DYNAMO I A Story of n limtar i i Extract front the "Agony Column" of The Daily Telephone, Dec. 1, 1SSS: Dynamo Am aearcliing for yoa and intend to ' kill yon. Wlwn we come fare to face. e.t. writ, aorta or aouth. 1 will take my lawful vengeance. ic-riM. The electrical engineering works of Messrs. Bradley. Headstone & Co.. limited, were situated In Little John etreet, . Westminster. All day loiiy. from 6 a. m. to 5 p. m., you might hear the constant whir, whir of machinery, the shrill cry of the circular saw. the rattling and groaning of the belting as it flew round overhead, below and all around. All day long you might see tired men and boys bending over their latbea or vises, their faces as gray as the gray skies of Westminster, worn, weary and hopeless. It Is perhaps time that some act of parliament should get more reasonable working conditions for busy toilers, for, no matter how zealously Inclined, workers cannot thrive properly on the email amount of sleep necessarily Involved by the present hours of labor, nd the worn, haggard faces of the men show plainly bow small is tho amount of rest they enjoy as compared vith tho work performed during the day. Go any morning a Journey eastward in one of the workmen's trains and see what the meu are doinsr SJ tbey travel toward their toil. Reading? No. Smoking? No. Talking, Joking, quarreling? No. Not at all. Merely sleeping, endeavoring to catch a few moments m. re of oblivion before the day opens for them and the old task claims them once more. Surely such a lire is drudgery Indeed, and the wonder Is that the constitution is able to bear It Tor so long a time. The 0:30 a. tn. train from riarnmermith to Westminster bore its usual complement of dozing men one showery morning in April, but there was a certain m.-.ii seated In a corner of a third class carriage whose wakefulness tcuehed the abnormal. His eyes Slowed with the lurid light of excitement, his cheeks burned with suppressed fever; for John Steele was debating In his brain the details of an lnTentlon which if successful would revolutionize the world of electrical generation. The man was a genius, and he was contemplating the formation of a new dynamo machine the simplicity and economy of which would only be equaled by its enormous power of production. Nearly all the expensive elements of dynamo construction would be eliminated from his new process, and it seemed to him as he sat on the bard bench and dreamed dreams that fame and fortune were close at hand now. For six years he had tolled In the armature winding room at Messrs. Bradley, neadstone & Co.'s huge factory, taking small rest and no diversion. While his shopmates spent their evenings r.t ..!?" ' Li-ils. theaters or drinking ! ' i :.? sat rigidly at work in his t 'z'ns concentrating him self wl-ii nigh superhuman energy on the details of his Invention. And now all was completed. The last word of the specification had been traced, the last line of the working drawings penciled out. The toil of six weary years of long, arduous days and hot. feverish nights had touched Its end. Today he was to interview Mr. Philip Headstone, the Junior director f the firm, and to lay before him the details of the apparatus. A small brown paper parcel lay beside the lnTentor. The parcel contained all the data and drawings In connection with the dynamo. He stroked the package with loving hands. "Little parcel." he murmured, "you are going to bring me all that makes life worth living. Money, fame and glory all lie within you. for my dynamo shall revolutionize the world. I know it I know it I know It." He patted the parcel again and then lapsed into thoughts which brought a scarlet tinge of Joy to his pallid cheek. Toward noon the Inventor took his way to the boardroom and tapped at the door. "Come in," said a quiet, well modulated voice, and a moment later John Steele stood in the presence of the Junior director, who eyed him keenly. b, ab, f course." he remarked carelessly. "You've come to spea to me about that fancy of yours In connection with the dynamo, eh, my man?" "I hope and believe that it Is something more than a fancy, sir." replied Steele, speaking in a low. firm tone; "but you shall see for yourself." Mr. Fhilip Headstone whistled a few bars from an opera which be bad beard on the previous evening and then drew forth bis cigar case. "Fire away, my good chap," he said as he lit the weed, "but don't be longer than you can help, for I have to be in the city In an hour's time." "Ten minutes will suffice, sir, to chow you all there Is to see." "Good. Brevity Is the soul of specifications, eh? But. first of all. before I fiance-at the papers. let me bear your verbal description of your masterpiece." Stec'e did not appreciate the banterIns tone ln which the young man spoke, but naturally he could not very well criticise his employer's words. He therefore held bis peace for a moment and then proceeded to explain In a few reO chosen word the detail of bis Mfceme.
WU'S SUCCESSOR. Klatrait Trm, Who May u China's Minister Here. It is reported in Washington dipiomatle circles, says the New o:'b World's correspondent, that Kint-ast Tseng. eMest sen of the lste .Msrqnl Tseng, who was one of China's ni"si famous diplomats, is t succeed 'Vt Ting Fang as Chinese minister here. Tseng is only thirty years old. but he Is regarded as one of china's brigutes: men. He is married ami has children Much of his life has been sii:t lc Magland, where he studied at Kinj's i-i: lege, Oxfprd. On his graduation returned to China and entered the u p lomatic service. He was advanced sl rapidly that when his father died lit did not take the title of iwarquis. Itecause it meant relinquisl iu:4 his d:piomatic duties. A younger brother is now Marquis Tseng. Tseng's acquaintance v.:th Ameiicai: life Is remarkable. lie has been in New York several times. One of ibe arts he learned here was poker playing. Now Tseng is regarded as the best exponent of the great American game In all China. He has been stationed as secretary at some of the leading courts of Europe. Wu Ting Fang, the present Chinese minister, returned to the city the other niglit from his trip to Ann Arltor. Mich., where he delivered an address to the students. Mr. Wu said he had Dot received any notice of his recall to China, a step which a Peking dispatch later said had been determined upon, nor had he received any intimation that he would be asked to return. . He said he would not be surprised if such action were contemplated, as he pow has served on the mission here more than a year longer thau the customary time allowed by the foreign office at any one place viz, three years. He is simply holding over now. and his recall and the appointment of a successor would be simply In line with established practice. Mr. Wu's tenure has been very satisfactory to the administration, and it is understood that it was through representations of the officials here conveyed to the Chinese government that It was continued. When asked whether he would return to China If he were recalled, Mr. Wu replied: "Why shouldn't I? All my interests are there."
KAISER ON TRUSTS. Sajr Monaa'a Shipping Combla la m Menace to 10 u rope. M. Fierre de Sepur gives a highly interesting account in the curreut number of the Itevue de I'aris of the reception given by the kaiser on board the Ilohenzollern to a party of French tourists at Odde, says a I'aris dispatch. Although the event took place far back In July, the statements attributed to the kaiser before his guests are none the less important at this juncture. "His conversation with us," writes M. de Segur. "was chiefly about America. He evidences but slight enthusiasm for that eouutry. To him there is a menace for the future in the colossal trusts so dear to the Yankee millionaire which tend to place an industry or an international exchange in the hands of a single individual or group of individuals. " 'Suppose, he said in substance, 'that a Morgan succeeds in combining under his flag several of the oceanic lines. He loes not occupy any official position In this country outside of the influence derived from this wealth. It would therefore be impossible to treat with him if it should happen that an international incident or a foreign power were involved in tis enterprise, and neither would it be possible to have recourse to the state, which, having no part In the business, could decline any responsibility. Then to whom could one turn?' "In order to obviate this danger the kaiser foresees the necessity of forming a Kuropean customs union against the United States on similar lines to the continental blockade devised by Napoleon against England in order to safeguard the interests and assure the freedom of continental commerce at the expense of America's development, and he declared to us without circumlocution that in such an eventuality England would be forced to choose as alternative of two absolutely opposite policies either to adhere to the blockade and place herself on the side of Europe against the t. nited States or else to join the latter against the powers of the continent."

WHEN TO MARRY.
Searly All Oar Self Made Men Wedded on Small Ineomem. "Why sLanId lovers lif.r tl.e'r marriage a Oay lougerthan the tln-e v. Len, as far as we mortals can tiis-". u trie future, the prospect of a t-wun -tattle home is reasonably assured?" s:. - y rus C. Adams In Ains!e's. "It is s, useless to wait for the coming if &:Ilutut days. Their lives shouM be united, and each in his way shouid help to bring about the advent of easitr tir.u j. if they are ever to come. It i; as f iNh to wait for a larger ii:eiue tl:;iu fs really required as it Is for parents to slave and drudge that their child.-en may enjoy a degree of aa.uence Hu-y have never known. "This is the rock upon which the French nation-has split. Tbey are a frugal and a thrifty people. It is interesting to know thatwauy of the tasteful, artistie and costly products of France are made almost exclusivily for the foreign trade. Two-tuirds of the best china-ware cf .Limoges, for example, comes to the United States. A well to do Frenchwoman is likeiy to use a preparation of rice flour as a cosmetic, leaving the delicate perfum? s ttn-1 other toilet articles of Faris for in r American and British sisters, who are willing to ppend more money for such thiuss. But the rich father unfortunately conceives it to be his duty to leave his children richer than himself. If, on the other hand, he be a poor tiller of the fefcil. It Is disgraceful not to educate his son to a trade or a profession so that the family name nay have a higher place in the social scale. "This deplorable ambition f xes upon the family a burden almost too n"eat to be borne, and parents deliberately restrict the cumber of their chl!drn. In largo districts, particularly. In not thorn France, families of more than two children arc rare. Many of the young people, see:ng the hard lives their patents lead, defer their own marriage in order to better tL :." fortunes, till at last even the desire to marry is extinguished. Parents and childreu of all lands may well heed the lesson In sociology that France is now teaching. "Nearly all our self made men. leaders In the professions and in business, married young and on very moderate Incomes. Many assumed without the slightest trepidation the responsibility of supporting a wife on f 1,000 a year or less. These men usually have very pronounced views on the Inadequate knowledge of the value of money and bow to take care of It possessed by the majority of young men and women. The views of these young persons as to the amount of income upon which they may prudently marry vary, of course, according to the circumstances in which they have lived. Many an Intelligent girl who works in New York- kitchens has no doubt whatever that she and the steady, industrious fellow she intends to marry will have a comfortable home on $12 to $14 a week. "A penniless German school teacher who came to Philadelphia when a young man and who in his old age lives in New York on the rentals of apartment houses bought with $300,000 he earned slowly in manufacturing, asserted the other day that $1,000 to $1,300 a year in New York would give to young married couples of refinement a comfortable home, books, music and amusements and everything they might need for the rational enjoyment of life. This gentleman has the German Ideas of thrift. TLere Is scarcely any doubt that any man and wife gifted with his ability to disburse dollars to the very best advantage would lie able to realize his idea of comfortable married life on a small income." Warned by Ilia florae. Several years ago when residing in my native town of Scituate. Mass., our family physician. Dr. Stetson, told me an Interesting story of his intelligent horse. A short time before he was called ct midnight to visit a serious case of sickness and at once took his horse from the stable, harnessed him in groat baste and proceeded on his way. but wheu about a quarter of a mile from home he reached a hill and was just about to begin the descent when the horse suddenly stopped and Tfused t go farther. The doctor then felt sure something must be wrong and alighted from the carriage and. carefully feeling over the harness, found that in his hurry and the darkness he had omitted to buckle one side of the breeching, which would have let the carriage on io the horse as soon as he began to icsceud the hill. He at once made the recessary fastening, got into the carriage and the intelligent horse then started in double quick for the sick patient. ,.. , , Was this instinct or reasoning intelligence? Our Dumb Animals. Fraadaleat Giants. The teeth and bones of the fossil elephants found in Europe were formerly assigned to giants, and many remarkable stories were circulated regarding what was supposed to have been an extinct race of men "with teetb weighing from four to ten pounds." The last of these finds, which was believed to be the remains of a ginnt of the genus homo, was discovered during the reign of Louis XIV. and was referred to as the giant of Dauphine. These gigantic remains were diseorered by a surgeon, who stated they were inclosed In an enormous sepulcher covered with a stone slab which bore the Inscription. "Teutobochas Rex," and that In the vicinity there were also found coins and medals, all of which showed the remains to be those of a giant king of Cimbri, who fought against Marias and was slain. It was afterward proved that the surgeon discoverer of these gigantic rema'ns was as great a fraud as the man who manufactured the plaster cast known a the -Cardiff Giant."
