that only Il small quantity was necessary

of tie alloy was a HOMOGENEOUS metal

with only one per cent. Of this new ore

Using only half Of one per cent, Of

that it gave the metal greater density
and a great increase-from 60 to 100 per

The old Home of jesse James.

The Libby Prison war museum is soon
to have an acquisition of curious char
acter. It is the Identical frame house in
which Jesse James lived the last four
months of his life, and in which he was
killed by Bob Ford Since 1899 this
house has stood unoccupied on bluff
back OF St. Joseph, Mo. The bullethole
in the wall is still to be seen and the
blood stains on the floor have never been
effaced. The house was sold to the
agent of the Chicago museum for the
sum of 81 900. and it is to be taken down
IN sections, removed hence and set up
again in the big b:ilding in Wabash
avenue

.aten by rocks is reported ilom Dorset
shire. During the recent severe weathe:
a flock Of starlings was observed on a
farm 1t West Stafford, near Dorchester,
being hotly pursued by a number OF
rocks. The larger birds quickly over
took their prey and quickly dispatched
them, and stripping them Of their feath-
ers greedily devoured them on the spot,
having presumably been driven to this
from their starving condition On an
inspection of the place just after not Il

An African Statesman.

The new p 'emier Of Cape Colony, Cecil
Rhodes, is attracting marked attention
in England, where he is on business
visit. His career in South Africa. which
has been one Of the most romantic and
adventurous. has placed him in the fore
most ranks of Anglo-African notabiIity.
Within a few years he has achieved the
reputation Of a statesman; the title of
The Diamond King" and is generally
accepted as the leader Of men in Africa.
He is one Of those who believe in settling
TIE Mashonaland troubles with the ma
tives in a peaceful manner, and if the
latter are not disposed that way to use
force. and he talks like man who would
be abundantly able to bring about an
arrangement either way. In appearance
he is much older than he really is, and
physically seems the embodiment of quiet
force. He is lot prone to conversation
bt;t wher, so engaged is always inter
est;rg, from the fact that lie never talks

n BOYS Odl Misfortune.

Rock, Of Rices landing. of which SO
much has been said, caused the death ce
the child al last. In August last the boy
was playing in the yard. when he fell
down. He cried a good deal and seemed
to suffer. Little attention was paid to
it, however, until a few days later IA
strange lump was discovered on his al,-
domen. 1t grew to an enormous size
and physicians declared an operation
meant death.
The boy would eat scarcely ANYTHING.
though he almost constantly asked for
food. When not watched he would eat
ashes and other hard substances. On
Wednesday he asked his mother for a
piece OF cake. and three minutes after he
was dead. When the growth was re-
moved it weighed seven and half
pounds, and it was found it had com
pletely surrounded the kidneys and
grown fast to the body. Its size caused
it to interfere with the action of the
heart, causing death The lump is said
to be puzzle to physicians, who say it
resembles no humorous growth they ever
