Flood Losses of Railroads

From the New York Evening Post.
Estimates of losses to the railroads,
caused by the floods. are necessarily
only guesswork as yet. They are put
at from $4,000, 900 to $50, 100000: and
the sum does not seem unreasonable
when one remembers the number of
bridges destroyed, the miles of track
washed away, the other physical prop
crty wiped out. besides the loss caused
by demoralization of train service de-
lays, extraordinary outlay and the fu-
ture diminution of transportation busi-
hess from the ruined districts. Now,
VIC should like to ask the physical
valuation men what place in thei- cal
cu.ations they reserve for such unfore.
seeable and enormous impairments OF
railway property. VIII they undertake
the role of an earthly Providence. and
tell the managers just what the aver
age loss will be from disasters of this,
kind over period of years? Or,
81 anting that increased capital expen-
diture warrants higher freight charges,
ould they say that the thing for the
railways to do would be to impose
higher rates at the very moment when
the people in the afflicted territory are
least able to pay them? Such ques-
tlonS go TO the heart OF the theory thal
you can exactly and scientifically de-
termine railroad rates by an exact and
scientific physical valuation of railway
property. For in the latter there are
too many variables to make the pro-
cess at all safe guide. This is vivid
ly shown just now in the blow which
the railways have received through tho
floods. But the same thing is shown
all the time in a thousand ways, less

Derivation of Word almanac"

l. rom 11I-BlIS.
The etymology of this word has been
more disputed than any other in the Eng
l!sh language, and from the opinions
expressed upon the subject, Verstegan's
has been accepted as probable, though
they cannot be the slightest doubt that
The SaXons from whom he obtains his
derivation took their term from the
Arabic. The Saxons he says, used to
engrave upon certainn squared sticks
about a foot in length or shorter or
longer as they pleased. the courses of
the incomes for the whole yeere, where
by they could alwais certainly tell when
the new incomes and changes should
happen as also their festival .daies
and such a carved stick they called an
al mon -aght; that is TO say, al-mon-
heed towit. the regard or observation
of all the incomes, and hence derived
the name almanac" One of these
squared sticks of uncertain date, is
stll1 preserved in St. Johns College,

GHOST SEENAT
LONDON TOWER
Famous Old Prison Is Said
To Be Haunted
APPEARS AS A BEAR
Spectre of Henry VIII Appears to
Henpecked Prisoner-Workman
Who Was Changed Into an
Abnormal Creature
APPEARS AS A BEAR

London, May -(Special.)- )-1f the Amer
leans who come to London this year find
time hanging heavily on their hands,
they might do worse than divert. them
selves with ghost hunting. 1t is well
known, of course, that the shade of the
famous American lawyer Judah p Ben
1amin, haunts the picturesque old temple
where, as one of the most successful
*. Cs" In the history of the English
bar, he once had chambers, and now we
have it on the authority of one of the
leading spook experts in this country
that the Tower of London, where as
many celebrities. from queens downward,
lost their heads, is haunted too, though
not by as many spectres as might have
been expected, considering the wholesale
killing that once went on there.
Thousands Visit Tower Annually
Thousands of our countrymen visit the
Temple every year-mainly to see the
grave of Oliver Goldsmith--and thousands
more explore the grim old tower with

radius will be nearly 400 miles. Com

quite as vividly apparent The horror of
the thing then came home to him in full
force. He was no longer himself. but
an abnormity, an unnamable something,
nude, brown and revolving. All sorts of
vile, unspeakable passions rose up within
him. Like some serpent just awakened
from its sleep, he bent and twisted him
self and peered around, first on one side
and then on another seeking for some
victim, some suitable object on which to
satisfy the outrageous feelings that pre-
dominated in him. Something white at
tracted his attention; it appeared to be
the recumbent form of a woman, clad in
a filmy, white costume. Chuckling gee-
fully, he instantly started towards it, and
had covered half the distance when a
loud clatter burst upon his ears and half
a dozen arms pulled him back. There
was a dull singing in his ears, the fara-
way echoes of a strange, omnious cry,
and he was himself once again"
Story of Another Spot
A story is told. too, of the spot where
the bones of the young King Edward
V. and. his brother Richard. Duke of
York. are stated to have been found in
1874
One March evening, just about twilight.
an official of the tower heard the sound
gravel, and on turning aside saw the
shadowy outlines of an enormous man,
digging furiously at the soil Much
alarmed. the official drew back, and as
he did SO the figure swung round and
faced him, when he perceived to his hor-
ror a skeleton clad in richly fashioned
garment, on the breast of which was
emblazoned the royal arms The official;
uttered an ejaculation, whereupon the
figure vanished, though the sound of the
digging continued for some seconds.
And here is a cheerful story told to the
writer of the article by an aged pension
er, well nigh 20 years ago.
II was on duty in the Beauchamp tow
err he said. Just outside the cell where
Anne Boleyn was imprisoned. l was
thinking of old Henry VIII, and wishing
I had his luck with wives, for my one
and only old missus was as ugly as New

name called, and on turning round, nearly
died with fright. Floating in mid-air,

help me, it makes me shiver, even now
to think of it-round. red and. bloated,
with loose, dribbling mouth and pro-
truding, heayy-lidded. pale-eyed, alight
with a lurid and perfectly awful glow.
Il knew the face at once, for | had
often seen it in the history books Emery

Well the affair was hushed up in the
usual way. We were all threatened with
the sack il we dare as much as breathe
a word that the tower was haunted. The
oldest thing about it is that, on my re-
turn home 1 found my missus was dead

The princess is now IN correspondence
with an American producer with 81 view
to touring the United States IN the near
future either in a three-act drama or a.
one-aet sketch. She has attracted at
tention here chiefly because of her acting
in some characteristieally morbid and
horrible Russian plays. If she stuck to
her arresting Russian dramas and fought
shy of adaptations from the French like

your side.
When Shaw Failed
Bernard Shaw was recently rehearsing
one of his plays at a London theatre
when the editor of a London paper saw
good opportunity of manufacturing some
copy at the expense of the brilliant Irish-
man. The editor had had call from
miner-poet a oot-begrmed individual,
who. after working for years in a Cum
berland pit, discovered suddenly that he
had the llnack of rhyme. The editor
wrote out letter of Introduction to
Shaw. gave II to the man. called in a re-
porter and told him to run along in the
rear and see what happened at the meet
ing of kindred spirits.
The miner presented himself at the
stage door of the theatre and sent in his
letter of Introduction. Shaw soon made
his appearance, a great tall, lanky figure
in tweeds towering above the squat
miner, who was scared half to death.
The reporter whipped out his note book
prepared to take down word for word the
brilliant conversation of the two. This is
what happened. For several moments
Shaw stood looking down at the embar-
rassed mner-poet. Then he said
Are you John SMITH"
Yes sir
And you're a poet hey?"
yes, sir
Well" said Shaw. shortly. why don't
