Mr. Huwkius at once asked that it bo forwarded, and yesterday it arrived and was placed in the museum. the rnllmnd company bringing it In from North Yninhill for nothing. It took eight men to get it out of the woods to the road, and Mr. Hawkins had to procure several men to assist him in getting it Into the museum.

SODA WATER FOUNTAIN IN ENDLAND. e It would 1)0 difficult to find n more I t peculiar American Institution than the soda water fountain, or one which I would act as n more immediate and u powerful reminder of the scenes with J* which he is familiar in his native land t than the marble faced, many faucet- | ed and nickel resplendent structure ! wind: is one of the numerous devices ! ,s by which the American citizen tem , 1 pern the lli'icencss of the periodical ! "hot wave." lfenee the introduction of , the soda water fountain into tircuL j Britain, as referred to in a recent re ?, port by the American consul at Kir-, minghnm. tuey he regarded as a not able Instance of the interchange of ? Ideas and customs between this conn ' try and Ureal Britain which is growing more marked every year, it seems that in a window of a "chemist j, shop" in Birmingham there was e\ j hihiloil aliirltitr 1I1.i uiMim.f.K - ? nullum i uMiiinn a a sign advertising various sodas ami t phosphates. Tin' proprietor. who is quoted as "an enterprising man who 1 c Is ready to try new things." has prov 01! his rountitiu to l?e a striking sue ^ cess. It sreins that an Amcrleau soda j fountain syndicate has taken up the matter of these hot weather necessities ' In Knglaud, and a number of cities 1 ' now have fountains in successful op < oration. 1 ? A Valuable Invention. According to the Electrical World W. ' S. Jturngtt and W. II. (loodlial. of Milwaukee. wis., are. the inventors of a device which permits the calling of ' any subscriber on a purty telephone line without disturbing the other sub- > scribers on the same line. Tho apparatus is called the multiplex tele. ig. It is sahi to be possible l?y the use of ' the new device to maintain on one circuit telephone service, station signall- r ing on railroads, police and fire slgna'.l- J lug, moscnger service. etc. A number of submarine mines may ho placed in I circuit and any of them exploded with- ' out affecting the others. i.

When Murium Dahlgreen, the artist, 'eft for Nome some time ago to seek lis fortune In the gold fields he deeded to take n vsrS?d supply of paints ind canvas with hlni. so that, should lie nuggets full to materialize, he might put in his time profitably immortalizing tlie picturesque scenery of the new milling camp with his brush. These dreams were shattered, liowev r. when Dulilgreeu's party landed at j fort Clarence, for on attempting to put j together a small boat with which they j tiad provided themselves, it was j round that t tic- dishonest or only care- | less?shipbuilder had forgotten to in- | Mude the white lend*in the boat's fix- j ngs. How to caulk tlie seams with j >ut It at SO iiillds' distance from ' S'ome civilization was the question. At 1 ast tlie Cotli of the party suggested j the artist's paintbox, and with tears j ho sacrifice was made, tlie "land-| icape of the future" decorating tlie nsensate seams of tlie little craft, it j was perhaps owing to this treatment. | tiowever. that the tinv boat eseanod i wrecking (luring a L'S days' Journey j through the recent terrible storms j From Port Clarence to Nome.
