A GLUTTON FOR GOLD, i
Eokhar.j's Amter Has the Largest Pri
vate Hoard In the World.
Tin' I;ii4t'( private hoard lu the
virhl is prl ably that owned by the
i::i ivr of IVkhara. the Russian vas
sal stale in central Asia. According
to the Turkestanskive Kraj, the ameer
possesses iu his stronghold a vault
completely tilled with gold bars and
coined RoiJ.
Some years ao the ameer had an
other vault built to hold his savings,
nnd the new storehouse is now almost
full. There is at the Hokharau court
an enormous cash book, which has
served for fenerations and tu which
all revenues and expenditures are sup
posed t'j be put down, but also for gen
erations it has r.ever bceu checked with
the "cash lu hand."
Grafting is the easiest thing in the
world at Bokhara. The ameer's offi
cials draw no salary. They are ap
pointed on the understanding that they
must keep themselves on what they
can make out of their various offices.
There is no budget, and the largest per
mament charge on the ameer's lncotua
is one of f 15.000 annually for a local
hospital. Then there is a small con
tribution toward the upkeep of the
Kussiau police In the protectorate and
the maintenance of the Bokkaran
"army," which has shrunk to a mere
bodyguard.
The ameer's annual savings, it is cal
culated, amount to more than $8,000,
000 a year. lie is by traditional usage
compelled to send every year a number
of valuable "presents" tu the Russian
authorities at Samarkand and Tash
kent These presents consist of car
pets, silks and the like, which are Im
mediately sold by the recipients to na
tive traders, from whom the ameei
as regularly buys them back 'at fixed
prices, to be stored up and to serve
again as "presents" the following year.

FIRE IN WATER.
Newest Idea For Making Steam and
Wasting No Heat.
Fire in the middle of a tank of wa
ter instead of under a boiler is a new
scheme in making steam for an engine.
The Idea la to save heat erdluarlly
wasted, for, with the Ore In the mid
dle of the water, every bit of the heat
must work to heat the water, as there
are no skle paths by which it can es
cape. Keeping a fire blazing when practi
cally surrounded by water is a prob
lem that has been successfully solved.
Gas or oil properly mixed with air
feeds the fire. To start the flame the
tank is first emptied and the vapor
fuel forced in through a pipe that ends
In a nozzle pointed downward. The
vapor Is lighted, making a roaring
torch flame shooting downward in the
middle of the tank. Then the tank is
partly filled with water until the sur
face of the water is well above the
nozzle, entirely covering the flame.
The vapor fuel, of course, must be
forced In at some pressure in order
to prevent the water from putting the
fire out The water is soon boiling
violently, making steam for running
the engine. The steam, mixed with
gas from the burning fuel, is led Into
a separate tank, which is a sort of
storage bin for the steam. Saturday

The Sun and the Weather.
Neither astronomers nor meteorolo
gists are likely to take seriously the
prediction of a French scientist that
the recent renewal of sun spot activity
will result in a long period of dry
weather covering seventeen years.
"The direct consequence of our depend
ence on the sun," he says, "is that sev
enteen years of dryness are followed
by as many wet years." Many at
tempts have been made to discover any
association between sun spot cycles
and weather cycles, but as yet without
success. There are three fairly well
defined sun spot cycles, embracing
four, eleven and thirty-three years, but
no similar weather periods are known.
During the last seventy years the
Greenwich records of sun spots and
rainfall show no relation, there being
no correspondence between the two
phenomena. Westminster Gazette.
Paint Alarms.
Fire alarm paint Is coming into use
abroad. At ordinary temperatures the
paint is light red, but when heated it
becomes darker. Long before It reach
es the temperature of boiling water it
becomes black. On cooling it returns
to its original shade. The principal use
found for it is in painting machinery
parts that are liable to overheating.
An attendant needs only to giance at
the machinery occasionally to know
whether It is excessively hot It has,
however, another application to give
warning of threatened fire. Saturday
Evening Post.
A French Wonder.
The police force of the Ninth Paris
Arroudisseu.eiit boasts a policeman
named Costy, whose powers of calcu
lation are attracting the attention of
the scientific world. The moment he
bears a spoken phrase be Is able to
tell the number of letters it contains.
He takes no time for reflection and
says be does not even need to think,
the calculation being automatic.
A Great Seitmograph.
Work has been begun at the geolog
ical laboratory of the University of
Chicago on a new seismograph, one
of the four largest in the United
states. Earthquake shocks in any
part of the globe will be recorded by
the Instrument, whose base will be in
a circular concrete column sunk eighty
feet into the earth ard ten feet into
bed rock. Pathfinder.

Delirium.
The cause that underlies a
case of delirium must first be
found, because the treatment will
vary In accordance with it. Few
of us are called on to deal with
delirium tremens or with the de
lirium of starvation or with that
terrible form known as acute
delirious mania, which generally
ends In death. But the delirium
that accompanies typhoid fever,
pneumonia or the acute infec
tious fevers of childhood is of
common occurrence, and it is
well to know that much can be
done to prevent It or to bring re
lief after it has gone and until
a doctor can be. secured. Seda
tive treatment, such ns a warm
bath with cold applications to
the head, will often ward off an
attack, but when there Is great
prostration of strength stimula
tion is usually necessary. Delir
ium is always exhausting. See
that the patient's strength is
kept up rs far as possible and
pever leave a delirious patient
alone, even for a minute. There
are too many cases of sick peo
ple falling from open windows.
