- Heat of the Saw's Surface,
What is the actual brat of the sun's sur
face? Various estimates have been made,
but ax tbey vary from 1.0UU and a fraction
to millions of degrees there is little prospect
of an immediate and reliable answer to the
question, rieccni gave it as bis opinion that
the temperature could be but little, if any,
short of W.OUt.tl W degrees of the centigrade
thermometer. Sporer thought that it might
be 37.000 degrees, while Fouillot brought it
down to somewhere between 1,400 and 1,761
degrees of the same scale. M. Becquerrel.
Professor Langley ami Sir William Thomp
son all agree on about 8,onO degrees of cen
tigrade, making their deductions from cal
culations baited on xolar photospheres.
According to M. St. Clair Deville, the
temperature of the sun's surface does not
exceed 8,800 degree This also agrees with
experiments until- by both Bunseo and De
bray Sir Kabert Ball, tbeastronomerroyal
of Ireland, in his "Story of the Heavens,"
says, "We shall probably be well within the
truth if we state the effective temperature
of the sun to be about 18,000 degrees Fahr-

PICKETT AND THE ARCHIVES.
the light Taisei on a Hiddea Chapter at
Wartime History.
Frank Eigga, the son of the famous
banker and his father's successor in the
financial circle at Washington, tells
me an Interesting story that corrects
(also impression which many good peo
ple have carried for years. During the
second term of President Grant a man
of the name of Pickett sold to the gov
ernment of the United States the rec
ords of the executive departments of
the southern confederacy. From these
documents was obtained much evidence
that prevented the payment of claims
of southern citizens who pretended loy
alty for losses growing ont of the war.
In single instance they saved several
millions by showing that mail contract-
sTs throughout the scrath had been paid
from the Confederate treasury for serv
ices performed by them for the postoffiee
department of the United States before
the outbreak of the rebellion. They
proved to be of great value in many oth
er directions, and the price paid Mr.
Pickett for them, which was some
thing like $00,000, proved to be one of
the most profitable investments ever
made by the government
Pickett had been the chief clerk of
the Confederate state department or
held some similar office which made
him custodian of the archives. -When
President Davis and his cabinet fled
from Richmond, Mr. Pickett carted the
records away and hid them in some
place that escaped the searchers of the
Union army, and the manner of their
disappearance was a mystery until they
were delivered to Secretary Fish. It
was always believed that Mr. Pickett
pocketed the money, and he was nni
ersally condemned by southern people
for betraying the secrete of Hie lost
cause for a price.
"The facts have never been told,
said Mr. Biggs, "for Mr. Pickett exact
ed the strictest pledges of secrecy from
my father in regard to the disposition
of the money. But both of them are
dead now, and there is no reason why
the truth should not be known. Mr.
Pickett never had the benefit of one
penny of the money he received from
the government for those records. Be
deposited the entire amount as soon as
he received it in our bank to the credit
of 'George W. Biggs, trustee for,' and
it was distributed in small amounts
among the widows of Confederate offi
cers. Mr. Pickett made out the list of
the people to whom he wished it sent
The checks were all signed by my fa
ther. Each one was accompanied by a
letter, which he prepared and which my
father signed, saying that the inclosure
was forwarded at the request of a gen
tleman who felt an interest in their
welfare, but for reasons of his own de
sired that his identity should not be
disclosed. The account was carried for
several years, and all the checks and
vouchers are now packed away in our
bank. " Chicago Record.
Experiences With Lions.
Mr. Selous, having spent 21 years In Afri
ca, has returned to London from Mashona
land. Mr. Selous confessed that he had
killed 100 elephants and 25 lions. His best
lion story was about a mail carrier In Ma
sh ona land. The man in question was rid
ing one horse and leading another, which
carried the mails, when the lion made his
appearance and his spring. The latter de
moralized the mail completely. One horse
was bowled over, the other broke away
without its rider, and the mail carrier very
naturally lost all interest in the mail.
The lion did not succeed in detaining
either of the horses (tbey turned up next
day at the fort, one very badly wounded
and without the mailbags), so he returned
to the unfortunate carrier. Him the lion
treed and then sat down at the foot of the
tree to await developments. Fortunately
for the carrier they did not develop entire
ly as the lion could have wished, for the
text day a caravan passed and the lion
stalked away into the bush, doubtless with
an increased contempt for the refinements
of civilization. The mailbags were not
found for months afterward.
"Are lions fond of man meat 7"
"No," said Mr. Selous; "they prefer don
keys. 1 think the donkeys remind them of
zebras. They have no distaste for horses.
but the will attack human beings. I once
knew a lion to walk into a camp where I
was staying and walk off with one of the
policemen. I've brought his skin borne
the lion's. I think it is in that corner no,
it isn't. I remember I have sent it away to
be cleaned."
Lion hunting Is dangerous, isn't It?"
It depends. One learns to run fewer
risks as one gets older. When I wound a
lion now, I let him go. When I was young
er, I used to go after him. I shall do so no
more." London Graphic.
Cashier Sawyer's Strange Gift,
C. M. Sawyer, cashier of the Dexter Na
tional bank, possesses a very peculiar facul
ty for telling the weight of things offhand.
He cannot explain what the power is, but
that he can exercise it correctly there can
be no doubt. Numerous instances of its
use are told. One is that a merchant was
one day preparing to weigh a boxful of old
copper setups, all shapes and sizes thrown
in at haphazard. . Just then Mr. Sawyer
stepped into his (tore. Seeing the box and
the scales he remarked:
"You needn't weigh that, for I can tell
you to an ounce just what it weighs. The
thought came to ma just as I came in the
door that that box and content weighed
just 873 pounds."
The dealer was not prepared to adopt this
mode of weighing without verifying it, so
be put the box on the scales, and it tipped
the beam at exactly the weight named.

AMERICAN FOSTERS.
PICTURES IN WHICH THI3 COUNTRY
LEADS THE WORLD,
The Growth of Lithography and Its Rela
tion to the Art of Advertlalng Theatrical
Attvwclioas How Ills Business Baa Bcoa
Bwlltt'n.
The American poster has utterly changed
Its standing since the printers bave been
producing tbeir work by lithography. It
has become an artistic creation. Wood
cuts may be aa flue and delicate as etch
ings, but in poster work they depended on
tbeir coarseness. They needed to be bold
and conspicuous, and the printing of them
required such a great amount of ink that
my fine work that might have been done
npoa them would have clogged up and be
come a great blot. The old fashioned poster
picture was always a wood cut and was
always coarse aud rude.
With the advent of lithography Into the
business not only artistic drawing but bril
liant color effects became possible. The
Americans found few artists here who were
accustomed to the work. There were fa
mous painters who were masterly in their
nse of colors, but it was not possible to em
ploy them in a calling that had not then
attracted wide attention and that in all
probability never will rank nearer than
couainshlp to high art. Moreover, lithog
raphy is a science by itself. It does not
permit the execution of the design that is
aimed at It requires the artist to reach
an effect indirectly by drawing a picture
as a looking glass reflects a figure, with the
right side of the stone making the left side
of the finished work. The best artists who
have mastered this trick are the cartoonists
upon the leading weekly papers that pro
duce pictures in colors.
The number of men who were competant
to produce the American poster of today
was very small when the printers took up
lithography. Europe, however, was a rich
treasury of clever draftsmen and color
iata, who were trained to lithographic work.
To Knrope the American poster priuters
went for their talent, and the consequence
has been that today the leading poster art
ists in this country are nearly all Euro
peans. They are Frenchmen, Germans and
Russians. They have been imported in
this country as fast as they have attracted
attention in their own capitals, and the
custom of recruiting their ranks with men
of their own nationalities still goes on.
The American poster is, therefore, in one
sense a foreign product. The artists, the
process, the lithographic stones all are
brought from abroad. Even some of the
paper in use on the dead walls of the coun
try, though made here, is manufactured of
fiber that is imported.
But the finished product of this foreign
combination is as truly American aa the
enterprise and judgment that led up to it.
So American is our poster, in fact, that to
day the most attractive fence and wall ad
vertising done in London, Paris, Madrid
and Berlin U printed in Cincinnati and New
York. It is not merely the Barnum circus,
the Kiralfy spectacle or the series of Yan
kee patent medicines that are thus exploit
ed abroad. The Europeans themselves send
here to get their posters. It U a curious
circumstance that the same artist who in
Paris turned out an artistic but old fash
ioned, unattractive little placard now sends
from America to the same Paris firm the
stunning, showy, beautiful designs that are
everywhere classified as American.
There are no secrets in the making of the
new style poster except that the biggest,
most successful printers are those that em
ploy the best talent, show the most enter
prise and spend the most money for the
best materials and machinery. They give
out the figure work to the figure men, the
lettering to the best designers, the color
work to the men whose skill as colorista
has attracted wide attention. Tbey pay
good wages. There are poster artists who
are getting tl5,Got) a year, or perhaps more
than any painter or illustrator on any mag
azine or in any studio in this city.
The fidelity of the likenesses to the
originals in the theatrical bills is due to
photography. There are no portrait paint
ers in the new poster shops. The actor or
actress who is to be portrayed as in the
case of the famous portraits of Mr. Crane
as the Senator and Johnstone Bennett as
Jane were, if they are like the rest of their
kind, photographed up to the required size,
and then the photograph was used as the
basis of the drawing or painting. Effective
scenes and situations are seen by the artist
in the same way that any spectator in an
orchestra chair sees them, except that the
actors and actresses often pose for him
alone, and their photographs are carried
away by him in his notebook.
It has been said that nearly all the lead
ing pouter artists are foreigners. It is true
therefore that a few are Americans. One
of the very best of them, whose figure work
attracted wide attention, was a Mr. Crane,
who until lately lived and worked in this
city, and there, are now in town at least
two other first class figure men, who, like
half a dozen famous painters and illus
trators, graduated from the art depart
ment of the now defunct Daily Graphic.
To step aside from the actual poster, there
are found in the workshops of the great
bank note companies other Americans, em
ployed as designers in the main. The good
work done on our dead walls has wrested
praise from the men who are engaged in
the higher lines of artist industry. It was
at a dinner to Henry E. Abbey, when the
best artists in the country were present, a
couple of years ago, that a toast was drunk
to the American poster. With no un
healthy prejudice to break down, and in
view of the money that tbe printers are
spending, it is safe to predict that Amer
icans will contribute more and more to tbe
glory and success of our poster until at
last it will be American in fact, from its
ink surface to the paste on its back, with
all which that implies. New York Sun.
Baee Track Slang In a Legislature.
Race track slang was very prevalent
in Trenton during the late session. "Has
the bell rung yetr" was the query of a
statesman when he wanted to know if
the house had been called to order.
What's the row in tbe stand?" was
asked when there was a delay. The
pages spoke of "weighing In" when they
reported to the sergeant-at-arms, and
when they were tardy in doing an errand
they said they "got into a pocket" or "in
to tbe rack."
Where is the assembly chamber?"
asked a mild old Quaker one day of a :
J ,
page.
"Any of dem gates to the right,'' the
boy replied.
Doors were gates at the capitol.
"Is the house in session now?" inquired
the Quaker.
Naw. dey'ae only sprinklln the
track."
"What did thee say, my little man?"
"Dey'se sprinklin the track. De bell
won't ring for half an hour yet."
The Quaker "caught on" in a little
while. Cor. Philadelphia Hecord.

THE NEW PLANTERS' HOTEL
St. Louie Terr Proud of the B accessor to m
Iliatorie Hostelry.
St Louis is more than proud of her new
Planters' hotel, which supersedes and
stands upon the site of the long famous
Planters'. Tbe old hotel was first opeued
to guests on April 1, 1841, and was long
not only the finest hotel In tho west, but so
much liner than all In the southwest that
no comparison was attempted. Deaplte the
wonderful Improvement, the new Plant
ers' only ranks as one of many fine hotels
In the west, but the builders have almost
achieved the long desired result of being
able to give every guest a front room.
This Is accomplished by letting in two
alleys, so to speak, which extend from the
third story up, thus giving that part of
the hotel the form of a reversed K as for
back as the alleys extend. The frontage
on Fourth street Is 2 .'SO feet, covering the
whole block from Chestnut to Pine street;
but, counting the alleys or Inlets named,
there Is for guestrooms a total frontage of
7 HO feet, and as each alley Is 76 feet deep
and 4tl feet wide there are practically
three hotels, so far as light and air are con
cerned. The building Is full ten stories,
besides a basement and a half story In tbe
back part, above which are the sleeping
rooms for the servants. There are 414

drawn by Mr. M. G. Isaacs and modified
somewhat by Mr. Isaac Taylor. The ex
ternal style is that known as the adapted

It was In 1836 that the plans were per
fected for building the old Planters' hotel.
Ground therefor was broken In March,
1887, and the first meal served to guests
was a late afternoon dinner on April 1,
1841. The Incorporated company which
mint it consisted of Judge J. a. V. Lucas,
Pierre Chouteau, Jr., John Korr. Asa
Wilgus, Colonel John O'Kallon and oth

partners, ran the hotel from Its opening
till 1864. Hatch Be Felt then ran it till
April 1, 1805, when It was olosiid for the

California, in her golden prime, never beforo achieved bo
grand a triumph as at tho Midwinter Fair just closed.
Anions tho honors conferred at tho fair was bestowal of
tho highest award Including gold medal, on
Dr. Price's Baking Powder
As at the Columbian Exposition In Chicago, the award
to Dr. Trice's Cream Duking Powder at. San Francisco, was
for highest quality, demonstrated by expert analysis, under
direction of U. S. Oovernment Chemists. Tho requisites,
in each instance, wcro superiority in leavening power, per.
feet purity of constituents, uniformity and wholcsomeness.
Dr. Price's is thus confirmed and permanently established aa
positively tho
Best Baklntr Powder Ever Made.
Frauarad to Turn oa liar Tears.
Ouo young woman went to tho matinee
prepared for the affecting parts of the
play. Hhe carried lightly sewed In the
center of a second handkerchief a tiny
powder puff, which she proceeded to
dust with powder from a little enameled
box into which it lifted. With the pull
concealed iu tho handkerchief she calm
ly watched tho scene progress to tho
agouy point, ignoring the tears that, sure
enough, began presently to stream dowa
her checks. When thectirtuin (ell, how
ever, she took instaiit advantage of tho
momentary reaction of the audience, and
wiping her face with one handkerchief,
with the second she cleverly dusted her
too red nose and chucks with the toning
down powder, and beamed upon the wo
men abont her who were not fure armed.
