The black oxen employed to draw
the funeral car of the late Mikado are
OF a select genius which for centuries
has been employed solely for the use
Of the japanese imperial family. No
other race of draught animals can
show such a record of exclusiveness.
The cream-colored horses reserved for
our own royal family run them close,
but some of these had once to wear
the yoke of foreign ruler. When
Napoleon occupied Hanover he seized
all the cream-colored horses in the

SPEED OF SOUND.
An Easy Method of Judging the Dis.
tance II Travels.


There is an old saying that if you
can count five between the flash and
the thunder you are safe. Modern
science tells us that if you can see the
fash ut all you are safe, because If it
struck you you would have no time to
see it. The speed of lightning is about
$50 times that of sight.
The old idea was that if you could
count five the storm was a mile away,
which was considered safe distance.
Sound travels at the rate of 1,142 feet
q second, or about a mile in five sec
onds. In order to count seconds ac-
curately many photographers start by
saying to themselves: mo one thou
sand, one one thousand, two one thou
sand, three one thousand" etc. This
gives about the right space between
each count of one, two, three, etc, il
you stop at the number of seconds you
want to time. With little practice
with a watch beside you this is ac-
curate up to half a minute or more.
If you see a steam whistle blowing
and note the instant it stops you can
count the seconds until you lose the
sound, and by allowing a fifth of
mile for each second you can judge the
distance. The same is true of guns,
or an explosion, or even of hammering
or any loud sounds.-New York Press.

Diseases of Metals,

Metals suffer from contagious dis
eases analogous to those of living be

most striking is that called ''tin pest"

ifests itself by spontaneous recrys-
tallization. The most remarkable cases
occur with lead and hard drawn brass.
These diseases are not due, as has
been thought, simply to moisture.
Temperature plays a part In producing
them. The most extraordinary fact
perhaps is that the ''tin pest" is capa-
bic of spreading by contagion.-Har-

Meerschaum mines in Nemlau have

ed, and the process is simple The
mines, which at one time reached from
Kabe to Mihalitch, on the sea of Mar.
oma, are concentrated around the city
of EskiSehr, and give employment to
some 5000 miners. The mines are
worked in the most primitive manner
by foreman and two to five work
men with picks. The depths of the
pits vary greatly, and depend upon the
depths at which a reddish-brown earth
is met, which is the first indication OF
the existence of magnesite. Sometimes
this red earth is found only a few
yards beneath the surface, but or
dinarily at a depth of twenty yards,
often forty, and even sixty. In this
layer of red earth meerschaum is
found, disseminated in nuggets of ir-
regular shape. The size of these rare
ly exceeds twelve to sixteen cubic
inches, the greater part are the size
of walnut. No explosives are usei,
the ground being soft. Almost the en-
tire output is exported to Vienna, and
thence distributed to the various Euro
pean countries and to the United
States, the latter buying only the fin

STRANGER IN DISTRESS
Widow Samples Patient Proved
to Be a Friend Indeed.
BY CLYDE JOHNSON.

The breakfast dishes had not yet
been cleared away. and yet the
Widow Sample sat on the back porch
with her hands clasped over one
knee and a thoughtful look on her
face. She was a woman past forty,
and owned and ran her little farm.
A matter had been bothering her
for a long, long time, and she was
trying to find a way out.
Three years before, when Uncle Abb
ner Gates, widower, had met with an
accident to his wagon while driving
to the village, and had called at her
house to borrow tools to make repairs,
she had thought well of him and be-
lieved he had Of her. A week later
he had come back to see IL she had
any hay to SELL and she smiled and
blushed as she realized that it was a
mere excuse. She knew that he had
tons and tons of 1t in his barns.
The third time Uncle Abner called
he brought some Paris green to kill
off 'tater bugs. He did more. He
went out to the patch and sprinkled
the stuff over hundred hills, and
when the widow chided him for being
SO neighborly he replied:
Pooh! Pooh! Hain't we been put
into this world to help each other?
I've allus thought a widder woman
had a mighty hard time of it."
YES" with a sigh.
Their barns are allus bein' struck

"Yes."

"They do"

"Yes. sir, a widder woman has a
mighty hard time of 1t, and ] don't
care who hears me say 30. That
is"
There followed a pause long enough
to have enabled the calf to run six
times around the hog-pen, and then
Uncle Abner finished.

MARRIAGE BY PROXY.
This Curious Ceremony Is a Purely
Dutch Institution.

This Curious Ceremony Is a Purely
Dutch Institution.
Some time ago Boer in Pretoria
was married to girl In Amsterdam. in
Holland, the ceremony constituting
what the Dutch call handschoen, or
glove marriage.
In spite of the fact that distance OF
5000 miles lay between the bride in
the Netherlands and the bridegroom
in the Transvaal they were just as ef-
fectually married under the Dutch law
as if both had been present in the
same church.
The bridegroom sent to his friend, or
best man, in Amsterdam power of
attorney to represent him as his proxy
at the ceremony and at the same time
forwarded his glove, which at the
proper moment, when the two were
made one, was held By both the bride
and the proxy.
The wedding was duly registered at
Amsterdam and at Pretoria, where the
bridegroom filed an affidavit with the
landdrost, or magistrate.
This curious form of marriage is a
purely Dutch institution. the custom
having originated, it is said, in the old
times of Dutch-Batavian rule. 1t is,
however, a dead letter in the Traus-
vaal since the English took over that
c0lOny.-New York Press

breathed, though she knew that her
door was locked, that she was sup

and angry enough so that she could
leave them without a word and slip
on to marry man-any man-but
least of all one like Henry Main,
whom they had done their best to
keep away from her. They told her
she was too young to know. Worse
than that, they wanted her to marry
Max Just because she had been en-,
gagged to him before Henry came into
the neighborhood for his summers
vacation.
At thought of Max she rose.

and put on her hat. Max had gone
too far when he ordered her abso-
autely not to speak to the other man.
She did not like jealousy. He would
see now that he had made mistake.

no, even then she could not have

down the back stairs to the kitchen
and out into the yard.
There was no moon, and Drusilla,

aield to the bit of wood where he
would be waiting for her. Max was

Now the logical conclusion to such
a conversation as the above is plain
to a blind man. The ground had
been plowed and narrowed and
dragged ready for the crop. The
Widow Sample had a perfect right
to look for the logical result, but II
didn't come. Uncle Abner had the
same right, but just at the critical
moment he went to pieces like an old
barrel being rolled down hill. Two
minutes later he was in his wagon
driving off and saying to himself:
"Abner Gates. you are a dumb old
fraud and orter to be fed on frostbit.

Widder Sample wants you, but you
haint got the grit of grounding to

Uncle Abner came back again and
again. He always led the conver.
sation around to unhappy widows and
how they might find happiness by an
other marriage, and in this he was
assisted more or less by the widow,
but always and ever he lost his cour-
age at the critical moment and drove
away calling himself all kinds OF
hard names.

Beauty, the mare, thrust out her head
and whiunied softly for attention.
Drusie stopped a moment to lay her
face against the kindly old creature,
and then passed through the orchard,
trembling at every step, wondering
whether in the morning her mother
would cry, or whether she would just
look gray and old as she had done
when she saw that her daughter was
dismissing Max.
AS she came to the bit Of pasture

her to see any one she liked?

city, and even now no one was sup
posed to know that he was driving
over for her from neighboring town,
from which they would later take q
night train. She was glad she had
not met Max.
Once safe in the trees she gave a
little low call like a quail and waited
for an answer; but receiving none,
