In these days of fast motoring |
and high railway speeds It is inter-
esting to recall that it was i« July,
1829. some little time before Geo.
Stephenson had solved the problem
of steam transport, that Sir Golde-
worthy Gurney made his famous
journey in a “steam carriage” from
London to Bath and back. Gur-
ney was a surgeon in Marylebone,
greatly given to the working out of,
inventions in his spare time, and it
took him some years to complete
his first “motor” in his back yard in |
Albany street. He accomplished .the
journey to and from Bath at the rate.
of fifteen miles an hour, and there
was only one disturbing incident,
when a crowd assembled at Melk-
siiam set upon the machine, and
having burned their fingers, threw
stones and seriously wounded the
stoker. This Gurney journey stands
as the first example of locomotion by
steam in England.

Why Russell Sage Moves.
Russell Sage is going to move
from the modest little house in 5th
avenue. New York, where he has
lived for forty-two years. He can
no longer “stand for” his neighbors.
First some one put a candy store
next door to him. Then another
store was established on the other
side. At the rear of the candy store
is an immense fan designed to cool
the ice cream parlor. This fan is
right next to three of the window's
of his dining room . The noise it
makes is deaf^ing. On the Forty-
second street side there is a smoking
parlor, and as Mrs. Sage detests the
smell of tobacco she is compelled to
keep her windows closed. So they
arc going to move to the now desert-
ed mansion of the late Charles
Broadway Rouss. On one side lives

Albania lies i8oMiiles on the Ad-

wide. It was formed originally,
says William Jackson Armstrong,
in his "Heroes of Defeat," from
part of llyris, all of Epirus and
part of Macedonia in the eleventh
century. From this territory sprung
Pyrrhus, who defeated ihe Roman
invader; Philip and Alexander of
Macedon, the Conquerors; Perseus,
whose fame as a soldier covered
the world sixty years after Christ,
and* Skanderbeg, who for forty
years defeated armies sent against
him by the Turk. Ancient Albania
lay in Asia, just east of the Cau-
sus.
Hard Man to Handle.
Governor "Bob" Taylor, the fiddler
executive of Tennessee, was the au-
tocrat of Democratic politics in his
state. A factional split in the party
seemed likely on one occasion be*
cause of the sulkiness of one of the
district leaders who was noted for
his irritating stubbornness, and Gov.
“P«b" was appealed to by Senator
Carmack and other prominent state
politicians to bring the “insurrecto’J
into line.
“You can’t do anything with that
fellow," he said to the other leaders.
“He’s like a boil; devilish disagreea-
ble, hut you can’t sit on him.”
Seals Drive Off Cods.
Cod liver oil has lately been quot-
ed at a price nearly three times as
high as it commanded a year ago.
The explanation of the advance is
that practically the entire supply of
the oil used for medicinal purposes
comes from the Norway fisheries,
and the cod have been destroyed or
driven from their feeding grounds
by predatory .seals. Let us not judge
the seals too harshly; perhaps they
needed a nutritive stimulant. And,
anyway, they have given the Amer-
ican cod a fine chance to prove that
he is good for something besides
fish balls.
A “Family” in Europe.
Railway officials differ in the de-
grees of liberality in which they de-
fine the word “family," when used
on a pass. An American copied
the instructions of the Paris-Lyons-
Mediterranean railway bearing up-
on the subject as a lesson in liberal-
ity. On that road a pass for one
family is good for father, mother,
childrep, grandfather, grandmother,
mother-in-law, father-in-law, broth-
er, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-
law. uncle, aunt, nephew, niece and
servants attached to the family.

Electrio and Steam Railways.
It will perhaps surprise some per-
sons to learn that electric railways
carry eight times as many passen-
gers as steam railways carry. There
arc 987 electric railway companies,
against 2057 steam railway compa-
nies. The electric roads have 128,-
648 miles' of line, against 197,237
miles of steam line. The former
have 67,199 cars, against 1,550,833
cars ot) steam railways. The total
capitalization of electric roads is
$2,145,606,645, against $11,688,-
147,091 for the steam roads. The
earnings are $241,584,697, against
$1,588,526,037, and the npt income
$30,955,233. aRainst $241,511,318.
The electric roads are ahead also
in the number kiljed and injured,
the killed numbering }2i6, and the
injured 47,428, against a record of
hut 282 killed and 4988 injured on
the steam roads. The latter havi

Two German explorers are plan-

marine boats. They think it will
be easier to steam under the ice
pack and come out at or near the
pole than to climb over the pack
with dog sledges. They are not
afraid of getting lost, for they in-

find a parallel in modem politics.
He has lived to see the jubilee of
his first cnt^incc into cabinet rank,
and celebrated a few years ago the
fiftieth anniversary of his first cab-

parliament, whin Lord Rosebery
and Mr. Balfour were learning the
alphabet and when Mr. Chamber-

diameter will be about ten feet, and
inside will be an electric lamp with

which they are destined to cure. In-
cluded in the exhibit will be a plant
of marvelous qualities. It grows
wild and abundantly in the state of
Michoacan. The Indians claim that
whenever they enter a wood or place
where this plant grows its aroma
makes them lose their way, and they
are unable to return to their rome
or reach their destination until they
cease to smell the plant. Thestat*-
ment is said to have been f^ljtcon-

make a scientific study of its physi-
ological effects and an analysis of
its properties. A delegate has been
sent to Michoacan to obtain ^speci-

ther added that a person wearing a
branch of this peculiar plant in his
buttonhole will often be tost in his
native city, but the Tatter statement

A Sultan Inoognito.
The young Sultan of Johore bss

der his family name, and it was as
“Mr. Ibrahim” that hq was stopped
at Freemantlc bv the customs offi-
cials as a forbidden alien. The
late sultan, whose house name was
Abu Bakar, was known about Lon-
don and up the river as Mr. Al-
bert "Baker, and on one occasion
passed through one of the London
courts under that name. Some in-
timates occasionally called him Al-
bert ,but on one occasion—in a well
known billiard room in Colombo—a
partner in play tried to inspire him
to fresh effort with a too familiar
“Buck up, Bertie,” and greatly up-
set him. Both Albert Baker and
Mr. Ibrahim always expected to be
“highnessed" in the Eastern ports,
although the young sultan now gets
little deference the sort outside
the bounds of Johore Bahru.
Tho Railway a Peacemaker.
For preserving the pqacet in a
partly civilized country a railway,
according to a famous statesman, is
worth more than an army corps.
Although the railways which are
buildings from Haifa to Damascus,
in Palestine, and from Damascus
southward toward Mecca, arc pri-
marily for military purposes, they
will open irp a country which was
prosperous and fertile 2000 years
ago, but has since become one of
the waste places of the earth. They
are already using American harvest-
ing machinery on the plains of Jez-
reel. When the proposed railways
are finished there will be a demand
for the accompanying modem agri-
cultural maxdiincs. Galilee and the
country beyond Jordan will again
blossom as the rose.

Prolific Andrew Lang.
Andrew Lang held1 at one time
what must have been very nearly
a world’s record in literary output.
His regular weekly work was six
leaders for a morning newspaper,
two humorous sketches for an even-
ing journal, two long articles, two
book reviews and a contribution to
a weekly illustrated paper. In ad-
dition to this, he devoted four hours
every day to what may be called
pure’literature. He turned out books
at the rate of three a year, or even
more. In 1890, for instance, there
appeared from his pen the “Red
Fairy Tale Book," “Life, Letters
and Diaries of Sir Stafford North-
cote,” “How to Fail in Literature"
and “Old Friends/’ For weeks to-
gether his work would average 25,-
000 words a week.
Senator
age ot i.v years,
was brought up in Minnesota, where
a mixed population of Norwegians.
Swedish, Danish and Germans
gave him a splendid opportunity to
acquire their languages, and, being
at all times studious, he lost no
chance to add to his knowledge.
Nothing pleases Senator Nelson
better than occasionally to fall in
with a Norwegian with whom he
can speak the first language he ever
heard, but his intense Americanism
is shown by the “fact that the lan-
guage of his home is English. That
has always been the language of
the Nelson home. The senator has
always been foremost in doing ev-
erything possible in ortler that the
children of Minnesota shall regard
English as their mother tongue; He
encourages the study of languages,
but English never suffers any neg-
lect on that account wherever his
influence extends.
Hooker Disliked “Fighting Joe."
Like most other true and' great
soldiers, General Joseph Hooker
had no liking for the character of a
fighter who fights just for the sake
of fighting. The words “'Fighting
Joe” are not used anywhere in the
inscription on the Hooker monu-
ment, it being the general testimony
of his comrades that he particularly
objected to the appellation. He is
said to have himself stated’the rea-
sons, as follows: “Fighting Joe
Hooker” always sounds to me as if
it meant “Fighting Fook” Tt has
really done much injury "in making
the public believe I am a furious,
headstrong fool, bent on making fu-
rious dashes at the enemy. T never
fought without good purpose and
with fair chance of success. When
I have decided to fight, I have done
so with all the vigor and strength
I could command.
Irving and Disraeli.
Fifteen years ago a rather grew-
some sensation went round the
Duke of Wellington’s drawing room
at Strathfieldsaye on the appear-
ance of a distinguished and expected
guest, Henry Irving. As the tall,
thin, impressive figure with the ca-
daverous countenance, seemed to
totter‘father thari walk across the
floor to his host and hostess, the-
murmur passed along, “It is Dizzy
risen from the dead.” The likeness
had. in fact, beeil noticed long be-
fore by Lord Beaconsfield himself.
Watching from’ Nlr. Alfred' Roths-
child’s box the play oro the- Lyceum
stage, the statesman, to the ques-
tion what he thought of it, replied,
“It reminds *ie of niy owrr career,
and in person I ^Should think Mr.

Railway Aoroaa the Andes.
The railway across the Andes, be-
tween Chile and the Argentine Re-
public, which was projected twen-
Paris, and yeaf* ago, is at last to be com-
pleted, the Chilean congress hav-
ing recently passed a bill for the
purpose. The loftiest part of the
pass, which lies not far south of
the great Andean giant, Aconcagua,
and which has an elevation of 13,-
000 feet, is to be penetrated by a
tunnel, which will serve both to
avoid snowdrifts and to decrease
the maximum elevation 6f the road.

A Plea for Good Manners.
In delivering the Founders’ day
address at the commencement exer-
cises in a school at Lawrenceville»
N. J., Bishop Potter, of New York,
had this to say among other things;
“We are getting to be in such a
hurry in America that the ordinary
civilities are disappearing out of our
education and our life. When you
have dismissed good manners out
of society you have dismissed that
beneficent and kindly instinct to-
ward your fellow man of which
good manners ought always to be
the expression.”
