eral Manager Swank, of the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Association, has
Just issued his annual review of the
trade, showing that in 1890 the
United States went to the top of the
list, exceeding the production ofiron
of Great Britain for the first time.
The production Of pig iron was
9,202, 600 gross tons, about 100000
tons more than was made In Great
Britain, and of Bessem0r steel ingots,
3,6Ss.S7l tons were produced, or
nearly 100000 tons more than
Great Britain, and Of Bessemer
steel rails, 1867, ,s37 tons against a.
bout 1000, 600 tons In Great Britain.
In the manufacture of open hearth
steel which Is used for ship building,
we are still far behind Great Britain,
but this Is the ouly important pro-
duet in which we are second.

A SMALL MuTINY.


WALLA WALLA, Apr. 24.--Great
excitement was caused among the
soldiers here on account of the shoot
ing Of private, Il. Miller Wednes-
day night by A. J. Hunt. Miller
is rapidly growing worse and he is
not expected to live until morning
Last night the sheriff took Hunt and
a notary public and went to the gar
rison hospital where they took the
dying mans deposition. Owing to
threats made by the soldiers, Cap
tain Wint and FIVE soldiers started
to escort the sheriff and his prisoner
back to town. When the sheriff
got outside the reserve fifty soldiers
armed with carblnes, sprang out and
demanded that Hunt be delivered
up TO them. Captain Wint dl-
rected the hackman to return To the
guard house, and he then ordered
the soldiers to the garrison. Cap
tain Winate afterward detailed a
company ofsixty men, who escorted
the sheriff back to the county Jail
where he locked up his prisoner. A
large number of the guards are on
duty tonight, as 1t is feared the
soldiers will make an attempt to
kill Hunt.

dignitaries who bore ecclesiastical as

mics and the seventy-tive papyri have
not been unrolled, and it is difficult to
form an estimate of their archaeological

usually inscribed on the outer castings

How Cannibals Cook and Eat.

City Times reporter. Strange? Well,

Grafton the country. The blacks or abo-
rhymes still wear breech clouts, and
when you get short distance from civ
lEzation you will find that the majority
of them wear no apparel Of any descrip-
ton. The Australian black bears about
the same relation to that country that
the American savage does to this. When
you get away from the cities into the
brush you will find plenty of them who
would kill you, and there is nothing
they would relish better than to make a
barbecue of you, provided that there
was no danger of being caught. Col
iectively they have the greatest fear Of

The Oldest City in the World,

The oldest city in Europe is Rome,
which is said to have been founded
about 2,644 years ago; the Oldest city
in Asia is Jerusalem, which was pop
ulous place $500 years ago; but the old
est city in the would, which has never
been even temporarily vacated or de-
stroyed, is Damascus.
According to the historian Josephus,
Damascus was founded by w, the great
grandson of Noah. Whether it dates
back quite so far or not, it is certain
that it was place of consequence in the
days of Abraham, and among the Won
derful stories told in Egyptian hierogly-
phics on the gigantic pillars at karnak,
near Thebes, is one to the effect that
Damascus was captured by one of the
Pharaohs nearly 1000 years ago. Per-
haps it is safe to give it continuous ex-
istence of forty-two centuries.
AS may be imagined, during such
long lille, Damascus has seen many vi
cissitudes. During the Hebrew mon
archy it was the capital of Syria, and it
afterward passed successfully under the
rule of the Assyrians, Persians, Mace
domains, Roman, and Saracens. In
1916 it was captured by the Turks,
under Sultan Selim l., and, with the
exception of eight years-from 1882 to
ls4O, when it belonged to the Pasha of
Egypt-lt has remained ever siuce under
Turkish rule. Under every change Of
dynasty and every form OF government,
unlike most cities, it has retained its
prosperity.
The city proper is about six miles in
circumference, and is partly surrounded
by old tumbled-down walls. The streets
generally are dirty and decayed, and so
very narrow that loaded donkey al
most entirely blocks up the passage.
The principal street, called Straight
Street" mentioned in the Acts of the
Apostles, is two miles long, and is not
straight at all.
The houses, for the most part, are
very mean-looking structures, often pre-
senting to the street nothing but a dead
wall, with doorway in it, while the
best have rough mud walls, with pro-
]ect'ng upper story extending so far
over the narrow street that hands NAV
be shaken from opposite windows.
But Damascus is striking example
OF the proverb that we must not Judge
from appearances, siuce the interiors of
these misunderstanding houses are rich
aud beautiful beyond description.
Fine marble-paved courts, orna-
mented with trees, shrubs, and foun-
tains, rooms with arabesqued roofs and
walls, most luxuriously furnished. are
the common features of all the dwell.
ings of the Weather classes, while even
the smallest house has three water
pipes-one for the kitchen. another for
the garden, and third for bathing.

Spiders ana Their Young.

Exhibitions of maternal affection are
by no means confined to the higher ami
mails. Even the spider is capable of
displaying great heroism, where her
young are concerned. It is said that
one spider, the lycosa, when her egg
bag was captured by an anti-lion, re-
fused to leave it, preferring to share the
fate of her eggs, and be swallowed up.
When taken away by force she still per-
sisted in returning to the scene of
danger.
A French naturalist tells the follow
anecdote of one of the minute yellow
spiders which live in nests made among
the stalks ofgrowing oats: On looking
into nest. the naturalist found there q
great number of little eggs in various
stages OF development. The mother
spider became very much frightened at
his proceedings, and vainly endeavored
to collect her treasures. She evidently
had no idea of fleeing from the DANCE,
threatened by the monster lowering
over her. From another nest the OBJ.
server tore away the protecting web,
but the diligent mother Immediately
began spinning patch to cover ex.
actly the breach he had made. He
several times repeated the experiment,
and the spider as often repaired the
mischief.
The lycosa gathers her eggs, as soon
IS they are laid. into ball, which she
covers with thin but compact web o.
silken tissue. This ball, fastened te
her web, she drags about after he
wherever she goes. When pursued
she runs rs rapidly Is the weight Of th,

be made to seize the cocoon, she stops
at once, and defends it, often showing
great courage aud fighting capacity. Ii
the cocoon is destroyed, the lycosa re-

When the eggs are Matched, the

Whaling Industry.

Few people are aware of the extent to
which the whaling business has grown
in this city in recent years. There are
now ninety-six American vessels en-
gagged in whaling industry, and OF these
thirty hail from San Francisco. The
only American ports which send out
whaling ships ore New Bedford, Edger-
town or Martha's Vineyard, Province
town or Cape Cod, Boston, New Lon
don, Stonington and San Francisco. OF
these, New Bedford, of course, stands
at the head OF the list in point OF i'm
portance, as it has now on the ocean
fifty ships engaged solely in hunting the
leviathan.
The whaling industry has been car
ried on here ever since 1850 or as soon
as San Francisco became large enough
to act as fitting out point for the YES
sells. From the small beginning Of two
or three little vessels the fleet now
consists of eight large steamers, thirteen
banks, three briggs and six schooners,
having total tonnage of over 5000
tons.
These vessels employ al average of
fifty hands each, or total Of 1,2OO
men. These men are of all nationalities
but now chiefly claim this city as their
home.
From San Francisco halls the largest
American vessel engaged in the whaling
business, the steamer Orca, of 1852 tons
burden, whose commander is the we'll
known and successful whaleman, Captain
McGregor, and whose owner is Josiah
N. Knowles.
1t is becoming mcoted question
among whalemen whether or not for
their purposes steamer has much Of an
advantage over q sailing vessel. as it has
been frequently noted that the whales
have become much more shy since
steamers were introduced in the bust
| ness. Their hearing is so acute that
they can distinguish the approach of a
steamer from the noise Of its propeller
and Immediately become alarmed and
swim off Certain it is that the sailing
vessels bring home quite as large if not
larger catches than the steamers.
A fair catch is from six to eight whales
to ship. Last year the ships did not
average three whales each. Right
whale oil is now worth about 30 cents 6
gallon, sperm about so cents, and whale
bone about Sc pound. About as mucl
if not more money is made from the
bone as from the oil, as there are sc
many other oils to take the place O
whale OIL
