PARSONS. Kas April 5.-The situa-
ton is steadily improving and all trains
are moving free. The best of the old
force are applying for work and forty of
them have been re employed. The master
mechanic has a surplus of applications
from new men, but giving the old en-
ploycs the preference.
4 statement from the General Commits
ST. LorIs. April 5.-Mr. HAYES, third
member Of the general executive commit
tee Knights vi Labor, arrived here to-
night, giving the committee a quorum.
Shortly after Mr.. Hayes arrived the gen
eral committee went into secret session
with the local committee aud gave the
situation a very full and exhaustive dis
c%ussion, weighing all facts and giving all
points careful consideration. The meet
ing lasted until after midnight, when the
following was given u in the form of a
statement to the public At a confer
ence held in New York with Jay Gould
and associates and the general executive
committee, the following was mutually
agreed upon That the officials were
willing to meet a committee Of our EN-
ployes without discrimination, who are
actually in the employ of the road at the
time such committee is appointed. and
adjust with them any grievances
they may have. The executive board
upon arriving IN St. Louis have
been informed that Mr.. Hoxie had re
fused to comply with the agreement, as
all parties to the conference understood it,
waited upon him to ascertain his inten.
tons of carrying out the same, and re-
ceived the following reply; That only so
per cent. of the former force would be re-
employed; that he would consider per
sonal applications only, and use his own
pleasure in acting upon them. without the
dictation of any society," This being in
direct violation of the agreement, the gem
eral board believe that the refusal is for
the purpose of stock jobbing, using the
organization as a veil to further their
ends. We therefore recall the order
given men to return to work, the road
having made it impossible to fulfill the
same.
The matter now stands as il did before
the order to resume work was issued, in
the hands of those districts interested, and
the general board will render all assistance
to carry out the demands of the men for
justice.
"Wo anticipate no especial demonstra-
tons Tomorrow said Mr.. Turner to a
reporter, "and no particular change in
the aspect of affairs. Things are simply
as they were before.

Some Features of Washington Life.

Many of the smaller instrumentalitie
of this city are in very good condition;
the schools have been much improved
since the war, and some think that the
public schools of Washington are as good
as any in the country. There is re-
spectacle district militia, well main
tanned. The fire department of the city
is as good as can be found anywhere
er better than they can be found any
where in America, possibly excepting
Boston. see more varieties of carriages
here, writes Gath, than in any city in the
globe, perhaps. The patent pavements
of the town allow carryalls, chariots, her
dies, hansoms, bicycles, gigs, tandem
teams and what not. The great old roll
ing carriage called the landau is not as
often seen as formerly. Considerable pri-
vate equipage is in Washington. With
all this show there is a fair democratic
conservatism among the new strangers.
l heard rather pretty story not long ago
of major-general of the British army,
who came here on visit from India, and
a prominent man, who was not in poll
tics, to whom the stranger brought let
ter, put him in his fine carriage and took
him everywhere. The Englishman said
one day: ~ see that some Of these car
r1sges have drivers in livery suits, while
yours has not"
'No, sir, said the man; 81 never put
my driver in livery, because 1 have a lit
tie superstition about it, 1 am specu-
lator and have my ups and downs, and it
occurred to me that some day or other l
might die poor and that my son might
have to drive one of these carriages; and
/ think 1 would not like to see him in
that kind of livery uniform"

FOOIscan Paner.

Paper of this kind and size had from
the thirteenth to the seventeenth cen
tury, a water-mark representing FOOLS
head, ornamented with a cap and bells,
such as the testers of the old nobility
used to wear. 1t has been intimated that
the idea was suggested by a corruption
of the Italian name for this size of paper
-foliO-capo, meaning folio-sized sheet.
But this not probable, as such an error
would not have occurred except among
those speaking the English language,
and this paper was not made in England
until nearly the close of the sixteenth
century. Up to that time it was manu-
factured in France, Italy, and the Meth
erlands only. The use of the foolscap
water-mark was given up about the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century,

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Proctor argues that every celestial body
must at some time pass through a life
supporting period.
Bodily exercise greatly increases the
activity of the lungs. 1t cannot, there
fore, be truly beneficial to the whole
system, unless carried on in pure air.
The island of Arran, off the west coast
of Scotland, is said to be so mild that
palms and camelias thrive in the open air
without injury, in winter, although the
latitude is that of the northern part of
Labrador, on the continent.
Extensive experiments are to be made
by the government of Tasmania in natur-
aLzing European fishes, such as Holsters,
crabs, turbot and brill, in the waters of
that country. Similar trials have been
very successful in New Zealand and Aus
tralia.
The weather service in Great Britain
appears to be in somewhat unsatisfac-
tory condition. Statistics obtained by
the house of lords show that during
period of ten years 100 unprotected
storms visited the British coast, or an
average of one storm a month.
practical reality, large establishment
for the manufacture of rails of compressed
paper being projected at st Petersburg.
Among the advantages claimed for this
material are extreme durability, a cost
about one-third as great as steel, light
ness, greater adhesion to the driving
wheels of the engine, and reduction in
the wear and tear of both the road and
the rolling stock.
An analysis of the contents of the prin-
cipal grenades, tubes and other patent
devices for the extinction of incipient
conhagrations has recently been made by
Professor Kedzie, chemist of the agricul-
tuTal college at Lansing, Mich. He finds
that the only active ingredient in all that
he analyzed is common salt, and his in
vestigations go to prove what is generally
known, namely, that salt water is better
than fresh water for putting out fires.
The weight of scientific opinion now
favors the view that "fying fish" do not
fly. The muscles of fish in birds do not
average in weight one-sixth of the whole
body, those of bats one-thirteenth, while
those which have been supposed to en-
able the fishes to fly are only one-thirty-
second. The impulse to the propulsion
of the flying fish is probably delivered
while they are still in the water by the
exceptionally powerful muscles which
