If Oskar Becker had aimed true.
on June IA, 1861, the map Of Eu-
rope might not be what it IS today
On that day at Baden Baden Beck
er, twenty-five years old, waited for
King William of Prussia in the park
where he usually walked and, when
he appeared in company with Count
Fleming, fired pistol shot in his
direction. The man was captured
by people who were much more OK
cited than the sturdy king, who
kept on his walk despite the slight
wound on his neck Becker was sem
fenced to twenty years prison serv-
ice, but the king pardoned him in
1866. He went to the United States
and two years later died at Alexan-
dria, Egypt.

The Oldest Banknotes.

The Oldest banknotes in the
world are the "hying money or
convenient money, first issued in
China in 2G97 b. c. One writer
tells that the ancient Chinese bank
notes were in many respects sim
liar to those Of the present day,
bearing the name Of the bank, the
date Of issue, the number of the
note. the signature of the official
who issued il and its value in both
figures and words. On the top Of
these curious notes was the follow
ing philosophic injunction: ''Pro-
duce all you can, spend with econ
omy" The note was printed IN
blue ink on paper made from the
fiber of the mulberry tree One Of
these notes bearing the date 1899

attic museum at st. Petersburg.

vNsouGHT GLORY.
Luck Of an involuntary Hero Of che
Franco. Prussian War.

franco. ffu8Slan war.
During the Franco-Prussian war
the horse Of a Prussian cavalryman
Involuntary did an act which led
to the capture Of French battery,
and, just as often happens in life,
the credit for it was bestowed else
where.
One day during hot conflict the
troop Of cavalry in which Fritz,
whom We will call the soldier in
question, rode came to the top of
hill. On the crest of another hill
and across a deep ravine the French
had planted battery.
Suddenly Fritz's horse reared
and jumped and started down the
hill toward the ravine ON a swift
run. Fritz tried to check the
frightened animal, but found that
it had taken the bit in its teeth
and was wholly manageable.
Down the hill, across the ravine
and up the hill ON the opposite
side the horse went at a wild gallop.
The French battery began pour
ing out shot and shell, and Fritz
realized that runaway horse was
exposing him to terrible danger.
The cannon doomed, and the Shrek
ing shells passed by his head, but
by some strange fate neither he
nor his horse was harmed.
AS the horse dashed up the hill
to the very mouth Of a cannon
Fritz concluded to make the best
of his dangerous situation and drew
his sabcr for self defense.
To his surprise, he saw the
Frenchmen leave their batteries
and turn like frightened sheep.
But he understood why they were
panic stricken when he looked back
and saw his comrades charging up
the hill on their horses. BY this
time he had gained control Of his
horse, and, dismounting, he held
one of the cnemy's guns as the
prize he had captured.
When the other cayalrymen came
up he found out that they did not
know his horse had run away, but
thought it was all personal bravery
on his part and that he had urged
the animal to make its mad race
into "the jaws Of death to capture
the battery
Did Fritz explain that his bravery
had been forced upon him? Well.
no! He was shrcwd and sensible
fellow. 50 he accepted compliments
and congratulations and said moth
ing.
He was promoted to captainey,
and all because of his runaway
horse. If Fritz had not made that
ride the cavalry would never have
attempted it.

NAPoIEoN's HARD BATTLE.
Fought Out With himself tho Fret
Night az ST. Helena.

When the frigate Northumber-
land, with the imperial prisoner,
Napoleon, on board. dropped an
Choir off Jamestown, ST llelena. II
was found that tie farm witch was
to be Napoleon's home and place
OF captivity-was not real, for his
reception. Mrs. Henry II Carroll,
whose father-in-law, S.. William
Carroll, was then American consul
at the little port, told to the Chi
cago Inter Ocean the story Of that
first night of exile, as she has often
heard it from Sir William.
The emperor and his suit were
taken on shore and housed in
small hotel in the village OF James
town. Sir William Carroll and two
other gentlemen were asked to
spend the night with Napoleon.
Why this request was made or b.
whom I never heard my fathcr-in-
law say. 1t may have been an act
of courtesy on the part of the Eng
fish government, or it may have
been in the nature of a precaution
Napoleon received his guests in
his apartments on the second floor.
The greeting was dignified and cor
dial, and in spite of the cmbar-
RAISING situation they were made
to feel welcome.
The emperor talked Of his trip,
the great distance they had COW
cred, the speed they had made and
little incidents Of the voyage. With
in short time he retired to his
sleeping apartment adjoining
The door had scarcely closed be-
hind him before he began to pace
back and forth in his room with
quick, nervous tread Sir William
and his friends were talking in or
binary tones with the cmpcror's
suit, but above their voices rose
the sound of the restless footsteps.
Hour after hour went BY, and still
the monotonous pacing IN that in
ner room was unbrokcn. The first
rays of light which ushercl in a
gray morning found the English
visitors worn out with their strange
vigil, but there was no sign of ia
tigue in the unfaltcring footsteps
Sir William was a young man
then, with steady nerves, but he
used to say that long before the
sun came up he felt hat if some
thing did not happen to stop the
maddening monotony Of those foot
steps he would have 10 force his
way into the cmpcrors presence
and stop it himself.
1t was after O'Clock, however,
before Napoleon came out to bid
his guests good morning and thank
them for their kindness. There was
q faint smile on his lips as he
| glanced at the weary party. In his
own eyes was tired look, but 9TH
erwisc there was no indication of
the strain which he had undergone
Sir William said that was the
hardest battle Napoleon ever
fought and that he then under
stood the loyalty and devotion of
the soldiers to the man who silent
| ly and alone faced the future that
was to him moro bitter than death.

monARcHs OF THE AIR.
Wonderful Flights Of Tn. er;aa.. s;,d
and Aihatross.

ana AloAtroee.
Early in the morning the great
vulture Of North Africa leaves his
aerie in the mountains and scars
away into the sky, rising to such i
height that the human eve. strain
ing against the sun bathed skv. fails
to perceive him.
All day long, hour after hour, he
swings OF hovers, never dropping
unless his keen eyes perceive car,
RON beneath, and not until sunset
does he wing his way back, appar-
emily as fresh as when he started
This vulture has been watched bv
the hour through powerful tele-
scopes and never once seen to give
90 much as a single flap with his
wings.
For very long time the common
explanation Of soaring flight was
that soaring birds like the vulture
took advantage of air currents. 1t
is a fact that some birds like the
albatross need q breeze to enable
them to sail through the air, but
there are others, such as the frigate
or man-of-war bird, which can rise
IN the calm and float all day with
out motion Of their broad pinions.
The wings of the frigate bird
have an expanse Of ten to twelve
feet, and it can fly at any pace up to
100 miles an hour and can remain
Tor a week on tho wing without
once perching.
The albatross Of the southern
hemisphere has been known to fol-
low a sailing ship for fortnight
at time. apparently never resting.
Its wing expansc is greater than
that of the condor, one bird that
was shot off the Cape of Good Hope
measuring seventeen and half feet
from wing tip to wing tip.
From these figures it might be
; gathered that the larger the wing
e1panse of any particular bird the
greater its powers of flight. Yet
the powers Of flight in various birds
are not by any means proportionate
to the bearing surface of their
wings.
The stork, for instance, can fly
magnifcently. On its annual mi
grafton it covers two to three thou
! sand miles and will cross the Med.
lterranean with the greatest ease
Now, the stork weighs eight times
as much as the pigeon, yet in pro
portion to its weight has only halt
as much wing surface.
But bird of prey must be able
to do much more than support it.
own weight in the air. 1t has to
lift its kill from the ground and
carry it perhaps many miles up into
the mountains.
What such bird is capable OF
may be realized when it is said that
an eagle weighing about eight
pounds has been seen to pick ny
and carry off young pig weighing
more than double as much as itself
And there are many cases on record
OF eagles having carried off children
weighing with their clothes over q
stone.-Pearson's Weekly.
