COAT OF ARMS UNTRUE.

Woman Didn't Care as Long as 1t
Filled a Place.
How is business?' asked the friend
of the genealogist.
1T is good, except that | have had
to give up furnishing coats Of arms to
people"
"Why?"
Because | will not furnish an mac
curate one, nor supply one to person
who is not entitled to it. The work is
hard; for each device means a great
deal and must be traced accurately,
and many of my patrons, alas! do not
care whether they are entitled to it or
not if they can only have something
to hang on the wall and point to and
use on their stationery.
mot long ago | searched out coat
of arms for lady and had an artist
paint it for her. After I sent it to
her | learned that it was slightly in
accurate, and as was anxious to have
it changed at once, I asked her to re-
turn it to me while for that purpose.
She replied:
"'Oh, no. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference. / have 1t framed and hanging
on my wall; and if / should take it
down now it would leave a bare
place."

Queer Shape of Dog for Which Pc

Miss Marie B. Potter, the fourteen
year-old daughter of E. G. Potter, a
broker at SO Wall street, who lives at
the Country club, Throggs Neck. has
enlisted the police of the Westchester
station, from Captain Gray down to
the doorman, in n9r search for her
dachsnund puppy Peanut, who has
been missing since Saturday. She
calls him Peanut because Of his shape.
He isn't of particularly high pedigree,
but Miss Potter says his character and
general excellence as dog more than
make up for his lack of absolutely

After posting notices, offering S. re-
ward and no questions asked, and
hearing nothing from her og, she
asked Captain Gray to send out an
alarm for him. The captain has told
every man in the precinct to keep an

THE WORLDS LONGEST TREsTLE.
Through Americas Dead Sea Runs a
Railroad.


Right through Great Salt Lake-the
Dead sea of the New world-runs
railroad. The actual length of this,
the longest trestle in the world, is
twelve miles. 1t contains $4,000 piles,
the longest single pile being SO feet
and the longest spliced pile 120 feet.
The cost of constructing this wonder
full piece of railroad was $5,OOO,OOO
ind the time required to build it was
three years. At one place in the bed
of the lake thousands of cars Of rock
were emptied without making the
least impression in the way of founda-
ton. In riding over this road-r1ght
through the beautiful, sparkling Salt
Lake-one notices the absence of boats
Of any kind, although the lake is over
one hundred miles in length and sew
enty miles across at its widest place,
and one would think it afforded great
attractions for the sailor or oarsman.
But the fact is, rowing or sailing is al
most impossible on the surface OF this
Dead sea, for it is so very heavy with
salt that navigation, or even swim
ming, is slow and laborious, rendering,
therefore, little pleasure for the pains.
If one dips up pail of water from
Great Salt lake and lets it stand in the
sun till the water evaporates, there
will be found one-third Of a pail OF
salt
Hundreds of centuries ago the wa
tiers of this great body extended over
the thousands of acres of land that
surround it now in the form OF dry,
desolate wastes on which nothing
grows, for no animal, vegetable nor
fowl life can exist on this one-time
salt sea bed.
