QUEER AUTOMATONS.
examples from the days of
DtEDALUS to the present.
A Wooden Venue That Walked and a
Brasen Man That Talked —A Wonderful
Mechanical Duck—The Greatest of All
the Fraudulent Automatons.
There are few things more attractive
to the generality of men or more calcu
lated to excite their wonder and admira
tion than a dexterously and mysteriously
contrived automaton. There is, indeed,
something Almost udcanny in the sight
of a figure made by men’s hands acting
like a creature of flesh and blood, and
this uncanniness is one of the most sub
tle of fascinations. Hence the silver of
the curious readily finds its way into
the pockets of men ingenious enough to
invent such marvels.
This passion for the automaton is cer
tainly no new thing. One meets it in
almost the earliest books, sometimes
veiled in myth, sometimes more direct
ly stated. Vulcan, it will be remem-
* bored, made automatic tripods for the
gods of Olympus stools which ad
vanced of their own accord to the ban
queting table and so retired when the
feast was over.
Aristotle tells "us that the human au
tomata which Daedalus made were so
active 'that it was necessary to keep
them tethered for fear they would run
away. The sime philosopher describes
a wooden Venus who walked about and
gives also the secret of the phenomenon.
She was filled with quicksilver—a some
what crude device. Albertus Magnus is
credited with having made a brazen
man who talked and St. Thomas Aqui
nas with having pounded it to pieces
with a club, suspecting it to be a work
of satan. Some marvelous feats'of
mechanism are credited to John Muller,
otherwise known as Regiomontanus,
who flourished in the fifteenth century,
and in dealing with him we perhaps
touOh firmer ground. One was an iron
fly which flew around a table, another
a wooden eagle which went out to meet
Emperor Maximilian on his entry of
Nuremberg on June 7, 1470, and re
turned with him to the city gates.
Whether due or not to the stimulus
given by Louis XIV, the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries were in France
• times of great automatic activity. In
deed, the first named century marks the
beginning of the really historical era of
.automata. In the eighteenth century
lived Mr. Vaucanson, perhaps the most
wonderful of all makers of automata
and the creator of the famous duck
which first appearerfbefore the public
in 1741. The duck was Vaucanson’s
masterpiece and completed a reputation
already made wide by his mechanical
flute player and an automatic musician
which not only blew upon the flageolet,
but also kept time to it on a tambourine.
The bird was of life size, and not only
was it outwardly an exact imitation to
a feather of a real duck, but its internal
anatomy was absolutely true to life. So,
indeed, were its movements, for it
swam, dived, walked, quacked, ate,
drank and by an ingenious device even
seemed to digest its food.
This automaton disappeared after its
inventor’s death, but turned up again
in 1840 in a garret in Berlin and was
purchased by a George Tiets, who took
four years to put it in proper working
order again. At the end of this time it
was exhibited in a room in the Palais
Royal, Paris, where Mr. Houdin, the
celebrated conjuror, saw it, and, indeed,
afterward, when something happened
to one of its wings, took charge of and
repaired it. No doubt it* is still in ex
istence. Os more modern automata this
is scarcely the place to speak, for they
are private secrets. Let us confine our
selves to merely mentioning Mr. Mas
kelyne’s “Psycho” and "Zoo.”
Like most things, automata have not
always been what they seemed. Os
many frauds upon the wonder loving
public perhaps the completest was that
of the famous automatic chess player of
Mr. Kempelen, which was exhibited
all over Europe at the end of the last
century and afterward in America. It
was the figure of a life sized Turk seat
ed behind a large box, the top of which
was marked in the middle for chess.
Prior to the automaton’s meeting an
opponent the front of the box was open
ed and skeptical lookers on were shown
an arrangement of strings, pulleys and
cylinders. After this they were allowed
to examine the interior of the figure,
which was hollow. Then Mr. Kempe
len wound up his Turk with a key, and
it was ready to play, which it did by
moving the pieces with its Jes t hand
and giving three nods for check to king
and two for check to queen. All the
noted chess players of Europe succumb
ed to the figure’s superior strategy, and
its skill so impressed the Empress Cath
erine II of ( Russia that she wished to
buy it and was with difficulty persuad
ed by Mr. Kempelen to give up the idea.
It was not for years that the secret was
discovered; but, like most secrets, it
• leaked out at last. The real chess play
er was a Mr. Wronsky, a Polish ex-cap
tain, both of whose legs had been am
putated at the trunk in consequence of
a wound from a cannon ball. While the
spectators were examining the box
Wronsky was in the Turk’s body, and
when they turned to inspect that an in
genious mechanism slid him back into
the box. To the fact that Wronsky was
a chess player of consummate skill the
wide fame of the automaton, which he
secretly controlled, is to be attributed.
After this disclosure Mr. Kempelen’s
automaton naturally enough ceased to
move mankind to wonder.—New York

Strict Sunday Laws,
Swinemunde on the Baltic has strict
Sunday laws. Shipmasters who enter
the port are fined heavily by the town
authorities if they have their ships
washed or painted on Sunday or church

JAPAN’S WOMEN.
Thay Have Been OrganlslnK *• Seowre
Their Kights.
“The Japanese ladies are really organis
ing at last. They are beginning a strong
m ivement to amend the Japanese laws so
tbat a Japanese gentleman that supports
another woman besides his legal wife can
be arrested. The laws are now one sided
*-yes, very much one sided. The Japanese
husband can have as many oatside wives
as he pleases; not regular wives, you un
derstand. Japan law lets the husband
marry only one wife. Otherwise he is
guilty of bigamy, same as here.’’
Thia announcement of woman’s inde
pendence in the land of silent wives and
maidens ‘ that won’t be kissed came
recently at the Hotel Ryan from S.
Kiehl, a young attorney, of Tokyo. Mr.
Klshl having practiced some time in his
own city, resolved to venture forth into
western lands to see hbw it was possible
for lawyers to make an honest living in
Europe and America. The study of this
intricate problem detained Mr. Kishi six
weeks in San Francisco, three months in
Milwaukee and some weeks in Chicago.
He has now arrived in St. Paul, where he
will enter the law department of the Great
Northern railroad and remain several
months. Eventually he will proceed to
Europa
“Formerly,” continued the smiling,
white toothed law pilgrim, “that is to say,
up to 25 years ago, a Japanese gentleman
could have as many informal wives as he
wished. He was rather proud of them and
showed them in public. Now.sentiment
has so changed that he keeps them hid
away. He would be thought very immoral
to exhibit them in public. Yet he cannot
be punished by law, but this exception in
favor of the men is likely to be done away
with. There is a commission now revising
our civil code. That code is based upon
the Code Napoleon, not on the English
common law. Our commercial code, how
ever, is modeled after the commercial code
of Germany.
“But it is natural for woman to want
less than man in Japan. We consider that
she is equal to man in quality, but not in
quantity. That is the way we express it.
And she is always by nature different.
Man is strong, rough, brave. Woman
is weak, gentle, gracious, timid. She
must attend to her home. Man must go
out into business, into government, into
war. We do not mix occupations as you
do here. For example, the men ride bi
cycles In Japan very much more now than
before, but the women —never. A woman
astride of a bicycle I It would be too rude,
too bold. She should be at home, not
showing herself upon the streets.
“Her costume? Oh, it Is almost always
Japanese. Years ago, perhaps ten years,
one of our cabinets thought they would
help. Japan abroad by persuading our peo
ple to dress like Europeans. Even the
court ladies began to wear foreign dresses.
But the cabinet went down. The women
took back their native costumes. Now a
Japanese lady most always wears her an
cient costume. We find that your dresses
are not convenient, as our women sit
about on the floors of our little houses.
But the Japanese men are using the Euro
pean clothes very generally in our cities—
that is, for business in government offices
and in the professions. But when the
men get home they take off these clothes
and put on the good old Japanese robes.
Then we are comfortable.”—Sb. Paul Pio

“Arranging” a Landscape.
The composition of a landscape photo
graph requires as much care as any other
picture, though beginners in photography
visually think that a landscape, being com
posed of stationary objects, cannot be “ar
ranged” in any special way. This is true,
but if the landscape cannot be moved the
camera can, and by shifting it a.little to
the right or left an artistic picture may be
made of what would be a most uninter
esting scene if the point of view were not
well chosen.
In a general landscape view the camera
should be adjusted so that the horizon line
will be about a third of the way from the
top or bottom of the picture. If the hori
zon line is nearer the bottom than the tdp,
there should be plenty of clouds in the sky
to give variety to the picture. In case
there are no clouds in the sky they can be
printed into the picture from a cloud neg
ative.
The line of the horizon should never
run straight across the picture, but must
be broken up as much as possible by ob
jects which rise above it.
According to artists’ laws, the lines of
a picture should either run diagonally or
be arranged in a pyramidal form.
If the lines run diagonally the tallest
objects should be at one side of the pic
ture, and if they are to bo in pyramidal
form have the tallest point a little to one
side of the center of the picture. By mov
ing the camera a few feet either way this
effect is easily obtained.
A picture should never be divided in the
center by any prominent object, like a
tree, a house, etc. Pictures, of this kind
are very trying to look at, giving the effect
of two pictures on one card.—Harper’s
Round" Table.
Hopeless.
A Mr. X. wished to have a telephone
put in his house, but his aged mother vig
orously protested against it. “Robert,”
she said, “if you bring one of those dread
ful things in here I’ll never close my eyes
for fear it may break out and sweep us all
into eternity, and us not a bit the wiser.”
Mr. X? tried to persuade her tbat it was
a most harmless instrument, but she said:
“No, no. Look at the thousands—aye,
millions—of poor Hindoos it killed last
autumn." “Why,” exclaimed he, “tbat
wasn’t a telephone, mother! That was a
typhoon.” But the timid old lady lowered
her spectacles, and, looking at him over
the rims thereof, said: “You need not try
to make a fool of mo, Robert. I perhaps
don’t know very much, but I do know
that the typhoon is the emperor of Japan.”
Mr. X. gave it up as a hopeless case. —

Story of Lee’s Surrender.
When Hamlin Garland was gathering
material for the life of Grant, he spent a
day or two in Atlanta, where he met an
old Virginia negro who said that he had
witnessed Lee’s surrender. Garland was
interested and questioned him closely.
“You say you were present when Lee
surrendered?”
“Dat I wuz, suh!"
“Did you see Lee give up his sword?”
“No, sub, I didn’t! Gin’rul Lee give
up he sword?* Not him! Dey tried ter
take it sum him, but he made a pass at
cne er two of dem, en dey lef’ off—l tell
you!”
“And where was Grant all that time?”
“Oh, he wuz right dar, suh! En he
tol’ ’em, he did: ‘Well, boys, let him keep
do weepon. He can’t do much damage,
kase he done whipped anyhow.' ’’—At

A VIRTUE OF OLIVE OIL.
Man-of-war', Men Say That It Will Pre
vent Intoxleation.
The glasses were going round when
the man who had been it the navy
spoke: “Wait a minute, b< ys. We’ve
had several. Let me give you a tip that
I learned when I was on the China sta
tion. You are pretty good drinkers, you
Kentucky boys, and* you can bold your
own with anybody, east, west or north,
who tries to put you under the table.
But unless you cany out my plan don’t
you ever stack yourself up against an
Englishman, and especially an army or
a naval officer. You could knock him
out on whisky, but he doesn’t drink
it, except in the shape of smoky Scotch
and Irish abominations. But cham
pagne, burgundy, claret, ale, sherry,
madeira, port, pulque in Mexico, saki
in China, palm liquor in Africa, bam
boos and shandygaff in India, steer clear
of them—that is, unless you have the
good luck to meet a certain little, yel
low faced, wizened creole from Louisi
ana whose recipe is passed around the
mess table cf United States men-of-war
to this day.
“It started in the old days when the
British officers always had the pleasure
of outstaying their American guests or
hosts whenever two ships met on for
eign stations. Then that little yellow
devil came along with his trick, and
the Englishman has never since come
out better than second in any drinking
bout. The secret? Olive oil. One wine
glassful before the fun begins, and, if
possible, another later on, rnd you can
keep your wit and legs throughout the
dampest evening. I suppose one of two
things happens. Either the oil coats the
stomach and keeps the alcohol from be
ing absorbed by the system, or else it
floats on top and keeps the fumes from
rising to the brain. But you’ll have to
ask the medicine men about that. All I
know is its practical result, and that
has enabled Yankee Doodles to go
home cheerful and clear headed many
an evening when our foreign cousins
were speechless. ’ ’ —Louisville Courier-

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD.
t
Purchaser* Found For Them Nowadays
Throughout the World.
American tools are sold all over the
world. The New York representative of
an American tool manufacturing estab
lishment when asked where American <
tools were sent ran over the export or
ders received that day. They included
orders from Hungary, Austria, Ger
many, France, England, South Africa
and South America. There were alto
gether about 20 orders, and from some
of the countries named there were two
or three orders. The export orders of
the previous day included orders from
Russia, Australia and New • Zealand,
and these were not unusual orders, but
such as are constantly received. ,In the
shipping room at that moment stood
cases marked for Java, for Ecuador and
for Australia.
Many of these orders are small. In
some cases there were orders for a single
tool, or for two or three; for some orders
of half a dozen or two or three dozen to
supply orders or to keep lines filled.
These small orders are mostly from Eu
ropean countries, with which commu
nication is nowadays quick and conven
ient. European merchants order these
things just about as merchants in other
cities in this country would. It costs no
more to send to London than it does to
Chicago, and it is as easy to send to
Berlin as it is to Paterson.
The characteristics that commend
these American tools to their foreign
purchasers are the same that mark
American machines and implements
generally—lightness, fine finish and
perfect adaptability to their several
uses. The exports of American tools to
all parts of the world are steadily in
creasing.—New York Sun.
Bad Story Telling.
If Oscar Wilde’s assumption were to
bo taken seriously, that all fiction is ly
ing, it might account for much that
afflicts readers, since the lack of morale
affects the intellect, and what is done
without conscience is apt to be done
badly. Os course all fiction is not lying,
as all killing is not murder, but it is a
sad fact that many writers of novels
and short stories seem to have left their
consciences and much of their brains
behind when they go forth to work—as
if these belongings might safely remain
in seclusion, with the dress coat and
the white tie, to be brought out only
for especial occasions. Artemus Ward
once remarked that he had a giant mind,
but did not have it with him, and that
(or the latter half of it) is apt to be the
case with any of us when we are care
less. True, even good Homer sometimes
nodded, but this affords no example for
us who are not Homers. To come to our
tasks otherwise than with all our wits
about us and invite public attention to
the chance “oozings of our brains” is
as if one should issue from his apart
ments unshorn and half clad or enter
upon the busy haunts of men without
money in his pocket. —Frederic M. Bird
in Lippincott’s.
Leather and Kerosene.
There is one use of kerosene which it
seldom mentioned. It often happens
that when a heavy shoe or boot has been
wet it hardens and draws so that 'it
hurts the foot. If the shoe is put on
and the leather thoroughly wet with
kerosene, the stiffness will disappear
and the leather become pliable, adapt
ing itself to the foot. If oiled while
wet, the leather retains its softness e
longer time. The kerosene does not in
jure the leather at all.
At the beginning of this century a
most peculiar cholera remedy was in
use in Persia. It consisted in wadding

THACKERAY AND GOETHE. ’
Th* NowaUat** First Interview With tb»
Great Poet.
In The Century there is an article by
Walter Vulpius, entitled “Thackeray at
Wehnar.” The following is Thackeray ’■
account qf his first meeting with
Goethe:
Os course I remember very well the
perturbation of spirit with which as a
lad of 19 I received tbo long expected
invitation tbat the Herr Gehcimerath
would see me. This notable audienoe
took place in a little antechamber of
his private apartments, covered all
round with antique casts and bas-reliefs.
He was habited in a long gray drab red
ingote, with a white neckcloth and a
red ribbon in his buttonhole. Ho kept
hia hands behind his back, just as in
Rauch’s statuette. His complexion was
very bright, clear and rosy, his eyes ex
traordinarily dark, piercing and bril
liant. • • • I fancied Goethe must have
been still more handsome as an old man
than even in the days of his youth. His
voice was very rich and sweet. He ask
ed me questions about myself, which I
answered as best I could.
Vidi tantum —I saw him but three
times—once walking in the garden of
Ms house in the Frauen plan, xmee going
to step into his chariot on a sunshiny
day, wearing a cap and a cloak with
a red collar. He was caressing at the
time a beautiful little golden haired
granddaughter, over whose sweet, fair
face the earth has long since closed.
[Alma von Goethe died at the age of 17
years while on a visit in Vienna in
1844.]
Though his sun was setting, the sky
round about was calm and bright, and
that little Weimar was illumined by it
In every one of those kind salons the talk
was still of art and letters. At the court
the conversation was exceedingly friend
ly, simple and polished. The grand
duchess, a lady of very remarkable en
dowments, would kindly borrow our
books from us and graciously talk to
us young men about our literary tastes
and pursuits. In the respect paid by
this court to the patriarch of letters
there was something ennobling, I think,
alike to the subject and sovereign.
AN OCEAN VOYAGE.
The Proper Fee* to Pay on Board an
Atlantic Liner.
Fees are too indefinite to bo regulated
by rule, but certain amounts are cus
tomary at sea. The voyager, if he is
not seasick, is dependent for comfort
first on the table steward. To this man
it seems to be the rule to give $2.50 for
one, or $5 for two or three persons in ♦
party, whether one is served in regular
courses or orders what he pleases from
the bilk Late suppers might increase
the fee.
One’s next best friend is the deck
steward, if he is attentive and has fol
lowed out suggestions about the steam
er chair and rugs. Sometimes one can
eat on deck when it is fatal to go below,
and then, if the deck steward is oblig
ing, he deserves the larger part of what
would go to the table steward in reg
ular course. If the weather is at all
fair, it is most agreeable to find one’s
chair well placed and the rugs dry ev
ery morning, especially if one is in
clined to seasickness. Moreover, this
steward is the one. who continuously
brings sandwiches and broth on deck,
and, as he is obliged himself to fee the
cook’s assistant to get these articles pre
pared, it is clear that he should be well
remembered at parting, if any one is.
On many lines his pay, like that of
most of the stewards, is npt higher than
sl2 a month, and the company, on gen
eral principles, keeps back one-third to
pay for breakage. Another third goes to
the cooks in fees. Where, therefore,
would he be without tips?—Lewis Mor
ris Iddings in Scribner’s.
The Scotchwoman's Bank Note*.
A poor old widow living in the Scot
tish highlands was called upon one dajt
by a gentleman who had heard that she
was in need. The old lady complained
of her condition and remarked that her
son was in Australia and doing well.
“But does he do nothing to help you?”
inquired the visitor. ‘ ‘No,nothing, '■ ’ was
the reply. “He writes me regularly
once a month, but only sends me a lit
tle picture with his letter. ” The gentle
man asked to see on© of the pictures
that she had received and found each
one of them to be a draft for £lO.
That is the condition of many of
God’s children. He has given us many
“exceeding great and precious prom
ises” which we either are ignorant of
or fail to appropriate. Many of them
seem to be pretty pictures of an ideal
peace and rest, but are not appropriated
as practical helps in daily life. And not
one of these promises is more neglected
than the assurance of salvation. An
open Bible places them within reach of
all, and we may appropriate the bless
ing which such a knowledge brings.—

Journal.
