i ' j; i P- M ! I I, 1 i i 1 I 5 MILLIONS A MINUTE. Breetat Lrr om Reor4 Diva la A Garret la a Loadaa Slaaa. In a grim garret In a London alum there died the other djr the only man fc-bo ever succeeded In losing 125,000, K)0 In Are mlnutea' tlnw. Ilia name was Henri Thtbault Foi years prior to bis death ha had eked out a precarious aubolatencc as a trans lator and teacher of languages, yet thir teen years previously ba had been the prime mover In the great copper corner, the collapse of which shook to tta foun dations the French financial world. Thlbanlt's Idea was to secretly buy Bp the world's available supply of cop per and wait for the Inevitable rise. And he came near to succeeding. From hla office In Paris he controlled, through his agents, the markets of Lon don, Berlin and Vienna, and In all of thm he purchased every pound of cop per that was offered. The result was quickly apparent. On July 1, 1S87, "B. O. B.V (best Chile bars) were selling at $200 a ton. By Jane 1 they had risen to $200, and the rise continued steadily until the middle f December, 1SS8, when the unheard 5f price of a fraction over $500 a ton was being asked and obtained. Then came the collapse. Thlbanlt had eunk all bis own money in the venture, all he could borrow, all he could beg, nd still from all sorts of odd and un expected corners of the world copper came pouring In. As aoon as be ceased buying be bad. of course, to commence selling, and this hastened and accentuated the Inevita ble end. By March 1 the price had dropped to less than It was when Thl bault commenced operations. Altogether the gigantic gamble cost Mm fr0.000.0x, of which sum fully one-half was lost between noon and five minutes past on Feb. 2S, 1SS9, when the bottom dropped out of hla corner. Stray Stories. The Kite as an Air Ship. I have had the feeling that a properly constructed flying machine should be capable of being flown as a kite and, conversely, that a properly constructed kite should be capable of use as a fly ing machine when driven by its own propellers. I 'am not so sure, however, of the 'truth of the former proposition as I am of the latter. Given a kite so shaped as to be suit able for the body of a flying machine and so efficient that It will fly well In a good breeze (say twenty miles an hour) when loaded with a weight equivalent to that of a man and engine, then it seems to me that this same kite, pro Tided with an actual engine and man In place of the load and driven by Its own propellers at the rate of twenty miles an hour, should be sustained in calm air as a flying machine. So far as the pressure of the air Is concerned. It Is surely immaterial whether the air moves against the kite or the kite against the air. Alexander Graham Bell In National Geographic Magazine. A to Laying: Rails. English railway experts seem deter mined to do everything In the most complicated way. as Americans prefer the simplest For instance. Yankees lay railroad rails directly upon the sleeper. The English lay bull head rails upon metal chairs which in turn rest upon the sleepers. The result Is to multiply the noise, which would be almost intol erable If English engines and cars were "not such small and light affairs. The London Transport, a technical - authority, says, "It Is generally ndmit ' ted that the American system of laying flat bottom rails direct on sleepers makes a more elastic road than the English chair and key system, while the smoothness of running adds com fort in traveling and considerably re duces the wear and tear to rolling stock." The Goat of the Fnaileera. In hla recent gift of a goat from the royal herd to the fusileers King Ed ward followed the example of his royal mother, who at different times gave this famous regiment a goat the first being presented as far back as 1S43. On that occasion It was one of a maguificent Cashmere breed, then kept In Windsor park, a herd of which was sent to Queen Victoria by the then ehah. This goat as may be expected, was highly prized and marched at the head of the regiment during a cam paign In Bulgaria, afterward accom panying the fusileers to the Crimea. Shortly after the battle of Alma the jroat began to show symptoms of ill ness, and despite every care it finally succumbed to the inclement weather on Dec. 20, 1854, before Sevastopol. AmblbTUoaa.

The Balkan Crowne. Assassination tempered by abdication such has been the fate of most Bal kan rulers. Since the Balkan peoples Greece, Prince Cuza of Roumania. Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, Prim Alexander Karageorgevltch and Kin-.' Milan of Servia have been forced to abdicate, while Prince Danilo of lion tenegro, Prince Michael, King Alexaii der and Queen Draga of Servia, e well as Kara George, the Servian lib erator, have been murdered. In addition attempts were made on the lives of the late Queen Anmlia an I j King George of Greece, as well us on ' the late King Milan of Servia. ' Out of the sixteen Balkan rulers who j have held sway during the last century four alone two Montenegrins and MI- j losh Obrenovitch I. and the short lived j Milan Obrenovitch II. of Servia died peacefully on their thrones, while four are still alive. The remaining eight j were all murdered or expelled, and j even Milosh Obrenovitch was once j compelled to abdicate temporarily.

What Is said to be the largest ana oldest pear tree in America la In Mich igan, near Lake Erie. It la supposed tu have been planted by the French wheu they first settled In that country. Flvt feet above the ground this tree meas ures thirteen feet In circumference and Is sixty-five feet high. It la aald also to be a prolific bearer that rarely falls of a full crop.

Take an ordinary copper cent place, stamp it with a private mark, pot it tnto circulation, and what are the chances that you will ever see It again 1 1 There Is one man who aayi that be tried the trick and succeeded at It lie la a buatneaa man who refuaea to allow his name to be used la print about the story, but he tells the tale to many of a la friends and he vouches for Its truth. In 1904, be aaya, be found a cest piece, dated 1803, In the restaurant of the Lafayette hotel. He pocketed It for luck and as a memento of a Jolly little , dinner scratched hla Initials on It Just over the feathered head, while on the cheek he added those of the hotel. Un til 1809 he treasured the coin, then drew It out of his pocket with a hand ful of other change and before he real ised It the cent piece had gone the mys terious way of all money. A year ago he chanced, being of a curious turn of mind, to fall Into con versation one evening with a profee- slonal beggar at Broad and Chestnut streets. He upbraided the man for get. , tlog murh monvJ foP nothln(t, "Oh." said the beggar, "I don't get so much. That's all I've got In the last hour." And he held up a cent piece. At that moment the electric light fell nnon the coin, and the business man, to his amaaement caught sight of the let ters "II. L." on the cheek of the face He took the coin and examined It more i closely. Sure enough, there were his own Initials Just above the feathers where he had placed them a half doten years before. At once bis prejudice against begging vanished. "I'll give you a dollar for that cota! he cried. The beggar grew wary at this eager ness and demanded T. Needless to say, be got It and also of course the cent piece has never since left the business man's watch chain, which It now adorns. Philadelphia Press. MODES OF THE MOMENT.

The latest fad In millinery lies In osing several shades of straw of one color In making a hat. In brown shad ing to tan it Is a pretty Idea, and equally effective are shaded greens, blues, violets and yellows. Hat trim mings of ribbons not only affect many shades of one color, but two or three colors are also blended. The ends of the ribbons are, cut In long, narrow shawl points, which mix and overlap each other In quite a bewildering way. Straws are also massed In several colors either in wide cross bands upon a flat brim or as rim bands. All this novelty has an effect which ia extreme ly original.
