A letter received yesterday by Hon.

Jelks who Is in Las Vegas. N. NJ, bore
the encouraging news that his health
continues to improve and that his ply
restored to his former health and
vigor.
Governor Jelks wrote the letter him

dition and affectionately of his friends
every possible way their concern over
his condition and their anxiety about
him. He said he felt sure he would
be able to return to Alabama in the
autumn. In fact he Is able now to

ARTIFICIAL SEA BREEZES.
A member of the French Academy of
Science Is said to be enjoying sea
breezes in his Paris home by manufac-
turing a liquid which he diffuses
through the air of his apartment, says
an exchange. The recipe for the COM
pound is given as follows: In ten vol
umes of oxygenated water containing a
hundredth part of ether charged with
ozone he dissolves a small quantity of
sea salt. BY means of a vaporizer this
liquid is distributed in the air at the
rate of 120 grammes per hour. 1t is
said that by this means the apartment
becomes saturated with the scent of
the sea and that the slightest draught
of air creates the illusion of a wind
sweeping over a sandy beach direct
from the wide waters of the Atlantic
Ocean.
Ones, faith is not strengthened, how
ever, when the narrative proceeds to
relate how this ingenious scientist,
while inhaling this mixture, seats him
self in his armchair, with his eyes
closed. and listens to the tapping of
the waves while breathing their odor,"
for he holds to his ear shell in which
he can hear the murmur of the restless
sea. Such an attitude and occupation
seems more fitting for an old poet than
for a professional man of science.

PATTI SANG For MAD KING.

PATTI SANG FOR MAD KING.
The following story of How Alone
in the Darkness Patti warbled for a
mad king and made the effort of her
life:
Patti is now telling for the first
time how she sang before the mad
King of Bavaria, Ludwig H.. accord
ing to a story that Is going the rounds.
1t was more than thirty years ago,
and after repeated offers of immense
sums, Patti consented. When she ar
rived at Munich a gorgeously- attired
officer handed her a letter from the
King, with the curt information that
he should expect her at o'clock pune
tually at the palace.
But the browning indignity was to
come, for just as madame had recov-
cred her equanimity her eyes fell on
q postscript to the letter, which had es-
capped her notice at the first reading.
1t ran thus: The King commands
Nine. Patti to appear in pure white,
without any color whatever, and not
by any means to wear satin gown.
but soft wool. Silk is painful to his
majesty"
For once the prima donna had no
words to meet such unparalleled inso-
lence. When she recovered her speech
1t was to declare pointblank that she
could not and would not appear IN
white-"and that ended the matter.
However, in time her sense of amuse-
ment and the officers pleading tri-
umphed over her indignation. and she
promised to obey the royal instructions.

Found Theater in Darkness.
Before the royal carriage arrived
and Patti was driven to the palace
and conducted through long. dim cor
ridors and rooms to the private thea
ter, which to her amazement she found
in absolute darkness save for the ntful
light of the moon.
AS she stood on the dark stage and
an unseen orchestra began A soft pre-
Jude, she fancied she saw through the
gloom a white face staring from box
opposite to her. 1T was horrible" she
afterward said. the great. black, emp

TT isn't strange that the liking for

best. Drop it, and 1T is irretrievably

ut isn't the meerschaum in one of
these pipes that colors, anyway. 1t Is
a mixture of beeswax and oil that the

CHINESE AND JAPANESE WORDS.
A slight knowledge of the meaning
of common Chinese and Japanese
words, says writer from Toxic, is of
great assistance to the intelligent read
ing Of the war news. With a knowl-
edge OF the meaning of the various
syllables of which the names of local
tiles are made up comes a grip of the
situation. which is otherwise complete
ly lacking.
For example. Chiu or Kiu is Chinese
for nine, lieu for a series. and chang
for a small stream. Thus Kiu-lieu
cheng. where the great battle of the
Yalu was fought. means the town of
the nine consecutive streams.
Again Kin in Chinese means gold,
and chau signifies province; therefore
Kin-C hau. the scene of the great battle
before Port Arthur. means the town in
the gold province. tt means iron,
shan mountain. and thus the great
promontory to the south of Port Ar
thur Is the iron mountain of Liau
Yang means sunny-side, and thus the
Russian position at Liao-Yang-i is on the
sunny side of the river Lao.
