ROMANCE IN ART.

It was Millais' picture, "Ophelia,"
exhibited at the Academy in 1852,
that provided his friend and brother
pre-Raphaelite, Dante Gabriel Ros-
setti, with a wife. Millais had been
at loss for a suitable model for his
picture, but at length secured one in
the person of charming young lady
who was employed as an assistant be-
hind the counter of a bonnet shop.
She was the daughter of Sheffield
tradesmah. a beautiful and lovable
girl, with q wealth of golden hair,
and was named Elizabeth Siddal
Young Rossetti fell deeply in love
with the fair model; he taught her
to paint and ultimately married her.
Another picture with a romantic
history is one that was exhibited in
the Academy few years ago, sim
pie portrait of young girl. 1t was
the work of an unknown artist, but
was painted with a charm and fresh
freshness which did ample justice to
the beauty of his fair model, a young
lady whose sweetness of expression
caused many a visitor to the Acad-
envy to stop and admire.
Among them was a younger son
of one of England's wealthiest and
most aristocratic families, on whom
the ineXpressible fascination of the
lovely unknown created such an i'm
preston that he made almost daily
pilgrimages to the Academy for the
express purpose of worshiping at the
shrine of his pictured lady love; for,
indeed he had become deeply enam-
ored of the face that the artist had

REDUCING FIRE RISK.

Anything that reduces the fire-risk
of a railroad is direct addition to
it's assets as basis for its securities.
AS such the new step taken by the
Pennsylvania in equipping its yard
locomotives with fire-fghting appa-
ratus for use in emergencies like
fires in shops, freight-houses or
among cars is one worthy of atten-
ton and imitation. The new move is
not a merely tentative one but is
based on the pronounced success al
ready achieved by locomotives equip
ped with hose, pumps and tank con-
nections in saving rolling stock in
the yards. 1t is said that to this sim
pie equipment will be added fire
extinguishers and possibly other
hand conVeniences for use where the
heavier hose stream might create es-
pecial loss from water. In thus max
ing of a locomotive an emergency
double-functioned fire fighter-doing
the work of both a steam fire engine
and a chemical without neg
lecting usual duties a very effective
insurance against loss is provided at
small expense.

STORK WOULDN'T FACE
BROOKLYN BRIDGE CRUSH

AS the crowd surged from car
on loop No. 4 at the Brooklyn bridge
Thursday young woman staggered
and would have fallen had not the
strong arms of Policeman Palmeter
saved her. The perspiration stood
out on his forehead as he took in the
situation. 1t was plainly an emer
gency case. When Sergeant Sahulka
hurried up to help him with the
young woman to the comfort sta
ton the officer said to an elderly wo-
man in the throng that had gathered;
You better follow on, madam; you
may be needed" Every woman in
the line was plainly of the same opin-
ion and while Marion Ryan took
charge of the patient and Policeman
Harry Smith telephoned Hudson
Street hospital for an ambulance,
hundreds of women waited outside.
The elderly woman only had been
invited in. Everybody by this time
had learned that the sufferer was
Mrs. Altersko of 4S9 Fifth avenue.
With the arrival of Surgeon Burrows
the room was cleared of all but the
matron. Presently the door opened.
Mrs. Altersko was placed in the am
bulance. At late hour an anxious
husband was still in pleasing eXpec-
tatiOn.

FIND FISH HALE REPTILE,
AND IN KENTUCKY, TOO

While cleaning out a pond on his
farm in the Vanderburg section of
Hopkins county, charles Winstead
discovered some curious features of
animal life which are half fish and
half quadruped. The animals have
the body and head of a catfish and
behind the gills on each side is a
well-formed leg, with the foot con-
tanning four toes, and two more legs
about two-thirds of the distance from
the first part.
The queer creatures seem capable
of navigation either on land or wa
ter, and one when placed on table
propelled itself by its four legs. The
animals or reptiles resemble alliga-
tors and catfish more than anything
else, but no one has been found who
is able to properly classify them.
Winstead says his pond contained
several of the creatures more than
a foot in length Winstead says the
pond was never known before to
contain any animal life and the orr
gin of the odd residents is a mystery.

purposes as few of his rivals are able
to hide theirs. Not given to taking
others into his closet, he remains
even in the closest ententes an ele-

allies. 1t is not that they do not
trust him, but rather that they can

the principle that the unknown al

Mr. Frick does not go out of his
way to multiply friends. He does not
reject ovcrtures of friendship, but he
rarely makes them. Those who see
most of him do not feel that they are
much nearer his inner life than those
who meet him only in business rela-
tionships. But he is man who in
spires respect. even if he fails to in

"WHO'S WHO IN 1890"

The census Bureaus unique publ
cation, who's Who in 1890 is just
off the press. A limited appropria-
ton makes it impossible at the pres
ent ime to issue the returns from all
the states then in existence. The
schedules for New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Maryland, however, are
completed, while those from the re-
naming states will follow soon.
These volumes are a reprint of the
first census returns. Each will form
an attractive booklet of 100 pages,
one volume for each state,
The original documents form
queer collection. These are preserved
in twenty-six oddly assorted volumes
in the Census Office. For the most
part the headings are written in by
hand. The marshals, on whose Shout
ders the task of making the first
enumeration devolved. were obliged
to furnish their own blanks. In con-
sequence all sizes and color of paper
we're used, many of the returns be-
ing written on merchants account
forms.
These were bound, sometimes in
wall paper, sometimes in anything
together, they vary in size from four
inches to three feet in length.
Genealogical experts and Others in
terested in family origins found it
practicable to refer to these tablets,
and so great was the demand for in
formation on the subject that the
Census office decided to publish the
compilations in convenient form.
Thus the list of heads of families
III years ago will be an open book
for one and all.
In March, 1890, the Union was
composed of twelve states, Rhode
Island, the last of the original thir-
teen being admitted May 18th. YER
mont. however, was admitted before
the results of the first census were
announced. Maine was part of Mas
sachusetts, Kentucky a part of Vir-
ginia, Alabama and Mississippi were
included in the state of Georgia;
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin were known only as the
Northwest Territory, while beyond
the Mississippi river lay the great
uneXplored wilderness, then the prop
erty of the Spanish crown. The great
Revolution was still wildly fresh in
the minds of all grown persons. Life
everywhere held much of danger. The
/ Indians were a constant menace. and
many were the massacres.
New York city had population of
33,131, and the entire population of
the United States was 3,23 ,533. AS
! families at that time averaged six
members, the total heads of families
was about half million. The rec
ords of Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky,
/ Tennessee and Virginia were burned
when the British set fire to the capt.
toll, but they have been supplied in
part from state enumerations taken
| in the same year.
The object of the census was to
ascertain the nations military and
| industrial strength and the work
was done under difficulties that SEEM
ed almost insurmountable The jour
ney between New York and Wash
ington could be accomplished under
! favorable conditions in eight days.
There were no roads and bridges
were undreamed of. People were
suspicious, fearing an increase of
taxes. Others had religious scruples,
hesitating to give their names lest
they offend the Deity. The reports
that struggled in during a year and
half, however, now make an inter-
esting heritage.

FURNISHES So PER CENT OF
PRODUCTION OF ASBESTOS

Commercial asbestos includes
fibrous minerals of two distinct types.
True asbestos is aetinolite or tremo-
lite, but the more important asbesti-
form mineral is the fibrous variety Of
serpentine known as chrysotile. This
variety is everywhere associated with
serpentine, which is derived from the
alteration of eruptive rocks. 1t has
been reported as occurring in cont
mercial quantities in Massachusetts.
Vermont, North Carolina, Wyoming.
Arizona Washington. Oregon and
California.
The eastern townships of the Prov
ince of Quebec furnish the greater
part (S5 per cent? of the worlds
production of asbestos. In 1906 Can
ada exported 59,S64 tons of asbestos.
valued at s1.629,257. most of which
came to the United States Improved
methods of mining are being intro
duced in Canada and the output there
is increasing.
Both forms of asbestos are APP
piled to many uses, depending in part
upon the fibrous character of the ma
terial, but also upon its non-conduc-
tivity of heat and electricity. The
best grade of chrysotile fiber is spun
into thread, yarn and rope, and WOW
en- into cloth The yarn is largely
used for packings and the cloth for
theater curtains, whole fabrics con-
tanning asbestos woven with other
fibres are made into various house
hold articles in which heat insulation
rather than fireproof character is re-
quired.
Asbestos is extensively used fer
plastering and for making lumber
that is employed in buildings where
insulation against fire and electricity
are desired. Its use in fireproof
structures, and especially to envelop
electrical conductors, is constantly in
creaSing.
The production of asbestos in the
United States in 1906 was 1895 tons,
valued at $2S,565, as against 3109
tons valued at $42,975, in 1907. The
imports were valued at S ,O76,170.
The output of all existing asbestos
mines is insufficient to supply the de-
mand for this product, and the lead
ing manufacturing firms interested in
the industry are diligently searching
for new deposits.
An advance chapter from Mineral
Resources of the United States, Cal
endar Year, 1906" on the production
of asbestos in the United States in
1906, by J. S. Diller, of the United
States Geological Survey, is now
ready for free distribution.

SIX-POUND FROG KILLED.

William White went frog hunting
in Obion river bottom, near Gleason,
Tex, and killed a bullfrog which
weighed six and one-half pounds and
measured eighteen inches.
After the frog had been shot with
a shotgun it would have gotten away
had it not been for Whites dog
grabbing it.
White also killed a rattlesnake
which weighed twentyseven pounds,
and had twenty-five rattles. 1t was
said to be the largest rattler that had
been killed there in many years.

CHINA'S FUTURE.

The announcement that the en-
press, who has been the real ruler of
China for more than a third of a CEN
fury, will soon give up her power,
suggests the possibility of important
changes affecting that country, and
important to the world at large be-
cause China contains one-fourth of
the worlds population. The throne
is everything in the celestial empire,
and the future of the country de-
ponds on the character of the success
sor to absolute power.
The emperor has been only pup
pet in the hands of the empress. He
succeeded to the throne when he was
but two and a half years old. Per-
haps he will now become emperor in
fact as we'll as in name. AS he is
now 80 years old. he is not incapaci-
tated by extreme youth even in
China.
The influence of the empress has
been against progress. although
China has made progress in spite of
her. If the emperor were to throw
of tho conservatism, +bot bac l,ant
China almost stationary for a thou
sand years, We might expect some
such changes as have taken place in
for China has nearly nine times as
many people as Japan.
Japans foreign trade has increased
China's has increased by about $50
per cent. Her exports and imports

were as large as Japan's in proper
ton to population, they would go
above the three-billion-dollar mark,
If China were to embark extern
sively in railroad building, she would
draw an immense amount of money
from Europe and America. She has
a population sufficient to support a
greater railroad mileage than the en-
tire world now has. Whenever the
spirit of development seizes her she
will, for time, tax the resources oil
the world to provide her with mate
rials. The money of the world will
invariably flow to the place that Of
fers it most liberal returns.
The yellow peril, so called, is a
bugaboo that should not frighten any
sane man. True, China and Japan
together have as great a population
as Europe and the United States but
even if they had the inclination for
conquest and the money to put their
millions in the field, their distance
from Europe or the United States
would make successful aggression
impossible. The overthrow of Rus
STA by Japan, only about one-third as
strong, shows that no nation can sue
cessfully exert it's strength six thou
sand miles from home.
