Can Raise All Grades.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-In reply to
a question from the Home Market club
of Boston, Secretary Rusk has written a
letter in which he says there is nothing in
the soil and climate of this country to pre-
vent the production of every class of wool
renumeratively and in commercial quantl-
ties. The production of carpet woods, he
says, has not kept pace with the remark
ably rapid growth of carpet manutactur-
ers in this country, because that class of
wool has been Disseminated against IN
the tariff, with the result of a large i'm
portation OF foreign carpet woods. The
law is so framed also as to admit at carpet
wool rate many grades Of finer wool, thus
operating against the home production of
those classes of wool, also.

WASHINGTON, March Sin the house

was referred, to regulate in part the man
ner of holding elections for representa-
tives in congress. 1t provides that In
each state entitled to more than one rep
resentative in the ffty-third and ,subse-
quent congresses, such representatives
shall be elected by districts which have,
as nearly as practicable. an equal number
of Inhabitants, SO that the most p~opulous
districts shall not have more than $4,000
inhabitants in excess of the least popu-
lous districts and shall be composed Of
territory contiguous, adjacent and COM
pact. 1t further prevents the redistric-
ton OF any state except on the occasion
of the federal census. and prohibits such
redistribution for the election of members
to the fifty second congress.
Complaint has again been made to the

they are in United States territory. An
immigration inspector will probably be
ordered to Texas to investigate the
matter.

Inflated MERWIh.
Story OF the Wreck Told by Capt,
Bracket.
The Schooner Goes Down in as Min
utes Hfter Her Crew Escape.

Seven nearly exhausted mariners, the
captain and crew OF the lost American
schooner +. Merwin, which went down In
the recent heavy storm, were passengers on
board the schooner c. III. Fabens which has
arrived at New York.
The c. III. Fabens, Capt. Howes, lett Bos-
ton for Cayenne, French Guiana, Oct. 10.
The schooner met the same storm which
sank the Merwin, aud the Fabens sails
were split Into ribbons. She sighted the
Merwin, flying her ensign, union down, and
after taking of the crew. Capt. HOwes de-
cided to put into port. The Merwn went
down IS minutes after her crew left her.
Capt. j. II. Bracket of the Merwin said
he left Frankfort, Me-, for New York, with
a cargo Of granite. Up to the afternoon Of
the day following his departure, the weather
was fair. Then the barometer began falling,
and In few hours Il stood at 1902, with
the wind dead calm.
This was followed by a tremendous hurrl-
cane, and the vessel sOon began to leak. The
pumps gave out at IL O'Clock that night
and Is inches Of water was found In the
hold. The pumps were repaired, but with
all hands pumping the water still gained.
At O'Clock the next morning the liiebOat
was made ready, although the wind was
still blowing 4 gale and the vessel was
washed fore and aft. The Fsbens was sight
ed at O'Clock, and she saw the Merwin's dis.
tress signals. There was six feet of water
in the sinking schooner when her exhausted
crew left her and rowed 10 the Fs>sns. The
Merwin was built at West Hsyeb, Conn
In 1870, and she registered 324 tons.

A hawk can spy lark upon piece

out of human sight can still di,lin-
guish aud pouucc upoa lizards and

distance at which vultures and eagles
can spy out their prey is almost n-
credible.
Recent discoveries, and especially
". wins observations, have inclined
naluralists to the belief that birds of
prev have not all the acute sense of
smell with which they were once ac-
credited. Their acute sigh. seems
bette: to account for their action; they
appear to be guided by sight alone, as
they never sniff at anything, but dart
straight at the object of their desire.
Their coun erparts in the ocean,
however, undoubtedly see and smell
equally, but are more guided BY smell
than sight. In both sharks and rays
the eyes are good, and have a most
distinct expansion; though since they
scent their prey from Il distance and
swim up to it with great rapidity,
"smell," as Laccpedc says, "may be
called their real eye"
Smell, in Mr.. Herbert Spenccr's
definition, is anticipatory taste, while
sight i anticipatory touch: and the
manner il which sight, rs the domi-
mating sense, is substituted for smell,
the higher the evolution of the animal,
is remarkably interesting TO follow,

studied In connection with the particu-
