Following is a special from
New York to the St. Louis Re-
public :
New York, Dec. 9.—H. C.
Pieroe of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company sent a telegram to Sen-
ator Joseph Vt. Bailey in which
he said:

mael. It Is true, who ie more than con- j 000 a year and

man in my personal affairs and
paid by me a salary of $1,600 a
year in addition to his other sal-
asarcatlon between himself and the
traa cockney. But, nevertheless, In a
modified, twentieth century way, he Is
stUl the wild man whose hand. Is
against every man's and every man’s
against his. He Is probably the last
remnant of the world’B old race of wan-
derere—the last suggestion of the
primitive man—left to the cities. He
la to us town dwellers what the gypsy
la to the countryside. His descent
saems to spring from the same roving
stock. And he Is regarded, from a safe
distance, with the same contempt by
those who (don’t know him. His habits
and hia impulses still savor strongly
of the days when tribe warred against
tribe, and every man’s arm was for
himself and bis clan. And although
hia pitch la below the curb, his caravan
a barrow, and his beast of burden a
Russian pony, a donkey, or himself,
he is aa free and as exclusive as any
other lusty scion of the people who live
under the skies. Ishmael he Is, and
lehmael he chooses to remain. And the
chances are ten to one that whoever
goes a-flshlng for Information among
the barrows will come back with an
empty Creel or a fins show of fisher-
man's tales. For your coster knows
they would only get busy •
Th^ information that is being
sent out that there is a scarcity
of $5.00 bills, is nothing “new to
us. We have been knowing that
for some time and the longer we
stay in the newspaper business
the more we realize it.

Wbau Wagner was at the height of
his insularity he visited Vicuna. Bar-
Ueuxt, then chancellor of the
eim»ire, was Informed that the ITua
alau party Intended to give him an Im-
mense sereuade-a serenade which
would have the air of Herman protest
against the tendency of the ministry to
muke the union of Hungary and Aus-
tria more Intimate. The demonstration
promised to arouse strong feeling.
“Your excellency is warned,” said
the chancellor’s advisers. "It Is Impos-
sible to stop this manifestation unless
Wagner goes away, and he loves ova-
tions too well. Nothing will Induce him
to depart."
"You think so.” said Beust, with a
gxuile.
An hour later Wuguer was invited to
dlue with the chancellor. He was flat-
tered by the Invitation and accepted It.
After dinner, at which Beust was de-
lightfully affable aud entertaining, the
chancellor remarked: "Herr Wagner,
you Interested in autographs?
have some very curious ones to show
you.” And be oi>ened a portfolio where
were letters of Palmerston, Bismarck,
Napoleon III., Heine and others.
Suddenly turning to s paper, dated
1848, he said: "Ah, look at this. It Is
very curious. What would your friend
his hlgbueas tbe king of Bavaria say If
this paper, which would be significant
in connection jyltb the political sere-
nade which the Germans are going to
give you, should be publlehed tomor-
row In the Vienna papers?”
Tbe composer examined the paper
and recoguiied, with surprise, an old
proclamation of one Richard Wagner,
who, an ardent revolutionist In 1848,
bad proposed to the youth of that time
to set Are to the palace of the king of
Saxony. He saw his autograph and
that It might be the means of getting
him Into serious trouble.
“Very curious, Is It not, Herr Wag
ner?” said the minister.
"Very curious, your excellency,” re-
plied his guest.
The next morning Richard Wagner
left Vienna, recalled to Baireuth by
urgent business.—Strand Magazine.

tor of th* lui'i Heat.
“The sun's heat Js to great”—
But an intelligent young woman In-
terrupted the scientist Impatiently.
"After all.” she said. "It is guesswork,
this talk about the excessive heat of
the sun. You can't prove any of your
claims.”
He was disgusted
“I can’t?" be cried. "Why, It Is the
easiest thing In tbe world to prove that
the aun is hot enough to melt Iron,
granite, the hardest substance* known,
Into liquid. Into steam ”
"How would you make such a proof?”
she asked incredulously.
"With tbe burning glass," said be.
“A burning glass is sllgbtly rounded.
Thus It bends Into a focus—It concen-
trates upon one small [<olut—a number
of sun rays. The tiniest burning glass,
catching only a few rays, will light a
fire, set off u gun or bore a red hole In
your hand.”
"Ye*."
“The solar heat which tbe burning
glass collects* for us Is the tiniest frac-
tion of the sun's actual heat. We can
prove this by focusing with our glass
rays from a powerful lamp or a great
I fire. We get avtnall. bright spot. a. llt-
! tie heat, but this heat Is nothing to

"So. knowing, now. that tbe solar

A slnipilar way of removing oxygen
from the air by the aid of a plant Is
as follows: Inside a glass bell Jar, sus-
pended over water. Is placed a mush-
room, and sunlight Is allowed to fall
upon the plant. The mushroom ab-
sorbs the oxygen from the air In the
Jar, and the carbonic acid formed dur-
ing tbe process Is absorbed by the wa-
ter, which gradually rises In the Jar
to one-fifth of Its height. The mush-
room now dries up, but its animation
la only suspended, as may be proved
by Introducing lieslde It a green plant,
whin It will recommence* to vegetate,
being nourished by the oxygen exhaled
