CRUISING"


A correspondent is solicitous that some
thing should be done to check the "pugil-
istic craze" that has so seized upon the Cali
fornia communities Heshould not "worry.n
DOR experience has demonstrated that the
short road to remedy all extravaganza of
that kind is through the lane of "let
alone" The forces that maintain these
'crazes' expend themselves soonest when
not resisted by assault. An organized
and persistent effort to check this fever of
nose-smashing might but add to the lease
of its life. 1t is fire that is best not blown
upon, because it will as certainly smolder
and die, as that the sun will shine after
the night passes. To be sure, pugilism
VIII continue, but not necessarily the
feyered craze of the present. Pugilism as
sport in athletics is quite as old as civili-
cation. Theseus is accorded the honor of
introducing boxing as an invention, and
Homer dwelt upon the contests of fists and
muscles In which Hercules and Pollux and
tabled heroes engaged. The light glove of
this day is as down and velvet compared
10 the "cestus" of dried cow-hide studded
with iron and leaden knobs that the
boxers of the ancient prize rings wore. 1t
rs now a hundred and forty years and
more, since the brutal and brutalizing
hghting as we know it in this day, was in
thing, the contests of the present are
greatly milder than those that the
English encouraged in the last GEN.
tury. Boxing will continue to be a
rude, vulgar and brutalizing sport in
some circles, and in others it is
and may be confined to rational system
of instruction in the art of using the
limbs for self-defense in fsticuffs. and in
wrestling, and into which neither brutal
lty or coarseness may enter. But as for
the present craze that feeds upon the ex-
eitement of bruising matches between fell
lows, who, as rule, are fit for little less
than animal contests, and who will pres
emily be as much in disfavor as they are
now in demand, it will have its decadence.
and is best left to expend itself. Half
dozen years ago or SO an effort was made in
all the States to suppress it and to deter
mine the exact point at which bruising
must cease, and to fix the line up to which
1t might be permitted to 90 on. But the
attempt only whetted the appetite for
brutal exhibitions, and the law has latter
iy not much interfered through its officers
to prevent the bruising fraternity from
battering each other into insensibilitv and
even into death. No issue is possible as to
the demoralizing influence of these bruis
ing matches; among thoughtful citizens
there can be but one judgment reached re-
garding them. But when it comes to rem
edies we incline strongly to the belief that
communities will soonest be rid of the
craze by getting "a full stomach of it."
when the inevitable reaction will set in.

The Inflated Steamer Said to Have Beer
Strong Iron Vessel

StIOuS IRON SesSel.
PHILADELPHIA, April 16th.-Captain Smith. of
the British steamer La Flandre, which arrived
this afternoon from Antwerp was commander
OF the Inflated Danmark before her change of
ownership, and was much concerned when he
learned of the disaster which is said to have
overtaken that vessel. Captain Smith, when
questioned, said the Danmark was q re-
markably strong vessel. She was built in
water-tight compartments, had water tanks
from the bridge aft, and was extra
braced with iron about her upper works 'In
fact he added, ''she was one of the strongest
bu 1t vessels / was ever in. l commanded her
when she was sold, just previous to her last
trip, and was chief officer prior to that, and
would not wish to sail in better ship" Cap
tain Smith said further, that he had crossed
very close to where the snip was sighted. IF
the boats were picked up" he continued, 'by a
sailing vessel her proper course would be to start
for the Irish Channel Of course no sailing
vessel would continue her voyage with such a
crowd on board unless the port she was bound
to was the most easily reached. 1t would take
longer for vessel TO make the Azores than to
reach the Irish coast from where the Danmark
was seen, because the wind would be mostly
ahead. The distance to the Fastnet Light
would be about 100 miles, and with the south
winds we have here q sailing vessel ought to
make it in about eighty days."

ST. PAUL'5 STREET OARS.
The Legislature Takes . Hand In the
Strike.

ST. PAUL, April 16th-The street-car strike in
st Paul has reached the Legislature, and has
been acted upon by that body this afternoon,
the City Railway Company being knocked out
in the first round. This is the fourth day OF the
strike, and no attempt has been made to start
the cars or otherwise accommodate the public.
The Legislature probably acted more promptly
than il would otherwise have done. The matter
came up in the shape of bill by willrich,
which repeats the previous Act validating the
old ordinance, giving the st. Paul City Railway
Company the exclusive privileges of streets in
this city. and the bill was passed by vote of &C
TO Is. The effect of this legislation, which will
probably Pass the Senate. is TO throw open the
matter of the exclusive right to the streets and
leave the decision of that matter 10 the Courts

There will be strife, contention and riot,
and to prevent all this. SO far as can be
done, several battalions of regulars have
been sent into the region. Their task
will not be an easy one, and it will not be
possible, no matter how diligent they may
be, for the soldiers to prevent all outrage,
wrong and bloodshed. We may look for

outrage upon human rights when the

the rising and the setting of the sun.

SMUT OF OATS.

The smut of oats-said by Manches-
ter, (Mich.) inquirer to be very badly in
furious throughout-is caused by the
fungus Ustilago segetum) which feeds on
the panicles, and develops a great quan-
tity of dark brown spores. These are
waited about by wind, and if they fall
upon other oat plants under the proper
condition smut will again be produced.
AS preventive, it is we'll to practise ro-
tation, and never raise two oat crops in
succession on the same land. The seed
used should be plump, well filed and free
from smutted kernels. It is a common
practice in some sections to soak the seed
for thirty-six hours in one pound of cop
per sulphate, dissolved in four gallons of
water; this destroys any adhering spores,
and will greatly lessen, and perhaps pre-
vent, attack of the smut. A solution of
one pound caustic potash in six gallons of
water is thought to be as effectual, and
it requires only half the time of soaking.
On being taken out of the solution the
seed should be rolled in ashes, lime or
plaster. When once established on the
plants no application can avail.-Ne,c

coTToN-sEED MEAL FOR COWS.

The agricultural department at Wash
mgton has been making an analysis of
butter from cows fed on cotton seed meal,
which produces unlocked for results. The
analysis showed remarkable points: 1. A
low percentage of vegetable acids. 2. A
phenomenally high melting point. 8. A
strong persistence of the reducing agent.
The first point issof importance as show
ing that mixing cotton seed with the feed
OF COWS in the South will tend to raise
the melting point of butter, thus render
ing it more suitable for consumption in
hot climates. Professor Wiley saws:
"From an analytic point of view the re-
suits are of great importance, since they
show that butter derived from COW fed
on cotton seed meal might be condemned
as adulterated when judged by the amount
of volatile acids present. Since cotton
seed meal is destined to be cattle food
of great importance, especially in the
southern part of the United States, this
is fact of the greatest interest. - Che

The Famous PeachblOw Vase.

The famous peachblow vase was i'm.
ported from China at cost of $40, 900.
Mrs. Mary J. Morgan, of New York.
bought it for $4,000. Its history is
thus related by correspondent: ''The
next step in the history of the vase was
its sale with the effects to Mrs. Mary J.
Morgan on March 8, 1886. While ex
hibiting it in the galleries, the curiosity
excited was very great. Some persons
even asked the privilege of kissing it,
since, they said, they could not own it.
Groups of people were always gathered in
front of the vase, and made many and
various remarks aboutit Expressions Of
surprise over its reported value were most
frequent. Finally when the day of the
sale arrived, there was tiptoe of excite.
ment over the matter. The auctioneel
pointed to the modest thing and asked il
he could have bid of $4,000 for it. A,
this price it was started, and crept up
gradually until it reached SIS, 900, a
which it was knocked down-but to
whom? This question has never We,
been satisfactorily answered. Among
those who were bidding for the
vase was Mr.. Sutton, of the Amer,
can art galleries. His instructions
were not to pay more than $40, 900 fo,
the vase. It was sold for SIS, 900, and
MIR. Sutton was the buyer. It has beer
said that he bought the vase for himself,
but he did not. He bought it under in.
structions for William T. Walters, of Bal.
timore, and the little treasure is now in
that city, where it now rests in a closet,
hidden away from the eyes even of Mr..
Walterss friends. A few days after the
sale Mr.. Walters denied having bought
it, according to correspondent of the
1r7buue. The only explanation given Of
this evasion has been that Mr.. Walters
was afraid of the notoriety which the pos
session would give him. He refused tc
have his name connected with the pur-
chase, but it is, nevertheless, fact that
he mas it now, but he probably does not
get much comfort from its possession

WATER FOR BEES.

Persons owning bees and not located
near streams of water should furnish them
fresh water daily, as it will save time
which, to the bee, means honey, as it
means money to person. The way
they frequent wells and cisterns shows
that they prefer water fresh to stale, and
they appear to enjoy slipping it from
gravel and sand. l have used milk
crooks filled with gravel and sand, but,
on the whole, prefer wooden kegs with
cloth put in them, hanging over the sides,
acting as syphons. The bees sip water
from the sunny side of the kegs. The
kegs should be washed out frequently,
and one should be IA little brackish, about
teaspoonful to pail of water.-Prairie

PHOTOGRAPHY by Heat.

1tmay be said that photographs can be
taken by heat as well as by light. The
action of the shorter waves of energy
which we call light is quicker and sooner
manifest to the eye than the action of the
longer waves which we call heat; but the
Invisible heat rays in the solar spectrum
have been photographed. The slow ac-
tion of the heat in changing the molecular
state of bodies is we'll known. It is prob
able that an emulation could be formed
which would give an image of hot black
kettle in dark chamber. The element
of time. however, would probably be an
important one.
Indeed we are often presented with evi-
dences of the picture-m making facility Of
heat rays. A fern leaf upon ice is soon
represented, by the difference of molecu-
lar action. A stationary carriage wheel
standing in the sun upon the frozen
ground is found to have left its photo
graph upon the ground when it moves on.
