HUNGARIA'S NATIONAL HERO
Why Maurus Jokai Has Lost Favor
with His Countrymen.

Maurus Jokai, patriot, poet, drama
tist and novelist. although still the
Hungarian national hero. has In his
seventy-eighth year realized that his
popularity has greatly diminished by
reason of his marriage three years ago
10 his second wife. as was evidenced
by the recent public celebration OF his
birthday.
Jokai's first wife was the celebrated
Hungarian tragedlennc. Rosa Laborfal-
vi. She died in 1856. and fourteen years
later Jokai led to the altar his second
wife, Mile. Bella Weiss, an actress at

LIQUID FUEL,
Recent Discovery an Argument For Do.
creasing Use Of Coal.

Recent Discovery an Argument For DO"
creasing Use of Coal.
The recent discovery of new oil fields
so extensive that there is good reason
to believe that the oil wells will not
soon be exhausted and that there is an
assured supply to meet the demands OF
the future; the construction Of pipe
lines which very materially reduce the
cost of transportation. and the high
price of coal which has prevailed in
many manufacturing districts, have
combined to give new argument for
the burning of crude oil for power pur.
poses.
But in the Western and Southwest
ern States, where steam coal has al.
ways been both scarce and poor in quail.
ity, and where the question of trans.
portation from the new fields in Texas
and California has been less Of an OBJ.
stacle to the installation Of oil burning
equipments than has been the case on
the Atlantic coast, the interest is even
greater and the use Of oil has become
far more extensive. In California oil
is rapidly driving coal out of the field
fol power purposes throughout the
State. The same is true in Texas, and
Of much of the territory lying in be.
tween. This general use of oil has af.
fected not only the power and lighting
and manufacturing plants in these re.
gions, but also the railroads and ma.
rine transportation as well. With the
relative economy at present prices, be-
tween the oil and coal varying from
one-eighth to one-half OF perhaps less.
according to the cost Of transportation
from the wells to the different points
where the oil is consumed, this unusual
development is not surprising, and the
use of liquid fuel for power purposes is
still rapidly growing.
One railroad operating in California
is now burning oil on more than 1S0 of
its locomotives. Another Of the great
transcontinental systems is already
using oil on about 500 Of its locomo-
tives-which is thirty per cent. of the
total number operated by the system
and is equipping others as rapidly as
possible. In addition to the use on To-
comotives it is using oil on its steamers
in San Francisco Bay. and on its river
steamers with very good results.-A. L.
Williston. in Engineering Magazine.

Science Of q Curved Ball.

Professor Joseph ]. Thomson, VINO
came over from Cambridge, England,
to deliver the Benjamin Silliman course
of lectures at Yale this year, was asked
to give the explanation Of a curved
pitched bali. 1.-THE ball follows Its
nose, so to speak," said he. IF 1t
leaves the pitchers hand revolving
downward on a horizontal axis 1t is
bound to drop. If it leaves revolving
upward on a horizontal axis 1t follows
on a vertical axis, revolving outward
from the batsman, the outcurve is the
result, and similarly on vertical axis.
with an inward revolution, and so on.
The axis and revolutions are deter
mined by the manner Of the spheres
leaving the pitchers hand, and there
YOU are."-New York Sun.

The Vanity Of Man.

"Why does q man always run MS
hand through his hair when he takes
his hat off," asked the observant man.
"Did you ever notice that man Will
invariably do this very thing? Is 1t
lust Q nervous habit? Is it vanity!
It is an old habit. have never known
q man who did not indulge this habit.
Even men who have no hair to run
their fingers through, men whose heads
are as bald as billiard balls, will brush
their hands over their heads when they
lift their hats. If the men simply
wanted to smooth their tousled hair,
of course, this would afford ample
explanation of the habit. But why
should q man who has no hair on his
head do the same thing? 1t is not
a sufficient answer to say that such q
man may have had full suit Of hair
at one time, and that it is simply q
matter Of habit contracted under differ
ent conditions. AS q rule men are un-
conscious Of the fact. They do not
know why, how or when they run their
hands over their beads. But they all
do it Just the same. Go into q court
room, or at any place wheer men con-
gregate, ard where it is necessary for
them to remove their hats, and watch
them. You will observe that every
man will go through the same per-
formance. 1t seems to be perfectly
natural thing for them to dc. My own
conclusion is that it is an evidence Of
vanity. A man wants his hair to be
just so. Originally, probably 1t was
simply a matter OF tidiness. But it
has grown into an act Of vanity. The
lawyer, for instance. if he has enough
hair for the purpose, will want his head
to have a tousled appearance. 1t gives
him 4 studious appearance, and leaves
the impression that he has been strug-
Cling with the books. Whatever the
reason the habit is a curious one, and
one which seems to be deep-rooted in
the masculine nature. New Orleans

How Long Animals Live.

Animals vary greatly in the length
of their lives. Elephants, eagles and
parrots may celebrate their hundredth
birthday, but our domesticated beasts
are thought to be aged when they have
reached a quarter Of a hundred. A
horse is old at twenty, donkey at
twenty-five and a cat or dog at fifteen.
The span of existence allotted to in
sects is shorter still, the. fly and the
butterfly commonly enjoying but one
summer Of vigorous life, and then be-
ing taken off by the cold, If they are
not previously snapped up by bird.

Abbreviating Signatures.

Robert P. Armstrong, Acting Secre'
tary Of the Treasury, has started q
reign of strict economy. Mr.. Arm
strong's sole occupation throughout
yesterday was the signing of thousands
Of letters, and it was in doing this that
his economy showed itself. Before nc
had gone far with his days work II
dawned upon him that he was wasting
too much ink. He began Dy signing
his name Robert P. Armstrong"
When he quit work in the afternoon
he was writing it ."R. P. Armstrong"
without q cross to the st" or tail to
the "g" Of his surname.
The law does not permit Of the sign
ing of a Cabinet officers name with a
rubber stamp, and after Mr.. Armstrong
had written several hundred sigma.
lures his fingers were so tired ne cut
out every move of the pen ne could.
At last he had to give up, his fingers
becoming so crampCd aud tired ne
could not go on.
The law in regard to the signatures
OF Cabinet officers has caused many OF
them to abbreviate their manner OF
writing their names. Elihu Roots
name is now signed E. Root, and
Charles Emory Smith brought his sig
nature down to c. E. Smith. Even
the Secretay of State signs his name
81 Hav" sometimes. Official des.
patches he signs with merely his last
name TO save cable tolls. A popularity
of the late John Sherman was that ne
cared nothing for cable tolls, and al
ways signed his name John Sherman

SONG OF THE DERELIcTS.

"From ocean to ocean we wander
From polar to tropical tide,
Alone and forlorn and iorsaken,
The wraiths OF or time-faded pride.
Through the tumult and surge of the
tempest,
Wave beaten and battered we churn,
The ships of no name and no haven,
The ships that shall never return"
Up and down through the streets of the
cities
Go the men that are kin to lost ships,
The wreckagc of old loves, time tattered,
The desolate ghosts of friendships.
Through the storms OF the ife-seas they
wander,
Wave tossed by the ceaseless unrest
Migrants, Stunned by their fortunate
brothers.
Till they drift to the Port of All Quest.
