ii Fong ChO0, the Chinese Ambassador
to France, left Paris for Berlin Saturday
soon after the announcement of the bonn
parliament of Foo Chow. He had q brief
interview with NJ. Ferry. 1t is thought in
London that the war will not last very long
and that China will soon submit. The
French fleet at Foo Chow bombarded the
city. Saturday, and captured the Chinese
Meet. This statement Is confirmed by the
chinese embassy at London. The usual
cablegram comes from Paris that the French
government knows nothing of the naval
battle. The anxious crowds which are rep
resented as standing around the bulletin
boards and ambassadOral residences will ul-
timately be fed by the French journals with
clippings from the enterprising press Of
London.

It is some slight comfort to know
that other nations beside ourselves
sometimes blunder in the construction
of war vessels. Tho Ajax and Aga

took nearly eight years to construct

nounced to be failures. Per contra, a

English Capital in Cattle Ranges.

Within the past six months about Sd
600, 900 have been invested in purchasing
stock ranches in Montana by Eastern
capitalists. This money mainly came
from New York City. During my visit
and talk among your capitalists find
that there is great disposition to invest
money in Western lands and especially
in the cattle business. Perhaps capital
lists are getting sick of Wall street securi-
ties. But by far the greatest amount of
money invested in American cattle
growing is by Englishmen. They prac-
tically control the cattle trade. Within
the past five years stock-raising has in
creased largely, and there is about five
times the amount ofcapital invested now
than there was then. All the talk about
"panic in beef is done by spectators
to keep up the price. The almost mar
ye.ous growth of this industry, and the
renewed capital pouring into the North
west will prevent the specnlators from
making corner in beef, and it may even
reduce the price in the next year or two.

At the Astronomical Observatory o
Berlin discovery has been made, whicl
without doubt, will cause the creates
sensation, not only among those not a
depts in science, but even among tn
most learned. Professor Blendman, il
that city, hiss found, beyond doubt, that
our old friend, the moon, is not q mert
lantern which kindly furnishes light fol
the loving youth and gas companies o1
our planet, but the abode of living intel
ligent beings, for which he is prepared
to furnish proofs most convincing.
This question has a9ltated humanity
from time immemorial, and has been the
object of the greatest interest. But the
opinions have always differed very wide.
ly, and no two minds held one and the
same view. Alreadysin ancient times
the belief that the moon was inhabited
with some higher Organized intelligent
beings, somewhat resembling man, and
in order to communicate with them the
earthly enthusiasts planted rows Of trees
several miles in length SO as to form the
figure of the Pvthagorean theoreum.
The celebrated astronomer, Schroeder,
in the beginning of the present century,
fancied that he could detect places ON
the surface ofthe moon which periodical
iy grew lighter and darker, and from this
fact he derived the conclusion that the
phenomenon was proof for existing
vegetation. During the last few decades,
however, the idea of life on the moon has
been held up to ridicule, and totally
scorned by men Of learning. But never
theless it has now been proven to be
correct.
BY accident DR.. Blendman found that
the observations Of the moon gave but
very unsatisfactory results, owing to the
intensity Of the light power ofthe moons
atmosphere, which is that strong that it
affects the correctness of the observations
in a very nigh degree. He then conoeiv-
ed the idea to make the object glass Of
the refractor less sensitive to the rays of
light, and for that purpose he darkened
it with the smoke Of campsor. 1t took
months of experimenting before he sue
ceeded to find the right degree of obscur-
ity of glass, and when finally found he
then with the refractot took very accu-
rate photo of the moons surface. This
he placed in a sun microscope, which
gave the picture a diameter of fifty-five
and one-half feet. The revelation was
most startling. II perfectly overturned
all hitherto entertained ideas of the
moons surface. Those level plains which
formerly were held to be oceans ofwater
proved to be verdant fields, and what
formerly was considered mountains turn
ed out as deserts of sand and oceans of
water. Towns and habitations of all
kinds were plainly discernlble as well as
signs of industry and traffic. The learned
professors study and observations of old

if he could not dish up story for thc

between snort and grunt right next

gun. and there stood big grizzly bear
not more than ten feet from him and
staring him in the face. Well, Bill, you
know, is terrible quick on the shoot. The
bar started 20 turn around, but Bill bang
