 MANUFACTURING BUSINESS
 WILL BE CREATED
 the moment the change in railroad transportation occurs, and 1t must oc- cur quickly, just think what tre- mendous manufactory will have to be built for the Leffler System. The business will be immense, with em- ployment for thousands of workmen. There is no line of manufacturing business that has been so successful in the past ten years as the electrical manufacturing line. One electrical manufacturing company employs 12,- 900 men, making electric railway equipments and cars. Another cleo trical manufacturing firm employs 10000 men. There are also thous- ands of men employed making stand ard steam locomotives and equip ments. One of the immediate results of the adoption of the Leffler electric system by the railroads and street car lines will be the establishing of the largest electrical manufacturing works in the world.

DOOM OF MIGHTY LONDON.
Fire About the Only Agent Which
 Can Cause It's Destruction.

With hints of German invasion and of an approaching earthquake, the question What will be the doom of London?" seems not unreasonable one. What will be the end of the great city? What will bring about the ruin over which Macaulay's New Zealander Is to cast his moralizing eye? Several answers may be given. The destruction of London at the hands of victorious invader is pos sible, but extremely improbable. Lon don may be besieged, even lombard ed; she cannot be destroyed. Flood? This again may be dismissed as most improbable; and one calamity only re- mains to be considered, namely-flre. Now, London has suffered more than once terribly from this cause, and in 1866 the city was practically wiped out. Every one knows this; but 1t Is not every one who knows that the great confiagration was predicted 15 years before by Lilly, the astrologer, and by another astrologer, Nostrada- mus, century before that Nostrada- mus cast his prediction in French quatrain, the gist of which was that in 1866 London would be visited by confiagration which would destroy St. Paurs and S9 other churches.-Cas- sells Saturday Journal. .-

HORRORS OF DARK AGES.

 of Ancient Tyrant.

The horror of horrors in all Italy Is

 Brescia. His cruelties finally became SO intolerable that the church pro- claimed a crusade against him. The peasantry rose and q farmer killed the
 brute with scythe. was shown an upright box in which was the skeleton of a victim. Two apertures enabled the condemned to see a table, just out of reach, crowded with food and drink.

MONSTER MOSQUITO.
TERRIBLE CREATURE WHICH EASTERN MUSEUM IS BUILDING.
Exact Duplicate of the Pestiferous Blood Sucker Being Constructed Which Is 100000 Times Big
 ger Than in Actual Life.

The king of pests, indeed. will be the monster mosquito which is being built out of wood and wax and cellu- Ibid, and glass and paper and paint and other things for the American museum of natural history at New York city. Think of creature 100000 times larger than the biggest buzzer and borer which you ever had light on your neck and extract your life's blood and leave behind when he had done an itch which you could not reach after the most violent contor- tions. But one good thing about the monster creature which will tower above man from its place in the mu- scum will be that he, or rather they, will be perfectly harmless, for there are to be two of them, male and fe- male, together with the larva and pupa.
 The building of such a creature has never been attempted before. These two mosquitoes have teen a year and

TRUE TO HIS PROMISE.
By Their Own Testimony, Doctor Had
 Rejuvenated Patients.

A German doctor who claimed to have discovered the secret of restor- ing youth. advertised In London that he could in two days rejuvenate the most decrepit hag. This brought a crowd of ancient danes to his house. At the first interview he invited each patient to write her surname. Chris tian name and age on piece of paper. The ages whereto they pleaded guilty varied, but all ruled high. The doctor undertook to give each patient the promised elixir next day. On the ap- pointed day the doctor regretted that he unfortunately had mislaid the pa per containing his youth-seekers' ages. and he. therefore. requested each one to write 1t down and call again. In writing down her age the second time each woman took many years off the age she previously had admitted. The doctor. pretending to have found the first papers. called them to witness. comparing the lists, that he had kept his word. inasmuch as in 4s hours they had all become many years younger.
