FAKE FAKIR STORY. Several contemporaries published fake stories yesterday about alleged fakirs, who were stopped by the police, Tues day evening, for selling without a license on a vacant lot on North Main avenue. Tho fact ot the matter was that a man nnmed Potter, who manufactures bis own preparations and has been doing business In nnd out of this city for the past twenty years, secured per mission from Dr. Allen's agent, Con tractor George Cooper, to exhibit his wares on tho private piopcrty near Price street. When the patrolman accosted Potter and itsked for his license, the nlleged fakir told tho ofHoer that he didn't nerd any nnd consequently did not havo one, because he was doing busi ness on private properly. Tho olllccr did not understand the law, neither did Potter understand the officer, nnd tho consequence was both became angry. As a result, Potter was escorted to the station house, where he consulted Lieutenant Williams, and the latter not being familiar with tho circum stances nnd the city ordinance, re served bis decision. Tho whole matter Involved a point of law, and Assistant City Solicitor Davis says the ofllcer was tight In his position, and that transient merchants must obtain a license to do business on private or public property. Potter did not sell a cent's worth of goods but two other agents who took advantage of Potter's privilege on tho premises did a thriving business for a short time, and made their escape while Potter was giving the patrolman an argument. Potter secured the necessary license yesterday and succeeded In Interest ing many people In his preparation last evening. KALOS PLEGAN TONIGHT.

STEEL WOOL. Curious Material That Is Used as a Substitute for Sandpaper. From the New York Sun. Steel wool, Introduced five or six years ago, Is a machine-produced ma terial that is used as a substltuto for sandpaper. It is composed ot sharp edged threads of steel, which curl up together llko wool, or somewhat as tho wood fibres of tho familiar material known tis excelsior curl up together, though the steel wool is very much finer; tho finest of It being not much coarser than tho coarsest of natural wools. Tho steel wool is put up In packages containing ono pound each. Thcso nro something llko rolls of cotton batting, but smaller; a pound of steel wool, loosely packed, making, rolled In paper an open at tho ends, a package perhaps fifteen Inches long nnd two or three Inches In diameter. Mado in various degrees of coarse- ncss, steel wool Is put to n. variety of uses, tho finer wools for polishing wood and metal, and tho coarser for rub bing down pnlnt 'and varnish. It is often used on spoclSl parts of work, while, for example, on ,tho flat sur faco of a door a man would uso sand paper with a block back ot It; for the mouldings ho would uso steel wool, which fits into the crevices nnd con forms Itself to Irregular shapes. Such work can bo dono with steel wool far moro readily and quickly than with sandpaper; and It Is used with llko ad vantage on irregular and small sur faces and on carved work. Besides the steel wool thcro Is a coarser material of tho same kind called steel shavings, which is put to various uses; as in taking off old pnlnt or var nish, and In polishing wood before painting and It Is used on bowling nl leys and on floors for smoothing and cleaning them. Sandpaper clogs In use, steel wool breaks down. Tho wool Is commonly used with gloves to keep the ends from sticking Into tho fingers. CITY OF THE SUN GOD. Marvelous Ruins to Re Found In Asiatic Turkey. From tho London Standard. Baal 'Bek, the city of tho sun god, lies at the foot of Anti-Lebanon. In order to reach it you must ride many miles over bare brown plains, across ridges hoary with olive and green with mulberry, between massive bills streaked like tho zebra. Suddenly out of the silent Holds spring mighty walls nnd pillars giants who lift their heads into the amber sky. Tho sight of these superhuman columns, beside which the tallest trees look like ftladcs ot grass fills one with amazement. It is not alone their size and strength nnd beauty that Inspire wonder, but their very existence In such a solitude, far frotvrtho track of mankind. Wc of tho nineteenth century meek dependents on rail and steam arc so In tho habit of associating cities with modern means of communication that wo are astonished at tho presence of massive ruins In the heart of a valley remote from river and sea. As wo draw near our wonder grows. for out of tho thick grove, whoso dark branches sweep and moan like a troub led sea around tho foot of imperishable cliffs, there rise new walls and new columns, massive, ornate, stately even In their heaped confusion. This Is the Temple of the Sun a relic of pagan worship that has looked unmoved on tho birth nnd death of dynasties and faiths. Led as by some- enchantment. wo puss through tho grove, whose dark avenues, overgrown with weeds, have echoed with tho shrieks of tho victims of Baal, Lord of tho Heavens. There, In the shadow of that poplar, may have stood the molten Imugc, tho human figure with a bull's head nnd out stretched arms, from which children dropped Into the fiery lap. "They caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire." "They made themselves molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and wor shipped nil the hosts of heaven, and served Baal." It is not easy to as sociate these bloody rites with such splendor of design and colossal work manship, yet It Is beyond dispute that these walls have seen the worship of Baal, that here incense has been con sumed in his honor, that his priests, clothed In rich vestments, have trod den these paths, that here mothers have looked on dry-eyed at the sacri fice of their children, while the screams of the burning victims were deadened with flute and drum. Six columns, graceful and gigantic, carrying a broken frieze six columns each 75 feet high and 7 feet in diame ter are all that remain of this marvel of paganism. The grove, whose tall poplars looic like grass growing out of fissures In the fallen walls, is silent. "There Is no voice, or nny that an swereth." We leave the ghostly shade, and, walking down a quite country lane, reach the gate that leads us into the temple. A Turkish guard admits us, and in a moment we are plunged into the gloom of a vast vault-like passage. The flickering glare of torches reveals the huge blocks of stone that hhut out air and sky. Emerging from these vaults, we arrive at the Acropo lis, and wander In growing nmazement among the ruinous heaps of stone, so monstrous In size, so perfect in shape, so rich in carving as to almost raise doubts of their human origin. It Is not that tho ruins nro of great extent. Those at ICarnak familiar to every tourist in Egypt and at Palmyra cover a wider area. Their strength, the mas sivo simplicity of their proportions, and tho elaborate beauty of their orna ment are the things that move wonder and admiration, and make every mod ern palace and cathedral dwindle into the insignificance of a paltry nnd ephe meral structure. Tho west wall con tains stones each from 62 to 01 fec-.t long, 13 feet thick, and as many broad. What Titans hewed and placed these enormous blocks that oppress ua with the Inslgnlflcanoe of the Church of St. Peter at Rome nnd the meaness of the Colisseum? What genius conceived After Searching Tests Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Has Proved Itself to Do the Only Positive Cure for Kidney and Blad der Disease.

Krom the New York Sun. Now that Spain has lost all her large colonies she Is doing all she can r.nd encouraging every effort on the patt of her people to develop tho small colonial possessions still remaining to her, particularly In Africa. Spain's largest possession In Africa Is the district of Rlo de Oro, south ot Mor occo. It fronts on the Atlantic between Capes Bojador and Blanco for about flvo hundred miles and extends inland from 420 miles in the north to 600 miles In the south. This territory Is about one-twelfth as largo as the United States, but Inland it Is mostly sand, and development Is pbsslblo on an Im portant scale only In the coast regions, unless minerals may., be found in thQ Interior. Spain's ambition Is to make tho most at the fertile strip along the coast, developing plantations to supply Spain with a variety of tropical products and establlshng tradln? posts for soods of Spanish origin, which may be ex changed with the natives for their gold dust and ostrich feathers. Induce ments, therefore, are being offered to a considerable number of formers and traders to go to this new region and make It worth something to the homa country. A mineral survey of tho region 1 now under way. It Is quite certain that In some parts considerable gold may bo obtained, particularly along the Rlo de Oro. Tho Spaniards will also endeavor, unless France too stren uously opposes tho Idea, to divert soma of the trndo from Tlmbuctoo to their port on the coast and thus establish direct trade relations with the fcrtlH Soudan. Up to this tlmo Spain had en tirely neglected this great possession In Africa and It is scarcely probable that Its development would now hav been undertaken If Spuln still had her former largo colonial Interests to ah' sorb her attention. :1 'J
