resolutsly clasped his hands behind his back. It
was never an easy matter to the major to ex-
press hts feelings and his words came slowly
now, and with more than usual dificulty.
''You are giving Sara, Miss Levison-your
cousin, your betrothed-to me-" he gasped,
each word bearing Its individual emphasis OF
emotion, his whole face and figure working with
his tremendous excitement. ''You are the most

LONDON. Sept. 10 AT 5: 80 this morn
ing the police found the body Of a fallen
woman lying at the corner of a railway
arch on Cable street, Whitechapel Ex-
animation of the remains showed the
head and arms had been cut off and car
ried away. The stomach was ripped
open aud the intestines lying on the
ground. A Gordon of police instantly sur.
rounded the spot but no arrests up to S a.
M. had been made.
Policemen pass the spot every fifteen
minutes. Those on duty last night say
they saw nothing suspicious. The physi-
clans who examined the body state it is
their opinion that the murder and mutu-
lation occupied nearly an hour. 1t is sur
missed the murderer carried off the head
and arms in a bag The murder is the
worst of the whole series OF Whitechapel
murders.
The manner in which the limbs were
severed from the body show the murderer
to be possessed of some surgical skill.
The woman was about thirty years old
She was dressed shabbilv and was evil

not been identified. Great excitement

lies.
NooN-Later details show there is no
blood on the ground where the body was
found nor on the body. From this it is
evident the murder was committed in
some other placa and the body suhse-
guently deposited under The railway arch.
The trunk is nude. a torn bloody che

are intact but the legs are missing. IL Is

At Twelfth and Oxford streets, four
groups of interested sightseers stood
upon the four separate orner intent
ly watching the antics of a snow
white English sparrow, which seemed
to be a sort of king among its soberer
coated fellows, demanding and re-
ceiving from them an amount of ho-
mage and respectful attention that
would have done the heart of his
highness the shah of Persia good. a
resident of the neighborhood said that
he had noticed the albino for two or
three years.
HE has a nest in yonder church
steeple," he explained, land 1 have
spent considerable time in watching
him and studying his pe~culiarities.
He is a male bird and a bachelor.
That may sound strange, but there are
lots of bachelor and spinster birds
among the English sparrows. Season
after season they refuse to mate, set
up establishments of their own, and
live in them, despised and q%uarreled
with constantly by the married birds.
This white sparrow seems to have
some authority over the others. They
bring him food and even build his
nest for him. Life with him is an ex-
istence of i~dleness.and luxury. When
any bird refuses or neglects to pay
him tribute he attacks the derelict,
gives him a sound drubbing and even
tually brings him to terms."-Phila-

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal describes a long series of observa-
tons that has been carried outall over
France since the year 1884 for the pur-
pose of detecting any variations of
the level of the land These observa-
tons show that a depression from
south to north is in progress. While
on the coast of the Gulf of Lyons no
alteration of the level has been noted
on the line between Marseilles and
Lille. a stretch of $50 kilometers, the
ground is sinking toward the north
at the various rate of three centimeters
yearly. Should this rate of depression
continue, northwestern France would

counter a calamity similar to that

Animal Life in the Gulf Stream.

The surface waters of the Gulf
stream TEEN with minute life of all
kinds, There the young of larger ami
mails exist, microscopic in size; and
adult animals which never grow large
enough to be plainly visible to the
naked eye occur in immense quanti-
ties. By dragging a fine silk net be-
hind the vessel, these minute forms
are easily taken, and when placed in
glass dishes millions uucounted are
seen swimming backward and for
ward. When looked at through a mi
croscope we see young jelly fishes, the
young of b~arnacles, crabs, and
shrimps, beside the adult microscopic
species, which are very abundant.
The toothless whale finds in these his
only food. Rushing through the
water, with mouth wide open, by
means of his whalebone strainers the
minute forms are separated from the
water. Swallowing those obtained
after a short period of straining, he re-
peats the operation. The abundance
Of this kind of life can be judged from
the fact that nearly all kinds of
whales exist exclusively upon these
animals, most of them so small that
they are not noticed on the surface

its confidence in the future by officially
sanctioning the Congress, and has actually
appointed an Organizing Committee of very
distinguished men and women. The pro-
gramme includes international arbitration,
naturalization of rivers, canals, channels,
straits, territories and nations, and the
Congress will especially consider the most
practicable means Of gradually substituting
the rule of law for that of force. On tie
29th and 30th of june there will be Par
liamentary Congress, invitations to which
have been or will be forwarded to represent
atives of the parliamentary bodies of all ma

gramme will be gone through.

of peace congresses, have expressed great
admiration at Lord Salisbury's bold ex-
