All dnulit about the Ktornire In
traiiMtt privilege Ik-Ihk extended to
weMttrn box applet tldw full Iium I . n
removed by the attltudo JiiMt uh
Miiined toward the matter by the
New York Central railroad.
The New York Ceutral haH come
out boldly tut the llrMt of the can tern
linen to publlHli ttM tariff on bos ap
ple from the north weMt under the
morale In traiiHlt prlvileKu. The
National Apple Shipper' AMxoclation
baH received word authorizing It to
ndvlHe that there U no longer nny
doubt about the concurrence of the
Kautern Trunk Linen In the rate of
f 1.10 per UK) pound betwe'ii the l'a
clllc count producing Hcctionx to
Mtoroge polutM up to and eiiMt of the
MltttilMMlppI and iK-tween Chicago uud
New York.
Certain partle In the apple trade
have been claiming that previous
pronouncementM to the effect that
the privilege applied to points eut
of Chicago were all unauthorized.
Tliene prophettj are now thoroughly
dlHcomlitted, for the matter would
appear to le Mettled beyond all per
uilventure. When the TraiiHContln
ental Freight liureau autliorlzed the
through rate of fl. 10, It wan put up
to the euHtern trunk Hue and Ceu
tral Freight Anxoclatlon for concur
rence of the Individual lluex. At firxt
there wuh some unxJety In the mlndrt
of thotte who were fighting for thin
privilege, hecauxe the euHtern trunk
linen, were not willing to accept the
dlvlHion of the rate oh miggctited by
the TranrK'ontluental Freight liureau
and for a tdiort time matters lookeil
a bit dubloUH. liut now the New
York Central linn taken the initiative
realizing the great need for thin priv
ilege and the ultimate revenue that
It I bound to bring the road. It
li an taken Independent action and. It
aliuoHt goct without Haying, the
competing line will find theniHelvcH

WEIGHED THE ELEPHANT.
A Problsm Whioh a Hindu Prineo Wa
Ablo to Solva.
There is a story often told In India
of Kbojee. a liludu prince, who on a
certain occasion allowed til nisei f al
most us clever as An tiimedes.
A uIkIi otllclul bnd lunde a row that
be would distribute to the poor the
weight of bis own elephant lu xllver
oiouey. Itut the great ditUculty that
at Urt presented Itself was the mode
ot ascertaining what this weight real
ly was. All the learned and clever
men of the court seemed to nave en
deavored In vain to eonsirui't a ma
chine of suUlcleut ower to weigh the
elephant.
At length Shajee camp forward nnd
suggested a plan which win simple
and yet Ingenious In the highest de
gree, lie caused the unwieldy animal
to he conducted along a stage special
ly made for the purpose by the water
side Into a flat bottomed Unit. Then,
having marked on the bout the height
to which the wuter reached after the
elephant bud weighed It down, the
latter was taken out and stones sub
stituted In Bulllcicnt quantity to bold
the boot to the same line. The stones
were then taken to the scales, and
thus, to the amazement of the court,
was ascertained the true weight of
the elephant Exchange.
FIGHTING FISH.
Hlieumatlsm cured. Ir. Sowcrbv.
In tha Rage of Battla They Turn From
Dull to Brilliant Colors.
In the gardens of Singapore It la the
custom to stock the ponds with all
manner of queer fishes, many of them
of the fighting variety so dear to the
heart of the orientals. This species of
fish Is so combative that It Is only nec
essary to place two of them near each
other, like fighting cocks, and perhaps
to Irritate them little to bring on a
lively conflict.
They at once charge each other with
fins erect, at the same time changing
color In their excitement from the dull
est of gray greens to brilliant reds and
blues. iDdeed, confinement In close
quarters Is not needed to arouse helr
combative propensities.
Tlace two glass Jars close together,
with one of these fighting fish in each
and they will at once swim round and
endeavor to charge each other through
the Interposed glass.
Even a single fish seelDg himself re
flected In a mirror will dart at his
own image and, irritated all the more
by his failure to reach his supposed
enemy, will assume the most brilliant
hues. Seeing his reflected antagonist
do the same, he will redouble his ef
forts to rearb him. Exchange.

a tonr of Europe and gave tbat conti
nent the big talk at every chance.
"Have you no South African
peaches?" they asked plaintively. "We
have been stopping at the Savoy in
liOndou. and there were plenty of
South African peaches."
The hotel manager was found. He
hastened to the complaining ones.
Certainly the hotel bad South African
peaches. They were Imported cspe

the same peach orchard that the Sa
voy's peaches did. The faces or the

think.

with a singular timidity.
"Three dollars each," sal a trie notel

they. The hotel manager expressed
his regret at the overcharge. lie said
thev mleht have them at the same
price that they paid at the Savoy In
London, and how many would tney
like to have?
"Haw. Alfred." said one of the plain-
tire traveled persons to the other
nlaintlve traveled person, "let ns have
haw one of those dean old fawshlon-

"Right, old dear," said Alfred.
Th hotel manager went away grin
ning softly to himself. He had never
bad any peaches from South Africa.

POSTAL PUZZLES.
They Ware Eaay Reading For Uncle
Sam' Clever Officials.
A letter with the addressee's face
roughly drawn on the envelope and the
words "Baltimore. MO.." following
wasn't too great a puzzle for the men
who decipher mall addresses for Un
cle Sam. The letter was sent from
Clarksburg. W. Va.. by J. M. Crouch.
When It reached the Baltimore post-
office the postmaster said It bad to be
delivered. Several of the experts were
puzzling over bow that trick could be
turned when the mall carrier In whose
district a big hotel Is walked up to a
group around the man holding the let
ter and said, "Why. that's Sam Hoo
ver, chief clerk of the hotel." And
It was for Sam, who opened it and
learned tbat bis friend wished to en
gage a room for that nigbb When
Crouch arrived at the hotel the room
was ready for him.
About twenty years ago a European
peasant mailed on the other side of the
Atlantic a letter the envelope of which
bore this sort of address:

Sbluble Glass.
In ISIS a German professor stumbled
npon the discovery of soluble glass,
which be made from elllca with soda
and potash combined. This Is now ex
tensively used for rendering wood
work incombustible and marble and
plaster secure against atmospheric
agents, as a vehicle for mineral col
ors. In a kind of fresco painting to be
exposed to the weather, in the manu
facture of artificial stone and In the
composition of fireproof cements for
stoves, etc.
About thirty years ago It was discov
ered that glass might be rendered ex
ceedingly hard by dipping It In oil
when at a certain degree of tempera
ture. The particles, however, seem
to be put In a state of high tension.
and the whole may suddenly fly into j
a thousand pieces. j
