How IIin Koystl Ilighncfirt A.tends JJ- . Engli.ih TJieutors. The royal box ia booked in thu ui i way of business and charged to JIarlborougli house account. The i . is not increased from the ordinary li . tariff , and the stories told about a i : . . - nal price or a larger one being p u-i 1/ . royalty only exist , in the imagination ol the papers who in vent such tarraduHlrK Sometimes it happens that a bo : : . . . not be got at the particular theater Av oided upon. When this is the case it i - put nicely to the party who has book ! the royal box if they could see their way to obliging his royal highness , and the result is of course invariably in the af firmative. The prince , however , is very reluctant to have this done , and always wishes that the party obliging shall br. as little inconvenieced as possible so much so that when told that the box has been conceded he generally remarks : "Why did you disturb anybody on my account ? I could have come hero an other evening. Please see they are thanked in my name. " In the rare case of a refusal representation is made to his royal highness , and they try for a box at another theater. When he goes to a theater it is his ex pressed desire to be treated exactly the same as one of the ordinary audience. Little displays of flowers , bouquets , satin programmes , etc. , are all very nice , but the prince does not care for them , and would much rather do with out them. Another thing which annoys him is that he should be drawn atten tion to by the performance on his arrival of the national anthem or "God Bless the Prince of Wales. " As he said on one occasion , "Why should the amusement of every member of this audience be disturbed for my sake ? " This was at the Olympia theater during the run of "Fun on the Bristol. " As soon as the royal box became occu pied everybody was astonished to see the orchestra suddenly stand up in the mid dle of the performance and begin play ing "God Bless the Prince of "Wales. " Of course the whole house rose en masse , every eye was directed to the royal box and the applause was deafen ing. The prince immediately left the box and demanded an explanation. Mr. Jarritt arrived and explained that it was only the overzealousness of a too patriotic band conductor. This con cluded the incident , but it was accepted as a precedent , and the same intimated to the managers generally. This is why you often hear people say in a theater toward the close of the performance : "Why , there is the Prince of "Wales over' there in a box , and they never played 'God Save the Queen. ' What a shame ! " The prince always waits until the final curtain has descended before rising to leave. This is his invariable rule. So much so that he has sat out the entire harlequinade of a Drury lane panto mime. There are three or four theaters only where he ever breaks this rule. Thejr are those houses which have no royal entrance , and here the prince an ticipates the final curtain by two or three minutes , so that his departure will not disturb the carriage trafiBc of the re mainder of the audience. Immediately the prince is announced to have visited a theater the booking rises , barometerlike , to a good heat. This is in reference to the booking pub lic , but beyond this when his royal highness likes a play he invariably rec ommends it to all his friends. In many other ways the prince is always think ing-of the drama. When he sees a bene fit announced for some well known artist who has often ministered to his amusement , or some poor player who has fallen on bad times , he immediately puts his name down for stalls or boxes to a substantial amount. London Morn ing. The Fogy Not Without His Uses. Isn't it about time that some one at tempted a defense of the "old fogy ? " In these days there is no one more decried. He is popularly supposed to block the wheels of enterprise , to stand in the way of progress , and nearly every association has two or three of these people whom the members would gladly throw over board if they could. The odd thing about all this is the fact that the "old fogy1' has usually been one of the creators of the very body which seeks to be rid of him. In the beginning he was indefati gable ; he labored long and earnestly to procure funds , and was oat considerable personal sacrifice to put this or'that in stitution on its" feet. Now that things are finally settled and paid for and everything is in good running order he is disposed to let well enough alone for a little time. But this will not do at 'all for the young blood which is constantly pouring in. The new element is full of progressive ideas and suggestions of innovations , and when it meets resistance on the part of the "old fogy" there is a clashing of opinions. Buffalo Courier. How to Light a Solid Body. Cadogan Morgan was the first elec trician to experiment with electric light in 'solid bodies. This was in 1780. He first inserted two wires into a stick of wood and caused the spark to pass be tween them. This had the effect of il luminating the stick a beautiful blood red. An ivory ball , an orange or an apple may be lighted in the same man ner. Some experimenters prefer the lemon for this purpose , it being very sus ceptible to the electric discharge , flash ing forth at every spark as a spheroid of brilliant golden light. The wires used for this purpose should be brought with in about half an inch of each other in side the lemon. St. Louis Republic. Tbomus Hardy's Methods. Thomas Hardy , the novelist , has been telling something about his home and method of work. If he turns out 3,000 words in a day he thinks he has done well. He usually begins work between 10 and 11 , and writes tmtil luncheon. Ho has never tried the typewriter , but he writes with copying ink , duplicating his MS. by the copying press , so as al ways to have a second copy of his work. Found n Pc-trlilcd Standing Forest. P. B. Schemorhorn , geologist , who re cently discovered the great glaciers in Idaho county , has found a fossil forest in the center of Ouster county. In the same locality he has discovered the pet rified bones of a now extinct race of men and animals , which will bo sent to Chi cago. The forest covers an area of four square miles , and the condition of the ground shows that at one time an enor mous flow of clay , which worked in from the northwest , buried the tree trunks tea a great depth. This clay has turned to stone , and no one can ascertain its true depth without going to great expense. All the trees in this forest have their tops broken off and. stand from ten to forty feet above the ground , averaging about twenty-eight to the acre. Seheni- erhorn took the exact measurement of some of the trees , and found fhem to average twelve feet in diameter on top and bixteen feet in diameter at the sur face of the ground. How far the trunk reached through the clay stone to the soil he had no means of ascertaining. A branch which had become detached from a tree and was lying about sixteen feet from , it was three feet in diameter. From the size of the trees and their branches Mr. tliirilrsfVinv nvn n. snpfif > s ( if redwood , such as is found in California , and attributes their fossilization to Hi" clay , which , bearing a large part c-f mineral , and presumably coming fn.i.i some volcano soon turned the liv. iy trees into monuments of stone. Idaho Cor. San Francisco Examiner. A Cow Inside of a I.og. Owen Glance } ' , of Summit , missed a very valuable cow last week and spent several days looking for her without finding any trace of her whereabouts , and had about concluded that she had been stolen when one of his children discovered the animal not over fifty yards from the house' She had wandered into a hollow'cedar log , presumably to get into the shade , and in pushing her way for fifty feet into the log she passed through a place where it had splintered in falling , with the splinters headed ia the direction she was going. Of course when she attempted to back out her exit was effectually blocked , the splinters having sprung back. And there she was , as securely confined as any pris oner in the penitentiary. When discov ered there she had been imprisoned for five days. Mr. Glancey had to cut the log in front of her before she could be taken out , nothing the worse for her experi ence except for her enforced fast. The cow weighs about 1,500 pounds , so the. size of the cedar timber in that "neck of the woods" can be imagined. Elmira ( N. Y. ) Chronicle. Extraordinary Accident to a Diver. A diver named Jones , residing in Car diff , was engaged yesterday in attempt ing to raise the steamship Accrington , which was beached at Penarth some time since after being jn collision. She had several holes in her side , which had been plugged while the vessel was pumped out. Jones accidentally pushed in one of these plugs with his right hand , and the suction of the water be came so great that his arm was drawn into the hole to the shoulder , and he oould not withdraw it. A message was telegraphed to Cardiff docks for another diver. Nearly two hours elapsed before he reached Penarth with his diving apparatus , and in this time Jones had become so exhausted that he was found hanging by the ves sel's side on his arm. When rescued , which took some time , he was so ex hausted that he had to be lifted on board the steamer. St. James Gazette. A New Overcoat for Fall Dress. A new overcoat for full dress is vouch safed by the swell Londoners. It is a most diplomatic innovation , and seems to belong to another regime of manners , when men of fashion met on Fleet street and courtesied elaborately and strode magnificently through the minuet. In these days of skirt dancing and serpen tine high kicking and ta-ra-ra boom such a vogue seems untimely. But it is really a most engaging typo to contemplate , consisting as it does of one single cape of black material. It hangs in military grandeur so far down as to cover the coat tails. The especial feature is a very high velvet standing collar that comes tight together in front , and is held in place by an oxidized silver clasp. Clothier and Furnisher. Petrified "Watermelons. A valuable specimen of petrified vege tation may be seen in this city. It con sists of pieces of rock which have the exact shape and appearance of water melons. There are two of the speci mens , the larger one being about sixteen inches long and eight inches in diameter. The small one is about nine inches long. The end of the larger specimen is broken off , which appears to plainly show the rind , the seeds and the red core. There are also specimens of what appear to be petrified pine cones. They were brought to Auburn by Jacob Eoll of Rocklin , and were found between Rocklin and Rose- ville. Placer ( Colo. ) Republican. The " \Vorld Has Progressed. One of the earliest telescopic discov eries by Galileo was that Jupiter is at tended by four moons ; one of the latest , by Professor Barnard , with the huge Lick telescope , is that our largest plan etary neighbor has a fifth satellite. The first discovery was received with deri sion by even the philosophers of the Sev enteenth century. Professor Barnard's announcement is enthusiastically hailed by the multitude as one of the greatest achievements of the age. The world has moved. Ohio State Journal. Beca ia a School House. When the school house of the Galla gher district , in Mason Valley , Nev. , was opened after the summer vacation it was found that bees were in posses sion of the desks , and it is claimed that about 300 pounds of honey were taken from them. ( Great Financiers Who Tear Paper. The propensity to tear paper into little bits is peculiar to Wall street brokers. Visitors in the Stock exchange fro- 'quently comment on the fact that the floor of the largo boardroom is thickly strewn with tiny pieces of paper. Each broker carries a small memorandum pad , and as he becomes excited ho tears off a page and proceeds to convert it into the largest number of infinitesimal pieces of which his fingers are capable. Some uncommonly nervous brokers will j destroy two or three pads a day in tnu i manner. Mr. Henry Clews is a tireless paper tearer. When he is talking bnsi- j ness in his office his hands are restlessly ' reducing paper to snowflakes , which ho throws into the air and watches with apparent interest as they scatter over the floor and the furniture. He prob ably tears up more paper and tears it liner than any other man in Wall street. Mr. Jay Gould is also somewhat ad dicted to the habit of paper tearing , al though , like his friend Russell Sage , ho folds it and twists it and plays with it for ; quite awhile before destroying it. John H. Inman tears up a great deal of paper while talking. General Samuel Thomas not only tears it up , but fre quently puts it in his mo.nth and chews it in an absentminded way. Mr. J. Pier- Tiont Moriran will carefullv make rib bens of a sheet of note paper while medi tating upon some financial problem. Mr. John D. Rockefeller , when inter ested in conversation , will make figures , letters and fantastic characters on his pad. When he fills a page with charac ters he will tear it off , crumple it up and throw it away , and then begin on an other page. New York Times. How a Chinaman Sills a Chicken. One might imagine that the China man who gorges himself with broiled rats and bird's nest soup would eat any kind of meat prepared in any manner , but such is not the case. John China man has his religious notions about such things as well as other people. Many of the almond eyed inhabitants of Chicago are not very good Buddhists. Since coming to the city they have be come apostate. But watch the orthodox Chinaman when he goes to the market for his Sundar chicken. He will not take a dead one because the probabili ties are that the fellow who killed it was not a believer in Gautama and may have chopped its head off with a hatchet. His chicken must have it head on and be very much alive. John will go to the coop and stir the feathered prisoners up with a stick. If lie finds one that cackles and flutters about in a lively manner he will buy it. He has no use for a dumpish , sickly ap pearing fowl. Having made a selection he takes the chicken home alive , gets out a dirty lit tle iinacre. kneels before it. makes some queer motions with his hands , mumbles a few words , takes from a shelf or drawer a knife with a double edged blade which is extremely sharp , and with much ceremony whacks off the head of the fowl. This done he returns to the image , and kneeling again apolo gizes for having committed such a wick ed deed and proceeds to prepare the chicken for dinner. Chicago Tribune. "Willing to Be of Service. Judge Hut-Jiinson was called upon to marry a young couple. Julius Wolpe , aged twenty-one , and Dora Alberti , a young miss of nineteen , appeared in the county clerk's office and procured a li cense. After securing the paper the the young man was embarrassed and did not know exactly what to do. The couple walked through the building arm in arm , and attracted the attention of a lawyer with , an eye open for business. "What can I do for you ? " he asked. "We want to get married , " returned the young man. The lawyer led the parties before Judge Hutchinson , and without hesita tion the judge started in to tie the knot. "Do you take this woman" "Yes sir , " broke in the young man. "Don't be in a hurry , " said the judge. "Just wait until I get through with the question. " Wolpe was then asked if he would take Dora for better or for worse and forever and forever , etc. , and he said he would. Dora made the same promises , and the ceremony was over with. "I hope you people will never want a divorce , " spoke up the lawyer as the parties were leaving , "but if yon do , why here is my card. " Chicago Times. Fuel on ILargo Ocean Steamers. Ocean steamers consume much more fuel than the average person is aware of. Take , for an instance , the vessels of the Orient line , which make regular trips between Australia and Great Britain. The fastest steamer of that line is the Austral , which makes the voyage from London to Sydney in thirty-five days. During the "trip out" she never uses less than 3,659 tons of coal , and on the return voyage often as much as 4,000 tons. She has three coaling stations , and bunkers that will hold 2,750 tons without overcrowding. English-Amer ican "liners" like the Oregon consume 330 tons of coal per day for every day between Liverpool and New York. The Sterling Castle went to China for a load of tea. She brought back a cargo of 2,200 tons of that staple Chinese com modity , but consumed 5,000 tons of coal in making the round trip from Liver pool. Immense stocks of coal are con stantly kept on hand at St. Vincent , Madeira , Port Said , Singapore and other oriental coaling stations , there often be ing as much as 200,000 tons in store at the last named place. London Letter. Finding for the lawyer. Sometimes the jury returns a verdict for the lawyer , of which the following. is a good instance : Mr. John Jones , a barrister of great influence and ability , ! was a leading counselor practicing in the Welsh circuit. Upon one occasion , after | a felicitous speech on behalf of his client 1 hi a criminal case , the jury , as soon as Ihe judge had summed up , without wait-1 tag for the officer to take their verdict , jailed out , "My lord , we are all for John Jones , with costs ! " London Tit- Bits. Telltale Pork Chop * . Quite a novelty in the annals of jus tice has been the conviction of a mur derer by the tacit hut effective testimony of the remains of a couple of pork chops which , gnawed to the hone , hud been left on the table in the dining room of the unfortunate lady whom he had just done to death. At the end of last year Mine. Leblnu , the widow of a doctor in practice in Tilly-sur-Meuse , suddenly disappeared. She lived quite alone , and her absence was not noticed by the neighbors for Bome days. The door of the house was broken open , and all the rooms were found in a state of the utmost disorder , the floor of the kitchen being covered with blood. The plate and various other articles of value had , however , not been touched , though several bank notes a list of which was afterward discovered in a drawer had been removed from the desk in which the money was kept. It was soon ascertained that two of these securities were in the possession of a peasant named Aubertiu , who resided in the neighborhood , and was known to be deeply in debt. When Aubertin was arrested he denied that ho had any hand in the crime , but it shortly transpired that on the very day when the murder was nmnmitrflfl IIR had bought a counle of pork chops from a local dealer , and there on the dining room table lay the telltale debris. Paris Cor. London Tele graph. A Tree That Produces Ilain. The people of Stillwater are greatly mystified over a remarkable natural phenomenon which exists near that town. In the field of Robert Copper , south of that place , stands a large cot- tv nwood tree , with its branches leaning out over the bed of a little creek. A few weeks ago a party of picnickers stopped under the tree and were star tled by finding that there was a contin ual shower of water falling from its leaves and branches. It is in the shape of a fine mist or drizzle , but can be plainly felt and seen at all times. Al though it had not rained in that part of the territory for weeks , the fall of water froni that tree has kept up continually , and crowds of people come from a dis tance every day to view the wonderful curiosity. Those scientifically inclined speculate , theorize and give it up ; the supersti tious ones shake their heads ominously , but the tree keeps right on sending down its shower , and whenever the sun is shining a beautiful rainbow can be seen under its branches. Oklahoma Cor. Kansas City Journal. The Lady and the Elephant. The London courts will be called upon soon to decide one of the most curious cases that ever puzzled legal brains. A lady was seated a few weeks ago in the Zoological garden , and for security's sake removed from her pocket to her lap a purse containing sis sovereigns. The show elephant shortly afterward came on its round , and , mistaking the brown purse for a bun , gracefully trans ferred it to its trunk and thence into its stomach. The management of the gar dens were at once appealed to and emet ics were applied , but no more than two of the sovereigns and munched bits of the purse were recovered. The solicitors for the lady are now , therefore , suing the Zoological society for the missing four sovereigns , and , seeing that the so ciety possesses the elephant and the ele phant possesses the sovereigns , the plain tiff claims to have a clear case. London Chronicle. Excusable Intoxication. Persons who have the misfortune to be come intoxicated in a casual way in stead of in the orthodox fashion some times put themselves to much trouble to discover reasons for their illness. Some times it is indigestion , sometimes smoke , sometimes excitement that is adjudged responsible , but Ellen Baker , who was in the dock at the Thames police court on a charge of inebriety , has found out a new and hitherto quite unsuspected ex citing cause. She had just returned , she explained , from a month's "hopping" in Kent , and "the jolting of the train had made her drunk. " Any human being , particularly a woman , deserved commiseration in such circumstances , and it is not sur prising , therefore , that Mr. Rose , the magistrate , allowed the defendant to be discharged. London Telegraph. A "Wild Deer's Free Kail road Trip. The trainmen on a freight train d Jie Central Vermont railroad discovered a deer caught in a wire fence near Pitts- ford. The men succeeded in capturing the animal uninjured and brought it to Rutland. Hundreds of persons gathered in the railroad yard to see the animal. As the law makes it illegal to kill deer in this state , an officer of the Deer Pro : tective society , who got the particulars from the captors , paid them liberally for their trouble , had them take back the deer on the return of the same train" and set it again at liberty. Cor. Boston . Herald. One of "Washington's Pennies. In 178o , while George "Washington was visiting at Turk Hill , Conn. , it is said that he dropped a bright copper penny near the site of the Mead home stead. It was one of the few coined in that year , and diligent search was made for it , but all to no purpose. The prop erty changed hands several weeks ago , and the new proprietor began to make some improvements. In throwing out the dirt near the old foundation the old penny is reported to have been unearthed. A Pittsburg man returned from Hot Springs , Cal. , a few days ago and brought with him a cluster of quartz crystals which weighs about fifty founds. A Hartford policeman was lately asked by an intoxicated man the following question : "Shay ! Can you tell me what day of the week thish shtreet ish ? " An offer of $120,000 in cash has been made for the exclusive privilege of sell ing peanuts at the World's fair.
