this week looking after the interest of
his road, which, he says, will make it

For a few minutes Wednesday night
considerable excitement and alarm
l#as occasioned on V\ hitney street by
cries of "lire" and the firing of pistols

only a polytechniotl eruption from the

A New Hotel IrIre Alarm System.
A new fire alarm system for use iu 1
hotels consists of electric bells having j
gongs of from six to ten inches to suit I
the requirements of the building. The i
gongs are mounted on a polished base,
having a box (under lock) attached for
holding two cells of dry battery and au j
automatic drop. The drops are con-
nected in series to their respective boxes
in the balls and pushes located in the
office, This fire alarm system has no
connection whatever with the working
of the annunciator, and does not in any
way.interfere with the working of the
combination return call bells located in
the rooms.
Upon pressing the fire alarm buttons
the drops in the various boxes in the
series or floors operate and close the
local circuit to their respective bells
and batteries. Each bell having its own
battery is entirely independent of any
other bell. The bells will continue to
ring until reset. Iu each hall or desig-
nated place are located small alarm
boxes containing a push button.—Elec

A Storm on tlic Coant of Chili.
In the southern part of tho desert ot
Atacama a storm occurs only at inter-
vals of many years. One of these rare
storms was experienced by only one per-
son, Mr. Joel Phillips, now of Cornwall,
bnt then a mule owner and copper ore
carrier, who lived in a rancho located
on au insulated rock fifteen feet above
the level of the bottom of a ravine in
which it was situated and distant from
the port of Pau de Azucar about twenty
miles. He had just arrived at his home
an hour before sunset when a heavy
cloud appeared overhead, causing sud-
den darkness. But he was soon aroused
from superfluous reflection by a showei
of hailstones of dangerous dimensions
and followed by a copious downpour ot
water, which continued for about eight
hours, accompanied by loud peals ol
thunder. His terror was further aroused
by the roar of flowing torrents of watci
around his lonely island home, as the
ravine, one-half mile in width, wa»
now filled to a depth of twelve feet
and rolling down cou..nuonsly tliou'
sands of huge bowlders with a pulver-
izing, rumbling noise along its bed down
to the sea on each side of iiiin.
Bewildered by the misunderstood oc-
currence and unearthly din created iu
the white foaming circle of water iusidi
ously approached within two feet of hit
dwelling, and with faint hopes that 11
would rise no higher, he ceased reflect-
ing, and after enduring hours of inde-
scribable mental agony, he fell exhaust-
ed into a stupor, dreaming of a second
deluge. From this he was bonignantly
aroused by his famished saddle horse ile- j
vouring the vegetable materials his hut \
was constructed with, the animal having j
escaped from tho stable in the ravine ti. j
the heights above and thence to his man- j
ter's home for his usual breakfast. The
storm was over, and the sun was shining
brightly, aa if nothing special had hap-
pened; tho ravine was free of water and
cleared out for another such deluge
which probably would not again happen j
for a century or two.—London Engineer.

to sing at a funeral he is paid the sum j
of one dollar for his service in it. Yes-1

funerals in the afternoon. He laughed j
beyond measure as he shouted, "Good]

and was filled with bliss over tho pros-
pect. He had not sung at a funeral foi
nearly a week, and had been disconso

husband was out of work. When the

An Anecdote of the ICinlr.
Mr. Pyne, an English engineer resi-
dent at Cabul.in the service of the emir,
tells a good story about his highness
and the Russians. Mr. Pyne is stated
to have been told it by the emir himself.
The Russian governor of Turkestan sent
to the emir saying that it was proposed
to exercise some 500 artillery and cav-
alry on the Afghan frontier, and ex-
pressing the hope that it would not give
rise to apprehensions on the part of hit
highuess. To this his highness replied
that he had no objection, because as it
happened that he was about to exercise
5,000 cavalry, artillery and infantry on
his side of the frontier at the same jilact
and there was plenty of room for both.
Tho reply to this, after thanking his
highness was that another more con
venient site had been found for the pro
posed maneuvers.—London Times.

Major Yasumasa Fukusliima, military
attache of the Japanese legation in Ber-
lin, i; about to start out on a horseback
ride from the German capital to Tokio.
Exclusive of waterways, which he will
have to travel by boat , he estimates that
he will cover about 10,000 miles. He
expects to ride six days in every seven,
and to cover about thirty to thirty-five
miles a day on the average. His trip,
with due allowance for unforeseen de-
lays, will last aliout fifteen months, and
during it he will suffer the intense cold
of two winters and the correspondingly
intense heat of a summer.
Major Yasumasa Fukusliima in his
great fur coat weighs 154 pounds: his
extra clothing, twenty-five pounds, and
hi3 arms, tools, etc., thirty-three pounds.
The total weight for his horse, there
fore, will be 212 pounds. The way ot
horse aud rider will be from Berlin to j
St. Petersburg via Warsaw and Kowno: |
from St. Petersburg to Moscow, Kasan, i
Omsk, Semipalatinsk: through Mongolia
via Kolxlo, Uljassutai, the northern part
of the Gobi desert, Kiachta to Siberia;
and from Irkutsk to Vladivostoclt, along
the road on the left bank of the Amur
and the right bank of the Ussuri. Then
he will proceed to Manchuria and
China. From Peking he will ride to
Shanghai, will sail over the Chinese se.»
to Nagasaki, and will ride thence to his
home in Tokio.—New York Sun.
A Gift Repaid.
Dr. A. Billhardt, of Sandusky, O.,
many years ago. while in Philadelphia
one evening, walking through a well
known quarter of that city, was stopped
by a pale faced gentleman who begged
piteously for assistance. His story of
wrongs and misfortune was so plausible
that the doctor handed him the amount
asked for and was on the point of con-
tinuing his walk when the stranger
stopped him again, asked his name tnd ,
address, promising that when fortune i
smiled upon him he should be well re- i
membered.
Recently, upon opening a small pack- [
age directed to him front Meilmore, n j
mining town in South America, the doc- [
tor found glistening in a downy bit of ,
cotton a brilliant scintillating with all ;
the colors of the rainbow. Inclosed 1
with the gem was a card reading:
Dr. A. Fiillhardt:
Dkau Sih—Several years airo I met you in 1
the streets of Philadelphia. 1 was starving
and c.sked you for bread: you (Java it tome.

of urent value, but nothing, i assure you, in ;
comparison to the gratiludu I feel for the kinti- ,
uess yoit extended. Bahon Ino Kossa.
That t'ue doctor was amazed goes with-
out saying, and no wonder. The gem j
weighs twenty carats and its value is
estimated at $8,000.—Cor. Chicago Inter

Burglar Proof Glass.
Under the name of wire glass a new
invention lias been brought on the uiar- :
ket in Dresden. The process of manu-
facture consists in furnishing glass iu a
hot plastic condition with a flexible
metallic layer, iron wire netting, for in-
stance, which is completely inclosed by
the vitreous substance and effectively .
protected against exterior influences, as ,
rust, etc. The new glass possesses much •
greater resisting power than the ordi-!
nary material and is, it is claimed, in- ;
different to the most abrupt changes of :
temperature and will even withstand !
open fire.
The glass is specially adapted for sky- j
light*, the powerful resisting qualities i
of the material enabling the usual wire !
protectors to be dispensed with. As |
wire glass cannot bo cut by tho diamond, ;
except under the application of great
force, and cannot be broken without •
creating considerable noise, the sub-
stance is claimed to be in a measure
burglar proof.—Iron.

Shall lVe I'.at the Seed of the Sunflower?
In return for the corn which Uncle
Sam proposes to teach the Russians how
to eat, it is seriously suggested that wa
shall adopt a few bints from them re-
specting the usefulness of the sunflower.
There are regions in the west which
might be most profitably utilized for the
cultivation of tlris plant, which has been
found so valuable for food purjioses in
the empire of the czar that 750,000 acres
in that country are annually planted
with it. Two kinds there are chiefly-
one which bears small seeds, used foi
making oil, while the other produces
big seeds, which are consumed in enor-
mous quantities by the common people
in the same way that peanuts are eaten
here, except that they are devoured raw.

Typewriting iu London.
Across the water typewriting is being
elevated to a place among the arts. A
typewriting "at home" was recently
given ill London by two women who ex-
cel in the profession (?). A magic lan-
tern provided with exhibition slideB
illustrative of the twin occupations,
shorthand and typewriting, and duly
explained by an expert was the feature
of the "at home." The beauty of the
work shown drew exclamations of sur-
prised pleasure from the assembly. A
sea piece and a representation of the
Pantheon at Rome was considered es-
pecially fine.—New York Times.
A Olillly Girl of Seventy.
Mary A. Livennore, who has recently

not long ago a little gathering of people
where Dr. Holmes and Whittier were
present. The conversation turned upon
ages, and tho two great poets having
confessed to their eightieth birthdays,
Mrs. Livermore announced her ap-
proaching seventieth, when Mr. Whit-
tier replied, "Get thee along, get thee
along: thou art but a giddy girl."—Bos-
ton Letter. _____
