Famous BRIDGE Builder.

Gustav Lindenthal, who is building
the He'll Gate bridge at New York,
the greatest structure of the kind in
the world, which will have length of
three and one-half miles, is an Aus
trian by birth. He received his tech
nical education at Brunn and Vienna,
and before coming to this country in
1874 he had had considerable practical
experience in railroad building. His
first work in the United States was
as an assistant engineer on the force
constructing the Centennial exhibition
buildings. He became a citizen and
took up railroad building. Some of the
greatest bridges which he has built
span the Allegheny and Monongahela
rivers, though he has also spanned the
Mississippi and other streams. Though
famed as a bridge builder he prefers
TO be known as a man who has had
more to do with laying out railroad
routes,

MAY MEAN END OF ALL WAR /
Development Of Destructive Airship
Sure to Have Powerful Effect on
Humanity.

The difficulty of properly arming
and protecting aircraft lies in the
fact that we cannot yet obtain suf-
ficiently powerful engines even
though, in the course of few years,
the engines have increased in horse
power from about fifty to two hun
dred. says Claude Grahame-White in
the Youths Companion. But when
we look ahead, and estimate what
may be possible with power plant,
not of hundreds of horse power, but
of thousands, then we can imagine
a perfected war machine, of the fu-
ture-a huge armored craft, that car
ries crew of hundreds of men, and
that is equipped with formidable guns
and aerial torpedo and bomb-drOpping
tubes. Such a vessel will be able to
reef its wing surface when travelling
at high speed, and will rush through
the air as a speed of several hundred
miles an hour.
But even against such metal-built
monsters of the air, flying at their
amazing speeds, man will pit his in
genuity. 1t is clear that he cannot
fight them from the earth he must
fight them high in their own element.
So in the future, if wars continue,
we may have fearful struggles of the
air--not small and isolated combats,
such as this campaign has shown US,
but battles desperately waged, with
death and destruction raining from
the clouds. There are those, how
ever, who argue that such form
of war, when pushed to it's ruthless
limit, will prove so CHASTITY that hui
mainly will revolt, and that the sci
ence that revolutionizes war will also
end 1t.

How Labor Cost Comes In.

Labor plays a larger part in the
conditions faced by the dress goods
selling agents than perhaps they are
aware. Some years back the mills
had no difficulty in selling cotton
worsteds in large quantities to the
cutters-up. With increasing labor
costs, however, the garment manu-
facturers find that it does not pay
them TO put what is high-priced work
manship into low-quality goods. The
results obtained, no matter how pro-
duction is speeded up, are not salts
factory. The demand has therefore
shifted toward better fabrics that give
a larger return in the manufactured
state. This goes long way toward
explaining the shifting of values up
ward and why it is no longer possible
to sell the amount of cheap goods that
was disposed of in past years with
little difficulty.

Florence Niqhtingale's Statue.

1.-The Lady With the Lamp" statue
of Florence Nightingale, has been I'M
yelled without ceremonial in Water
loo place, London. The statue stands
high on red and gray granite pedes-
tai, and makes notable and an ap-
propriate addition to Waterloo place.
BY it's side, fully harmonizing with it
in general outline, is that of Sidney
Herbert. The effective background
for both is the Crimean memorial. The
sculptor portrayed his subject in a
sympathetic pose, standing in the vo'
luminous skirt Of the early Victorian
period, with the lamp borne in the
right hand This statue of "The Lady
With the Lamp" is the first public
statue of a woman in London other
than those of royal ladies.

Uses Bat to Best Burglar.

A baseball bat was used by John
Kearney of West Philadelphia, to sub
due a burglar who attacked him in the
cellar of his home. After pummeling
the intruder until he howled for mercy
Kearney turned him over to the po-
lice.
Kearney awakened before daylight
and smelled gas. After careful daylight
examination of the rooms of the first
floor, he made his way to the cellar.
At the bottom of the stairs man
jumped on Kearney's shoulders and a
struggle followed. Jars of raspberry
jam, tomatoes, pickles, and other pre-
serves were smashed during the COM
bat. At last one of Kearney's hands
closed on a baseball bat as the two
men rolled about the floor.
Wrenching himself loose, he swung
the bat against the burglars head and
repeated the operation until the man
cried enough"

Sanity and Insanity.

DR.. Stephen Smith, now ninety-two
years old, has been one of the fore
most public-spirited physicians of
New York He has a theory of the
insane, set forth in an interview the
other day, which merits attention.
Cornell, when governor of New York,
made Doctor Smith commissioner in
lunacy, telling him that many people
believed persons were kept in asy-
lums by their enemies when they
were not really insane, and charging
Doctor Smith to find out what there
was to it. The painstaking physician
accordingly talked privately with 49,
600 lunatics, coming to the conclu-
sion then, and holding it ever since,
that 80 per cent of them might as
we'll be out of asylums and sanatori-
ums as in them, if somebody would
only take suitable care of them. He
cured many merely by interesting
them in congenial work. He also no
ticed that when he left the asylums
and began to converse with people
outside they told him stories very
much akin to those that he had just
heard from the presumed lunatics.-

FOUGHT HIS OWN BATTLES
Such Progress as Man Has Made He
Has LaboriousIy Carved Out
for Himself.

1t has become a bromidian COM
mon-place to say that man can do ev-
erything he has to, supply each need
he feels and meet every emergency
that arises with some expedient or
Yankee trick. And there is some war
rant for such boastfulness, for every
thing that man enjoys or employs he
has made for himself out of such raw
material as he found to hand. All
that he knows he has learned for him
SELF No one ever gave him any In
formation Of the slightest value which
contributed to his material welfare or
the comfort of his life. The lower
animals furnished him certain hints.
Some of them burrowed to escape the
cold, climbed trees to elude their enc
mics, lined their abodes with moss and
floss for warmth and laid up food
against the season of snow. But all
that man is and has he made himself
All that he does he found the way OF
doing. He was an orphan child, ig-
norant of every branch of useful
knowledge, set adrift in a trying en-
vironment to perish or provide for
himself as best he could. If anybody
deserves an iron cross or other hon
orary decoration, 1t is man-resolute,
resourceful, self-reliant homo sapiens
for he is self-made and has done
very creditable job of it, considering
that he had to battle with his environ
ment for everything worth while.

CHANGES WROUGHT BY WAR
"Tommy Atkins" Of Today Is Differ
ent Being From His Prototype Of
Few Years Ago.

The old pouter-pigeon type of Brit
ish soldier, with his ramrod deport-
ment and feet at impossible angles,
is now as obsolete as his red coat
This change is evident, not only in
the training of the new army, but in
the royal cadet schools at Sandhurst
and Woolwich. Alertness and agility
mental and physical, are now aimed
for instead of physical rightly and
mechanical precision as in the old
times
Swedish exercises have taken the
place of conventional calisthenics
About the only piece Of apparatus left
in the Sandhurst gymnasium is the
padded horse. Parallel bars, rings,
heavy dumb-bells and pulley exercises
have been sent away. Now the ca
diets are taught what is known in
their slang as monkey tricks, such
as walking on top of high and narrow
stone walls and jumping safely to the
ground, skipping the rope and playing
various kinds of games.
One reason why the pouter chest
has gone out Of style is its menace to
health. An overdeveloped chest is
held to be dangerous, as it invites
pneumonia and other troubles. Men
on the march are allowed to unbutton
their coats and make themselves COM

NEW METHODS IN WHALING
oId-Fashioned Harpoon Has Been Dis
carded for the Most Modern OF
Deadly Weapons.

In early days the wooden sailing
ships engaged in the whaling indus
try in southern seas pursued only
right whales and sperm whales, or
cachalots. The so-called "finners,
such as the blue whale, the largest
animal in the world; the finer whale;
the small fish whale; and the hump
back, were all too active, and sank too
quickly when killed. But their turn
has now come, for the modern whale
gun is a finely fashioned cannon, the
harpoon carries a shell, and the body
of the whale is kept afloat by initiating
it with air through pipes from the
engine room Of the whaler. The rem
dering is now done in factory on
shore, or in a special large vessel
moored in the harbor. Besides the
whalebone, which no longer pays well
or at all, and the oil, which is graded
into qualities as it comes from the
blubber, the fat of the tongue and kid.
neys, the flesh and bones and the
refuse, there remain the dried flesh
and bones, which are now also put to
commercial use. The absolutely fresh
flesh is used to make whale-meat meal,
a nutritious and wholesome foodstun
that is largely fed to cattle From
the remaining flesh and about third
of the bones whale guano is made, and
from the bones alone bone meal. The
largest whaling business in the world
is now conducted In the Falkland Is.
lands and their dependencies. The
season begins in November, and lasts
until the end Of April, and the aver
age production of oil is nearly half a
million barrels; of guano, 1875 tons.
The industry gives employment to
about $500 men.-Youth's Companion.

FIRST OF LlFE'S LESSONS
Finding and Filling Ones Place Per-
haps the Most Essential OF All
That We Learn.

To find our niche and fill it Is, per-
haps. the most essential of all life's
lessons. 1t sums up in a word not
only our duty to ourselves but to
others as we'll and embraces much
more than at first glance seems pos
sible. It is a lesson that is assigned
to us from the beginning, sometimes
long before our immature minds can
grasp its full meaning, but 1t is one
that lies ready at hand for our as
sanitation the moment we show evil
dence of our ability to take it in. OF
course there are many persons who
shrink from undertaking life's respon-
sibilities, who defer until the last the
acceptance of certain duties which
must evidently come to them and
who, sometimes, enter upon these du-
ties unprepared for their proper dis
charge. It is SO easy to drift from
day to day unhampered by the knowl-
edge that there Is work for us to do;
so long as we know that there is some
one else upon whom we can depend
for our well-being, someone who
shoulders all necessary responsible
ties. someone who INDUCES our whims
and fancies and protects us as far as
possible from the necessity of assum-
ing our natural debts, we are well con-
tent to let the days pass unmarked
by any attempt on our part to discover
for ourselves the part we must play In
this world.

IN THE COSsACK COUNTRY
American Traveller Writes Of Life a.
He Saw It Among Primitive Rus
sian Tribes.

/ tramped through several hundred
miles of Cossack country last sum-
mer, and / have a very bright inn
preston of the people. They have a
considerable quantity of land. The
government pursues q set policy OF
giving the Cossacks land, space
wherein to live we'll and multiply.
The whole of Central Asia and Tur-
kestan is preferably settled by Cos
sacks. The Russian government
trains the men for two or three years
and when the time of training has
been run through the authorities pro-
pose to them that they settle down
near the place where they have been
ensamped. Land will be given them
free. They can bring their sweet
hearts and their wives. The docile
Kirghiz and Chinese and other abo-
rhymes can be practically forced to
build houses for them and dig out
irrigation canals and plant poplars
and willows. A company of Cossacks
accepts the government proposal, and
so new station is marked on the
map. A church is built. A horizontal
bar and a wooden horse and greasy
pole are put up. A vodka shop is
supplied. And that constitutes Co.'S
sack civilization. (Now the vodka
shops are all closed, and there is talk
of reopening them as schools.)
The talk and the songs and the life
of the station are all military. The
talk is Of battles lately and battles
long ago, and the battles Of the fu-
ture; the songs are recruiting songs
and war songs; the life is ever with
the gun on horse Ora

Better Kind of Dishpan.

At last a man has invented better
kind of dishpan, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. How very long we have used
either a high, round pan or low oval
one, neither of which was the shape or
size of the sink. But we have now a
vast ovement-namely square
dishpan made of very heavy retinned
ware. 1t is much more like the shape
of the sink, and, in addition, has the
peculiar feature of little plug at the
bottom with piece of wire netting SO
that the plug need only be drawn out
when the dishwater needs to be
changed. In this way, the water is
strained and food particles prevented
from going down the sink.

six lemons are squeezed into the bath,

RAPID PROGRESS OF SURGERY
Operations That Would Have Been
Remarkable Years Ago Now
Matter Of Course.

War will lose half it's terrors If sur
gerry continues to make the rapid
progress of the past few years, for
arms and legs will be replaced BY

London Answers.
A millionaire lost an ear In an &C
cident, and offered $4,000 to anyone
who would supply the missing article.
A man agreed the patients were
placed side by side for II days, which
completed the grating process.
In another case whole finger ID
said to have been transferred from
one woman to another, the hands be-
ing bound together for % days. The
fee was $500, but the new finger was
somewhat shorter than the original
member.
America is the home of remarkable
surgical operations, and it was at st.
Johns hospital, New York, that
man, whose face had been badly in
tured in machinery, was supplied with
new nose and mouth, both quite
serviceable. The operation was
lengthy one; grated muscles and skin
formed the mouth, and by careful and
skillful operations the little finger
replaced the nose.
British surgeons can be quite as
clever when necessity arises. A man
was badly wounded in South Africa,
and lost most of his ribs, which were
replaced by steel Jacket which al
lowed him to do light work. Then
London HOSPITAL took him in hand
and provided him with set OF silver
ribs.
A small boy had what amounted to
q hole in his skull, caused by fall
when very young. The London sur
geons replaced this by piece OF
his shin bone, and the operation
proved successful.
Wounds from bullets and knives IN
hearts have been sewn up; weak
aorta was strengthened by a silver
spring being placed in it at the weak
point; a pigs eyelid replaced one
which had been removed; broken
back has been set; and the story goes
that blind man was made to see by

SOME OTHER MANS PARCEL
Commuter Made Profitable Exchange,
but Probably Man Who Got the
Cat Was Peeved.

A man once lived in Montclair, N.
j., whose wife had pet cat. On a
wintry day the cat died. So wintry
was the day that the cat could not be
buried, for the ground was frozen
hard.
To get rid of the body the man de-
termined to bring it with him when
he went to New York to business. So
he wrapped it up neatly in brown pa
per, and, on getting into his train, put
It gently on the hatrack, with the hrm
intention of forgetting all about It.
When he reached the terminus ne
walked rapidly out of the train, but
was barely on the platform when a.
kindly old gentleman overlook him.
Your parcel, / think. sir, said he
pleasantly, and the man from Mont
clair thanked him most politely.
All day long the parcel containing
the dead cat lay in his office. In the
evening he took it home, placing IL
again in the hatrack and again care
fully forgetting it. But again a fellow
passenger warned him of his careless
ness. Finally he reached home In a
not very pleasant frame of mind, ano
flung the irksome parcel on the kftch-
en- table.
Later on the wife entered the kitch-
en-. The parcel aroused her curiosity,
for her husband had said nothing
about his failure to bury the cat. She
opened it, and discovered three ten
derloin steaks!
