Charlemagne devoted much of his spare time to swimming, and easily | outstripped all who competed against him. A queen of Denmark, as a pastime, made dresses, and proudly claimed that most of her garments were the work of her own hands. Caligula, emperor of Rome, amused | himself by feeding human beings to | wild beasts, in a portion of his palace | | expressly arranged for that purpose. | Frederi the Great found needed | | rest in pl g with dogs, and his last | words were: “Cover him; he is cold,” referring to a hound that had placed | his nose against the hand of the dying monarch. From nothing can a more correct idea of the peculiarities constituting | the individuality of those who figure | conspicuously in history be gained than from a consideration of their recreations and pastimes—not always | {n harmony with the character gener- ally attributed to the persons them- selves. Peter the Great allowed himself no rest 1rom work.

New York bas now 60,000 telephone ! stations, which rank it as the largest | | ef the world’s city telephone systems. | The Rortgen rays are now used as a | test for death, the body after death being far more opaque to them than during life. The malaptecurus, a fish only eight inches long, can develop a shock of 200 volts of electricity in the two-thou- sandth partofa second. Consul General Guenther, of Frank- fert, says that, according to experi- ments conducted by Mr. H. Janssen on Mount Blane, it is not necessary te } erect poles for stringing telephone and telegraph wires in snow-coverei countries. If the snow is several inches thick it serves as a good insulator; the wires can simply be laid down and be ready for transmission of messages. The consul general adds thet similar experiments with equally favorable results were made on Mount Aetna. HIGH GRADE CLOTHER AND TAILOR. 723 Seventh Street, N.
