Row % rre..rre seaweea.

To preserve seaweed wash the sea-
weed in fresh water then take a large
dish, cut some paper the size required.
place it in the plate with fresh water
and spread out the seaweed with
camel's hair brush in a natural way.
Gently raise the paper with the sea
weed out of the water and place 1t in
a slanting position for a few minutes
so that the superfuous water may
drain away. Now press the specimen
by taking three pieces OF pasteboard.
On the first piece lay two sheets Of
blotting paper, and on that place the
seaweed, then spread a piece Of old lin
en- over and another layer OF blotting
paper. Over this have a second piece
of cardboard. The blotting paper and
rag should be taken out each day,
dried and replaced. When the speci-
mems are quite dry gum them into a
book or set between pieces OF thin pa
per for lamp shades, etc.

How to rs.t Diamonds.

A good diamond is a good deal cold
er than an imitation, and the lapi.
daries say the best way 20 test this
difference in temperature is to touch
the stones to the tongue. Sapphires.
emeralds, rubies. garnets and other
precious stones may be tested in the
same way-the real stone is invariably
colder than the imitation. The lapi-
daries do not give a reason for the diff
ference, but 1t may be found perhaps
in the greater density Of the real
stones. which makes them better con
ductors Of heat.

'The people have startling way of

grandfather was a man in whom liberal
intentions alternated with panic, stupid
ity and cruelty. After he had freed the
serfs he became reactionary. Finding that
the people expected further progress. and
that progress meant arrogance, he became
querulous and was blown to heaven in
1881. His weakness like that Of the present
unfortunate, might almost as well have
been malice. Nicholas II, like his grand
father, has had intentions which have
only served for paving stones. These two
rulers have been neither strong enough 70
succeed as tyrants nor strong enough TO
keep tactful progress just ahead OF pub
lie discomfort. The stricken peasants
whom the Car has slaughtered are vic
Tins Of his feebleness. The weakness Of
the ruler is visited on the people. Aiexan-
der III, father Of the present Car, was
stronger man than Alexander II or than
Nicholas.

RUNAWAY ON 81" CURVE
WILD TERROR ON TRAIN.
Shoots 4round "S" at 1I0th-st.-
Women Faint-MotOrman Cra2ed.

fye-car northbound train on the 9th-aVe.
elevated line away soon after nidnisn1 iaS1
night after passing the 93d-st. station. lt sho'
by the 10th and 110th-st. stations at almost
full speed and around the 49, curve on the
elevated railroad at that point with scarcely
any slackening of speed. The cars lurched SIDE
ways alarmingly.
Passengers were in wild terror women
tainted It was with difficulty that many were
kept from leaping through the windows and
gates The train was brought to a stop at
115th-st but not until roundsman had gone
to the motorman's aid. The motorman had
completely lost his head. Crazed with excite
ment, he would have jumped to the street had
he not been restrained by the roundsman.
The five cars were crowded. Immediately
after leaving the 93d-st. station the train
gathered full headway Scores of passengers
looked out with surprise when the train flashed
past the 104th-st. station. Their surprise turned
to alarm when they realized there was slack
ening of speed.
Roundsman Dippold. of the West 1OOth-st.
station, early in the flight OF the train had re-
allied that something was wrong. Throwing
people aside, he forced his way to the first car
and to the motormans booth in front. He
stopped only long enough to turn about and
shout to the passengers to try to remain calm.
1t was not until the second curve was passed
in safety, many OF the passengers realizing
that they were hundred and twenty feet
above the ground, that Roundsman Dippold
brought the motorman to his senses and assist
ed him with the mechanism that decreased the
trains speed. A stop finally made with
Jolt at 115th-st., one block south of the 116th-
St station
The train no sooner was stopped than the
notorrnan. white with fear. bolted from the mo-
torman's booth, opened the door and tried to
leap from the platform. Dippold restrained
him.
A semblance of order was restored finally, but
many of the passengers were not sufficiently as
sured to remain in the cars They left the train
and walked along the footway TO the 116th-st
station. There, when the train stopped, nearly
all left the train, refusing to ride further.
Among those the train was L. w. Spears
of No. III Broadway. He announced after leav-
ing the train that in the excitement he had lost
a valise containing valuable stock Of mining
company. After several passengers had ques-
toned members of the crowd a boy found the
valise end of the platform. The boy
rewarded with SO banknote.
Roundsman Dippold had been riding from sta
tion to station to that the patrolmen were
properly attending to their special details The
104th-st. station was to have been his last stop.
