Her name is Mrs. Chapln, and there is not a detail of the operation of the railway that she is not thoroughly familiar with. The system which she owns is practi- cally a belt line, and every place of in- terest in Tampa is touched by it. Some of the routes are of much beauty, and. one which runs. from the heart of the city to Ballast Point, a distance of six miles, is full of picturesque and other attractive features. On this particular line observation or double deck cars are used, and nearly every one takes seats on the upper deck under an awn- ing. On account of the many curves in the route the cars are run at a slow rat‘é, which is a matter of satisfaction, for it enables the passengers to more thoroughly enjoy the beauties of the pine woods, the fascinations of the or- ange groves and the glimpses of Tam- pa Bay, which are'obtained through the woods every few minutes. For some time it is said Mrs. Chapin has been endeavoring to extend her Ballast Point route to Port Tampa, but thus far difficulties in connection with the right of way have prevented her from carrying out her desires. At Bal- last Point, near which she has a fine residence, Mrs. C‘hapin owns consider-, able property, and here she has erect- ed an artistic pavilion of the Chinese style of architecture, which is used by dancing and pleasure parties from Tampa. Mrs. Chapin not only owns practical- ly all the stock of the Tampa street railway system, but she oversees all the details of its operation and herself directs them. She owns a handsome car, which she calls Fair Florida, and ' on this she takes daily trips allover her lines, and from it she directs the work of the road. While not a young woman, Mrs. Chapin is said to. be still in~the prime of life. She has a wonm derful capacity for business and pos- sesses strong powers of endurance.— Philadelphia Ledger. YALE’S TRAVELING LETTER. It Has Been Clrculated Among the Class Members for Fifty Years. Probably no letter in the whole _ world in all time has been travelling for so long as that of the class of ’44 of Yale College. Some fifty years ago some of the members undertook to keep a letter circulating, each man receiving it, adding whatever he con- sidered would interest the others, ‘and when the epistle got‘ around to him again removing his previous efiort and replacing it with a new one. So the letter went on its endless way year after year, and to-day it is still moving, telling to the aged men who are left of the ‘class of ’44 what their fellows are doing—of their successes and disappointments, of deaths, too often; as the class dwindles away be- fore the ruthless hand of time. Not all the survivors are members of the chain, but the letter writers are so well distributed that almost all the class- mates are heard from and hear the news contained in the letter. At present the letter makes a long journey in the intervals between its ar- rivals to any one man. A Worcester member is John A. Dana. He has just received the regretful comments of his classmates at the death of their old friend at college, Colonel John W. Wetherell, with comments on the newspaper biography which Mr. Dana had enclosed at his last sending. The letter had gone from Worcester to Lee, Mass; thence to Chicago, to Minneap- olis, to Passadena, .Cal.; Birmingham, Alabama; Cape May and another New Jersey town; Plantville, (Rina; Pitts- field, Somerville, and back to Worces- ten—Worcester Gazette. Gun Cotton in‘I Torpedoes. Torpedoes are loaded with gun-cot- ton, which is ordinary cotton fibre soaked with nitric acid. When gun- cotton is wet it is a. non-explosive ex- cept under certain peculiar conditions. Dry gun-cotton\is very explosive, and wet gun-cotton will explode if the dry is placed with it and subjected to a shock or an electric current or fire from a. fuse. It is the habit on men-of- war to keep the bulk of gun—cotton saturated with water and a small quantity of the dry for priming pur- poses locked up in the cabin or at some safe place where it will not be subject to contact and can easily be inspected. It is usually stored in a red steel box suspended to the wall or to one of the ribs of the ship. In another red box at a distance fro-m all other (1;- plosives are kept the fuses for the I I pedoes, which are made of the fulmi— nate of mercury. These also are in— spected every day and are never .re- moved except in case of action or Iar~ get practice—Chicago Record. A Town That Takes the Prize. Marlboro, Hartford County, Conn. has a population of 582, but only 79 persons voted at the last election. I: has no doctor, no lawyer, no clergy man who resides there, and its school- children number only 81.

Pays to Have Those That Are in a Good Condition. One of the most noteworthy feature: I ever introduced into stamp collecting. and one which bids fair to play an im- men, will this year make its presence strongly felt among the phlla-tellsts The feature referred to can be explain- ed in the one word “condition.” For months past this new criterion of val- - ue has been slowly but surely making its way into the good graces of the col- lector, and unless all signs fail it prom- ises to revolutionize prices before many more months shall have rolled by. That the value of a stamp depends largely upon the'order it is in has been admitted for a number of years, but the fact of the matter is the theory has rarely been put into practice. , As is well known, the value of a rare coin has always been regulated by its con- dition; for instance, a. piece which ‘ would be worth fifty dollars in a good state of preservation would scarcely bring fifty cents if badly worn or mu- tilated. So it willbe with stamps; il a specimen is heavily cancelled, torn.- faded, cracked or badly centered, il will not bring nearly so high a price a: if in good or fine condition. This new condition of things is going to alter the . value of a great many stamp collec- tions. The enthusiast who has been careless in selecting his stamps, taking here and there a damaged or otherwiso poor specimen, which he secured at a bargain price, will discover his cob lection decreasing in value year by year; while, on the other hand, he who has used care in the selection of hi: stamps, substituting a good specimen for a poor one whenever the opportu~ nity offered, will find that his collec- tion has increased in value very mate ‘ rially. ——Golden Days. Til-5.5 TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY. The Globe May be Circled in Thirty Day. “her: This Road is in Operation. Imperial Railway Commissioner Chilkoff has recently made a. long re port to the Czar concerning the Trans- Siberian Railway. The road will bi opened throughout its entire length next summer, and the journey may then be made from St. PeteISburg to Vladivostock in ten days. American rolling stock and locomotives will be chiefly employed. The Russian Com- missioner has obtained an interesting Iesult by calculating the actual run- ning time of the various railways and : :fully aware that we advertise on and exactly things as they~ are. steamship lines east and westaround the world, and comes to the conclusion that the globe may, in ordinary time: I and with present facilities, be circled 5 The itinerary i: " in thirty-three days. as follows: St. Petersburg to Vladi- vostock, 10 days; Viadivostock to San Francisco, 10 days; San Fransico, to New York, 4% days; New York to Bre men, 7 days; Bremen to St. Petersburg. 1% days. But by engaging specia. trains and the fastest steamers the tour may be reduced to twenty-eight days with an allowance of seven hours for delays. This itinerary is as follows. Moscow to Vladivostock, 149.1 hours;_ Vladivostock to San Francisco, 276 hours; San Francisco to New York, 73.] hours; New York to Plymouth, 133.2 hours; Plymouth to London, 3.2 hours; London to Moscow, 36 hours;' total 665.2 hours. It is suggested that when the Trans-Siberian Railway be com- pleted that a commission including Russian, English, German, French and American representatives, under the auspices of the Russian Government, make a tour of the world, following tho second itinerary. The Time Limit Motto. A Parson’s father is happy in tho possession of a parlor motto which reads, “God bless our home,” until 10 o’clock at night, and then, clicking noise suddenly changes front, and “Time to skip” meets the gaze of the astonished young man caller. The Parsons boys are said to understand it. ——Kansas City Journal.
