Running and Trotting Races Pleased

The much heralded combination trotting and
running meeting at the half mile track of tho
Parkway Driving Club. at Gravesend, opened
yesterday afternoon with vengeance. The crisp
weather attracted large crowd to the track and
there some first class racing. For those who
wished TO speculate there large tent spread
near the grandstand where pools were sold on the
harness races and bookmakers offered odds the
heats and on the running Owing o the two

three in five heats The 2:35 pace went TO Colonel
Henry, owned and driven by John II. Powers, OF
BROOKLYN in three straight heats. The winner was
money and Lady Superior third.
The 2:l7 trot required four heats before NorVal
was returned the winner. Sutana n. took second
money and Sweet Innscarra third. Colonel
Julien, one of the choices, was distanced in the
first heat when he went a bad break.

big track etiquette. Father BilP' Daly was the
prime mover. He started Tomcod and Et Tu Brute
and ran second with both. Tomcod started again
but was not placed.
The venerable Sage of Hartford told the Off
cials how to start tho runners, and in general
superintended the proceedings. There was an i'm

ers are now demonstrating, to the sur
prise and Indignation of English en-
ployers, that 1t is largely from the
very fact that American workmen re-
ceive better wages that they derive
their greater productive ability. The
American Electrical Works at Man
chester, England, have tried the ex-
pertinent of better wages with benefi-
cial results. The rate of wages in
Manchester for the class of labor they
employ is nine cents per hour. The
American company paid u cents and
asked their men to earn It. The result
Is that the hlgher-paid employees do
double the work of their poorly paid
fellows.
One result of the experiment is that
the other Manchester workmen are
now demanding that the American
system be put I'm operation generally.
They want better pay and are willing
to give better service. They say the
American plan encourages a man to do
his best, while the English plan, with
domlneering foremen and a blacklist,
discourages them and renders them
unambltious to excel.

A Frenchwoman who has devoted

Especially is she pleased with the

The Japanese excel In the making
of paper from the bark of trees ana
shrubs. Among the remarkable va
rietles are the thin rainproof paper
used instead Of glass for windows, the
oiled papers serving for waterproof
coverings and clothing. and the oiled
tissue for wrapping delicate articles.
The bark paper employed for meal
and grain sacks is not readily pene-
trated by weevils and other insects.
Most interesting Of all. perhaps. are
the tough papers from which tobac-
CO pouches and pipe cases are made,
these leather papers being almost as
tough as French kid. translucent, and
as soft and pliable as calf-skin.

thin soup, such as julienne. some sort

one OF his Majesty's typical meals. 1t
Is to his guests that most OF the dainty
dishes go.
Despite all that Is said about the
German Emperor's Spartan habits,
there are few monarchs who keep more
elaborate tables. He has four chefs,
Of different nationalities, and in addi-
ton there is an individual who may be
described as "sausage-maker to the

King Carlos Of Portugal is the stout

be due to his love of English foods.
Nothing delights him 50 much as Sim

sists of a few oysters, a portion of a
porterhouse steak, and little Gruyere

Macaroni may be described as the
staple food Of King George of Greece.
He insists upon having it on the table

FAMOUS ENGLISH WELLS.
Some Whose Waters Are Charged with
Magic or Miraculous Power.

Though there are hundreds of wells
supposed to possess magical power
scattered all over England. the general
public is ignorant OF their locality OF
the romantic stories connected with
each one. There may be possible ex-
ception In the well OF St Keyne, in
Cornwall, for Southey has made 1t
famous In a witty little poem. The
magic Of Its waters is such that the
husband or wife who drinks first from
1t after leaving the altar will have
the upper hand over the mate for their
Joint lives. The bride of whom
Southey tells us did not wait till after
the marriage ceremony to pay a visit
to the well, but took the precaution of
taking a bottle with her to the church.
Another well, in Monmouthshire.
which has a peculiar fascination for
the unmarried maldens is known as
the ''virtuous we'll" For generations
the maidens Of tnat locality have ac-
credited 1t with marvellous powers In
forecasting their futures. They have
only to drop a pebble into its water
and count the resultant bubbles, for
each bubble represents a month of
waiting for the day which will make
them brides. In order to propitiate
the genius which presides over the
well 1t Is necessary to decorate the
brambles which shade it with bits OF
white cloth.
Then there are the so-called holy
wells which have many medicinal vir-
tues. Such a one Is st. Winifred's, at
Holywell, which is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend of Its origin Is a very pretty
one. 1t is said that twelve centuries
ago st. Winifred, the winsome daugh-
ter OF a Welsh chief, was wooed by
Prince Caradoc, a prince Of Ill repute.
She declined his persistent advances,
and at last he killed her in a fit of
rage. From the spot on which St
Wlnlfred's life blood fell there gushed
forth stream Of crystal water which
has worked miracles in her name for
50 many centuries.
Practically all the Ills to which the
flesh is heir can be cured by one or
another of these. wells. st. Ninan's
in Cornwall, is said to restore lunatics
to sanity, but the patient must be i'm
mersed in the water and held there
until the breath has nearly left his
body. This seems a heroic measure
But even this is not so severe as the
treatment which must be endured If a
mailman Is to be cured at Llandegla
well, in Wales. for after the victim is
nearly drowned he is trussed like a
fowl and laid under the communion
table of the neighborlng church for
the night.

Wisdom of the Elephant.

The process of elephant catching in
India as well as In Siam tends to
rather undermine ones settled notions
of elephant sagacity and to create in
stead the feeling that a lot of senti-
mental tommyrot and misleading, ig-
norantly conceived animal stories have
been put forth about my lord, the ele-
plant.
The literal truth is that the ele-
plant for all its reputed intelligence,
Is driven into places that no other wild
animal could possibly be induced to
enter, is in Its native jungle held cap
tive within a circle through which II
could pass without an effort and bull
lied into accomplishing obedience by
force the smallest fraction of its
own numbers. Part OF this is, no
doubt, due to its exceedingly sus-
picious nature; the other part to its
lack of originality, to which latter de-
feet, however, it's notable amenabillty
to discipline is attributable.

IRISH GROW OLD IN AQUARIUM
Striped Bias. Alive After Ten Years.
Some Weighing Thirty Pounds


In recent bulletin OF the New York
Geological society some facts are given
In regard to the longevity Of fishes

The oldest Inhabitants are the strip
ed bass. which have been there for
ten years. having been placed in one
of the floor pools before the building
was opened to the public In May,
1894. ffty-hve specimens. weighing
from quarter of a pound to four
pounds, were secured, twenty-seven 4

herring cut in strips and a few clans.
The largest specimen now weighs
about thirty pounds.
Their actual weights are not known.
but the lengths Of some of them are,
and the weight estimated accordingly.
One bass. received in 1895 when II
weighed a quarter Of a pound. and
had length of seven inches, died
seven years later, by which time II
had attained length OF twenty-six
inches and a weight of nine pounds.
There are sea fishes which enter
fresh waters to spawn and are very
active and gamy. 1t is remarkable
that such large fishes have done 80

Other species In the aquarium
which may be considered old resi-
dents are the bony gar. mudflsh, com
mon eel, gray snapper, spot snapper,
red grouper and Nassau grouper. Sew
eral individuals of each have been
seven years In the aquarium. They
are supposed to require pure sea water
and have endured New York bay
water just as it has been pumped
from the bay In varying conditions.
Many other fishes have been In cap
tivity there for from three to five
years. The growth of some Of these
has been steady. The Bermuda gray
snappers. received there six inches
long, have more than doubled their
size in seven years, while the spot
snappers have fully trebled their size
in the same time.
Although the green morays have fed
Internationally, refusing food for
months at a time, they have grown
perceptibly. The growth of muskel-
lunge and pike has been marked. both
species having more than doubled their
weight. The weakfish have trebled
their size in four years.
The collection of tropical fishes from
Bermuda has been increased every
summer. These beautifully colored
strangers. which are viewed with
great interest during the summer and
autumn months. begin to die off with
the approach OF winter weather.

The world has known for many
years that nowhere else on earth is the
condition Of the workingman so near

1t is because so much higher wages
are paid here that emigrants by the
hundreds of thousands have come here

despite the higher wages manufac-
tured articles could be produced here
more cheaply than elsewhere and put

Disappearing River.

Nowhere is to be seen a stranger
freak OF nature than in New Mexico.
1t is a river that is not a river. No
one has ever seen 1t. The bed Of II
lies In valley between the Rio
Grande and Pecos River. 1t is we'll
defined, and many travellers have fol
lowed its windings to learn, II posi-
BILE, what becomes of the great vol
ume OF water which should be there.
II is not a dead or dried-up stream.
1t is simply lost. Numerous big tribu-
taries flow into 1t from the neighbor-
ing mountains. Immediately, how
ever, they reach the bed OF the main
stream they disappear from sight.
Thus, for some reason or another, a
river which should be 800 miles in
length has no existence which could
be proved.
