Chief Clerk Tweedale, of the war depart
ment, made and lost Sl25 the other day in
the twinkling Of an eye, as it were, and all
because of one Of Secretary Procter's little
peculiarties. The legislative bill, signed
by the President last week, created a new
bureau Of the record and pension Office
which will contain some 400 clerks When
the bill went into effect the men who had
been detailed TO do this work were out Of
positions. They were at once reappointed
to positions in the new Office, aud had to be
sworn in Just as if they were all new clerks
This was always done in the war depart
ment by Tweedale, and he gets the regular
notary's fee of 25 cents from each clerk
There were 500 or 600 of them and the %
cents apiece that they all had to pay netted
him a neat sum But Tweedale hadn't de-
cided where he would spend his vacation
and his money before Secretary Proctor
appeared on the scene and forthwith gave
an order that Tweedsle should refund the
money, which he was compelled to do, much
to his discontinue, and later on an official
disbursed Tweedale's ill-gotten gains, SO
that each clerk received the quarter he had
paid.
This was a small matter in itself consid
cred The clerks made no objection to the
assessments. 1t was only the loss of a
quarter to each of them, while the sum tota
meant a neat little amount added to Twee.
dale's vacation fund But it wasn't right
ali the same and il is one Of Secretary
Proctors peculiarities that he is as quick &c
right small wrong as a greater, especially
when the rights of those who are not in q
position to defend themselves are involved
1t is Secretary Proctor's way and it is {
pretty good way -BmrLiantOn Free Press

The recent transfer by England of the
island of Helgoland, less in extent than
Central Park, to Germany, receiving in re
turn an indemnity representing about half
a million square miles of African soil, is a
curious illustration of the relative value of
national possessions Though as a profit
able mercantile exchange it may prove a
questionable move for England, it is a mat
ter of congratulation that there is thus re
moved from between the two greatest Pro
testant European nations what might at any
time provoke war. Heligoland came into
England's possession after Napoleons de-
feat and exile, before the mighty German
empire was dreamed of, and she has had
little difficulty in holding it by treaty. The
island has ceased to be valuable to England,
but, lying as it does, near Germany S
greatest seaport aud commanding the ap-
proach to the second in Importance, its
value to Germany has been steadily rising
If foreign power should claim possession
of Block Island or Fishers Island, we could
realize how Germans regard Heligoland in
British hands.

A look through powerful field glass from
one Of the narrow windows in the top of the
Washington monument this hot weather
shows a new side of domestic life in the
capital. Washington is a city of boarding
houses AS you look from the top of the
monument with your field glass you can see
bedrooms on the house tops-that is, light,
portable cots have been taken up on the fiat
roofs of houses, rugs spread over the sheets
of tin that have become floors, and some
times folding screens have been placed be
tween the beds The houses so topped off
are probably the big boarding houses where
unmarried department clerks live, and they
take to the roofs on hot nights for the sake
of the maximum of air and minimum of
temperature. And the plan is not bad
one bv long odds - Washington Post.

A recent number of the Japan weekly
Mail contains short account of a night as
cent of the active volcano Asamayama.
The party left Karnisawa in the afternoon,
and commenced the ascent from the eastern
side about sunset. The sky was perfectly
clear, and the summit was reached an hour
before midnight. The wind, blowing from
the south, carried the sulphurous vapor
away to the northward and thus the ascent
was made less uncomfortable, The party
saw quite to the bottom of the crater, which
presented the appearance of furnace filed
with glowing Goals The sound of the roar
ing, kissing, and bubbling is described as
loud and awful The walls of the crater
are of a light brown color, and are com
posed of successive lavers marked out with
striking regularity, ike the seats in an am
phitheatre. Allowing ten of these layers
TO each interval Of 20 feet, the depth from
the surface to the incandescent matter
would appear to be 200 feet. The periph-
cry of the crater is about a mile.

That wealthy organization, the South
Fork fishing and hunting club, has thus far
escaped all responsibility for the Johns
town disaster. Although it was the defect
i've dam of that club whose breaking
caused this flood, no suits of any kind have
been brought against it or threatened A
fund was raised and attorneys retained to
bring suit against the club, yet nothing has
ever been done, and it is doubtful if any

De Longs expeditionin in the ill-fated Jean
nette from Behring straits for the North
pole was conducted on the theory that a
vessel beset with ice in that region would
be carried by a northward drift into the
highest latitude, and the theory was partly
established when disaster overlook them
Three years after the Jeanette went down
the theory of the polar current was con
firmed by the finding at the southern ex-
tremity of Greenland articles abandoned by
the crew at the time of the wreck, which
on an ice foe had reached this point from
the opposite side of the Polar sea by an un-
known route. Encouraged by this corro
boration of the scientific theory under
which the Jeanette expedition was under
taken, DR.. Nansen has secured an appro-
priation from the Norwegian government
for a Polar expedition, and as his route has
deliberately selected De Longs line of ad-
vance. He is making preparations to set
out early in 1892 for Behring straits with a
new ship specially built for drifting in the
ice foes, provisioned for five years and
carrying a scientific staff. DR., Nansen's
work in Greenland speaks well for the
success of this great work, if human eudur-
ance is equal to the difficulties and perils Of
such a voyage.
