HORSES A SPECIAL-['1'
‘
RAPID RAILROADING. l
Phenomenal Time Made by the
New York Central.
-v-‘
An Interesting Idcident of Early Travel
Recalled by a Coincidence of Dates—
Discoveries of Great Im- .
portance.
The phenomenal time record made by
the New. York Central & Hudson River
‘ Ralroad company, on the‘llth day of
September, 1895, recalls an interesting
coincidence of dates of special interest
in the city of Albany.
On the 11th day of September, 1609,
Henry .Hudson, after making several
unsuccessful attempts to discover a
northeast passage around the ’conti-
nent, under the direction Of theAnglo-
Dutch East India company, entered the
Hudson river, terminating his trip at
the head of the navigable waters in the
vicinity of Albany, which he named
“the New Netherlands.”
Hudson did not make the rapid transit
of 65 1-3 miles per hour, nor is it pos-
' sible that his sailing record compared
favorably with the speed of the Defend-
er or the Valkyrie, but the result of his
discoveries was of vastly more impor-
tance, as it indicated the route which
was destined to be followed in the march
of civilization and the development of
this continent, and has done more for
the advancement of science and the
arts than any section of the earth re-
corded in history.
, It was here that the first meeting of
the colonial representatives was held,
resulting in the preliminary steps for
the establishment of the present re-
publican form of government.
It was here that Clinton and his co-
adjutors, taking advantage of the nat-
ural topographical route provided by
nature, inaugurated the canal system,
connecting the waters of the Hudson
with the lakes, which was the pioneer
movement for inland transportation,
and was followed by the more rapid
railroad system rendered necessary by
the demands of commerce. 'It was here
that the first institute for the develop—
ment of science and the arts and he
promotion of agriculture was incor-
porated by Stephen Van Rensselaer and
others, which is still in existence.
It was here that Dr. Nott provided the
first plan in the introduction of the
grate bar, by which coal could be suc-
cessfully used as fuels "
It was here that Littlefield b'rought
into‘iuse the first self-feeding base-burn-
ing stove. ' .
It was here that Squire ”Whipple first
reduced to science the art of bridge
building, erecting a trapezoidal truss
bridge of iron, and presenting formulas
for several structures.
It was here .that Prof. Henry and Dr.
TenEyck strung miles of wire around
the walls of the Albany academy, dem-
onstrating the practical use of elec-
tricity as a power and in the transmis-
sion of messages, which was immedi-
ately applied by Prof. Morse by the use
of his alphabet. -
’ And it was here, at the West Albany
shops of the railroad company, that
William Buchanan, superintendent of
motive power, planned and constructed
the celebrated engine 999, and others of
the same style, which have gained an
international reputation, and without
which the success attending the phe-
nomenal achievement could not have
been accomplished. It is worthy of
note that our Dutch ancestors of the
Netherlands, to whom we are indebted
for so much, have just launched the
largest steamship now afloat of the twin
screw type. May success attend their
enterprise—Peter Hogan, in Ballston
Daily Journal. .
GRIZZLY ' AND SILVER TIP.
Three
Types in California of Immense
Size and Strength.
' The grizzly bears found all through
the canyons of the Rocky and Coast
mountains and spurs of the Sierra Ne-
vada range seldom descend from lofty
altitudes, where they manage yearjn
and year out to eke“ out a subsistence
near the perpetual snow line. An old
and experienced hunter has said that
“any man’s a fool to go in arter bear
alone.” The bruins of the east and the
bruins of. the west are almost totally
different animals. The Ursa Majors of
the Sierras are monstrous in size, en-
dowed with ugly dispositions and pro-
digious strength, and as for grit,,they
dispute—and very often successfully,
too—the sovereignty of the mountains
and forests with the king of American
beasts, the mountain lion. ( ,
Hunters disagree upon the point of
how many different species of the bear
tribe we have in the southwest. There
are at least three distinct types of the
family in California and Lower Califor—
nia—namely, the grizzly, brown and
black bear. Besides these there are
also gray bears, cinnamon bears and
the Sierra grayback. The true gray is
seldom, if ever, seen now as far north
as the 45th parallel, and as far east'as
the main divide; the cinnamon is sim-
ply a cross between the brown and
black bears, and the mighty silver tip
is neither more nor less than a mongrel
of the brown and grizzly, partaking
strongly Of the natures of the two, but
particularly of the latter. All the mem-
bers Of the species intermar'ry, and the
silver tip is the king of the family.
This big fellow, springing from the
grizzly and the brown, combines all the
ferocity and tough strength of the for-
mer with the agility and stubbornness
of the latter, each distinctive trait be-
ing more prominent in him and pos-
sessed to a greater degree than by the
very animals from whom he borrows
them. The silver tip is unquestionably
the ruler Of the family'by reason of his
greater size and belligerent disposi-
tion. Lewis and Clarke, in their nar-
rative Of their journey to the Pacific
coast nearly a hundred years ago, speak
of meeting not only brown and black
bears, but also numerous white bears,
that made. it perilous traveling at times
for various members of that hold pio-

IN COMMAND OF THE ARMADA.
Several of the TEE Which: Philip II.
' Forgot.
In the Armada the crusading enthu-
siasm had reached its point and focus,
says Froude in Longman’s Magazine.
England was the stake to which the
virgin, the daughter of Sion, was bound
in captivity. Perseus had come at last
in *the person of the duke of Medina.
Sidonia, and with him all that'was best
and brightest in the countrymen of
Cervantes, to break her bonds and re-
They had
sailed into the channel in pious hope,
with the blessed banner waving over]
their heads.
To be the executor of the decrees of
Providence is a lofty ambition, but men
in a state of high emotion overlook the
precautions which are not to be dis-
pensed with, even on the sublimest of
errands. Don Quixote, when he set out
to redress the wrongs of humanity, for~
got that a change of linen might be
necessary and that he must take money
with him to pay his hotel bills. Philip
IL, in sending the Armada to England,
and confident in supernatural protec-
tion, imagined an unresisted, triumphal
procession. ‘ '
He forgot that contractors might be -
rascals, that water four months in the
casks in a hot climate turned putrid
and that putrid water would poison his
ships’ companies, though his crews
were companies of angels. He forgot
that the servants of the evil one might
fight for their mistress after all and
that he must send adequate supplies of
powder, and, worst forgetfuln ess of all,
that a great naval expedition required -
a leader who understood his business.
Perseus, in the shape of the duke of
Medina Sidonia, after a week of dis-
astrous battles, found himself at the
end of it in an exposed roadstead, where
he ought never to have been, nine-
tenths Of his provisions thrown over-
board as unfit for food, his ammunition
exhausted by the unforseen demands
upon it, the seamen and soldiers har-
assed and dispirited, officers the whole
week without sleep, and the enemy,
who had hunted him from Plymouth to
Calais, anchored within half aleague
of him.
A WEIRD SEA TALE.
The Deep Mystery of an Abandoned Ship
and Its Missing Crew.
One of the strangest stories about an
abandoned ship comes from the Indian
ocean. In 1822 the British corvette
Lizard was crulsing off Ceylon. A ship
came in sight with all sail set, and
making good speed through the water.
The Officers took a long look, and one
said: “There is something wrong
about that vessel. Her crojack is loose
and flapping, and there is no man at
the wheel. We had better run down
to her.”
This was done, says the New York
World, and when near it was seen that
the ship had no crew, as there was no
answer to the hail. When boarded
.there were no marks of trouble until,
on raising a sail that was spread over
the main hatch, the body of a man was
found. He had been ironed to the
lock-bars of the hatch cover, and had
apparently been dead a week.
On going into the cabin the body of
an elderly man was found. He had
been stabbed to death. 0n examining
the log-book it was on record that the
ship was Spanish, from the Phillippines,
and named El Frey Antonio; but,
strangely, the last entry was six weeks
past, and spoke of abandoning the ship
at a point a thousand miles away,
bound for Malaga, Spain. She was left
on the road to China. A pitcher of
water on the table was intact. Could
the vessel have come this long journey
without meeting a storm, and how bad
the dead men got here? They had not
been dead six weeks, and both were
Lascars.
The Frey Antonio was taken into
Madras, the Spanish government noti-
fied, and their answer only made the
mystery deeper. The ship had sailed
from Celebes more than a year before,
with six Roman Catholic priests as
passengers, bound for Spain, and had
no Lascars among her crew. And this
was all. And from that far away
time until now the story of El Frey
Antonio is one of the secrets of the
deep.
How TO FIGHT lNDlANS.‘
A Recipe Given for the Benefit of Blood-
thirsty Boys.
Jack now took off his blue flannel
jumper and overall trousers, fixed them
artistically together and stuffed them
out with the coarse grass growing every—
where around us. Then he held the
dummy beyond the edge of a bowlder
in such a way as to look as if the bulge
of his own body were protruding, says
Lippincott’s Magazine. .
The old, old ruse succeeded admir-
ably, for instantly there came from the
cover, about thirty yards away, a hurt-
ling shower Of arrows; and as soon as
Tom and I had fired Our decoy shots a
squad. of hideously painted Apaches
sprang up, and with uplifted toma-
hawkstand terrific yells, rushed toward
us. But not for far.
“Now, boys!” shouted J ack, and at
the crack of our rifles the three fOre-
most braves went headlong down.
For a few seconds the others stood
bewildered, and then,*as one after an-
other dropped under the storm of re-
volver bullets, fired so rapidly as to
seem like the worker" a dozen enemies,
the surviving warriors darted off to
their ponies and scurried away. “
Napoleon’s Death Mask. -
The death mask of Napoleon, which
was taken immediately after the de-
mise of the conquerOr at St; Helena
by Dr. Automarchi, was obtained under
great difficulties There was not an
ounce of plaster of paris to be had on
the island, therefore the doctor scoured
the cliffs in every direction for a piece
of gypsum. This ’he at last found and
calcined until powdering’ Was possible.
On this account the work was very
crude, but, thls notwithstanding he had
an offer of six thousand pounds sterling
(about thirty thousand dollars) for the
cast before it was a month old. Sev-
eral of the replicas. are now valued at
twentvfhousand dollars each. .

NOT»AN INFERNAL MACHINE.
l Only a Harmless Little Ring;r clicking on
' satchel Lock.
tric light for one of the passenger trains
between Chicago and Omaha. on the
Milwaukee road »was the cause of an
interesting episode in the sleeper the
other night, says the Chicago “Times-
Herald. 1 '
A Stranger Of rather mysterious
aspect got on at Elgin on a west-bOund
train. He had a queer-locking satchel
with him, which he pushed under the
seat. When the porter acame to make
up the berths he put» the satchel on an
adjoining seat. ' '
Presently he paused in the midst of
his bed-making, and, fixing both eyes
on the satchel, stared at it. His orbs
seemed to grow as he did so. Finally
he cautiously approached the owner
and said:
“Excuse me, Sah, but has you got any
'kind ob clockwork in dat grip, sah?”
The stranger looked at him for a mo‘
ment with evidentfisurprise and replied
that he had not.
“Well, excuse me, sah, but dey’s
where, sah, and seems to me it bettah
be looked up. I’ve hearn of dem t’ings
gom’ 01f. ” .
By this time two or three other pas-
sengers and the conductor had come
up, and became interested in the situa-
tion. The ticking was distinctly audi-
ble and seemed to come from the “in-
wards” of the grip. The stranger
seemed to be as much interested as
anybody, and remarked that his wife
might have put in the bedroom clock
instead of his collar box. He opened
the satchel, but investigation into all
its recesses failed to solve the mystery.
As he closed it up the ticking began
again, and everybody was more puz-
zled than ever until the conductor no~
ticed that the little ring which is at-
tached to all satchel locks to assist in
opening was swinging to and fro with
the vibrations caused by the dynamo
and so produced the regular “tick-tick”
which had alarmed the porter. Then
everybody laughed, and the porter went
on with his work.
CAT STOPS A MONKEY FIGHT.
Simian: near the Feline Spit and Lose All
Combativeness.
A battle royal between monkeys took
place one afternoon recently, says the
New York Journal, in the window of a
downtown animal importer, to the
great delight of all who could crowd
conflict.
Six young monkeys were playing in a
cage behind a big plate-glass window.
Suddenly the monkeys took it into
their heads to scrap. They sprang at
each other in the wildest way and hair
flew at a lively rate.
There was no apparent reason why
the creatures should have gone at each
other, but go at each other they did. .A
Donnybrook fair was notin it compared
with the way these monkeys plugged
and chewed each other. Each one
seemed to be for himself and against
all the others.
The crowd of men and boys on the
sidewalk yelled with excitement for
several minutes.
Finally a boy who is employed at a
neighboring restaurant appeared with
a big gray and black cat in his arms.
“Let me get near the window,” he
cried, “and I’ll bet my cat will scare
the life out of the whole lot of them
monkeys.” '
The crowd let the boy through. The
lad held his Thomas eat up to the glass,
and instantly Mr. Cat straightened out
his whiskers and commenced spitting.
That was enough. ’
The gang of monkey fighters heard
the spitting and quit. Their fury was
quieted in a jiffy, and they jumped to
the farthest corner of the cage with a
unanimity that was as pronounced as
their mutual aggressiveness had been.
CHESS AN INTELLECTUAL VICE
Opinion Of Blackburgzlie English Cham-
pion—~Men Ruined by the Game.
Mr. Blackburne, the English chess
champion, regards the game as a dan-
gerous intellectual vice, which is
spreading to rather an alarming extent.
Discussing the matter he said: “I know
a lot of people who hold the view that
chess is an excellent means of training
the mind in logic and shrewd calcula-
tion. provision and caution. But I
don’t find these qualities reflected in the
lives of chess players. They are just as
fallible and foolish as other folk who
don‘t know a rook from a. pawn. But
even if it were a form of mental dis-
cipline, which I doubt, I should still
object to it on the ground of 'its fatal
fascination. Chess is a kind of mental
alcohol. It inebriates the man who
plays it constantly. He lives in a chess
atmosphere, and his dreams are of
gambits and the end of games. I have
known many an able man ruined by
chess. The game has charmed him,
and, as a consequence, he has given up
everything to the charmer. N 0, unless
a man has supreme self-control, it is
better that he should not learn to play
chess. I have never allowed my chil-
of its evil results. Draughts is a better
game if you must have a game.”
._ ‘ Boy’s Composition on Sailors.
The folloWing is declared to be the
work of a pupil in an English elemen-
tary school: “Seamen are what we call
sailors, and captains, and training ship
boya. The sailors you see in the streets
are nice little fat men, with red and
brown faceS. They ware boys’ coats
and hats, and their trousers are too tite
for them up above and too wide for
them do 7vn below. It makes them feel
because their necks are so thick; and
they always have their bootsblacked
for fear the captain might see- them
around a corner- They don’t carry
their best close in boxes, but they ty
them up in big red and blue handker-
chiefs, just like Christmas, puddens.
Sailors are very fond of their mothers
and sisters, and you nearly always see
them taking them out to walk. .. The
reason whysailors like to get drung is
becose it makes them roll about like as .
if they were on the occant.” 3. i .
