chased Maud S. be sent her to Char
ter Oak park to be trained. One day
a friend of Mr. Bonner left New
York to visit him at the park, but
found that the train did not stop at
that station. The conductor was
polite, but said that he could not go
against orders. At New Haven a halt
was made, and Mr.. Bonners friend
tried to brlbe the engineer with a
ten dollar bill, but in vain. He was
then told that Charles L. Clark, the
president of the road, was on the
train. and he went to him.
"Why don't you see the conductors"
asked Mr.. Clark.
81 have, but he will not disobey
orders"
"Why not then 60 forward and
bribe the engineerY
81 tried bribery at New Haven, but
it would not work"
The absence of evasion was the
best policy. Mr. Clark not only gave
orders to have the train stopped at
Charter Oak, but promised some day
to see Maud s. He had witnessed the
attempt at bribery and the frank con-
fession of the offense seemed to please

Many instances of mechanical inge-
nuity really remarkable to us In these
days, when we are supposed to have
advanced lin learning. are related by
various ancient authors. The silver
sphere, "a most noble and ingenious
performance" which was presented TO
Sultan Solyman the Magnificent by his
imperial majesty Ferdinand, Is men
toned by Paulus .Jovius as showing
and keeping time with the motions Of
the celestial bodies in various config-
urations. 1t was carried to CONSTANT
nople by twelve men and there put to-
gether by the artist that made it.
Mymecides, an ancient carver, was
so proficient in microscopic mechanism
that he made an ivory ship, with all
its decks, masts, yards, rigging and
sails. In so small compass that 1t
might have been hidden under the
wing of fly. He also made chariot
with four wheels and as many har-
messed horses, which took up scarcely
more room than the ship.
George Whitehead, an Englishman,
made ship, with all things pertaining
to it, to move as IL 1t sailed, upon a
table. "All hands were aloft. woman
made good music on lutte, and little
puppy cried in the midship, all of
which variety" says the old writer,
was pleasant and diverting."

A CHINESE STRATAGEM.
Legend of How a Projected Invasion
Was Averted.

LSSSHo oT s1OW FfpISSAe6
Was AVerted.
Rajah Suran, who was one of the
earliest rulers of India, overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh-
ters. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council of his
generals and mandarins. and upon the
advice of q crafty old mandarin the
following strntegem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails. trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew of old men and dispatched TO the
rajah's capital. When it arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story is
that it did arrlve-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In corroboration OF
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which. they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. You can see," they
concluded, that China must be a very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion. :

BURNED cHlNAMAN DYING.

PHOENIX. April 13.-Leo. the Mar
icopa Chinaman who was so seriously
burned at that place last week. is in
a rather precarious condition just
now he suffered rather deep burns
about the legs and body and the
burns on one leg are so severe that
complications have set in. Leo was
brought up here the middle Of the
week. and is now being cared for
by fellow countryman in a house
near the river. He is under the care
Of DR.. Brechaa. and everything posi-
ole is being done for his comfort, but
the outlook for his ultimate recovery
is not at all brigh. at the present
time. according to the physician.
Day before yesterday he had a tem-
perature of 104 and ppart of the
time was delirious. 1t is feared that
the burns on the leg are so deep that
the wound will not heal. Already the
burnt skin Is decaying and slough
ing of It is altogether probable
that before he recovers one or more
operations OF skin grating will have
to be performed. The surface from
which the skin has been burned is
rather large in area. and it is the
doctors opinion that nature will not
be able to replace the destroyed skin
without aid
Leslie Mccarthy. who was also
burned at the same time, has been
making daily trips here for treat
ment and is recovering as well as
can be expected under the circur.
stances.
