in the fine tailoring trade there is not
nearly the demand for enormous lines of
fabrics that there once was. Given a
few good things in a moderate range of
really fine colorings and five times the
number of people 6eem to be satisfied
with them as was the case a few years
ago. A leading Hanover street tailor
said to me the other day, "It used to
seem as if every customer we served ex
pected we would have a special piece of
cloth woven for his suit alone and the
pattern destroyed afterward." This ma
nia for exclusiveness is now far more
characteristic of cheap trade than it ia
of the best.
True swells go in for quality and fine
ness which the cheap trade cannot touch,
and there is now nothing about the pat
terns in vogue which the cheap trade
can easily imitate. It is the same in

A Cat Raises Squirrels.
Our fellow townsman, James H. Gal
loway, tells of a very peculiar way of
raising squirrels. About three week3
ago Mr. Galloway's son, while out hunt
ing, found a nest of young squirrels,
which were only a day or two old. They
were brought to town, but as they were
too young to be raised by hand it was
npwcsnrv to find them a mother. Mr.
Galloway had an old house cat, which
had young kittens, and as an experi
ment all the kittens were killed except
one, and the squirrels were put in their
places, and strange as it may seem
the old mother cat did not seem to no
tice the difference, but seemed to be
very fond of her adopted family, and is
raising them with the most motherly
care. Osceola (Mo.) Sun.

THOUSANDS OF VOLTS.
STARTLING EFFECTS OF SOME HIGH
TENSION CURRENTS.
Electricity at u 1'rexsure That Is Sinply
WoiMlorr.il What May Ite llune with m
Curn ut of 4 5,000 Volts Can Hardly lt
'Tfrrinriiwi -tUiwar.ktthlg Sights.
'Several - tests . have been made with
alternating currents of electricity at very
high pressures. As only 1 ,600 volts were
needed to kill the condemned murderers
in Sing' Sing prison, the effect of 45,000
and 45,000 volts on animate and inan
imate objects can hardly be imagined.
The difficulty of insulating the enormous
force is very serious, as an arc will flash
across four or five inches of Fpace be
tween the electrodes, and high tension
currents have not been used much. The
current for the lights and power at the
electro-technical exhibition at Frank-fort-on-the-Main
was transmitted from
Lauffen, where it was generated by
water power, at a pressure of 10,000
volts. After the close of the exhibition
experiments were made with tho wire
and insulators at high pressures, and
they were among the most interesting of
the electrical experiments.
The distance between the cities is
about 10S miles, and the wire, one
eighth of an inch in diameter, weighed
HJ.OOO pounds. Tho insulators were
aide to preserve the intensity of the cur
rent. Each was composed of three sec
tions. Tho iMjreelain top was flat, with
a deep groove for the wire. Underneath
was a saucer shaped receptacle, and be
neath that were two more, one of larger
breadth and depth than the other, and
all were filled with oil. The binding
wires ran through the oil, which is a
good nonconductor. At Frankfort a
commutator changed tho alternating
current to a continuous current for light
and power. In the experiments the
pressure was increased to L'0,000, 40,000
and 4,000 volts.
Beyond 27,000 volts the porcelain in
sulators were punctured frequently. In
producing an arc between two carbons
at 40,000 volts a plate of glass was
pierced very quickly. At 43,000 volts
the intensity was so great that the light
was not so brilliant as it was at 20,000
volts. It is believed that 50,000 volts
can bo reached with conductors pro
tected from the effects of weather.
CURRENTS OF 40,000 VOLTS.
Almost at the same time the Siemens
Bros., of London, were experimenting
with high tension currents, having had
at the Naval exhibition an apparatus
capable of delivering a current at a pres
sure of 45,000 volts. This description of
a private exhibition of the apparatus
with 40,000 volts is from Engineering:
"On a table was an electrode t-ome
three inches in length, connected to one
terminal of a transformer. Over it was
mounted a large sheet of glass three mil
limeters thick, and above the glass was
a second electrode terminating in a sharp
point, the distance between 'the elec
trodes being three centimeters. When
the current was turned on to the primary
coil of the transformer there first ap
peared a purple haze at the upper elec
trode streaming toward the fdass. As
the current increased this haze grew in
fullness and definition, and began to
throw out feelers, which darted outward
and as quickly withdrew. As the elec
tromotive force augmented still further,
these feelers gathered power until they
beat themselves on the glass as if they
would force themselves through it in
their mad desire to reach the other elec
trode. The whole space below the point
ed conductor became alive with them,
and exhibited a mass of leaping, crack
ling threads of purple fire, which writhed
and twisted in impotent attempts to
burst through the barrier, and failing
that, spread themselves along its surface,
endeavoring to rush over its edges, and
so reach their goal by a circuitous route.
"But this was beyond their strength
until the electro-motive force approached
45,000 volts, when suddenly the entire
appearance was changed. The current
overleaped the edges of the plate and
flowed completely around it in all di
rections. At that moment the intense
purple color of the spark disappeared,
and was replaced by white light of the
greatest brilliancy, which glistened and
flashed, until the spectators had to turn
away their bedazzled gaze.
REMARKABLE EXPERIMENTS.
"A change in the arrangement was
then made. The upper pointed electrode
was replaced by a brass disk, three
inches in diameter. This was laid over
the surface of the glass plate with three
very thin washers of vulcanite, inter
vening between the two. The current
was then turned on in the same gradual
manner as before. The space between
the two disks immediately filled with
purple light, which had sufficient motion
in it to recall the flame of a Bunsen
burner, spread out under the bottom of
a beaker. Sparks then began to appear
at the edges, and, as they gathered
strength, to radiate a little beyond them.
Gradually they became streamers,
stretching out along the surface of the
plate in curved, fanciful forms which
twined and twisted and weaved them
selves into a glistening filagree, compared
by an imaginative spectator to an ago
nized Japanese chrysanthemum.
"This experiment had not the brilliant
refulgence of the one that preceded it,
but was characterized by a quivering
irradiation which wreathed and tossed
like a bird beating itself at the bars of
its cage. In spite of its less formidable
appearance, however, it proved destruc
tive to the glass, which presently flew
in pieces with a crash. Several sheets
were tried in succession, but each was
pierced and broken and allowed the cur
rent to attain its object of flowing di
rectly from one electrode, to the other."
In experimenting with an arc at 44,000
volts the arc established itself when the
electrodes were five inches apart, but the
flames, instead of bridging the space,
spread out; in two thin tongues at right
angles to the electrodes and parallel to
each other. When the electrodes were
pushed nearer together the flames wan
dered back along the stems, repelling
each other. New York Times.
KKQ PATRICK THE
A. Wicked Sarannah Sailor Who Has n
come au Oriental Potentate.
Twenty years ago Patrick O'KeclTa
was a comparatively poor man, making
his living as a sailor on small vessels
coasting between Savannah and neigh
boring jMjrts. Today he is a king. He
is the owner and absolute ruler of the
island of Nyph, in the Australian
groups of the Pacific, almost in the heart
of , the. tropics. He would probably Vie
still a resident of Savannah and a poor
man, but for two tragedies in which he
figured as one of the principals.
In 1S67, as the story is told by an old
timer, he was mate of the schooner An
nie Sims, which plied between this city
and Darien. On the schooner was a
young Irish sailor named Sullivan. He
and O'Keeffo were apparently good
friends. While near Darien loading
lumber the mate was building a cabin
on the schooner and he asked Sullivan
what he thought of it. Tho sailor mado
a joking reply which angered O'KeelTe,
and a fight resulted. Sullivan got the
best of it and O'KeefTe went to his quar
ters, and securing a pistol, returned and
Vegan firing at the sailor.
The latter dodged behind the new
cabin several times, and finally got up
and remarked to O'Keeffo that ho
couldn't shoot anybody. But he was
mistaken, for the next bullet struck him
and he died in a short whUe. The mate
was brought to Savannah, and, after ft
!ong confinement in jail, was tried and
acquitted in the United States court
Afterward, while an officer of a small
steamer, he had trouble with one of the
deck hands and ran him into tho river,
were he was drowned.
These troubles seemed to worry
O'Keeffe, and he determined to leave
the "States." us he termed it. In 1S71
he saile '. .rray from Savannah as second
mate on an American vessel bound for
Liverpool, an:. when he bade his friends
good by on the wharf he told them that
he would never return to Savannah un
less he came in his own ship.
From Liverpool he shipped to the East
Indies, and from there to IIoug-Kong.
He had saved a little money by this time,
and began a small fruit and lumber busi
ness between the Pacific islands and
Hong-Kong. He was successful, and
after a few years secured the island of
Njph from the natives by a trade of
tome sort. The island abounds in teak
wood and fruit, and O'Keeffe bought a
schooner and brig and started business
on a big scale. His vessels ran to Hong
Kong, and he soon built up an extensive
trade, which has steadily increased, until
now he is reckoned as a very wealthy
man.
0"Keeffe left behind him when he
sailed away from Savannah a wife and a
baby daughter, who is now a young
womarl. For years nothing was heard
of his whereabouts. After he began to
prosper in his faraway home, however,
lie wrote a letter and sent monej' to his
wife. He tried to persuade her and his
daughter to go to him, but they wouldn't
do it. Regularly twice a year since lie
sends remittances for their support and
keeps up a correspondence with them.
Mrs. O Keeffe and her daughter live on
Liberty street, near East Broad, and
have an oil painting of the brig of the
king of Nyph hanging in their parlor.
Besides being a trader or wealth and
position, O'Keeffe is the ruler of a large
colony made up mostly of Malays, who
swear by him. Savannah News.
Albanl Singing In Kussia.
What Mme. Albani related to her in
terviewer as one of her most remarkable
experiences was her treatment in Russia
at the royal marriage, where the singers,
he observed, are all considered as serv
ants. "Well," she says, "it was most
strange. We were all put in a sort of
balcony which looked down upon the
banqueting scene below, and as each of
our turns came to sing we went to a
little opening and sang through it. What
amused me was this, that all the time
we were trying to sing our best and pro
duce our notes more effectively, the clat
ter of knives and forks still went on, and
to make all complete, the singer might
be in a most impressive passage and
right in the midst of it, when, quite re
gardless of the uncomplaining singers,
there would be flourish of trumpets ana
somebodv would get up and propose a
toast. I was more fortunate than Mme
Patti. for she was interrupted in th
middle of her solo." London News.
A Large Illackfish.
Mrs. T. L. Watson takes the prize fo?
big blackfish caught in Black Rock ha
bor this year and for many other years
also. General T. L. Watson, T. W
Pearsall, Mrs. Watson and Captain O
Penfield were fishing Friday off the
spindle near Penfield reef. Mrs. Watson
was using a light rod, and suddenly her
line was struck by something of unusual
size. She pulled in till the rod bent
nearly double, and then, declining as
sistance, passed the rod back, as the fish
could not be lifted by it, and pulled in
at the line "hand over hand."
The line was light but it held, and
she brought to the surface and safely
landed in the boat a blackfish, which
being taken ashore and immediately
weighed, pulled down the scale at seven
pounds plump. Captain Penfield Bays it
is the biggest blackfish caught in Black
Rock harbor in ten years. Bridgeport

Value of Houses In England.
it may be gathered from the annual
report of her majesty's commissioners ot
inland revenue that more than one-third
of the whole annual value of houses and
messuages in England and Wales is to
be found in London, and more than one
fourth that of the United Kingdom. The
annual value for London in 1890 was
35,155,593, and for the United Kingdom
138,589,982. London Tit-Bits.
