Isabella's Crown

When jay Gould as a young man
was wandering about the country try
ing to sell books the Queen Of Spain
was wearing as her crown the valuable
possession which now often graces the
head of the book canvasser's daughter.
When Queen Isabella was exiled she
carried with her most Of her jewels.
One Of these was a crown set with
some of the finest diamonds, eneralds.
rubies and sapphires in the world A
few years ago a Spanish grandee,
known to the Prince del Drago. came to
America. His sole fortune consisted
of the gorgeous crown which had be-
longed to his grandaunt. The imperial
bauble was offered for sale and was.
eventually bought by the Goulds fot
$125, 900. 1t is now worn by the Count
ess Castellane.

@HE powerful weapon which we
illustrate is a good representative
of the latest improvements
Il which have been introduced into
heavy ordnance, with a view to secur-
ing at once greater range, increased
penetration. and a higher rapidity of
fire, without adding materially to the
weight of the piece. The theory Of
design and methods of construction by
which these results have been occurred
are not by any means peculiar to this
piece, in2smuch as they have been
followed by gunmakers for many years;
but the significance of this 92-inch gun
is that in it we see what is, perhaps,
the most successful combination Aof
these qualities that has yet been at
tained. Although this gun weighs only
2S tons, and has a service rapidity Of
fire OF FIVE rounds in a minute and a
half, il has a power of penetration at
5000 yards (the minimum fighting
range of to-day approximately equal
TO that of the 13M M-inch English gun,
of more than twice the weight, of
dozen years ago.
The immediate cause OF this increase
in efficiency is the greater velocities
that are secured with modern guns;
and the increase in velocity is due TO
the enlargement Of the powder cham

globe itself as a medium of
transmission to convey tele-
graphic lnessag ges, power for CONNER
cial purposes, or even the sound of the
human voice to the utmost confines of
the earth, is the latest dream of Nikola
Tesla.
In an article which appeared recent
ly in the Electrical World Mr.. Tesla
explains the theories on which the
world telegraphy system is founded
and what he expects to accomplish by
it. His plans involve the establishment
of stations for the transmission of mes
sages and power, preferably near inn

enough, what Mr.. Tesla proudly deslg-
mates as the first of his commercial

established at Wardenclyffe, l.. l..
which is not in any sense an important
center of civilization but a place de-
scribed by train hands of the Long
Island railroad as q way station where
"a passenger alights occasionally.
The transmitting station is an octa-
gonal tower, pyramidal in shape. and
some $50 feet in height. 1t consists of
huge wooden stills, heavily braced and
reinforced, and surmounted by a cupola
of interlaced steel wires, bent so as to
form an arc. In the cupola there is a
wooden platform occupying its entire
width.
Mr.. Tesla began work on his trans
mitting station about eighteen months
ago.
While the tower itself is very
STACEY" and picturesque, it is the
wonders that are supposed to be hidden
in the earth underneath it that excite
the curiosity of the population in the
little settlement. In the center of the
wide concrete platform which serves
as base for the structure there is a
wooden affair very much like the COM
panionway on an ocean steamer. 1t
leads to a well-like excavation as deep
as the tower is high, with walls of

Japanese Women

The sewing in the kimona consists of
one small and one long stitch, species
of artistic basting. There is reason in
this, for whenever the kimona is
washed, it is ripped to pieces. This is.
perhaps, why the Japanese, who battle
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes,
wear such clean clothes. The kimona
strips are dabbed up and down without
soap, scrubbed with a brush and are
ironed by drying them carefully on

Again Reported That Railroad Offices
Will Combine.

Once more the talk of a combina-
ton of the two railroad Offices is
heard, but so far there has been no
official warrant for it. 1t is believed,
however, that the change will be
made, and that before long. as several
things have occurred of late to justify
the belief.
When the matter was first suggest
ed it met with ready response from
both companies, but subsequently, so
it is said, some opposition arose from
the new general manager of the Bur

has been made to see it in a differ
'ent light and has given it his approval.
Along about August l should be a good
time to look for something doing in

COMMITTEE is HOPEFUL.
Very Likely Dipping Order Will Be
Rescinded.

While compelled to return without
having received an absolute promise
from the secretary OF agriculture that
the order requiring all Montana cat
tie intended for shipment beyond the
state to be dipped will be revoked,
the committee which visited Washing
ton comes back not wholly without
hope.
The committee represented the Mon
tana Stockgrowers association and
was composed OIL Conrad Kohrs, L..
W. Stacey of Miles City, State Vet
e%rinarian Knowles, Congressman Dix
on, w. G. Conrad and the Honorable
Thomas H. Carter. Accompanying
the Montanans were Messrs. Rosen-
baum and Buell., livestock commission
men of Chicago. Doctor D. E. Sal
mon, chief of the bureau of animal
industry, vas the first official called
upon at Washington, before whom the
committees request was laid, and cor
dial reception vas given the members.
Next Secretary Wilson was visited and
then the president. The latter in
stantly recognized the tall form OF
"Con"Kohrs, who at one time was a
fellow member with the president OF
the executive committee OF the stock
growers association. AS soon as Mr..
Roosevelt saw him he rushed toward
him and said, well, there's my old
friend, Conrad Kohrs, and grasped
his hand.
All three of the gentlemen waited
upon showed much interest in the
matter that had called the commit
tee on it's long journel, but none of
them committed himself. All agreed
that it was of great Importance to
the stockmen OF Montana. The pres.
ident expressed himself as certain
that the agricultural department would
do what was right for all concerned.
Mr.. KOhrs was honored by the
president to the extent of being ask.
ed to take luncheon with him, an in.
