Certainly they moved and the heads
seemed to rise Is If the bodies were

old kings and queens had lain In peace
for over two thousand years.
'The effect upon the boatmen was
most panicky. and even the unsuper-
stitious foreigner felt as II something
uncanny were occurring.

PLACING Of Buildino Stone.

should be so placed that 1t will be Us

This familiar rule Is not, however,
always to be depended upon and In
many cases needs to be supplemented
with other precautions. There are
three planes Of fracture known to
quarrymen. The rift" is the direction
in which stone splits most easily; the
''grain" that which Is next easiest; the
head that which offers greatest re-
s%istance. In Il paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture. the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. But in a quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
to the plane Of the rift; hence the I'm

Tn. wh;t,,t City In tn. World.

There cannot possibly be a whittier
city than Cadiz unless it be built OF
snow. The best way to approach the
port Is to take a trip on one OF the
small steamers which ply between the
ports of Morocco and Spain. As you
near the coast you see in front OF you
q white mass, which appears to be
floating upon the water, just as you
are. The first thought of a foreigner Is
that he is in sight Of an iceberg. The
white mass, glittering in the u and
rendered more dazzling by the blue sea
and sky, looks exactly like a monster
Ice mountain partly melted, so that out
lines Of castles and hill appear upon It,
but only for a second does the illusion
last, for you know there are no Ice
bergs in that part, and you are quickly
informed that you are looking at Cadiz.
No other town in the world presents
such a magic appearance.

POSTED ON HORSES.

Baltimore Jurist.

Baltimore JuriSt.
Once when Judge j. Upshur Dennis
was abroad he visited the Duke Of
Westminster's estate, Eaton Hall. In
Chester. He went unceremoniously
enough and directly to the stables. He
was told by the person who looked
after those horses Of august blood and
breeding extraordinary that they could
not be viewed except by permission In
writing Of the duke.
Judge Dennis had passed the duke
on the road going up to London. Any
way, he had no intention of asking per-
mission in writing. He leaned over
the paddock gate and looked at the
horses inside.
He saw a gray horse that attracted
him, and he remarked to the keeper Of
the place that that particular horse Qn-
dicating) must have in him a double
cross of Chanticleer. a famous race
horse that lived GOO or 800 years ago.
It was indeed true. and his remark
established all the freemasonry needed
for a day in the stable. Judge Dennis
told his guide more about the horses
than the keeper Of the stable archives
knew himself. He traced relations
here and identified crosses there.
III all the stud books in the world
were destroyed" the stable steward
told the visitor when the tour of tho
stables was completed. you, sir. could
rewrite them all from memory."-Balti.
