From the Springfield Republican.
From Marseilles to Nice the railway trip
is one of constant delight. The Mediter
ranean on the one hand and rugged, lofty
< lifts—often surmounted by some old mon
astery or other structure—on the other,
and between the two sloping fields and
fruit trees in full bloom, the soil of every
shade of rich brown and darn red* and cul
tivated with greatest- care in narrow rib
oons—a ribbon of greenest grass, alternat
ing with one of brown or red. and so we
rode along the shores of the blue sea filled
with delight.
Paris is too big, too ponderous for a tired
ihau. Its distances are appalling. Us arch
itecture overwhelming aud one doesn’t rest.
But Nice is perfect, save one thing—what
Dickens wrote of the staring white of Mar
stiles is truer still of this city. The streets
and sidewalks are “whitey.” and the
buildings are either white or cream, or
light pink or light yellow, with sometimes
a-very light blue. On the first morning I
went down to the quay to see the yacht
race, anil found everything so bright that
could not stand it till having purchased a
pair of smoked glasses for 75 centimes (15
rents i and a string to swing them with*
thrown in. I was made comparatively
comfortable thereby. Pretty parks with
fountains, flowers and palms and seats for
tired people; grand villas with well-kept
grounds, gay shop windows, queer people—
myself the queerest of all. perhaps.
Yesterday 1 walked many miles to get a
good idea of the city. • Near the center a
deep river bed cuts the city in twain. The
chasm is walled up perpendicularly and is
spanned by several stone bridges at least
tOO feet long. In the rainy season a tor
rent must pour through this place, but now
only a small rapid stream finds its way
through the water course. Standing upon
the bridges and looking down stream you
see hundreds of wotaen washing clothes in
the stream, women dressed in all colors
washing clothes of all colors, and spread
ing them upon the smooth, clean bowlders
which fill the bed between the walls. . You
see acres of clothes drying thus, and hun
dreds of eager women washing, ever wash
ing, kneeling in their baskets, and bending
over the stieam, every day and all day.
liow their backs must ache as the great
I Pies of clothes to be washed gradually di
minish ! But more and more women with
baskets are coming continually and your
heart grows sick.
•You notice that those farthest up the
btream have the cleanest water, when sud
denly the sickening thought comes, -Is it
possible that my clothes a e washed here!
->ly handkerchief, towel, napkin!” You re
fuse to believe it. yet fear to look lest you
might recognize something belonging to
yeu, yet you mentally resolve to wear your
underclothing till it drops off, preferring
to endure the dirt you have than to run the
risk of that you know not of. Yes, you re
fuse to accept it, yet you go back to your
room and rinse out your towel and hand
kerchief in clean water and then smell and
sniff them with comfort.
la ray walk yesterday I went over to the
V'feUy little harbor where all the yachts
tie up. Vanderbilt's famous steam'yacht
was there and, of course, is the lamest and
finest of them all. But all of them are
splendid. 1 must tell E. that as his wood
rims attract attention so do mine, for none
we re ever tec a here before, and than my
brake everybody wants to handle it.
While it (the wheel) is at the station wait
ing for a train crowds of excited French
men get around it and dispute about it in a
language that no man can understand
least of all themselves, as is proved by
their actions. But I'm bourn} to say that
they haudle it as gently and treat it as re
spectfully as if it were frail- gluss and its
owner an emperor.
1 can never sit down to write but- as at
this moment —some sweet singer or singers
with guitars or other instruments take po
sition in front of the windows and sing in
tenderest strains. The grouuds in front of
mis hotel arc seipitropical and enchanting
to any but blind people, and even they', it
not deprived of smell, might think them
selves in Paradise. Shaded seats, little
tables in quiet nooks. Ah 1 bow that sing
er s voice makes the chills go down my
back 1
If 1 wero 20 years old only-. I would work
bard, save every dollar and buy a villa
here. I did not expect to more than half
ike this Riviera country, but I do wonder
fully well. The Maritime Alps come down
to the sea, making a beautifully indented
shore line with frequent fine natural har
bors betwisfen'the headlands, and at every
such point nestles a most charming villa or
town. Thus we have the mount and
m a always in sight whichever way we
turn. The beauty is indescribable. Every
thing clean and sweet. Great beds of
splendid flowers without the slightest pro
tection in ail public places, which are nu
merous. Notody, not even children, med
dles with them, though no notice says,
“Touch not.” No one goes on the grass,
though there are no warning signs. We
are living id “Rue Rossini” at Hotel
Reneve. Walking not far from here the
other day, where several streets meet, upon
glancing up 1 saw “Rue Gounod,” “Rue
Verdi,” “hue Meyerbeer.” I did not dare
look on the other corners, lest 1 should
break out into song, and there are so diera
everywhere here, and when I sing I do not
want to be interfered with.
The other oa.v 1 rode my wheel out to a
town called Var. making a trip of seven
teen miles. Some of the grades are so easy
that you may coast at little greater speed
than a walk for a long distance. Yester
day we took cars for Monaco and Monte
1 arlo. Monai o is a little villa built on a
high promontory, with a fine drive up to it,
" Hiding under its frowning hills. At the
’'hi also is the palace of the prince who is
owner of the principality of Monaco and
Monte Carlo. They are close together and
the latter is the most noted gambling place
' the world as well as one of the mo3t
beautiful. We went into the great casino
where the gambling was going on. It is a
splendid building surrounded with grounds
that are as enchanting as money can
possibly make them, and on one tide is the
s<a and on the other mountains.
"'■ had to submit to close scrutiny before
"o could pass into the gaming rooms, as no
resident is ever allowed in there. We found
splendid rooms, and I counted in the va
rious apartments eleven tables with fifty or
’’.ore men aud women around each one
gambling for dear life. Outside of those
netting wero two circles of spectators
v atching the play. Women seemed the

ITALIANS AND TUKIK UOBSEJ.
1 hey are cruel to animals. You call a
‘b, off you go, uphill and down, as if you
u, -ro in a tearing hnrry, and you cannot
'ip yourself, for cabby doesn’t know—nor
■re what you say. There's one way out
';i It. however, as 1 found. I hired a cab to
■ a cerrttin course at a fixed price, after
hu hwe wero to pay by tho hour. While
'Ming the first part cabby kept his poor

"ss cunous to see if a (bungs would not
ouio when tho time arrived for work
by the hour to begin. Sure enough, horse
ana driver understood each other. True,
the driver struck at his horse repeatedly,
out from the other side and in a totally
ui .erent manner, and the horse paid no at
tention to bis apparent efforts, but walked
on perfectly level roads. However, 1 was
glad tor its sake. It would not do for you
to come here, as you would get into trouble
at once. A woman who, like you. couldn’t
bear to see horses abused complained to
the authorities of a man who was thus
cruel. He was convicted and put in jail,
but they made the woman who complained
support the man’s family during his incar
ceration If you can afford to support half
of Italy, why, come on and try it.
The principal industry for men seems to
be yelling like mad about something or an
other, I couldn't see what; and the women
also take a hand ( f >in it. The yelling was
to inform the public (the whole world. I
thought) that they had something to sell,
usually vegetables. But they do a good
deal of washing, besides, and in many
parts of the city miles of clothing can be
seen hanging from two to five stories
nigh above the narrow streets. There are
public places where the washing is done,
and you.may see the poor old crones slip
ping a garment down against a rock again
and again, wearily trying to -pound the
dirt out of it. No warm water is ever
used, so far as I can find out. in Italy, and
no other washboard than a rock or the
hands—poor old hands that have a.com
panied their owners in their worxdresses
to church at fi a. m., at the call of matin
bells, and will continue to do so each morn
ing as long as their feet can carry tlism.
Well, lei’s leave Genoa. As we had to
sneak into the city through a long tunnel,
so we must sneak out through another
that seems two miles long and between
Genoa and Spezia there are at least 75 of
these tunnels, some long, some short, in a
distance of fifty-six miles. From Spozia to
Pisa is four and a half miles mostly over a
level country with the first appearance of
woods that 1 have seen since leaving
America.
PISA’S LEANING TOWER.
Now for Pisa. No sooner was our bag
gage checked at Hotel Minerva than we
inouted our wheels and speeded over to the
leaning tower, the Cathedral and the bap
tistry. 1 wheeled round and round the
tower, gazing up its rusty-looking shafts,
and then struck out into the country. Next
morning we went over to the Campanile
and tramped to the top. I more than half
expected the thing would take that very
time to complete its fall. The sensation
while climbing it is very queer—something
as on shipboard when the level changes
and you lurch forward unaccountably and
ungracefully, and fetch up suddenly where
yon didn’t intend to. So on the steep side
of the tower we went laboring on round
the winding way, till the upper side of the
spiral is reached, we would have to walk
in that disagreeable way. Indeed, on the
sharply descending side 1 sometimes feared
I would run right out of the openings-in
the sides, and thus instantly cut short this
interesting series of lettersr I would find
myself going faster and faster toward the
opening, holding back all I could and just
getting my balance in time. But after you
got pretty well up it is not so bad, as the
upper part is not so much inclined and the
last story is level. It is a queer old struc
ture. and the great wonder is that though
it settled so much (thirteen feet out of per
pendicular) after they began building it,
yet it never cracked. The Cathedral was
built in 1000 aud something, and till I
reached Florence was the largest I had
seen. The Campo Santo here is very differ
ent from the ope at Genoa. Here are great
frescoes of the “Last Judgment,” over
which your friend liuskin has spent year3
of time and shed lots of ink. There is a
wonderful amount of action in these fres
coes. •
In the judgment the judge sits away up
aloft, of course, while beneath him his
various servants or helpers carry out his
orders. On his rig.it is a company of the
good, who are looking with some awe still
left upon their faces, upturned to the
judge; but one detects a little satisfaction
mingled with tfle awe. In tho near fore
ground is the latest arrival, who has just
emerged from a hole in the ground near
by. lie wears a mulberry-colored robe, and
looks pleased as a fine but rather offleious
lookiug person, who is possessed of a very
smart pair of wings, motions him of tbe
mulberry suit over to the right among the
saved. Cn the left is a great company of
tlie damned. Some are grief-stricken, some
feel badly, and others are apparantly dis
satisfied with the award and would like to
get on the other side of the line, but an
other of those line personages who is sup
plied with an excellent article in the shape
of wings crowds them back with strong
arms. On this winged individual's face is
a regret-that-l'm-not-in-better-business-but
must-obey-orders look that does him credit.
On the extreme left are strong, black aims,
with hands that clutch and drag .the poor
victims into the next picture, which is
“hell.”
The other day I was in a picture gallery
and noticed a couple of priests having a
gleeful time over a picture, pointing out
certain things and laughing. It was an
easel picture. The subject was “The Last
Judgment.’’ They were laughing at what
they fouud on tho “left hand.” They
They seemed quite jolly to discover on
that side priests and Bishops. Some had
already been out to roast, lor many were
seated in great kettles, around which
flames were leaping up. But the picture
would not have attracted my notice hafd
not the priests been so amused.
HOW SODA WATER IS MADE.
What the Beverage Consists of, and
tho Way It Is Concocted.
From the New York Recorder.
With the hot and dusty days of summer
comes delicious soda water to cool the
heated and assuage the thirsty.
When the sun pours Its hot rays unre
lentingly down, and the air is close and
oppressive, tho perspiring denizen finds in
finite enjoyment and re.ief in the sparkling
beverage which trickles and gurgles down
his parched throat and diffuses a sweat,
cool soothing over his sun-tortured anat
omy.
Time and time again he swallows hi3
glass of soda water and departs happy in
its cooling effects, yet it’s Grover Cleve
land to a Tammany democrat, lie never
stops to consider its composition. Hap
pening once to meet a gentlemau connected
with one of the largest soda manufactories
in the world, 1 was prompted to inquire
the ingredieuts of the compositiou and tho
processor its making. With a kindness
which is characteristic of himheorlered
to satisfy my curiosity, and together wo
went into the factory where it receives
creation. The manufacturing of soda
water, unlike the self-made man, begins at
the top instead of at the bottom. We were
therefore oAcipellod to ascend to
the fourth and highest story where
poiriting to a huge tank standing
[u the center of the apartment, my guide
Said: "That is the filter. The water in
its crude londition, asdrawn from the gen
eral supplv, runs into this tub or vat,
where the purifying process begins. From
here it is filtered to the next tank beloyv,
and so on, until it reaches the ground tioor.
The filters being liner in each successive
tank, when the water reaches its last re
ceiver it is absolutely pure.” And this
was true. From a murkiness characteriz
ing the water in the first tank, each one
contained liquid clearer than the other,
until in the last it looked like a solid muss
of untainted crystal, or the fountain home
of some song-praised n.vmph.
"rio much for the water. We will now
have a look at the gas making." said my
friend, but it shall he but a partial one.
The secret of our success lies in this, so,
of course, 1 could not show or tell all.
However, the gas Is eoin|x,sed principally
of magnesite, marble dust and oil of
vitro!. Those large e.vclinders on your
right, of which there are six, are whst
we term gas producers. On one end of

observe a rapidly turning belted wheel.
The wheel turns tho bar. and it in turn
revolves an agitator on the inside of the
cyclinder.’*"
“Pardon me, but what is an agitator?”
“You have seen a propeller on a steam
launch; Well the agitator is its counter
part. To continue, the chemicals are
passed through each cylinder successively,
the embryo gasWeceiving a higher degree
of production as it passes from one to the
other. When it reaches the last it is car
bon gas
“It is in too crude a condition yet for use.
It must be purified. In order to do this it
is passed into three other cylinders, which
you see standing upright on your left. In
those the gas is purified by a pressure of
ISU pounds of water. This little pipe con
nected with the cylinders runs to the
chemist’s office. It tells on an indicator
there the exact condition of the purifying
water. As soon as tbe water becomes pol
luted oy tbe impure matter abstracted
from the gas. it is withdrawn and fresh
water supplied. You can now peroeive
that we make the gas as pure as the
water.
"Notv, then, having the two ingredients,
we will see how soda water itself is made.
Here in this comer we have a double-act
ing pump, on one side of which is pumped
the gas and the other water. Both are
sent to the top floor.”
We climbed again to tbe highest story.
Here were seven cylinders of exactly the
same construction as the gas producer.
“Tho gas ami water are both pumped
into these,” said the soda man, “where, by
means of the agitator, the water is well
charged with gas. Thus, through each are
theu passed the gas, giving greater vigor
and strength to the liquid, until at last it
is sparkling and effervescent. The soda
water is made,
"The filling? of tanks is another blanch
ou which I must remain silent, but suffi
cient to say that b.v our process we fill our
sixty-gallon tanks in six minutes. That’s
pretty quick work.
“So,” said my painstaking friend, after
we drank a glass of soda in the office, "you
see soda water making is not such a dread
fulcomplicatibn. It requires, like every
thing. infinite and unceasing care.”
-How about science? Knowledge of chem
istry is certainly necessary?”
“Gh, yes,” was the answer; “but since
prize fighting has become a science also, we
prefer to make no boast of it.”
A TORTOISE FIGHTS RATS.
One of Parkersburg’s Unique Form of
Sports Will Recommence.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Parkersburg, W. Va„ Sept. 30.—A tor
toise which was a most unique attraction
years ago has returned after nearly three
years absence. It Is about six Inches in
length and almost a perfect ellipse in
shape. A day or two ago the tortoise was
picked up uptown and was identified by a
series of dates—the latest one 1891—carved
Into his shell. The tortoise has proven
one of the greatest local attractions for
the sports.
The tortoise was presented to a local
merchant four or five years ago by some
one who picked him up in the forest.
His new owner set him down in the yard
In the rear of the store and he was for
gotten until one day, a few days after his
arrival, when one of the clerks jpeard a
terrific squealing in the yard, and looking
through the window saw a strange sight.
A big rat had attacked the tortoise and
was biting and scratching at him, but
with all his attempts the rat failed to
make even an indentation in the armor of
his enemy. The unique sight soon at
tracted the clerks and customers until
standing room was at a premium. The
big rat climbed all over the tortoise and
tried all points of vantage, but his sharp
teeth merely slipped from the smooth
shell. While all this was going on the
tortoise lay with feet closely gripped to
the ground, while his head had been
drawn in out of sight. Presently in climb
ing over his antagonist the rat stood with
his hind feet in front of the place where
the tortoise's head ought to have been,
and it was there yet, for in a second the
head and neck shot out and the horny
mandrils closed with a snap on the rat's
hind legs. When the rat felt the grip
it twisted about with a squeak of pain
and rage and tpied its best to get at his
enemy’s head, but the shrewd tortoise
had withdrawn not only its head but the
rat’s hind leg between the upper and un
der shells out of its enemy's reach. Fight
and struggle as it would, the rat failed
to move the tortoise an atom. It then
turned and tried to break loose, but that
was equally as ineffectual for a minute,
when it broke away, but with one leg
as cleanly amputated as If cut with a
knife. The rat bled to death. After this
battle almost every day a similar one
occurred. Sometimes the rats double
teamed on the scaly glp-diator, but the re
sult was always the same—a leg amputa
tion, a tall abbreviated, a disk of hide
and flesh cleanly cleft, or an almost sev
ered neck always ended the battle.
The clerks and young fellows enjoyed
the unique departure in sport, and when
ever a battle was on they filled the win
dows and doors and excitedly made their
bets on points. The tortoise never paid
any attention to the spectators, and the
rats after getting fairly excited paid all
of their attention to their enemy. This
sort of things continued for months until
it appeared as if the rats had caught
on and quit for good, as they entirely
disappeared from that locality. Some
time after the rats ceased to appear, the
tortoise, probably ennuied from lack of
sport and exercise, disappeared, until he
was found a day or two ago.
In a paper on the sense of smell, read
to the Anthopologlsts, who met recently
at Innsbruck, Dr. llerrman of Vienna
presented some interesting facts. Non
carniverous animals have the faculty
most highly developed; man and flesh-eat
ing animals have lost It In a large de
gree. Dwelling in crowded cities and do
mestication are injurious to the sense,
house dogs and pet dogs rapidly losing it.
Press materials vary greatly in their ca
pacity for retaining odors; silk allows
almost all odors to pass through without
leaving any smell behind; linen holds
them fast; wool, though it lets many
smells pass through, retains the odors of
decay, like that of a corpse. While civil
ization has done much to assist defective
sight and hearing, it has done nothing for
smelling.
