'illus on the eve of the execution of Dr. Dodd, famous as the author of "The Beauties of Shakespeare.” a man presented himself at Newgate aud ask ed Jo be permitted to suffer in his stead. Ills request was deemed so ex traordinary that be was taken In charge as a lunatic. But he was able to convince the magistrate, before whom be was brought the uext day, of his sanity aud so was discharged. All be asked as the price of bls self sacrifice was £200. to be settled ou bls mother. Ill another Instance, which happened only a few years ago. a uian who said he Buffered from au Incurable disease wrote to the home secretary offering himself as a substitute for a certain emiueut scholar who bad murdered bis wife in a At of passion. He asked neither fee nor reward, being, as be explained, tired of bls life. Then, too, there was the case of Eli za i'euulug. which created so much pity that Ave persous came forward and volunteered to suffer In her stead. Of course no uotlce was taken of their requests, the culprit, a pretty young girl, being executed In due course.— London Chronicle. th« Wonders of Labor Caving Device« In Machinery. When McCormick built his first hun dred reapers iu 1845. he paid 4'i cents for bolts. That was in the mythical age of baud labor. Today Afty bolts art made for a cent. So with guard Angers. McCormick paid 24 cents each when James K. Polk was In the White Uouse. Now there Is a ferocious ma chine which with the least possible as sistance from one man cuts out 1.300 guard Angers In ten hours at a labor cost of a cent for six. Also while ex ploring one of the Chicago factories I came upon a herd of cud chewing ma chines that were crunching out chain | links at the rate of 50.000.000 a year. i Near by were four smaller and more Irritable automata which were biting off pieces of wire and chewing them Into linchpins at a speed of 400.000 bites a day. "Take out your watch and time tills man,” said the superintendent of the McCormick plant "See bow long he Is In boring Ave boles In that great cast ing." "Exactly six minutes.” I answered. “Well, that's progress,” observed the superintendent. "Before we bought that machine It was a matter of four hours to bore those hoies." In one of its Ave twine mills—a mon strous bedlam of noise and a wilder ness of fuss, which Is by far the lar gest of its sort in the world—there is enough twine twisted In a single day to make a girdle around the earth — Everybody's Magazine. VENEERING. It Is Produced by Two Methods, Saw ing and Slicing. “There are two kinds of veneering- sawed and sliced—but It takes an ex pert to tell the difference." says a man ufacturer. "The process of manufac ture Is simple and interesting The logs, delivered at the factory In the rough, about thirteen feet In leugtb are first cooked in hot water vutH to make them soft and workuble. "It does not matter bow green they are. After being thoroughly cooked they are placed on machines designed for the purpose and either sliced by a powerful knife the length of the log or cut by a circular saw into slabs about one-twentieth of an Inch thick. "These slabs are the full length of the log aud wheu Arst cut are so plia ble that they can be lieut double with out breaking, Tlie uniform thickness or thinness of the slabs Is preserved by the action of the machinery ami does not vary so much as a hair's breadth In the entire length of the slab. "After the slabs are sliced or sawed they are seasoned by steaming. This requires only about twenty-four hours, and then they are ready for the mar ket. Some of the huge oak logs that come to the factory show by the rings in them that the trees were from 250 to 400 years old.”—Washington Herald. A Gorgeous Fish. One of the most gorgeous Ashes In the world Is found, strangely enough, uot In tropical waters, but off the coasts of England, where the waters are gray and deep and cold. It Is the opab, or klngAsh. This species reaches a weight of from thirty to a hundred pounds and Is shaped a little like the great sunffsb of the Atlantic wean in American watefs. The Ash has Im mense eyes, of which the Iris Is a bright scarlet. The gill covers are green aud cold, and the rest of the Ash is Aashlng red and green, over which there play sheens of purple and gold. Again, over this sheen there Is another still more transparent Alm of silver, i which plays in large, white spots over the rest of the bright colors. The Ans. which are large aud sword shaped, are i a vivid red. London and Paris. There is evidence to show that Lon don was a considerable town before the Roman Invasion.

In commenting on the fact that a person mn.v be thoroughly eqri-iped on the scientlAc side of music without being sensitive to Its beauty as an art Gustav Kobbe in his book “How to Appreciate Music” quotes the witty distinction which Edmund Clarence Stedman draws in Ills “Nature and Elements of Poetry” between the indi cations of a storm as descrilied by a poet and by the official prognostica tions of the weather bureau. Mr. Stedman gives two stanzas: J. C. HOLDEN, C. A.

Is it an easy matter for a few men to meet and declare against State ment No i; it is a different mat ter to get people to vote for a man who » ill not support their choice for United States Senator unless that choice happens to be his own. Fulton has greatly weakened hiinse f by having his friends fight .statement No. i, showing that he is afraid to abide by the will of the people, but must resurrect the old ma chine methods in order to win. Cake, on the other hand, is an avowed champion of Statement No. i, and is willing to abide by the verdict of the ballots. He wants to be senator if the people want him—not otherwise. It is the opinion of the Review, based on reports from all parts of the state, that the next legisla ture will be-composed largely of Statement No. I members, and that the num who receives the endorseiuens of the people at the general election will be the next United States senator from Ore gon, as he should be.—Jefferson Review.
