Without this support he must have lost his balance, for he used no crutches, and it appeared that his hands were the only propelling power he could use. The poor wretch's overcoat was longer than he was, and the skirts of it were spread out around him on the walk, while before him lay his hat upturned for alms, says the Chicago Times. lie needed the aid of no verbal appeal. Everyone- noticed him, and almost all gave of their substance. A gambler dropped in a dollar and felt that he had earned luck for a week. Pretty girls aud their attentive companions reduced their pocket money. Even an Italian fruit vender passing dropped a dime in the hat with the thought that this was his Easter offering, if a little late. Contributions were rapidly trans ferred to the substantial leather pocket in the raggeil overcoat. The man seemed to be gett ing uneasy. At hist the hat was emptied and returned to the other post of service on his head. Two ' men came hurriedly out of the store in front of which the beggar had been transacting business and walked over to a pile of lumber. "Get out," said one to the cripple. "We want to IniHtle tins lumber into the basement," And the deformed wretch placed his hands on the pavement, gave a hitch and a scramble, aud drew out of a coal hole apairof excellent legs, terminated by equally serviceable feet, which had been resting on the pile of coal under the sidewalk. Several dollars' worth of tho coin of the republic jingled in his pockets as he entered the double hinged, back-action doors of the nearest institution for the amelioration of arid suffering. , DEFIES THE FIRE FIEND A Jiow Flume Quencher Invented In Swlts y ertuiHlMiicccMBful Kxpcrlinents. I Recent foreign journals speak of a most remarkable fire extinguishing agent, the invention of a gentleman of Lucerne, Switzerland. This chemical compound is stated to be nine times mure effective than ordinary water, and among its other qualities possesses tho valuable faculty of rendering individ uals virtually lireproof. A number of experiments have been made to prove its efficiency, and the Insurance News, of Manchester, England, says concern ing the tests that the impunity with which the exhi bit orsiipproiir lied masses of llame gave them almost the appear ance of being in their natural element. When the hands are dipped in this solu tion burning materials may he manipu lated with perfect safety. The first ex periment was supposed to represent the upsetting of a parulline lump, the oil flowing in a stream over the table cloth and immediately blazing up in n furious llame. Ity simply passing the hands wet with the solution over the burning cloth this llame was speedily extinguished, although the table itself had caught fire, and the exhibitor ap peared to be in no little danger. In the next test a mass of pitch was ignited in a sum II pit and allowed to be come thoroughly lighted, the smoke and flames rising up in volumes. The application of two buckets of the solu tion had an almost magical effect, the flames dying down at once, while not only the tire, but even the heat arising therefrom entirely disappeared, the pitch becoming at once quite cold. The linal experiment, which was considered tho most elllcient, as the fire was open and unconlincd in every direction, con sisted in extinguishing the flames in a wooden structure made of a mass of staves saturated with paralliue oil. When ignited this combination gave forth an enormous volume of heat. To extinguish this a small hand engine holding about thirty gallons of the agent was employed, and as a result of a few strokes of the pump the flames were wholly subdued. WHY BICYCLES ARE COSTLY. They Are Made with llreiit Cure on the lilter.-lmngclhle Principle, The Irou Age attempts to explain why II high grade bicycle costs so much why the price of it puts it out of the reach of the ordinary working manor woman. In the first place the bicycle must be made on the interchangeable principle, so that a missing or broken part can be supplied by the factory at once. All of such parts undergo a rigid system of inspection, being subjected to the severe strains which they must stand while the machine is in use. Main parts, like the sprocket wheel, hubs, bearing, etc., are gugued, the allow ance for variation being one-quarter of a thousandth. A variation in excess of this throws the piece out. The method of "stringing" the wheel is thus de noribcd: "The outer ends of the spokes are threaded in order to enter the hard ened brass nipple, the cap of which is, of t airse, on the outer side of the rim. The boy who striugs the wheel up merely tightens the nipples suffi ciently to hold the port together. After this the wheel goes to an expert work man, who tightens the sooIicn. brine-ino 5? irr r rout las K-jcUrying pills euro constipation Prentiss itiTii tying pills euro constipation them all undor the desired tension. The wheel is then mounted on the axle and turned, a piece of chalk held near the rim serving to indicate any irregularity. To correct such defects and make the wheel perfectly true the nipples are tightened or loosened. This is a sim ple matter, and yet one requiring great judgment." The brazing of the joints and the making of the felloe or iron to receive the rubber tire are also opera tions requiring the greatest precision and delicacy of handling. In short, there is no part of the modern bicycle that can be turned out without the closest attention to-detail. The day ha-s not come when it can be made factory fashion. LINCOLN'S HAT. All Old-Fashloned Tile with an Interest ing: History. There was nothing of the swell about Abraham Lincoln, says the New York World. In tho matter of his personal attire he was decidedly careless. It was a matter of supreme indifference to him whether his clothes fitted him or not. He had other things to think about. Thus it (if ten happened that when his hat began to look the worse for wear he neglected to replace it witli e new one. When on his way to Washington to be inaugurated as president of the United States he passed through New York. The almost studied negligence which characterized his apparel excited much mirth and ridicule. Hut the keen est shafts of ridicule were aimed at his hat, an exceedingly seedy-looking "stovepipe.'" It was publicly dubbed "that shoelving hat." This didn't worry Lincoln a bit, but it pained some of his sensitive friends very much. So they arranged a little scheme to secure an exchange of "tiles" which would give the president a presentable hat. The dimensions of Lincoln's cranium were secretly but accurately ascer tained, and a brand new hat was pro vided that would exactly fit him. Things were so fixefd that when the pro cession which was escorting Lincoln passed up Itroadway the carriage in which he was seated halted just oppo site the store of a popular hatter. Out rushed the hatter with the hat which the committee of Li ir'oin's friends had selected, and begged the precious priv ilege of exchanging it for the one which Lincoln wore. Without any suspicion that he was the vi"tim of a "put up job" Lincoln gnod-iiatuivdly complied with the request. The late William (iib;; in, one of New York's greatest curio and relic hunters, secured the "shocking hat" and it figured conspicuously at many fairs and exhibitions for charitable purposes. When Mr. Gibson die I, some eight years ngo, the hut passed to one of his sons, who kept it under a glass globe in his factory. There it was seen recently by h It. Kiildenberg, of this city. lie wrote to his friend ('. !'. (lUnther, of Chicago, who has a large collection of Lincoln relics, about it. Mr. (iunther opened up negotiations and purchased for a good round sum tho hat, which is intrinsically not worth live cents. The hat is an ordinary old-fashioned "stove-pipe" and was made by a hatter at Springlield, III., named George Hall. It is lined inside with paper in imitation of silk anil on it, in pencil, Lincoln had written his name and address: "A. Lincoln, Springlield, 111." 1 1 is this auto graph which adds so immensely to the value of the lint. STRANGE, BUT TRUE. ItuoctB ('an Find Their Homes Under the (Irentest lHHleultlcs. Exactly how insects, especially bees and ants, find their way back after hav ing flown or been taken some miles from the home hive or ant hill, is one of the mysteries of animated nature. A young naturalist, who lived four teen miles from a large city, fre quently made it a point to test this homing instinct in the common Italian bee. He would carefully color their wings with red, blue or violet ink, pack them snugly in a box and carry them to the very heart of the city before releas i ing them, says the Philadelphia Press. With few exceptions they were at homo working away unconcernedly when the experimenter returned in the evening. On one occasion, accord ing to a nrearraiu'ed l.lrm. lie i turned six bees loose in the city at six I o'clock in the morning. He hail previ ously colored the wings of each with red ink, so that bis confederate and eo- experimenter, a sister who also had an entomological taste, could not possibly be mistaken as to tho exuet time of their arrival. I The first one reached the home hive at twenty-two minutes past two. He fore five three more of them hud safely arrived, but were seemingly much fa tigued. ! At nightfall the fifth and sixth of the home-loving little insects had not put in an appearance. Bright and early the next morning, however, the young sei ; enlists were overjoyed to find all tho red-winged honey gatherers humming merrily about their work. Experiments with largo black ants 1 were equally satisfactory. The same I scientist tied yellow silk about the ! "waists' of three large-sized specimens that lived in a hollow tree in the heart of a large wood. These were carried distances varying from one to five miles from their homes, but Invariably re turned within a surprisingly short nme. .,- put up in neat wHfch-slittncubntttes.sugtu Ootuml, Small Uil Uooiu.

" Until recently the view obtained cur rency in scientific circles that tne dia mond originated in some secret process in the depths of the earth and was brought to the surface along with its matrix, the "blue earth," by volcanic action: but this view is no longer tena ble. The diamond is not thrown up from the depths, but falls from the heights! This, at least, is the conclu sion to which we are at length being forced, says an exchange. The meteoric theory has recently re ceived important confirmation. Great masses of meteoric iron are found in Arizona and a piece of this was for warded to I err Konig for examination. The iron proved exceedingly hard and it was only with the greatest difficulty that it was cut through. The cut passed through a hollow which on ex amination was found to contain dia monds. They are certainly small and black and of very little commercial value, but all the greater in their sci entific significance. There were other hollows filled with black eoal, a piece of which, on being treated with nitric acid, revealed a minute white diamond. This is the first discovery of diamonds in me teoric iron. Is the diamond really a stranger here on earth, a wanderer from remote re gions of space? Are the glittering stars diamond factories? Is the moon furrowed by meteorites, richer in dia monds than the earth? Most probably for it has no oxygen atmosphere in .i,;,.li tl,o itSnmoTifls cnnld be consumed ' nn tin,!,. nfiuunrn t Vir-nii frh it.. And when a shooting star "goes out" when a meteor flashes on its fiery course is it a diamond that lights its path by combustion? It may be that ftie fire balls that gleam for a moment mark the combus tion of a diamond's priceless value. On the other hand it may lie that combus tion is supported simply by coal. Where lies the diamond land? Who sent to earth the carbon crystal for which men so often resign what is of more value than even the Koh-i-noor honor, faith, justice? SPEED OF ..SHOOTING STARS, Swarms of Them Flashing Through Space at a l'rodigious Kate. The shooting stars are small bodies, weighing, at most, a few pounds, and consisting mainly of iron and carbon. They traverse space in swarms and also revolve around tlio sun in long, ellip tical courses like the comets. When these little bodies enter the earth's orbit they are deflected toward the earth and Public Opinion says great numbers are seen in a single night. Their bright ness is due to the heat engendered by the energy of their motion. Their speed is enormous, viz. : Forty-two and a half kilometers a second, while the speed of the earth on its orbit is only twenty five kilometers a second, forward. Con sequently when a shower of them ap proaches the earth in the direction op posite to its course, the initial speed is seventy-two kilometers a second; when they follow on its course they gain six teen and a half kilometers a second on it, their mean rate of approach being thirty to forty kilometers a second. The friction engenders a temperature of three thousand dugrees Celsius, sub ject to which they burst into flame. If under these conditions their substance is not vaporized, they pass through and beyond the upper strata of our at mosphere and pursue their proper course around the sun; but as a rule they are vaporized, in which case the vapor mingles with the atmosphere, to fall later as meteoric dust. In this manner we come in contact annually with one hundred and forty-six milliards of shooting stars, which add considera bly to the earth's substance. FOOD OF AN ANCIENT PEOPLE. They Fed on Spoils of the Chase and Had Several Domesticated Animals. Plentifully scattered through the relic beds of Switzerland's lakes are fragmentary remnants of its ancient people's food. We learn that they were not cannibals, for, amid a profusion of animal bones, very few of the human species have been detected. The de posits of the earliest settlements prove that the inhabitants were ardent hunt ers, and then largely fed on the spoils of the chase. Hut in after ages, when farming occupations were followed to a greater extent, the flesh of tamed ani mals was chiefly eaten. The bones have mostly been split open, doubtless for the purpose of extracting the mar row. Among the animals domesticated by the lake dwellers were the ox, the sheep and the goat. Their stalls, like their masters' dwellings, were upon the water; ami quantities of the litter pro vided for them have been found in the mud of the lakes. Moss, which has also been largely discovered, is thought by the Gentleman s Magazine to have formed the sleeping couches of the household. Numerous wild fruits, such as apples, pears, plums, raspberries and nuts, were included in the vegetable diet of these Swiss aborigines; and the detection of apple parings testified to a certain nicety in their cuisine. They cultivated the common cereals, wheat and barley; and ilat, round cakes have been disinterred, and also several stones, between which the grain was ground. rtaguo of Hodents In Scotlnud Tho London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian throws new light on the so-called plague of "mice" in the south of Scotland. It appears that the vermin are not mice, but voles. They are larger than mice, with shorter tails, and are declared to differ from ordinary mice qust as much as hares differ from rabbits. They have destroyed or are destroying the vegetation over many square miles of upland pastures in sev eral counties, as they swarm in millions upon the hills and are rapidly multi plying. Their presence in such vast numbers has by some unknown means attracted from the continent a large number of short-eared owls, which were previously unknown in the district. A similar visitation of voles upon a still larger scale took place in the sixteenth century. A Million Friend.

SOUKCE A CANINE ROBBEK. rho Four-Footed Assistant Mexican Bandit. of a traveler, Selied by the Hut, Brute and Beld While HU Muter Believed Them of Their Valuables. For over a year the people living within a radius of twenty miles of this place, savs a City of Mexico correspond ent of the St. Louis Glolie-Democrat, have been in a state of semipanie over the strange attacks which' have been made upon travelers who are compelled t t .ftOT nic-htfall.

When consciousness returned, in every instance the victim found him self lying with a bleeding - throat and his pockets rifled of all their contents.

He was in sight of the lights of the city and began to feel that he had safely passed the danger when he saw an animal leaping toward him. He had just time to notice the animal when it leaped at his throat anu oore mm imm h e hnrsn to the erounu. II is armor served well, however, and inimal could not get a grip on throat. the his Penez had his revolver ready, and pressing it against the suit! 01 nis assail ant fired a shot which rolled it over. Then iust. as he was ris.ing, he was igain attacked, but this time by a man who struck him with a club. The blow ivas not severe enough to do much harm, and in the hand-to-hand conflict which followed Penez got the. better of his adversary and stunned him. He bounil the man and brought him to the tv.

BEARS IN PENNSYLVANIA. They Are More l'lcntlfut Than They Were Forty Years Atro. "It may sound strange and improba ble," said Phin Anderson, a veteran woodsman of northeastern Pennsylva- a, to a New Yorkouia man, "but ltis a fact, nevertheless, that bears are be coming more plentiful every year in the lumber regions of Pen nsylvania. I have a theory to explain this whielj may seem paradoxical, but, 1 believe it is cor rect, all the same. There are more bears to-day in Pike,, Monroe, Clinton, Potter and other backwoods counties in Pennsylvania than there were forty years ago, for the reason that the woods have gradually disappeared. I have been laughed at scores of times for ad vancing such a theory, but no onein the backwoods denies that bears are more plentiful, and certainly no onecandeny that woods are much, less in area than forty years ago. It i:i very plain to me. When the timber was thick the bears were compelled to skirmish more for food and had to depend to a great ex tent on root s and bar k and on the rather scanty supplies which the sheepfolds and pigsties of the scattered settlers af forded. The clearin g away of the woods has been followed by the appearance in limitless areas of a.ll kinds of berries, which bears especially relish and on which they thrive. While bringing about such a condition, the cutting away of the timber has in no way af fected the character of the dense swamps, in the confines of which bears find safe places for hiding aud eluding dogs and hunters, imd for bringing forth antl rearing their young. The rocky ledges, with their ravines and caverns, still remain, and there the bears find winter lairs as secure aud comfortable as they were when the forests grew above them. Itosides, the clearing up of the forests makes room for a large collection of sheep pastures and pig sties, and thus adds to the field for for age. You may set it down for a fact that bears in Pennsylvania ami not only in Pennsylvania, but in every east ern state where bears are found are more numerous find bigger and fatter than they were in our grandfathers days, and will keep on ueing that way longer than anyone now on earth will live."
