Alfred Russell Wallace Tells Some Cur

Gus Facts About the Insect.
Mr.. Alfred Eusscil Wallace has re-

nature. This struggle is every acting
over the whole field of nature, and no
single species of plant or animal can
escape from it. Says Mr.. Wallace:

The Largest city in America.

CHICAGO, June 29.-The question of
the annexation to Chicago of the closely
adjoining suburbs OF Hyde Park, Lake
View Cicero and Jefferson, was voted on
to-day. The campaign, which has been
conducted for several weeks past. was a
spirited one, and both sides have been
making a tremendous struggle. The
Ants were generally headed by the pres
ent Office holders in the suburbs, who made
n bitter fight against coming into the city.
While the official vote from all points
has not yet been announced, there is no
room for a doubt, from figures received,
that all suburbs named have been car
ried by the annexationists. The various
towns will bring into Chicago an addi-
tional population of nearly 200. 600,
bringing the total up to probably l,l00,-
600. The territory annexed will give
Chicago a total of about ia square miles,
making it the largest city in the United
States.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-There has

section an interesting souvenir Of Arctic

a story, as cleaned from papers accom-
panying it. While in Ohkotsh sea last
summer the ship Cape Horn Pigeon

captured a whale in the Dlubber of which
was imbedded a foreign substance.
On investigation this proved to be a
harpoon, broken off at the junction with
the lance, which had been in the whale
over thirty years. On the hinge of the
harpOon was stamped in plain letters IS.

name Of the maker. not so plain, could
also be MADE out. This was the first and

waters where the crew of the Cape

LONDON, June ga dispatch from
Delagoa Bay reports a serious state Of
affairs there, arising from railway troubles.
A portion of the railway was destroyed by
the Portuguese. An English engineer who
tried to defend the works was fred upon.
Foreign residents are greatly alarmed and
are crowding to the British consulate for
protection. The Portuguese placed the
British interpreter under arrest and the
English residents demand his release.
The Standard, commenting on the
resolutions adopted by the shareholders of
Delagoa Bay railway company, Yesterday,
blames them for imprudence. 1t urges it
will be useless to force Portugal to fulfill
her concession to the company and thinks
Portugal should merely be compelled to
return to the company the money it ex-
pended and pay indemnity for the damage
1t caused. 1t says Lisbon must be block
AIDED if necessary to obtain justice. The
Times is in favor of forcing Portugal to
fulfill the concession.
AT the cabinet council to-day it was
decided to send additional warships to
Delagoa bay.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The depart
ment of state has been informed of the

granted to the Delagoa Bay railroad com

An instance of buried alive Is reported
from Syracuse. For one such case which,
through extraordinary circumstances,
comes to light, it is only reasonable to
assume that there are many known only
to the all seeing eye and hidden from all
human ken in the depths of an unvio-
lated grave. Rare as are these evidences
of n second death, a thousand times more
terrible than the first, they are sufficient
to engender the earnest hope that some
means shall be reached whereby burial
before death shall be impossible. Either
some enactment whereby it would be-
come a penal ofrense to inter a body that
did not betray certain unmistakable owl
dence of absolute death, or some applica-
ton of electrical appliance to the coffin
and its contents.
There are no mechanical difficulties in
the way to prevent electrical communi-
cation between every recently buried
body and the office or residence of the
cemetery official or watchman. Nor Is
it impossible to construct an electrical
appliance of such delicacy that the
slightest movement in the coffin would
sound an alarm that would lead to avert
ing the worst fate which can possibly
befall man born of women, or woman or
children beloved of man. Electricity has
long been made to summon men to the
distant room of a great hotel when a fire
is in its first stages. Surely it is possible
for the same subtle s~ervitor to tell of the
frantic movements OF the wretched NOR
tai entombed ere the vital spark of life
has departed?-Pittsburg Bulletin.
