T'liw is- no one individual In private,

ol.l. a ho possesses such n wealth of
books and rare manuscripts, paintings,
sculpture and articled of virtu, as this
ravenous collector of things of beauty
or historic interest. Indeed, to house
simply a part of the treasures he has
of this kind he has built a splendid arc
gallery and library adjoining his New
York residence, and ho has other treas
ures nbrond which he probably will
never bring to this country on account
of the heavy duties he would have to
pay to secure their admission. Tha
Morgan library in East Thirty-sixth
street, New York, has recently been
the subject of some discussion because
of the fact that something lias really
been learned about what It contained.
The library and art gallery has been
considered one of the best things ever
done by that noted architect, Charles
F. IMcKlni, and ns a public building
would be something of which any city
might be proud. It Is such a structure

his treasures in literature and art and

the academic procession clad In the
classic cap and gown. Perhaps some
thought that his money had bought
him such honors and that his acquaint
ance with scholastic subjects Is not
much beyond that of the average busi
ness man. Jjjuch tin idea is u big mis
take, however, for Mr. Morgan has u
wonderful knowledge of a great many
matters pertaining to tlte literary and
artistic treasures which he possesses,
some of which have formed the sub
ject of vety learned discussions by
authorities in the field of archaeology,
art and letters.
Among the treasures of the art gal
lery in Xuw York are the famous
Ashburnuni gospels, the golden gos
pels of Henry VIII., the original man
uscripts of Myron's "Don Juiin," "Man
fred," "Marino Fallero" and other po
ems, of Thackeray's "Vaulty Fair," of
nine of Scott's novels, including "Ivnu
hoe;" manuscripts of masterpieces or
Dumas, George Sand, Iteade, liulwer
Lytton and Charlotte Bronte uud four
volumes of Burns' manuscripts, In
cluding the first copy of his "Cotter's
Saturday Night."
The gallery Is filled with paintings,
sculpture, carvings, tapestries, etc.,
which would be counted treasures ot
almost priceless character by uny mu
seum fortunate enough to possess
them, and many of tho mauuscrlpta
and rare books, besides being works
of art In themselves, are Incased In
bindings of gold and enamel and Ivory
nnd set with gems. The light 'falling
through the windows of cathedral
glass Is reflected from gold and silver
and from hundreds of Jewels which
If sold would make several fortunes of
respectable size. But tlielr owner has
taken good care that the covetous and
evil minded do not obtain access to
his treasure house, and some of tho
chambers of the gallery are practical

possessions of the stern vlsaged prince
of finance are kept us safely from ao

A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural Law, Yet Haa All tha
Appoarance of Magic.
No one would suppose thot It Is pos
sible to hold n glowing coal on n piece
of llnon or cotton without burning tho
cloth, but that such can be douu Is ensy
for uuy one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches tin Impor
tant natural law. Kxcry child kuowa
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made of copper because that metal
Is a good conductor of heat and elec
tricity, wlilch Is only another form of
heat If a poker Is heated in the (Ire
you pick up a cloth to hold the outer
end, although it has not been In the
Are, because experience has taught you
that the heal Is connected through the
metal from the (Ire to tho outer end.
This experiment with the (laming
coal is based upon tills principle and
the additional one that iineu and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat. Take
a globe of copper uud draw a pleco of
cloth tightly over It so that there is
not a wrinkle at the top. If the linen
or cotton Ib closely woven the trick Is
nil the more certain. Tlies, holding the
cloth tightly in place, you can safely
put a glowing coal on top of the cloth,
and, while it burns fiercely, the cloth
will not even bo scorched.
The reason is that tho great conduc
tivity of tho copper draws the heat of
tho coal before it enn burn tho cloth.
Do not make this experiment with a
good handkerchief first, for if the cloth
Is not tightly drawn It may burn, but
tako some worthless ploce of linen or
muslin, nnd( after you are certain of
your experience you can astonish your
friends who do not know tho secret-

DEADLY POISONS.
One Whiff of Pure Prusslc Acid la
Sufficient to Kilt.
The discoverer of prusslc acid was
Instantly killed by Inhaling one whlft
of his own handiwork.
Pure prusslc acid Is never sold or
handled. The smell of It is always
fatal. It kills not In three minutes or
half an hour, but tho instant It enters
tho lungs as a gas. The mixture or
dinarily sold as prusslc acid Is 08 parts
water to two parts of the drug. Even
In this form It Is very deadly. A 1!0
per cent mixture of the ncld would kill
neurly as quickly as If pure.
Atropine, though it has no harmful
odor. Is so deadly that as much of it as
would adhere to the end of n moistened
forefinger would instantly cause death.
Cyanide of potassium has a pleasant
smell which Is not Injurious, but n
small quantity swallowed kills at once.
Puro ammonia if inhaled would
cause death almost as quickly as prus
slc acid.

to innrk a closer business relationship
between the brilliant young lnwyer
nnd tho leader of the financial world
In America, but Mr. Satterlee followed
the patli he had laid out for himself
nnd depended on his own capabilities.
Mr. Satterice's most conspicuous
place as an organizer was tnketr when
he became one of a committee formed
to reorganize the Knickerbocker Trust
company. The committee became
known us the Satterlee committee nnd
was the representative of the-depositors.
Mr. Satterlee devised the plnn
