INDICATIONS OF PEACE.
Believed That the Lehigh Trouble
Will Be Settled in a. Few Hours.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-—Indications
this morning leads to the beleif that the
Lehigh Valley strike may be at an end
within the next 24 hours. It is believed,
A committee of leaders in the various
orders to which the strikers belong ar-
rived here this morning and went into
conference with the view.
of arranging some plan of settlement to
be presented to the Lehigh officials.
President Wilbur received seven mem-
bers of the New Jersey and New York
state boards of arbitration this morning“
The result of the interview was nOt made
public.
Notwithstanding the prospect of a set-
tlement of the trouble the strikers at all
points were this morning as firm in their
stand, and the officials as positive in their
claims that the strike was a thing of the
past so far as they were concerned.
The operation of train service to-day
shows no change over yesterday.
One rumor that gained considerable cre-
dence this morning was in effect that the
leaders would reach a decision today be-
tween two expedients, namely, calling the
strike off or calling out the employes of
the Jersey Central.
Evidently a crisis in the trouble is
about due.
Green Hands Cause Another \Vreck.
IVILKFsBAnnE, Nov. 29.—Lehigh Valley
engine No.‘ 187 bound from Mauch Chunk
to Coxton with along train of freight cars
with a helper in the rear, ran into a Jersey
Central coal train at the south Wilkes-
barre crossing at midnight. Six cars of
coal were overturned and the Lehigh en-
gine derailed and badly wrecked. The
crew of the Valley train Were non-union
men and deserted their train. The Jersey
Central train had the right of way. No
one was injured.
RESCUED FROI‘I THE RIGGING.
A Day of Terror for the Crew of the
Schooner Louise H. Randall.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—During the fierce
rain-permeated gale of yesterday morning
the schooner Louise H. Randall went
ashore about an eighth of a. mile off
Smith’s Point and the tremendous "seas
began at once destruction of the vessel.
At 4 o’clOck in the morning the captain,
his wife and son, and the crew took to the
rigging where they were seen at daylight
by life savers.
Life saving apparatus from three sta-
tions were called into requisition. Each
crew made an effort to reachthe wreck
with life lines fired from their mortars,
and each was uusuccest'ul. One projec~
tile reached the schooner, but the line
parted. - ‘
The work was kept up all day, but
without avail. and when night came and
the sea was still too rough to permit the
launching of life-boats, it was feared that
the untortunates in the rigging were
doomed to watery graves, a. tug, be-
longing to Merritt wrecking company,
was seen approaching and shortly after-
ward was ulongsxde the wreck and with
much diiliculty the work of rescuing the
people was accomplished.

LOCALITY.
The Turtle Took a Direct Route for Home
—Experimont| with Bees.
An interesting experiment was tried
by a Maine farmer’s family not long
fflSTINCT 07'
since with a mud turtle which had .
been brought to the house from a Small
' pond a. quarter of a. mile away, says
the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. It was
noticed that when set free the reptile
traveled OH in the direction of the
pond (“going back home,” said one of
the lads), and this led them to put him
to the test. He was tried under a great
variety of circumstances which might
tend to confuse even a. mud turtle of
uncommon mental capacity, but put
him down in whatever way they
would, or anywhere, he would instant-
ly turn his stubby nose straight for
the pond and walk off with every ap-
- pearance of one who knows he is right
and intends to go ahead. He evident- '
1y had the same instinct or supernat
ural knowledge so often observed in
pigs, dogs and cats, which will take a
bee line for home when'they could not
possibly know its direction by any
power of observation possessed by
human beings.
It may not be amiss to note in con—
nection with the turtle incident the
experiments tried by an eminent Eng-
lish naturalist with bees, which pos-
sess the same peculiar knowledge of
d'zrection. He took bees from their
hive and carried them in a close box
by a circuitous course to a point at a
considerable distance away; but on lib-
eration they would start straight for
the hive. After testing this repeated-
,ly, he stopped on the way while carry-
ing the box, and whirled it rapidly
around his head a number of times.
Then when liberated the bees were
confused and flew about in various di-
rections, not knowing where to go.
From this he attributed the faculty of
flying straight for home to result from
the keen attention paid by the bees to
the direction taken while they were
being carried away and which the
whirling of the box upset completely.
FASTER THAN THE MOON.
Extraordinary Velocity of a. Shot from a
French Gun.
Quite independently of any questions
as to the advantages of modern ord- '
nance in actual warfare. the scientific
aspects of certain recent achievements
in gunnery are eminently noteworthy.
It appears, says the London Graphic,
that a gun has been constructed at
Ruelle which has an internal diameter
of 6.49 inches. The length of the bore
is no less than 481/2 feet—that is to say,
about ninety times the diameter. The
advantage sought by giving such un-
usual proportions to" the weapon is to
enable the pressure of the gases pro-
duced by the exploding powder to act
as long as possible on the projectile.
By this means a. velocity of projection
has been obtained which is, I believe,
a rccord-perfonnance. Not many years
ago a velocity of 1,300 feet per second
imparted to the missile at the momentof
issue from the muzzle would have been .
considered a good result. But with
the remarkable piece of artillery whose
dimensions have just been specified,
a. speed three times as great is stated
to have been obtained. The actual
figure indicated by the delicate instru«
ment employed in such measurements
is 3,981 feet per second. This tremend-
;ous velocity is more than three-quar-
ters of a mile per second. No doubt
the earth hurries along in its orbit at
a. rate more than twenty times greater
than that which this cannon has com-
municated to its projectile, so that our
globe need fear no rivalry from artil-
lery. But the moon must look to its
laurels. It appears that our satellite
only accomplishes about 3,330 feet per
second in its revolution round the
earth. We thus learn that now, for
the first time, a piece of ordnance has
been constructed capable of launching
forth a missile with a. velocity actually
exceeding that with which the queen
of night wands hcr solitary way.
EXPENSIVE CHAIRS.
Some That Belonged to Royalty in Past
Ages.
The shahvof Persia owns the most ‘
valuable arm-chair in theworld. He
has an arm-chair of solid gold, inlaid
with precious stones. About a, year
ago, says Tid—Bits, some of the stones
were stolen from one of the legs of the
chair, and the shah, full of indigna-
tion, ordered the arrest of a number of
servants and the keeper of the palace
responsible for the furniture, with the
intimation that if‘the thief was not dis-
covered thc keeper would be beheaded.
The culprit being eventually found, he
was forthwith beheaded and his head
carried on a- pole by the imperial body-
guard through the streets of Teheran.
A’ valuable arm-r hair is in the posses-
sion of the earl of Radnor. It original-
ly cost £40,000, and was presented by
the city of Augsburg to Emperor Ru-
dolph II., of Germany, about the year
1576. It is of steel, and took the artist
about thirty years to make. The chair
became the property of Count Tessin,
ambassador from the court of Sweden
to the English court. Gustavus Bran-
der afterwards bought it, as an an-
tique, for 1,800 guineas. ‘ 0f chairs
once owned by British celebrities, some
were lately sold by auction: Shake-
speare’s for £126; Gay’s, £30; Theodore
Hook’s, £19; Bulwer Litton’s, £13;
Anne Boleyn’s, £10 10s.; Charles II.’s,
£10; Mrs. Siddons’, £7; Pope’s, £5 108.;
Mrs. Browning’s, £5; Thackeray’s, £3
105., Walter Savage Landor’s, £3 105.;
Lord Byron’s, £2 105.; Sir lVa-lter
Raleigh’s, £2.
Cheese for the Bride.
In Switzerland the orange and myrtle
blossoms, those graceful symbols at
weddings, find their substitute in
Grnyere cheese. On the day of
her marriage the bride receives
a whole .Gruyere, cheese, which is
religiously preserved in the family.
As time goes on various marks and
notches are cut into it which serve to»
record the births, marriages, deaths,
etc., occurring in the household and
among the relatives. Anyhow it may".
always serve as provision for a. rainy
