FRANCE RATHER INDIFFERENT.
Its Business Men Need Stirring Up on the
Worlds Fair Subject.

PARIS, Nov 27.-In reply to a question
addressed to United States Consular officers
throughout France as to the prospects of
the Chicago Worlds Fair in their seve::al
districts, considerable number of replies
have been received. The general tenor of
these replies is that the feeling of the peo-
pie toward the fair is one of indifference.
In one or two districts, where the Mckinley
law presses most severely, feeling akin to
hostility is manifested.
Generally speaking the opinion is ex-
pressed that there is need of bringing the
matter more directly and personally before
the French manufacturers and merchants,
and that if this is done good representa-
tion from that country may be secured.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-At G. A R.
banquet in Brooklyn last night General
Palmer said: ''There is no class men on
Gods earth that are half SO appreciated for
their gallantry and valor or that so reflected
credit on American valor, and whom we are
so willing to forgive, as the soldiers OF the
South. But we cannot forget the loss of
hundreds of millions of money and the
lives of hundreds of thousands of men who
are now lying in their graves because of the
rebellion"
''But doing honor to the people of the
South they should not confront us with
that stinking old rag of treason. believe
that the men who were in the struggle at the
front want NO more fighting, but when We
listen to the young scions who say that the
Confederacy is to them an inspiration, and
that they will ayenge the cause of their sol
diers, it is too much to bear in silence. Loy-
atty to the Stars and Stripes will ever nerve
us in the cause of the Union"

nov some Insects Sing.

The Greeks shut the cicadas Ia cages
so as TO be sung TO by them in their sleep.
The Greeks were at odds concerning the
nature Of the singing apparatus, and the
controversy among naturalists on the
subject lasted till very recently. The
Zoologist, III. Landois, who investigated
the difficult subject Of animal sounds
with ceaseless industry and great skill,
was able TO give satisfactory solution
TO the question. According 70 his re-
search, the case is one in which the sound
Is really made by air circulating through
passages IN the interior Of the body.
Every insects body is penetrated by a
system Of breathing tubes or trachea
which open at places on the surface. Ths
openings are called stigmsta. This sys-

a Desert - on4srlzed.

The bed of the Colorado desert today
may well afford a study to the-seeker
after marvels as wen as to the geolOgist
It is a desert wonderland. Imagine q
plain of clay, monotonously level, re-
lieved here and there by hills of sand
built in beautifully wavelike outlines.
These hills are not stationary; they trav-
el constantly, though slowly, journeying
over the plain as the winds direct. The
sand of which they are composed is not
like ordinary sand st all. but OF a nature
marvellous. Most of the grains are trans
parent, others are translucent, while
many are of rainbow hues, being in fact
small gems of red carnelian, green chrys-
olite and varicolored garnet
Looked upon beneath a microscope
they are most interesting. A majority
of them are perfect spheres, rounded and
polished by attrition with each other
When mixed with familiar acid they
effervesce like seidhtz powders. Com
posed of these strangely wrought ma
terials, the sandhills look like great
snowdIifts, with here and there CLEAN
of color. Continually they give forth a
rustling sound as the tiny spheres are
shifted by the winds, slowly rolling on
ward. Washington Star.

triumph Of the desert tribes. Thu.
Emin's communication with the civilized
world was practically cut off. After q
considerable time, during which the
Congo state had been established, an agi
tation was begun for his rescue.
Stanley took charge Of the expedition,
and all the horrors and triumphs of the
march are still fresh In public memory.
Emin was found at Wadelai, the ac-
cepted ruler of a barbarian land in
which comparative peace prevailed. II
took months 70 persuade him 20 be res
cued, but finally he consented and was
borne in Stanleys train TO Zanzibar.
There he attended banquet, drank TO
much champagne, tumbled out of a win
dow and cracked his skull. German
physicians attended him, and impressed
upon his mind their belief that Stanley
was acting not for humanity, but for
English interests.
When Emin recovered he declined TO
visit England. and at the first oppor-
tunity made OF for the interior Ok the
dark continent with a force furnished
him by Baron Wissmann, the represen-
tative of Germany. He was theusupon
referred 10 ia various speeches and pub

day news came Of startling nature.
Enin has reached and reconquered the
equatorial provinces, has again at up
his seat Of government AZ Wadelsi and
is again the recognized and welcomed
ruler Of all that region. the only differ
ence being that he nov holds the ooun-
try not a. . representative Of Ezypt or
Of England, but as the sworn agent Of
Germany. A writer well acquainted
with the facts says that "Euin's deed Is
one Of the most magnificent bits q work

Mime. Blavatsky successor, Mr.. William
Q. Judge, the general secretary Of the
TheOsophical society in America, who
has Just returned from Europe, said:
This rumor is an absurdisy, no matter

ness is a member Of our society she does
not exhibit any interest IN its work or
official routine. Nine. Blavatsh1y's titls
to respect and distinction among theoso-
phists rested upon the secure basis OF her
great learning, altruistic earnestness and
occult knowledge. These qualifications
are not possessed by those who have not
had the training and cannot be con-
ferred by election. But. 10 dispose Of

that no successor to II. p. BlavatslSy has
