Seeking for information, certain ques- tions were asked of an expert whose profit lies, as a manufacturer, in producing one of the most popular self-feeding pens on the market. This authority said that “a dip of ink ought to write 100 words, That in an hour about thirty drops of ink were used, and that in the sixty minutes the pen traveled some eighth of a mile. It all depended on the idiosyncracy of the writer.” In order to test this, a number of “habitual and hardened” scribes were asked to take oné dip only of ink, and they were to work off their copy in their usual elegant or slovenly manner. As far as averages went, the result was disheart- ening. One man wrote 144 words with the one dip and another 14, and:the characters of the 144-word man were very much more legible than those of the 14-word man. There was a lady—a graceful contributor to journalism—and in her Italian hand she wrote eight words to the dip, and the faster she produced copy the less words she wrote to the single dip. It is the meas- urement- of the writing—one-eighth of a mile to the hour—which is curious, and to think it possible that there may be in- dustrious scribes who write every day of their lives more than a mile of copy! We wheel faster, we cover a mile in a trotting sulky more speedily, or we play a finer game of billards now than ever, because the machines, or the track, or the table and the balls are better constructed. With improved pens, ink, inkstand and paper do we write any more speedily than in the older time? The probability is that we are faster in our writing, the mechanical impediments having been diminished; yet the penman, even with the typewriter, never kept pace with the rapidity of his thoughts. —— ee How the Japs Ventilate Tunnels. From the Detroit Free Press. Ever since the opening of thé Port Hurcn tunnel there h: serious trouble about its ventilation. > Beaks and gases es- caping from the locomotive could not be expelled pep ttecen erfough and several de- vices were proposed and experimented with in order to securé Fresh air under the river, but all proved ¢pifurdy. It has been stated by engineers that arvelectric motor to pull the trains through: tHe hole is the only so- lution of this difficylt problem. In the current issue of the Railway ‘and Engin- ecring Review is /a-pitture, a copy of waich is given here, showing the method used in Japan for ventilating tunnels. The article accompanying the picture says: ‘Many parts of Japan are rough and mountainous, and therefore tfauble and expense of the constructiori “and ‘maintenance of tun- nels and heavy grades are not #trangers in that country. The Japs, however, usuaily find the best way out of a difficulty, and thelr method of*clariug tunnels of smoke and gases is werthy of note. Each end of the tunnel is provided witha heavy can- vas curtain suspended on a wire at the top. Immediately after a train enters, this cur- tain is drawn so as to cover the entire opening, and allowed to remain until the train has passed out of the other end. The result is that all smoke and gases are car- ried out with the. train and the tunnel left perfectly clear; in fact, the smoke seldom reaches the middie of a long train or the rear of a short one.” - Royal Mis ens'’s Made-Over From the Leadon Figaro... Ps ete =Though Tare cient and oerrectty | dressed, the Princess of Wales by no means errs onthe side of extravagance: - Her royat highness has been known to wear a gown three successive seasons when it suited her, and remained fresh and hand- some. For instance, at the opening of the People’s Palace at Whitechapel the prin- cess wore a striking dress of olive green velvet, brocaded with small ripe red strawberries. There could be no mistaking so distinctive a stuff, and it was recognized by a woman who had seen the princess in Ireland two summers before as one that had been worn at several functions in that country. The style had been altered some- what, but there was the same splendid fabric doing its thorough economical duty. Her royal hfghness’ influence, too, has ever been against excess in fashion. She has always refused to patronize very wide skirts, balloon-like sleeves, or huge over- trimmed headgear. When ordering new gowns, colored pictures of them, back and front, as they should look when finished, with ‘scraps of the proposed materials and trimmings attached, are submitted for the princess’ approval, and it is a very usual occurrence for the princess to take her own brush or pencil and alter the pictures to please her excellent taste. The gowns are fitted on a model of her figure, and the work women do not see her at all un.ess considerable alterations are necessary. The clever brush has made it so certain just what her royal highness wants that a per- sonal intérview is needless. = -s00 The Armenian Colony in Texas. From the New York T:ibune. Three Armenian families from Diarbekir and other ports of Turkey, one comprised of ten persons, with a grandfather eighty years of age, wer: added to the number of the small Armenian colony settled in Pat- terson and Brookshire, Texas, on the line of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail- road. They are mostly engaged in raising cotton and corn, also some vegetables and fruits. One of the early settlers has a ginning factory, and gins a thousand bales of cot- ton during the season, and three others have stores for general merchandise in the little town of Brookshire. Recent letters represent that almost all these Armenians are doing well, and are gradually advanc- ing. One of them writes that he lived six years in the north and during all that time, with very hard work, he was scarcely able to lay aside $300. With that amount on hand he went to Texas, and, living there six years, saved about $10,000. They all say: “We have better food and in abund- ance, and breathe purer air than those who are trying to earn a living in the fac- tories of the large cities of the north.” A man with $200 or $300 to start with can make a living there more easily than he can in the north. All their neighbors. in ‘Texas testify that these Armenians prove to be a desirable class of residents. By close attention to the minor details of farm routine work they are prospering, and are now leading merchants, ginners and farm- ers. As a class they are frugal, indus- trious, temperate and public-spirited. They have fully proved their worth. —_—_—_seo A Fatal Oversight. From the Atlanta Constitution. Yesterday a farmer picked up a daily newspaper, but suddenly dropped it, ex- claiming: “Well, what a fool!” “Why, I see from this paper that Con- gress has.met, an’ I didn’t tell our ope gressman what sort o’ seed I wanted be- fore he left!” “You might write him,” suggested the by- stander. ; “Yes,” replied the farmer, “but what in thunder will he do till he gits my letter!” ‘cunning than men $0 couceal- }, and are wiser in we- ee ‘6.

It is not often that a man builds a one- story structure and has it transformed into one of two stories almost without effort on his part. This, however, is the experience of J. W. Fesler, who lives north of Morgantown, a village a few miles southwest of Franklin, Ind. He has a barn which threatens to develop into a “sky- scraper.” In 1891, having need of a new barn, he built a small structure, and in its corstruction he used green willow posts at the corners and along the sides. These he sunk into the ground in the usual mani says the Inter-Ocean. For some time no ing unusual was noticed, but after a year he saw that whereas he laid the floor near the ground, it was now three feet above the soil. On examination he discovered that the willow pcsts, instead of being dead, as he supposed they were on putting them in, were in reality alive, and had taken root and were growing. In their upward movement they carried the barn along. He watched this with interest month by month and year by year. Of course, he had to build another barn, for i: was inconvenient to use the constantly rising structure. Last spring the first barn was on stilts nine feet high, and in August he put in a new floor and surrounded the posts with siding, thereby making it a two-story affair. There is now a space of 7 inches between the new floor and the ground, and Mr. Fesler expects to have a three-story barn in course of time. He has built outside stairs to the second story. The neighbors come for miles around to see “‘Fesler’s elevator,” as they call it, and he and his barn are the sub- jects of a great deal of fun in and around Morgantown. ————+ee_____ “Made in the United States.” From the New York National Provisioner. ~ The industrial supremacy of this country is as much as virtually admitted by Great Britain. Her statesmen are endeavoring to protect home manufacturers against le- gitimate American competition by prevent- ing Engiish buyers from knowing where goods superior to their own can be obtain- ed. Havirg invaded the English home and colonial markets we have established our right to the position we hold by supplying manufactured and other products whose superior quality could not fail of recogni- tion. American products of all kinds have displaced thcee of England in many quar- ters of the gicbe, and it is frankly admitted by horest Englishmen that more attention. to local requirements on our part, superior finish, lower price, more careful packing ard the omission to make special charges therefer, cheaper freights and more rapid communication have all contributed to our conquest of the markets of the world. The absurdity Of claiming, as some Englishmen do, that American workmen are not ro ex- acting as to hours of labor and work longer than the Engtishman is apparent, for while there may be less interference with the conduct of business affairs on the part of American trades unions, the wages and hours of labor of the American workman, more through natural conditions than organization, are ——. etter than those of the The fact that we bave ccnquered is not due to any ex- loitation “of L labor, but simply to the effi- of workman's labor, the larcer +, and the bus- methods everywhere employed.
