It la usual of oourae for the recipient at
such a dignity to bo made acquainted with
his good fortune before any official com
munication Is made to the press, and
therefore the explanation alluded to would
• be in Itself not only plausible, butoonvino-
There Is a rumor, however, that the
breakdown of the telegraph wires does not
furnish the whole explanation of the Inci
dent, and that the question of conferring
a peerage upon Sir Herbert Kitchener be
came a matter of serious debate between
Lord Salisbury and the war office. Prob
ably with accuracy the sirdar is describ
ed as the “most popular man in the em
pire,” but It is nevertheless well known
In mllitaxy circles that his rapid advance
in the army has caused serious heartburn
ing, and it is feared that his elevation to
the peerage, by which he would practical
ly attain the status enjoyed by the oom
mandar tn chief and Lord Roberts, would
Intensify the feeling.
But the press and the public have had
their way, and incidentally, too, the honor
conferred upon the sirdar has advertised
to the world the importance which the
British government attaches to his work
afld Its results.—London Cor. Leeds Mer
cury.
Queer Story of Two Lakes.
The Wetternscein Sweden, like so many
other lakes, has long enjoyed the local
reputation of being a bottomless pit. The
Swedish scientists have now destroyed the
venerable legend, for In the measurements
taken a few days ago they have success
fully demonstrated that the greatest depth
of the lake is only 119 meters. There still
remains, however, a series of mysteries
which science must bo content to leave
unsolved—at least for a time. It is not
only a legendary belief, but there is a
quasi scientific ground for the queer sup
position, that living creatures, animaland
vegetalbe, can and do make journeys to
-and fro between the high northern lake of
Wettern and the south German lake of
Constance.
This bold conclusion has been partly jus
tified by the appearance of exactly the
same fauna, and even of the same animal
life, In the Swedish and the Swabian in
land seas. It is even asserted that when
ever there is a storm on the lake of Con
stance the lake of Wettern begins sympa
thetically to roll and swell, and that the
southern lake is similarly moved by any
agitation in the distant northern lake.
The Kleine Zeltung soberly declares thia
sympathetic phenomenon to be a known
fact, but considerately adds that we will
have to wait some time for the rational
explanation of it.—London News.
Some Surprising Chimneys.
What next will America provide for usf
The latest importation from the new
world is factory chimneys practically real
ly made! The Dublin Tramways com
pany have put up two of them on their
new premises adjoining the Ringsend
basin, where they are erecting new and
extensive power bouses for their electrio
system. Tho chimneys, which are made
of iron throughout, are sent across the
Atlantic in circular sections, which fit one
on another and are riveted together, a
platform, on which la a working forge,
traveling upward as the work progresses.
The time occupied in the erection of one
of these chimneys is of course as nothing
compared to the building of a brick struc
ture, and when finished it has a much
lighter and more graceful appearance. The
chimneys rest on a solid square base of
stone and brickwork, some IS feet high,
and are slightly bell shaped at the bot
tom. An iron ladder for cleaning and
painting purposes travels from the stone
platform to the top. The chimneys at
Ringsend are of very great height, much
higher than any similar structures in or
about Dublin. The power house of the
Cork Electrio Tramway company is fitted
in a similar manner.—Dublin Independ
ent.
Russia’s Poor.
Statistics just published show that in
Russia only 847,268 families out of a pop
ulation of about 180,000,000 souls have an
income of over 4100 a year, or that prac
tically more than 99 per cent of the whole
population are constantly in a state of ab
ject poverty and pauperism in their vari
ous degrees.
The figures become appalling when one
considers tho case of the peasantry, which
forqjis the overwhelming majority of the
population. The average yearly income
of a peasant family consisting of six mem
bers ranges from £l2 to £l6 a year, out of
which between £6 and £7 has to bo paid
to the government in direct taxes.—Lon
don Mail. .
An Improvement.*
“What can you offer my daughter that
equals or excels what she has now?” de
manded the old man.
“Well,” replied the young man after a
minute or two of thought, “I think the
name of Martindale is an improvement
upon that of Skraggs.”
Those who heard of it afterward decided
it was a clincher. Anyway, he got the
girl.—Chicago Post.
A Devonshire Curiosity.
One of the curiosities at Chatsworth, the
Duke of Devonshire's place, is a weeping
willow made of copper and so dexterously
fashioned that at a distance it resembles
a real tree. It is actually a shower bath,
for by pressing a secret tap a tiny spray of
water can be made to burst from evay
branch and twig of the tree, to the dis
comfort of any who may be under it.
Searchlights In Balloons.
Russia is experimenting with giant
searchlights mounted in balloons and con
taining electric burners connected with
dynamos upon the ground. The largest
of these yet reported is of 5,000 candle
power. At a distance of only 600 yards
above the earth it will illuminate a cir
cular area 500 yards in diameter to the
brightness of the day.
Wrought Bad Caat.
“Tell me,” said the teacher, “what is'
the difference between wrought iron and
east irony” "
“Well,” replied Will, smiling, “the shoe
worn by a horse is a wrought iron shoe,
but when the horse loses the shoe from his
foot it becomes a cast iron shoe.”—Lon

EXPERT TOBACGP TESTING.
Cuban Buyers and Their Hisrhly De
veloped Sense of Smell.
The greater part—in fact, nearly all
—of the tobacco raised in Cuba and not
used by the Cuban cigar makers is
shipped to the United States. At certain
seasons of the year the Havana hotels
are filled with tobacco buyers from the
United States. Some of them deal
through the brokers in Havana, but
some who know the country and the
language go out into the tobaoco dis
trict and deal directly with the plant
ers, often buying a promising crop be
fore it is picked. The tobacco buyer has
necessarily to be a good judge of tobac
co. He goes down into the very center
of the bale of tobacco he is examining,
extracts some samples and tests them in
different ways.
The first test la that of smell. The
Cuban tobacco has a strong and pecul
iar odor. A little variation one way or
the other makes the tobacco good or
bad. After smelling it the buyer is like
ly to roll a rudely constructed cigar out
of the leaf and smoke it He will inhale
the smoke and endeavor to determine
exactly the flavor. He will also examine
tho ash carefully and test also the oom
bustion of the tobacco—that is, try to
find out how long it will hold fire. It is
a great annoyance to a smoker who is
talking or writing or otherwise engaged
to put his cigar into his mouth and find
that it has gone out No eigar ever
tastes so good after it has once gone out,
and a fine Havana cigar is positively
rank when it has met such a catas
trophe. So one quality sought for is
that of holding fire. If a sample smoked
by the buyer will keep lighted four
minutes, it is considered very good.
Some will burn for five minutes and
even longer without being puffed.—

Schley’a Lows Leas.
A Kansas City man who was a class
mate of Schley’s at Annapolis says that
the admiral was looked upon as the
best Spanish and French scholar in the
navy. His department at the academy
was modern languages. “I remember
one thing in particular about him, and
that is his long legs. He is not notice
ably tall, but his legs are of wondrous
length and he can run like a deer. In
the navy they never tire of telling about
Schley in Korea. During the trouble
there we sent a-landing party ashore in
charge of Schley. The boat had not
more than reached the shore when out
jumped the marines to make a dash for
the parapets, possibly half a mile away.
In the lead was Schley. In a jiffy he
was far ahead of everybody, his legs
working vigorously, and when the em
bankments were reached he had prac
tically distanced all the others.”
Too Costly.
The San Francisco Argonaut a
new story about Stephen Massett, so
well known years ago as “Jeems Pipes.”
When he was the editor of the Marys
ville (Cat) Herald,,Mr. Hittell, the
well known California pioneer and
author, engaged him in argument on re
ligion, which Mr. Hittell attacked,
finally winding up by saying, “See
here, Massett, you ought to get my book
on ‘Evidences Against Christianity;*
that will convince you.”
“Very well,” said Masset, “I will.”
So the next time he entered a bookstore
he asked for it. The clerk showed him
the work in two volumes. “How much
is it?” said Massett.
“Three dollars,” replied the clerk.
“What!” exclaimed Massett. “Three
dollars! Take it back, sir, take it back;
I prefer to remain a Christian. ”
Couldn’t Fool Her.
“Nobody can learn all there is worth
knowing in this lifetime,” said Mr.
Meekton wisely. “And a man ought
never to assume that his education is
finished. I’m going to keep right ahead
with mine. I’m going to study astrono
my.”
His wife looked at him sharply and
then in a cold, hard tone'exclaimed:
“Leonidas, you’ll have to think up
some better excuse than that for stay
ing out all night.”—Washington Star.

I VULTURES OF INOU.
[OIANT BIRDS WHICH ARE NUMEROUS
ANO USSFUU
When th. Kin* VaMor. Coasts to a
Carcaaa. the Other Variettea Hava
ta Stand os Uatll HI. Maie.tr Ha.
Ger*ed Ul*»elt.
If tho city of Bombay bad a tutelary
bird, there is no manner of doubt what
bird that should be. Ido not know,
•ays a writer in The Times of India,
why the ancient Egyptian defied the
ibis, but if Bombay bore the proud fig
ure of a vulture rampant on her shield
everybody would know why. Os all, the
unsalaried public servants who have
identified themselves with this city and
devoted their energies to its welfare no
other can take a place beside the vul
ture. Unfortunately the vulture has
never lent itself to the spirit of her
aldry. The eagle has, strangely enough,
though the difference betwem the two
has never been very well marked in the
popular mind. Tho translators of our
Bible bad no notion of it.
Modem natural history has disen
tangled the two names and assigned
them to two very different families of
birds, the distinction between which in
its essence is just this—that while the
eagle kills its prey the less impatient
vulture waits decently till its time
comes to die. Popular sentiment persists
in regarding the former as the more
noble, but there can be no question
which is the more useful.
It is not easy Indeed to realize to one
self the extent and beneficence of the
work carried on throughout the length
and breadth of India from year’s end to
year’s end by the mighty race of vul
tures. The writer continues: The vul
tures that one sees in such numbers on
Malabar hill belong to two species,
Which are easy enough to distinguish
when once one’s attention has been
turned to the difference between them.
The commoner of the two, the white
backed or Bengal vulture (Gyps benga
lensis) is a smoky black bird, with a
band of white extending the whole
length of the wings on the underside.
This band is broken by the dark body,
and that serves to distinguish the bird
ut a glance.
The other species is the long billed
vulture (Gyps pallesoens) of Barnes.
Jerdon confounded it with another spe
ciM. Its general color is brown, darker
' ar lighter according to age, sometimes
almost whity brown; but, however
• white the underparts may be, body and
wings arc alike. The two species are
about the same size and larger than one
1 would suspect who has only seen them
at a distance. A good specimen will
measure over seven feet from tip to tip
of the wings.
There is one curious difference in
their habits. The long billed vulture
breeds always on high cliffs, while its
Bengal brother is content to build its
nest on any tree big enough to bear the
weight of such a ponderous edifice. I
have seen a single mango tree groaning
under the weight of two or three nests
on the other side of the harbor. Each
nest contains one egg, generally white,
but sometimes blotched with brown.
Once fairly in the air, no bird surpasses
the majesty of its flight. The question
has often been hotly discussed whether
birds can sail without flapping their
wings.
The difficulty originated, of course,
with somebody of that unfortunate class
who must reason about a question of
' fact instead of looking. He demonstrat
ed that such a feat was impossible. The
vultures kept on doing it all the same,
and any one may .watch them. For
hours together they will sail in circles,
or rather in spirals, without the slight
est motion of their wings beyond trim
ming them to the wind like the sails of
a boat. Os course there must be a wind.
There are two other kinds of vultures
which may occasionally be seen in Bom
bay. One is the king vulture (Otogyps
calvns), a royal bird, not indeed larger
than the others, but of nobler aspect and
prouder character. It appears singly or
with its mate and will not consort with
the herd. When it comes to a carcass,
the others have to stand by until it has
dined. There is no difficulty in recog
nizing tliis tpeoies by its deep black col
or, relieved only by two ppre white
patches on its thighs and by the blood
red tint of its bare head and neck. Our
fourth vulture is the foul bird known as
Pharaoh’s chicken, as well as by other
i less reputable names. Its title in sconce
is Neophron ginginianus.
It is one of the commonest birds
about Poonah and everywhere on the
plains of the Deccan, but seldom visits
the coast I have, however, seen a pair
on more than one occasion about the
flats. It is a white bird, not much big
ger than a kite, with only the quill
feathers of the wing black. Its bill is
lang and thin, its naked face yellow and
, its tail wedge shaped. Its neck is not
bare, but clothed with long, rusty white
feathers; pointing backward. It does
, not stand upright, like the true vultures,
, but carries its body like a duck and
i walks like a recruit. By these signs
you may know Pharaoh’s chicken. It
i makes its shabby nest of sticks, rags and
i rubbish on trees, ledges of publio build
ings or anywhere about March and lays
two white eggs, more or less blotched
with brewn.
The Laasw aad Sleep.
A physician quoted by the Boston
Transcript says that acute insomnia
may be promptly cured by the practice
of deep breathing. Draw into the lungs
as much air as possible and do not ex
hale it until obliged to, and then as
slowly as possible. It is somewhat of a
task when the night Is oppressively
warm, but if persisted in is fairly sure
to relieve that hyperemia of the brain
which everyday folk call wakefulness
The tricks of the sleepless to induce
sleep are many, but none is found to be
more immediately efficacious than this
plan at farcing the lungs to take tbs
burden off the teain and nerves.
