While the committee was gone Mr..
John T. Ensor, of Baltimore county,
made speech. He said the Democrats
had started out by being free traders,
but were now hedging. At heart they
were free traders. They stood ON free

A Steel Cable In China.

A remarkable engineering feat has just
been carried out in China in the face of
unusual physical obstacles. This was the
stretching Of a steel cable of seven strands
across the Luan river by Mr.. A. de Linde,
a Danish engineer, aided only by I'M
skilled Chinese labor. The cable is strung
from two points 4,6is feet apart. The
height Of n support is 447 feet above
the present level Of the river and the Sec
ond support 737 feet above it. The vertex
over the water is s~eventy-eight feet. The
Chinese cable is the longest but one in the
world. The telegraph air cable across
the Kistna has a span Of 5,07O feet; two
similar cables cross the Ganges, one {. 300
and the other 1850 feet. A third line Of
1,135 feet crosses the Hooghly, and in
the United States there is one over the
Missouri Of 1000 feet. Indian Engi-

JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY.
1As Meaning OF Some OF the Figures Seen
on Jars and Fans.

The creation was, according TO ira
dition, brought about in this wise. In
me dim ages Of the past there existed a
trinity who dwelt in space. Later came
other deities (Kami), with separate
~existences, and after seven generations
begotten from them, the creation, which
was confined TO Japan, was decided on
and carried through in six stages, almost
similar TO those in our Pentateuch, the
work being delegated to Isanaghi and
his sister, Isanami. From the goddess
sprang certain terrestrial deities, among
whom were Ama-terasu, the beautiful
goddess Of the sun lsukoyumi, the
goddess of the moon, and Susano, god Of
the wind.
A story which finds frequent illustra-
ton in japanese art is that of the quarrel
between Ama-terasu and her brother and
her consequent retirement to a cave,
whence she was invGigled by the dancing
of a goddess, variously named Okame,
Ouzoume, or Uzume. 1t is narrated at
length in Grifis' ''Nhkado's Empire"
and Reeds ''Japln," and is m Of the
fairy stories recently published IN a de-
hghtfully illustrated form as u child's
book under the title of ''Yamata-no-
Orochi." Masks of the fair dancer are
TO be found in every curio shop. The
features upon these masks are always
similar and have been handed down for
e~enturies-a narrow forehead adorned
with imperial spots Of sable. pulled out
cheeks, dimpled chin and laughing coun-
tenance. One Of them is usually to be
seen in every Japanese house. In her
full length figures she usually carries in
her hands a bundle of reeds and a dart
bound round with herbs and little bells.
Many ancient customs still exist which
originated in this quarrel, notably the GO
hei, or branches adorned with bits Of
silk and paper, which are hung in all
Shinto places of worship, the drum upon
which Ouzoume danced and the cocks
who now inhabit the precincts of the
temple, and which were then engaged to
attract Ama-terasu's attention by crow
ing in concert. So. to-. the cord Of rice
straw, which keeps sway the visits Of
evil spiritsv and the sacred Furnished cir
sular mirror, wherei the goddess beheld
her likeness. and W ich is the origin Of
the round mirror o metal which japan
csc women sill use as their only looking
glass. The dancing of Ouzoume before
the cavern is initiated in the pantomimic
dance still practiced in every japanese
village. Another frequent subject for
Illustration is Susano killing the eight
headed dragon after he had induced him
10 partake Of sake set in eight jars. His
exploit is depicted upon the bank notes of
the country. A sword, which he found
in the tail of the dragon, is II of the
three sacred emblems in the imperial re-
gala. He was the father Of Dalkoku,
the god of good fortune.-Art Journal.

Utilizing Waste Leather.

A most interesting feature of all bust
nesses using leather is that not one par
ticle Of the leather is wasted. Our shoe
factories alone sell annually fifty tons of
waste. This goes mainly TO a firm in
Philadelphia, who pays 81 a ton for it.
A large amount is sent to Lynn, Mass,
and other points, where the leather is
ground up, mixed with a medium and
pressed into buttons. The remainder
that is not SO used is treated chemically,
turned into a gelatinous mass, dried and
ground into a fertilizing dust. The sole
leather pieces that fall from the block
of the heel stamper are sorted into two
heaps. The very fine pieces are put with
the fine waste. The scraps, presenting a
surface of a couple of square inches, are
barreled up and sold to parties in New
York or Boston at n cent a pound,
where they are put through a peculiar
machine. This instrument splits the
pieces nearly through. Then it opens the
piece thus cut like a book. Thence it is
delivered from between rollers, and is
large enough to be again sent to the fac
tory to be cut up into heel lifts.-Balti-

symbols in the Catacombs.

The following symbols, borrowed from
the Scriptures, were frequently repre-
sented in the Catacombs, and relate to
the virtues and duties Of the Christian
life: The dove. with or without the olive
branch, the type of simplicity and inno-
cence: the ship, representing sometimes
the church as safely sailing through the
flood Of corruption. with reference to
Eoah's ark, sometimes the individual
soul on its voyage To the heavenly home
under the conduct of the storm control-
ing Saviour; the palm branch, which
the seer OF the Apocalypse puts into the
hands of the elect as the sign If victory:
the anchor. the figure Of hope; the Tyre.
denoting festal Joy, sweet harmony: the
cock, an admonition TO watchfulness.
with reference TO Peters fall; the hart
which pants for the fresh water brooks;
and the vine, which, with Its branches
and clusters. illustrates the union of the
Christians with Christ according to the
parable John XIV, 1-G), and the richness
and fullness Of Christian life. -Professor
Philip Schaff in The Century.

Human Curiosity in Austria.

A remarkable case of disease is at pres
ent ~engrossing the attention Of medical
men in Austria. There is lying at the
hospital of the city of lschI a patient af-
hicted with a bony excrescence protrud-
ing from between the lower cervical ver-
tebrae. The excrescence has the form
Of a horn, is round and straight, with q
diameter of one and a half inches. II
has grown to a length of about eight
inches. and would probably have been
much longer by this time but for the fact
that the point was broken off several
times TO be sent to the ~pathologic insti-
tute Of Vienna for examination. There
is no feeling il. the horn, the breaking off
Of the points, which the patient did him
self, causing him no pain whatever. At
the root where the horn is attached to the
spinal column il is soft and movable, but
it rapidly grows hard and is like bone at
a short distance from the GOT. Foreign

Fortified Monster in Iowa.

The petrified remains Of a huge ami"
NAL have been discovered near Percy.
Ia. by a man named S, r. Dawson. 1t
was lying beneath the surface on the
bank Of the Dies Moines river. The total
length of the body measures, without the
head. over forty feet. The head was de-
tached from the body, and when dis
covered was some distance away from it.
At nine feet from the end of the tail it
measured four feet six inches in width.
In support Of his theory that this is the
petritied remains of some extinct monster,
Mr.. Dawson, in describing the find, shows
that it is entirely unlike the stone forma-
ton in the vicinity. A spar of quartzite
formation was discovered in the locality
where the blood vessels and intestinal
canal should be, and another formation
was found in other parts. The remains
were in a bed of dark blue stone sur
rounded by petrifed remains of insects
and other animals. Mr.. Dawson is con-
fdent that the monster belonged to the
carboniferous age.-Demorest' Monthly.

Historian Bancroft's Longevity.

Mr.. George Bancroft accounted for HIS
own longevity the other day with three
reasons: First, that he was the middle
child in his fathers family, equally dis
tant from the youngest and the oldest;
second, that he had always gone to bed
at 10 o'clock, unless il had been impossi-
BILE; and. third, that he had always spent
tour hours in each day in the open air,
unless prevented by a storm. lie added
that his riding, Of which the newspapers
had made 80 much, vas primarily for
the purpose Of being out Of doors, and
not Of being ON horseback. Frank

Australian Bush Life.

Practical jokes are very often played
on a sheep station, especially on new
chums. The most awkward horse is
given 10 the newcomer, and the result
eagerly watched for. Perhaps the Aus
tralian chuck jumper is the most diff
cult horse in the world 10 sit. He allows
himself TO be mounted quietly. and then
puts his nose between his knees. arches
his back like a cat, and usually unseats
his rider. They are sometimes taught to
buck jump, and strangers are challenged
TO ride them. Some can even buck right
out of the saddle without bursting the
girths. and leave their rider behind on
the ground. The black fellows in a sta
ton are very expert riders. and will keep
their seats after the saddle has gone.-

Fish Frozen for shipment.

Frozen fish are imported into Mar
settles by a society formed for the pur-
pose. A steamer lately brought there
some thirty six tons Of frozen fish in its
hold, the temperature Of which had been

machine e%vaporating sulphuric acid. The
fish are caught with the net in various
parts OF the Mediterranean and Atlantic.
After arrival they are dispatched by

An Elephapt's Brain.

Cornell college desired an elephants
brain, and it fortunately secured one. p.
7. Barnum was the donor and the recent
fire at Bridgeport, Conn.,, the cause Of his
generosity. They hardened the brain
while it remained in the skull by con-
tinual injection. the same method EN-
ployed with the brain of the Elmira muir
derer. The method originated with this
college and prevents the distortion fol-
lowing the removal and subsequent
hardening of the brain. 1t is done in the
following manner: All the vessels ex-
cept the vertebral and the carotid arteries
are tied. and these are connected by rub
Der tubes with a tank containing diluted
alcohol, which is arranged at a proper
height to allow the fluid to slowly flow
through the brain substance. The study
of the brain is Yet to be made, and the
result is awaited with interest. Animal
trainers, especially those Of elephants,
claim that they possess little reasoning
power, and we do not imagine in conse-
quence that the result will benefit any
thing but comparative anatomy.-The

that whoever should drop from the bar
upon one Of the animals as it rushed out

of Mr.. Anton Reymann in the following
complimentary manher:
"That man Reymann, Of Wheeling, is @
hustler" said a gentleman from the West
Virginia metropolis, this morning. HE
has been over a good part of the world, and
will make Lakeview more than ever a fine
resort. He is worth a cool million or so
and / regard the transfer of some OF his in
terests to Canton az a notable event in the
history of the town. He is a big
hearted German, and tull of push and
public enterprise. He has done as
much for Wheeling as any other rich man
in the place. He has other people inter.
ested with him here. You Can look out
for landscape and floral Identification on a
large scale. Where liquor is sold on the
grounds you may expect to see strict po-
lice surveillance. The place will, If his
Wheeling interests indicate, he run on a
first class basis. / would not be surprised
TO see Mr.. Reymann make other large IN
yestments in Canton. He has great conf
dence in its immediate great growth. But
