Ancient Roman Plank Roads.

The Prussian minister of education, Von Gossler, having learned that Professor F. Knoke had lately found traces of old Roman plank roads on the moor between Mehrholz and Bragel, not far from Diepholz, in lower Hanover, invited that gentleman to fully in- vestigate the matter. He has just completed the task. He was able to trace the lines of two parallel plank roads right across the moor, presenting all those distinctive feat ures which are found in Roman works of this kind. One of them shows evident signs of having been demolished by force, the boards, which were originally fastened with pegs to the bearers, having been violently torn away and buried in the bog to the right and left of the track.
 The other road seems to have fallen into decay, but there are signs of repairs executed even during the Roman period; for in places boards have been found fastened over the original blanks, the fashion of both being the same Those repairs seem to have been car ried out hastily, for in one place mallet, employed probably to drive home the pegs, was found on the track, forgotten, no doubt, by the worlmen. The local archaeologists feel assured that they have here the pontes longi which were used A. D. 15 by the Roman commander A. C@cina in his retreat from Germany to the Ems. s.-Scienti6c American.

ALL READY FOR WAR.

The Galena Only Waiting for the Word
 Go and Others Prepared to Follow-Ger-
 many Now Has Bone to Pick with HaYti.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The corvette Galena lies with slips on her hawsers at the Cob dock at the Brooklyn navy yard, all her boats are on their davits and she is ready for sea-
 Yesterday afternoon Commander Sumner received his sailing orders from Washington, and it is therefore quite likely that the Ga lena will start for Hayti to-day.
 Orders were issued yesterday to grant no further leave to any of the crew.
 The Yantic will be ready for sea by Thurs day, and it is quite probable that she will follow the Galena to Port au Prince.
 Other vessels are arriving at the navy yard, and the Atlanta and Chicago are also being armed and manned.
 The new steel cruiser Chicago now lies close to the Galena, and a crowd of men were putting her big steel guns on board
 The opinion is held by many in naval circles that by the time the expedition reaches Hayti it will be fouud that the seized steamer has been burned. It is therefore quite likely that the sealed orders sent to Ad- miral Luce relate to this contingency. If the vessel has been scuttled the admiral has in structions to settle the question in accord ance with his own ideas He will simply have to appraise the value of the destroyed property and demand reimbursement. Then, if they refuse to comply, he has instructions, it is understood, to Lombard the town.
 It seems not unlikely that the Haytians may be treated to a taste of Bismarckian diplomacy unless they conclude to settle a claim for damages presented by the captain | of German steamer. A prominent shipping house in this city received letter on Satur- day dated Port au Prince, Nov. 29, in which the writer, 8 captain of one of its vessels, says: IA German steamer has just arrived here, and hear that she had a collison of St. Marc with a Haytian gunboat, due to the awkward seamanship of the latter's crew. She had hole punched in her bow and her forward compartment was filled with water She steamed into the harbor very much by the head, and was run aground to prevent her from sinking.

REVENGE OF A PoETEss.
Minna Irving at Last Gets Palmer Wells
 Behind Prison Bars.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Miss Minna Irving, accompanied by her mother, came to New York yesterday morning intent on having her once first favorite and now alleged hus- band, Palmer Benedict Wells, immured in a dreary dungeon cell All the suppressed anger exploded by the time Miss Irving reached No 12S Broadway. 1T want Wells arrested" said the poetess excitedly, as she hounced into Lawyer Leonaroi's office
 Then she scolded, pleaded and expostulated, and left angrier than ever with Lawyer Leonard for not having Wells hanged, drawn and quartered year ago. So she hounced out of the office again and sought MT. An thony Comstock, to whom she showed an anonymous and illustrated letter, which she says was sent to her last week by ''that mon ster of depravity," as she calls him.
 About 3:30 o'clock yesterday atternsSn Commissioner Shields signed the order for arrest, and short time afterward a burly United States marshal entered Mir. Wells office and executed the warrant.
 "I expected this" quietly remarked the and accompanied the marshal first to Com missioner Shields office and then to Ludlow Street jail
 'I protest that did not write that letter. said the young man to reporter. ''I have written letters to Minna under impulse which I regret. But then there has been some excuse for them. For instance when a fellow demonstrates with his wife for a pro- tracted absence, without his knowledge of her whereabouts, and she answers him in a fippant note, saying that she is enjoying her. self, with Ia young officer as her guest" is he likely to feel amiables
 MT. Wells showed the reporter the flippant note, and continued:
 I'm getting very weary of this style oi thing, and I don't intend to stand it any longer. Minna's freak. She lawns on 6 man one day and hates him the next. There seems to be something of the Jekyll and Hyde in her nature"

A Boy with & Big Head.

TITUsvILLE, Pa, Dec. 11-Living on farm near Cherrytree, six miles from here, is Ralph Alcorn, boy 13 years old, who has the largest head for his years on record in this state. Three years ago his measure ment was for an SA hat. Two years later his head had grown to require an s11a. Last season an s5s dicer was ordered for him, while this week Ss4 was the size required. The boy is very bright and quick witted, has a wonderful memory, is good looking, well built, weighs 10S pounds and, though it is very large, his head is regular in shape and perfectly formed. In playing he is obliged to abstain from running, for, as he says, he is liable to become overbalanced and to fall The physicians say that in the end he will experience no inconvenience from his big head, as the body will in time catch up with the head and thus even matters.

A Cyclone Coming North.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1L-Sergt Dunn, of the weather bureau in this city, stated yesterday that there was a cyclone in the neighborhood of the Gulf Stream, and that it was gradu- ally working its way northward along the Atlantic coast. He also vouchsafed the in- formation that it would be hazardous for vessels destined for southern ports to start out to-day unless they were of the stanchest order, and even they must keep clear of the Gulf Stream Last evening the cyclone had got as far north as the latitude of the Caro- inas, and was following the track of the Gulf Stream. Cautionary signals are dis played along the coast as far north as Charles ton. There was also heavy wind storm in the northwest, its center over the straits of MackinaW
