
dent pain caused by the stairway, in
the case of his distinguished guest, it
occurred to Bishop Potter that the
freight elevator might be available
as a more convenient means of asceb t.
After dinner On one of the hottest
days in summer the experiment was
tried. The visiting bishop stepped
carefully into the gloomy box. Two
young men who had also dined well,
and to whom post-prandfal exertion
was in the nature of a sore burden,
were pressed into service to haul on
the ropes. The distinguished and af-
fiicted guest was of a portly habit,
and weighed more than the average of
"stone."
The elevator was not built for great
weights, and it's lifting power depend
ed almost exactly upon the main
strength at the end of the ropes. With
prodigious heaving and hauling the
ascent was begun. The two flushed
and painting young men looked at each
other and had emphatic thoughts. AS
the gathered calves of the ecclesiastic
were disappearing up the shaft, an
inch at a time, a deep voice foated
down to the volunteer crew: -s',
Il say, Goes it run by water-power?
And in Il gasping duet, the reply
assembled from below:
Yes, my lord, by perspiration
power. New York Mail and Express.

"Corn-Wheat.0

"A new grain, known as corn-wheat,
is being grown in eastern Washing gton.
1t has the nature Of both corn and
wheat, possessing the fattening quail
ties of corn and the corn flavor. In
appearance it. resembles wheat. It's
grains are twice as large as those of
ordinary wheat. It yields 60 to 100
bushels an acre, and seems to solve
the problem Of fate tening hogs in the
Pacific northwest, as corn is not sue
cessfully raised in that country.

Pair of Notable Mules.

Missouri has lately advanced two
more claims to prominence, and they
both concern her most notable prod
uct, the mule. Mike Murray, Of Here
ford, in that state, has mule he is
going to send to the exposition. It is
mare, eight years old, Is hands high
. (six feet) atthe shoulder, weighs 1,706
pounds and is still growing. The other
mule resides in Joplin, but it is SO
years old and is SO gentle that it is
playmate for its owners children.

Zola's Method of Writino.

Zola made of himself such a perfect
writing machine that in his later
years he began to publish his novels
in parts as soon as he began to write
Ia practice not uncommon in the
days of Thackeray, but now almost
obsolete AS result of this method,
although Zola's new novel, the third
in the four gospel series, has already
begun to appear, it seems that only
three or four chapters had been fin
ished. 81.

Tahita, May IS, via San Francisco,
May 20, information received on the

three small islands near Pitcairn were
seized by England recently. 1t APP
pears that they were regarded by Brit
ish Consul Simons, at Tahiti, as yalu-
able, anticipating the completion OF
the Panama canal
He was under the impression that
sooner or later the French govern
ment might annex them. and SO, with
out waiting for definite instructions
from his government, sent Mr. Mccoy,
the English resident on Pitcairn island,
to take over the three Islands for the
British government. Later an English
man-of-war at Mr.. Simons' request,
went from Tahiti to the new posses
sions and completed certain formal
tiles.
When the action WAS reviewed by
the British foreign Office the consul
received full appreciation for his fore
thought. Ducie island has safe har-
Dor, and Elizabeth island has many at
tractive features. There are no in
habitants in the group.
Colonial troops are to be withdrawn
from Tahiti IN the near future. They
are considered to be wholly unneces-
