COPTIUGHT. 189R
The sun has set in the west with a
dull sickening—no, that won't, do. It
is n dark night. The fragrant moon has
retreated behind a murky cloud; the
modest stars, though not exactly con
cealed from view, nre hardly what you
might call—well, nt any rate, it is a
dark night. This doesn't sound
enough like a scoop—that's so, it's
word painting. WoTd-paintlng may
not be in my line, but I'll make one more
stab nt It. I'll take a fresh start.
It is the Berlin express from Magde
burg and still further west. Swiftly
on its glittering track it has sped
throuhg the dispiriting suburbs of the
old cathedral town until, the open
country reached, the scene grows more
exhilarating. By the wayside a herd
of swine, uuchnperoned, amiably
munch their evening repast. Town
after town, each with a name sugges
tive of a fine brand of kase, of wurst,
or mayhap of beer laden tankard, is
passed with a rattling swish. Not a
stop, not even a semicolon. Even
stately old Brnndeuburg-on-the-llavel,
midst river-made lakes and musty
memories of long dead, world-famed
margraves, is passed with scarcely a
nod from the burly locoraotive-fulirer.
The pink-and-white lieutenunt in the
corduroy seat (for it is a second-class
compartment, a fact the corduroy up
holstering denotes) flips from off
the lapel of the flre-gray overcoat a tiny
cinder speck.
over his high redcloth collar and aim
at the spot where the cinder is. He
must have felt iflftlrop there.
The first, stop of this lightning ex
press will be at Potsdam, my alighting
place. The speed of the train is so
great that the passengers are struck
with awe at their own swift flight. The
speed almost equals that made by an
American milk train on a Wisconsin
branch line.
Dusk comes apace. I have authori
ties to prove it. Twinkling stars be
gin to appear in the boundless space
above—space almost as boundless as
that which I am writing against.
801, like a gleaming copper target, is
slowly sinking, filling the western sky
with lurid flame; the black tree tops
are silhouetted against the glare like
the spires and pinnacles of a burning
city. The passenger at the east win
dow of the compartment comes to life
and lights a tobacco torch, which al
first burns with a blue flame, then turns
to orange, and this expiring, the torch
smolders on sputteringly.
T The air is divinely still, as if nature
held her breath to watch the glory of
dying day. Perhaps it is the cigar.
The lieutenant discovers that, the left
lobe of his mustache is off its perpen
dicular. He arranges the matter to
the intense relief of himself and the
minor specimens of humanity who
have the honored felicity of sharing
the corduroy compartment with so il
lustrious a person.
Just above the carnation of the sky
line n sea of mackerel green leaves the
golden coastline of a buff cloud conti

the kaleidoscopic transmutation of

Potsdam! w hat a name for a place of
imperial residence. It had another
p name once—Fotsdapimi, which meant
"Under the Oaks" in—well, some old
language —Slavic, probubty. I wonder
if it is treasonable to think that "Un
der-the-oaks" sounds prettier than
Potsdam. Anyway it was Potsdapimi
in an old document made July 3, in the
year 033. Iw as shown the document—
the alleged document. Tenth century
handwriting is very poor "copy."
There are over §O,OOO human being 3
here, including about 10,000 soldiers
and the royal fumily when they are at
home. The empress is here now; and
for that reason I am not permitted to
pass the guards of the palace, which
was built in 17G3, lias 110 open plumb
ing, and has as its only means of illum
ination candles and oil lamps. A guide
took me through several other Pots
dam royal places (there ore five of them
here), where there were no mod
ern conveniences either; but the folks
were out, for even royalty can't live in
five palaces all at once, and so they let
us go through the rooms—but an at
tendant in a swallow-tail coat and brass
buttons followed closely behind to see
that I did not nip a granite vase or two,

china. Most of the furniture consists
of samples from stone and marble quar
ries in other countries. Every room has
at least one vase or malachite table,
weighing about a ton, which the guides
Informed visitors was a present from
king so and so or the emperor this and
that. Mind, I mention no names.
There isn't a pint of running water in
all the rooms of the four pa laces I in
spected. The furniture may have been
very good in its time, but is very much
out of style to-day. My friend, the
varnish and axle-grease manufacturer
in New York, has much newer, and even
more gilded, furniture in his house.
The on!$ r things that impressed me
were a few tortoise-shell bedroom-sets
and writing tables, but even they
looked shopworn. Two of Frederick
the Great's music-stands arc made of
the same material. I suppose tortoise
shell was a cheap commodity in those
days.

need touching up some.
It is hard to give a good description
of the Potsdam palaces—they hustle
you through so. There is nothing
homey about a royal palace. I say that
If they frontier me for it.
Old Frederick the tried to make
Sans-souci an at-home place, from his
peculiar standpoint, but his standpoint
was a great hindrance to his intentions.
Sans-souci is said to have been copied
from the palace of Versailles, and wa.<
built by F. the G. in 1845—and his royal
highness lived there most of the time-
None of his successors eared much for
it, however, and it Is now in pretty
much the same condition as when he
ceased to live there August 17, 178(1,
2:20 a. in. lam so sure and exact about
the time, because a trained clock of his
greatness felt so bad about it that, it
stopped at the exact moment that the
monafch expired. There was 110 coro
ner's inquest held 011 the clock. They
still exhibit (he clock, and they didn't
even fold its hands.
Sans-souci is only one story high,
for Frederick the Great was much
averse to climbing stairs, and 1 sup
pose he had lost faith in elevator in
spectors, and therefore wouldn't trust
his life 011 a "lift." They say he was
gouty in his old age. When he lived
nt the old palace (near the railway sta
tion), which is a few stories high, he
got around the stair business by having
a chute built for himself. 1 should have
liked to see his royal nibs do the slide
act.
It is hardly probable that the royalty
of the past—or present—was put to the
same inconvenience that visitors ex
perience in the way of pedal covering.
Even without taking the hustling into
consideration, palacing is a form of
amusement not unaccompanied by
embarrassment, for the uncrowned
visitor is required when slumming—l
mean palacing to wear things on his
feet. I don't know what to call 'cm.
They're something like the wall-poch
ets one sees in country houses in New
Jersey, or perhaps more resemble the
baskets by means of which the squaws
in South Dakota carry their babies on
their backs. Only these are felt—and
seen. I've heard dark hints to the
efTect. that it was merely a scheme to get
the hard wood floors polished without
expense.
When Frederick the Great was
crown prince he was permitted to keep
up a little court of his own, and he
surrounded himself with quite a
"smart" set, of which Voltaire was n
shining member. When he finally be
came king he built Sans-souci and took
the whole "smart" net along with him.
Then Voltaire got the big head and fre
quently got too gay with the king. So
the latter concluded to play a joke on
Voltaire. There were no comic week
lies in those days, or Frederick would
have ordered a center page devoted to
his favorite. So he managed to get
Voltaire to take advantage of the sum
mer excursion rates to Paris. Voltaire
took a round trip, and went to revisit
his old Par. While he was gone Fred
crick played horse with Voltaire's
room. He sent for the decorators and
told them about a dream ho had. The
decorators transferred thodrenm to the
walls and furniture of Voltaire's room.
Voltaire returned and nearly had a fit
when he saw his room. The ceiling
and the walls were all covered with
carved and painted figures, monkeys,
cranes, peacocks and parrots; even the
furniture was mixed up the same way.
It was all, said the mlrry king, an inno
cent portrayal of Voltaire's character.
The hitter's dislike for cold water,
even, was pictured by n miniature
chamber service. Then Voltaire quit
his job.
The room is still shown just as Vol
taire wouldn't have it. A genial, fun
loving soul was Frederick the Great.
But you rend nil that, did you, .years
ago in the fourth reader? So did I;
but it seemed like a new tale to see the
room in all its hideous reality.
That there arc nearly 10,000 soldiers
In Potsdam is due to the fact that this
Is the official summer residence of the
emperor and his family. There are
here four soldiers, I am told, from each
regiment of the German army, those
forming a sort of imperial guard. I

ITere nt Potsdam is a colony planted
by Frederick the Great, which is full of
interest and Russians. The latter are
descended from the Russian mer
cenaries whom the great Prussian king
hired for target practice. They are the
most descended people I ever saw.
They live in houses that are an unhnppy
medium between a Swiss chalet and
what I imagine n Russian abode to he.
West of the town, on the right hank
of the deep sea, dor tiefe See, as an off
shoot of the river Havel is called on
the local maps, is the I'abelsberg park,
and at the north end of this is another

visitors are permitted to skate through
some of the rooms when the royal fam

each palace or castle, and you are ex
pected to drop a tip or a tear ns you go
along. It all depends. It's a tip at the
writing table of Konig Heinrich, the
S'teenth, but a tear is considered more
appropriate at a masolcum where a few
kings and queens are planted.

that Frederick the Grcnt strewed
around Snns-souci. Ilere arc no stat
uettes like those the Great Frederick is
said to have bought at an auction of
Pompeiian and Grecian antiquities.
And in the picture galleries of Babels
berg there are no portraits of Napoleon
or Mme. Pompadour, such as are to be
viewed at the Orange palace of Pots
dam. There were no Napoleons or
Pompadours In Frederick William the
Third's time, and the Napoleonic craze
had not struck in at the time that mon
arch expired.
I was skating on the grounds here
when an officer of the household ap
proached me. I thought perhaps be
was a connoisseur, and as such I wel
comed his presence.
"Das ist nicht hier erlaubt," he re
marked, as affably as his voice would
permit.
"No, it isn't so bad, is it?" I replied,
in an off-hand Yankee way—something
like my sketch, which consisted of a
few outlines of a group of peasants who
were standing opposite the bank where
I had established temporary headquar
ters.
And then the officer took me in hand
and gravely explained in choicest Ger
man with a slight Zwiebel accent that
there were a few princesses and princes
stopping at the castle, and that during
their visit they did not wish to be
sketched.
"But I am not sketching them," lex
plained, by means of my Kngliseh-
Beutsch and Deutsch-Englisch Tas
chenworterbueli. And I showed him
my sketch.
"Das inacht nichts aus. Dicse kon~
nen dach prinzessinnen sein."
(Thatmakes no difference; those may
st ill be princesses.)
He was an honest official intent on
doing his duty; but he was no judge of
pictures, and my sketch of a group of
peasants was torn into bits and ground
into the soil. CHARLES LEDERER.
A Hug: That Can Cut Metal.
The Zoplierus Melicanus is the only
known species of American beetle that
has strength enough in its mandibles
to cut metal. This curious faculty of
zoplierus was accidentally discovered
by F. W. Dcvoe, a member of the New
York Microscopical society. A friend
bad sent Mr. Devoe some specimens of
this queer species of bug from the
northern states of South America. The
miscroscopist was busily engaged when
the insects arrived and simply provided
temporary quarters for the creatures
in a glass jar having a nietnl top in
which the porcelain cap was wanting.
Within less than forty-eight hours they
had cut holes in the metal sufficient to
get their heads through, and would soon
Have escaped had their operations re
mained undetected. By careful experi
ment Mr. Devoe found that the force
neccessary to do such cutting was equal
to 3G9 grammes.

NEGRO QUIZZES NEELY.

Cornelius Yanderbilt votes in the
ninth election district, of the twenty
ninth assembly district cf New York.
The polling place is in n florist's estab

avenue, between cnth and Fifty
eighth streets.
Mr. Yanderbilt appeared before the
election officials on Tuesday. ITe evi
dently did not desire to postpone his
registration and took advantage of the
first day to qualify as a voter. There Is
a negro inspector in the board and h°
"KIN YOU READ AND WRITE, BAII?"
was noting as chairman when Mr. Vnn
derbilt appeared before the registrars.
"Name, sah?" ejaculated the Afro-
American, who cultivated his voice as a
chimney sweep.
"Cornelius Yanderbilt," was the re
ply-
The negro was paralyzed. Ills pen
began to play a tattoo on the registra
tion book, scattering ink spots all over
the page. A big splash of the black
fluid changed the name of a voter who
had already registered from Dennis to
Funis, while another but smnller splash
covered the large 0' which is the initial
letter of the surname of one of Mr. Yan
dcrbilt's coachmen. When the colored
inspector had recovered froni his spasm
and his huge eyeballs had sunk back
into his head, he continued his ques
tions to the multimillionaire.
"Kin you read and write, sah?"
"See here," exclaimed Mr. Yander
bilt, with evident anger, "you are im
pertinent. What right have you to
nslc mo such silly and impertinent ques
tions?"
"De law ob de Inn', boss; de lawobde

Mr. Yanderbilt appealed to the white
spectators and they pacified him by
showing him the new law for the reg
istration of voters.
"What arrant nonsense," said Mr.
Yanderbilt. He then said that lie was
51 years of age, weight 170 pounds and
was 5 feet 10 inches in height. ills
complexion was recorded as dark.
As he started to leave the place of
registration he tossed a quarter at the
colored inspector. The coin struck the
table and rolled to the floor. The
quarter and the eofToe-eolored inspector
disappeared simultaneously. They
met, under the table.
