THE KAISER TALKS WAR.
1t lis Possible he may Grasp at Soms
Pretext for Fighting the French.


BERLIN, March Notwithstanding
the pacific assurance and rumors, the
kaiser continues to be deeply incensed
against France. He is not so much ir-
ritated by the discourteous treatment of
his mother in certain newspapers, or
even by the frantic anti-German utter
ances of portion of the people, as by
the single fact that he failed in his plan
to obtain French pictures for the Berlin
exposition, and that he was personally
snubbed and disappointed. This feel
ing shows itself to all who approach him,
and occasions considerable apprehension
that the kaiser may grasp at some pre-
text for fighting the French. He no
longer talks of peace, and both his man
ner and language indicate he anticipates
war, and has come to the conclusion
that another struggle will be needed to
settle the title of Germany to Alsace-
Lorraine

IMPRISONED BY HER HUSBAND.
A wife Tut Out of the Way to Obtain
Her Wealth.

LONDON, March ga curious and
startling case will shortly be tried in the
courts here. 1t appears that Mrs. Cath
cart, wealty lady of Stafford, myster-
iously disappeared some time ago, and
all efforts of her relatives and friends
failed to discover her whereabouts.
Quite recently, however, her friends
traced her to lunatic asylum, where
she had been confined at her husband g
instigation. Mrs. Cathcart is the posses
sor of an estate valued at over five mil
lion dollars, which reverts to her hus-
band if he can have her certified as of
unsound mind. Mrs. Cathcart's rela-
tives insist that she is in full possession
of her senses, and consequently long
and interesting trial is expected.

Senatorial Outlook in California.

SACRAMENTO, March 5.-M. M. Estee,
ent this afternoon, said he was going
home and would go out of the senatorial
fight, satisfied that FELTON, was to be
elected. This phase is somewhat con-
firmed by the Dibble faction, which was
originally supposed to be for DeYoung
and is now supposed to be for FELTON,.
Estee's statement may be nothing but a
ruse, but the impression prevails, never
thelees, that FELTON, will be elected.

young Jersey b;,'l - full of vim and
energy as steam engine. A few days
ago some painters from Margaretsville
were painting a cottage on the place
and had to pass through the pasture
where the bull was browsing. One of
the painters carried a red paint pot,
which caught the bulls eye. He pre-
pared for business at once and charged
on the painters, believing loudly. They
saw him coming ana scampered for
dear life He singled out the painter
with the red paint pot and gave him
chase, driving him Up tree.
As the man sprang into the tree he
dropped the paint pot, upon which the
bull proceeded to vent his rage, He
spattered the paint, which was bright
yellow, all over his forelegs, shoulders
and head, and from Icing black bull
he shortly became golden colored one.

Many apple trees in London subur-
ban gardens are in danger of extinc-
ton. This is a thousand pities. be-
cause the apple tree, apart from the
attacks of caterpillars and some liabil-
ity to American blight, not only lives
and grows in London gardens, but will
bear abundant fruit. Up till the past
four or five years it has been quite com
mon to find fairly well loaded apple
trees in hundreds Of London suburban
gardens
Latterly, however, year after year
the foliage has no sooner developed
than it has been attacked by myriads
of caterpillars, and everywhere round
the metropolis may now be seen apple
trees apparently ell sere and dead. The
scanty brown shriveled foliage left
upon them will presently fall, and an
other crop of leaves will appear; but
the trees have been crippled and weak
ened, and this being repeated year after
year must eventually kill the trees in
deed, many have been killed already

How to Get to tho North Pole.

We may seem fully entitled to draw
the conclusion that current is con-
stantly running across the polar region
somewhere north of Franz Josef Land
from the sea north of the Siberian
coast and Rehriny strait, and into the
sea between Spitzbargen and Green
land. Since such Il current exists, the
most natural way of reaching the
north pole, or point quite near it,
must be to enter the current on the
side where it runs northward, that is,
somewhere near the New Siberian
islands, and let it carry one straight
across those unknown regions which it
has prevented SO many from reaching.

Just big enough to carry provisions for
twelve men for five years, besides the
necessary coal; a vessel of about 200
tons will suffice The most important
feature of the ship will be that she will
be built OH such lines as will give her
the greatest power OF resistance TO the
pressure of the foe ice. Her sides
must not be perpendicular, as those OF
ships generally are, but must slope from
the butwarks to the keel; or, to Use a
sailors expression, her dead rise" must
be made great, Sc tat the foes shall
get no hold of her when they are
pressed together, but will glide down
ward along her sides and under her,
thus tending to lift her out of the
water.
