Country Promises to Become a Havon For Rogues. The "waiting game" still is a popu lar policy with the French police, says the New York Press. Some months jgu Paris detectives chased a young French eiibezzler into Greece aad found him protected from extradition by the authorities, whom he paid well; so they quietly sat down and waited for the criminal to spend all his stolen money. Then, when he had to move akay and crossed into Italy, the detectives arrested him and (brought him back to Paris. Ferdinand Bolle, 24 years old, was a clerk in the Societe Generale Bank. He was married and had a separate eatablishmont over which a young friend presided. He received notices of discharge just at the time when every one was talking of Jean Gall ay, the bank clerk "baron," and Mile. Merelll. Bolle said to himself, "Why should I not imitate this GaiiayT' So he began to fill in checks and forge signatures. In a few days he cashed in $25.000. Then he left PariB with his pretty friend. The pair fled to Corfu and took a charming and lux urious villa. They began to have a Cay time. Bolle foolishly wrote to friends In Paris detailing the lively life he was leading. The police were waiting for Just such letters, and two detectives armed with the necessary papers im mediately went to Corfu. When they called on Bolie he introduced-them-to his fair companion and feted them. But he refused to return to Franca. The detectives, when thay tried to ex tradite him, found that the authori ties were protecting Bolle. They ap pealed to the Greek minister of the Interior and to the chief of police of Corfu, but rceived only promises. Then the French ambassador took a hand. That resulted In Bolle and his companion being expelled from that particular village, the authorities of which werp dismissed. But the fugi tives merely moved on to the naxt village and took another villa. The French detectives thereupon tele graphed that until P.nlle had spent all his money an arr<- ?; was impossible. They were ordered to wait like Pay tience on a monun-v it until the bank clerk had run thrcu; n his last dollar.. Bolle was spending money like a bil lionaire, and for live weeks the two detectives went fishing, smoked and slept and enjoyed them selves. When Eolle finallyvgot to the end of his stolen sj)oils lie and his com panion took a littlp coast steamer to Brindisi. The detectives awaited them on arrival, arrested Bulla and quickly got extradition. .On arrival in Paris Bolle and rh? detectives told tt.eir stories to the ex amining magistrate, who also quos tioued Bolle's friend. She denied knowing where the man's money came from and wes discharged. Boile made a full confession. He declared that the Greek authorities knew he was a thief and made him pay a heavy sum each day lor protection from arrest. Sandwich Men. Advertising is pre-eminently a mod ern business, yet one phase of it, like much of our commercial system, fovmd its origin in Italy of the Middle Ages. The sandwich man made his first appearance in 1346 on the streets of Florence. The wine merchants there were in the habit of hiring indi gent individuals to parade the streets dressed to represent straw-covered wine-bottles. Now, the custom has spread to all the great cities of the globe. 1 Eut nowhere, perhaps, is the sand wich man subject to more stringent, regulation than in London. He must' walk near the curbstone, but not on the pavement, and not within thirty yards of his nearest placarded com rade. In ease the sandwich man does wot fulfil these rules he may be ar rested and fined. Riding a Camel. Dr. Nachrigal, the celebrated Afri can explorer, once said to a youth who expressed a desire to cross the Sahara on camol back: "Young man, I'll tell you how you can get a partial idea of what riding a camel in an African desert is like. Take an of^ce stool, screw it up as high as possible, and put it, along with a savage dog. Into a wagon without any springs. Then seat yourself on the stool and have It driven over uneven and rocky ground during the hottest parts of July and August, being careful not to oat or drink more than once every two days and letting the dog bite you avcry four hours. This will give you a faint Idea of the exquisite poetry of camel ridiu.e in the Sahara."?Cincin nati Enquirer. Concerning Railways.

That disused railway tunnels need not be a drug in the market is evi denced by the extensive and highly successful culture of mushrooms car ried on In one of those sombre pas sages in the vicinity of Edinburgh.

Few people are aware of the meth ods employed to sight the larg csvelve-poundere on modern battle ships, says the Philadelphia Record !t Is generali* supposed that th<n gunner sights these lmmerj.se cannon as* he would an ordlnarary rifle Such is not the case, however. An Illustration of the method employed Is shown here, the apparatus being the invention of a gunner in the United States Navy. The apparatus is exceedingly complicated and is practically useless in the hands of a novice. In one hand the gunner grasps an ordinary pistol. This pis tol is connected to the firing appara tus of the gun. Above the pistol Is a sighting tube and a number of re flecting glasses. By means of re Sight the Gun. fleeting glasses the surroundings are brought Into the range of the pi.;itol. The gunner need only sight 'he pis tol to hit a certain object on the re flecting glasses. As he brings the pistol Into tho correct range, the large gun which It contro.s is also brought Into range. Pulling the trig ger of the pistol discharges the gun. Tbr Skipper Ashore.

I Metallizing Wood in Fiance. An Interesting method of applying a preservative to railway slccpo:-. and Umber is described in L'Tjiduf trie Eleetrlque of Paris. Thp prorp^r consists of the artificial metalliza tlon of the pores of the wood, th, metal being deposited electrically In brief, the method requires, first the application of a solution of.som; salt?sulphate of copper, for exam ple?by placing the wood Immerse J In the solution In a clospd chambei and subjecting It to pressure. Th'< wood Is thus thoroughly linpregnatp-.j with the solution. It la thpn taken out, and piled up In luyera in a con Crete reservoir. The first layer or timber is immersed in the same cop per sulphate solution, and also rests on a layer of jute or other iibrous material, which is supported by an electrode made of woven strands ci copper. Similar electrodes are placed between each layer of timber ua they are piled up to the desired height. Altemato electrodes ;ire then mr. nected to the opposite poles of an alternating current supply, and the current Is allowed to pass. The ac tion Is said to decompose tho solu tion and set free metallic copper In J the pores of the wood. Besides tho preservative action In thus closing tho pores, it Is said that a certain amount of copper sulphate Is perma nenelly retained In the pores, givln;; an additional and j decided pre aorvativ? ?ffect.

Easily Managed When Massed To- I gcther?Some Have the Evil Eye. In Spain accident? to bull fighters arc of frequent occurence, and it is in teresting to see the bero of many fig: 's swing Into tl:i chapel attached to ihe bull rir. .. and km ... bcfoie tl. J eCl^y of th-j Virgin Mary before en tering the arena, Bull fighting is the national pa3 timo. Boys play at it in the gutters, anri there are bull fights for amateurs all over the country, at which only two-year-old bulls are used, ax.d young and old descend into the arena. Astounding is the enthusiasm, sa/a the Nineteenth Century. Interesting, too. is the psychology of bulls. When herded together tLey are docile enough, and it is a pictur esque Bight to see the bulls brought Into the paddock, prior to the figin, through the streets of the city whon all are sleeping. A cow trained to the business, with a bell around her neck, is all that is necessary, and the bulls follow quietly behind her. In the plains where the bulls a -o reared men on horses manage tbem quite easily so long as they are massed together. Three bulls in the j ring together would be useless for a fight, but each bull separately willl fight to the death. Bulls literally see red. Were It not that a bull will always dash at any thing red the men In the ring we'd have no chance whatever. Occasion ally bulls have what is called the evil syo, and remain indifferent to the red capa extended to them, and then the list of casualties is generally high. Sometimes a bull whicn has shown prodigious power and fight is par doned by the populace. A cow, kept for the purpose, is then sent into the arena, and at right of her the bull forgets men and the fury of the battle aud gently trots behind to the pad dov-k, as meek as any heifer. Many are the curiosities about bulls, which sometimes refuse to attack a particular horse, and when a man la d'.?wn, motionless, disdain, even to paw him. Some bulls make instinc tively for one man, and will chase hin" all around ?ie ring, leaping the barrier if he vaults over it, and if he fails will kneel upon his body and gore him to shreds. There is no mer cy in bulls, and none is shown to them. 50,000 Persons In Skyscraper. Wherever the fame of the New York skyscraper has spread some vague Idea of the enormous capacity of these colossal structures must hp.ve been formed, but it is no', improbable that few persons living right in the metropolis have ever made a ca. sful stu1y of the activities of '.hese com mercial centers. Perhaps there are those who would laugh to scorn the statement that a siopla building in 2\'ew York is en tered daily by 50.000 persoi)3, or aa tna;;y as the entire population of Har risburg. Pa., or other similar cities of the United Stales, like Houston, Texas; Akron, Ohio; Lincoln, Nan., and more than there are persons in cities of the size of Montgomery, Ala. Wherever such a statement may be discredited it Is necessary only to point out the fact that an accurate count was made one day by F. T. H. Bacon, superintendent of the Park Row Syndicate building, one of :he most conspicuous of the New York skyscrapers, of every person who en tered the elevators in that edifice. It was a simple matter to station guards pi every entrance to the huildlng and give each person entering a ticket., wl icb ticket was taken up by the cla ve'or drivers. At the close of the day these ti>ke:.s wp e counted and it was found that something more than 50,000 persons had ridden on the elevators that day This is said to exceed the number of faies collected by the entire street rar system of Nashville, Tenn., In a single flay, this Information coming from a former superintendent of the trolle) service of that city who was s.ibso queatly employed as one of the agents of ihe Park Ruw skyscraper.?Success M; gazir.e.
