Itis announced that the members of the Leprosy Commission, who are now pursuing their researches in Simla, have made the important discovery that the leprosy bacillus can be isolated and cultivated arti- ficially, A rabbit was inoeulated and killed after some days, and dis tinct leprous nodules were found in the body. It is stated that the ba- cillus has never before grown out side the human body.-London Public Opinion.

To the great regret of the friends of the late pr. Schliemann, many of the interesting relics dug up by the great explorer in Troy have been stolen and despoiled by the misera- ble inhabitants of Asia Minor. Turks and Arabians in the neigh hQrhood of the excavations use the valuable stones to build their huts. After Schliemann's death a man was employed to guard the ruins. His salary was discontinued recent ly, however, and the watchman ceased to guard the excavations. The Stamboul, of Constantinople, calls upon all scientific societies of Europe and America :'to put an end to the iconoolasm and vandalism of the semi-barbarous inhabitants" and to continue the work of the great Schliemann.-New York Fri buEe.

When the mosque of St. Sophia, in Constantinople, was built, more than one thousand years ago, the stone and brick were laid in nor. tar and mixed with q solution of musk, and the building it is said has been infected with the odor eyer since. Probably age has imparted a musty odor, from which the musk story was fabricated.

The ailanthus trees are now in bloom. and it is surprising how beautiful many of them are, even in the streets, where it is hard for any tree to develop symmetrically. The ailanthus fell into disfavor some years ago because some persons ob- ject to the odor of the flowers. This, however, is not an inseparahle ac- compartment. The ailanthus is di9cious, the staminate and the pistilate flowers being borne on sep arate plants, and the odor belongs only to the staminate flowers. The female plant is free from this ob- jection, and though tits less showy in blossom, it's foliage is justas fine. Philadelphia Times.

The production of coal in India during the year 1890 shows large increase over the output of 1889, and this increase is general through out the peninsula, with the excep- tion of the central provinces. The production of the year was over , 100000 tons, or an increase of 114 per cent, as compared with 1S89.- New York Evening Post,

Closely following on NJ. Lippman is an inventor of another system of photographing in colors, who pro- ceeds on the theory that there are four primary colors-green, red, blue and yoilet. He accordingly takes four distinct pictures simul- taneously by means of four lenses in front of which respectively is a screen of one of the four oolors named. The negatives are develped in the ordinary manner, and in throwing the pictures on the screen four lenses are again used having a common focus, each of the pie lures being projected through a screen of the color originally used. The result is that a picture is pro- duced which includes the colors of the original.-Chicago News.

Dr. Baudin, of the French Aca- demy, furnishes some very interest ing statistics with regard to deaf mutes. The number thus afflicted from birth increases in proportion to the degree of blood relationship existing between the parents. In Berlin there are 6 deaf mutes among every 10000 Protestants, 27 among 10000 Jews and 3l among 10000 Catholics. In other words the num- Der of deaf mutes is larger where the religion allows cGnsanguineous marriages. The number also in- creases in countries where there are natural obstacles to marriages be- tween those not thus related. In France the proportion is 6 to 10000 inhabitants, in Corsica II, ill the Higher X Ups 23, in Ireland II and in the Canton of Berne 2S. The danger Of such offspring from mar riages between cousins is Is times greater, between uncles and nieces 37 and between aunts and nephews 70 times greater than between per- sons where no such relationship eXists.-Belletristisches Journal.

The Vanished Surplus.


 Uncle Sam, who smiled at th' $100,000,000 in the Treasury three years ago, is about as disgusted an individual as can be found in these parts. He hasn't very much to be proud of, it must be admitted However, the Republicans have been faithful to their pledges in this matter. Mr. Frye of Maine, speak ing in their name, promised that jf the party should get another whack at the Presidency they would make the Treasury as empty as country man On his first sea voyage. They have kept their word religiouslE.- New York Herald.
 Secretary Foster, who claims to have "a thorough knowledge of the subject" predicts that "before the end of two years we will have money enough to meet ali the ex- penditures of the Government" This appears like confession that in the meantime there gill be de- felt in the Treasury and that it will require the legislation of a Democratic Congress to bring the expenditures within the revenues, or provide the means to meet the extravaganza ofMr. Fosters friends. Philadelphia Times.
 It was unfortunate for Mr. Eos ter that he became Secretary of the Treasury on the heeis of tue Billion Dollar Congress, since that body left very difficult piece of work for him to perform. It made the annual expenses larger than the annual income, and greater linan- cicrs than Mr. Foster might be at a loss what to do.-Courier-J ournal.
 The much-mooted question as 10 what disposition should be made of the surplus is settled. The old soldier settled it just as he did some other questions once upon a time. He just stepped Tn and cor rallcd the whole business and few dollars more and appropriated if. So the United States is virtually 1 broke at present.-Chicago Times,
 Tie new style of bookkeeping to which the Treasury Department l has resorted cannot conceal tie fact that there is now less than $2,- 100000 on hand, with vast obliga- tions unmet, and the $56,000,000 ot four-and- half bonds to be met on the 1st of September.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A net deficit of three-quarters of a million dollars in the National | Treasury is not exactly powerful campaign document for the grand old party, but it is about as good as any other that organization has in stock at the present time.-Kansas City Times.

Is a Financial Crisis Coming!

9 There are indications in the fnan eial outlook which are not pleasing
 Neither the conditions of to day no
 the prospects for tomorrow are o , that assuring character which beto
 kens stability and security. Every
 financial center on the globe is na ore
 or less disturbed, and those who
 have money invested either as spec
 ulators or brokers are keeping out 1 "the weather eye"as sailors do when
 the sky is thick and storms brewing.
 There is a vast feeling of uneasiness
 which has not been relieved since
 the operations leading up to the
 Barring endorsements last Nov ember. The center of financial dis turbance is evidently in Europe.
 From Russia to tfae Irsh Sea there is manifest disposition of distrust and suspicion. Men are inclined to turn available securities into money and hoard that in the banks. The movement of gold to St. Petersburg is only one of many proofs. About l-J5. 100000 in specie has been call ed across the Atlantic from Ameri- ca since last January, and even with these vast exportations the Europe an money market is not one whit more secure than it was in Decem- Der. The simple fact is that almost every nation in Europe IS weakened financially and verging toward bank ruptcy. This is apparent enough in Italy, Spain and France, and on- ly less so in Russia, Germany and England. The annual drain of mil lions to support armies and arma- ments is beginning to tell. Natur. ally the weaker nations are the first to feel the approaching shock. The working people are ground down to the point of revolt and the rich are losing their fortunes in mad speculation. Financial managers of governments and banking ineti- tutions are catching at straws like drowning men, and are making he roic efforts to keep themselves and each other afOat. The condition of money affairs in Europe is felt in everyoorner ofciviization. In South America the situation is practically hopeless, where not only fortunes in Brazil, Argentine, Chili and Peru, but those from London, Paris and Berlin have been drawn into the maelstrom of speculation and en- gulfed beyond redemption. In the United States the disturbing inhu- ences upon European bourses are felt in less degree, but are, neverthe- less, causing anxiety and fear. The long delayad event, in preparation for which every nation in Europe | has bankrupted itself, appears al- most ready to break, and, if war does not come soon, a tremendous social upheaval must begin, which | in turn, appears destined to drag down upon the Old World the great est financial crisis the nineteenth | century has ever seen. How such | a result can be averted is beyond | the ken of any prophet which now has the public attention. In such an event America is in position tegather whatever profit may arise from the misfortunes of other na- tions, but prosperity is never per manently built up upon the losses of war or speculation, and the ca lamity that seems about to tall in Europe will be a common misfor- tune to all the world.-Baltimore Herald.

Our Food Supply.

James K. Reeve, of Franklin
 Ohio, presents his study of the flu
 ture of our agriculture in the cur
 rent number of Belford's Monthly
 He says one year of non-productioi
 would empty our warehouses anG ] silence our mills {; two years of non
 production would be exhausted ir
 the purchase of food. The scarce
 possibility of such a condition is no cause for the statement, but to en- phasize the fact of our dependence upon continuously successful agriculture. According to the sta tistician at Washington, exclusive of cotton and tobacco, the propor- tion of agricultural products ex- ported is about five per cent and in comparison with the imports the balance of agricultural trade in our favor is $50,000,000. In the light of these figures, says MT. Reeve, the proud boast that i've feed the world' can hardly be sustained. Our average amount of food per capita is not dreamed of in other
 
 countries. We are prodigal in con- parison, and have become so accus- toned to the enormous figures that stand for the volume of our food production, we have never question ed the possible discontinuance of such a happy state of affairs. Yet, by consideration of the decrease in production, increase In population and of the number of producing acres yearly withdrawn-the total for four years aggregating 72,163.- 765 acres-we are compelled to at least take warning of the possibili- ty of what may happen. Wheatis the one great item. Since 1880 there has been no permanent increase of the wheat area, and in no year since has the average equaled that of 1880. Another fact to be noted is decrease in the average yield, and this decrease in yield per acre per vades the whole realm of agricul- ture, as figures from official tables show. The declines are not great, but it is something to think about that they exist at all. These con- ditions indicate necessity for q change in our land policy and meth ods of agriculture, the writer be- lieyes, unless we are willing event ually to take rank with the over- crowded nations of Europe. Over crowded not in the sense of insufi- cient room, but failure of food SUD- ply. Decreasing area and supply, with increasing population means one day "a condition and not the- ory" to be met except we take warn ing in ample time and seek the rem- edies. The questions to be answer ed are: Are we deyoting ourselves too entirely to trade, commerce and manufactures and permitting to lan- quish the industry that sustains and nourishes all.-Toledo Bee.

Relics of a Prehistoric Race.

News comes from the Sequatchi
 Valley of the discovery of a petri
 fled man, surrounded by bronze in
 struments and not far from a tab
 let containing 467 words written il
 character resembling Hebrew. Tn,
 story has somewhat the sound of {
 fake, but the use of Professor N. s
 Shaler's name, which would be un
 pardonable in this connection if he
 was not there, gives a color of prob
 ability 10 the story. If it is a fake
 1t is wonderfully we'll written and
 more consistent in it's details than
 such things usually appear. The
 mention of characters resembling the Hebrew sets in melton an in- teresting train of speculation. The theory was long ago advanced that the North American Indians were of Semitic descent, and various ar guments, based on the philology of the Indian and Hebrew races, have been made to support this view. Some have gone so far as to assert that the Indians were the lost tribes of Israel, come to America from Asia by way of Alaska. The sue cessivc migrations of Toltecs and Aztecs from the northwest to Mex leo have afforded another scintilla of the evidence out of yhieh the fabric of the theory has been con- structed. All this has been inter- esting, but appeared more or less mythical until the unexpected out cropping of certain Indian folklore, which sheds new light on the mat ter. One of the widest Indian tribes on the western border was reduced 10 subjection by the United States army when those savages were still unable to speak a word of even broken English. They could only make themselves understood by signs, and it was found by sub sequent inquiry that no priest or missionary had ever visited them. These people had tradition of the deluge and of the destruction of all but one family, who escaped in a big boat. Finally, when the waters began to subside, they sent out. not a dove, but a coyote. This story is vouched for by Colonel Benteen, a retired officer of the United States cavalry, who held these Indians as prisoners of war, and heard the tradition from them, after he had learned enough of their language to communicate with their chief. Now if the story of the find in the Se- quatchie Valley is true. and it turns out that the alleged alphabet has anything in common with the He brew, the evidence will be as con- elusive as circumstantial evidence could be that the early inhabitants of this continent were of Semitic origin. It seems strange, however, that there should have been on this continent a race which was far en- ough advanced in civilization to use an alphabet and yet not strong en- ough to impress its ideas and it's progress upon it's successors. That is the hardest thing to believe.-I Constitution.
