On more than one occasion volun-

'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.—

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

to make a girdle around the earth —

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. Its Celtic name
was Lyndln (lake fort). Tacitus. In the
Arst century, calls It Londinlum and
describes it as a flourishing place. The
earliest notice of Paris is in “Caesar's
Commentaries.” Caesar called It .ute-
tla and described It as a collection of
mud but*. Lutetia began in the fourth
century to be known as Parisla. or
Paris, and In the sixth century was se
lected by Clovis as the seat of govern
ment Of the two cities London Is un
doubtedly the more ancient, though
bow much older it is Impossible to say.*

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:

adversity—Chicago Record Herald.
AU this Impersonation and fancy are
translated by the weather bureau into
something like this:
“An area of extreme low pressure Is
rapidly moving up the Atlantic coast,
with wind and rain. Storm center now
off Charleston. 8. C. Wind N. E.;
velocity. 54; barometer, 29.0. The dis

The tace between Cake and
Pulton at the primaries looks
like a big Cake victory. 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
