WORMS IN CHEsTNUTS.-A Pittsbure
physician explains how the worm gets
into the chestnut. When the nut is still
green an insect comes along, and, hunt
ing a warm place in which to have its
eggs Matched, lights upon the green
chestnut and stings it. AT the same
time it deposits some of its eggs in the
opening thus made. The chestnut be-
gins to ripen and ut the same time the
eggs are Eatching. The insect selects
chestnuts as . place for depositing its
eggs as being the best adapted place by
instinct. The loury matter in the nut
turns to sugar, and sugar contains car
bon, which produces heat.

The Next Congress.

Lawrence Gardiner, the secretary o:
the democratic congressional committee
as well as of the national association OF
democratic clubs, said in Washington
yesterday We will have democratic
majority anywhere from 80 to 10 in
the next House of Representatives. 1t
doesn't make much difference as to
numbers when the majority is so great
The third party element is almost
wiped out. We will have no further
trouble from that irritating wing. Me-
Kinleyism has been given death blow /,
and the House will take in hand the
work ofsweeping out McKinley's hand
work. From advices l have received
there is every probability that there
will be a majority in the Senate, as
well as in the House. We will gain
several democratic senators and the
third party senators will undoubtedly
act with the democrats on tariff posi-
ton. | would like to know where
Senator PETER will place himself, for
the result appears to leave him out
side of all parties. There is every
probability that one or two republi-
can senators will act with the demo-
Gratis in the development of the rev.
enue reform programme.
The returns at the headquarters of
the committee are coming in so slowly
that it is impossible to state accurately
what the majority will be. There will
be POI democrats, $50 republicans and s
third party men in the next House,
with | additions yet to be made to
complete the quota of $50 members.
There were in the last House 2S5
democrats, IS republicans and 9 indie
pendents, or 332 members III all. The
result is n relative gain for The republi-
cans, as compared with the tremendous
landslide OF TWO years ago; so that the
republicans will need more than two
aisles in the national legislative cham
Der for their members. The democrats
have lost n number of members, as
compared with the present House.
The strength Of the independents will
be pretty nearly the same in the next
House as in this, but they will miss the
presence of one of their most aggres
sive representatives, Tom Watson, of
Georgia, who was showed under
Honest John Davis" of Kansas, will
be the leading third party man in the
next House.

RUSSIAN PRESSURE on TURKEY.-It
is stated that Gen. BrialmoEt, whose
recent arrival at Constantinople to sub
nit proposals for improving the coast
dcfenses induced Russia to renew her
demands concerning the passage Of the
Dardanelles, has also been requested
by the Porte to inspect the land fortifi-
cations which protect Constantinople
and the Bosphorus against attack from
the northwest.
In this connection attention is drawn
to the fact that the late Field Marshal
Won Moltke, in his works upon the
Russo-Turkish war of 1889, pointed
ont that Constantinople could be easily
threatened by q Russian attack, mas
much as an invading army might be
conveyed by sea from Odessa and land
ed on the coast between Midia and
Kara-Burun, whence it could advance
by forced marches upon the Turkish
capital. Should the invaders then,
moreover, by coup dc main, obtain
possession of the large reservoir at
Beleghrad. on the European coast of
tie Bosphorus, thus cutting off the water
supply of Constantinople, the latter it
self, it is held, must also fall into their
hands.
As regards the efforts of Russian
diplomacy in the straits question, it is
declared that they are not only directed
to securing free passage for Russian war
vessels from and to the Black sea, III
order that Russia may increase her
fleet in those waters at discretion, but
it is also sought to obtain from the
Porte the concession that in the event
OF a war in which Russia is involved
the Dardanelles shall be closed against
all other nations. In this respect Rus
STA is supposed to have in view the
eventuality Of war with Great Bri-
tain, in which a British fleet might
force its way into the Black sea and
easily threaten the Caucasus, the Rus
sian base for operations in Central Asia,
and destroy communications between
the trans-Caspian territory and Euro
pean Russia.-LondOn Standard.
