in the Near York
Wjrld, made by its Washington corre»
apondent, that Mr. McKinley has deter'
mined to advise Spain through Minister
Woodford that unless the Cuban rebel
lion it put down by October this country
will be compelled to recognise the in
surgents as belligerents, is extremely in*
terming and important, if true.
The statement in the World's corre
spondence is accompanied by' toe fur*
tber remark that the American adminis
tration does not think that such a step
by this government will be followed by
war. Ordinarily it ought not to give
such serious offense as to cause war, and
were we dealing with a more civilized
and intelligent people than the Span
iards it Would hare no such a result, but
McKinley and his cabinet have
failed to estimate the situation correctly
if they expect'our present relations with
the Dons to remain in statu quo alter we
have recognized Cuban belligerency.
Reports from Spain are to the effect that
public sentimeut over there is arousid
against the ministry for its ‘subservi
ency to the United States,” and that a
large and growing element is anxious fi r
war with the American people in order
to obtain an excuse for letting Cuba go.
Such a temper as this among an igno
rant. proud and impressionable race i« a
constant menace to us, and the Wash*
ington authorities will be found napping
and illy prepared for an emergency if
they ignore this feeling in Spain, and
proceed with a recognition of Cuban
belligerency, under the theory that seri
ous results will not follow.
There is no question that the want of
funds alone is keeping Spain in a pacific
state towards us. She would pick a
quarrel with us today did she have the
money or could she raise the amount
necessary to equip her for a great strug
gle, says the Houston Post. Gross ig
norance, blind pride and deliberate mis
representation by the Spanish press, of
the purposes, conduct and resources of
the American Nation, are at tha bottom
of this hostility toward us. If. therefore,
Mr. Kinley has determined to adopt vig
orous measures in the premises or to rec
ognize the insurgents next October un-
1 ws the rebellion is put down before that
ime, we may anticipate some lively de -
velopments eariy next winter.
There is some intimation that the
president will time his action with a
view to political effect in Ohio and e se-

him for entertaining even such a lew

will acfand assist in driving the bar*
barons Spaniard out of Cuba. It is a
case where the ends will justify the
means and the motive.

COCOONS THAT JUMP.
n*y Can ThrowThtmMlrei Several inebs
Into the Air.
The curious movements of jumping
oeaus have lately attracted some atten
tion, though to style the spasmodic
jerks of the beaus jumps is to court
disappointment. Some "jumping co
coons," described by Dr. D. Sharp in
The Entomologist were, however, re
markably good athletes, for they could
spring out of a small vessel, such as a
tumbler, in which they were placed.
These cocoons were from South Africa,
but in spite of their exceptional gym
nastic efficiency Dr. Sharp hardened bir
heart and stfrificed them npou the alia*
of science, in the hope of discoveriug
something unusual that would explain
the powers of jumping.
The cocoons looked like a piece of
oval pottery, about 5 millimeters long,
and having a rough surface. In each of
the two investigated a pupa was found.
The two were similar in every respect,
and they no doubt belonged to the larvae
that made the cocoons. "This little
pupa.’* .’ays Dr. Sharp, "is shut up iu
a remarkably hard, thick cocoon, aud it
has to get out. Nature has not provided
it with caustic potash for the purpose,
but has endowed it with a mechanism
of complex perfection to accomplish this
little object. On the front of the head
It has a sharp, chisel edge, and with
this it has to cut through the pottery,
contracting itself to the utmost iu the
posterior part of the cocoon and retaili
ng itself in this position by the hooks
on the mobile part of the body It is a
condition of elastic tension in conse
quence of the other side of the body be
ing so differently formed and immobile.
"Therefore, releasing the hold of the
books, the pupa is discharged forward,
and the chisel piece strikes the front
part of the cocoon. Repeating this an
enormous number of times, a circle may
be gradually .nscribed on the inside of
the far eud of the cocoon, which gives
way when sufficiently weakened and
the insect becomes free. In both the
specimens the inside of the cocoon is
about half cut through. Either this is
done as the result of a prolonged series
of wriggles or of shocks snch as I have
described. It is by no means improbable

Slumbering beneath many a peace

Tillages which once stood in the
heart of the primeval British forest,
engirdled by the waters of some
stagnant peaty lake. The Irish farm
er of today turns up with his plow
the wooden piles upon which these
lake dwellings rested. They are
black with age, but you can yet
trace the mortise holes which the
ancient Celt made with his primitive
flint chisel*.
The nrohseologist, sniffing such a

their spades, and presently the bur
ied “crannog" is exposed to day
light. There is a circle in’the stock

islet together. Inside are layers of

Today the lake and its praters are
represented by a layer of peat, in
which these relics lie well preserved,
together with samples of the ancient
Irishman's knives, chisels and axes

the period of his civilization. The
Irish ‘‘crannog’’ was a modification
of the lake dwelling of central Eu

Upon the topic of tho lake dwell

—Dr. Mnnro, the secretary of the
Scottish Society of Antiquaries, is a
profound authority, and a series of
leatures recently given by him at
the Royal institution have been of
considerable interest. In his final
discourse Dr. Munro practically

Question. —Should outs and wheat
be cat before fall maturity or not?
Answer.—Unless intended for seed
both wheat and oats should be oat before
becoming fully ripe. By this plan yon
save more of the grain, as there is no
low from shattering. The straw is more
nutritious and therefore more valuable
for feeding; and it is even claimed that
the grain ao saved contains more nutri
tive qualities than when exposed longer
in the son- When, however, the wheat
or oaU ia to be used for seed let it get
fully ripe before harvesting, even at
.the expense of losing some of the grain
by shattering and all of the straw for
feeding purposes—State Agricultural

The people who tbu9 elected to
keep themselves aloof from their
enemies were, according to Dr. Mnn
ro, pastoral farmer immigrants from
the far east of Europe. They were
of a high degree of civilization, for,
though their weapons and tools were
but of stone or bronze, they oonld
use them well. Altogether, so far as
| we can glean any Idea of .the life led
j by these prehistoric inhabitants of
i central Europe, it must have been a
fairly quiet and peaceful one, oom-
. paring very favorably with modern
I peasant life. Tho lake age came to
I an end when iron found its way in
to the bands of men—a revolution
in its way, said Dr. Munro, far sur
passing in its influence on hnman

steam or electricity baa brought

There is an episode in the carets
of Li Hung Chang which is nevei
alluded to in the promiscuous inter
views which his excellency is in the
habit of granting to ladies and gen
tlemon in soaroh of copy. It is it
fact as carefully avoided as the dis
oussion of hemp ropes in oertaic
families. The Taiping devastation
swept over his province when he
was still a young man, and he was
made a captive by the rebels. There
was a great absenoe of scholarship
among the Taipings, and as they
were constantly putting oat impos
ing proclamations they wore hard
put to it to provide a decent or even
an intelligible literary form for
these state papers. Young Li was a
literary graduate of the first class.
Instead of killing him, as they were
wont to kill those who fell into their
bands, the Taipings bad the sense to
employ their scholar captive in writ
ing oat their placards and manifes
toes, and to this happy adaptation of
means to ends the world owes its Li
Hung Chang. How he escaped from
his captors is unknown to the pres
ent writer, bat this i3 oertain—that
be has never forgotten those who he-
friended him at that time. Indeed it
is supposed his loyalty to the fami
lies of his benefactors has cost him
much, for it has led to bis keeping
about him the unworthy sons of per
haps worthy fathers, unprofitable
servants who brought neither credit
to their patron nor advantage to the
State.—CornhiU Mn^iry*
man of any prominence who is now in
central Africa merely for the big game
and a little incidental map making and
correcting, will evidently write an in
teresting book as soon as he returns to
civilization. Mr. Weatherby is not the
man to spoil a good story just because
he is himself its hero, and occasional
letters from him that reach his friends
in London show that he is having a lot
of fan. One written ia January from
Lake Bangweolo—wherever that may
be—details an exciting experience he
had with one Mewenge, a chief of. the
Wansi tribe.
"On the day of our arrival/’ says the
traveler, “Mewenge rushed oat mad
with anger aud a drink which the na
tives call pom be. He brandished an ax
and was surrounded by crowds of fol
lowers. We stood our ground and noth
ing happened. - The next morning I
wished to see him, so I sent word to
say I was coming and hoped to find him
sober. The duffer filled his walled vil
lage with armed men and closed its en
trances. We forced our way through
one of them, however, and leaving ten
men outside I went in with six. Leav
ing these also well in the rear, with
strict orders that they were not to come
near me, I walked np to Mewenge (who
was a dirty ash color and whose heart I
could see beating like a sledge hammer)
amid a dead silence and stood in the
crowd around him. Then I said: ‘Look,
Mewenge. Where am I standing? In
the middle of your men, and I have no
gun. I don’t want to fight yon, but I
am not afraid of you. If you want war
yon can have it.* Well, proceedings
terminated peacefully, to cut the matter
short, and after that we became great
pals.”
