REMARKABLE TOWNS.
On ! Eng-iand That Is Mads or Railway
Carriages,
Scattered throughout the area of
Gr-at Britain ore numerous towns and
village of a curious character. One
large Tillages actually consists cf old
railway carriages, even the little mis
sion chapel oeing built out of four large
bore trucks. Another Tillage, with a
population of 1, 100 and a ratable value
of 8,000, bat neither church, chapel
nor school, the only public edifice being
a pillar letter box.
Villages with a single inhabitant are
not unknown. At Skiddaw, in Cumber
land, there is a solitary householder,
who cannot vote because there is no
overseer to prepare a voters' lirt and no
chcrcb or other public building on
which to publifch one, while the only
ratepayer in a certain rural JCorthum
Lerlaud rarish has recently declined to
tear the expense c' repairing a road be
cause he considers it quite good enough
for himself.
In the isle of Ely thero is a little
parish which has been somewhat con
temptuously described as "a portion of
land, with three or four bouses and per
haps 12 inhabitants. " This place has
o roads at all and is consequently put
to no expense in keeping them in repair.
As a matter of fact, there are no ex
penses of any kind and no rates.
Cue of the most remarkable villages
in this country is Kempton, near Bed
ford, which is seven miles long-and ex
tremely straggling. To walk from one
end of the village to the other occupies
two hours.
Sometimes whole villages will prac
tically disappear. A littla Shropshire
Tillage has gradually sunk, until now
it is almost out of sight It is built on
a dihUK-d coal pit, and the sinking goes
on steadily every year. -ow and then
a totteriug house is proped up to keep
it standing, but in spite of all precau
tious buildings are constantly falling to
the gTound, and in course of time doubt
less nothing will bo left but a few
bricks to mark the spot w here a village
onoe stood.
There aro plenty of deserted villages
throughout the country. A diversion of
trade into other channels is sometimes
suScient to produce this effect. Not
inuuy years ago the proprietors of an
iron wuiks at a townlet near Sheffield,
being unable to obtain certain conces
sions from a railway company, removed
their works. Shortly afterward half the
place was to let, and the windows of
many cf the bouses were boarded up.

Has photoj-r,!phy accomplished any
thing? Yes; it Las cbenpeerd art great

public that instinctively prefers the
ebam and the machine mude aud the
microscopic. It hi:s reduced the artist
to a demoralizing straggle with the
amateur simply to get his bread and

England was celebrated for its beauti
fully illustrated Locks, in which the
greatest artists, engravers and printers
collaborated to produce a perfect
whole. Today the place of these books
has l n ttken ty The Strand Magazine
and The Sk tch, (banks to the cervices
of photography. In the making of books,
however, the tendency has always been
toward the survival of the cheapest, and
the cheepcet usually the newest has
always iut rested artists for awhile,
though for ttber reasons than its cheap
ness. Steel engravings succumbed before
wood engraving and lithography, and
they, in turn, have succumbed to the
cheapness cf the process man. In many
ways until lately process was a great
advance upon any other form of repro
duction. Now process block makers are
mostly photographers, who are killing
each other in the rase for cheapness. I
do not want any cue to think I would
imply that pbotoT&pby is not useful to
the artist On the contrary, it is, and
especially in illustration, since it pre

at small expense and without tbe trou

Dr. Whewell, master" cf Trinity col

tice of the undergraduates to begin a
loud and continuous rrhistlo.
"How this originated I do net know, "
writes Dcuu Farrar in Lis book "Men I
Have Known." "There were two leg
ends about it. One was that it intimat
ed that tbe master would have to whis
tle for a bishopric; the other equally
absurd was that when some one had
asked him bow to pronounce his name
he had said, 'Yon must shape your
mouth as if you were going to whistle. "
But under tho rough manners of tbe

the cnelergraduates were touched by an

WHISTLE DEAFNESS.
Tho 6 1 rants Disease Which Attacks Loco
motive Engineers.
"Railway surgeons are learning many
new facts in regard to tbe physical re
quirements of railway employees," said
J. K. Matson of Chicago at the Southern.
"Recently the railway surgeons of
tbe United States held a national con
vention in Chicago, and one night I
beard an interesting chat iu the lobby
of a hotel ly some of them. Tbe uni
versal opinion among them was that it
is just as important that tho ears of
railroad employees, and particularly
the cars of locomotive engineers, should
be scientifically tested for natural or ac
quired defects as that their eyes should
be tested for possible color blindness.
'Whistle deafness' is now a common
disease among railroad employees.
Many a railroad accident could be traced
to this peculiar 'whistle deafness' if
tho truth were known. This disease
makes the ear cf a locomotive engineer
sensitive to tbe sounds by which he is
immediately surrounded, but entirely
deaf to sounds cf all other kinds.
"Tbe same condition is often ob
served cmcng boiler makers, who con
bear slight noises when the air is laden
with the clatter cf hammers upon iron
plates, while tbey are insensible to the
same sounds in quiet surroundings. Lo
comotive engineers tttuetin.es have de
fective ears that can detect slight sounds
indicating imperfect workiug of the ma
chinery, even while the Lell is ringing
or the whistle blowing or both are. in
cse. A locomotive engineer thus afflict
ed should be relieved of duty for awhile
until tbe ear has recovered its normal
condition, enabling it to discriminate
between sounds according to their exact
relative volume, pitch and intensity."

THE
TRICK WCRKEO BY CRIMINALS
IN AN OHIO PRISON.
Convicts Who Trained Bata to Give Warn
ing; cf the Approaeh of Keepers While
They Sawed Their Cell llar A Sheriff
Rewarded For Vigilance.
A story told ly W. R. Ryan, an old
Ohio sheriff, illustrates the ingenuity
of criminals, llyuu wes sheriff cf Cuya
heiga county for several years and re
fuied a third or fourth nomination for
the office for tbe reason that the county
jail in Cleveland was so old and dilapi
dated Uiat tho watching cf the 70 or 80
prisoners was more of a job than he
cared to keep. While ho was still in
charge a notorious criminal named Fos
ter and au accomplice were convicted
and sentenced to a long term of liu
prisoument in the Ohio penitentiary,
At that time the jail was crowded, and
Sheriff Ryan w-as compelled to place
both convicted men in the same cclL
The sheriff lived in tbe county build
ing, and on tbe uigbt following the con
vict ion of I-oster be went to bed soon
after supper, intending to ge t up early
the next morning and take the two
prisoners to tbe penitentiary. About
midnicbt he awoke with a start. He

vinccd that trouble was brewing in the
jcil.
"There's ' something wrong iu the
jail," ho said to his wife, "ind I'll bet
Foster is about ready to break out. I'm
going down stairs to look around."
Dressing himself, he put a revolver
into his pocket and noiselessly went
down to tbe chief jailer's room ou tbe
first floor. Abe Abrams, his deputy,
was guarding tbe jail door.
"What's the matter?" assed Abrams.
"What's wrong in tbe jail?" returned
the sheriff.
"Nothing," replied Abrams.
"Haven't yon heard tho noise of
saws?" asked Ryan.
"Nope, and they ain't been workiug,
or I'el heard 'em, as I've been laying
mighty quiet
Ry.in was suspicious and listened at
tentively at the jail door. There was no
noise except an occasional snore of cue
of tlie prisoners.
"Abe," said Ryan, "I'm certain Fes
ter aud his ial are np to mischief. I've
been feeding it in my bones all uigbt.
aud I'm going to sueak in two tiers un
der their cell aud listen. "
He opened tbo jail dexir noiselessly
aud crept through the jail until he was
under Foster s cell. He bad not mad a
the slightest uoiso. Of that he was cer
tain. Ho breathed regularly end witbans
littlo noise as po.-ible, aud be could
not detect a sound which indicated that
an effort was being made to saw tho
cell bar. Nevertheless, he could not
get ri.l tf Lis suspicion and remaixed

"As seen as we leave," said the

"ion sec, boys, that yon may be

"That a right," stiid Fester; "but
what made yon ccme iuto the jail last

"Nobeidy," answered Ryan. "I just
guessed it. Eut how did yen know I

"Not n round. You made a quiet
sneak fox such a Lig mau," exid Feis
ter'u pal.
"A hea how elid yon know 1 was

"Now, leo here, Mr, Ryan," replied
Foster. "We're iu for a long term, and
if yen w ill pet a geed word iu for us
we'll tell yon our secret"
"Agreed:" said Ryan.
"Well, where we get tho saws is

The Loves of aa Architect.
The architect, says Rcsscll Sturgis In
Tbe Atlantic, mui-t poKaess a love of
building, aud of heavy sMues, cud of
rood Lrieks. and of stout, solid walls
and of handsome timbers, handsomely
cut aud framed. lie mcst ever, love
the new material, wrought and rolh
iron and steel, for its great and as
yet only partly known capabilities.
Wb n one in askt d ty a would be
i student cf architecture about his (the
: i ndent's) chances of suce-eeding as an
i.rchitect. it is very cood to fiud oot
what bis proclivities are and wheth
er ho is merely interested iu fine art
and seized with tho ide-a that archi
tecture is an eu.-y, fine urt to study and
to practice.
The architect should love tho quarries
and should visit them with eager curi
osity. The cleavage of stone and its ap
pearanco iu its natural bed should be
not only a delight to him, but au object
of closo study. Tbo architect should
love the lumber yard, net to say the
forest. To him the timber iu itself
should be a thing delightful to study
and its possible uses delightful to con
template The architee-t should leive the
brickyard, aud experiments iu cements
and in mortars should be his holiday
amusement And, finally, tho nrchitect
must have sueb au rye and such
soundue-ss of judgment that bad wrrk
cannot eseape him. A f.inii!ijrity with
details not unlika that cf a gooel mast
builder ho inurt combine with a knowl
edge 1 1 urine Miles and e.T possibilities
fur beyond that of tho master builder,
so that gixxl work will come to his
buibiincsas of inevitable) senueue'e, and
bud or even slighted work will bo im
possible iu them. -

se-curity. Tim clothes were to be return-
eel immediately wnen tiio purpose was

Focr Goldsmith, having failed iu his
