BUYING WHITE BAn7Es.
A Number of Children sold to China
m.u in California

m"u in California.
The Introduction Of a bill at Sacrament
to giving Monaghan children legislative
right to the free schools of the State, and
recent developments concerning the
traffic in white toundlings, says a San
Francisco special to the New York Herald,
show that the perennial Chinese question
is about 20 assume another and most i'm
| pOrtant phase. The inceptive point of the
bill was the refusal by the Superintend-
/ ent of Schools to admit Mamie Tape. the
daughter of a naturaliZed Chinaman a
refusal which the Imperial Consul has
/ taken in belligerent spirit. In the dis
cusslOns following the Introduction of
the measure number of children affected
by the bill were naturally discovered. 1t
was claimed that the number was COM
paratively small, but the correspondent,
on investigation, has found that the
passage of the bill would mean the ad-
mission of between twelve and eighteen
hundred Chinese children to the public
schools OF San Francisco, the margin
being lett necessarily wide because OF the
great difficulty Of securing trustworthy
data.
1t is still more difficult to learn the ex-
act number of white babies sold by
abandoned mothers or asylum nurses to
l.
has been acquired during the past week
OF seven infants so sold into bondage. The
average price was $50 apiece. Only girls
are bought. White blonde babies COM
mand premium.
These facts-the determined fight to get
their children into the public schools, the
purchase of white girl babies, and the
secrecy surrounding the number of chill
dren now in ChinatOwn-all point to the
same shrewdly-conceived plan, a deter
mined effort to evade the restriction act.
Chinese officials acknowledge that the
palmY days of immigration are over. So
also they acknowledge the thorny nature
OF the thIck-set hedge surrounding the
arbOr Of naturalization. and with these
two barriers facing the present genera
ton they have set Systematically to work
to breed and rear second that shall en-
JOY the privileges withheld from the first.
The newspapers have entered on a
crusade against the practice of mothers
giving and selling their illegitimate babes
to the Chinese. A systematic traffic in
them has been going on for long time,
mainly through the agency of private
lyIng-in hospitals. Four cases of white
babes in the possession of the female pro-
prietOrs of Chinese dens have already
been discovered, and there are good
grounds for believing that there are
hundreds of others, but the Chinese, tear
ing discovery, have hid them out of sight.
One theory is that these female children
are purchased by Chinese spectators
and sent to China, where they are kept
until II years old, when they are sold to
rich Cinnamon for large sums to be placed
in their harems.

SPEED OF MEN AND HORSES
The Animal Far Superior in Short
Races and the Man in Long Ones.

me animal n ar superior IN snort
Races and the Man in Long Ones.
As regards speed for a mile or two, or
even seversl miles, says the Nineteenth
Century, there can be no COM
parison between the pace of horse and
that Of man on a bicycle. The horse is
far and away the speedier; but after
about twenty or twenty-five miles the
horse, it seems, begins to come back to
the man. The relative speed of horse and
man, quite unencumbered by weight, has
never been tried, as it is always neces-
sary to ride or drive a horse when he is
being tried.
But in comparing the best times on re-
cord of a trotting horse driven in a light
gig, as is the fashion in America, and a
man riding and propelling atwenty-seven
pound bicycle, the conditions, taking the
relative strength of the contestants into
consideration, may be thought tOlerably
equal. Maud S., Mr.. Nanderbilts cele-
brated horse, trotted one mile in 2;O9; the
champion time for bicycle is 2;39. Leav-
ing out intermediate distances, l ind
that Lady Mack did five miles in 1900;
Mr.. Hitler has ridden it on bicycle in
14:1S. Controller did ten miles in y :2314 !;
Mr.. English accomplished that distance
in 29:19 80. Twenty miles was done by
the horse Capt. MCGOWAN in 5o:25; Mr..
English, who holds the record for twenty
miles, accomplished it in 59:06 3-5. Twen-
ty miles we'll within the hour must surely
be looked on as a wonderful perform
ance. But after twenty miles the
man rapidly begins to 90 to the
front. The best fifty miles on re-
cord has been done by Ariel in
3 100 400: but Ion Keith-Falconer rode that
distance on a bicycle in 2:43:5S 80. Con-
querOr Travelled 100 miles in $3.50 :53; F..
r. Frye, on a bicycle, did 100 miles in
5:50:05 2-6. The same distance, 100 miles,
was done on the high road by George
Smith in 7:11:l0. The other times men
toned were performed on the cinder-path.
No trial has been recorded for a horse
beyond 100 miles. But a tricyclist has
ridden 222L miles in "A hours, and few
weeks agOia performer on a newly-invent-
ed little twO-wheeled machine of strange
appearance, called a kangaroo, trave led
266 miles within the same time. 1t is,
therefore, plain that in staying power a
man on a bicycle, or even on a tricycle.,
which is a much heavier machine, not
primarily adapted tor racing, is infinitely
superior to a horse. Probably up to
twenty-five miles the best horse would
beat the best bicyclist, but, after that
distance. Ele horse would, in yacht-racing
phrase, never see the way his adversary
want

FISH DENTISTRY.
How PredaceOus Fish Are Robbed of
Their Weapons.

How PredaceOus Ffsh Are Robbed of
Their Weapons.
The gist of story told by Seth Green
in the american Angler is contained in
the following: enhancing to glance at the
fish in an aquarium IN the window of a
confectionery establishment in Rochester.
\. Y, noticed that all the fish but one
bore scars of conflict. The fish were
California and brook trout, and the in
Juries were inflicted by one of the former.
1t seems that one of the trout was of a
sour, quarrelsOme disposition, and had
been in the habit of worrying the others
persistently. l suggested the removal of
the offending trout, as we are occasionally
troubled by such fellows among the trout
in the Caledonia fish ponds, and the usual
remedy IS to spear and make an end OF
the wOuld-be destroyer OF his fellow COM
paniOns. One of these quaTrelsOme
trout would otherwise wound and
cause the death of large
number of others. But the proprietor
objected to adopting the remedy sug-
gested, and trouble continued to exist ia
the aquarium. 1 revisited the establish
ment a day or two subsequently. Pro-
curing a pair Of pinchers | took the big
trout from the water and extracted its
teeth, and those that could not be drawn
l cut down with a knife, exercising as
much care as possible, so as not to inJure
the fish by handling. The offending fish.
although apparently none the worse for
the operation, ceased TO attack his COM
paniOns. 1 will say that the teeth of
trout are not used for the masticatiOn OF
food, but are intended TO aid the fish in
maintaining hold of its prey. Trout in
ponds and aquariums have therefore no
! actual need of teeth, for the reason that
they are not obliged to seek their own
food. The experiment l expected would
result in the death Of the fish, but l was
happily disappointed"

WARNED BY EARTHQUAKING
Small Game Alert for the Migratory Me
tiOn of the Ground.

Small Game Alert for the Migratory Me-
tiOn of the Ground.
Very probably not only fish but animals
and some birds, says Je6reH'S Life Of the
Fields, hear as much by the vibration OF
the earth as by the sound travelling in the
atmosphere, and depend as much upon
their immediate perception of the slight
est tremOr of the earth as upon recogni-
ton by the ear in the manner familiar to
ourselves.
When rabbits are out feeding in the
grass it is often possible to get quite close to
them by walking in this way, extremely
slow, and carefully placing the foot by
slow degrees upon the ground. The earth
is then merely pressed, and not stepped
upon at all, so that there is no jar. By
doing this | have often moved up within
gunshOt of rabbits without the least aid
FROM cover.
Once now and then have walked across
a field straight at rabbits. Something,
however, depends on the direction Of the
wind, for then the question of scent comes
in.
To some degree this is the same with
hares. 1t is certainly the case with birds,
as wood pigeons, a flock Of them, Will re-
main feeding only just the other side of
will rise instantly. So with rocks,
though they will not fly far if you are not
around.
cartridges certainly secure themselves
by their attention to the faint tremor of
the ground. Pheasants do so. too, and
make off, running through the underwood
long before any one is in sight.
The most sensitive birds are landrails
and it is difficult to get near them, for this
.
conceal an approaching person from them
as it cOnceals them from him, these birds
change their positions, no matter how
quietly he walks. Let him be as cunning
as he will, and thinks to cut off corners
and cross the landraiPs retreat, the bird
battles him nine times in ten. That it is
advised OF the direction the pursuer takes
by the vibration OF the surface is at least
probable.
Other birds sit and hope to escape by
remaining still till they detect the tremOT
coming direct toward them when they
rise.
Rain and dry weather change the sus-
ceptibility OF the surface to Yibrate, and
may sometimes in part account for the
wildness or apparent tameness of birds
and animals.
Should any one doubt the existence OF
such tremOrs he has only to lie on the
ground with his ear near the surface
but, being unused to the experiment, he
will at first only notice the heavier sounds,
as Of a wagon or a cart-hOrse.
In recent experiments with most deli
cate instruments devised to show the
cOsmic vibration of the earth, the move
ments communicated to it by the tides, or
by the ''pull" of the sun and moon, it has
been found almost impossible yet to carry
out the OBJECT so greatly are these move
ments Obscured by the ceaseless and in
explicable vibrations of the solid earth.
There is nothing unreasonable in the
supposition that, if an instrument can be
constructed to show these, the ears OF
animals and birds-living organisms, and
not iron and steel-shOuld be able to dis
cover the tremOrs Of the surface.

Paris Dispqtcb to the London Times.

Paris Dispatch 10 the London Times.
In the enYirOns of kairwan, the holy
city, there is a keeper of kOuba, or
shrine, who has introduced the telephone,
or Is about to do so, into the eXercies of
his functions in a singular and uneXpect-
ed manner. To understand the story, it
must be explained that this keeper is Of
French notwithstanding to a good Nor
man family Of Rouen, l believe-and the
son OF a Minister Of State under the
monarchy. He is 80 years Of age, and
has passed through the most curious eX-
periences. He was once priest of the
PremOnstranTs, whose principal mOnast-
cry is near AvignOn, and known as the
Convent de FrigOlet. 1t Will be remem-
bered that, on the execution Of the anti
clerical DEGREES. Gen. BillOt was obliged
10 Law siege to this monastery, and the
clericals revenged themselves on him
bv nicknaming him "Duc de FrigOlet."
Our keeper OF the kOuba, after leaving
the FrigOlet Monastery, became Trap
pist at the Abbey OF StaOnelli, in
Algeria. After a time he left the
abbey and proceeded to Tunis,
where he turned Mussulman, and settled
al KairWan, where he lived until the
entry of the French into Tunis. He
rendered at the time some service to his
native country, and was invested with
the charge of a kOuba, slightly owing, 1
believe. to French lnHueuct. ne sp6a ,
Arabic admirably, breaches on the Koran
with great JUNCTION, and enjoys renown
for his wisdom among the Arabs. The
verv intelligent French Minister Resident,
NJ. CambOm, has probably not neglected to
cultivate him and take advantage OF his
influence in the interest OF his country,
However, for the present, the Keeper OF
the kOuba lives on the offerings OF the De-
hevers who visit the shrine.
The revenues from such source are
| necessarily small, and il has occurred 80
the in genious Frenchman that teie-
phone might render him real service. AS
| the Arab pilgrims come TO consult the
saint. the keeper is about TO install d
| telephone in the kOuba, which will convey
| TO him in his chamber the questions put
| to the saint and return his own replies.
Besides the material advantages which
| this mode OF performing his ministry
might bring him, he knows that he would
produce a deep and salutary impression
on the minds of the faithful, for whom the
modus operandi would long remain a
! dread mystery. This is an distance OF
how inventions often produce results and
are adapted to purposes which their in
ventOrs little dream Of. How easily
might one find an explanation OF many
| events at the dawn Of history Whlch
were held TO be supernatural or mar

Approving Mr.. CIeveland,s Partner

BUFFALO, Feb. 4.-The Express this
morning advocates the appointment of
Wilson S. Bissell, Mr.. Cleveland's former
law partner, to a place in the Cabinet.
The reason assigned is that Mr.. Cleveland
Will need men whose interest will centre
in the success of his administration, rath-
er than those whose business chiefly would
be making plans to become his successor.
During the campaign Mr.. Bissell was re-
garded as one of Cleyeland's most trusted
advisers. Chairman WarTen's paper this
afternoon says: eff our Endorsement
would tend to promote this movement in
Mr.. BisselPs behalf he should have it.
Mr.. Bissell is a resident of Buffalo, and
that his appointment is urged by Repub-
lican journals are the weakest arguments
that can be used with Mr.. Cleveland in
favor of any candidate; but we don't
know why he should not have the moral
courage to appoint a Buffalo man to the
Cabinet. Fillmore was not afraid to
