What England Could DO.

In two weeks after q declaration of
war England could place fifty gunboats
on the lakes and more than thirty
armored vessels in the harbors of our
leading cities, and could concentrate
1900 regular troops in Canada, backed
by a sturdy militia, ready to march
across our border. while in twice that
time part OF her Asiatic squadron could
sail through the Golden Gate. Our lake
frontier is q cobweb. No land defenees
of such towns AZ Chicago, situated on
the shore itself, could save them from
bombardment.
The best army could not protect Chi
cago against q mediocre modern feet.
The shipping and commerce of the lakes
is attractive. The goods atioat and ashore
would suffice to pay a huge war indem-
nifty. They are all at tho mercy Of an
English flotilla. Some people imagine
that wa has been humanized out Of
such measures as bombardment. But
Paris was bombarded in 1870; so was
Strasburg, and it's beautiful cathedral
spire was seriously injured. War has
no aesthetic maxims. The occupation Of
= seaport leaves no alternative but SUBJ
mission and the payment of q heavy
ransom-or bombardment. In a town
like Chicago this would be followed by
fire, and weall remember the $2O,O00,0OO
lost in the fire of lS7l.-F0rum.

A POisun.

One of the most famous and fatal
poisons used in Japan and Java is OBJ
tanned from the bamboo. The young
shoots of the zane when they first push
through the ground are covered with
fine, brownish hairs, which, under the
microscope, appear to be bayonet-like
spikes of crystals of slick. infinitely
sharp and hollow. Small quantities of
these hairs administered daily in the
food bring on liberation Of the whole
alimentary canal, Stimulating malignant
dysentery. The action must be of q
mechanical rather than chemical nature.
just 70 the spores of the common puff
ball act upon the eyes.
The bamboo crystal is greatly dreaded
by all European residents Of Java. A
Dutch official report says that scores of
deaths among European planters are
due to the jealousy of native women,
who, whenever they take q fancy to a
white man, will either have him or
poison him on bamboo hairs 1t it takes
months to accomplish the job. The
mi initesimal hollow through these
hairy crystals is the most remarkable
thing in connection with them, they
being the only known hollow vegetable
or mineral thorns or CRYSTALS.

The Tariff and the 1Four Hundred"

Among all the ''evils" which this
"robbcr" tariff is working in this coun-
try, its dircful effect is making q vista
ton upon the famous "Four Hundred"
OF New York City, whose only purpose
and effort in this life is to "ape foreign
aristocrats in manner, drawl, and Dress"
This fashionable circle is guided in it's
ambition, aim and spirit, BY that motor
ious sycOphant and servile impersona-
ter OF foreign manners and customs,
Ward McAllister. This man who has
oil his clothes made in Europe because
there IL nothing made In this country
good enough for him, is down on the
Mckinley bill. He has issued q note of
warning to the lady members
Of the "Four Hundred" to the effect
that If something IL not done to strangle
the tariff law there will be fashionably
inclined women who will have all these
Partisan dresses copied in this country,

It would be q terrible blow to this
aristocratic circle il some outside ladies
should take . notion TO get these Paris
dresses copied in this country--made
out Of American silk and the cutting
and sewing done by American hands.
Well, if the Mckinley bill strikes a
hard blow ut those who place a greater
value on things foreign than on things
produced in this country, American
patriotism will cay good enough! A

Visible Sound.

The idea of getting visual express
sion for musical vibrations occurred to
Chladni, physicist of the last century.
He fastened plate of glass by its GEN.
ter, and then, having scattered some
sand over the surface, threw it into So
norous vibrations by means of violin
bow. Imagine the delight with which
he saw the sand stir and form into line
on the plate, forming a star of twelve
rays. Square plates of glass or metal
screwed or even glued to central sup
port can be made by the merest tyro
with tools, and give wonderful results.
A plate, like string, has one rate of
vibration which belongs to it, but again,
like string, by " dampening" it with
touch of the finger or fingers in differ
ent points along the edge the note
changes and with it the figure made by
the sand The lines on the plate where
the sand settles are the nodes, the lines
of comparative rest. The violent agi-
tation in the parts left bare can be
shown by mixing little lycopodium
powder with the sand; this is excess
lively light, and is caught in the little
whirlwinds of air generated about the
vibrating segments.-Sophie B. Herrick,
in Century.
