Japan na a mechanical instructor, uml
also to supervise the creotion of ma
chinery, somlB to thoNowoastloCliron-

oven contempt. Thoir boast is that
they have accomplished in twonty

is their ourios. Oue-half the popu

is one of tho results of tho China-

A New Idea.
"What is all that newspaper stuff
hanging over your doBk?” a lotterer
nBkod a man who writes for his living.
'That?” the man auswerod, point
ing to long strips of nowspaper clip
pings which were poudant from n gas
chandelier directly ovor tho desk at
which he Hat, “that is my scrap-book.
Yon’vo heard of tho hanging gardons
of Babylon, haven't you? Well, thU
is my hanging sorap-book. Peoplo
generally go on the plan that a scrap
book must bo neatly pasted full of
clippiugB, and thou piled away on a
top shelf of a closet, or in tho bottom
of a trunk whero you novor can get at
it without much timo nud trouble.
Now, my idea of a sernp-book is ono
that yon can kavo whore you want it
and when you want it,so I have pasted
those long strips of blue paper to
gether, over the oross-bar of my old-
fashioned gas chandelier. On these
strips—as I clip short newspaper bits
relative to my work—bitR of prose or
poetry, jest or philosophy, statistics
or otbor information, I stick a little
dnb of library-paste, and up the clip
ping goes. It is convenient, and eas
ily ronowablc; thero is no patent on
it, and the 'hanging scrap-book’ will
be found vnlunblo to all writers who
like things whero thoy can clap their

India’s Scourge of Snakes.
Snnkos aro ono of tho soourgos of
India. Thousands of people dio yearly
from their bite. In the last twenty
two years the numbor of deaths attrib
uted to thU cause has reached tho
euormouB total of 433,281). Snakes
appear to bo a much more deadly
enemy of man than wild nuimnls. In
tho samo poriod wild animals have
only killod (14,284 persons. On an
averngo in India 20,000 people perish
yearly by snakes and wild animals.
Tho numbor of deaths in recent years
has shown a marked increase. In 1875
tho numbor was 21,20(1, in 1890 it bad
risou to 24,335. Bongal is tho most
dangerous province to live in, for tho
Bongaloso sunken nro responsible for
half tho deaths from Bnako bito. Tho
loss of cattle has also boon very great.
Sinoo 1875 about a million and a linlf
animals kavo been destroyed. Wild
animals nro responsible for nino-tonths
of tho cnttlo killed. Iu 1890, for in
stance, 7143 nuimnls died from snakc-
bito, but 81,397 were killed by wild
beasts.—Londou Nows.
WORLD’S WHEAT SUPPLY.
Crookes Saye Science Must Increase It
or Tltere Will lie Starvation.
Sir William Crookes, President of
the British Association, delivered tho
innugural address at the annual con-
gross of that body aPBristol, 1'U re-
viowod tho sources of the present and
possible wkent supply, nnd argued
that by tho most favorable calcula
tion the supply could not keep pneo
with tho world’s needs beyond the
year 1981, but starvation might be
averted through thn laboratory if the
problem of tho fixation of tho supply
of nitrogen; contained in tho atmos-
phoro wns Holvod.
Hu estimated that fixed nitrogen of
tho value of 880,000,000 wns wasted
annually by dumping the sewage of
towns into tho ocean. While tho
store in tho atmosphere was unlim
ited, tho problem was how to utilize
it. If these stores of fixed nitrogen
wero applied to tho soil thoy would
aiso tho average whont crop per acre
from 12.7 to twenty busies, enabling
tho supply to meet the domand,
Sir William was of tho opinion thnt
tho solution of tho problem would be
tho burning of tho nitrogen in the air
by u powerful electric current. Such
n current might bo obtained by utiliz
ing Ningnvn Fnlls, nnd the fixed nitro-
gou thereby produced would cost 835
per ton.
Sir Willinm oonolnded his address
by reasserting with much conviction
his known views on psyohio, espe
cially telepathic phouomona, declaim
ing thnt scientific investigation was
developing moro exact knowledge on
tkeso phenomena, nnd mentioning
among others who wore throwing
light on tho dnrknoss William James,
of the United States.

nt Lake Victoria, ho found tho species

the Inke that several villages had been
deserted owing to its ravages among
the inhabitants. Dr. Baumann be
lieves that Mr. Stanley’s oxpoditiou

it theuco to Tangauyike, wheuco it
spread to tho oast coast of Africa, tak
ing tho town of Bagamoyo by storm

A Sturdy Herd.
On* of the greatest curiosities
among the domesticated animals in
Ceylon is a breed of cattle known to
the zoologists as tho “saored running
oxen.” They aro the dwarfs of the
whole ox family, tho largest specimen
of the species never exceeding thirty
inohes in height. One whiohis living,
and is believed to be about ten years
of age, iB about twenty-two inches
high and weighs but 109J pounds. In
Coylou they are nsod for quick trips
aorosB tho country with express mat
ter and other light loads, and it is
said that four of them oanpnll a driver
of a two-wheeled cart and a 200-pound
load of miscellaneous matter sixty to
sevonty miles a day. They keep up a
constant swinging trot or run, nnd
kavo been known to travel 100 miles
in a day and night without either food
or water. No one knows anything
concerning the origin of this pebuliar
breed of miniature oattle. They havd
boon known on the Island of Ceylon
and in other Buddhistio countries for
more than 1000 years.—Philadelphia

A Queer IlnuUn IJUtrlct.
There is in Russia n district which
i* wholly administered and during
most of tho timo exclusively inhabited
by women. It is the province of
Smolensk, and comprises a district of
about fifteen squaro miles, from which
all the able-bodied males emigrate in
tho spring nnd proceed to neighboring
towns and districts in searoh of work,
remaining away about nine months of
tho year. In thoir absence the wom
en cultivate the fields aud manage
looal affoirs generally under the presi
dency of a woman mayor. Before
nightfnll the women assomblo in a
sort of clubhouse nnd play cards till
one or two iu the morning. Virtno
thero is compatible with unlimited
cakes and ale, nnd though the hours
are late and so much time is given to
amusement, the commune is prosper
ous, disorder is unknown nnd it is one
of the best conducted portions of tho
empire. Tlio Czarina takes on in

A Washington dispatch says: Presi
dent McKinley has cabled the United
States military commission at Porto
liico that the island must be evacu
ated by the Spanish forces on or be
fore October 18th, and that the Span
ish commissioners be so informed.
In case of the failure of the Span
iards to complete the evacuation by
that date, the United States commis
sioners are directed to take possession
nnd exercise all of the functions of
government, and in caso it is fonnd
impossible to secure transportation
for the Spanish troops by October
18tb, they be permitted to go into
temporary quarters until the trans
ports can be secured to take them to
Spain.
The fact was developed at Friday’s
cabinot meeting and it was also stated
thnt from this time forward a more
vigorous policy will I15 pursued with
respect to tho evacuation of Cuba.
The president baH notified the United
States evacuation commission at Ha
vana that the Spaniards would bo ex
pected to hnvo evacuated the island
by December 1st, with n Btrong inti
mation that in case of failure the
United States would brook no further
delay, but immediately thereafter taka
possession of the government.
At the’ meeting two telegrams were
rend from General Otis at Manilla
stnting that tho Spanish government
hnd requested that General Jnrdenns
be permitted to return to Spain, where,
it is understood, he will be palled be
fore a court of inquiry to answer cer
tain charges aflecting his management
of affairs in connection with the sur
render of Mnnilla. General Otis was
authorized to permit the Spnnish gen
eral to leave, together with several
other Spanish officers who are on the
sick list.
In answer to inquiries, it was stated
that nothing so far had been received
from the United States commissioners
thnt was in any way significant or that
indicated that the peace negotiations
wore not progressing satisfactorily.

co-religionist, Cesaro Cnlvi. Ho wns

Legunuo, in Lombardy, nnd, being
hsleep iu his carriage, he dreamed of
n collision iu tho train. Tho fear
made him wake, nud, after opening
the window, ho saw n goods train
coming toward his train, but without
any danger cf meeting. Ho mixed
reality with visiou, and to save him
self from the supposed peril he
jumped down through tho window.
People thought it an attempt nt sui-

A Tombstone Problem.
A man who went away from homo
somo time ago to attend n convention
of ohurcli people was struck with the
beauty of the little town in which the
gathering was held. He had plenty
of time, and whilo wandoring about
walked into the village cemetery. It
was a beautiful place, aud the delegate
walkod around among tho gravos. Ho
saw a monument, one of the largest in
the cemetery, and read with surprise
the inscription on it:
“A Lawyer and an Honest Man.”
Tho delegate scratched his head and
looked at the monument again. Ho
road tho inscription over and over.
Then he walkod all around the monu
ment and examined tho grave closely.
Another in the cemetery ajiproaehod
nnd naked him:
“Haveyou found the grave of an
old friend?”
“No,” said the delegate, “but I was
wondering how thoy came to bury

MILES WAS IGNORED.
Clash Between Secretary Alger and the
General I* Again Evident.
A Washington dispatch states that
the clash between General Miles and
the secretary of wnr is .pgain evident.
From all uppenrauce, it is nothing
more or less than a continuation of tho
efforts of the secretary to ignore the
goncrnl of the army at every turn.
This time it comes over tho ordor to
reform the army corps And apportion
tho troops among the various camps.
Technically, such orders oome from
the office of the general commanding
the army. When they appeared Fri
day the order had that form, and yet
it is disclosed that General Miles waH
not consulted nt all about this, and
the orders wore, in fact, in typo two
days before he saw them. The sco
retary had done the whole thing.
The samo thing is true of the list of
goncrnls honorably discharged. Gen
eral Milos was not consulted about
this. Thn snubbing of Miles in these
mstnnees was so gratuitous that it has
stirred up much criticism of the secre
tary and the clash is on apparently as
fierce ns ever.
