The recent death of Jobann Strauss at his home in Vienna closed the career of one of the world's greatest and most successful musicians and com­ posers. So long as music will have charms for humanity, the rippling glide of bis "Beautiful Blue Danube" waltzes will quiet the listening soul like the mumurlng waters of the noble river from wheh they derive their name. At the age of 6 years he wrote his first waltz. His mother encouraged him in his musical studies, but his fath­ er, who was a leading musician of the day, used every means to prevent him from becoming a musician, and car­ ried his anger to such, a degree as to entirely separate him from his wife, By the aid of his mother and a few friends he continued his studies, and in 1844, at the age of 19, the Austrian capital had gone wild over him. He was the idol of the hour, and was pro­ claimed "Waltz King Jobann Strauss Second." Johann Strauss was a most prolific wrter. He wrote day or night, when­ ever the fancy took him, and he had a habit of jotting down musical thoughts <)h his cufits and collars. Some of the most popular dance music ever com JOHAVX STRAUSS. posed was thus far recorded. The Strauss dances number nearly 500, and many of them are familiar the world over. In 1872 the waltz king made his first visit to America. In that year he accepted the invitation of Patrick Gilmore to conduct the Boston peace jubilee. During his presence he conducted an orchestra of a thousand musicans. His audiences seemed nev­ er to tire of his music, while the mag­ netism of the man with both audience and orchestra was simply astounding. MAY YOHE'S BIG BLUE DIAMOND She Will Wear the Qreat Hope Gem Worth f150,000. May Yohe, of Chiengo burlesque fame, now the wife of Lord Hope, will wear the famous Hope diamond in a tiara. It is a blue stone, the only one of large size in the world, and is known to all collectors and jewelers. It weighs forty-four and three-quarters carats, is absolutely blue, and is valued at $150,000. Lord Hope, who Is finan­ cially embarrassed, wanted to sell the stone, but was enjoined by the other heirs. The Hope diamond has hitherto been FAMOUS BLUB DIAMOXD. kept in a safe at Parr's bank, London, Lord Hope not caring to take the risk of loss by theft. It is a family posses­ sion and asset, the member wbo bears the title of Lord Hope being only a custodian of the gem. Now that the heirs have seen fit to enjoin its sale. Lord and Lady Hope have determined to utilize the big stone as an ornament, and let the objectors run the chance of its being stolen. It is said that the blue diamond was once a part of the French crown diamonds. It was stolen from its valuable companions and recut. The Hope family bought the prize from Da­ vid Eliason for $18,000, early in the present century. Eliason was a noted diamond dealer of London. A Valuable Cat. .A' The costliest cat in the world is own­ ed by Mrs. Charles Weed, of Bound Brook. N. J. It is a white angora named Napoleon the Great,, and it is valued at $5,000. . Zulus Fear Motbera-in-Law. Among the mysterious customs of the Zulus is the dread which the mar- wito! Mfiauar 6h«ea- ha el the Laat Thirty Yeaic*. Ther« have been more than" one thousand kidnapping cases within the last thirty jean sufficiently notewor­ thy to attract widespread attention, and these must be but a small propor­ tion of the total number. In the great majority of Instances the children were speedily recovered, but the fate of many has remained a mystery op to the present day. While playing with another kid one summer day, near his father's resi­ dence, In Germantown, Pa., Charlie Ross, four years old, was induced to take a drive In a buggy t>y two ap­ parently friendly men. This was July 1, 1874. Since that day tiie lad has never been seen by his friends. The father, Christian Boss, instituted a search with the i^d af the police, which failed to reveal the whereabouts of the child. An advertisement offering a reward elicited a reply from the abductors, who demanded a ransom of $20,000. Mr. Ross did not possess this sum and the negotiations proved fruitless. The city of Philadelphia offefed a reward of $20,000 for the apprehension of the abductors. This set etery detective in th€i United States on the alert. Every clew wag followed. JIany times the boy was reported found, but the re­ ports proved false. The trail was lost until the following December, when two burglars werefatally shot in Bay Ridge, Br6ckljH||jpf hey admitted hav­ ing abducted Ross, but died without diselosiu£*tho child's wherea­ bouts. This was the last information ever received about Charlie Ross. To this day his fate remains a mystery. Mary Tinsdale, fourteen years old, left her home at No. 233 Thompson street, New Y<yk City, on April 12, 1867, to go to school. Near Univer- sitjr place and Eleventh street a well- dressed woman led her away. The child has never been recovered. A notable kidnapping case was In 1871, when James Murphy, five years old, was taken by a woman acquaint­ ance of his family on board the steam­ er Magnolia, at Savannah^ Ga., just before the boat "was to sail for New York. The woman brought the child to New York, where the utmost efforts of the father and the police failed to find a trace of him. Neither child nor abductor was ever discovered. Hannah White in 1853 carried away the two children, a boy and a girl, of her brother, whose home was in Sand­ wich, Canada. Seven years later the boy, Joseph, was found at Bad Axe, Wis., where Hannah White had mar­ ried and settled. The woman refused to tell what she had done with the girl. However, nearly ten years later the girl, ferown to womannood, was found at Liberty Pole, Wis. Connecticut residents have still fresh in their minds the kidnapping of Ward Ferris Waterbury, eight years old, a son of Charles P. Waterbury, of Long Ridge, Conn. This took place February 2, 1892. The lad was seized while on his way home from school. The greatest mystery surrounded the outrage, but three days later the ab­ ductors were captured arkd brought to justice and the boy returned to his friends. To obtain a ransom was the object of the crime. Other notable cases are the kidnap­ ping of Corinne Lewis, at Boston, De­ cember 20, 1869; Teresa Small, In New York, April 29j 1874; NelUe Cresham, on March 20, 1889. From time to time plots for wholesale abduction have been discovered. In 1883 John Ogle- tree was charged with wholesale ab­ duction of boys in Georgia. Again in August, 1897, the abduction of little James Conway, at Albany, brought to light the operations of a gang of kid­ nappers. . One remarkable kidnapping case was that of Gerald Lapiner, two years old, who was taken away from in front of the home of his parents in Chicago by an old woman, who took a sudden fancy to the child. The parents spent thousands of dollars in search for the babe, but could find no trace whatever of It. A year after the kidnapping a young woman in n small Pennsylvania town told the Chicago police that she believed the Lapiner child was in the possession of an old couple who lived near her home. The mother went to the place, and recognized and recover­ ed her child. Admlniaterfng Jnatice lit Egypt, Sir John Scott, lately judicial ad­ viser to the Khedive, in an address which he delivered in London the other day, gave an interesting account of the revolution which has been ef­ fected, under British occupancy, in the administration of Egyptian law courts. When, in 1890, he undertook the job of reforming existing abuses the Judges were ignorant, servile and venal, mere political parasites, and law and justice were equally disre­ garded. -Of the Appellate Judges at Cairo, one had been a station-master, another the doorkeeper of a Prime Minister. With such Judges, and a hopelessly corrupt and blackmailing police, there was small hope for any prisoner who had neither money ifor influence. When, however, Sir John retired in 1898, a wonderful change had been wrought by his efforts, backed by the sturdy support of Lord Cromer. The notoriously incompetent Judges have been deposed, and no man can now get on the bench without a legal diploma. The law, both civil and criminal, is enforced with vigor and impartiality, and even the Pashas are made to feel the authority of the courts which they formerly regarded merely as convenient agencies of the enforcement of their own nefarious schemes. A cousin of the Khedive, who shot at another prince, now wears a convict uniform, and the son of the richest man in all Egypt is also in penal servitude for robbery. Another, Egyptian magnate has just been sent to jail for forgery, to his intense aston­ ishment and disgust--New York Post. after :tl& fform" "The next morning X *t» by a heavy crash from room, and wttfM 1 wa* what the trouble was tlrai crash against my bedroom doof the voice of Mary said: " 'There's yonr blessed old clock, an' its meself that'l no stay in a place where a poor iuSm working gurl's life is in danger!* ;*'<f "I arose at ogee apd inrosflfiKii, It seems that the bed in HES ̂ room was an old one and not stout, and when the alarm soiiiilM:jii§': ^ eook awoke with a jump that shook fb* * lied to pieces and threvr her out mi -t&t' floor.

A consulting electrical englnee'r, wfc* teas asked to put one of the less Ami* mon electrical terms in plain language* said, according to the St. Louis Glob* Democrat: "I am frequently resorted to for just such explanations, and nothing surprises me more than the haziness which still exists In the minds of even Intelligent folks in regard t» ' the simplest electrical terms. To most people the electrical units are all mora ' ^ Greek, and comparatively few go to Sj! the trouble to take hold of the iScd " common of them, such as 'volt,' pere,' 'resistance,' 'electro-moCtr# force,' etc., and fix their meaningtfMfe for all In the mind. A man who koo*# -r me only by reputation, wrote t- "mm the other day that he had done thin r-g with great satisfaction to himself, as he lias now a far more intelligent idea t /j of electrical doings than he had b»- ' fore. ' j "But still, he said, from time to time some electrical words would creep into " ^ ̂ the daily press which conveyed notfcv. Ing to him. He mentioned as oo« o* them the term 'w$tt hour.'

Having got so far; it is an easy grada­ tion to the 'watt hour,' which is th* term employed to indicate the expeai . dlture of an elie£trical power of ona „ watt for one hour. In other words, the energy represented by a watt hoar < Is equal to that expend ?t: in raising »: #; pound to a height of 2,654 feet. Aji^ even easier way of fixing it is to r»-, •' member that two watt hours corr^'f spond almost exactly to raising j*. pound to a height of one mile. "The understanding of such terms opens out some very curious facts the uninitiated. For Instance, a cer» , taip dry battery weighing 6.33 pounds was known to yield 130 watt hours. * If this force were applied to raising • the battery itself It would lift It to ft height of over ten miles. Again, in oat hour the energy translated In an dinary slxteen-candle power lamp weighing about an ounce would raia* ; that lamp to a height of 400 miles, at a velocity of nearly seven miles a ml»-, ate.
