THE TALL SOLDIER.
Adventure Of an English Military OFF,
Ger In Warsaw.

Adventure Of an English Military OFF,
Ger In Warsaw.
In Tales of My Father" Mr.. Falls
tells Of an adventure experienced by
him while visiting friend in Warsaw.
He had been walking with the prince
and had stepped into small cafe.
At the next table sat tall Russian
soldier with one or two companions.
The soldier took out box of dominos
and challenged one of his friends to
a game.
The prince said to my father:
"Go ask him to play with you.
know him. and he Is an interesting man
to talk to-"
My father crossed over to the table
with the prince, who said something
In Polish. The soldier Immediately In
vlted my father to sit down and play.
At the end of game the soldier re-
marked:
"My regiment Is quartered at st. Pc
tersburg. If you ever go there call at
the barracks and ask for Sergeant r."
"If you ever go to London call at the
life guards barracks and ask for Cap
tain H., returned my tather.
The Russian rose, saying it was not
for him to sit in the presence of his
superior officer. saluted and left the
cafe.
whoever your friend is, he is a tall
man." remarked my father.
"My friend with whom you have
been talking and playing dominos Is
the great czar-the Emperor Nicholas.
He has been here for week. 1t Is
his habit to go about disguised and to
mix among the people. Those who
know him would not lift finger to
harm him. He trusts himself to us
and carries his life in his hand. He
Is safer in these cafes than in the
gilded halls of the White palace at st.
Petersburg"
The next day my father saw the en-
peror leave Warsaw. followed by the
muttered curses of the people. With n
wonderful remembrance of faces, he
recognized my father in the crowd and
bowed to him courteously.

attention was attracted to the burial
place by shin bone sticking out
from beneath the rocks. On the bone
was hanging miners laced boot,
dried and shriveled from long ex-

boot were the bones of the foot, fallen
apart through decay of the ligaments,

SANG HER VERY BEST.
Frederick tho Great Was Posted and
Mario Frausch Was Wise.


There is a good story told of prima
donna named Marie Frausch, who lived
In the time of Frederick the Great
Whenever anything or anybody dis
pleased the naughty Frausch she, after
the manner of prima donnas in gener-
al, would suddenly become too hoarse
to sing. One evening there was to be
sung an opera in her repertory, and 1t
was expected that the king would at
tend.
At the appointed hour the manager
came forward and announced that,
owing to q sore throat Fraulein
Frausch was unable to appear.
The people were preparing to leave
the house, but his majesty rose and
commanded them to keep their seats.
A few moments afterward an officer
and four dragons entered the capri
cious singers room.
"Fraulein," said the officer, 1.-The king
inquiries after your health"
1.-THE king Is very good" said
Frausch, with n pout, "but l have a
sore throat"
His majesty is aware of the fact
and has charged me to take you to the
military hospital to be cured"
Fraulein, turning very pale, suggest
ed that they were jestlng, but was told
that Prussian officers never INDUCED
in persifiage. Soon she found herself
in a coach with four men.
II am little better now" Frausch
faltered, land 1 will try to sing"
Back to the theaterw said the officer
to the coachman.
The fraulein began to think she had
yielded too easily. Il shall not be able
to sing my BEST" she interposed.
Pardon. fraulein," responded the Of
ficer, "but 1 think you Will"
"And why?"
Because two dragons In attend
ance behind the scenes have orders to
carry you off to the military hospital
at the least cough"
Fraulein Frausch never sang better
than she did that night.-Chicago Rec

WOULD TAP THE
EApTH's POWER.

plot of one of his pseudo-scientIlic
novels has recently been discussed
with serious intentions by at least
two periodicals OF high standing. Not
content with the fact that the much
tried earth las been forced to supply
her ever-growing population with
both artificial light and artictial
heat, it is now proposed to turn Ger
tain portions of the globe into
gigantic steam boilers. Niagara falls,
once valued for its awe-inspiring
beauty alone, is now drawn upon by
the power houses of many electric
plants. 1t is the age of scientific
utilitarianism, in which nature is
constantly called upon to 'stand and
deliver" in the name of progress.
1t will be remembered that in the
driving of the Simplon tunnel intense
heat was encountered in the very
heart of the Alps, heat which, but for
the modern methods of cooling, aided
by the water from an ice-cold subter-
ranean river, would have incapacitat-
I'd the workmen and made further
progress impossible. at the bottom
of all deep mines the earth is very
considerably warmer than at the sur
face. A theoretical increase of
temperature OF l degree for every go
feet of depth has been based upon
results obtained in variety of locali
ties. This must, however be taken as
only approximate, for great variations
exist in different parts of the globe.
But there can be no doubt that the
heat of the earth gradually increases
with its depth, and upon this Is
based theorysfor new and general
source of power. 1t is proposed to
bore two holes directly into the
earth's surface 1900 feet deep and so
teet apart. At this depth there
shouldAbe, theoretically. tempera-
ture of about 240 degrees, which is
far above thu boiling point of water.
Then 1t is suggested that very heavy
charges of dynamite should be dropp-
ed to the bottom of each hole and
exploded simultaneously. This ex
plosion of dynamite, it is believed,
would result in forming an under
ground connection between the two
wells. This connection having been
successfully established, the idea is
to pour cold water down one hole,
and to utilize the steam arising from
the other tor the various industrial
purpose to which this long tested
force is applicable.
1t will at once become apparent
that the scheme, as fantastic and
Verne-like as it seems, has this much
in its favor, that, apart from the
original velocity of the steam itself,
there would be the extra pressure of
the descending column of water.
This may be calculated as some 5000
pounds to the square inch; ire
mendous motive force when the depth
of the wells is taken into considera-
tion. According to the American In
ventor, and even the much more con-
servative periodical, Chambers Jour-
nal, the scheme as practical under
taking would not be beyond the bust
ness worlds present standards of cost
and enterprise. 1t is believed that
in the Pittsburg district the plan
might be carried out for about $50,
000, and that after that amount had
been expended there would be practi-
calIy an unlimited supply of high.
pressure steam for the mere cost of
the water from which ii was produced.
