The Sma-Haasen tower at Rabat, Af
rica, is a superb structure, and al
though in parts unfinished and dam
aged by lightuing is still lordly and
beautiful. Built of hewn stone
brought from Spain and by the hands
of Christian captives, and 180 feet
from base to summit, it presents on
the outside three tiers of large and ele
gant arches over comparatively small
windows, and above the topmost arch
a deop honey comb of exquisite carv
ing. It has a simple grandeur of pro-
[Kirtion that is peculiarly its own and
very impressive. The ascent of the
tower is made, not by stairs, but by a
series of iucliucd planes, up which a
horse might bo ridden three horses
abreast, as Leo Africanus asserts.
Tho lowest of these inclined planes,
which ore mude of u concrete of lime
and sand, very hard and durable, was
broken away in tho time of the Em
peror 8idi Mahomet, aud by his order,
so that now a ladder has to be used be
fore a footing can be got. As the as
cent is made a number of spacious
stone chambers, chill, solemn and ten-
untlesa, except by owls and bats, are
passed, aud when tho top is reachod a
magnificent view is obtained of the
restless Atlantic. Tho tower is not
merely a stately sentinel of tho groat
mosque, but a lookout station and a
beacon for ships at soa. An idea of its
greatness may be derived from tho di
mensions of the great underground
cistern, which supplied wator for the
lustrations of tho worshipers who fre
quented it, and which can even now
be clearly traced out—Exchange.
A Costly Golden Lnmp.
The interior of the grund cathedral
in the-City of Mexico is, even at tho
present day, after having been success
fully pluudored, most magnificent. It
contains five naves, six altars and
fourteen chapels, which contain the
bones of some of tho viceroys and de
parted great men of Mexico. The
“Glory of the Cupola," virgin and re
vered saints were painted by celebrat
ed artists. A balustrade surrounds the
choir of a metal so rich that an offer
to replace it with one of equal weight
it) solid silver was refused. This
weighs twenty-six tons, and came
from China in the old days of Spanish
dominion, when the richly freighted
galleons of Spain seut their cargoes
overland from Acaputo to Vera Cruz
on tho way to the mother country.
The high altar was formorly tho
richest in the wort <1, and yet retains
much of its originul glory. It con
tained candlesticks of gold so heavy
that a single one was more than a
man could lift, chalices, cruets aud
pyxes of gold incrusted with precious
metal, studded with emeralds, ame
thysts, rubies and sapphires.
The statue of the assumption (now
missing) was of gold, ornamented witli
diamonds, and is said to have cost
$1,000,000. There was u golden lamp,
valued at $70,000, which it cost at one
time $1,000 to clean, but, according to
a French writer—aud the joke is his—•
the liberal troops cleaned it for noth
ing, and it h«a not been seen since.—

Take an ordinary clay pipe, a wad
of absorbent cotton and a piece of
string. Wrup the cotton around the
outside of the bowl and tie it with the
string. Take a piece of bulb rubber
tubing and draw it over the stem so
that you can place the tube in your
mouth and blow through the pipe.
Next weigh out die amount of magne
sium you want for your flash, then
place it in the bowl of the pipe. Take
some alcohol and saturate the absorb
ent cotton. When you have focused
your subject, and decided where to
have your light, ignite the alcohol.
The flame will stand up six inches
oyer the bowl of the pipe. Blow
through the pipe stem and your expos-
ure is tpade.—New York Commercial

While prospecting in the Okefeeno'
kee swamp, Georgia, a man killed an
animal in the swamp of which natural
history gives no account. It resembled
a turtle in some respects, but was four
and one-half feet long and twenty-four
inches across. The back was covered
with a hard, scaly substanoe, some
what like an alligator’s hide, and the
animal had a long, hooked beak.
Danger* of Travel.
If one wants to get a lively sense of
what it means to rush through space at
fifty or sixty miles an hour he must
get on a locomotive. Then only does
ho begin to realize what trifles stand
between him and destbuction. A few
weeks ago a lady sat an hour in the cab
of a locomotive hauling a fast express
train over a mountain road. She saw
the narrow bright line of the rails and
the slender points of the switches. She
hoard the thunder of the bridges, and
saw the track shut in by rocky bluffs
and new perils suddenly revealed us
the engine sws|>t around sharp curves.
The experience was to her magnificent,
but the sense of danger was most ap
palling. To havo made her experi
ence complete she should have taken
one engine ride on a dark and rainy
night.
In a daylight ride on a locomotive
wc come to realize how slender is the
rail aud how fragile its fastenings
compared with the ponderous ma
chines which they carry. Wo sec what
a trilling movement of a switch makes,
the difference between life and dentin
We learn how short tho look ahead
must often bo and how close danger
sits on either hand. But. it is only in
a night ride wo learn how dependent
tho engineer must be, after all, upon
the fuithfu! vigilance of others. The
head light reveals u few yards of glis
tening rail and ghostly telegraph poles
and switch targets. Were a switch
oiion, a rail taken up, or a pi hi of ties
on the track, we could not possibly soo
the danger in time to stop.—U. G.

fixing; Sicaui Twlcf,
W. C. Andrews, of the steam com
pany, told me of a marvelous double
use of steam which his company has
been making. Saul ho: “1 havo long
contended that steam could he used
twice, but tho engineers havo been
against me in opinion. But it is de
monstrated now by practical opera
lions. From our station ut Fifty
eighth street and Madison avenue we
supply steam for 1,100 electric lights
at the Lenox Lyceum. 'This steam is
supplied to tho engines at 130 pounds
pressure, and after it trusses through
the cylinders the exhaust is passed at
a pressuro of sixty pounds into our
street mains, where it serves to run el
evators, heat houses, cook food and
perform such other functions as wo re
quire of it.
“The steam thus docs its work twice
over. The saving is about 00 per cent.,
which is u clear uet gain. Very few
people know, although it is a fact; that
of the steam that goes from a boiler
inUj an engine only about 15, or at
tho siost 20 per cent., is uctuully uti
lized to create power. The other 80 to
85 per cent, is exhaust and goes off
into tho air, whore it is wasted. Now
we have discovered that this waste
product can be mude to serve just us
perfect a jrurjrose as if it were made
fresh in a separate boiler. It moans u
great revolution in the steam busi
ness."—New York Press.

One day, as a Sixth Avenue burber
shop hud but one empty chair, a man
wearing a very big hat and wulking
with u great deal of swagger entered,
hung his hat on a peg, and then draw
ing a revolver ho turned to the idle
man aud said:
“I want a shave— just a common
shuve. I want no talk. Dout ask me
if I want a hair cut or a shampoo.
Don't speak of the weather or politics.
If you 8[)euk tome I’ll shoot."
He took the chair, held tho revolver
across his legs, und was shaved with
promptness und dispatch. When he
got up he returned the shooter to his
hip pocket, put on his hat, aud after
a broad chuckle he suid to the cashier:
“That’s the way to keep a barber
quiet. lie didn’t utter a word.”
"No, sir—he couldn’t.”
" Couldn't!"
“No, sir; he’s deaf and dumb."—
