The Weather and the Crops.

The weather-crop bulletin of the Signal Of
fee says: The week ending July 26 was cool
over the entire region east of the Mississippi
valley and from Louisiana northward to Min
nesota. the deficiency Of temperature being
slight in the central valleys and more marked
in the states on the Atlantic coast, where the
average daily temperature was from degrees
to degrees below the normal Of the week
The week was warmer than usual from Texas
noTthward to the Dakotas and over the Rocky
mountain and plateau regions. The tempera-
ture for the season from January to July rs
continues In excess over the central
valleys, southern, middle and New England
states but this excess is less marked than it
was during the early portion Of the season, and
the daily average now ranges from degrees
to degrees above the normal. There WIS more
than the usual amount of rain during the week
generally. The rainfall for the season continues
In excess in the lake region, the Ohio and GEN.
trail Mississippi valleys and over the greater
portion of the middle Atlantic and west gulf
states.
Reports from the northwest indicate that the
weather in that section during the past week
was generally favorable. although in some
Localities dry weather continues and crops are
much in need OF rain. Generally Throughout.
the cotton stateJ the weather was especially
favorable to crops. In the west gulf states the
outlook for cotton is materially improved: few
worms are reported, but yet no serious
damage has occurred, although there is some
fear Of injury to the crops from this source.
The rains during the latter portion Of the week
proved beneficial to growing crops in the mid
die Atlantic states, although more rain is needed
in western New York. New Jersey reports the
weather too cool and dry during the early part
of the week; grapes are injured by black rot
Reports from New England indicate that crops
have been injured by drought. notwithstanding
the general rains during the latter part OF the
week. Frosts caused some damage in Massa-
chusetts on the 2lst and hail in Connecticut OIL
the 18th and 10Th injured crops in a Few Iocali-
ties. Reports from the Pacific coast indicate
that the weather during the week was excel
lent for harvesting, which is now in progress in
Oregon. where the conditions favor an un-
usually good crop of wheat. a large crop of
hops. and a fair Oat crop. In California the
weather has been favorable for abundant crops
of hay and fruit, while small grains are below
the average.

HoNORs TO ERICssoN's MEMORY.
Naval Ceremonies at the Transfer Of His
Body TO the Ship.

The frequent meetings OF Swedish citizens,
Grand Army men and the lodge OF Odd Fellows
of which the late Capt John Ericsson was .
member, to arrange program of honors ap-
propriate to the memory of the great inventor,
engineer and naval expert, have led 10 the I'M
preston that the ceremonies of the transfer Of
his body from the Marble Cemetery 10 the navy
vessel which is TO carry il TO Stockholm are to
be entirely civic in their character. On the
contrary, says the New York Tribune, the naval
part Of 1t will be imposing in view Of
his rank, which comparatively few know
of. BY virtue of his appointment as knight
commander OF the Royal Order of Isabella the
Catholic he WAS Spanish nobleman; and his
Office as knight commander Of the first class,
Danish Order of DRnnebrog. gave him the title
of ''eXcelency." with rank next 10 that OF field

lations provide that ON the occasion Of burial
Of an officer of that rank a salute OF fifteen

vided.
Besides the decorations which Capt Ericsson
received, which were many others than those
above mentioned, he received by formal vote
the thanks OF Congress and also of the legisls-
ture OF New York and OF the swedish diet But
he never cared for a display OF these honors

INDIAN PHYSICIANS
Students Who Have Qualified Them
selves to Heal the Sick.

Quite Q disposition b being manifested
among Indian students 10 qualify themselves
for the practice Of medicine. Miss Susan
La Flesche graduated from q medical school
in Philadelphia and was appointed last year by
Indian Commissioner Morgan as physician at
the Omaha boarding school in Nebraska, and
has been very successful in her work. Carlos
Montezums, an Apache Indian, after gradual
ing from the university Of Champaign, H.,
graduated from medical school in Chicago
and has now position in the government In
dian service at the Tongue River Agency in
Montana. DIR. Eastman, Q Sioux Indian, .
graduate of Dartmouth College, has Just COM
pleted three years course Of medical study
and graduated with honor from the school OF
medicine in the Boston University, and is soon
to have an appointment as Indian physician.
1t is said at the Indian bureau that there 10
perhaps no part Of the Indian service where
educated Indians can be OF more benefit to
their race than in the medical department
The Indians generally know very little of the
laws of health, are very negligent in the care
OF their persons, are exposed to not only cli-
matte changes but also to epidemics and con-
tagious diseases against which they are unable
to contend The physicians provided for the
Indians by the government are few in number
and are not always we'll qualified for their
work. Educated Indians are better suited than
white man for the practice of medicine among
the Indians because of their acquaintance with
the language, their sympathy with their peo-
pie and their ability to adapt themselves to the
peculiar environment of an Indian reservation.

A PREHISTORIC GIANT.
His Footprints and the Marks OF His
Club Found on q Shelf of Rock.

A Fort Dodge dispatch to the Philadelphis
Times says: While blasting stone from the Mar
bingham quarry there was recently discovered
the prints Of a gigantic foot on a shelf of rock,
which had been covered with earth and vege-
taton, but which was displaced by the explo-
sion. The foot is apparently that of human
being, though provided with nails Of great
length and curved slightly at the end as can
be seen by the deeper indentations at the ends
of the marks.
The prints are seven in number, varying con-
siderably in distinctnoss, each measuring a
fraction less than two feet in length and broad
in proportion. The toes are shorter than is
usual in the human foot and spread much
wider apart, but the heel is narrow aud round
ing. The prints all point in the same direc-
ton aud are from four to four and half feet
apart, the most clearly defined sinking about
two inches into the rock There is in addition
to the foot-marks indications of some heavy
object having been dragged over the rocks
after the creature whose backs there.
This object was probably q club, to judge from
the marks il made.
The ledge of rock on which this valuable
record of q prehistoric age is to be seen was
|. detached with the greatest care, but unfor-
tunate fall broke the piece right across the
footprint most clearly defined The breskage
will be repaired as skillfully as possible with
cement and the rock forwarded to the Museum
OF Geology and Paleontology at Dubuque, Mr.
Mardingham, who owns the quarry, presenting
il to that institution.

Messrs. Porter and Goodc VIII Consider
tho Worlds Fair Proposition.

A stated elsewhere, when the commissioners
Of the fair were in the city recently they ten
dered to Mr.. Robert p. Porter, the superin-
tendent Of the census, the position Of chief of
the bureau Of awards, and to Prot. @. Brown
Goode, the assistant secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution and director OF the National
Museum. the position Of chief Of the bureau
Of classification and catalogue. Both Of these
gentlemen are perhaps as thoroughly occupied
as men can well be and they told
the commissioners that they were too busy to
take these positions. The commissioners aptly
replied that was one reason why they had asked
them to undertake this new work. They
thought that men who had displayed such ca
pacity for work and such ability as organizers
were the very men that the fair enterprise
needed. Persons who had plenty Of time, the
commissioners remarked. would probably not
be able to render such efficient service. While
the argument employed was a strong one. yet
the commissioners did not receive a positive
acceptance from either of these gen.
tlemen- They, however, succeeded in secur-
ing the consent of both Mr.. Porter and Mr.
Goode to q consideration of the matter and
also to report q plan Of organization of both
of these Department. This report will be
made to the commission on the 2lst OF Septem-
Der. when it will be definitely decided whether
these gentlemen will accept the positions
offered They are. however, authorized to en-
ploy experts to assist them in drawing up a

BRITISH TARS AROUSED.

Dor today from the Newfoundland coast, our
return being almost as sudden and unexpected
as was our departure. Why we went with such

ing to risk the strong possibility of insult at the
hands of British subjects; spared the humilia-
ton OF seeing the snub direct administered TO
an admiral of the feet and 10 a British general
officer the commander-in-chief of the forces in
British North America; spared the humiliation
OF knowing that another British officer, the
commander of III. NJ s. Emerald, had been sum-
moned before a colonial court for enforcing a
wrong on British subject to please our old
time enemy, France, and above all. spared the
humiliation Of seeing the north Atlantic feet
play second fiddle to two French war ships.
1t is certain that something serious was in
tended when the feet was ordered to rendez-
vous on the Newfoundland coast, and it is
equally certain that some unforeseen move on
the European political chess board caused

prevails among the seamen of the fleet over
this tardy policy Of donothingism. Time was
when Briton's feet ruled the seas; time was
