THE OPEN DRAW.
"The closest ran I ever had in my life,"
said an engineering friend of mine one day,
"was once when I was fireman on a freight
train on theK Y. B. R. The engineer I
ran with was a Scotchman by the name of
Joe Williams.
"Joe had only one fault he drank.
"The time I refer to was the morning of
the Fourth of July. We were running
what was called the 'morning freight and
had to start everyday by 4:30. On this
morning Joe was late. In a few minutes
we got started, picked up our load and
were fairly off. It was a clear morning and
bid fair for a fine day, but about sunrise it
began to get misty, and we were soon en
veloped in one of the heaviest fogs I ever
saw.
"At H , Eben Capron, another engi
neer, who was off duty that day, got on
with us. He was going home to spend the
Fourth, and ours was the first conveyance
that came along. When be saw that it was
all that Joe could do to carry himself
straight, he offered to run the train for him
as far as he went, but Joe declined.
"Thicker and thicker came the fog until
we could scarcely see the length of two
cars ahead. Joe went very carefully indeed
and did not run as fast as is usual. In fact,
he went so slowly that at last Eben com
menced to banter him on the prospect of
getting to the end of the route sooner than
could naturally be expected.
"'Well, just look here,' said Joe. 'I'm
drank, and you know it, and if I should go
fast and run the train off the track I reckon
you'd both of you swear it was the fault
cf the drunken engineer.'
"By the time we got to C the fog had
partly lifted. Here we had a good deal of
switching to do, and just as we were ready
to start the conductor came up and said:
" 'Nothin for P ; keep straight through
to E . You have gone so confounded
slow that you are almost an hour behind
time. I should have harried you up if it
hadn't been for the fog. All right, go
ahead,' and he waved his hand and started
back toward the rear car.
"'Well, I'll go fast enough for you. if
that's what you want,' muttered Joe.
"Faster and faster we went until the
conductor evidently began to be afraid, for
it was still so foggy that we could not see
over half a mile ahead, and he signaled
'slower.'
" 'There,' said Eben, 'do you see that
You'll have the conductor here pretty soon.'
" 'Well, the fact is' and Joe slowly
winked one eye 'there's a vessel at P
waiting to pass, and I want to get over the
bridge before it's opened.'
"The river there was navigable and was
crossed by a drawbridge, and very often
we bad to stop and wait on one side to let
a vessel pass. When it was open, there was
a red ball hoisted in the daytime and a red
light at night.
" 'Then you are nearing it,' continued
Eben, 'for there's the last post before you
reach the river, and supposing the draw is
open. Joe, you bad better slack up.'
"'What for? The signal isn't raised.'
" 'But you couldn't see it for the fog.'
" 'Oh, .pshaw! there isn't any fog now.
" 'Yes, there is a fog now. For God's
sake, Joe, don't murder us! Here, let me
take your place until we get across.'
"The sentence was never finished. He
was standing up, looking oat ahead, when
all at once, as if he had been struck by a
cannon shot, he dropped into his seat, and
his fuce turned as white as a bleached sheet,
whik vhe black streaks of Boot and grease
stood out in horrible contrast. He had seen
the red signal! I whistled down brakes,
and he grasped the lever and reversed the
engine.
"The conductor crazily signaled 'stop'
after he had heard the whistle and when
the train was running by its own momen
tum. "As to Joe, be saw that everything was
done or being done, and he sat there like a
block of marble. His drunkenness was all
gone. His first words were (and he spoke
like a man talking in his sleep):
" 'Well, boys, I'll never get drunk any
more as long as I live.'
" 'No, I s'pose not,' replied Eben, as he
gave the lever another jerk, 'for probably
you won't live more than a quarter of a
minute.'
" 'Jump, if you want to,' Joe answered;
'I hope I shall die if the train gets smashed.
But that craft isn't moving; the end of
the bridge is swinging toward us'
" 'That's so; they are shutting it. God
help us, we may be saved yet.'
"Sure enough, the bridge was rapidly
swinging into place. The tender had evi
dently seen us coming and was trying to
close the draw against we came up, but it
was a doubtful case.
"We had got so near now that we could
see the man on the bridge working as if
his own life, not ours, depended on his ef
forts. Eben was hugging the lever with
all his might, and Joe had convulsively
grasped one of the forward faucets as if to
steady himself, and for the last five sec
onds of that awful suspense I do not be
lieve there was a single heart beat on the
engine.
"Three ticks more of the clock and we
should have rolled over the abutment, but
with a thud the bridge swung to its place,
and we were on it and passing over safe and
sound.
-' 'God bless yon. Smith P shouted Joe to
the bridge tender as we ran past, and he
waved bis cap with wild joy.
"We afterward learned that the bridge
was open to let a small vessel pass, but the
bridge tender heard the train and knew by
the sound that it was coming at an unusual
rate of speed. Suspecting something was
wrong, he signaled the vessel to stop and
closed the bridge as quick as he could, and
as it proved just in time to save us all from
destruction. "-Exchange.

QUEER FREAKS OF NATURE.
Occasions When the Sun Became a Black
and Deadened Orb.
The ancient historians mention sev
eral instances of the sun "going out"
or failing to shine and give forth its
usual amount of beat and light for pe
riods of time varying in length from
three hours to several months. Accord
ing to Plutarch, the year 44 B. C. was
one in which the sun was "weak and
pale" for a period approximating 11
months.
The Portuguese historians record
"several months of diminished son
light" in the year 934 A. D., and, ac
cording to Humboldt, this uncanny pe
riod ended with "strange and startling
sky phenomena, such as load atmos
pheric explosions, rifts in the vaulted
canopy of blue above and in divers other
rare and unaccountable freaks." In the
year 1091, on Sept 29 (see Humboldt's
"Cosmos"), the sun turned suddenly
black and remained so for three hours
and did not regain its normal condition
for several days. According to the noted
Hehnuth's "Solar Energy," the days of
seeming inactivity on the part of the
gun, the days following the sndden
blackening of the great orb. Were noted
for a peculiar greenish tinge and are
marked in old Spanish, French and Ital
ian records as "the days of the green
sun." February, 1106 A. D., is noted
in the annals of marvelous phenomena
as a month in which there were several
days that "the sun appeared dead and
black, like a great circular cinder float
ing in the sky. "
"On the last day of Febrnary, 1206,"
says Cortevza, an old Spanish writer on
astronomy, astrology and kindred sub
jects, "the sun appeared to suddenly go
out, causing a darkness over the country
for about six houra " In 1241 the Euro
pean countries experienced another siege
of supernatural darkness, which the
superstitious writers of that time attrib
uted to God's displeasure over the result
of the great battle of Liegnitz. St
Louis Republic.
BOTH FOOD AND POISON.
The Wonderful Qualities of the Cassava
Plant or Brazil.
Among the plants whioh supply food
for man a foremost place must be given
to the cassava or manioc plant, from
which Bio tapioca is prepared, being a
native of Rio de Janeiro and the warm
provinces of Santa Catherina, Brazil,
South America, where they employ im
proved machinery for preparing it, mak
ing it worth 18 cents per pound in the
latter province.
The height to which the cassava plant
attains varies from 4 to 6 feet It rises
by a slender, woody, knotted stalk, fur
nished with alternate palmated leaves,
and springs from a tough, branched
j woody root the tender collateral fibers
of whioh swell into farinaceous parsnip
like tubers, brown externally and of
great size, sometimes weighing 80
pounds.
The rind being removed, the tubers
are reduced to a pulp by rasping or by
holding them against a wheel or grind
stone. The pulp is washed with water,
pressed and baked upon iron plates and
now becomes Bio tapioca, while the
starch floats off in the water, in which
form it is imported under the name of
Brazilian arrowroot
Life and death are strangely blended
in the cassava root The juice is a rap
idly destroying poison, the meal a nu
tritious and agreeable food. The poison
ous juice of the tubers is removed by
heat or washing, but if the recently ex
tracted juice be drunk by cattle they
soon die in convulsions. If it is boiled
with meat and seasoned, it forms a
wholesome and very nutritions soup. In
Jamaica they make use of it to preserve
the meat game, poultry, eta, that are
left after meals in what is known as the
pepper pot one family having kept a
pot in use for this purpose for over 20
years. Epicure.
For Bicycle.
An ingenious device is for looking the
steering gear for bicycles. By a turn of
the key, it is stated, the front wheel of
the machine can be locked in any posi
tion. If the bicycle is left standing at
the side of the pavement with the steer
ing gear locked and a thief jumps on to
ride off With it, he will soon find him
self in difficulties. The locking appa
ratus is very small. It adds but a few
ounces to the weight of the machine,
and unless one looked for it specially it
would quite escape notice. The con
struction is said to be simple and can
not get out of order, and it can be made
and applied at a small cost Invention.

WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE
PROMINENT PERSONAGES FROM
FAR AND NEAR.
People Who Have Gained Distinction
in Their Particular Sphere in life,
Both in This Country and Abroad
Webber S. Seavey.
As president of the National Chief
of Police Union, Webber S. Seavey will
be the most prominent figure at the
second annual meeting of theat body,
to occur May 14, at Washington. Mr.
Seavey was born at Crawford, Me., in
1841. He was educated at the public
schools and when 19 worked his way to
Denver, Colo. Then came the begin
ning of the rebellion' and he enlisted
during the war. He took part in
many battles and skirmishes and was
twice taken prisoner but each time
made his escape. At the close of the
war he was mustered out of the service
and for the seven years following en
gaged in various occupations. In 1879
he went to Valparaiso, South America,
and for the next seven years was a
trader between that city, South Africa,
Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and
the Fiji and Sandwich islands. Then
he returned to his native country, set
tling in Omaha, Neb., where he was
appointed chief of police in 1887. He
organized the National Chiefs of Police
Union in 1893 and was elected its pres
ident, which position he still retains.
Willie" Don.
The arrival of British professional
golf players in America marks the
opening of the golf season here. Among
those who recently landed is "Willie"
Dun, who last fall captured the
American championship, besides, win
ning high honors abroad. He lives at
Biarritz, a small town near Pau, in
Southern France. He is a Scotchman
by birth, however, and comes of an old
family of golfers, his father and brother
having been famous players. Several
prominent clubs are anxious to secure
his services to instruct their members
and he announces that he will prob
ably take charge of one of them. He
is prepared to defend his title as cham
pion golfer of America and it is quite
probable that some interesting contests
will take place during the coming sea-
Wilfred Laurier.
. The present dissensions in the Cana
dian cabinet gives an opportunity to
the Liberal party, which has long been
overshadowed by the opposition. The
leader of the Liberals is the Hon. Wil
fred Laurier, who with his followers,
is ready to make some bold moves. He
is the descendant of an excellent French
family and was born in 1841 at St
Lin, L'Assomption, Quebec He was
educated at L'Assomption college and
became a lawyer in 1880, and was ap
pointed queen's counsel. In 1871 he
was returned to the Quebec legislature,
where he has since been a leader of the
liberals. He is said to be an eminent
jurist, a writer of recognized fame and
an unexcelled orator. He was mar
ried, in 1868 to Miss Zoe Lafontaine,
of Montreal.
England and America.
When Lucan spoke of a more than civil
war, he must surely have alluded to such
a war as would be waged between Great
Britain and North America. The parent
devastating the inheritance of the child,
kindred hands employed in rooting up that
prosperity, the increase of which has over
flowed in a tide of riches into this island,
are subjects too painful for contemplation
and from which the mind of every English
man turns aside with unconquerable dis
gust. -
Let us have war if need be with any
other nation, but not with those colonies,
the proudest historic monument we pos
sess, the most enduring memorial of Anglo-Saxon
greatness. Robert Lowe.
Haabonaland's People.
Mr. Selous is of opinion that the native
race now scattered over a large extent of
Mashonaland, where there are ruined and
ancient gold workings, are descended from
commercial people who some 8,000 years
ago penetrated from southern Arabia to
Mashonaland.
HOW PAPER MONEY 18 MADE.
Uncle Sam's Expert Engravers and th
"Wonderful Geometric Lath,
If you will look at the pictures upon a
dollar bill, you will see that the portrait of
Martha Washington or of Stanton Is com
posed altogether of curved or straight lines
the only kind of engraving that is al
lowed to be done in the bureau, because
unless it is done in this manner, and un
less the lines .are cut very deep, the en'
gravings cannot be used. Now, this por
trait was engraved in a piece of steel by
the use of a very sharp little Instrument
known as a graver.
Every little scratch on the steel plate
will, in printing, show a black line, so you
will see how very careful the engraver has
to be that he shall not make any false
scratches, and that the lines shall be just
so long and just so broad.
Now, steel engraving is the direct op
posite of wood engraving. The scratches
and cuts made, on a wooden block will be
white in the print, and it is only the un
cut portions of the block that print black,
while on the steel the unscratched portion
leaves the paper white.
When a design has been cut on a steel
plate, and it is ready to be printed, the
ink is put on the plate, or block, and all
the cuts and scratches become filled with
ink. Then the ink is carefully rubbed off
of the surface, so that none remains ex
cept what is in the lines. When a piece of
dampened paper is placed on the plate and
subjected to very heavy pressure, it sinks
into the lines, and when it is taken off it
draws the ink out with it, and thus the
picture is printed on the paper.
It takes an engraver about six weeks or
two months to complete one portrait, and
a man who engraves the portraits never
does any other kind of engraving. Each
engraver does only a certain portion of the
work on a note. No one is permitted to
engrave an entire note. So that besides
the portrait engravers there are some who
do nothing but engrave the figures, the
seal, the lettering, the border, etc. In this
way it would be impossible for an en
graver to make a complete engraving for
his own use if he were dishonest enough
to want to do such a thing.
Besides this manual work some of the
engraving is done by machinery, as, for
example, the background of the portrait
and of the borders and the shading of the
letters, this being done by what is known
as the ruling machine, which can rule sev
eral hundred perfectly straight lines with
in an inch. The intricate scroll and lace
like work around the figures on the face
and the back of the note is done by a won
derful machine known as the geometric
lathe. This machine consists of a large
number of wheels of all sizes and in all
sorts of arrangements, together with a
complicated mechanism of eccentrics and
rods, all of which is incomprehensible to
any one but an expert machinist.
By a proper adjustment of its parts the
delicate diamond point that moves about
over the face of the steel is made to work out
a perfect and artiHtio pattern with great
er accuracy and much more speed than
could be done by hand, and hence this del
icate and intricate part of the engraving
is one of the greatest obstacles with which
the counterfeiter has to contend, for he
finds it next to impossible to imitate it
correctly.
Fortunately for Uncle Sam, the geomet
ric lathe is a very complicated and very
expensive machine, and the counterfeiter
is generally a poor man, and even if he
did manage to lay up enough money to
buy the lathe it is hardly likely he would
live long enough to learn how to use it
properly, for there are only four men in
the world who understand how to operate
it. . I,
Indeed the man who now has charge of
the geometric lathe at the bureau of en
graving and printing is the only one in
the United States at the present time who
knows how to manage it, and if anything
should happen to him it might tangle mat
ters up for awhile in this important branch
of our Uncle Sam's big government. St.
Nicholas. .
Beindeer.
M. Nordenskiold, in his voyage in .the
Vega to the Asiatic shore of Behring sea,
noticed a marked difference between the
Dog Chukchs, the inhabitants of the shore,
and the Reindeer Chukchs of the interior.
The latter were better clothed and in bet
ter circumstances. Both showed a kind,
ness to their animals unusual in semisav
age peoples.
The coast Chukchs always carried dog
shoes, neatly made of bags of soft leather,
with straps attached, to put on their dogs'
feet if cut by the sharp snow.
The herd of a Reindeer Chukch came
down from the pasture every morning to
meet their master. The leading stag came
first and bade him good morning by gen
tly rubbing his nose against his master's
hands. All the other deer were then al
lowed to do the sameT the master taking
each by the horn and carefully examining
its condition. The inspection over, the
whole herd wheeled and returned to the
pasture. It would be difficult to name an
other beast of burden so tame and so effi
cient as the reindeer.
A good reindeer will travel 100 miles a
day over frozen snow and can draw a
weight of 800 pounds, thus surpassing the
dog by one-half in distance and two-thirds
in drawing power. London Spectator.
Value of Illiterate Autographs.
It is a well known fact that the generals
of the Revolution were, many of them,
exceedingly illiterate men and far from
model letter writers. A very cursory view
of their epistolary efforts is sufficient to
convince one that they had as little regard
for the king's English as they had for bis
subjects, and that they murdered the one
while telling of the killing of the other.
This, however, detracts nothing from the
value of their autograph letters. In fact,
it is painful to note, but none the less true,
that the autograph collector is continually
paying a premium on illiteracy, for the
letters of a man whose feats of bravery en
title him to a high place among the nota
bles of the land, but who finds it less of a
task to win a battle than to sign his name,
make the most valuable part of a collec
tion they are bo rare and so difficult to
obtain. Boston Transcript.
American Theater Audiences.
Taken all in all, American audiences are
much more quiet and attentive than Eng
lish audiences, and the actors are nearly
always sure of a respectful hearing. Now
and then there is some annoyance occasion
ed by the chatting of theater parties in the
boxes, as was the case one evening this
week, when the occupants of some of the
boxes talked and laughed so unceasingly
and so audibly that they not only failed
themselves to follow the play, in which
they probably were not interested, but pre
vented those who came to the theater for
the sake of the play from hearing what
was going on on the stage, while the ac
tors were equally disturbed and could not,
of course, do full justice to their roles.
