DURING the past year the number of
original advertisements for missing
friends, or next of kin, in the London
Times was 700, and the number of per
sons named therein about 5000. The
next of kin of twenty-six persons. The
amount of money reverting to the
Crown by reason of these intricacies is
seldom stated but in one case-Mrs.
Helen Rlake's-it amounted to $780,
900. From one of these advertisements
it appears that the heirs of person
who emigrated to America in 1888 are
wanted to claim fortune of $4,000,
600.

THE INDIAN WAR.

AS far as heard from twenty-nine
settlers have been killed by the Indians
in Northern Idaho. The disaffection
toward the whites is said to be general
among all the tribes in Northern Idaho,
Western Montana md the eastern part
of Washington Territory. The number
of Indians actually on the war path is
said not to exceed 200. but it is feared
that unless prompt measures are adopt
ed to punish those murderers the num-
Der will be increased to 1000. Allthe
available troops under the command of
General Howard have been ordered to
the front. but as they do not exceed
400 men the force is considered wholly
inadequate to punish the Indians, who
are scattered over wide extent of ter
ritory, and it is probable that volun-
teers will be called out in Oregon and
Idaho.

A MEXICAN BATTLE IN TEXAS.

There are two active claimants to the
Presidency of Mexico. One was
counted in and has control of the Gov
eminent; the other was counted out
ana wants to supplant his successful
rival. They have no eight to seven
Commissions in Mexico, and the turbu-
lent inhabitants would not submit to
their decisions if they had. All dis
putes about the Presidency in that
country are settled by arms instead of
Electoral Commissions. In the States
bordering on the Rio Grande the heay-
lest battalions just now are on the
side of the would-be President, whose
followers are called Revolutionists.
Last week these forces followed de-
tachment of Government troops who
sought refuge in Texas, across the
Rio Grande. killed several of them and
then returned to the Mexican side.
The Government troops who escaped
death at the hands of the Revolution
lists were captured by the United States
forces on the Rio Grande for violating
the neutrality laws, and released on
parole. AS the relations between the
United States and Mexico, in conse-
quence of depredations committed by
Mexican marauders on the border, are
not OF the most amicable character,
this violation of the neutrality laws
may result in war with Mexico.

Weight Of the Human Body.

There are few people but like to be
weighed occasionally; some do it regu-
larly at certain hours, before and after
meals, or taking bath, etc. Yet there
are few things so changeable as the
weight of the body; indeed, it is rarely
the same for a few minutes together,
and ii man were to. siitl on one of the
plates for a whole day, the other plate
would be constantly oscillating within
certain limits. The state of the wealth
er and time Of the year influence our
weight In summer we grow fatter
than we are in winter, such is the gen
eral rule; yet most people believe that
hot weather makes us leanef 1t is true
we eat less and perspire more; these
are certainly two causes of loss but,
on the other hand, we eXpend less to
keep up the temperature of the body,
and moreover we drink more, and our
beverages possess the curious property
Of increasing out fat Beer, and even
pure water, are great fattening agents
Cattle reared for slaughter get great
deal to drink, which increases their
bulk considerably !; the tissues are
gorged with liquid, and SO the weight
increases, but the system is weakened
In winter the organism has to be pro
vided with heat; we eat more, but also
expend more to keep up the tempera
ture Of the body then also we drink
less, so that on the whole the loss is
greater than the gain, and we grow
lean. In short, we fatten when, under
ordinary circumstances, we burn more
of the food we have, and we, therefore,
in breathing exhale carbonic acid in
proportion. We begin to emit less of
the latter in April; it's amount dimin-
lshes considerably in July, August and
September, and attains its minimum
about the autumnal equinox. 1t then
goes on increasing from October, and
we begin to lose the substance gained
during the summer From December
to March we remain nearly station
ary To conclude, as we consume less
in summer than winter, all other cir
cumstances remaining the same, we are
heavier in hot weather than we are in
winter.

STEAMBOAT SHAKEN UP.

Explosion of the Turkish Powder Hills
Near Constantinople. with Fearful
Loss of Life.
a correspondent Of the London Daiky
Ne~s writes from Constantinople. Octo-
Der /: yesterday morning, at about ten
O'Clock, four very loud and almost sim
ultaneous explosions greatly alarmed
the inhabitants of this city and the vi
cinity, and all sorts of rumors were i'm
medlately af1oat as to the cause. The
utmost excitement prevailed, crowds Of
people congregated in almost every
street, and many of them were pale
with terror. The explosions were caused
by very alarming accident which took
place at the government planning mills
at Zeltounlik the Place Of Olives5. close
to Makrikeny, about five miles from
the capital. Four pug mills, situated
near TO each other, blew up at almost
the same instant through the explosion
OF some grains of powder, while the
stone used in working the powder was
turning. The four mills were in a mo-
ment destroyed, and a great number of
llves, varlously estimated at from fifty
to two hundred, were lost. It is impos
slble, as yet, to ascertain the precise
number, but [ fear that the latter is
more likely to be nearer the truth. A
great quantity Of machinery and DOW

government estimates the loss at 1O, OOOl..
and says that it feels confident that the
loss can be repaired within q fort
night at latest. The Imperial cart
ridge mandatory is close by the
scene Of the explosion, and had that
building also blown up the loss to the
government at the present moment
would have been almost irreparable
The greatest promptitude was exhibited

house committee, instantly proceeded
to- the scene Of the accident. The GOV

another and then again by two others in
rapid succession Men and women ran
to and fro in an excited state for an in
stant half expecting to find themselves
blown up. Some Of the passengers on
the bridge had, however, seen the ex-
plosion on shore, and the word was at
once passed that the powder factory had
blown up. We then all saw huge pear
shaped mass Of smoke shooting up into
the sky, and knew that we were safe.
