BISMARCK ON samoa.
He Says Consul Knappe Lacked
Caimness and CooIness.

BERLIN, March 22.-The government has
issued white book on Samoan affairs.
Prince Bismarck wrote Herr Steubel, the
newly appointed Consul of Germany to Sa-
moa, describing the conduct of DR.. Knappe
his predecessor, as lacking calmness and
GOODNESS. contrary to the lines of Emperor
Williams policy, with which DIR. Knappe
was well acquainted. Dr. Knappe, Bismarck
wrote, apparently lost his head, owing to the
letter from Herr Brandeis, Tamasese's
prime minister, and the presence Of three
men-of-war at Samoa. Referring to DIR.
Knappe and his proposal to annex Samoa.
Bismarck reiterates his view that to effect
the change in the political situation in Sa-
moa without the consent Of England and
America, would not accord with treaty ar
rangements. DR.. Knappe's reverting to the
question Of annexation was lncomprehensl-
Bile. Or. knappe justified the arrest Of the
Englishman Gallien on the ground that the
latter recommended Mataafa to Grey, ex-
governor of New Zealand, for assistance.
Investigation proved that Gallien was not
aware of the significance Of his acts.

SETTLEMENT OF THE GREAT HEARsE CUES
TION.
The PRESS Of March 2lst, contains an edi-
torial from piece found in the Bath Times
concerning the relations between the new
and old Boothbay, and accuses the citizens Of
Boothbay Harbor of violating the trust i'm
posed ON them by the legislature this win
ter, by contending for the possession Of the
hearse. Your correspondent attended both
of tine recent town meetings and knows
whereof he speaks At the town meeting
held at Boothbay Harbor, March 4th, an ar
ticle was inserted in the warrant, viz: To
see what action the town will take In regard
to hearsa, which after some discussion was
tabled. This meeting adjourned TO April
10th.
The annual meeting Of the old town oc-
Cured on the 18th inst, and article 80 read;
to see If the town will vote to let the hearse
to the town of Boothbay Harbor That ar
ticles was dismissed, certainly not an un-
common occurrence in that meeting" And
after disposing of article "a, it was voted to
reconsider the vote whereby article 80 had
been dismissed, and on motion Of the chair
man of the board of selectmen ii was voted
to let the hearse when not in use to the town
Of Boothbay Harbor for period not ex-
ceeding six months at a sum to be affixed by
the seleetmen. These are the facts. Does
it look as though the confidence OF the legis
lature had been MISPLACED?

| Bridge in India.
The story of the maggot which hored into
| the metals on the German railways is re-
called by the following paragraph in a Liv-
erpool paper: Down at LeasOwe, at the
mouth of the Mersey, there are soft, muddy
banks left uncovered at low tide, which are
full OF boring moluscs of a most peculiar
appearance. On Hiber Island there is Il
larger shell-fsh which bores into the sand.
stone, while the limestone rocks at Putin
Island and the Great Ormes Head are
almost riddled by the curious borers 1t
used to be thought that they made their
dwelling place in the rocks by means Of a
chemical secretion, and many students still
hold to that idea in spite of the existence of
such borers in mud and sandstone: but a
note published in Indian Engineering casts a
new light on the subject A bridge built
IN India scarcely a year ago has been at
tackled by these shell-tish, and the bricks
between high and low water have been
bored to depth of liz inch from their ex-
posed surface A specimen brick shows
forty-fire small holes of about Lilo inch di-
ameter but if the inside of the brick IS ex-
amined, it is found that these small per
forations lead to chambers about / u inch
depth bYune- third inch in diameter, bored
II right angles to the face of the brick.
The vitrifed, over-burnt parts of these
bricks have been bored as well as the softer
parts, so that the attack of the mollusc IS
not entirelydue to bad burning of the bricks
