EASTER ISLAND RELICS.
The Monoliths of Hnmnn Shnpe, Idols ani
Other Wonders in Stone.

The Monoliths of Hnmnn Shape, Idols and
Other Wonders in Stone.
Mr.. Walter Hough contributes to recent
number OF the american NoturdliSt a paper
in regard to the monoliths of human shape
found on Easter Island, in the South Pa
cifc. One of the idols is in the National
Museum, together with smaller stone
images, painted slabs and other evidences
OF the curious civilization of the islanders.
The deep, wide eye-sockets of the big stat
ues were carved for eyes of obsidian, and
doubtless one reason for the extreme rude
ness of the sculpture consists in the fact
that the statues were once decorated so as to
conceal their defects of anatomy. The
quarry whence the monoliths came is IL
miles from the spot where the largest num-
Der has been found, and the way is difficult.
Many are in the quarry, hall finished.
Others are abandoned on the way, yet one
in place weighs about 30 tons and is 60 feet
high. The islanders had no metal tools and
were ignorant of the wheel. Yet they built
small heavy-walled houses of stone, lined
and rooted them with slabs of stone, on
which figures of animals OF eccentric form
were painted. Doors are very narrow and
the roofs are covered with turf.
For writing they used very curious and
beautiful letters, carved with sharks teeth
on slabs of wood. These letters are not
aIphabetic, of course, but are condensed
pictures which recall the past events, like
the talking sticks" used by the medicine
men of North American tribes.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Local Dullness Usual at This
Season Now Manifest.
STRONG, CONFIDENT UNDERTONE.
The Signing of the Scale Gives q
Basis for Operations.
OTHER MARKETS In THE EAST AND WEST

Oh anges in the iron and steel situation
have been very slight. This is the season
of the year when the mills ordinarily close
down for repairs and stock taking. and as
a result transactions have been light. Most
of the mills laid in large supplies in the
latter part of M ay and early part of June.
There is not much inquiry at this time, nor
is there any special reason for buying. 1t
has been the rule for these many years for
manufacturers to express fears as to labor
troubles in the month of May, and their Gus
tom has been to buy heavily in that
month. Now that the Amalgamated Asso-
citation has signed the scale for the ear before
us, there is a strong undertone OF confidence
in the future of iron and steel mark cts.
Though midsummer's quiet is fully on,
there is healthy tone to markets and out
look for good fall trade was never better
at this season of the year.
Some of the mills now closed down will
no doubt start up next week, and in week
or two more all are expected to be down to
work. Unless all signs fail the balance Of
the year will show great activity in iron
and steel products.
Our hardware dealers show no disposition
to push fall trade, as their faith is strong
that higher prices will be reached.

THE STAGE AND THE LEPERS.
A Play at Madras Which Makes nm Advance

A Play at Madras Which Makes nm Advance
In Treating the sufferers.
The Chautauquan.1
We hear of a theatrical entertainment
given not long ago by Iepers to lepers, at a
hospital in Madras; one of the plays was
called "a Substituting Farce" DR..
Cook, the surgeon, placed one OF his wards
at the disposal of the amateur actors, who
got up by their own efforts a fine stage
adorned with curtain, which last was
painted by an artist who had only thumb
and half of a finger left him by the ine1or-
able destroyer.
A time of horrible experiences comes to
nearly all, before the end; meanwhile,
lepers are men and women. and So far as
practicable should have the pleasures, even
the cares, of healthy men and women, with
as few reminders of their physical doom as
possible. In this respect there is marked
advance upon the medieval charity.
Until protective virus is discovered to
reduce the last traditional horrors of Iep-
rosy, any maid or matron who at a safe dis
tance sees a glimmer of romance in the
career of Nurse to lepers, either in or out
of religious order, would do we'll to scru-
tinize severely her own motives before en-
barking upon such an undertaking. No
transient glow OF enthusiasm, no skyrocket
impulse, will suffice to light the path OF
duties that are inconceivable in advance;
her torch must be kindled at an altar where
the love of our common humanity burns as
steadily as the watch fire of the yestals, and
in the Holy of HOLES of an individual
heart

ers, Not Enduring Racers,
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
At the present rate of affairs on the turf it
will not be long before we get back to the
quarter races that years ago were the attrac-
tion at the country fairs. What with three
furlongs, and half miles, and fye-eights,
and only once in awhile a mile race, the
horses of to-day are only ''sprinters," not
racers. What has become OF the four-mile
heat racer, the three-mile and two-mile
dashers.
In those days there were horses with stay
ing qualities. 1 believe turfmen will agree
with me that no son is ever as good as his
sire. Where now are the stations to breed
horses with endurance and speed combined?
There are no Longfellows in these days. A
good mile horse may get good fve-eighths
horse; he in turn may get half-mile won
der, but the result will be that they will
keep on breeding so fine that in years to come
q horse that can run very fast quarter
mile will be looked upon as marvel OF
speed and endurance.

NEW YORK CLUB SCANDALS.
The Gasrrouomic Recklessness of Members
10 Causing Much Trouble.


fs Causing Much Trouble.
New York World,
The scandal occasioned BY the public con-
sumption of a ham sandwich by member
Of the Calumet Club at the window of the
club house has travelled further up the ave-
nue. A member of the Knickerbocker Club
is now undergoing discipline for indulg-
ing in light luncheon of cherries in the
brazen publicity of the big bay window.
To add to the enormity of the ofense
the cherries were contained in a vulgar
brown paper funnel, in which they had been
purchased from the barrow of an itinerant
yender at the clubhouse door. The offender,
In view of the deep contrition he expressed
for his crime, has been let off with suspen-
sion from the privilege OF the bay window
until the fruit season is over. If the barrow
man who tempted him to his fall is discov-
cred the miscreant will, if the club can
compass it, be sent to State prison for life.
The case of this misguided young aristo-
crat is more than paralleled by one which
has given the Governors of the Union Club
frequent disturbances of mind There is
member OF this club who combines with
somewhat mature age and fortune which
two-thirds of the other members envy him
a prediction amounting to a positive
mania, for dried herring. He carries a
supply of this desiccated delicacy in his
vest pocket and consumes it in association
with his juleps, sours or cocktails to what
many members of more exacting CASTRO
nomic tastes consider an offensive degree.

THEODORE Mosss PET SPIDER.
The Singular Occupant Of n New York Man.
agerial Hat.

Theodore Moss, manager and proprietor Of
the Star Theatre, and member of the Board
of Electrical Control, is nourishing q pet
spider, which sends shudders through his
friends when he exhibits it, as he does when
ever he can find anybody to look at it, and
inspires him with thrills of joy, because he
regards it as harbinger of good luck. Mr..
Moss appeared recently in a white beaver
hat. That was not unusual, as he al.
WAYS wears a white beaver in summer; but it
was unusual to see him take off his hat
whenever he met an acquaintance, point to
the interior, and then to note the long and
apparently interesting conversation that
took place between him and his friend. The
mystery of these frequent sidewalk confer
ences was explained yesterday, when Mr..
Moss met New York Times reporter The
manager and Commissioner promptly took
off his hat and held it in his left hand, while
he grasped the hand of the reporter with his
right. The sun had Just forced his way
through the clouds and beat down upon the
unprotected head of the manager, but he
needed it not. Pointing to the interior of
the hat, he said:
"Do YOU see that, my boy?"
"That" was diminutive specimen of the
the middle of a web which be had spun
about half way up the hat, covering the en-
tire space from rim to rim.
Give or six DAYS ago." he said, 'I found
that this little spider had built him home
in my hat. How he came there I don't
know, for he is the first OF his kind that we
have seen at our Seabright cottage. There
he was, however, safely ensconced, and 1
rescued him and his house from destr uction
when Mrs Moss and the children proposed
to annihilate both. told them that it was
bad luck to kill a spider, and good luck to
carry one around with you, and put my
hat on my head, spider, web, and all. There
the spider has remained, contented and
happy, ever since.
HAS he brought you good luck, Mr..
Moss?" the reporter asked.
"Well, was the slow response, ''I am not
superstitious. as you know, but within two
days after that spider took up his abode in
my hat was paid an old debt of s., 900 that
never expected to get"
And the manager and commissioner
walked solemnly away, leaving the reporter
staring after him in blank amazement.

WORKINGMEN's MARRIAGES.

In Spite of Lord Derby's Opinion He Had
Better Take n Wife Early.
Pail Mall Budget.]
In the debate on sweating yesterday,
Lord Derby was eloquent about the wicked
ness of early marriage among the working
classes But is it not about time that some
one should point out to critics of the upper
and middle classes the plain fact that for a
workingman the improvident thing is to
marry late. The workingman does not. like
the commercial or professional man, earn
more at 40 than at %; on the contrary, he is
apt to earn less, because young men are pre-
ferred to him. If he marries Young. he has
a reasonable chance of earning his highest
average income during the years that his
children are dependent on him. If he de-
fers his marriage till 35, the chances are
that his income will begin to diminish when
his eldest child is not more than 10 years
old

NEW BREAKwATER SYSTEM.
Novel Use of Iron 10 Check the Force of the
Ocean Currents.

Ocean Currents.
Newcastle Chronicle.l
The necessity for constructing works to
keep in check the fury of the ocean has en-
gagged the attention of engineers from the
days of the Ptolemys, but it is remarkable
how little advance we have hitherto made
on the science of the ancients as applied to
such structures. The Oldest breakwater
known is tn at of Famagusta in Cyprus, and
simply consisted of mass of rocky mate
rial thrown into the sea and allowed to
shape itself to the beating of the waves. On
this plan, which is known as the
"talus" system, have been construct
ed the breakwaters at Portland
and Plymouth, while at some places
the talus deposit is merely used as founda-
tion for a superstructure Of masonry.
great objection to this method is that the
base has to be so wide that it often seriously
interteres with the entrance to the harbor,
while walls of vertical masonry are very
costly, and not always permanent. But
after following in practically the same rut
for so many centuries, novelty is at length
suggested, and the War Secretary has ap-
pointed committee to inquire into the
efficacy and practicability of the suggestion.
The new method is to be tried in the Bristol
Channel, where the "bore'' is as trouble
some as the waves of the sea, and the harbor
of Mombasa. our new port to the north OF
Zanzibar, is also to be constructed on this
plan.
The new system consists in lowering
number of iron rods vertically into the
water, and tying them together by crosstles
and rack bearings. The roughness or
smoothness of the bottom of the water does
not affect the principle or the application OF
this system. When the rods are placed in
position and braced together, so as to form a
kind OF iron basket work, the framework is
filled with stones. If solid casing is
deemed desirable, perforated blocks of con-
crete or stone can be slipped over three or
more of the rods, down which they will
slide, binding the rods into position and
forming a sheath ior the framework. The
specific gravity of the material used is OF
importance, and stone would be better than
concrete for most situations. Iron, though
it corrodes rapidly when exposed alternately
to water and air. does not rust when beneath
the surface of the water at greater rate
than a quarter of an inch in three centuries.
The advantages of the new method are that
its cost is about one-fourth Of the ralus sys-
tenn, and that 1t gets rid of the Objectionable
spreading base of the old style of break
water.

A DUEL WITH HOWITzERs,
How Two Army Officers in Mexico Settled
Quarrel nt Long Range.

How Two Army Officers in Mexico Settled a
Quarrel nt Long Range.
A strange duel was fought in sparsely
settled part of Sonora, Mexico, about 10
years ago. Captain Villenueva and
lieutenant of battery of light artillery be-
longing to one OF the posts had some trouble
about who was the best shot with the noun
tain howitzer.
They quarreled and agreed to settle it
with the howitzer at 500 yards. They took
neither seconds nor assistant gunners, but
from the top of small hillocks they fired
explosive shells at one another. The cap
tain was wounded by fragment OF shell,
but they fired ten shots before either was
disabled, though each was covered with
dust.
Finally the captain landed a shell under
his adversary's gun and the explosion so
mangled the lieutenant that he died before
they could remove him to the post.

CRAZY OVER CRICKET.

The Natives Of Samoa Neglect Their Crops
to Play the English Game.
Pail Mall Budgetl
A cricket mania has broken out in the
sunny isles where Robert Louis Stevenson
has established his home. "Cricket, writes
colonial newspaper correspondent from
Samoa, (which was introduced here few
years ago by some of the more energetic
British residents. has now become a null
Eance, owing to the manner in which
it is played BY the natives. 1t
is no uncommon thing to see a game being
played in which the players number from
30 TO loo side, and which lasts ter ten DAYS
or fortnight. The natives have become
80 crazy over cricket that they neglect their
food crops during the whole of the season,
and the consequence is that during a great
part OF that year they are in state of
poverty" -s
No wonder King Malietoa is seriously
considering the absolute prohibition of the
English game within his dominions.

COLOR OF HOT STEEL.

The Influence of the Composition and the
Duration of the Temperature.
Engineering and Mining Journal.1
Messrs. Schwerkers have demonstrated
in an experimental way that an increased
hardness of steel necesstates an increased
heat to produce the same annealing color,
and that the composition OF the steel affects
the conditions of the appearance OF the dit
ferent colors in a still higher degree than
the hardness.
In another series o. experiments 1t was
determined that the duration of the temper
ature exercises an enormous influence on
the results, d glasss. .hard piece turning light

Despite the fact that the rain dampened the
ardor of great many people and prevented
them from going out on contemplated trips a

The river continues to rise slowly and if the
