PhlllD O. Hubert. Jr., In a sketch of
Frnklln In hi recent 'book, "Invent-
r" nava. "Nothlntc in nature railed
to Interest him;" and a catalogue of his
achievements, ehowlnR his activity ann
rrfimiroe, la conclusive proof of the
iniUi of both statements:
Franklin inspired and tntaiiiiBhca tne
Junto, tho pleasant est and mowt iwclul
American club of which we nave Know
ledge.
Ho founded tho rhllndelphia Ldnrary,
parent of a thousand libraries, which
I marked the beginning of an dntolloetu
ul movement of endlesa good to tho
.whole country.
He first turned to sreat account the
engine of advertising, indispensable in
all modorn 'business.
He published "Poor Menard," a rec-
that hundred- of thousands of readora
rfwero made better and stronger by it. j
4 Ho created tho post-ofnee system of
"'America, and waa tho first champion
,?of a reformed spelling. j
He Invented the Franklin stove,
Which economized fuol, and he suggest
cd valuable improvements In vontlla-
llon and tho building of chimneys.
He robbed thunder of Its terrors, and
f lightning oX some of its power to do
Is roy.
He founded the American rhilosophl-
jcal Society, the first organization in
America of the f wends of science.
Ho suggested the use of mineral
manures, introduced the basket willow,
promoted the early culture of silk,
and pointed out the advantages of
white clothing in summer.
& He measured the temperature of the
I Gulf Stream, and discovered that
sj northeast storms may .begin In the
southwest.
, " 1. He pointed out the advantage of
j V building ships in water-tight compart
mcnts, taking the hint from the Chl-
nese, and first urged the use of oil aa
a means of quieting dangerous seas.
;, Besides these great achievements,
accomplished largely as recreation
from his life-work as economist and
' statesman, Benjamin Franklin helped
- 'itihe whole race of Inventors by a re
I mark that 'has (been of Incalculable
Y-'.alue and comfort to theorists and
' Iflreamers the world over. When some
, Jono spoke contemptuously of Montgol
., dor's balloon experiments, and asked
tot what use they were, the great Amer
ican replied In words now historic, "Of

A Famous Creole Wouiun Dead.
One of the most picturesque charac
ters In New Orleans passed away a few
days ago In the 'person of Dame Veuve
(widow) Marie Madeleine Zoe Cruzat
Peychaud. "Tante Zoe " as she was
known to the entire creolo population
of New Orleans.
!l!me. Peychaud. waa S3 years of age,
f; Slio had figured so conspicuously from
i her very childhood In the society and
history of New Orleans, and her mem
"-t ory was bo bright, that she seemed far
older than the century. She was of the
best creolo stock, a granddaughter of
that Chevalier Chalmette (Chalmetle- de
Lino) upon who.-e plantation the battle
of New Orleans was fought, which
Louisiana folks always called the bat
tie of Chalmette, and the daughter of
that Senor Cruzat who was Governor of
all tho vast Missouri territory of Spain
which stretched from tho Mississippi to
the Pacific. When after tho victory of
New Orleans, tho 'population of that
city, with the Gallic lovo for display,
welcomed General Jackson with pomp
and ceremony in tho Placo d' Arnica,
now Jackson square, It was llttlo Zoe
Cruzat, then a girl of 12, dressed in
white, with gay red and blue ribbons,
and representing Louisiana, that placed
3 a laurel wreath on the brow of tho vic
torious General.
Tante Zoe was but 16 when she mar
Tied and but 22 when she became a
widow, yet she leaves scores of do
scendants, gradchildren, great-grand
children, and great-great-grandchildren
behind her. From 1S20 almost to the
time of her death Mmo. Peychaud waa
tho leader of creolo society. She had
the prosecenium box at the first opera
ever given in New Orleans. She enter
tallied In brilliant stylo tho Due d'Or
leans, Louis Philippe of France, when
a refugee in America. She led in the
balls, tho opera, and everything else.
When her youth pa.-scd away Mmo,
Peychaud remained the idol of tho Cre
ole world. There was never a sick per
eon In the French quarter whose bed
side she did not visit, nor any one in
trouble who did not consult her; and
iher Thursday levees, which she kept
up until she was UO, were the rendez
vous of young nnd old, for Mmo. Pey
chaud could tell the most delightful
stories of old .creolo days. New Or

I "I'll wager you never saw a chicken
jflke that," eaid Jacob Hope of Ninth
iJBtreot, above Filbert, R3 he dived into
i a. cage and sous'.it out a mottled pul
,;lot. He would have won the wager, for
(the pullet haa the hc-.-.d of a snako, as
wen uuvuiopcu as any serpent mat ev
rr wriggled. It ha 3 no beak at all, but
lu its stead Is a mouth, from which
uarta iback and forth with all the
rmites cbaracterisiha a red stinger
iTo prove the atranKo resemblance. Mr
I Hope reached into a glass case and
lirought forth a gray and white mottled
snake about seven feet long, which he
affectionately twined about his neck.
It was hard to tell which head looked
moat snake-like. Another "odd feature
of the pullet Is its lack of toes and

Invent lui of a simple nnl Inox-
iiiihIvu ilevlcn for flccelorntiiiK tlm
opecu or mnim nni nro-vcniing narnn-
ties mid ((rronioii lina rwntly been
imiiiKht to the attention of the Chief
()f (,mHtni,.tin (lni otlior olllolnta of
the Navy Mopnrtiniht In Washington, j
with the result that AsxlNt.int Hcc-re- 1
tnry of the Nnvy McAiloo has ap
pointed Chief Kiiglnper lWpe Cowle,
Jr., U. S. X.. stationed nt tho New
York Nnvy Yard, a eoitimlsHlonor to
whiles! a tost of the Idea on a large
scale and iviort on It to the depart
ment. The Invention consists of a mechan
ism which envelops the submerged
jMirtion or a ship with a film of oil,
thus reducing friction nnd overcoming
tue '"n tll,!
water.
A writ of Iron Hansen are tautened
along the lottoni nnd mUIoh of the whip
el(w the water Hue, In which are In-
gerted nheets of woven wire tM-ttlng,
lathing or sheet Iron, covered with an
absorbent composition saturated with
oil. The flanges have a seinlclrculnr
covering on top, below which runs n
finely perforated plite, which ejects n
fine Hprny of on against the Inside of
the flange nnd on to the sheets, from
which It spreads downwnrd.
The oil Is not carried awny by tho
water, but through capillary attrac
tion Is spread, thus keeping the ship'
hull greased without any waste of oil.
It Is said that the composition is a
iwrfect carrier of oil under the surface
of the water, a feature which has nevei
before Imhmi achieved and which will
make oil perform below tho water
line the same service that It does In
quelling a rougili sea.
It Is said for the Invention that, ap
plied to any vessel, either steam ot
Hailing, It will Increase the speed by
at least twenty-five per cent without
augmenting the amount of machinery
or the exM-ndlture of fuel. Another
and most valuable feature chimed Is
tlmt It will prevent the growth of bar
uncles. These enemies to ships hulls
necessitate frequent dry docking and
scraping, at large cost.
The Inventor nlso declares that thu
fatty comiK)sltlon will completely pre
vent corrosion of hulls.
The oil usel Is crude petroleum, nnd
Is supplied to the pipes by tanks and
valves located above the water line.
The system Is so arranged that In
rough weather a large quantity of oil
can be discharged nlong the sides of
the ship and distributed over the sur
face of the water, thus providing a
more effective method of grenslng nnd
smoothing high seas than any yet do
vised. New York Herald.
FASHION NOTES.
Belts of bias satin are sometimes
gathered nt Intervals up and down and
the sUches covered with jet sequins.
The newest thing In wedding veils Is
tulle with a rullle of roso point all
n roil iul the edge.
Boleros of lace and wide draped
belts fastened with rhlnestone buckles
are features of weddiug gowns this
season.
Tucking In all forpis Is In great
vogue just nt present, and small mut
ton leg sleeves are tucked from the
shoulder to the waist lu graduated
widths, the wUlost tucks being at tho
top.
Tan gloves are quite ns fashionable
ns white for calling and the street, but
white, pale yellow and pink are the
proper tints for evening dress, except
with a black costume which requires
a black glove. The four-button length
Is worn with the long sleeves.
The fashionable evening headdress
of two or three fathers with an ai
grette of two arranged high on the
crown of the head, has uu Importance
In the screening business which Is
rarely surpassed by the correct e veil
ing lwHinet; and a pretty Parisian sug
gestion Is a wreath of violets around
the coll of hair, whether It Is done up
on the top of the head or on the nape
of the neck. Wired loops of black vel
vet ribbon thickly spangled with gold
or silver, form one of the many styles
of headdress worn at the opera, but
three short curling ostrich tips In
black, with one short nlgrette, nr
rnnged so that two of the tips curl
down close to the hair nnd one stands
up, make the prettiest possible deco
ration for light brown hair.

THE WORLD AWHEEL. " j
A Illg Illrjrcle for tlie I'nrla Kxoltlon
Otlirr oli.
The, bicycle built for two thousand,
to be seen nt the Paris Imposition of
1!)IMI, will be the very Ix-heinolh of bi
cycles the largest, wheel ever built.
It could be ridden only by a giant
more than twice as tall as the Colossus
of Ithodes. l'ion it such a rider
could scorch around the world In
about the time required by an ordi
nary wheelman for a spin through
Central Park.
It Is, In fact, a carefully constructed
edifice of the lot Bessemer steel; and
whnt the ICifTel Tower was to the last
Paris Kxixwltloti the big bicycle will
bo to this. Unquestionably, it Is to
be the star attraction of the great ex
hibition.
This monster wheel will le taller
than ai:y of the tall buildings sur
rounding It. Its saddle would just
overtoil Weather Prophet I hum's ob
servation tower on the roof of (loth
n m's tallest office building. All tho
other dimensions are In proportion.
But tho big bicycle- Is a very complete
building In Itself. It has two large? en
trances, one at the bottom of ench of
Its wheels, cut right through the tires.
Winding stairways lend from the
doors up the front and bnek of each
wheel through the forward and rear
standards to the backbone of the ina
I'hlno. Thence spiral steps ascend to
the handle bar and saddle.
The stairs ore lighted throughout by
numerous windows of quaint dtsigu.
through which great variety of views
can be obtained as the sightseer
mounts to the top of tho structure.
As ho Is constantly turning In
his ascent the outlook changes with
every step, nnd be enjoys a magnifi
cent natural panorama. Particularly
fine will be the prosject from the win
dows of the bundle bar.
A BICYCLE POSTEK.
(RoprnfJuocjl frnm Chlcniio Tlmes-lfprnlil.)
On the saddle Is a broad pint form,
nround which runs a strong steel rail;
It Is large enough for the most elabo
rate cotillon ever danced. Here,
while the warm summer weather lasts,
open nlr banquets will be held for the
entertainment of eminent visitors.
Dances will also be given at Intervals
while Hie exposition lasts.
The backbone of the big bicycle will
contain a really marvelous nimrtinonf.
This will be a grand saloon scarcely
is many spans in width as It Is yards
In length. It Is Intended principally
for use as a banquet hall. One long
table will ron down the centre through
its entire length, nt which six hundred
persons may be seated comfortably.
Chalnless bicycles lu which two pairs
of bevel gears are used Instead of tlie
chain, are reported to have proved
their suiMM'lorlty over the present
style of wheel lu a test. In which a
wheel was run thirty-nine thousand
miles without adjustment or appreci
able wear, says Engineering News.
"Dynamometer tests also show that
the bevel gears run with less friction
than the chain. It Is stated that one
of the largest manufacturers will
soon put these wheels on the market.
The nverage jvedestiiau moves about
thirty Inches nt each step. The wheel
man mo nted on a bicycle of nverage
gear covers about K'A feet at each
downward movement of the legs,
which makes half a revolution of the
pedals.

THE LIBERTY LEAGUE.
An Organization Thai Opposes the Election
to Office ot Extremists.
Londoners and New Yorkers, who
have long been afflicted with societies
for the prevention of this, that and
the other, or organizations for the
promotion of fads of every description,
should take example from certain ol
the residents of New Zealand, the
land of advanced ideas. These resi
dents arrived at the conclusion that
civilization was advancing with too
rapid strides in New Zealand and
that individual rights and liberties
were being trodden under foot by
faddists.
They accordingly formed an organi
zation named the Liberty league, tlie
members of which are pledged to op
pose any person who stands for elec
tion who is an extremist upon any
subject injuriously affecting the rights
of citizens, and to conserve what re
mains of individual liberty, and to win
back the rights of which the people
have been robbed by predatory en
actments.
Some time ago total prohibition of
the liciuor traffic was enforced in cer
tain parts of the country, with the
result, as borne out by high church
dignitaries, that these districts are
now noted for drunkenness. Notwith
standing this fact, the prohibitionists
are determined to force their ideas
upon the whole colony. One of the
objects of the Liberty league is to
resist by every constitutional means
the attempts of the prohibitionists to
stop the manuiacture, sale, importa
tion or use of liquor in the colony.
In the recent elections for members
of the house of representatives the
league worked strenuously against the
orohibition candidates, with the re
sult that they' were everywhere de
feated. It is hoped that hence forth
the socialistic legislation of the New
Zealand parliament will be checked
through the influence of the leaguers,
who include some of the most promt
nent men of the country. Aao York

that carried Mark Twain from South
Africa to England. During dinner,
one evening, a young gentleman made
himself aggressive, with the usual tall

in silence for a time, but finding it
grew almost beyond bearing, with
great politeness admonished him in
this wise :
