tax for 1899 and 1900, amounting to
$l9, 744.45, the principal and accrude

years was fought by the company, but
the supreme court recently held that it
must be paid, and taxes will be paid
for subsequent years on the $1,000, 900
valuation. The corporations are
gradually being brought to bear their

gineer on an eastern railroad that one
day he saidJto his two firemen: Sup
pose you fellows work as if you, and
not the company, were paying the coal

months the men caused saving in

the engine equal to almost four times
the amount Of wages paid the men
for that period, The incident sheds

BALLOONS AND BULLETS.

In the course of an interview with

NJ. Julliot, the engineer of NJ. Le-

loon could scarcely be injured by
rifle fire. Two hundred bullets
through the silk would only slightly
diminish the balloons powers of as
cension, while its exceedingly mo-
bile properties would render the pos
sibility of disablement by shell
fire exceedingly problematical. But
should it be seriously rent the aero
nauts would probably be able to
reach friendly territory in safety
before the final collapse.

Utilizing Rivers.

According to a German publica-
ton, Sweden is planning to use for
electricity every ounce of water now
going to waste over her falls and in
her rivers. Engineers are in the
hills making surveys, and capital is
getting ready for the call that is
sure to come just as soon as the
surveys are completed. The same
may be said of Norway, where the
waters have shorter distances to
run, but are often of. tremendous
volume. In Sweden the power will
be put to work in all manner of
mills; in Norway in the mines-iron
and copper.

The First Fiction.

The ''Tale of Two Brothers," written
5000 years ago by the Theban scribe,
Ennana, librarian of the palace to
King Merenptah, the supposed Pha-
raoh Of the Exodus, is the Oldest work
of fiction extant. The tale was writ
ten apparently for the entertainment
Of the crown prince, who subsequently
reigned as Sei II. His name appears
in two places on the manuscript-prob-
ably the only surviving autograph sig
natures Of an Egyptian king. This
piece Of antique fiction, written on
nineteen sheets of papyrus in a bold
hieratic hand, was purchased in Italy
by Nine. dOrbiney, who sold it in
1857 to the authorities Of the British
museum, where it is now known as
the D'Orbiney papyrus. Other speci-
mems Of ancient Egyptian fiction have
since come to light which appear to
prove that the Nile valley was not only
the birthplace Of the arts and sciences,
but was also the cradle of romance.
