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.” ULEGED THEFTS OF MAIL.

The government of Costa Rica i ok cognizance of the allegations and os a result of their investigations Senor Caivo, the Costa Rican minister, to-day made the statement that after an exhaus tin' investigation of the matter there was not anything to show but one instance of theft of mail.

Hnimry Sport Coaid Mot C Them Rpcnnse They M ere Yellow Edged. 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 met a fritnd inside of an hour who loaned me S6O and put me on my feet, but it was next day before I learnel exactly what had happen!d to me nt 'he gambllngr hoi sc. it scem.d that tie y had hud a good deal of trouble with people who claimed Chinamen’s b ts, and at laat they laid in a supply of yellow-edged chips that they used exclusively for the Chinese play. When a white man presented a chip of that kind for redemption they knew pos ltlvely that It belonged to some gentle man with a queue, and always refused to homr It. The chips I began p aying w th were yellow-edged, and naturally they pild beta with the same variety, the thal er not nothing that 1 was a 'Mellcan man' until I attempted to cash In. I have no excuse to offir fer what I did. hut, up n my word. I believe I was sufficiently pun ished when I had to give up that small mountain of Ivory and walk out on an empty stomach," 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. Oar Old Friend.

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. Original Mfnle Cnpltnls. From the New York Sun.

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. ■—Sir J.
