Water as a Fat Producer.

A discovery of vital interest in So
cial science is alleged to have been
made in the recent assertion of some
anonymous scientific man that it is not
food but water which makes us fat. II
this is true it would seem to throw a
new light on large number of dis
puted questions. II adipose tissue is
n desirable thing. then the work Of the
prohibitionists should be supported
with unanimous approval. that we may
become n sleek and well-contented ma
ton.
There is. however, room for dispute
as 10 whether mere fat should be en-
couraged. Caesar is represented by
Shakespeare as wanting none but fat
men about him. But there is every
reason for belief that the great Roman
preferred fat men because they would
take things easily and would not dis
turb his rule by any restless attempts
at liberty. This would indicate that
lean men will be better for the leader
ship of a free people. There is room
for suspicion that the professional poll
iticians have had n secret knowledge of
this discovery for many years, and in
order 10 keep themselves in condition
for the defense of freedom have
guarded against the accumulation of
fat by drinking no water nj all, and
keeping strictly 10 whisky.

The chain and ball seems to be the

by Durand, the famous New York

the ball perfectly round, and about the

are attached TO ladies' fob chains, an
elegant new trihe. and the ends of
bracelets. and are also worn rs ear

tiny rubies, or with turquoise and

fine Jewels worked into them. The

returned in the shape of semi-circle
of nugget gold, and is now in high

Earthquakes and Volcanoes.

The theory that there is an intimate
connection between earthquakes and
volcanoes does not appear to be well
founded. There are a number OF vol
canoes in sections where earthquakes
are seldom felt, and earthquakes are
frequent where there are no volcanoes.
In the tropics where both are frequent,
there is more or less sympathy between
them. The fall of large portion OF
the earth's crust into the central sea OF
molten lava is very liable TO start the
smoke out of the earth's chimncys, just
as charge of coal thrown into fur
mace sends the smoke out OF the tall
stack. Should large body Of water
accompany tho falling mass then an
explosion takes place, an earthquake
shock is felt, and the escaping steam
carries ashes and lava out with it.

The Florida Mosquito.

That there are localities and seasons
where mosquitoes are OF enormous size
| and ferocity and in great numbers.
writes Florida correspondent OF The
Cleveland Leader, Is not to be denied.
Away from the coast mosquito bars are
the exception, but think that during
part of every summer people every
where would promote their comfort If
they provided their beds with them. 1t
is n curious fact that the presence of
mosquitoes in great numbers depends
upon excessive droughts. In norm nj
condition of things, when the ponds re-
main full, the fish, in which the ponds
abound, consume the "wigglers." and
mosquitoes are only produced in such
wet places as are destitute of fish.
But when the ponds become-as they
sometimes do-completely dried up,
and are again filled by the rains before
they are restocked with fish, the wrig-
glers reappear, and mosquitoes are
generated in countless millions. But
the fish presently return from some I'M
known hiding-places Git is mystery to
which | have observed parallel in
Siskiyou county. California;, and in
few weeks repeople the ponds with
young fish and the mosquitoes disap-
pear. On tho coast, while they are
never so numerous as in the interior,
they are moro persistent, though
scarcely rising to the proportions of
serious pest except during July. August
and September. The drainig-and
sometimes this is simple affair-of
the neighboring sand-flats. where the
tide and rains create brackish lagoons.
tends greatly 10 mitigate them.
Sand-heas arc just as bad, and no
worse than in light sandy soils any
where where dogs and swine are al
lowed to circulate in or close about the
house. They are no worse than they
are in certain class of hotels on the
sand-lots of San Francisco The pres
ence of tleas to any considerable ex-
tent is reproach to the personal hab-
its OF the inhabitants wherever found.
Much the same may be said of house,
flies-they accuse the farmer himself.
But no house. whether in Florida, or
elsewhere, ought TO be without screens.
There is large rattlesnake, not exact
ly the same species rs that of the west
and north, and, away from the coast,
the ground rattlesnake, and about
sloughs and lagoons several varieties
of the moccasin. II is said that the ma
tive Floridans never kill a non-poison-
Gus snake, rs there are several varieties
of them which assist in making war on

\ Crooks Resort.

This government is being blcd 10
death by Canada. and the administra-
ton does not seem to be able 10 grasp
the situation. Oar American bank
cashiers are docking 10 Canada with
the millions they have accumulated by
a lifetime of industry in stealing, ana
all efforts TO bring them back seem 10
be useless, rs the Canadian judges re-
fuse to let the cashiers be interfcred
with. There is n sentiment in Canada
that the man who steals money in
America and takes it to Canada is q
thoroughbred. and society takes the de-
faulter in, and the courts stand between
him and harm. AS long as the de-
faulter has money he is safe in Canada.
The only way for our people 10 get
even Is 10 advertise this country rs a
resort for Canadian defaulters. Let it
once be known that defaulters from the
other side will be welcomed here, met
with covered carriages at the line be-
tween the two countries, escorted TO
palatial hotels and given receptions,
attended by our best people, and 1t will
be possible TO get some of the money
back. This country is much larger
than Canada, and has more banks, con-
sequently tho balance of trade will al
ways be in favor of Canada, but by
properly attending TO business here we
can get some of the defaulters TO settle
in this country, when we can beat them
out of the money they steal at our leis-
ure, as Canada does by our defaulters.
All that we want is TO have the Cana
dian dafoultarS fool that Amarioa iS n
home where they are safe, and the only
way to convince them is 10 advertise.
The Secretary OF State should at once
cause advertisements TO be inserted in
the Canadian papers calling attention
of bank cashiers TO the ease with which
| they can reach our borders with their
plumber. where customs inspectors will
| be instructed 10 ask no questions. Cir
| culars should at once be sent to every
bank cashier in the Dominion, giving
! the price of board, and the names OF
some of our best criminal lawyers,
with the percentage they will charge 10
assist cashier to evade our judges and
realize on their steal. Attention should
be called 10 the fact that society equal to
that which opens its arms to Emo in
Canada will be ready 10 receive Cana
| dian defaulters on their arrival, and
that everything will be done that can
be done TO make il pleasant for them.
This matter is 4 serious one, and the
administration could not do anything
that would bring more money into the
country than TO advertise our facilities
for the comfort of foreign defaulters. -
