'* There are some monstrous stones in the temple of Baalbec, Syria; and the Peruvians had a method of transporting immense stones, which nowadays would, if known, mean a fortune to engineers. . ; Among the feats performed by the Egyptians was that of erecting obelisks weighing 400 tons.or over.

There is now a canal connection between Milan and Pavia, about twenty-five miles long, through an -ancient channel, which has been in use for more than 600 years. Thousands of canal boats from the Po go to Milan every year, pass through tiw* city's canal system, which is founded on the old defensive moats of the Middle Ages, and proceed northward to the Italian lakes, or n vice versa. '< ' />f Every year from 800 to 1200 couples go to England from the Conti\ nent, mostly from Germany, to be married. To comply with the conditions of the English law the bride usnally' goes over first, stays one night in a hotel, and gives notice of the marriage on the following day. Then the man arrives and the ceremony takes place. It is generally by license, as otherwise both would have to stay in England for four weeks. ?! ; V THE PATH OP AX INTERVIEWER. ', Cosmopolitan Virtues and Gifts of Versatility Along Its Course. The newspapers of Boston are not the same as those of New York; there is a greater difference between those of Chicago and New Orleans; and what is a ^'first-page story" in Philadelphia would be moved farther back in, San Francisco to make room for aopther sort of sensation suited to the peculiar taste of its readers. But &. the subtle distinctions do not perplex the resourceful newspaper reporter. He comes from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast and in a week his '''stuff" is true in tone to the paper ? that has engaged him. He goes to the East from -what is called the /'unconventional" West, and in a month his work is in no wise to be distinguished from that of men who j have begun and continued in the if, service of'New York dailies. For proof, any important newspaper may be considered. In five years it probably has had scores of reporters, may hav? had two or three different city editors, and perhaps as many managing editors, yet the tone of the paper from first page to last is unchanged. . In fact, that distinct, in> dividual flavor often persists in spite of efforts to change it. It woul<J be easy to name a score of papers in the country that are identical in dominating characteristics and tone with their issues of earlier years, in spite j of the fact that their owners and the j 1 entire staff upon them have changed | ;/r. more than once. The true cosmopolitan is the newspaper reporter. It is easy enough to appear content In, any quarter of the globe, and in Rome to live as the 1 Romans do, but the reporter does 1 morf He is Norwegian and Italian, ' proletarian and palace-wise, Repub- 1 lican and Democrat, several times each day, and the narrow provincialism of the metropolis is as much his as the freedom and the long perspective of the mining camp. It is versatility, more, erf temperament J than of talent, that distinguishes him. 1 The citizen of the world, with a nose < for news, a supernatural ingenuity in obtaining it, a pretty knack ; of description, and the ability to be 1 always in the mood for work, might i make an average reporter..

Without it < a man is absolutely useless. And just as a cowboy likes to show off or compete in a kind of horsemanship which can have no practical application to his trade, so does the riverman do his tricks. A man in Marinette, whose name I have forgotten, could turn a somersault on a log; innumerable others like to lie down at length while floating with the current; Jack Boyd could * up-end" a railroad tie without falling into the water; and it is very, cold water indeed that can scare off an occasional birling match.?From "Jack Boyd: Master Riverman," by Stewart Ed- j ward White, in the Outing Magazine. ' Brought His Knife Alopg. Whenever the penurious manager of the large store wanted to sharpen lis pencil he would enter the shipping department and borrow a knife from 3ne of the boys. Sometimes the boys lid not have their knives with them, but there was one lad, Tommy Breen, who always could be depended upon. "How is it, Tommy?" asked the manager one day as he whittled his pencil, "that you always have your knife with you, and the other boys baven'-t?" Tommy hesitated for a moment, then gathering courage, said: "The wages I get aren't enough for me to afford more than one pair of pants."?Harper's Weekly. FITS,St.Vituf'Danca:N?rr on?

The hammer, besides being a tool of universal use, is probably the oldest representative of a mechanic's tool kit. The hammer was originally a stone (fastened to a handle with thongs, and, it was as useful as a weapon as a tool. Hammers are represented on the monuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era. They greatly resemble the hammer now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the extraction of nails. Claw hammers were invented some time during the Middle Ages. Illuminated manuscripts of the eleventh century represent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dainty instruments used by the jeweller, which weigh less than half an ounce, -to the gigantic fifty ton hammer of shipbuilding establishments, some of which have a falling force of from ninety to 100 tons. Every trade has its own hammer and its own way Df using it.?Baltimore Sun. GOT THE CROWD. "Rev. Sixthly is always thinking up some way to fill the church with women," says the friend.

Soon after he arrived a blood-curdling ory of "Help! Help!" was heard through the ward. It seemed to come from nowhere in particular. Dr. Drury, the physician in charge, and the nurses made an fAunrl nnthine anxious wareu, UU'l ivuuu "It was certainly a cry of distress," said the doctor. The nurses thought so, too. Newman apparently was asleep. Presently chronic patients straightened up and looked with hopeful eyes as a hoarse whisper sounded through the ward: "Say-, fellows, have a drink on me.'' Two of <the male nurses jumped to their feet ready to pounce on the man who would make such an offer in the ward. They walked through the line of cots, but could not trace the source of the Invitation. The ward settled down to quiet again. Presently a low .trembling roar not unlike that of a cub lion was heard. "I've got 'em," moaned one patient, covering his head with the sheet. Again a search was made to learn the cause of the noise, hut without result Soon the faint yet certain crow of a rooster was heard, followed by the wai] of a cat. Nurses and orderlies searched under the cots and in the closets, but found 'neither cat nor * rooster. "I'm bleeding to death," screamed a shrill voice after a while. It brought the nurses and orderlies to their feet to a nurry, uuiuuguy cmgry this time. "While they were searching one of the nurses looked into Newman's face and saw that he was quivering with suppressed laughter. Under examination Newman confessed that he was a ventriloquist and the author of the noises his offense was overlooked.?New York Times. GAS. Its Lighting Property was Discovered by a Scotchman. Soon after Argand invented his lamp, William Murdock, a Scottish inventor, 6howed the world a new way otf lighting a house. It had long been known that fat or coal, when heated, gives off a vapor or gas which burns with a bright light. Indeed, it is always a gas that burns and not a hard substance. In the candle or in the lamp the flame Jieats the oil which comes up to it through the wick and thus causes the oil to give off a gas. it IB lints gas mat uums auu U1? light Now, Murdock, in 1798, put this principle to a good use. He heated coal in a large vessel, and allowed the gas which was driven off to pass through mains and tubes to different parts of his house. Whenever he wanted a light he let the gas escape at the end of the tube In a small jet and lighted it Here was a lamp without a wick. Murdock soon extended his gas pipes to his factories and lighted them with gas. As soon as it was learned how to make gas cheaply, and conduct it safely from house to house, while cities were rescued from darkness by the new illuminant?St. Nicholas. ZERO.
