The Quaker,s Retort.

In the early days Of the White House.
when Dolly Madison was its presiding
genius, the conversation was lively, and
the bonmot, the repartee and even the
retort gave zest to the talk. On one oc

was dining with the president paid
back the raillery Of the gay hostess in
her own coin. AS Mrs. Madison, look

Ether Vibrations.

The effect Of movements in the ether
depends upon the rapidly Of the vibra-
tons producing them. The unit of
measurement for short waves in the
ether is the bicron, which is about one
twenty-five millionth Of an inch. Waves
measuring $50 to 80 bicrons' affect our
sense of sight, the former number CIV
ing violet and the latter red color. The
invisible rays, to which the actinic and
Roentgen rays belong. are shorter and
have been measured as short as 1Oc
bicrons. Ether waves longer than
those giving light give the feeling OF
warmth. The longest heat waves are
eight times the length Of those OF the
red rays, or one three hundred and If
tieth Of an inch.

A Ghost Show.

In the Night and Morning show
can be seen an attraction seldom
carried by any other carnival
company on the road, and which
never fails to please both old and
young. Among the attractions is
the great London ghost show,
wherein is depicted humorous,
weird and mystefying exhibition
which must be seen. In the Trilby
show can be seen the maid OF the
sea. who outdOes all feats ever ac-
credited the mermaids, besides
which can be seen the living mar
ionettes and the renowned cat
concert. In the volcano show is
reproduced entirely by electricity
the eruption of Mt. Pelee and the
destruction of st. Pierre. This pro-
duction must not be classed with
the so-called picture show as every
effect is produced by electricity,
and is worth going miles to see. In
the Foxy Grandpa show will be
seen the great grain robbery
which is so realistic that many
people are simply appalled, by this
performance. Among the other
attraction of which a detailed de-
scription will be givenl in tomor-
rows issue is the American Glass
Blowers, House Of Troubles, Big
Willie. Uno Ferris Wheel and En-
glish Carousal. Among the free
attractions which occur hourly is
the intrepid and death-defying
Nick Carter in his 11O-foot dive
into a tank containing but three
fee of water; Mile. Rrocco, the
spiral tower ascentionist; the ia
nous Keetch family of aerialists
and a magnificent pyrotechnlcal
display nightly.

Gas
Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine. !"
Well, they buy it. In little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot Of
f!xtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it Is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner," as it
gives them but little work.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Feb. S.-At dinner
party the other night, Senator Black
burn of Kentucky twitted Senator
DOlliver Of Iowa on his euphonius
name of Jonathan, saying that moth
ing could induce him to bear it. Sen
atOrs DOlliver replied that the name
was supposed to be worth just $500
to his family at the time he received
it. The Kentucky senator suggested
that Dolliver had been cheated, as it
was worth at least $4,000 to, bear such
a cognomen thru life. Then Senator
Dolliver told yarn:
About the time I was expected in
the world" said the senator, ga
maiden aunt made herself conspicuous
about our house and appeared greatly
interested in my advent. When got
there she was enraptured with me,
and told my mother she would give
$500 if they would name me Jona-
than. My folks were not very fond
of the name, but they needed money,
and, after talking the matter over,
consented to take her offer. Jona-
than they called me. But just after
that incident, and before the cash
settlement was made, the old maid
aunt took a notion to marry a penuri-
GUS old slnfiint.
HE was told of the bargain and
the price Of my name. He did not
propose to part with any money for
the sake Of gratifying some wlaim of
hers, and stoutly refused to allow her
to make good her pledge. I got the
name, but never the price"

QUEER CIVIL WAR CLAIM, IN
ABEYANCE FORTY-ONE YEARS,
PRESENTED IN CONGRESS,
New York Sun Special Service.


Washington, Feb. S.-An interesting
war claim has just been presented in
congress, and several members of the
Seventy-seventh Illinois infantry are
directly responsible for it. 1t is for
a bay horse, which was captured by
the union forces just before the battle
at Mansfield, La, in 1853
Colonel Greer of the Seventy-sey-
enth Illinois infantry was without a
horse, and L. HI. Wiley, a musician
OF the regiment, now doorkeeper at
the house Of Representatives. John
Carroll and others Of Peoria, ILL.,, went
on a foraging expedition for the
avoWed purpose of obtaining a charg-
er for their colonel. Soon after the
foraging party left camp they saw a
magnificent bay horse, of which they
took charge against the protests and
appeals of an old woman, who de-
clared all the other horses on the
plantation had been taken by the
union troops.
Forty-one years after the horse in
voluntarily entered the union service
its owner has presented claim of
$l25. The claim accidentally came to
the attention of Mr.. Wiley, who re-
membered the incident distinctly, and
his evidence probably will be used to
establish the right of the owner to
reimbursement for his property.
