PASSENGER ELEVATORS.
Their Invention Made the Modern
Skyscraper Possible.

Their Invention Made the Modern
Skyscraper Possible.
1t is certain that the earliest and the
most indispensable of the factors which
have enabled the construction OF the
mighty skyscrapers of today was the
passenger elevator and that this was
brought into use during the sixties of
the last century, its first appearance
in New York being in the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel. 1t was at about the same
time introduced into the Astor House,
then already a generation old. So OBJ
vious was the utility Of this device
that the wonder again is that 1t had
not been brought into practice long be-
fore. HOSTS are, of course. as old as
the Dutch warehouses, of which the
picturesoueness is enhanced by the
projecting cranes that worked the
hoists, doubtless as old as Archimedes.
But hotels, even when the Fifth Ave
nue. was built, were conditioned In al
titude, as were all other buildings not
exclusively monumental, by the pow
ers of ascension Of the unassisted hu-
man leg. Five stories was the max
imum for commercial buildings, except
that an attical sixth might be added
for the accommodation of the 1anitor.
whose name was Hobson and who had
to go where he was sent, which, nat
orally, was where no paying guest
could be induced to go. He and his
may have taken their outlook on life
from Sits or bullseyes just under the
roof. In the cases of hotels the sixth
story was assigned to servants and
storerooms. Tenants or inmates could
not be induced to climb more than
four flights of stairs and grumbled
grievously in the case of inmates of
hotels and accused the hotel clerk OF
perfidy when they had to climb SO
many. A device which would make
all the floors, even of five story hotel.
equally accessible, and so equally de-
sirable, was a device very sure of I'M
mediate adoption, so sure that the only
wonder was that the supply of 1t
should have so Jagged behind the de-
mand. The beginnings Of the eleva-
tors were, 1t is quite true, the begin
nings also of what In their earlier
stages were known as the elevator
buildings. "-Scribner's Magazine.

Miss DrusiIla looked sAsewdly across

He gave no outward indication of hav-

Miss Drusilla proceeded to divest

A mid-eighteenth century traveller.

wrote that 'shampooing is an opera

chants shampooed before me should

from India that the word really came,

But if the Kendalls had observed
closely they would have seen that Miss
Millicent rarely partook of the Injuries
that graced their table. To her sensi-
tive soul it was blood money that she
had taken for John Tremont's ring.
But Amos ate and Dragged to his
neighbors, I'VE had spring lamb yes
terday," or Not many people can eat
strawberries at this season"
Miss Millicent spent recklessly. She
wanted to make Amos good natured,
and she had found a way.
But she was not happy. The possess
sion of the ring had seemed to bind
her to her old lover. She did not know
where he was, whether living or dead.
but he had seemed to be in her life
until she had sold his ring.
Daily she went to the little jewel
shop and looked in the window where
the ring was displayed. Inside the
golden circle were the words ''To Dear
est" She wondered if some other
lover would buy it and use that in
scription secondhand.
One day as she stood, little fragile
figure with faded curls falling in old
fashioned style over her thin,. white
cheeks. man stopped beside her.
tMillicent," he said softly.
She flashed up at him a startled
glance. "Oh. John, JohnT' she gasped.
81 had to sell it."
"Sell what?'
"My ring-the ring you gave me-"
1t all came out then-her story OF
poverty, his story Of work and ac-
quirement Of wealth in the far west.
"And I guess I'm good enough to
take care of you now, Millie," he said
triumphantly as he finished.
"But Pm such a poor little old
thing" she faltered.
Don't" he said quickly. 'You are
young to me, and what's forty-fve?
Why, we've a long, long life ahead of
us yet, dearest"
And with that he went in and pur-
chased another ring and also one of
plain gold, and in the morning they
were married, with Sarah Kendall for
matron of honor.
After that the Kendalls lived on a
wave of prosperity, for John fremont
never forgot Sarah's kindness to MILF
cent.
And whenever Amos Kendall grum-
bled about his work or worries Sarah
always stopped him. "You just re-
member how you used to fuss about
Miss Millie," she would tell him, "and
all the time she was an angel I'M
aWares."

ExHILARATING SPORT.
Dog Driving Over the Ice and Snow OF
Labrador.


Labrador.
Winter driving with team OF
dozen dogs is declared by DR.. Grenfell
of Labrador to be the most fascinating
sport ever enjoyed by man. His de-
scription of it as quoted by James
tombstone in his book, "Grenfell OF
Labrador" is as follows:
Although there is no harder work
when driving over rough country,
vet the bracing cold, the exhilarating
brightness of the reflected light from
the snow, the difficulty of getting bad
" hurt, however sharply one shoots a
mountain side or even tumbles over
cliff, the absence of damp or moisture,
the fact that one can travel anywhere
in soft, light moccasins and in such
clothing as is most conducive to agil-
ity, without any reference to conven-
tionality, all help to vanquish any re
alization Of labor on long trip.
There is infinite scope for skill in
choosing, tending and training your
dogs, also for both pluck and physical
the woodsman is called for in crossing
miles Of virgin country, where at any
time any wrong turn will surely mean
a night in the open and perhaps
temperature of 40 degrees Of frost.
Dog driving also teaches one what
boxing is said to teach, self control,
for of all the trials Of temper one can
be called on to endure the worst is,
given a glorious day for travelling and
when one is in hurry, to have ones
dogs run wild, listening to nothing,
not watching anything, but tangling
with every stump and tree and biting
at everything that comes In the way.
AS one man told me when l asked
him what kind of team he had: 'I's
had to give 'em up, sir, though loved
they well enough. Good dogs be that
wild it is too hard for to be a-handlin
Of 'em and be Christian, too, sir"

ABOARD A SUBMARINE.
The Crew, the Work and the Kind Of
Life the Men Lead.

The Crew, the Work and the Kind OF
Life the Men Lead.
Life aboard a submarine is not So
unpleasant or dangerous as one might
imagine, but it is entirely different
from that led on other types of ships.
The crew. usually consisting of two
officers and fourteen men, is selected
from volunteers after a most rigid
medical examination. Service rarely
extends beyond period of two years,
and real work on submarine is limit
ed to about three weeks in the sum-
mer and one in the winter. During the
remainder of the time the men live on
a ''parent" ship or on shore. The boat
is, however. put through the various
evolutions once every week.
The first impression on entering a
submarine is one of heat, the air being
rather close and heavy, but the men
soon become accustomed to it. Stand
ing room space is about six and one
half feet, and toward both ends the
boat tapers away almost to a point.
There are no portfolios The hatchway
in the coming tower is the only aper-
ture. Under water electric light Is
used. There are ventilators, but when
the boat dives they are shut OF with a
cap
Life on board submarine is essen
TALLY Gin common" The way men
and many objects are crammed to-
gether in a narrow space is almost
miraculous.
Cooking is done in an electric oven,
and no foods which have a strong or
disagreeable smell are used. OF course
smoking is allowed only when on the
surface and then on the bridge. Ow-
ing to the character of the men select
ed discipline is perfect.
There is scarcely any noise in sub
marine when submerged. The greatest
depth the boat descends does not ex-
coed thirty feet At that depth her
speed is about 8 knots. The air is
quite "breathable" for four hours. but
in case of emergency the crew can re
main closed in for seventy hours with
out danger.
The men love the life. With the off,
GERS they are as one family, sharing
everything equally, including the dan
gers, which are not much to speak Of.
provided every one does his duty.
When the weather is fair there is very
little rolling. In rough weather the
men escape knocking about by holding
on to ''steadying lines."-New York
Press.

Thermometers.
Testing Processes at the National
Weather Bureau.

Testing Processes at the National
Weather Bureau.
Each day at the weather bureau in
Washington the thermometers received
from various manufacturers through
out the country are put through the
test of standardizing them.
The various processes through which
the bulbs pass before they are labeled
accurate" are easy, inasmuch as there
is practically little scientific work at
tached to the test. When thermom-
eter is first handed to the man in the
testing room it is dipped into a vat
filed with compound far below the
freezing point. 1t is thrust in at the
point where it happens to be at the
time and worked up and down until
the degree Of the compound is reached
Having then recorded the lowest tenn
perature, the process of testing for the
highest is begun. This is just as sim
pie as testing for the low temperature.
The bulb is dipped into vat Of water,
first at 60 degrees. Then it is worked
gradually until 1870 degrees is reached.
If the mercury in the bulb will indi
cate 100 degrees further testing is I'M
necessary, because that is a tolerably
warm temperature and one seldom if
ever reached by natural heat.
A thermometer the bulb of which
contains mercury will not register
lower than % degrees below zero-that
is, mercury will freeze at that point
In this country very little use is
found for thermometers showing more
than % degrees below zero, but in the
far north they are Of course necessary.
Such instruments. however, contain
spirits in the bulbs instead of mer-
curry, but even this fluid becomes slug
gish when 40 or so below zero is re-
corded, and it will seldom show 60 be-
low.-Harper's Weekly.

checked himself, rejecting that per-

JURIEs IN ENGLAND.

They Get Through Their Work Quickly
and With Little Fuss.
The working of the British jury sys-
tenn exhibits marked contrast with
that of our own. 1t is possible that my
experience in British courts was ex-
ceptional, but in not single instance
did see a juror challenged or reject
ed. In all of the courts requiring ju-
ries the necessary number of men
were present. and they were sworn in
without question. In the sheriff's dep
uty court in Scotland the presiding
Judge gave notice to the jury that he
expected to adjourn the court at 2
o'clock and stated that If they could
all remain until that hour he would at
once dismiss the men who had been
called for a second panel. The jurors
conferred together and decided to re-
main till | o'clock. whereupon the
Judge notified the other men to appear
at 1890 The one jury impaneled for
the morning session rendered six YER
diets in cases involving prosecutions
for thefts, fraud and burglary.
In the court of quarter sessions at
Taunton. England, l saw single jury
in one day render eleven verdicts.
found that it Yves customary in the
several sorts Of court that | attended
for the same jury to act in successive
cases. In no instance did see a jury
leave their seats to make up their YER
dict. Usually the issue before them
was made so plain that all whs gave
attention knew in advance what the
decision would be. l made note of an
exceptional instance of delay when the
court was forced to wait nine minutes
for the report of the jury. In this case
the Judge who gave the instructions
was himself in doubt as to what the
verdict ought to be.
A Scottish jury consists Of fifteen
persons, and a majority may render
verdict. In England the number is
twelve, and unanimity is required. But
1 noted no difference as to practical
results in the two countries The
twelve men in the English jury were
as prompt and certain in their action
as were the eight out of fifteen in the
Scottish jury. -McClure's Magazine.
