IMPERVIOUS TO INFORMATION.
Bow un Explanation of the Keety Motor
Was Received.
"A group of Chicago's young men
Were standin? not Ion? since near the
corner of State and Madison streets
discussing the many wonderful inven
tions of this wonderful age, when the
conversation turned upon the Keely
motor project of several years ago. As
some of the younger members of the
party could not exactly recall its pro-
pooou wuraiuga, uao nuvvumu ucau iaj
explain it.
"An old German laborer, but lately
landed In the country, and, of course,
speaking and understanding the Eng
lish language very imperfectly, paused
a moment, and leaned upon his shovel
to listen. As he would occasionally
catch the words, 'Keely motor,' 'Keely
motor,' an anxious, thoughtful expres
sion was seen to flit now and again
across his honest old face, lie seemed
to become intensely interested in all
that was said, and would occasionally
ask some question concerning it. The
narrator went over the ground quite
carefully, telling how it was proposed,
by a series of chambers, valves, pis
tons and compressors, to run an engine
from New York to San Francisco with
a gallon or so of water without steam
or fire.
"Our Teutonic friend gave earnest
heed to it all, throwing his weight fust
upon one foot and then the other, and
nodding his head in the affirmative by
way of approval, and then negatively,
as though pained at some portions of
the recital. Onoe or twice he said:
'Ish dot bossible!' and showed much in
dignation. Finally, after the whole
thing had been carefully explained ti
him, taking perhaps an hour's time, li.
took his old black pipe from his mouth,
spit a couple of times or so, wiped his
troubled brow upon the coat he carried
on his arm, and expressed his opinion
of the Keely motor about as follows:
'Ish dot so? I don't vood haf pelievctl
dot dere vaB so mean a veller by Shee
kagol Und so dot veller he keel hit
mudder pecause she don't vood let him
go by de bignig over by Ogden bark
hey? He keel his poor old mudder! Veil!
veil! veil! I boet you dot veller must a
vas grazy!'
"When the young man saw that in
had fooled away so much time for
naught he could hardly help violating
the third commandment. Now when
his friends wish to have a little fun at
his expense some one will casually in
quire if it is true 'dat dot veller ho kee
his muddert' He says that such a man
couldn't read a barber's sign withou.
an interpreter," M. li. Dutlie, in Chi
cago InterOccan.
A JAVANESE TIGER FIGHT.
An Entertainment That Is Dangerous tt
Spectators.
An English traveler in Java who saw
one of the tiger fights peculiar to the
island thus describes the strange sport:
"The tiger is set down in a trap in the
center of the Allon-Allon, or great
square and is surrounded by a triple or
quadruple line of spearsmen, about a
hundred vnrds distant from him.
"When all is ready a Javanese'nd
vances at a very slow pace, to the sound
of soft music, and sets fire to the trap,
at the same time opening the door at
the back part of the cage, which, by
the way, is too narrow for the tigcr-tt
turn in.
"As the fire begins to singe his whisk
ers, he gradually backs out The man,
as soon as he has opened the door, be
gins walking toward the crowd at a
slow pace, and, the slower he is, the
morn applause does he gain.
"The tiger, meanwhile, having
backed out of his burning prison, is
rather astonished at finding himself
surrounded by hundreds of people, each
pointing a spear at him.
"If he is a bold tiger he canters round
the circle, almost touching the spears;
finding no opening, then he returns to
the center, fixes his eye on one spot,
and with a loud roar dashes straight at
It
"He is received on the spears, and,
Rough he crushes many as if they were
mere reeds, in half a minute he falls
dead, pierced by a hundred weapons.
"In some instances, however, the roar
and charge are too much for the Javan
ese, and they give way. The sport then
becomes rather dangerous to specta
tors." Youth's Companion.
A llungled Telegram,
certain member of parliament, as
proud and fond as a man should be of
his beautiful young wife, was just
rising to speak in a debate when
a telegram was put in his hands. He
read it, left the house, jumped into a
cab, drove to Charing Cross aud took
the train to Dover. Next day he re
turned home, rushed into his wife's
room, and, finding her there, upbraided
the astonished lady in no measuret
terms. She protested her ignorance o:
having done anything to offend him.
"Then what did you mean by your tel
egram?" he asked. "Mean? Whtit 1
said, of course. What are you talking
about?" "Read it for yourself," sait;
be. She read: "I flee with Mr. X. U.
Dover straight. Pray for me." For a
moment words would not come; then,
after a merry fit of laughter, the sns
pected wife quietly remarked: "Oh.
those dreadful telegraph people! K.
wonder you are out of your mind,
dear. I telegraphed simply: 'I tea with
Mrs. X. in Dover street. Stay forme.' "

AN EXTRAORDINARY HALIBUT.
It Weighed 24ff Pounds and Was Speared
by a Fisherman.
A few days ago there was landed at
Slromness, Orkney, a hali but of extraor
dinary dimensions, measuring eight
feet ten inches in length and weighing
no loss than two hundred and forty
five pounds, says the London Field.
The fish was discovered by two lads
who were engaged In hauling lobster
creels at the back of the Holms, a dis
tance of about a mile and a half from
Stromness pier. It was observed on
the sand apparently asleep, mid as
they hod no appliances with them
with whi ill to attempt a capture they
marked the spot and returned home to
acquaint their father. Armed with
kind of harpoon, to which a line was
attached, they went back to the place
and found the huge iish had not moved.
Carefully wntchin;,' an opportunity the
father succeeded in planting the har
poon in the back of the halibut. The
weapon entered the spine and rendered
the lish powerless, but on account of
its sizo and weight it was only after
considerable difieulty that it was got
on board. In its stomach was found a
variety of small fish which weighed
upwards of six pounds. It was at once
carefully packed and dispatched by
steamer and rail to the London mur-
