INQUIRIES FROM
FAR AND NEAR

His Worship, Mayor of Harris
burg" was the address on one of the
envelopes bearing letters to the police
station Tuesday, containing earnest
inquiries concerning many men who
are believed to have been killed in the
Lochiel wreck on tne morning of
Thursday, May IL.
This letter was written by Katherine
Hollyer, of No. 705 Reilly street, Buf.
falo.. N. Y, for her sister, Mrs. +. E.
Tnmpkins. of Ottawa, Ontario, Can.
IA Ia, which is the customary way of
Hl iressin2 communications to Lord
Mayors of cities of that country.
The latter makes inquiry about
to have been one of the passengers of
the ill.fated Cleveland and Cincinnati
Express. The anxious woman wants
to know whether tho body of man by
as he has not been heard from since
the wreck
Another equally anxious inquiry
came to the police station Tuesday
from William Mcdonald, of No. 292
Euclid avenue, Cleveland. Ohio, con-
cerniug John Graham. who left Glas-
cow for this country, arriving at New
York on May 10 on the steamer AS
toria. He is described as being 80
years old, five feet seven inches in
height with light moustache. He
had handbag containing underwea
aud two brushes and steel stamp
with the initials 81. X. g.
Several days after the wreck the ac-
cumulation of articles taken from the
wrecked train were sorted out at the
Union station, and detailed account
of the contents of each grip and hand
s,tchel was published. Several of the
small hand satohels contained under
wear and two small hand brushes, but
there were no steel stamps in the bag.
This satchel was badly broken and the
clasp had been knocked of, and it may
be that the steel stamp was lost from
the bag in the wreck.
Another communication received by
the Mayor on Tuesday, was from Mrs.
William Lennon, inquiring after her
husband William Lennon a government
employe who has not been heard from
since the fatal wreck. The letter was
addressed from Roanoke, Va ,and stat
ed that Mr.. Lennon was on his way to
Harrisburg from Now York City,
about the time of the wreck.
Others letters, almost similar have
been received almost daily by Under
tsker Samuel Speese. who had charge
of the temporary morgue at No. I2S
Chestnut street, after the wreck. and
Coroner George Q. Krause has reoeiv-
g a number of letters from people in-
quiring after number of friends and
relatives who have not been heard
from siuce the morning of the wreck.

A VERSATILE WOMAN.

Some of the Things For Which
Phoebe Down Was Famed.
Phoebe Bown died something over
half Il century ago, aged eighty. This
extraordinary woman, who lived with
her mother in cottage nearly opposite
the High Tor, at Matlock Bath, Eng
land, could walk nearly forty miles q
day when young. could lift hundred
weight in each hand and carry fourteen
stone. She undertook any kind of man
ual labor, as holding the plow, driving
the team, thrashing wheat with the
fail and thatching the stacks. Her
chief avocation was breaking horses at
a guinea a week. She always rode
without saddles and was considered
the best judge of horses and cows in
the peak.
But Phoebe had also liking for
sport and for art. She was good shot
and carried her gun on her shoulder.
She was fond of Milton, Pope and
Shakespeare and performed on several
instruments, including the flute. violin
and harpsichord, and played the bass
penter, mason and smith and mainly by
her own hand labor built another room
to the cottage for the reception of n
harpsichord which lady presented to
her. At her own request local cler-
gyman wrote her epitaph, and here
1t is:
Here lies romantic Phoebe,
Half Gannymede, half Hebe;
A maid of mutable condition,
A Jockey. cowherd and musician.

AS A WOMAN LUNCHES,
Meals That Are Ordered Merely by
Force of Suggestion.


Lots of women order tkHr luncheons
merely by force of suggestion. If you
don't think so, watch the wavering
ones sit down, look on the card, glance
at their nearest neighbours plate and
then order whatever the latter happens
to be eating. In crowded luncheon
room on matinee day one little round
table seating four women bore out this
statement. Two of the women refresh
ed themselves on cake and coffee. The
third was putting away savory clam
chowder. A fourth came in, observed
the cakes, gazed appreciatively on the
chowder and requested the latter. The
first chowderer finished and departed,
and the woman who Immediately took
her place looked around the table and
ordered cakes and coffee.
BY this time the first two cake and
cofreeites had finished, and an uncer-
tain looking woman sat down on that
side of the table. She looked at the
two opposite, glanced ut the card and
said, Bring ME clam chowder."
This is fact, and there is every rea-
son to suppose that nothing but coffee
and cakes and chowder was served at
that table all the afternoon or at least
as long as wavering ladies sat down
at it.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

Density of Water.

A strange fact in connection with
water is that its point of greatest den
sity is not the freezing point, rs with
all other liquids. but between the two
extremes of its existence as n liquid,
at 39.2 degrees +. From this point wa
ter necessarily expands with either de-
crease or increase of temperature.
At the boiling point the conversion
of the liquid into gas steam is naturally
accompanied by an enormous expan-
sion. its volume increasing 100 times.
But the behavior of water ut the freez-
ing point is as remarkable, owing to
the peculiar crystalline formation Of
ice. The process of expansion is uni
form from 30.2 degrees downward to
81 degrees. When that point is reached
the temperature remains stationary
during the loss of latent heat, but the
expansion continues until, when ice
becomes visible, it is seen to be bulk
Ter than the water from which 1t was
formed.

SOME ODD CEATHERS.
Prepared From the skins of Various
Aquatic Animals.

Leather Is prepared from the hides Of
nearly all aquatic animals. principally
the seal, whale, porpoise, alligator and
walrus. The use of these hides Is al
most as old as man himself and they
have ever been most eagerly sought
after for the many uses TO witch they
could be put after bci-.es p. pared as
leather. At the time of the Russian
occupation of Alaska they made great
use of walrus hides Furs We're usual
ly wrapped up in these skins, and when
they reached Kiachta, China, the great
mart of those days, the skin was sewed
over chests of tea. On arrival at Mos
COW the soundest portions We're re-
moved, cut up and stamped into ko-
pecks and variety Of small change.
This formed the chief currency of Alas
ka for Il time. The Russians also made
harness of walrus leather, while the
natives of Alaska used the skin as
covering for their boats.
A aueerer kind of leather. however,
comes from the bodies of fishes. An
extremely fine quality of green leather
made in Turkey is manufactured from
the skin of an ugly fish called the angel
fish. The sword grips of the German
army are made from shark leather,
which Is beautiful in pattern, being
marked with dark diamond shaped fig
urcs. This skin comes from North
sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce substitute from animal
hides, but in vain. Unlike animal leath-
er, fish leather is absolutely impervious
to water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore 1t is ideal for
sword grips, as, no matter how much
the hand may perspire, the grip re-
mains hard and dry.
Leather is made from the skin Of the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon.
which is exceedingly tough and Is used
in making laces for Joining leather
betting In Canada the skin of spe-
cies of sluroid is used in making
gloves.

An Irish King of Portugal.

An Irishman was once king of Por-
tugal, or at least he once ruled in the
kings stead over that country. In No
vember. 1910. there was a revolution in
Portugal, brought about by the tyran.
nical exactions of Miguel Vasconcellos,
the secretary of state. The hated min
lister was shot and the vice queen, Mar
garet of Savoy, abdicated. The crown
was offered to the Duke Of BraganZa.
who was living at Villavicosia. Mean
while, until the duke should accept the
crown, the people of Lisbon elected a
popular and influential Irish merchant,
named John Darcy. who resided in the
city, as their nominal king. Darcy ac-
ccpted the honor conferred upon him
and bore the title of "king Of Portugal"
from Dec. to Dec. @, 1910.

LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

About dusk you straggle in with

aside his lnending or his repairing or
his notebook and stirs up the cooking

and boiling arises in the air By the
dancing flame of the campfire you eat
your third dinner for the day-in the

formidable ones at that The curtain
of blackness is drawn down close.
Through it shine stars, loom mountains
cold and mistlike in the moon. You tell
stories; you smoke pipes. After time
the pleasant chill creeps down from the
eternal SHOWS. Some one throws an
other handful of pine cones on the fire.
Sleepily you prepare FOR bed. The pine
cones flare up, throwing their light In
your eyes. You turn over and wrap the
soft WOODEN blanket close about your
chin. You wink drowsily, and at once
you are asleep. Late in the night you
awaken to find your nose as cold as
dogs. You open one eye. A few Goals
mark where the fire has been. The mist
mountains have drawn nearer; they
seem to bend over you in silent con-
temptation. The moon is sailing high in
the heavens. With a sigh you draw the
