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.

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

"There Is no voice, or nny that an

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

these vaults, we arrive at the Acropo

monstrous In size, so perfect in shape,
so rich in carving as to almost raise
doubts of their human origin. It Is

SPAIN'S COLONY IN AFRICA.
Trying to Turn the Rio de Oro Prov
ince to Good Account.
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.
