Wonders of the Locomotive.
Tho story of the locomotive sounds
simple in the recital. The wonder of
the thing comes into view only when
one rellects on the speed and nicety
with which lumbrous parts are made
to do their duty. The piston and con-
necting bar of a modern locomotive
weigh some 600 pounds. When the
speed is sixty miles an hour these
parts travel back and forth five times a
second. Ten times a second, at the R- 111 •; Calumet l 20 p. m.; Fort Re

A TTard Hot to Win.
In 1S93 three Irishmen agreed to un-
dertake a journey around the earth on
foot for a jackpot of $150,000. Each
one of the party deposited one-third of
this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and
it was agreed that whoever survived
tho trip and returned should receive
the whole amount. In case all died a
Dublin hospital was to become the
beneficiary. On Dec. 24, 1S95, they
started cast across Europe and Asia
Minor to Egypt, where they took pas-
sage for Australia. Their wanderings
through the inner wastes of Australia
proved tho hardest trials of the jour-
ney, and the severity of this trip re-
sulted In the death of two of the trav-
elers. The third, Capt. Trevelyan, com-
pleted the voyage and won the money.

Attorney-General Griggs has ruled
that Admirals Dewey and Sampson and
their officers and men cannot get theli
naval prize money for the capture ol
Spanish vessels at Manila and Santia-
go without fully and in detail proving
their claims. Tho attorney-general
concedes that a state of war existed,
but denies that the squadron undei
Dewey's command capturcd the Span-
ish cruisers Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon j forth,
and Don Juan do Austria. These ves-
sels, he says, like those at Santiago,
were sunk during tho engagements.
A Jtidgn of Tear*.
The unusual spectacle of a judg* In
tears was witnessed at CardifT when
Mr. Justice Bucknill pronounced the
capital sentence for the first time in
his judicial career. Tho sentence was
on a woman, and the judge,whose voice
was very shaky from the first words of
the sentence, entirely broko down at
the end and burst into tears. The
scene, especially after tho pathetic ap-
peal of the prisoner for mercy for the
sake of her children, was almost with-
out parallel in the annals of trials.
Even the leading counsel were obli^d
to use little subterfuges to hide their
emotion.-—Tit-Bits.

A curious instance of the prevision
of death is that of Mrs. Sarah P. Ros-
Eor of West Eaton, Pa. She had been
sick for several months, and Sunday,
while surrounded by relatives and
friends, she startled them by saying
that she would die that night at 10
o'clock. They laughed at her fears
but nevertheless she died at the
moment she predicted.
