Ameri can Electrical Dlacllim- r \ Us- .1 2
tenslvely In London.
The headline of a. recent axrjrl:
"Pittsburg Is To Light Lond:n,"’ his
directed attention to the marked de-
mand which has set it in in England
for American electrical machinmy.
A prominent Pittsburg'firm has re—
ceived an order from a London com-
pany for an electric lighting plant,
which is to include three dyn-amos of
about 3,000 horse-power each, and to
cost nearly $500,000. This order, fol—
lowing on that of the new electric un-
derground road in London, which is
to be equipped with American ma—
chinery throughout, will doubtless
have the effect of renewing the lively
discussion which has been taking
place both in Parliament and out of
it in regard to the vogue of .American
apparatus in England. It has been
conceded by the London technical pa~
pers that this vogue is but the natural
outcome of the greater experience and
skill of the American manufacturers,
who have been for many years mak-
ing electrical equipments that their
English cousins have been chary 'of
putting their hands to. The most in.
fiuential engineering organ in London
in regard to the present activity in the
construction of electric 17 railways in
England, says “the large and increas-
ing contracts for this new industry
must be taken by Americans.” But,
in reality, this is no new phenomenon.
When the telephone came out in this
country it was soon exploited in Eng—
land; the arc light was taken over not
long after with brilliant financial suc-
cess, and the incandescent lamp fol-
lowed. Many of the English electrical
companies to-day are based on Ameri-
can inventions, and whenever any-
,thing new makes a hit here it is im-
mediately ca1ried over the water.
When the Brussels Exposition was be—
ing held it was remarked that one of
the finest things in the show was a
presentation in the British section by
an American firm in London of a very
fine exhibit of American trolley ma-
terial. W‘hile~ England might not
need it for herself, she was quite will-
ing to trade in it.—St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
A REMARKABLE RUN.
A Hound Chased a Fox Four Days, Cover-
ing bIore Than Seventy llIiles.
The most wonderful instance of the
unflagging perseverance of a fox-hound
that has ever been recorded occurred
in Scotland, in 1808, near Dunkeld. On
the 8th of June a. fox was observed
on the highroad, proceeding at a very
slow trot, and at a. short distance be-
hind it was a fox-hound, travelling at
the same gait. A countryman, by
running, caught the fox without diffi-
culty, and took it, together with the
dog, to the house of a. gentleman 'in
the neighborhood, where in the course
of a few hours the fox died.
'It was afterwards learned that the
hound belonged to the Duke of Gor-
don, and that he had started the fox
on the morning of the King’s birth-
day, on the top of the Monaliadh hills,
which divide Badenoch from Fort Au-
gustus. From this it appeared that
the chase continued four days, and
that the distance covered from the
place where the fox was started to
the spot where it was finally caught,
without allOwing for doublings and
crossings, but taking it in a. straight
line, as the. crow flies," exceeded
seventy miles—Harper’s R‘ou-nd Ta-
ble.
A SPIDER STORY.
Saved the Life of Frederick William,
Grand-Uncle to the German Ruler.
In one of the splendid rooms of the
palace of Potsdam one of the decora-
tions is the figure of a large spider
wrought in gold. According to_ the
Portland Oregonian, a. tradition as pic-
turesque and interesting as that told
of David of Israel and Robert Bruce
attaches to this piece of work. It
commemorates an incident in the life
of Frederick William, the granduncle
of the present Emperor of Germany.
An attempt had been made to poison
him in a cap of chocolate.
a spider fell into the cup and for this
reason the beverage was given to a.
dog, who immediately upon taking it
died. The cook was afterward hang-
ed, and the golden spider in-the Pots-
dam palace immortalizes the incident.
She Know How to Ride a. Tandem.
He was an estimable young man in
every way, and she was more than

the idea of wheeling his way into her
heart, he saved and hoarded his s'hek—
els and purchased a‘fine tandem. But
“the best-laid plans o’mice and men
gang aft agley.” They had ridden
some fifteen miles, and after slowly
and laboriously pedaling tothe top of
a. long hill he, after mopping his drip-
‘ping brow, gasped out convulsively:

“Speaking about storms”, said Capt.
William Dunbar Jenkins of the Area-
sas Pas HarbOr Company, “one hears
all sorts of stories about the cyclones
which have from time to time ravaged
the Gulf "coast. It was, in 1886 that a
very severe storm blew in the vicinity
of Rockport, and it was during the
blow that several miles of the sand
and shell embankment reared by Col.
Uriah Lott, the builder of the San An-
tonio and Aransas Pass road, was
washed into the bay. Col. Lott em-i
ployed a large number of Mexicans,
and many of these poor fellows were
camped on the embankment. When
morning dawned, after the \cyclone,
scores of them were missing and it
was thought drowned.
“As a matter of fact and considera-
ble surprise, not. a. single Mexican lost
his life. For
could be seen coming across the sand
marsh, each man wheeling his wheel-
barrow. When the men realized that
they were doomed to risk a watery
grave, every son-of—a—gun of them
grasped his wheelbarrow and floated
away in it. The barrows all grounded
as the water subsided, and the Mexi-
cans. made for the coast, and in the di-
rection of what remained of the em--

sumed on the roadbed, but large sec-
tions of the work are still noticeable
