A Kansas City paper says : The ,
Williams Palace Sleeping Car company
has been organized with a capital stock
of $5oooooo , to manufacture in this city
a new car unequalled in point of coui-
fort , convenience and elegance by any
sleeping car now in use. The new car i
the invention of a local railroad main ,
who was formerly connected with the
Missonri Pacific and the Rock Island ,
roads. The leading shareholders of the
company are eastern capitalists , who
are heavily interested in railroads and
railroad machiatery. J. 0. A. King and
L. Buchanan of this city are also , stock-
holders. The main feature of the new
car is a berth which disappears at the
will of the passenger into tine wall of the
car , and is confined in a space of one
and seven-eighths inches Mattresses I
of air are to be used , and all bed
clothing can be put iii ! ockers underneath -
neath the seats of each section. The
berths will be made of steel and alumi-

C. P. Judge , the clever foreman of
the B. & M. bridge carpenters' gang.
was making Benkelman his headquar-I
ters a'couple of days , first of the week.
To a Bee reporter Mr. Judge gave t' "
information that he is about to con'
plete one of the nicest residences in M c-
C ) ok , and when completed it will bee
o cupied by himself and family. It i ,
a story and a half high with four large
rooms. The doors of this dwelling i
will all contain the latest pattern of
colored glass , also the windows. Mr.
Judge being a skilled carpenter and
carver , he has finished the interior of
the dwelling in a most artistic style. ,
Birds , roses and other images carved I
from wood here and there bedeck the
walls and ceiling in such a manner as ,
to attract the eve of the most fast t
tidions. During the past twelve coil-
secutive years Mr. Judge has been a
steady employe of the Burlington road
and the manner in which he has always -
ways discharged his duties has convinced -
vinced his employers that he is a faithful -
ful and conservative man. The erection -
tion of this cottage will show that Mr.
Judge has saved his earnings and instead -
stead of living an aged life in pain and i
misery , he will enjoy it with ease alai
comfort.-Benkelman Bee.
FREAKS OF NATURE. .
6oale Cttriona Thinge Than Ammar and As.
toniah Men of Science.
Nature's freaks of fancy afford s
atrango study. People are constantly
sending to the National museum supposed -
posed fossil animals and other oddities
which are in reality mere accidental
forms carved by water. A pebble in a
stream gathers about itself 'grains of
sand until an odd sbapcd lump is
made. A favorite shape for such lumps
is that of a turtle with four legs , a head
and tali , even the lines of the shell being -
ing sometimes distinct. Similar concretions -
tions of carbonate of iron and clay assume -
sume the appearance of petrified pea-
nuts. Break one , and you will always
find inside a small spiral winkle shell ,
which has served tis the nucleus. A
queer counterfeit of this land , forwarded -
ed to Washington not long ago , was an
alleged fossil foot of a child , with a little -
tle stocking on , the latter showing signs
of wear on the ball of the foot and on
the heel It was only a concretion , as
was likewise what appeared to be a petrified -
rified oyster on the shell.
One eminent scientist has been amusing -
ing himself of late by making imitation
spider webs out of quartz fibers. It is
well known that copper wire tan be
drawn to a fineness much less than the
thickness of a hair-in fact , to the diameter - t
ameter of the one-thousandth pm t of an
I
inch. But glass may bospun finer than
copper , while even the finest spun glass
is not so fine as silk fiber. The latter ,
however , Is coarse compared with the
threads that can be obtained by melting
quartz under a blowpipe and pulling it
out. Such threads may be redu ed to a
thinness of one-millionth of inn inch.
Drawn to such tenuity , they arts invisible -
blo under a microscope of the bgu. st
power. Yet they are stronger in hropor
tion to their thickness than the best
quality of bar steel Enough thread like
this could be made from a single cubic
inch of quartz to go around the world
658 times. A grain of sand barely large
enough to be visible to the naked eye I
would yield 1 , 000 miles of thread.
Obviously no practical use can be
made of threads so extremely fine.
Comparatively coarse ones were woven
into cobwebs by the scientist aforesaid.
They would not catch flies because the ,
were too slippery , having no gluten on
them , like real cobwebs. This difficulty
was got over by moistening a straw in
caster oil and gently stroking the threads
with it ; then the webs captured flies
fairly well. But a cobweb is incomplete
without a spider , so it occurred to the
experimenter to attract an arachnid to
his web by the buzzing of a fly. It was f
difficult to make a fly buzz to order , but
a satisfactory imitation was produced
by permitting' a timing fork to vibrate
against the quartz fibers. This fetched
the spider rgrit away. The scientist also
amused himself with blowing bubbles
of quartz , which looked exactly like
the most beautiful soap bubbles.--

. Sponge Fishing.
The Greeks are considered the prin
cipal sponge fishers , and it takes much
experience , skill and hardihood to qualify -
fy a man for a first class place among
sponge divers Many of the most vain.
able specimens are found at a depth
varying from 10 to 35 fathoms. To aid
in the descent , the divers make use of a
triano k r stone , with a hole in one cot'
nor , through which a rope is spliced.
On reaching the deep sea gardens , where
the rock ledges are clothed with marine
growths , the diver , retaining a hold on
his rope , dexterously breaks away the
holdfast of the sponges and places them
under his arm until asufficient load has
been gleaned , when a pull on the rope
signals his companions above that he is
really to ascend , and he is then hauled
to the surface , bearing his ocean treas-
uTcs.-Exchange.
Manuscript of "The School For Scandal :
No printed version of "The School
For Scandal" was prepared for publication -
tion by Sheridan. He always alleged
that lie could not supply one with which
he was perfectly satisfied. Yet he made
the attempt , and Mr. Fraser Rae has
discovered the copy containing his final
corrections of passages in many scenes ,
which Moore must have overlooked , the
documents at his disposal havingrecent
ly been put into Mr. Fraser Rae's hands
by Sheridan's descendants for the purpose -
pose of writing a complete biography of
the great dramatist and orator . The
manuscript is imperfect , yet enough is
extant to show how effectually Sheridan
could add a fresh charm to his polished
phrases.-London Athenaeum.
Rulers of horses and Men.
It is instructive to compare the visage -
age of the ruler of horses with that of
tae ruler of men. The horseman's fare
shows command in the mouth ; the drill
sergeant's iu the month and the eye
The last is undoubtedly the most effective -
ive instrument in exacting obedience
from our own species. Here we get a
h : it of the ran5e of that want of dignity -
nity , that element of coarseness , which
is discernable in the countenances of
some men and women who have much
to do with horses. The higher and no-
bier method of expressing authority is
outweighed by the lower and more ani
mal one.-Blackwood's Magazine.
Are Men Getting More Vain ?
A local philosopher , who makes a
practice of observing other people's
manners and commenting upon their
habits , states that nearly every man now
carries a pocket mirror. According to
him , this habit has grown immensely
of late , and nearly every man can be
observed at frequent intervals pulling a
glass out of his pocket and looking at
the set of his necktie or the appearance
of his whiskers.-Philadelphia Call.
