"We were cittiug in tho Emoking car
of the sleeper and the conversation un-'
plasantly enough, drifted into the ques
tion of railroad wrecks. It was strange.
too, that this should be, for we were all
old hands at traveling. That sort of
people seldom talk about wrecks, but we
were soon in the thick of it, tvery man
of U3 telling his experiences.'" So spoke
James A. Hart, to whose mind this story
was brought by tho occurrence of sev
eral bad WTecks in the east. . "We were
traveling fromono town to another 1

the Alegaeam, because 1 don't want to

But the experience is worth telling, fr
I'll never forget it if I live to bo a thou
sand years and a day old. There was
one big fellow in the smoker a drum
mer who evidently was a kicker. At all
events he did not like the Alegazam
road. 'Why, said he, it wouldn't sur
prise me a bit if we were to go 6mash
before the night 4a over. I never ride
on this road without buying ten dollars'
worth of accident policy. Oh, thi3 Ale
gazam is a beauty. If there was a
horse car line alongside of it 1 would
take that.' The big drummer was get
ting to be a nuisance in the conversa
tion.
"At the end of every horrible tale he
would brighten up and say : 'That isn't
a marker to what will happen some dax
on the Alesrazara. Hark my words.
Thi3 road is a hoodoo if there ever was
one.' Our cirars were smoked out as
cigars will be smoked out, and we re
tired for tho night. The drummer s
berth was only a few numbers from
mine, and as he got into bed he poked
his head out between the curtains and
said in a hoanxs whisper, 'Let your body

The manufacture of wire as now. cor
lied out may be briefly and concisel)
stated, and consists in attenuating or re
duction in section thin rods of the metal
under manipulation by drawing them 1
cold through holes in a draw plate, usu
ally made of hard steel. The wire draw
er's bench is furnished with a horizontal
cylinder, uriven by steam or other power,
on which the wire is wound after leav
ing the draw plate. The holes in the
draw plate are arranged in decreasing
diameters, and a fine wire may require
some twenty or thirty drawings ere it is
reduced to the size desired.
Much friction is generated in the pro
cess, notwithstanding the use of lubri
cants, and "annealing" is necessary to
counteract the brittlenees produced in
the wire. Where ereat accuracy is re
quisite the wire is drawn through rubies
or other hard stones in the draw plate.
The speed of the lira wing cyliadctc is in
creased ni tli diametev of the wire di
minishes.
Much confusion has existed in regard
to the gauges of wires, -no fewer than
fifty-five different gauges being men
tioned by a recent writer, of which forty
five were for measuring and determining
the size of wife as made and sold within
the United Kingdom. The Whitworth
gauge, introduced in 1857 by Sir Joseph
Whitworth, and the Birmingham wiro
gauge (B. W. O.) have been extensively
employed. In 1884 an imperial standard
wire gauge became a law, and consti
tutes the legal gauge of this country. It
ranges from half an inch to one-thousandth
of an inch in diameter. Cham

And this c&e ii a good exemplar. I
sleep soundly but lightly when I travel,
and I am a ready wuVer when there is
any unusnal noise that is, noise not
caused by the travel of the train over
the rails. This night 1 turned in
with a anile at my drummer's fears aud
w fast asleep in ton minutes. The
rub-a-autviuD or the wneeu sung me
into a sound slumber, and Tm Bure 1

wkk awakened by a combination of three
things, and rretty thoroughly awakenod
at that. First, the train had stopped
and there wii3 no rattle. Then 1 heard

'For. (-rod's sake stop that euginef
"Aud then following that up almost
instaiitieously there was a great crash
ing coend cf urftuxing glass. Thst was
all. Followuic: th there was a filtnee
o trofonnd that I could hear my watch
ticking under my pillow. What dia it
mem? A thousand -questions rushed
into my head in the second of time that
followed the breaking of the glass. But
before 1 he-d time to get out of the berth
a voice rang through the car in a tone
the like, of which 1 never heard before
and hope never to hear again.
" 'Jump for your lives V
"I have heard and seen some queer
things in my day, but before I heard
that voice 1 never knew what horror
meant. The feeling of a man's whole
life was concentrated into that voice,
and it 6truck into ray nerves as might a
Btreak of lightning that had no power to
kill.
"As I jumped to the ground and
rushed up the track I saw approaching
onr train onjthe same track, coming to
meet our engine, the headlight of an
other locomotive. That headlight and
the dark outlines cf the engine- behind
it looked to live like some horrible mon
ster from another world. It was more
than a simnle niece' of machinery. The
thing was alive, and seemed to be about
Tten times as large as it really was. The
impression I had of it then waa the most
singular f otling I ever knew, and I can't
describe it. Everything had been done
so quickly, and 1 was so terribly excited
that it ws not for some seconds tliat 1
noticed I was the first man in the train
that had got out The strange engine
slid along the rails tmtil it waa wilhin a
few feet of ours and stopped. Then the
people began coming out.
Why, in the interval that elapsed be
tween the cry cf 4 Jump for your lives!
and the time the passengers were alarmed
and had begun to come out, a thou
sand trains might have been wrecked.
Nearly all the passengers were now out
side inquiring into the cause of the
trouble. In my inquiries I discovered
the cause of the crashing glass. The
man in the berth next mine had heard
the brakes put on, had heard the first
outcry and, thinking that trouble was

Sow, carrying the glass with him. Ho

The nature cf the whole land in
Alaska can bo roughly divided into three
conditions: Snow and icefields bury the
coast rango and choke up every hollow;
to the immediate north the valleys
are rocky and barren, but the vast in
terior beyond is richly clothed in luxuri
ant vegetation. Scientific authorities
theoretically mapped out giant ice fields
as spreading over the entire land from
the Fairweather and Mount St. Elias
ranges north almost to the valley of the
Yukon.
Uolossal lieignts mantled in never
melting snows tower thousauds of feet
in the air, but within the shadow of
these mighty uplands, in the sheltered
hollows beneath, lie immense valleys
carpeted in richest grasses and gracefully
tinted with wild tlowers. Ilere in the
Bummer a genial clime is found, where
strawberries and other wild fruits ripen
in luxuriance, where there are 4J
months of summer and 7J- of winter.

When Gilmore was in Minneapolis
during the exposition in 1833 the music
of hu band was transferred to a phono
grarh, and he afterward heard it.
"That is wonderful, grandf' exclaimed
Gilmore. "It's all there but my little
stick and tho tap tcp of the alto horn's
heel."
The "little stick" was his baton. It
was made of white wood, and he always
carried it when at the head of his band.
"1 have a dozen or more batons," said
the popular leader one day, "but nor.e
of them compares with this little etick.
I can tap on the edge of my music stand
with this, and it will not spoil it. My
other batons would lje ruined, so I ketp
them locked up."
During his continental tour he wai
presented with magnificiently decorate
batons in every country. Some of them
were diamond tipped, and all were gold
trimmed. New York Advertiser.

Wonder f UoatM.
- Reference to the natural wonder of
Montana, particularly the chicken broth
and bichloride springs, brings to light
others of equal magnitude. Colonel
John Doyle's wonderful vinegar mine
in Beaverhead county ruuea the domain
of doubt into the sunlight of truth. It
Is backed by crisp affidavit, and affi
davits cost one dollar each in Montana.
The colonel and his partners did not
confine themselves to vinegar. They
discovered a mountain of pore alum lo
the Beaverhead rangs.
The discovery was considered a ten
strike and better 'than a gold mine.
They kept the find a secret for several
weeks, during which a shaft was sunk
to the depth of 200 feet. The cut was
made all the way through a solid vein
of alum, and it was estimated that the
whole mountain was compos! of it. A
large pile of stuff was heaped near the
mine ready for shipment, and the miners
had a scheme xo flood the market with
their product aud rake in f 1.000.000 at
one fell swoop. Monday the colonel's
partner went to town to Uy in a sopi'ly
of grub and the former remained behind
to guard the treasure.
During the morning a heavy rain be
gan to fall and continued all day, and in
the afternoon the colonel bad occasion
to go down into the mine, making the
descent by sliding down the rojie, and
when onco down at the bottom was so
taken up with a contemplation of hi
novel and wonderful mine thst he did
not heed the fleeting hours until he hap
pened to cast his eyes upward and saw
that daylight had faded from the mouth
of tho shaft. lie started to dims up
ward, but badnot proceeded more thai'
half way when, to his horror, he dUcov
ered thst the heavy fall of rain had so
thoroughly saturated the alum sides of
the shaft that, as a natural result, the
had drawn together until the hole
scarcely large enough for a man to craw)
through.
The imprisoned man recognized hi
awful position, and without losing rone
time struggled toward the top of the
shaft. Every foct he advanced th.
shaft bocsmo smaller, and for the las.
ten feet he was compelled to dig hi
way with a pockstkclfc, and wbr-n hp
finally reached the surface he was com
pletely exhausted, his clothes were tn
and his body badly bruised. Therein,
which was still fslling, soon revived th
colonel, and ho started toward the can.;
to meet his partner, to whom he related
his marvelous experience.
Together they started to their mine,
ur at least tried to, for although they
searched for two dsys they were unable
to find any eight of their late pa
sions. The rn had undoubtedly thor
oughly and tightly rioted up the dis
covery shsft and melted sway every
sign of ths alnm piled on the outide, so
that to this time it has been impossible
to find any trace of the mine. Omah.t

An amusing instance of elephantine
pride is told by Baker. The elephant
which usually led the state procession of
a rajah being sick, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had up
to this time occupied only a subordinato
place. The animal, delighted with its
finery, showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that gen
eral attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state proces
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer of tho geld cloths, being re
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de
graded beast, imagining perhaps that
he was . being defrauded of his promo
tion, was with great difficulty restrained
from attacking the leader of the parade,

As narrated by Edward Walford in
his "Greater London, Frederick, prince
of Wales sometimes visited Alaxander
Pope at his villa. On one occasion when
the prince was on a visit. Pope, after ex
pressing the most dutiful professions of
attachment, gave his roynl highnem an
opportunity of observing very shrewdly
that his (the poet's) love for princes was
inconsistent with his dislike for kings,
since princes may in time become kings.
Said his royal highneec:
"Mr. Pope, I hear you don't like
princes.
"Sir, I beg your pardon.
"Well, then, yon don't like kings."
"Sir, I must own that 1 like the lion

restful and comfortable to the sick frame
than the relief from the bed fatigue
which this invention affords. They are
