Were They Bones of Wrtclt Victims^' The one great industry of this place eand trade of the neighboring towns,'sa^S' the Hazelton Herald. The sand is procured from a big sandbar in the middle of White river, and is got out by means of a heavy iron dipper, suspended from a wire that crosses the river. This has pulled trees up and out 6f the bottom of the river. But the latest sensation is the finding of bones 'in sand sent to Princeton. The sand was being put through a sifter when one large and one small bone were found. There is no telling but that the bones of some poor victim of the late wreck are being shipped in sections to different places.

NEUKOM WAS FINED.

Druggist Soaked for His Assault Upon the /North, Fifth., Street Grocer.

Squire Bennett, after hearing the pros and cons in the'ca&e against Albert Neukom, the ex-druggist, decided that he was amenable to the statutes to the amount of $10 and trimmings, and so entered bis dictum on the records.

The cohtroversy between Neukom and Oliver began about & property which the latter had erected in the new addition north of the orphans' home. Neukom had bought two lots from 61I^er."and in the deed of sale was a stipulation that' no house should be erected on either of the lots which would cost less than $1,500. Neukom built a residence costing more'than the limit, and the next building •to be erected was a small cottage by Cliver. Thts cottage, which cost about $400, was built near the Neukom property. Neukom's house is, on Home avenue, and the Cliver building on another street. Neukom claimed Oliver should have built as fine a house as himself, and words came to pass between the men, which were followed by a hit between the eyes of the latter.

Cliver claims that the stipulation as to the cost of houses does not obtain on the street which his cottage stands on, but oniy goes on Home' avenue. The two principals had some hot words at the trial.

JOHN DUG AN WAS ANGRY.

And He Wanted to Carve Contractor Forbes With a Hatchet. Had EJt Patrolman Lintz chanced to walk Into South Tenth street yesterday afternoon tnd take a hatchet away from John Dugan, in old man, it Is altogether likely Contractor Forbes, of the firm of Pratt & Forbes, would have been badly injured, if not killed. Dujan was out on the sidewalk hatchet in hand and threatened to kill the first man who dared stick a pick into his brick sidewalk. The trouble grew out of the fact that a short time ago the common council ordered South Tenth street paved with concrete. Several months ago the sidewalks were ordered paved with brick or concrete. This first order was recalled almost immediately, but not before Dugan had began putting in brick. He completed his sidewalk with ferlck and when the new order of the council was made known he made serious objection to taking it up again.

The contractors went down his place

c. "i

yesterday afternoon and prepared to "Carry out the wishes of the council and put in concrete. This Mr, Dugan did not propose to have them to do and to show that he'didn't he brought .ou tan old but very sharp hatchet and gave it out loud and sonorous that he would kill the first workman that attempted to tear up a brick. The police were notified and Officer Lintz went to the scene of trouble. He caught Mr. Dugan by the arm, but the old man called his wife and put up a fight. Mrs. Dugan came out and caught Uie policeman about the body and tried to hold him. As Dugan had the hatchet and was making a violent struggle to use it on some one Lintz gave him a jerk and pulled him to the sidewalk. The hatchet was taken from him by a bystander and then the officer devoted his time to quieting Mrs. Dugail. The old man was hurt by being jerked to the sidewalk and was sent to the police station. Here he was charged with drawing deadly weapons.

MET OBLIGING STRANGER.

Innocent Old Lady Congratulates Herself on the Event.

He is a son to be proud of, and she a handsome old lady, with much self-reliance. After weeks of arrangement and discussion she was to visit a daughter in another state, making the trip alonie, says the Detroit Free Press. The son had protested against the venture as more than she should undertake, but his solicitude met with rather a chilly reception. "Don't treat me as though I were a child," objected the old lady. "I traveled before you were born, and have more confidence in myself than I would have in any one you might send along. If not permitted to look after myself, I would prefer to remain at home. I'll not go about creating the impression that I require a guardian,"

This left no Toom for argument, and after giving her careful Instructions as to how she must proceed from one end of the route to the other, the son said: "Now, here is your transportation. The conductor will tear off what is necessary, and Just as soon as you reach sister's put the mileage that is left right into this envelope and mail it to me. I want to use it as soon as it is available."

The mother demurred at such explicit Instructions. She knew just what was to be done and she would attend to it without the aid of written forms or a diagram. She made the journey, her safe arrival being reported by the daughter. For two weeks the son waited patiently for what was left of that mileage book and then wrote about it. "I told you," came the answer, "that I learned to travel long before you did. Tt is well that such is the case. On the train I met one of the most entertaining and helpful men I ever knew. He was of great assistance to me, and when he saw my* transportation he told me as gently as pos£i\fte that it would be worth nothing to you after I had used a portion of it. But he is connected with the company and would give bie $5 for it. Of course I thanked him Heartily and accepted his generous offer, ii'ou should know what you are about hereafter, especially when you undertake to advise those older than yourself."

The good son simply sat down and indulged in miental profanity. He was out $10, with no chance for getting even.

CORRECT NAMES IN ALASKA.

The Geographical Board's Decision—Says Dyea Should Be Taiya.

Washington, Oct. 10.—The United States board on geographical names which meets here at stated intervals, has just rendered decisions determining the Spelling of 149 of these names. These include a number in Alaska significant at this time in view of the Klondike excitement. Many variations of nomenclature for the same place are encountered and the board's action determines the uniform usage. Following is a summary of action taken relating to places conspicuously mentioned' in the gold stories:

As to Klondike, the decision is to spell it as here given, and not Clondyke, Klondyke, ChaDdyke, or Deer, Reindeer, Throndike, nor Thron Diuck. One of the lakes of the upper Yukon was named Lebarge by t£e Western Union telegraph expedition In ilftjjjB, after Mike Lebarge,. a member of the ie^ploring party .who is. now living someiwhflre near Ottawa,- Outs. Late publications have-fallen into the error of spelling this jL.^rge, but the board adheres to the orjigflpAl for Lebarge. There is a Lebarge river ii^ryAlaeka.

When Schwatka descended the Yukon in 1883 he named one of the lakes on its headwaters Lindeman, after Dr. Moritz Lindeman, now vice president,of the Bremen Geographical Society. This sometimes appears erroneously as Lindemann and Linderm&n. The board adopts Lindeman.

One of the principal tributaries of the upper Yukon is the Lewes river, named tyv Robert Campbell of the Hudson Bay Co. about 1848. This is often miscalled Lewis.

The inlet, river and village at the head of Lynn canal, which now appears in the newspapers almost daily utider the form of Dyea, the starting point for the. overland route, is an Indian word which has appeared in many forms. Admiral Meade, in 18ft!), wrote it Tyya Krause, in 1882, wrote it Dejah: Schwatka, in 1883, Dayay Call, in 1883, Taiya. The board adopts the form Taiya.

For the lake and river variously called Hootalinqua or Hotalings, or Teslin-Hiria or Teslin-Too or Teslin, the board adopts Teslin. The terminations Hina and Too are said to mean river in different Indian dialects.

An Indian village on the middle Yukon is called Nuklukayel. This has been written in several forms, including the erroneous one, Tuklukyet.

George Seber HAD Skipped.

There area dozen or more people in the west part of the city who would like to know just exactly where George Seber is to be found. Seber, until Sunday night, was manager, head dishwasher and, in short, the main squeeze at the restaurant, 210 Main street. The restaurant until a short time ago was run by Roily Rayburn. Dr. J. C. Casto, the druggist, owns it. There was some misunderstanding between Casto and Rayburn, and the latter stepped down and out. Dr. Casto installed Seber behind the counter, and now Seber is gone. It is said he left the restaurant Sunday night, took a hack and drove to the Union station, where he took a train for Louisville. He left a number of unpaid bills, and it is believed made away with some money belonging to Dr. Casto.

UNFADING COTTOH DYES.

Special Fast Diamond Dyes For Cotton. That Will Not Wash Oat With Soap or Fade in the Sunlight.

It is absolutely impossible to get a fast and satisfactory color on cotton from the same dyes as used for woolen goods, and for that reason Diamond Dyea have a specially prepared line of fast colors for cotton that will give perfect satisfaction. Be sure to get the fast cotton dyes, and you can make colors that) even washing in strong soapsuds and exposure to the sunlight will not fade.

Do not risk spoiling your goods with dyes that claim to color both cotton and wool with the same dye, as they are liable to ruin your material and cause the loss of your time and work. Some dealers try to sell new *ud untried dyes in place of the old relable Diamond Dyes, but this is simply because they can buy them cheaper than the Diamond.

FfiOM THE "VISITOR*

BIG PIECE OF STEEL TAKBST FBOM aii#HE VESSEL'S HULL 8DN0AV.

It Is Believed the Machinery Is Yeton the Old Boat—Story of tM ,V--jTv Pilot Boy. f' -yx si

Since The Express made mention of the factthat the boat had been found there has been a good deal of speculation as to the d^^ jwhen the steamer went down. Until yesterday it has been generally believed that the (-Visitor was sunk in 1842. However, •George' N Wyeth now comes to the front with the statement that he was a pilot boy on the boat and was aboard of her when she collided with the Hiram Powers. Mr. Wyeth declared the collision occurred in 1852. Mr, Wyeth resides at First and Oak streets and in giving his story about the Visitor said: "I was cabin boy on the steamer VisHnr at the time she was sunk on the Wabash, and well remember that time. I was about 12 years old and had b.*en on the boat about three months. The boat was a small one and used to make trips from New Orleans as far up as trade and witer would permit. It was after dark and e&*l/ in ttc spring of 1852 when that memorable' event to me occurred. The boat had atkrte-'i from Eugene, about fifty miles UP the ?'iVer$ with a cargo of lard and pork. There Was a large pork house at that pi ice at" th*j time and I think that it wa3 owned ."by a man by the name of Van Dyke. The? boat was loaded to the guards and the trip'wad made at the first rise of the river, pilot'? name was John Bellwood, a t-*usin of mine, and who resided at Cincinnati, o-In those days'he was a well known rive? man and had been a pilot for many year*. After leaving Eugene the boat took the right side of the river and was on that side when the collision with the Hiram Powers occurred. The latter earned uoat fas on the left side, and as the Visitor was on the right side and would not change her course, and ob the Hiram Powers would nut steer to the proper side, the '.'ollision followed. After being struck the Visitor wer.t. down the river about a hundred yards anl sunk, where the remains have recently fcund. The Hiram Powers was a new boat and was about the same size is the Visitor, but the latter being quite old it.wn iturdlly the case that it should receive all the damage. The collision was "head on,'" or in the words 6f the railroad, head off 1" Thp water being quite low at 'his 'i»irit,' however, the damaged boat did not go completely under water. The JorVrird end went entirely under, but the .tern remained partly out of the water. As the bow of the boat was pointed up stream when discovered a few days ago it has been stated that the boat was going up stream wnen struck Ly the Hiram Powers. "this is not the case, however. When the collision came, the boat, as has been the case in the collision of other steamers, turned completely around with her bow turned up stream, and then sunk. The Hiram Powers received but very little damage and after the collision, about sixteen or eighteen of the crew ot the Visitor, including, Mr. Wyeth, boarded the latter boat and were brought to this city at which place they arrived about 8 o'clock In the evening.

TERRE HAUTE EXRESSS. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12. 1891

A-

Last Friday when a reporter fof .Tie Express made a trip down the rivet® to take a look at the hull of the steamer Visitor, Edward Palmer, who has a fist in* CjMnp a few yards from *he sunken tuft, gave it as his opinion that the macVnery of the old boat was' yet in the hold and could be easily taken out. John Voig&t was of the same '^Opinion. Sunday several hundred people went to the scene of the wreak end they carried away pieces o! the ol:l wreck.

One of the visitors to the wreck Sunday was Robert Cratg, a Are department substitute. Mr. Craig wai not satisfied with taking a piece of the rotten timber. He brought a shovel with him and shoveled some of the sand out of the hull. His efforts were rewarded, for very soon he uncovered a large piece of iron. The plate was in the shape of a heart with a large hole in the center. Around this hole were several smaller holes, showing that at one time the plate had been bolted to something. The piece was taken to fire headquarters. Some people say the plate was from the pump, but others declare it was attached to the cylinder.

FA

pkrt of

the deck hands, probably six o^ eight remained on the steamer Visitor. Where they went "or what ever become of them I could not say, for I never saw one of tHem afterwards. At that time there was a man by the name of Walding living in a log cabin near where the boat had sunk. He Verpnoved a part of the boat, Including the, c^Bin, to where he lived, making it a part .of his house, and he lived in it for manjr -years afterwards. "The Visitor was not the largest boat that was to be found on the river, either at that time or since that time. The'White Rose was the largest at that time, and I think that it was the largest boat that has ever plied the Wabash river, At least it was the largest that I have ever seen. I do not remember its exact dimensions but I think that it measured about 101 feet in the width of the deck and was probably 200 feet long. It was a large sidewheel boat. What makes me remember the sinking of the boat was the fact that after the collision occurred, I was sent back to the engine room to awaken the colored fireman. I did not khamhis name, but he always went by the nick-name of "Old Clum." He was asleep in a bunk in the engine room when I went back to awaken him. He would not believe that 'the boat was sinking and did not move until the waters had entered the room to a depth of about three feet. He then had to break down a part of the partition in order to get out."

STRUGGLE WITH A HORSE.

•Fierce Fight of H. E. Agar, His Son and His Wife. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Princeton, Ind., Oct. 11.—Henry E. Agar, a prominent merchant and treasurer of the Central Trust & Savings Co., was seriously injured' by a vicious horse on the farm of Robert Montgomery, three miles west of this city, yesterday. Mr. Agar and family were hunting paw-paws in a woods pasture. A vicious stallion saw Mr. Agar's little son and madly dashed at him, kicking the boy on the hip.

FREE BRIDGE FIGHT.

A Township Divided Over the Question of Proposed Improvement-. Sixeifcl to the IndlanaSolls Neitr4.

Clinton, Ind., Oct. 11.—The free bridge fight is now on in Clinton township. The residents of Clinton and the east Aide of the township favor the appropriation,^ wbHe those in the western part bitterly oppose it. Dr. iohn H. Bogart, who owns the controlling interest in the old wagon bridge, for which tell asked, heads the anti-free bridge forces. An election to decide the question will be held October 20th. tixGovernor Matthews is aiding his friend, Dr Bogart Heated discussions are held, and on Saturday afternoon the proposed free bridge was the single topic of conversation among the crowds on the street. The advo-ct-tes of tlie free bridge say that the cool

miners will vote with them, and that this will give them a majority over the farmers, who oppose it. They say that the proposed bridge would greatly benefit the farmers jby forcing the owner of the only elevator la Clinton to Iowei1 the present prices. The town of Clinton would be benefited by receiving the trade of the farming district just across the river. The present bridge is said to be the only toll bridge in Indiana, zens of Clinton aa a stumbling block to prosperity.

HOW IT CAMB OUT.

Two Lewd Women Charged With Larceny Are Bound Over.

-Mayor Ross yesterday bound over in the sum of 300 each to appear for trial in the Circuit Court two notorious members of the demi-monde, Mary Strouse and Mattie Kintz. These are the two women who were arrested the night before and confessed to the crime of stealing money from the Lebanon high flyer, John Nellie. In default of bond the women went to jail. The two men arrested at the time for associating were in court at the time the women were committed. They are Fred Shewmaker and "Dutch" O'Dell, members of the boat house fraternity. When the women were about to be returned to the jail each turned to her lover and imprinted a loving kiss on his lips, saying good-bye in a voice which Implied they did not expect to see them again. Then they told the officer they were ready and followed him to the wagon.

It will be remembered that the Lebanon man had a sum of money stolen from his clothes while in the Strouse woman's resort on North Second street one night last week. He complained to the police and the house was pulled. The women denied all knowledge of the matter and aald the fellow was flashing some confederate bills when in their pretence, which were all he had. Nothing could be proved against him and he was sent to jail f^r dfunk and associating.

Had it not been for Mrs, Palmateer, matron of the Home for the Friendless, it is likely the guilt of the Strouse and the Kintz women would not have been discovered. (Mrs. Palmateer heard there was a fallen girl in jail who wanted to reform, and in the kindness of her heart went, accompanied by Mrs. Wyeth, to the mayor for the girl's release. That was Sunday evening at 9 o'clock. The mayor accompanied the two to the jail and the girl was released with the understanding that she would make her home at the inn until she gave evidence that her ways had changed, when other arrangements for her would be made.

Mr. Ross engaged the girl in conversation and asked her what had become of the money. The latter, whose name is Mary Gardiner, told him by degrees the whole story on the strength of which the two women of the town were arrested. Mary Strouse, who received the money, is charged with receiving stolen property, and Mattie Kintz, who purloined it, with larceny. She claims she took but $12.

FRENCH LICK HOTEL BURNED.

The Windsor Destroyed With All Its Contents. Special to the Indianapolis News.

West Baden, Ind., Oct. 11.—At 1 o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was sounded at French Lick, and in less than two hours' time the Windsor, the largest hotel and principal building there, was a mass of smouldering ruins. The fire originated in or near the bakery, and made such rapid headway that the origin and cause can only be conjectured. In the burned building were located the hotel office, clga-- and news stand, telegraph office, dining room, kitchen, cold storage, bakery, bath rooms and store rooms.' No casuallties are reported among the guests or employes.

The contents of the building was almost a total loss, but little of the furniture or fixtures being saved. The buildings left standing are the Clifton and the dancing and amusement pavilions, which escaped owing to the fact that they are detached, and located some little distance from the Windsor. The amount of insurance on th9 property could not be ascertained. The loss is estimated at $40,000. The hotel was owned by a Louisville company, and was & large frame building, three stories high.

Celebrated HI* Kirthday Anniversary. Mr. Carl Krietenstein, the veteran druggist, celebrated his 60th birthday anniversary Sunday. The celebration was held at the home of Captain Haley and was attended by the members of the two families. Mr. Krietenstein has lived In Terre Haute since 1858. He enlisted in the war in this city and is one of the old citizens. He is a past commander of the G. A. R. and today Is strong and vigorous. The celebration of his birthday was of a character to make it long to be remembered by himself and children.

Threw Kochs at the House. The' police yesterday evening sent to jail 16-year-old Hilbred Howard, a lad from Muncle. The little fellow was stoning Fred Conzman's house when Mr. Conzman came out and caught him. Mr. Conzman took him over to the No. 4 reel house and turned him over to the police. Captain Pierce sent him to jail, charging him with incorrigibility and truancy.

THE SEWIR80FPAKIS

WHAT THE VISITOR MAY SEE ON A 5 TRIP THROUGH THEM.

Or eat Tomels* With Watearwaya aad Boats, Railways sad Can—A Perfect Scbwsy System—Thrffllsg Blasts on

Signal Hon* aad Wfca* They Hssa

One of the most uxtlqne bita of sight seeing anywhere in the world may be enjoyed in Paris during the spring and summer months. It consists at nothing lees than a trip by rail and boat across the city, not through the utitots and along tho Seine, not even by balloon or flying machine overhead, bat underground, through the great sewers.

In order to visit these subterranean wonder*, you must vrrite a note to the prefect de la viSe, atfrtng for passes. The sewers are open for inspection twice a week from May 1 until Sept. 80, alwayB providing that the days fixed are perfectly clear. If the permits sent you my "good for next Friday," and on that day there should tfe clouds, no amount of American money could bribe away down.

The parties descend at the same hour, one entering by means of a stone flight of steep stairs, at the Place de la Madeleine and the other at the Place du Chatelet. The steps run down between gray stone walls and are just wide enough to admit of one person'n descending at a time.

If you make your descent at the Place de ia Madeleine, on reaching the bottom of the steps you find yourself standing on a long platform, with a wide canal in which water is running slowly past you to the right, down into darkness and distance. Looking to the left, you see a brilliantly lighted, arched stone tunnel, through which the canal runs, with a narrow stone "tow path" on each side.

Overhead you see a huge pipe, held to the center and top of the arched roof by iron hoops. It is through this pipe that Paris is supplied with all her "common" water, for in this city they have two grades of water. That in this large pipe is taken from the Seine and is used for flushing the streets, to water the gardens, to extinguish fires—in fact, for everything except cooking and drinking.

Next to the big pipe is another of about one-half its capacity, end through this is carried the pure spiring water which the people drink.

Next you will see a heavy cable made of many ropes, all oovemd, so as not to oome in oontact with each other or be damaged by dampness. By these cables aro trans-' mitted all the different forces used in the city. There are the pneumatic tubes, through which you may send a letter across the city, as "change" is sent in our retail shops. Then there are the electric wires, for messages or light, and the pipes transmitting condensed sir, which the city sells to those wishil^gjto iise it.

Glancing along the w*w4 ,ot the arch, you see numbecs at regular intervals which correspond wMh thofli of the houses in the street above and make it easy to locate any trouble and rectify it. You can, if you happen to live in any of the, streets under which you pass, see your own address at a little underground opening that corresponds to the big doorway above, where you run in and out every day.

Having gazed around and 'seen these main features of the sewer, you will be asked to take a seat in a wide, &t bottomed boat, large enough to hold 30 persons, and with your "captain" aboard, dressed in white duck, you begin your trip, drawn by four men, two on each side of the canal, who, like the captain, are dressed in wh te and are so clean that the nickel buttons on their clothing twinkle in the bright electric light.

At each strdlt crossing you can look to right and left down unending vistas of arched sewers, lighted always by huge electric reflectors.

Sometimes there are seven or eight of these boats in line going down the Rue Boyal, which is the widest sewer in Paris, and when you get out to "change oars" at the Rue de Rivoli there are sometimes as many as 200 persons on the platform.

Here you leave the boat and take your seat on a sort of hand car, which runs on rails anci spans a narrow canal, as an engine does its roadbed. The oars are clean and bright, and are fitted up with nickel. They are pushed by ft wk pit, Iftf^r men, always in spotless .fjrhitftuDy, nwenf of a long handle bar, which psojeots JOver the footpath of stone on efccb side of the canal.

At intervals alotij£ J&te JCflUtq you pass openings in the wijJV, through which comes roaring and dariftfaig iithe waste water from some huge fbontate1hrth6 street above, and at regular interval^, also, there are rays of daylight to be seen through the manholes that lead up from the sewers to the streets by means of iron brvrs driven into the stone walls.

There is a system of signaling to the men in the sewers that is thrilling to the visitor. Every little while the long blast of a horn rings out and echoes through the sewer, so that you think noisy Paris above must hear, but it does not. There are only four signals given one blast or two tells the workmen some private order, but three calls warn them that a storm is approaching the city and when there are four lone, ringing notes given it means that everybody must leave the sowers by the nearest manhole, that rain is falling as it can fall only in Paris, and that he that stays in the underground waterways will find in them his grave.

When you know tho significance of these signals, it is thrilling to hear the three blasts ring out and it must bo a thousandfold more so when tho warning to leave comes. It is because the sewers fill so rapidly, in case of rain, that visitors are allowed to descend only on clear days.

Throughout the whole trip through the sewers there is not a single sight or odor that is unpleasant—in fact, it is just the reverse from the stone arches and the dazzling lights, to the nickel buttons and the ornaments on. the men's hats, everything is clean, bright and in order, for you must know that it is only the surface drainage that passes through the sewers of Paris all house drainage is removed in quite a different way.—M. W. Lewis in Philadelphia Times.

CLEVER FRENCH POTTERS.

They Imitate the China mt All the More Vamoos Makers. Entering a china shop recently, I asked the dealer the price of a small and very beautiful piece of Delft which had attracted my eyes for weeks whenever I happened to pass the window. Knqwing it must be very expensive, I had so far resisted the temptation. Much to my surprise, the dealer named a very moderate price. "It is not Holland Delft, you know," he said. "The s«ne piece in Holland Delft would cost twice that at least." "Well, what is it then if not Holland Delftf I asked. "To be Delft it must be made in the Holland potteries." "That is no longer true," said the dealer, smiling. "Strictly speaking this is not Delft, for it was made in France. At the same time we call it Delft, and even an expert of the first order would find it diffioult to distinguish it from tho genuine article except by the mark of the pottery on the back. To all purposes, artistic and otherwise, it is Delft. Now, here is a piece of real Holland Delft, and I will wager you anything you like you cannot tell the difference."

This was true, though the potter marks were different. The dealer went ou: "Modern French potters are the clever est imitator* in the world, and of lat years it.is next to impossible to distln guish their imitations of famous Dutei, and German and even EnstHah wares from

originals «xeept by the mark* You can always depend on the marks, for the French seek to imitate, sot to defraud.

Their Industry and oieferness, bowerer, axe In a certain sense unfortunate, notwithstanding

the

excellence of their wares,

for thoy make famous glazes and patterns cheap and common and thus lessen the talue of originals. "The many potteries at Limoges and elsewhere in Franco, besides making innumerable original creations of wonderful beauty, imitate about every other well known china in the world. "Here ia the flower pattern of the Royal Dresden, for instance. The time was when great prices were charged for that Dresden Ware. The pattern was found in royal palaces and the homes of the wealthy almost exclusively. But nowadays tho Limoges potteries turn out this pattern in a thousand forms and shapes till it is becoming one of the oemmonsst on the market.

at

Mystery.

The wonders of Africa would seem to be without limit, according to the reports of J. B. & Moore, who has been viewing tome of than. Mr. Moore's objeot in visiting Africa was to study the various normal organisms that bad been found to exist in that famous but mysterious lake known to natives and Europeans as Tanganyika. Not only has Mr. Moore found all that he sought, but so muoh besides that the soologists and geologists are enthusiastlo over bis discoveries.

Mr. Moore after perilous journeying gnined sight of that lake which only six Europeans have ever looked upon, Lake Rukwa. It was only from a distance that be saw it, to be snre, but that was a good deal in itself, for only two Europeans ever reached the shore, and none has ever floated upon its waters. Of all the African lakes which are known to civilization there is none so surrounded by mystery as Rukwa. Fatality seems to attach tc it so far as Europeans are conoerned. and the natives look upon a white man who strives to reach it as a foolish mortal, bent upon suicide. Mr. Moore had much the same idea aiid gained entire satisfaction by viewing the lake in perspective.

It was in Lake Tanganyika that Mr. Moore madO blsmost remarkable discoveries and iUdidentally solved what has been a mystery, and a fearful one, to bath African and European. The tradition In that section of Africa which surrounds Tanganyika has many tales of the prowess of a gigantio fish wbioh would rush at ths piddles of a canoe, drag them from the bands of the wielders thereof, upset the canoe and by mere oontatt kill the struggling humans who were cast .into the water.

For once modern experience verified ancient tradition. Mr. Moore learned that not only did this great fish exist, bnt that it performed exaotly thoe deeds with which it was credited. The solution of the mystery is simple. The big fish is an eleotrio.one. In smaller form it is common in the South American rivers, where swimmers hold it in mortal terror. The Afrloan specimen, however, is of Brobdingnagian proportions, and darts throng^ the water at a terrific rate. The source of electricity—for electricity it certainly contains—seems to be in oells in the skin. These give forth a sufficient amount of electric fluid to stun a human being, provided the contact with the fish is at all foraible or is with any considerable portion of the snrfaoe of the body. From the great danger which is entailed by cruising about in the vicinity of such a fish, it has been found impossible to catch a specimen, and the knowledge which has been gained concerning the fish is derived from one that was cast upon the shore of the lake liy the wavestbat never cease rolling. —Chicago Times-Herald.

AN OLD DEATH WARRANT.

The Document Which Sent a Murderer to the Gallows. The following death warrant, probably the oldest document of the kind in existence in this country, was reoently discovered among the old papers in the courthouse at Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pa. The document is yellow with age, in good state of preservation, and the writing is as neat and regular as copperplate print. It reads as follows: "Cumberland County: At Court of Oyer and Terminer, held at Carlisle, for the county of Cumberland, before Francis West and William Smith, Esq'rs, Justices of the said court, and the following assistants, to wit: Thomas Wllleon, John Welsh, John Montgomery, John Agnew, Robert Miller and Jonathan Holm, on the 10th day of June, 1760, by virtue of commissioti frofaj James Hamilton, Esq., Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in-chief of the provitfee-of Pennsylvania, and coun­

Two Cents' Worth of Gaa.

In a lecture recently delivered at ths Royal Victoria hall, London, Professor Carlton J. Lambert stated that S7 cubic feet of gas, wbich is valued at 1 penny (S cents), and weighs about IH pounds, can generate about a pound of water when burned and about 19 oublo feet of carbonic acid. It can beat 80 gallons of water from 50 degrees to 110 degrees for a bath, or it can boil 8 gallons of water in good kettles and make tea for persons. It can work a one horsepower gas engine for one hour, or lift a weight of 88 tons 10 feet high, doing the work of six men for one hour. It con melt 10 pounds of iron and make a casting in 20 minutes, which ordinarily would require two boors and 80 pounds of ooke. It can braze a metal joint in two minutes, which would require 80 minutes in forge. If burned in a 6 inch flue for ventilation purposes, it can induce 80,000 cubic feet of pure air. It can give you a brilliant light (Welsbaoh Incandescent) of 50 candle power for nlns hours. It can, in a good radiating stove, comfortably warm a room 18 feet squan for an hour. It can easily cook a dinnei for eight persons.—Practical Engineer.

I have in my mind the answer of a punkah puller to an English lady, wbo encouraged him to improve his position. "Mem Sahib," he said, when be at la».i grasped her meaning, "my father pulled punkah, my grandfather pulled a punkah, all my ancestors for 4,000,000 ages pulled punkah*, sad before that the god who founded our caste pulled a punkah over Viebnn I"—Sir Grant Duff's Diary,
