Success. EXERTS AN AWFUL POWER Explodlnsr Dynamite la the Moat Tre snendoaa Force in Exlateace. ' When dynamite explodes It leaves little to mark the spot where it has lain save evidences of Its destructJve nesa. Two interesting exhibits of its force are shown in the Stevens' Insti tute of Technology at Hoboken. N. J. They are steel blocks, six inches in diameter, and four inches thick, show ing respectively the impression of an oak leaf and tbe Imprint of the bead line of a western newspaper. It was during a test of high explosives that a cartridge of dynamite was placed on a newspaper covering tbe block of steel, the object being to see bow much dynamite would be required to split the metal. Tbe dynamite was fired without In- Jury to the steel, but to the surprise of the experimenter the print of the newspaper was deeply pressed into the metal. The experiment was repeated, with the same result and then was elaborated by trying the charge on an oak leaf placed between the block and the dynamite. This time the stem and the ribs of the leaf were deeply Im pressed In the metaL , "What happens is this," said tbe ex pert in charge. "Unlike most other ex plosives, dynamite exerts practically all its crushing force downward and not In a general direction. So incon ceivably quick and forceful Is the dis charge of this powder that the Imprint of the ribs of an oak leaf are made be fore the leaf has time to be blown to atoms. In tbe case of the newspaper it appears that where printer's ' ink touches the paper the paper is harden ed and more capable of resistance than In other places, and so It is that before the paper is destroyed the printing- on tt is forced deep Into the metal."

Before telling the witness to vand down, ha accosted him with this parting sarcasm: "Ah, you're a clever fellow a tery clever fellow wa can all sea that" The witness leaned over from the box, and quietly retorted: "I would return the compli ment If I were not on oath." ! Browning had a maid In his service, who had a gift for saying quaint things. When tha poet was going to pay the last mark of respect to Qeorga Henry Lewe. aha aald she "didn't sea the good of catching cold at other peo ple'a funerals.,, And once, when ha was awsy on a holiday and a journal ist came to the door to Inquire If It was true that tha poet was dead, she Indignantly answered: "1 have not heard so, and I am sure my master Is not the kind of a man to do such a thing without letting us know." Whistler's amusing personal conceit was charmingly displayed on one oc casion when A. O. Plowden, a London police magistrate, attended a private view at the Groevenor Gallery. "Al most the first friend I met." he says, "was Whistler, and he Tery good-naturedly took me up to a full-length portrait which he was exhibiting of Udy Archibald CampbelL After I hsd done my best to express my bum ble appreciation of a beautiful picture I asked him If there were any other pictures which he would advise me to look at "Other pictures,' said Whistler, in a tone of horror; 'other pictures! There are no other pictures! Tou are through!"" The list of silent great men Is a long one. Especially Is thla true of noted warriors. Wallensteln, Wellington, Von Moltke, Grant Marlborough. Charlemagne, Hannibal, Caesar, all gave their orders In as few words as possible, and demanded like brevity from their subordinates. It la said that Marlborough never allowed more than a minute for a verbal report, and it is told of Von Moltke that when an aide-de-camp brought a written message that France had declared war, tha great general simply ordered It filed in the "second pigeon-hole on the right first tier." In that pigeon-hole were complete plans for the successful campaign that followed. Here Is an anecdote) which William Dean Howells tells of his first personal recognition as a writer: "Years ago, one evening after a day of lonely sight seeing In Montreal, I returned to the hotel where I was stopping, and con sulted the register In the hope of find ing the name of some acquaintance. I was disappointed, and, turning away, I met two well-dresaed young men, who embraced the register eagerly, and, presently, one of them said, to my great surprise and Joy: 'Ilello. Tom! Here's Howells. ",'OhV I exclaimed, turning toward them, 'I was Just look ing for some one I knew. I'm glad to see you. I hope you're some fellows who know mer "Only through your contributions to the Saturday Press,' they replied. It was the first personal recognition of my work as an author that I hsd ever received from a stran ger, and the words were golden." THEATERS OF OLD COUNTRY. Ia Many CI t lea Thtj Are Controlled br tbe Government. The recent theater horror in Chicago has turned the attention of the country toward theaters In general and numer ous cities are hurrying to "get their houses In order" that such a catastro phe may not occur to them, says the Municipal Journal and Engineer. It would speak better for these cities if they did not need such prompting. In many cities on the continent the opera tion of theaters Is not left to private concerns, but the municipalities have erected the playhouses or subsidised them, and thla ' Idea ia gradually spreading. In Vienna the court theaters were erected by the state on state lands and consist of two buildings for different phases of the drama. The opera house for operas, ballets and concerts, cost in the neighborhood of 12,548,975, while the Burg Theater, for the drama itself, cost (68,580. These theaters are the property of the Emperor's treasury and are maintained by the lord cham berlain's department, and whenever the revenue does not cover the ex penses the Emperor's civil list makes up the difference. The chamberlain's department assumes no responsibility in extending the grant which is looked after by the Hungarian government Besides the state grants, the Royal Opera House and other theaters in Budapest receive different grants from the state and other smaller grants from the city. The provincial towns of Hun gary assist theater managers by al lowing free use of buildings and help ing to defray cost of heating and light ing. Belgium grants subsidies to com posers, whose works are produced in a Belgium theater, and, in addition, subsidies are given to composers pro ducing their works in French, Flemish or Walloon. Most of tbe cities sub sidize or own several theaters, some are given rent free, and In most of them the scenery and furniture belong to the town. At Sophia, Bulgaria, the city is to erect a theater as soon aa enough mon ey is accumulated from the state lot tery. In France, the four national thea ters occupy the buildings rent free, but they must pay the taxes, provide for maintenance and allow larger repairs to be made by the state without claim for damages through Interruption. An annual subsidy is granted to each the ater by the national parliament ware houses are provided for storing scenery. The three largest theaters must submit to regulation of the choice of pieces produced, prices of seats, number of performances, as well as tha number of new pieces per year, j tha minimum number of artists of each class lu the company, tha auditing of I accounts, by tha Minister of Finance, T ....

Including some pieces by living authors. All the other theaters are fre$ from state control, although other towns grant subsidies. A large number of : musical societies receive encouragement from the cities by grants and medals for good work. In Berlin tha royal' Prussian opera house and playhouse receive together the sum of S27O.0OO and the land on which they . stand belongs to the state. .Only one theater in Home, Italy, be longs to tha city, but In Florence, the municipal band receives (3(H) a year and further small sums for the musle stand and maintenance. Milan owns part of one of her theaters and sub sidies are given others. Lisbon hai two theaters owned by the state, one having been erected In 1TU3 by private subscriptions. There are three state theaters at St Petersburg and three at Moscow main tained at the expense of the Emperor. In the principal tow us are theaters es tablished by the state and In which are produced dramaa for tha education of the people. The prices are very low. At St Petersburg, Warsaw and Kleff the temperance societies maintain these popular theaters, but are granted subsidies, the amounts In the first named city totaling over (1,500,000 dur ing the last fire years. BOOKMARK WITH a, STORY, It Wa Once TJead by a Lobbyist and Telia a Qneer Story. The San Francisco land grabbeis' methods of conveyln.it bribe money to employes of the land office recalls the manner In which a certain lobbyist out West used to make It "worth while'' for legislators to vote as he wished. A Bible society had placed a copy of tha scriptures in each room of every hotel In the State. Whenever the lobbyist wished to bribe a member of the leg islature he would Invite htm to Ms room and, after going over all the le gitimate argumenta In fsvor of bis measure, would ask If the legislator bad ever read the book of Job. It was a fairly safe guess that he hsd not but even if be bad not tt made no differ ence. "It is a wonderful story.',' the lobby ist would say, "and I think you would find it profitable to read it" Then ha would place the Bible In his guest's hand, bidding him read Job while he, the lobbyist stepped out for a few mo ments. "How do you like It as far as you have read?" he would ask when be re turned. . If the legislator said he liked it the lobbyist knew. m that the bank note which he had previously placed be tween the Icavea at the beginning of the book of Job was of a satisfactory denomination. They used to tell the story out theie that legislator once took the money and then voted against the lobbyist's measure, whereupon the lobbyist frightened him Into giving back the money by threatening to prosecute him for grand larceny. And, sure enough, it was nothing less, for the lobbyist had not said a word to Indi cate that be meant to have 4be legis lator take the money, and, of course, a nan has a right to use a (1,000 Mil as a bookmark If he wants to. Brook lyn Eagle. Fair Play. During the reform riots in Hyde Park, London, in 1800, the mob, on a well-remembered night began tearing down the fences of Hyde Park for tires and barricades. Colonel Thomas Went' worth Hlgginson tells In tbe Atlantic Monthly of an English officer who was dining with a friend, all unconscious of the impending danger. Presently he received a summons from the War Department telling him that his regi ment was ordered out to deal with the mob. He hastened back to his own house, but when he called for bis horse he found that bis servant bnd received permission to go out for the evening, aud bad the key of the stable In his pocket. The officer hastily donned bis uniform, and then had to proceed on foot to the Guards' Armory, which lay on the other side of Hyde Park. Walk ing hastily lu that direction, be came out unexpectedly at the very headquar ters of the mob, where tbey were al ready piling up the fences. His uniform was recognized, and an gry shouts arose. It must have seemed for the moment to the mob that tbe Lord had dellveied their worst enemy into their hands. , There was but one thing to be done. He made his way straight toward the center of action, and called to a man who was mounted on the pile, and was evidently the leader of the tumult: "I say, my good man, my regiment has been called out by her Majesty's orders. Will you give ma a hand over this piler . The man hesitated a minute, and then said with decision, "Boys, tbe gentleman Is right He is doing his duty, and we have no quarrel with him. Lend a band and help him over." This was promptly done with entire respect and the officer In his brilliant uniform went hastily on bis way amid three cheers from tbe mob. Then the mob returned to its work, to complete It if possible before be whom they had aided should come back at the bead of his regiment and perhaps order them to be shot down.
