Jolm Clilniuniin Him Clnt-nml-Out According to an Engineer. Joseph Wilson, of Toklo, n New castle engineer, who left his nativo city, NowoaBtle-on-Tyno, to go out to Japan na a mechanical instructor, uml also to supervise the creotion of ma chinery, somlB to thoNowoastloCliron- iole an account descriptive of his im pressions in Japau nml the .Taps. Ho writes: "Will you kindly allow mo a littlo space iu your columns in order to doscribe the various cxpoiionceB and sensations I linvo ouoountorod in this most wonderful country, Japan? I left England with tho best opinion possible of this couutry and its peoplo. Since arriving, however, my oycB have boen opened very wido, indood, tb the nttor laok of courtesy, or con sideration of any Bort, which tlieso people may bo supposed to oxtond to any ono visiting thorn for n fixed period, nud uIbo for their common benetlt. From tho highost to the lowest, thero seems to mo to he tho same supremo oloment of olnnnish in- difleronco, rudeness, nud sometimes oven contempt. Thoir boast is that they have accomplished in twonty yearB, what Europe took 500 to accomplish. Their muoh-vnunted civilization is morel,y wlmt ono boos at the treaty ports. Here in Tokio lifo is just tho same ns it was centuries ago. The only original characteristic is their ourios. Oue-half the popu lation seems to mnko thorn, nud tho other half sella thorn. Then, ngnin, tlioir ogotism is heartrending. ThiR is one of tho results of tho China- Jnpau war. Evou yot, ono finds pioturo books describing how mero handfuls of .Taps put countless num bers of John Chinaman's legions to utter rout. Tho morality of tho coun try is practically iudosoi'ibnblo, aud beat not touched upon. The Tokio newspapers nro a continual sonroe of amusement to ns foreigners. By aud by I hopo to send you somo oxtraets Business acumen is an unknown quantity among the majority of Japan ese merchants. Discipline is null nud void, both in tho army aud navy, I nnd also their mercantile marine. As n peoplo they nro neithor clenn nor yot industrious. They nvo wholly overrated in every particular. For eobrioty, honesty, steadfastness of purpose, industry nud civility, John Chinaman beats them out nud out. They are n nation who wiil eventually cause their own undoing. This pro diction rnuy bo verified sooner or later, but soouor, I think it will be.” 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 eyes on thorn.”—Detroit Free PresH. 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.

In 1SS5 Dr. Ban maun, who is an eminent German ex plorer, corns across tho torment on the Lower Congo aud at Stanley Pool, but it was then unknown on > the upper river. In 1892, on his arrival nt Lake Victoria, ho found tho species in snoh force on tho wost shores of the Inke that several villages had been deserted owing to its ravages among the inhabitants. Dr. Baumann be lieves that Mr. Stanley’s oxpoditiou probably brought the insect into the Victoria region, aud caravans carried it theuco to Tangauyike, wheuco it spread to tho oast coast of Africa, tak ing tho town of Bagamoyo by storm and finally capturing Zanzibar.— Birmingham Tost. Mufilcul tientuft of tlio Poor. It has frequently been noticed that musical gifts, aud especially that of a fine voice, nro moro frequently found among tho cottages of tho poor than among tho rich nud learned classes.

He hnd just been distributing tbo au- mini rewards nt a number of sobools, and hns instituted a "popularity” prize. All tbo boys nro to voto by ballot for tho most popular ono iu the school, and tho lad who heads the list is to have a watch nnd chain.

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 Beoord. 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 terest in it and is proud of it.—Now York Tribuuo. 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.

Ho wns traveling on August 4 from Genoa to 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- oide. Fortunately enough, ho had no sevore injury from tho oxporienoe, aud doctors declared him to be well within a week.—Jewish World. Canon of Arizona.

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 those two fellows iu one grave.”—Tit- Bits. Dentist ami Parson. Clergymen iu poor parishes have to turn their hands to all kinds of work. An English vicar, who noted also as dentist for his parishioners, extracted more than 25,000 teeth during a long ministry. 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. MARCH OF YELLOW JACK.
