Worth $1,500—Mr. trauma... Whip.
“Jay Gould is the niost economical man
in the matter ‘Of whips I ever knew," said

a‘small manufacturer on West Forty-sec-
ond street. “Twenty years ago, I made

awhipfor him for $100, and he has only

had it repaired once. About the same time
I made onefor Harry Hill for $50, and an-
other for Mr. Hammond, of the Murray
Hill Hotel, for $75. -Ail expensive whips
are made from the customer’s own design.
Mr. Murray’s whip was studded ivory
scroll-work for the stock, mounted in gold,
and bearing his monogram." ‘

A well known jewelry house recently
sent up to the Forty-«second street whip-
maker an ivory handle with delicate scroll
work and gold mounts. In the stock of
this whip were forty-seven diamonds, and
the value of the whip was said to be $5,000.
The owner Wanted a new snapper on her
whip, and instead cf putting one on her-
self or telling her coachman to get some
whipcord and make a snapper, or sending
it to her saddler’s, she sent it back to
Union Square and had her jeweler send it
to the whipmaker; - Another stock fer
which he had made a whip was made of a
rhinocerous tusk, into which was set a
large diamond.

At another store the reporter was shown
Iadies’ whips at prices ranging from $12 to
$100. Some of these contained at the end
of the stock a miniature watch; some
were fitted with a parasol for phaeton
driving, and some were a combination of
Whisky flask and Whip.

Another novelty was a whip braided
with crimson silk and embroidered in
green, which the maker said would be
very fetching near the race track.

There are three kinds of whips—the
straight or buggy whip.,the lash whip,
and for riding, the English crop. The crop
is a handsomely mounted, short, straight
stick, with a-flat leather thong atvthe end,
into which may or may not be fastened a
lash.

The manager of one large company said:

“The whip trade of America is carried
on almost exclusively in Westfleld, Mass,
where there are no less than forty-six
whip factories.

“We, alone, employ 450 men, boys and
girls. On an average our firm turns out
2000 dozen whips a week, but there was a
week last month in which we turned out
6700 dozen. We make all Bismarck’s
whips, and we make them for the German
Emperor. We sell many whips to English
actors, who take them home as presents
to their friends. They seem to be fond of
this whip, for instance. You see, it is
made like afiute or fishing rod, and can
be disjointed and carried in the pocket."

Persons walking through Chambers
street might have seen in a whip-shop
window two whips of remarkable beauty.
They had handsomely carved ivory stocks.
were gold-mounted and made of solid
whalebone studded with iVOry half way
up to the snapper. One of these was
marked $75, and the other, in the stock of
which there glistened a diamond, was
marked $150. _ ' -

“In the c0mmerclal worl ," said the
New York agent of one of the Massachu-
setts factories, “ivory stands in value next
to gold, and it is the carving of large
pieces of ivory that makes whips so ex-
pensive.”

Another manager said that a few years
ago whalebone was plentiful at $3 a
pound, while now it is scarce at $10 per
pound. ‘

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

United States was made by us for a
Frenchwoman. It was paid for by an
American and cost $1500. The stock was
carved ivory, gold and jewels. The Whip
itself was hard whalebone "braided with
tapering whalebone thread. It took two
weeks to braid the whip. ' 1

“To-day a farmer took a. very antique
whip which he had left with us to be re-
aired. It is ‘ over 100 years old. He
- ught it at a country auction for $36, and
nity. He refused it. It- was a‘ very

792 and it will be on exhibition at the
lumbian Fair'in Chicago. Americaleads

hings, and the Englishmen have found
his out long ago. A year ago a number
f noblemen sent a man over here to pick

.. _lish lash-whips and aléo in crops.
“Most of the swell guardsmen who
I 've tandem,” said the dealer, "send here
1', their whips, much to the chagrin of
ne London saddlers."

Probably the most remarkable whip
or made is that now owned by the Van-
rbilt family and formerly the property
the late W. H. Vanderbilt... The history
this hasnever before been recorded.

In the fall of 1880 the JacksOn It Wooden
Company of Berwick, Penn., wanted
present Mr. Vanderbilt With a token of
eir appreciation, and Mr. Jackson de-
, oed upon a fine whip. Fritz Kalden—
rg, the ivory sculptor, was consulted
onut the matter, and made a design to
'v st $2,000, which was accepted.

The whip and ivory stock, before any
rving was done, cost $600, and was
I :06 in Westfield, 118.85. -It was seven
, t long. Above the stock the whip was
». e of solid whalebone, then worth$3

Iius for advertising purposes, but the

The German Fan Exhibi‘tlo ,at Carl!-
ruhe, the capital of Baden, is an‘eexeep-
tion‘ally rich one, consisting of 3,484 ob-
jects, and for the historian of art, the art,
critic and cepecially for ladies, is of the
greatest interest. In order to give vari-
l‘5‘th to the exhibition, other articles have

on accepted, such as snufl-boxes, orna-
ments, walking-sticks and antiquities of
many kinds. Among other things is the
frame of a parasol of lapls lazuli, a pres-
ent from the late Emperor William to his
daughter, the Grand Duchess. The
Grand Duke of Baden sent in a rich collec-
lection of snuff-boxes, sticks,seals, carved
ivory, etc.; the Princess William of Baden
and Prince Louis Ferdinand of Bavaria,

a number of fans dating from the last cen—_

fury, and others of the time of Louis
XIV.; the Hereditary, Crown Princess of
Weimar, twenty-two antique fans. A
court lady of Munich exhibits acollection
of fans painted? with scenes from nearly
all Wagner’s operas. There are several

specimens of the so-called autograph fan.- ‘

The Baroness Friederichsy possesses a
fan on which are the signatures of all the
diplomatists who attended the Berlin
Congress, and Countess Oriole. has one of
the same kind with the signatures of the
Royal family and the Berlin Court, includ-
ing those of Prince von Bismarck and
Count Moltke. There also fans exhibited
which show on every spray a small study
of a great artist.—-Pall Mall Gazette.

 

Harnessing the Tide.

Felix Starhcnberg, a Swoodish inventor,
has undertaken to harness New York Bay
to a motor, which will mov‘ all the mach-
inery in New York city. His motor is set
in motion by the raise of the tide. He
says that he has learned a mode of apply-
ing one of the greatest forces in the world,
the rise of the tide in all the oceans. He
says that it will produce limitless power
at one-tenth. the cost of steam or electri-
city.

Yesterday afternoon Starhenberg took
a model of his machine down to pier A
and experimented with it in the presence
of a large crowd. He placed the model on
the water. The action of the waves
caused a balance wheel. ten inches in

diameter, to revolve at the rate of 200 or,

300 revolutions a minute. The machine
ran about twenty minutes before the in-
ventor took it out of the water. He said
that a small motor, operated by the power
of the the tide alone, eculd run a- dynamo
that would light a pier.

The water motor weighed about twenty
pounds. It was kept in a box about ten
feet long and about six inches wide. Two
weights descended from the machine into
the water. It was the action of the water
on the weights which made the motor go.
Inventor Starhenberg thinks his machine
will'revolutionize the world.

One Horse Power.

When men first begin to become familiar
with the methods of measuring mechani-
cal power, they often speculate on where
the breed of horses is, to be found that
can keep at work raising $3,000 pounds
one foot per minute, or the equivalent,
which is more familiar to some mechan-
ics, of raising 830 pounds 100 feet per
minute. Since‘ 83,000 poundsu raised one
foot per minute is called one horse power,
it is natural that people should think the
engineers who established that 'unit
of measuremet based it on what horses
could really do. But the horse that can
do this work does not exist. The horse-
power unit was established by James
Watt about a century ago, and the figures
were fixed in a curious way. Watt found
that the average horse of his district could
raise 22,000 pounds one foot per minute.
At that ‘time Watt was employed in the
manufacture of engines, and customers
were so hard to find that all kinds of arti-
ficial inducements were necessary to in—
duce power users to buy steam engines.
As a method of encouraging them Watt
offered ,toseil engines reckoning 33,000
foot pounds to a horse power. And thus
he was the means of giving a false unit to
one of the most important measurements
in the world—Rider and Driver. ‘

About Cow' Bells._ L x

The bell seen on a cow’s neck lookalike
avery ordinary article. but in reality it is

diflerent from any other kind of bell in -
use, and is made cepecially fer the put»

pose. There are-several thousand sold
annually in this country, and ninety per
cent, if not more of them, are made at
Collinsville,w'her‘e the industry has as-
sumed quite important proportions, ship-

ments of cow-bells going to . Mexico and;
. t- .
points. The dcmshd from western ranches” -

Canada, and even much-1f smore-Vdi‘

used to be very large, and it is still heavy,

for notonlyis there a .bell-carrier‘ortwo‘

in most herds, but there is almost always
a. reliable, slow-going old mare in. a horse

or mule herd, her location being indicated

at an immense distance by the bell, and
the presence of the younger animals
around her being assured. The cow-bell
has acovering of copper, and used to'he

quite.- an expensive article, ,but of late
years: improvements in machinery and
reduced cost tofu material have brought the-

price dbwu to ”about a. fourth of the old
standard. There is little sale in large
toms now to what there used tobe before
stock laws were so rigidly enforced. St.

Experience of a fidm'm

The bark Guy 0. Coca, with a cargo of.-
$500,000 worth of tea, dropped anchor'here

(forty-four days from Yokohama and’long

overdue. says the San Francisco Exam-
iner. The voyage was very rough. She
has 14,576 packages of tea for Chicago.
Captain William Hallette tells astoryot
one of the most remarkable occurrences
since the time d Jonah, the prophet. _

When fifteen days out, Tom Hiskalski a .

Japanese sailor, during a gale, mounted
the topsail to reef it. A lurch of the vessel

threw, him headlong into the sea, and _ he ,
was seen to suddenly disappear. - The life- .

boat was put out but when it was return-
ing to the vessel a whole was seen to rise
to the surface. They then suSpected what
had become of the sailor, and the whale
seemed to be in great distress.

Suddenly, after a violent convulsion,
Hiskaiski was thrown from the whale’s
mouth, and a crest of a wave landed him
upon the deck of the Goss. He was uncon-
scious and badly injured. Careful nursing
brought him around, and he is now in a
normal condition. Captain Mallette
vouches for the truth of this story.

A Large Garden, This. ' .

Cathay claims the largest garden in the
world, as well as the largest in population.
It is called the “‘Garden of China." and
has an area around and about Shanghai of
50,000 square miles, or as large as , the
States of New York and Pennsylvania
combined? It is all meadow land, raised
but afew feet above the river, and having
lakes, ponds, and canals. The land is un-

The Only Blue Gum Negro in Texas.

Lu fkin has a curiosity in the person of
Gideon Crane, the only “blue gum" negro
now in Texas. This negro, from documen-
tary evidence now in his possession, is a
living descendant of 9. cm ned m arch
of Stanley's dark continen , and he ' y
admits tothose to whom he gives his con-
fldence that his bite is more deadly than
the adder of the East or the. rattlesnake,“
the What. Strange as it may seem, the
race'so graphically described in the British
Encyclopcedia is now nearly extinct, and
stranger still that Lufkin should 'be‘the
home of one who counts himself one
amongthe last of the dreaded who
carry with them instant death to a at'e'd
enemy. “Gld,” as he is familiarly called,
is a quiet andinoffensive negro, untll'thor-
oughly aroused, when the venom of his
passion is seen in the putrid green of his
eye, and woe betide the victim upon whOm
he eccentrates his anger or fastens his
fangs. He is now the humble keeper of a
hostelry in our town, and serves meals at
all hours to the hungry wayfarer, and

without sugar,” they simply take coffee
without sugar.-—San Antonio Express.

Portland, Oregon, founds its hOpes of a
metropolitan future on the fact that its

agrees with that of such cities as London,
Berlin, Moscow, Peking, New York and
Pittsburg. That “great city line” now
really crosses the Pacific coast lands near
the mouth of the Columbia River, but is
