HERR KRUPP ALWAYS HUNGRY.
With an Income of $3,5oo,ooo He. Never
Had ENOUGH to Eat.

Interesting "reminiscences Of the late
Frederick Alfred Krupp have recently
been made public by friend who passed
much time with him on the island Of
Capri. -:
Much Of his time there was spent in
making trips on the water to continue
the deep sea investigations in which he
was deeply interested. His invariable
companions were a noted German scien-
fist who has a villa at Capri and young
instructor. from the University at Kra-
kau in whom Herr Krupp took a great
interest and for whose future he had al
ready made every arrangement
He never made himself popular in the
ordinary. sense of the word. His chief
Social pleasure was to make friends
among the people.
he was quite inaccessible to the guests
at the Capri hotels who sought him out
as a celebrity. So the foreign colony
held him to be disasreeable, which was
a wholly unjust verdict. In reality Herr
Hrupp was a moderate, simple, almost
their own ways of life and without pre-
tense asked for himself merely the same
right.
One Of the greatest paradoxes in the
life of the great iron master was the
fact that in spite of his fortune of $780,
O00, 600 and his yearly income of Sc, $780,
600 he nearly starved. He ate accord
ing to most rigid Schweninger regime,
tak1r~ barely enough to keep himself
alive and the poorest laborer that he
employed, enjoyed more comforts of the
table than he. Wine he never touched
under any circumstances.
During his whole life his health was
poor and that combined with his great
business responsibilities gave him at 45
something of the look. Of an old man.
AND ne always looked more than his
'age.
He was simple and direct in conyersa-
ton and the requirements of his bust
ness led him to express as much as DOS
slble in the fewest words. He spoke
English only moderately we'll, although
he knew the language as we'll as his
own.
He was absorbed in all works of art
ment to the artists whose pictures he
bought helped many Of them on their
career. He was especially liberal to
the artists at Capri and "Sold to
Krupp" was a familiar legend in the
windows Of the picture shops in spite
of his efforts to put an end to this harm
less advertisement.
music Of the islanders and used to pay
the natives to sing their folk song in
the hotel for the enjoyment Of himself
and the other guests. One year he took
back with him to Germany a house
painter and mason to sing for his
guests at home the songs of the natives.
He also took with him to Essen, in
order that he might undergo the Schwen-
niger cure, the keeper of one of the hotels
frequented by the natives. Many of
the Inhabitants of Capri are said to have
reason to remember his generosity which
was frequently of the most unostenta-
tious, even secretive character. And his
public benevolence was enough to make

F G. T. Yerkes, the triumphant electric

things well. Perhaps the explanation lies
in a rule which he always observes. This
is never to take up more than one thing

The use of lemon-juice for the killing
of typhoid germs in water has been tried
by DR.. w. H. Park, of the New York
department of health, and proved inef-
fective. He found that two and a half
teaspoonfuls of lemon-juice poured into
half glass of water containing typhoid
bacilli had failed to destroy all the germs
at the end Of thirty minutes; so that

don, had drunk the water, would have
been liable to contract the fever. For
making suspected water safe to drink,
there is nothing preferable to the good
old remedy of boiling.

A curious and unlooked-for conse-

wife who has had more trouble keeping
her table service bright of late than ever
before, conversed with a jeweler on the
subject, and the jeweler said that the
silver watches in his show cases required
more attention than he formerly
found necessary to keep them from turn
ing dark. He attributed the trouble to
the general use of soft coal, the smoke
from which is mixed with sulphurous
fumes.

The total shipments from the Beau
mont oil fields, since the beginning of op-

have been 1851 cars, or 13,008,45O bar

gushers were wasted in the early stage
of operations because the oil ran
off before provision could be made for it's
collection, and some to afford spectacle
for the edification of visitors. If the
