The time is probably not far dish-.2
when pneumatic tubes will take 1‘
place of wagons in New York in tra...
mitting mails from one point to '11.
The work is already begun, r
when complete the New York lines w;
run from the general postoflice to t‘.
Produce Exchange, to the Forty-seco
street depot, to One Hundred a1..-
Twenty-fifth street, and across thr-
bridge to Brooklyn. The line to the
Produce-Exchange and return has al-
ready been constructed and was opened
‘last year, while the Forty-seconc'
street line is rapidly approaching com
pletion. New York’s tube is eight in-
ch-es in diameter, two inches largei
than that in Philadelphia, and the
mails travel through it at a speed oi
thirty miles an hour, the capacity thus
being forty or fifty times greater than
that of the largest tubes in use
Europe. Briefly stated, the system 01
pneumatic transmission consists of the
transmission of messages or small par-
cels, by the pressure of the atmosphere
or the action of compressed air.

2 A. Mernde Remembrance.
Mlle. Cleo de Merode, she of the faii
face and invisible ears when she re
turned to Paris and told of the incon-
siderate way in which the American
newspapers had treated her, told the
French reporters that the only com
pensation she found for this harsh con
duct was in the great appreciation o;
the public and the more highly pro
fitable admiration of society, which
paid her large sums to dance in its
most exclusive drawing-rooms. I]
Mlle. Cleo ever danced in any draw-
ing-rooms here they must have been
of a most exclusive character, as no
news of this feature of her stay ever.
As a matter oz
fact, she was probably never asked to
dance in private, although she says
steps by the New York millionaires.
She told the reporter that these sums
with her salary had brought her
American earnings up to $24,000. They
were somewhat more than one-third
of that sum. At least she received that
sum and her thrifty mother is known
to have scattered it. with no great reck-
lessness.
Foreign Artists as Private Entertainers.
Foreign entertainers find it very dif
ficult to get drawing-room engage-
ments in New York now, and the days
in which Marie Van Zandt and Edou-
ard de Reszke used to get $1,000 for a
few songs, seem to have passed. Mlle.
Van Zandt once grew very indignant
because a check was handed to her on
a silver waiter by a‘butler in the pres-
ence Of the guests she had been enter-
taining. Nowadays she would be lucky
to get the check under any circum-
stances. The Iast singer to be paid so
muchfor drawing-room work was
Emma Calve, and that was not on her
last visit. Rejane in that same winter
appeared in. two or three houses, and
was paid very generously. But Yvette
Guilber-t could not get an engagement
to save her life. The only places that
employ singers now are some of the
clubs, and their entertainments include
artists of every description, from the
serio-comics to the most exalted. Ada
Rehan acted in one club last winter,
and this year a well—known singer is
to receive $1,400 for a performance of
“The Barber of Seville" at another.
The nature of some of these perform
ances is a marvel to the members. One
athletic club gives a regular smoker,
which reveals to its members the same
old list of variety actors that they
compelled to see in every music hall
they go to. The only variety is sup~
plied by a. somewhat more‘intense de'
meanor on the part of the women
dancers and singers. and possibly. a
greater latitude in the field of the
c-omedians’ jokes.
Chasing for Clients.
Late on Saturday afternoon a
boy was knocked down by a. cab on
Upper Broadway and carried into a
doorway to ,rest until the ambulance
arrived. He was not seriously injured,
and he was conscious all the time. In
the crowd that gathered about him was
a woman who was most-sympathetic
and assiduous in her attentions, and at
one stage of the game she retired to a
neighboring confectionery and bought
the child a box of candy which he
was not too seriously injured to seize
enthusiastically. She was an employs

w‘HAr' iS TRIPLE EXTRACT?
the Process by “ liich the Odor of Fowers
‘ is Obtained.
Flowers that me to be used in the
manufacture of perfumes are always
gathered at nightfall or quite early in
the morning when. the dew is upon
them. Before they are gathered, how- ,
ever, receptacles are prepared for them
in the shape of large frames, over
which are stretched cotton cloths well
saturated with Olive oil or almond oil.
The cut flowers are brought in, and are
thickly spread on a frame; their anoth-
er frame is fitted over it, and that in
turn is well spread with flowers; then
a. third frame is fitted over the second
spread of flowers, and thus the work
goes on until a huge pile of ,fiowers is
p1epared.
This fi0we1 heap is left fo1 two days,
at the end of which time the fioweis
are removed from the frames and re-
placed by fresh ones. The frames are
filled and emptied every two days until
two weeks have passed. Then the
cloths are detached from the frames
and placed under great pressure, and
all the oil is pressed out of them. The
011 thus obtained is heavily charged
with the fragrance of the flowers,
and it is mixed with double
its weight of pure rectified spire
its and put in a vessel called a-
“digester,” which is simply a p01ce1a1n
or block—tin kettle that fits in another
kettle. When in use the outer vessel
is filled with boiling water.
In this vessel the mixture of oil and
spirits “digests” for three or four days;
then, after having cooled, the spirit is
decanted into another vessel holding
the same quantity of fragrant oil, and
the digesting process is repeated. After
being thus digested three times the
spirit is found to have taken up enough
of the perfume, and it is then decanted
from the oil for the third and last time
through a tube, one end of which is
filled with cotton wool to serve as a
filter. The fluid thus prepared is called
"triple extract.”—Philade1phia Times.

PERILS of? GUNNERY PRACTICE. '
Outsidcls Know Little of the _Dau’gcr In-
curred on War Ships.
An officer of the United States navy
relates’t‘the following as illustrating
some of the perils of gunnery, at sea:
“I came very near going up into the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
atsea, and but for the quickness of a
gunner’s mate would never have re-
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The of-_
deer in command of the forward tur-
ret on our ship during rapid-firing
practice was just about topress the
ibutton to fire one of our. big guns,‘
when a gunner’s mate was seen :to grab
at'something on the the wall of the
turret and then fall in a. heap on the
floor. The ofiicer pressed the button,
but the gun was not discharged. When
the mate came to he was asked what
had happened, and he informed the of-
ficer that the breech of the gun had not
been locked, and that what he grab-
bed at on the wall was the Wires form~
lng the electric firing circuit. When
he saw that the ofiicer was preparing
to fire the gun, and at the same time
observed that the breech of the gun
was not locked, the only thing that
occurred to him to prevent the gun
neing discharged was to destroy the
circuit, which he did promptly and ef—
lectively. When all this occurred
there was a. charge of 250 pounds of
powder in the gun, another charge of
the same size in the turret ready to be
served, and the passageway leading to
the powder magazine was wide open.
But. for the quickness of the gunner’s
- mate the gun would have been blown
taut inside the turret, the gases from
the burning powder w0uld probably
have ignited the charge lying in the
turret, this explosion would have ignit-
ed the powder in the magazine, and the
. chances are that the whole ship, crew
and all, would have gone up in the
tin—San Francisco Chronicle.
TREATMENI' OF SICK IN TURKEY.
l‘he Discouragements aPliysiclan Has too
Contend Against.
The task of the physician in Turkey
ls not an easy one, for he finds work-
.ng against him not only the discour-
j1ging conviction of the people that
whatever is must be, but their oft-
proved preference for tailsmans and
superstitious practices to any medi-
:ines he can give them. How can one
. ieal scientifically with people who re-
gard this as the proper way to treat a
baby suffering with anything fiom
:roup to stomach ache: First, get a
nen‘s egg, then make sevenround holes
. in the shell and empty out the contents
through these holes.' Then dip the
perforated eggshell under water and
- lift it quickly over a basin, so that the
water it holds will stream into the
basin. Repeat this operation thirty—
uine times until the basin has received
forty shellfuls of water streamed
through the seven holes. Finally, wash
'the sick baby in the basin thus filled,
Ind there is nothing more to be done.
Of course the death rate among chil-
lren is deplorably high, but that does
tot change the people’s belief.

Around the World.”
A good deal of worry was undergone .
by both author and publisher before '
the above title was selected for the
book. It was erroneously stated not
long ago that the name chosen for .the
volume referred to Mark Twain’s fOrn

famous. An objection Was raised to

MARK TWAIN.
Of “Following the Equator” the all:
thor recently said: “Regarding my
book of travels, the story of my jour-
ney around the world, everybody has
done his little circumnavigation act,
and I thought it about time I did mine,
so I have been getting it ready, and it
ls just my impression of the world at
large. I go into no details. I never
do, for that-matter. Details are not
my strong point, unless I choose for
my own pleasure to go into them seri-
ously. Besides I am under no contract
to. supply details to the reader. All
that I undertake to do is to interest
him. If I instruct him that is his fate.
He is that much ahead.”
The dedication of “Following the
Equator” is a characteristic morsel. It
runs as follows;
THIS BOOK
Is AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED
T0
My Young Friend
HARRY ROGERS,
with recognition
of what he is, and apprehension of
what he may become. unless he
form himself a. little more
closely upon the model of
The Author.
One of the most. striking pictures in
the book illustrates the “Legend of the
Hindoo Samson.” In his quaint way
Mark Twain tells the Oriental tale of
Hanuman, a. Samson and Atlas com-
bined, who Carried the mountainsin-
land from the sea and scattered them
here and there in India.
That the legend cannot be success-
fully scouted, says Mark Twain. is
proved by the fact. that the mountains
are to be seen to- «lay just. where Han-
uman placed them.
In following the equator Mark Twain
conscientiously endeavored to enlarge
his long list of accomplishments. In
India he took a lesson in elephant rid~
lng. He says:
To the elephant stables and I took
it ride, but it was by request—I did— not
ask for it and I did not want it, but I
took it because otherwise they would
have thought I was afraid, which I
was. The elephant- kneels down by
command—one end of him at a time—-
and you climb the ladder and get into
- the howdah, and then he gets up, one
end at a time, just as a ship gets over
a wave; and after that, as he strides
monstrously about, his motion is much,
like a ship’s motion. The mahout
bores into the-back of his head with a.
great iron prod, and you wonder at his
Lemerity and at the eiephant’s patience,
and you think that perhaps the pa-
tience will not last: but. it does, and
nothing happens. The mahout talks
to the elephant in a low voice all the
time, and the elephant seems to un-
derstand it all and to be pleased with
it, and he obeys every order in the
most contented and docile way. Among
these twenty-five elephants were two
which were larger than any I had ever
seen before, and if I had thought I
could learn to not be afraid I would
have taken one of them while the no
lice were not looking.
