A traveler just back from Japan savs
that the passengers on the Pacific Mail
and Canadian Pacific steamships tret
much amusement from seeing- the mar
velous exploits of the daring men and
women who are now malting their per
ilous ways around the world on bicycles
in great numbers. Every ship takes
several of these heroes and heroines.
On the way to Asia the passengers do
not know the heroes, or even suspect
them. As the wheels are stored in the
cabin baggage rooms, it is impossible
tor the rest of the passengers, looking
on at a pallid boy who turns ill at the
smelt of "a cigar or a girl who lies next
to death s door in her stateroom, to
dream that these are the people who are
going to write home to the papers that
they have been chased by Persian
bandits and lunched with Kaffir kings
as they annihilated Puck's record round
the globe. When the ship stops at
Yokohama out come the wheels, and
the heroes ride the full length of the
uuna a commercial street about a
mile long. The rest of Yokohama is on
a hill too steep for wheeling. At Kobe
and Nagasuki the town sites are more
nearly level and the heroes ride perhaps
two miles, having their wheels lifted
back aboard the steamer as she voyages
from place to place. Having done
Japan by going ashore at three points,
they forge fearlessly ahead on the
Kteamship, yearning to brave the ter
rors of Cliinaon their flying tires.
China they discover to be one of the
finest fields for this phase of reckless
deviltry in all the world. The ship takes
them to Shaughal, where the llund is
nearly two miles long and all lined with
churches', clubs, banks and brokers' and
shipping offices as safe and occidental
as ltroadwny. They hear that they
can ride five miles on the Malooand the
Rubbling Well road before they come
to the muddy towpaths that form the
actual roads of that part of China,
along which no wheelman pan ride.
With their heurta in Iheir throats, fan
cying every poor devil of a coolie they
meet to be a murderer fresh from suck
ing u miKsionary'e house, they pedal
onward. When they come to the tea
gardens, whose gateways swarm with
Chinese, they all but faint, aud could
the Chinese dandies and courtesans at
these gats rend what the bicyclists

NEARLY SPOILED THE BANQUET
Misfortune to a Frlntor O ;uscd Confusloo
at a Dinner Given to Stanley.
Mention of the present visit of Henry
M. Stanley to this country brought
ubout the narration of an amusing,
though somewhat annoying, incident iu
connection with the "American dinner"
that was given to the explorer in Lon
tlon on his return from the Eniin
Pasha relief expedition. The incident
also serves to show how a very slight
Occident may precipitate confusion in a
dinner party. The American dinner to
Stanley was the idea of Henry S. Well
come, an American business man or
London, who was not only a personal
friend of Stanley, but a member of the
firm of druggists who fitted out the
Emin Pasha relief expedition. Through
Mr. Wellcome's energy almost every
American in London subscribed for
tickets to the dinner, and on the night it
citme oil covers for over three hundred
people were laid in Evans' assembly
rooms. One table, on a dais, was re
served for Stanley and the more dis
tinguished guests, and there were a
dozen other long tables facing this one.
Mr. Wellcome attended personally to
the arrangement of the scats, and each
man who had subscribed to the plate
that was to be presented to the guest
ol the evening was given a place at the
end of oue of the subsidiary tables, and
others were given seats near each other
who had expressed preference. Mr.
Wellcome gave minute attention to
these details, and, the first thing on the
morning of the night of the dinner, he
took his completed plan of the tables
and seats to a printer in order to have
the usual diagrams ready for the guid
ance of the diners in taking their places.
When the hour of 8:31), which had
been fixed for dinner, had arrived, the
00 hundred guests were assembled in
the reception-room. Stanley was there,
und so was Consul General John C.
New, who was to preside, and so were
t-ome of the most distinguished men in
England. Jlut there was no diagrams
of the dining-room, and the reception
coinmitte were anxiously wailing fur
Mr. Wellcome to arrive with them. At
8:35 o'clock Mr. Wellcome flew in, in his
business clothes, with a smudge of
printer's ink on his nose and more on
his hands. lie agoniziiily informed the
reception committee that the printers
hud pied the. type or the diagrams of the
tallies at the last moment, and thut
t'uey would be compelled to do without
them.
t may seem an easy matter for 300
men to find their places at tables, when
their names are nt their plates, but it
brought about so much confusion that
everybody was turned from the dining
room back to the reception-room and a
brilliant scheme was suggested. There
was the original list of the mimes of tlm
diners, with their rcsticctive places,
thr.t Mr. Wellcome had rescued from
the printer, in the iHiHacsaiou of the ic
ct'ptlon committee. The tonatmustcr
was stationed on a chair at the door of
the dining room ami Instructed to rcud
the list of unities, each man to puss out
end take his place at the table when
Lis name was railed. The toustimiMcr
wna a fine, big Englishman, with n
htciitoriiin voice. lie did as he wan t.iM.
"Xew Consul Ctciicrul John ('.," he
shouted, and Mr. .New went through
the door. Sioiilcy-Henry M.." la l
lowed th toHNtiunatcr next. There
was a roar of laughter nnd that scheme
for seating the guests was dropped.

Will there be another Sea of Sodom?
Lieut. Lynch, of the United States
navy, has established the fact, pre
viously not known with consummate
accuracy, that the depression of the
Dead sea (also known as the Sea of Lot
and in the Scriptures as the Salt sea) is
over thirteen hundred feet below the
level of the Mediterranean, while that
of Lake Genesaret is eight hundred feet
lower than the ocean. The measure
ments were made twenty years ago, a
long period in a scmi-volcanie region.
Lake Genesaret is connected with the
Dead sea by the Jordan flowing through
it from north to south, and engineers
and scientists are satisfied that the bed
of the Jordan is gradually sinking. My
observations of the shores of Lake Gen
esaret and those of the inhabitants of
the neighboring towns and villages in
dicate that the lake is continuously fall
ing toward the bottom, while the water
is becoming denser from year to year.
The salt strata in its neighborhood are
growing constantly, it seems, and sul
phur springs are becoming frequent on
the plains surrounding it. In the north
and east of the lake the palm trees,
some of them alive, more of them dead
and barren, rise above the water at a
distance of from twenty to forty feet
from 6hore. That they should have
taken root in the water is impossible,
and the supposition is that originally
they stood on islands submerged with
the sinking of the lake's bottom.
The catastrophe which resulted in
the destruction of the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah and in the formation of
the Dead sea is computed to have oc
curred about nineteen hundred years
before Christ. The Dead sea has puz
zled scientists ever since, and many of
its remarkable fetitures have now been
explained. Its depression below the
level of the Mediterranean is the deep
est known on earth. The bottom of
Lake Genesaret is on a much higher
level at present, but if it continues to
sink as it lias done iu the last twenty
years a repetition of the events of four
thousand years ago is not improbable.
As the world has not been treated to a
spectacle of terrestrial evolutions on a
grand scale within hundreds of years,
the creation of a second Dead sea with
in the compass of ordinary travel would
surely attract the attention of all civi
lized nations, and at the same time
help to solve many problem of a scien
tific nature.
Joscphun, who was born in 87 B. C,
reports that the water of Genesaret
was "clear as crystal, sweet and whole
Mime.' I trieil to drink of It, but found
it putrid nnd nonnesting. It left a
salty taste in the mouth. I naked the
fihlicrnicti, plying llielr trude on the
lake as in lliblical days, whether the
water was always unlit for drinking
purposes, and received answer that it
grew inure and more foul every year.
This secttiH to Indicate thut the sur
inlscH u t to t lio change of conditions in
the hike arc correct. The water of the
Dead sea, as ia well known, is entirely
unlit fur use by man. The stench aris
ing from it creates a pestilential atmos

Absolutely pure
THE BLENHEIM SPANIEL,
KAPID RAILROADING.
Most
Lovable of the Four-Footed Pets of
TYoraanklud.
Of all the pet? of womankind, babies
alone excepted, thero is nothing more
lovable than the tiny Blenheim spaniel,
says an exchange.
Why this breed of dogs have the
name of the palace of the duke of Marl
borough no one seems to know. The
story goes, however, that the first duke
bod the breed, and that, on a friend's
requesting a puppy, he refused to part
with one, but, at the same time, took
two o three blind whelps and threw
them to tame eagles.
But in the year 1S00 his grace, the
duke of Marlborough, was reputed to
possess the smallest and best breed
of cockers (woodcock spaniels) in Brit
ain. They were invariably red and
white, with very long cars, short noses,
and black eyes. They were evidently
the ancestors of the present Blenheims,
which are still bred by the keepers of
the lodges at Blenheim and some of the
inhabitants of Woodstock.
Hut there is little doubt that they
have been crossed with the pug to give
them the very short snub noses which
they how posRe&s. 'Moreover, the breed
haa become trery delicate and difficult
to rear. They suffer from brain dis
ease, and are more likely than any other
dog to die in puppyhood. 'Idstone,"
the celebrated writer on dogs, remem
bers the tinie when the Blenheims were
mainly bretl in the vicinity of the pal
ace, lie suggests as a probable orig
inal of the "Blenheim the Japanese toy
spaniel. ' The surmise seems very prob
able.

An Interestlnn Incident of Early Travel
Recalled by a Coincidence of Dates
Discoveries of Oreat Im
portance. The phenomenal time record made by
the New York Central & Hudson River
Ralroad company, on the 11th day of
September, 1805, recalls an interesting
coincidence of dates of special interest
in the city of Albany.
On the 11th day of September, 1009,
Henry .Hudson, after making several -Unsuccessful
attempts to discover x
northeast passage around the conti
nent, under the direction of the Anglo-
Dutch East India company, entered the
Hudson river, terminating his trip at
th head of the navigable waters in tho
vicinity of Albany, which he named
"the New Netherlands."
Hudson did riot make the rapid transit
of 05 1-3 miles per hour, nor is it pos- .
sible that his sailing record compared
favorably with the speed of the Defend- 1
er or the Valkyrie, but the result of his
discoveries was of vastly more impor
tance, ns il Indicated the route which
was destined to be followed in the march
of civilization and the development of
this continent, and has done more for
the advancement of science and the
arts than any section of the earth re
corded In history. .
It was here that the first meeting of
the colonial representatives waa held,

the establishment of the present ' re

It was here that Clinton and his co
adjutors, taking advantage of the nat
ural topographical route provided by
nature, inaugurated the canal system.
connecting the waters of the Hudson '
with the lakes, which waa the pioneer
movement for inland transportation, ,
and was followed by the mora rapid
railroad system rendered necessary by
the demands of commerce. It was here
that the first institute for the develop
ment of science and the arts and the
promotion of agriculture waa incor
porated by Stephen Van Rensselaer and
others, wnich is still in existence.
