New York. July 19.—Bishop McCabe of
the Me ill odist Episcopal Church, who Is
intimately associated with the Foreign
Mission Board, said to-day:
“I have not the slightest doubt that the
Chinese are gathering together an army
of 960.1)00 men. In fact, those reports coin
. iiie exactly with information tfiat I have
ben receiving from the Foreign Mission
Board and through the different available
sources. This means that we are to have
Pie most stupendous war of the age.
When inflamed by passion, the Chinese
are the most cruel and vengeful savages
in the world. Add to this their fanaticism
and their numbers and you can readily
understand the gigantic task that all mis
fion.iiy workers realize the Powers have
on hand to restore order in the Chinese
empire.”

STOLE CHIPS FROM CHDAMAN.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
“Never be dead certain that a fellow is
until you’ve seen him tried when
he’s broke and hungry,” remarked a man
who follows the races and has tarried in
town since the winter meet. “I was in that
fix the only time in my life I ever took
anything tht didn’t belong to me. and I
got ©aught at it in rather a peculiar man
her. It was at Laredo, Tex., when they
were Just finishing up the northern end
of the Mexican Railway. How I hap
pened io drift there is another story, but
the main po<int is that I landed in town
without a cent, had nothing to ‘soak’ and
didn't know ti soul nearer than New Or
leans. Laredo was a pretty lively town
then and I hustled around for a couple
of days, hoping to catch onto some kind
of a job. but it was no go. All that time
I had nothing to eat but a bite of cracker
and cheese that I picked up in a raid on
a free lunch counter and I had reached a
stage where my conscientious scruples
were pretty weak in the knees, when I
wandered into a gambling house and
slopped in the crowd around one of the
faro tables. Several Chinamen were
playing and one who was sitting right in
front of me had his lap full of white chins.
“While I was standing there, thinking
about something to eet and feeling mighty
desperate, the chap in front of me leaned
over to place a hot, and before 1 realised
what I was doing I had five of the chip*
in my hand. 1 had picked them up by h
sort of instinct, like a drowning man grab
bing a straw, and for a moment I drew
back, shocked and frightened. Then I
swullowed my scruples, slipped over to
the other end of the table and put two of
the bones on a card. They won. At that
I made several more smAll bets without a
lost* and soon had a couple of etacks
worth $5 apiece. That atarted the gambling
fever in me and I took possession of the
first vacant chair and began to play in
earnest, forgetting all about my hollow
insides. There were *o many people at
ihe table that the dealer didn't notice me
particularly and paid my bets without
question.
“Within an hour I had run the two
stacks of whites up to WOO and had blues
and reds piled in front of me a foot high,
I saw all my troubles fade away, and was
as happy as a king.
“ 'Give me cash for this ivory," said I,
pushing the outfit across the table. The
dealer looked at the chips and looked at
me; then he grinned.
’’ ’You'll have to grow a pigtail before
you can get money on those,’ he said
" What's the matter with 'em?' 1 ask
ed, startled half out of my boots.
•’’They have >e’low edges.’ he replied,
‘and I'd advise you to skip, quick.'
"I heard a sort of growl run through
the crowd, and. without knowing why, I
realised that everybody was against me.
That, with my guilty conscience, took all
the tight out of me in a twinkling and I
heal a retreat as fast as I could, feeling
ready to go and jump Into the river. I
didn.'i have to do It, however, because 1

THE MORNING NEWS: FBI DAY, JULY 20, 1000.
HOW MOSQUITOES WORK.
SOMETHING THAT IT 1* WELL TO
KNOW AT THIS SEASON,
Taste for Blood Acqnirnl—Method
by Which Inaects* Poison Is 1u -
Jeof*d Into Unman Beluga—Ha ve
Eyes In Abnudtincc.
Front the Baltimore Sun.
Scientists have for years been studying
the cksease germs taken by mosquitoes
from one human being, deevloped in the
body of the inaect and then into another
person to poison his blood with malaria,
but few have given much attention to the
study of the poison generated by the mos
quite itseif and injected into the victim
of his, or rather her, brte. The effects of
the potion are apparent every day in tha
blotches, and sometimes slight ulceration*
which surround the scene of the mosqui
to’s blood-sucking visit.
Dr. W. 8. Thayer, who at Johns Hopkins
Hospital is engaged in a series of experi
ments which carry out the now accepted
theory that mosquitoes transmit malaria,
said yesterday that he knew of no scien
tific Investigation. of the mosquito poison
which accompanies every bite inflicted by
the insect. So trldeopread are the rav
ages of the mosquito that nearly every
one is l acquainted by' personal contact
with the contents of the poison gOand of
the little insect. With the bite come* a
stinging sensation of greater or lees inten
sity. according to the susceptibility of the
person suffering it. Itching follows, which
is usually allayed by scratching the bite.
Here is where the damage is don**, accord
ing to some physicians. From the
scratching finger nail germs get into the
slight wound and these set up an. irrita
tion and local inflammation which may
result in the formation of a little pustule.
Finger Nall f>oe* the Work.
It is believed that the actual poison of
the mosquito, which is really its saliva, is
only a slight irritating organic poison
which would have no bad effects upon
the human system, its irritating influence,
soon wearing away. But the Anger nail
does the w’ork by introducing germs into
the tiny wound. So minute the little
poison glands and bo small is the amount
of poison secreted by the insect that no
one has taken the trouble to gather it in
quantity sufficient for chemical analy
sis.
The function of the mosquito’s poison
is probably two-foM. Some observers
think it is injected to aid in lubricating
the proboscis as it is inserted in the skin
to secure the insect's meal of blood. An
other theory is that the poisonous saliva
serves to make more fluid the blood, so
that it may be more readily sucked out
by the mosquito. This seems to be borne
out by the noted absence of irritation
from the poison if the moequito is allowed
to suck his fill, as then the poison is
probably sucked out also. If the mosquito
is interrupted in his meal the full effects
of the poison are felt.
Dr. Fulton Does Not Hind Them.
Dr. John &. Fulton, secretary of the
State Board of Health, says that when
living- in a moaquito-infected aection of
Maryland he tried not to mind the little
pests, allowing them to have their feasts
off his Wood undisturbed. Soon, he says,
he became immune to the poison, and no
longer minded the bites, nor was he in
convenienced by the punctures of the
mosquitoes.
They Do Not Have to Snek Blood.
While Baltimoreans are rising in their
wrath these warm evenings and nights
to smite the pestiferious mosquitoes that
are annoying them in their homes and
yards, they may be interested to know
Just what they are smiting or would like
to smite. In the first place. It Is the fe
male of the species that has the blood
thirsty propensity.
The taste for blood is supposed to be
largely acquired, for it would obviously
be impossible for all mosquitoes to feed
on warm-blooded animals. Their regular
diet is a vegetable one—juices sucked from
fruits and flowers. Some species have
studied which still keep up their
vegetable habits. Of other species the fe
males alone are blood-suckers, while the
males stick to their vegetable diet. In
rare cases species have been found in
which both sexes prey on the blood of uni
mals.
How n >floK<jnito Hites.
The act o# biting of a mosquito has been
likened to the sinking of an artesian well
shaft. Its biting apparatus is the pro
boscis, which has beeq discussed into
nine parts. One of it principal parrs Is
the upper lip, which exjends nearly to
the end of the organ. Beneath it and In
a groove is a long pointed canula which is
a sort of extension of the pharangeal tube.
Through this the blood in sucked. On
either side are two lancet-shaped pieces,
mandibles and maxillae, which prepare
the way for the insertion of the pro
boscis. The maxillae are more delicate
and provided at the ends with a number
of spike-like barbs, probably to enable
the mosquito to hold on after it has once
started on its quetit for blood. Beneath all
is a sheath which incloses the other parts
except along its upper border when open.
This is the lower lip, and is somewhat di
lated at its end into a pair of Jointed
valves. These probably have to do with
the aucking of blood.
When the proboecis is in action it is all
forced into the skin except the sheath,
which is bent into a sort of loop, which
becomes narrower as the piercing organ
penetrates more deeply. At either side
of he base of the proboscis in a pair of
jointed appendages, maxillary palpi The
poison Is secreted either in two glands
which are situated at each side of the
thorax or in a single gland at the base
of the proboscis.
Their freeing Appnrntan.
The sides and front of the head of the
mosquito are occupied by facetted eye*
This probably accounts for the ease with
which mosquitoes escape from impending
smashing under an uplifted hand. They
are able to see all around them, and so
are able to get out of dunger. In some
species the eyes touch each other in front
so completely do they cover the head.
Over 240 Species.
A recent work on gnats, or mosquitoes,
by Maj. George M. Giles, an English in
vestigator, names over 240 different spe
cies. Of these the culex varieties com
prise about three-fourths. These are dis
tinguished from the anopheles, or mala
ria-bearing mosquitoee. With the ex
ception of the polar regions it is said that
not at all extensive land surface on the
globe is free from mosquitoes. In North
America there are no less thßn forty-one
culex species.
A* a rule the culex is soberly colored,
although under the lens he shows elab
orate and beautiful marking. Most of
them have no definite spots on the wings,
as distinguished from the mottled
winged anopheles. Such distinctions of
the culex varieties are noted as varying
color s of thorax and abdomen and knee
spotted. The males ore distinguished by
having plumed antennae, while the fe
male# have their antennae nearly bare,
or with tufts of hair at the base.

In nn African Diamond Mine.
Letter in London New*.
While at Trummel I took advantage of
a couple of days’ camping to go out three
miles from comp to have a look at a
diamond mine. 1 found a red-whiskerM
Dutchman in charge, who knew less Eng
lish than T knew r Dutch, und as my Dutch
consists of about twelve words, we did
not do much in the conversational line;
but I made him understand by panto
mimic telegraphy that I wanted to have a
look round, to size up things. He took me
to a “dump,” where the ore at gras*
was stored, and converted himself into
a human stone-cracking machine for my
benefit, until I had seen ail that I wanted
to see in regard to the “ore at grass.”
He was very much like mine managers
the tvorld over—very ready to play tricks
on any one he considered “green" at the
business. It was not his fault that he
did not know' that I had !>e*n a reporter
on gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, and coal
mines for about twenty yearn.
Thinking, doubtless, that I was Uk>
unto the ordinary city fellow, who comes
at rare Intervals to look at a mine, he
made me a present of a piece of rock
with some worthless garnet* in it. afar*
a sample of country rock pregnant with
mundic; the garnets and the m-undic gilt,
.tered in the sunshine. I rose to the bait,
as I was expected to do. and intimomd
that I would like a lot of it. This de
lighted the Dutchman, and he beamed all
over his expansive face, all the time curs
ing me for the second son of an idiot,
as is the way with mine manager?. But
he stopped grinning before the afternoon
w’ore out. for I set him climbing and
clambering for little pieces of mundiic nd
tiny patches of garnets in nil rhe tough
est places I could find in that mine, and
went into ecstacies over each individual
piece, until I had quite a load of the rub
bish. Then I intimated gently that I
wou’ld be back that way ivhen the wvjr
w'as over, and would surely send my Cap*
cart for them if he would be good enough
to mind them for me. I fancy an inkling
of the truth dawned in that Dutchman’*
soul at last, for he made no further ref
erence to either garnets or mundic. I
satisfied myself with a sample of the mat
rix in which diamond? are found, and
also w'ifh specimen of the country rock
for geological reference, but the garnets
are on the heap still.
The mine, which is named the “Monas
tery,” is very crudely worked; everything
connected with it is primitive. A hug.*
quarry, about 609 feet in circumference,
and about forty feet <l*ep. had been
opened up. There was nothing in the
shape of lede or reef, but a large num
ber of disconnect* cl “stringers ” or lead
ers of rocky matter, in which diamonds
are often foimd. At the bottom of the
quarry the water lay fully eight feet
deep, owing to the fact that the mine had
lain unworked during the war. A verti
cal shaft had ben sunk a little distance
from the quarry to a depth of 150 feet,
hut there was a hundred feet of water
In it. so that I am unable to say any
thing concerning the Monastery diamond
mire at ts lower levels. One or two run
nels had be*n drawn from he. quarry in
to the adjoin ng country on small lead
ers. and from what I could ga her from
my guide, diamonds had been discovered.
Whilst I went below. I left my Kaffir
boy on top to pick up what he could in
the shape of rumor or gossip from the
natlv*s. and he informed n;e that the nig
gers had been the cause of the opening
of the mine, they having found diamonds
near the surface in some of rhe leaders,
which cons stod of a rock known iti Aus
tra?ia mining circles as llleglrima’e gran
ite. The white folk, fearing that the joor
heathen rristhl become debauched if they
pnsst ss.*d too much wealth, had gather
ed diamonds in—when they could—
and later had started mining for the pre
cious gems, with w'hat success tha
heathen did not know. I tried the Dutch
man on ihe same point, but I might as
w' ll have lntervbw’ed an oyster in regarl
to the sub nee of gastronomy. He dodged
around my quest'on like a fox terrier
round a fence until I gave him up in
despair. But for all that. I rather fancy
that they hivp found diamonds round
that way. only they don’t want the Brit
lh to know anything about It.

states, notably North Dakota, P has hern
ne eshary to put th- matter of capital se
lection to the determination of the voters
on several occasions, and not without
considerable contention and friction in the
settlement of the dispute. New Orleans
for a time after the civil war was the
capital of Louisiana, has been sui‘*reded
by Fiatoti Rouge. Detroit, the largest
city In Michigan, was originally the capi
tal, h position now occupied by Landing.
Leoompton was the first capital of Kan
sas; Topeka Is the capital r.ow
Omaha was the capital of Ne, aska ns
a territory, and remained such for a
short time after Its admission, until Lin
coln succeeded it. Wheeling was tire first
capital of West Virginia before the se
lection of Charleston, and Virginia City
wan the capital of Nevada before the
selection of Carson City; or Carson, is if
Is called locally. Denver has always been
the capital of Colorado, state or territory.
Yankton, 8. D.. was the capital of Da
kota territory before its admission Into
the union as two eparat*- states, but
the present capital of South Dakota Is
the town of Pierre, end it was not estab
lished as such until after Borne contro
versy.
By what may beat, perhaps, be describ
ed as a paradox. Rhode Island, the small
est of the nates in the country, has had
the largest number of capitals. It now
has fVo. Providence at I Newport, find
originally had five simultaneous * ;*pin;s,
so to speak. Provl-lence, Newport, youth
Kensington, Hast Greenwich and Pristol.
Connecticut had two, Hartford and New
Haven, and it 1m sometimes found diffi
cult. at present, to understand why a
small state with a sparse population, and
having little official business to transact,
should have found It necessary to main*

Gentlemen—it giv*** me pleasure to
heartily re ommend Infanta* Friend
Powder, and to give to you a singu
lar little coincident connected with it.
During the Cotton Slates and In
ternational Expositor 1 was presen
ted with a Utile box of this powder,
and was so pleated with it that I
was exceedingly anxiou* to get more,
but on looking at the box 1 found
nothing but Savannah, Ga., no other
address. I have often wished I knew
where to get it. Tliia morning's
mail brought your circular with en
closed sample I immediately re
ferred to my box, and found it waa
the Infants’ Friend Powder. It is
without doubt the best jowder 1 have
ever used. Respeutfully,

tain more than one capital. I. Is explain
ed by the fact, however, that in early
times, and for some years after the revo
lutionary period, local jealousies existed
lierween the several towns of a mate, and
il whs to appease these jealousies that the
< oneesdion was made of two capitals,
Rhode Island, though not the pioneer,
is now the last survivor of this custom,
•and its cl Miens are to vote In November
Oil the proposition to do a Any with New
port as ii capita! and establish Providence
as the only one.
Another reason which has had consid
erable to do with the establishment of
capitals in early times in country dis
tricts was found in the definite boundaries
of the state. All the original states hod
fixed boundaries when admitted, but mo*r
of the Western and Southern st ites were
sub-divisions of former territories, nnd
th* 4 capital which was appropriate at one
time would not serve ifter different boun
daries were chosen. The Territory of
Michigan, for instance, included a part or
Northwestern Ohio, Including th city of
Toledo. Ohio was admitted Into the Un
ion in 1802 and the northwestern counties
were not annexed to it until 1830. This
change In the state boundaries justified
the selection of a more northerly town for
the capital, an*l Columbus was chosen.
The United States hus changed its cap
ital. originally in New York and after
wards in Philadelphia, like most of the
separate states.
