chief delight Is n walk such as would
put most men under the doctor's enre.
The war minister of the Taft admin
istration Is the champion pedestrian
of tho cabinet. The government fur
nishes htm with a smart carriage and
n pair of thoroughbred horses, and
soino of his subordinates are enabled
to take numerous joy rides In govern
ment owned automobiles.
Automobile or carriage rides bring
no enjoyment to Secretary Dickinson.
His big framo never darkens tho door
of a street car. When ho wnnta to go
anywhere he walks, except perhaps In
the evening when he attends n formal
reception. Kach morning Mr. Dickin
son may be seen walking down Con

war department with n stride which

men In Washington. For instance, he
has no use for a valet. As ho walked
down to the war department recently
n friend noticed that a piece of paper
was fastened to bis chin, indicating
plainly that a razor had slipped.
"You ought to teach your man to be
more careful when ho shaves you In
the morning." the secretary's friend
volunteered.
"I agree with you," auswered the
secretary. "When that razor slipped
this morning I reproached myself vig

offend again."
The scribes dearly love to write up
the career of Representative James A.

bers of the house and has literally
fought Ids way from the bottom to tho
top of the political ladder. When he
was fifteen years old he had to quit

father's blacksmith shop.
Later ho learned the trade of ma

At that time Tawney decided that he
would abandon the forge to take up
tho study of law at the earliest possi

blacksmith shop all day he would
Btudy law until late at night.
He kept this up two years and then
entered the law school of the Univer

abandoned the practice of law in 1890
to enter politics, he being elected to tho

Domesticating the Elephant.
It was long a dispute! quurlon
whether the African elc'linn. was
amenable to domestication. Tluwe
who held the afiirmativ? re.'orr.- to
the experience of the I'aitiiai i am
with these animals, and rec ! d u
elephants that formed a part of Han
nibal's army on his march i-iwaul
Rome. At present elephant.? are being
trained for domestic labors in the
Congo, in tho German African col
onies, in Uganda and elsewhere. In
the Congo especially it is reported
that the training of elephants Is rapid
ly developing into a recognized indus
try. A French society has le.entiy
been formed under the name of
"Friends of the Elephant." the obje-t
of which is to prevent the destruction
of those animals in Africa, and to en
courage their domestic.' tioa.

"Dew Ponds."
Among the most singular archeo
logical remains found in Great Uriuln
are tho ancient "dew ponds." the eon- j
struction of which is ascribed to peo- j
pie of the Neolithic age. Tho pur:-o-?
of these ponds wns to furnish drm--lng
water ror cattle. An cx; o., d
position, where sprins wore ab.-- u.
was selected and a broid, hoi'.o.t!'J
surface was formed, and co -- hI
with straw, or some other non o i'---ing
material. Above was spread a
thick layer of clay strewn with sio u.s
During the night the cold surface n'
the clay caused an abundance of uiol -turo

The Prjetorlnn Guard.
The Praetorian Guard vas a select
body of troops Instituted by the Em
peror Augustus to protect his pert.cn
and consisted of ten cohorts, ec'.t o'
ono thousand men, chosen from Italy
They had peculiar privileges, aud
when they had served sixteen yo:tr
were retired on a pension of about
$500. Each member of the Guard had
the rank of a captain in the regu'a
army. Like tho bodyguard of Louis
the Fourteenth, they were all gentle
men, and formed gradually a gre-u
power, like tho Janizaries at Con
stantinople, and frequently deposed or
elevated the very Emperors themselves.

CHOKE
MISCELLANY
Tried It on the Dogs.
Rpmarkablc effects were produced
by tho now shells In the gunnery ex
periments carried out against the dis
carded French battleship Jena. Dogs
were placed upon tho ship in order to
discover whether they would be suffo
cated or injured by tho shells fired at
that old hulk when the dogs wcro at
some distnuco from tho point of Intact.
Tho nnlmals wcro placed In n part of
the vessel which could not be reached
by tho shells.
It wns found that the explosives did
not kill tho' nnlmals by suffocation or
poisoning. But tho dogs' nervous sys
tems suffered severely under tho re
peated action of tho shells and the re
sulting concussions. Tho Investigators
believed tt proved that In tho next na
val war the olHeors and crows would
rapidly become neurasthenic.
Two dogs after being subjected to
the experiment beenmo somber and
timid, hiding themselves when called.
Finally they committed suicide by
Jumping Into the sen and allowing
themselves to sink without mnklng

Treasury Profits.
Tho government profits slightly by
tho destruction of stamps which have
' been paid for, and tho treasury gets
the benefit of bills which are lost aud
never found.
A larger sourco of Irregular profit
, lies In tho failure of bondholders to
1 present their bonds for redemption.
Unclaimed money In the treasury duo
to bondholders amounted to nearly $1.
000,000 In 1SG1, and tho sum Is much
greater now. Of a loan which fell duo

in busy times tho porter's attention Is
too much occupied with his work to

Deep Water North of Alaska."
Tho chief objert of tho nrctlc ex
pedition of Captain Mli.eiaeu, who
recently rotutned to Coponhagen, was
to settle the quent'.on whether thero Is
land or a deep boa to the north of
Alaska. In March of last year Cap
tain Mlkolsen, Mr. Lcffllngwull and
tho mate made n sledgo expedition
ovor tho Ice. Fifty miles from tho
coast they found crovices, through
which they sounded to a depth of 2,
640 feet without reaching bottom. Six
ty miles farthor on the result was ho
same. Turning then toward tho
southeast, thoy found the edge of the
continental shelf. Tho conclusion Is
that dcop water exists north of Alas
ka, at least to a great distance.
Gases In Sewers.
City peoplo who are occasionally
startled by seeing a manhole co"cr
blown from the pavomont generu'ly
nscrlbe tho blame to leaking gas
mains. Rut there aro probably many
other sources from which dangerous
gases find their way into seworB, and
ono of these Is Indicated by nn In
vestigation recently reported to the
American Chemical Society by Prof.
A. A. Rreneman. Ho showed that
the entrance of a mixture of gasol ne
and soap into drains and sewers from
garages, factories, and other placeo
whore such materials aro employed for
washing, is sufficient to account for
the liberation of much combustible
vapor, which may play a part in sewer
explosions.
' British Hunting Hounds.
Thero are In England 12 packs of
stag hounds, containing 295 couples;
four packs in Ireland, containing 100
couples. The largest pack is the
Queen's, 40 couples; master, the earl
of Coventry, kennels at Ascot Heath.
Of fox hound packs there are 155 In
Eugland nnd Wales, containing 6,239
couples; in Scotland, nine packs, with
326 couples, and In Ireland, 117 packs,
with 635 couples. There are also 124
packs of harriers and beagles in Eng
land and Wales, with 1,997 couples;
40 packs In Ireland, with 512 couples,
and six nacks in Scotland, with 116
couules. Thus more than ju.uuu
hounds are maintained exclusively for
hunting in the United Kingdom.
The Dulcltone.
The dulcitone of Thomas Machcll
of Glasgow has the keyboard of a
piano, but the key hammers produce
sound by striking steel forks like
shankless tuning forks Instead of
wires. A semicircular steel spring
carries the vibrations from each fork
to the sounding board. The tuno is
softer than that of the piano, but it
has great clearness and carrying pow
er nnd is adapted for solo playing as
well as for accompanying other instru
ments or the voice. Importnnt ad
vantages are the lack of necessity of
tuning and the portability. A dulcl
tone of five octaves weighs but forty
flvo pounds, but a piano of the same
range has a weight of 250 pounds or
more.
Reversible Turbines.
Ono of the objections urged against
turbine-engines has been their Inabil
ity to run backward as well as for
ward. John Ogg of Aberdeen has In
vented a form of turbine which avoids
this dlfllculty. Tho stoam enters the
mnchlne through n ho:1ow axis, and
thenco acts upon the wlngr, of tho to
taling disks mounted upon tho ax.
When it Is desired tn revorsc the mo
tion, a new sot of disks, having their
wings sot at a rovorse angle, arj
brought Into play, and by moans o?
grooved valves the steam la projc M
against them, thu3 producing a back
ward motion. Tho rovorsnl of moi.on
can bo produced Instantaneously.
Status of the Atomic Thaory.
Tho suggestion has been umdu tan.
owing to recent dlscoverios. the .rou
te theory of the constitution of mat
ter, established for a century. 1 no
longer tenable, slnco particles small
er than atoms are now known to exist.
But Prof. Herbert R. Moody points out
that the theory is still as useful as
evor, since, under the conditions that
surround us on the earth, most atoms
do not undergo change that can be
discovered In any ordinary way. Tho
atomic theory is based upon weigh'ng?
and the changes In weight which
atoms undergo aro not such as can
be detected.
Prepared for tho Offerings.
A Kansas City druggist tells that a
wealthy man came Into his store Sun
day morning and, throwing a dime on
the showcase, said: "Give me two
nickels for that, please!" "Going to

gist, pleasantly. "No," replied the
wealthy man, "I'm going to church."

Protection for Miners.
Workers In certain mines, as well
ns in glass and mirror factories, are
subjoct to injurious effects from the
inhalation of mercury vapors. An Ital
ian savant. Slgnor Tarugl, believe
that the property of aluminum to ab
sorb mercuric vapors may be utilized
for nrotection against this danger.
and he has devised for the purpose a
mask of aluminum wire to bo worn

Some War Losses.
Southern remittances to the North
began to grow unsatisfactory some
time beforo tho election of 1S00, and
nfter that grew still more uncertain,
stopping entirely the next year. When
tho war began thero was duo from the
Bouth to the merchants of the North
5300,000,000, nil of which was practi
cally a total loss, Its payment being
made a criminal offense. New York
firms lost 1160,000,000 In this way:
tho dry-goods merchant, the clothiers
the boot and shoe dealers, and the
Jewellers being the heaviest losers.

Washington, May "L The confession
of State Senator Holstluw of Illinois
that he got $2,500 for voting for Sen
ator Lorlmer nnd the indictment of
John Rroderlck for bribery havo
thrown the Illinois congressional dele
gation Into a state of unusunl excite

scores of present olllce holders), cannot
now be nverted.
The explosion at Springfield which
drowned tho dying echoes of Senator
Lorlmer's denial that uny money was
paid for his election has been the one
topic of conversation among politicians
of nil parts of the country, and mem
bers of the Illinois delegation hnve
been busy answering telephone calls
from colleagues In the senate and
house, curious to learn the latest de
tails. According to nil indications the sen
