A Natural Incubator.

The officers and men of the United
States cutter Rush relate marvellous
tales Of wondrous discoveries made by
them during their 1890 cruise. They
dredged for deep sea oddities in the al
most fathomlees "sinks" OF the Pacifc's
bed. They collected marine alge SO
delicate in figure that it took tho finest
microscopes 10 bring out even the coars-
est outlines, leaving the minute fbers as
hazy mist on the vision. and finally
outdid themselves by getting q fine
Photographic view Of creature sport
ing in the sand of one of the low lying
islands which leads their paleologist to
the belief that some of the supposed
antediluvian monsters are still in ex-
istence.
But tho feat of which they seem
proudest was tho discovery Of natural
incubator on the sides Of the volcano

and other sea birds deposit their eggs
and leave them to be Matched by vol
canic heat Who says that birds are de-

An interesting. Question.

A very interesting question is before
congress and the American Bar associa-
ton arising ont of the unfortunate mas
sacre Of the Italians in New Orleans.
The relations between this country and
Italy were strained nearly to the point
of war. Diplomatic intercourse was not
discontinued, but Baron sFava, the Ital-
ian minister, was recalled.
The issue In the controversy arose
from the conduct of the mob that broke
into the New Orleans joil and killed the
Italians who had been arrested for the
murder Of the chief Of police. For
everything done by the people of the
city, and, for everything done or left
undone by the government and courts
of the state Of Louisiana, the federal
government was responsible 10 Italy.
The men engaged in tho outrage were
acquitted. and this government recog-
nized its moral responsibility at least
by paying small sum Of money to sur
viying sufferers.
The question before congress and the
Bar associations international law COM
mittee is clear. What remedy is there
for condition Of law, International and
domestic, under which the United States
is responsible to foreign government,
even to the point of war, for the acts of
the people and courts of o single state2
1t is all interesting and important Ques-
ton and one in which the whole coun-
try is concerned.-Aarper's Weekly.

LIVING ON AIR.
Tho Remarkable Survival OF Thrco En-
tombed Miners In bohemia.

Tho Remarkable Survival OF Thrco En-.
tombed Miners In Bohemia.
Tho teaching Of experience as illus
trated by several instances of prolonged
abstinence, though it may afford some
idea Of human endurance in this pa; tic-
ular under special conditions, has yet
provided no certain criterion of the vi
tai resistance possessed by the average
man when suddenly deprived Of every
form of sustenance. Tie measure of
this force may nevertheless be gagged
with approximate correctness from the
history of recurrent instances of pro-
longed and accidental privation. AS an
example, the following is remarkable
even in this category:
1t is the narrative Of three Bohemian
miners, who, after being entombed by
fall Of sand in the pit where they were
working, were finally rescued alive,
though Of course in an utterly PROSTATE
condition, seventeen days later. During
the period of their live burial air was
pumped down to them by bore holes.
On this they may be said to have lived,
without food and without water. The
total want Of the latter is what makes
their survival so remarkable. But for
this essential the longer fasts Of profess
sional fasting men would have been
quito impossible.
We can have no difficulty in under
standing generally why this holds true
if we bear in mind the fact that not
only does water constitute by far the
greater constituent of every tissue, but
that without its due proportion the cir
1of1 nd frifj aft
that needful if costly chemical change
upon which all tissue repair depends
would be alike impossible.
In endeavoring to trace the rationale
of u life persisting, as in the case of the
buried miners, In spite of the absence of
every natural condition, we must notice
one or two significant points. In the
| first place, their condition was that of
rest, their functional metaboism being
proportionally less active, their waste of
tissue diminished and their output of
carbonic acid not so likely to overcharge
the surrounding atmosphere Further,
we may take it for granted that robust
| physique had no small share IN the con-
servation Of vital energy.
Much depends in such cases on the
amount of heterogeneous matter stored up,
for the most part in the muscular tissue,
and available for destructive changes.
We may safely assume that the amount
of reserve nitrogen in the case of these
men was not meager. It Is mainly, no
doubt, to this circumstance that we
must attribute not only the fact of their
existence, but the still more remarkable
prospect of their oonvalescence and ulti-
mate recovery.-London Lancet:

DALLAS, Sept. 20.-The nationa
convention of switchmen began their
first business session today behind
closed doors at the auditorium of the
city hall. The greater part of the day
was devoted to routine matters and
the discussion proposed code of rules
to govern the deliberations of the
assemblage. The program of pleas
ure is q long one and q
large number of delegates wanted
business transacted before pleasure
lured them away from the stern reali-
ties of life, and they wanted rules
adopted that would hold down those
more on pleasure bent. All was har-
mony, however. At the afternoon ses-
sion committees were appointed. One
committee, whose business it is to
furnish representatives Of the press
with such matter as they desire pub
lished, is presided over by Secretary
Simstrott. Tomorrow the report of
the officers will be submitted, and the
proposed amendments to the constitu-
tion discussed.
There are 900 switchmen in the
United States and only 5000 are or
ganized. Philadelphia has 1900
switchmen and only seventy-fve Of
ficiate with the union. The order has
been growing at the rate of 1000 a
year. John Lally of st. Louis, chair
man of the grievance committee of the
Gould roads, is here.

Special to The Statesman.
BRENNAN, Tex, Sept. 20.-The
killing at Long Point of VIM. Bode is
still all the talk here. 1t is stated that
Bode was specta tor when the diff
Guilty arose and took no part in it, and
it is possible the bullet that killed
him was not intended for him at all.
The ball was in progress on the Muller
platform, when John and Sam Maclin,
accompanied by Bedford Woods ar
rived. They had several rows before
the killing took place. 1t is stated
that one of the three drew knife on
Fritz KRONER and invited him to
fight. He refused. After this they
attacked Otto Krohoski, but
Ben Frank interposed and no.
body was hurt. Muller, the proprietor
of the platform, ordered them off the
place, out they paid no attention to
him, and it was on account of this
tnat the killing occurred. A negro
named Steve Lewis, who was working
at the bar, accompanied Bode when he
went down to where the Maclins,
Muller and Woods were quarreling.
He says he heard somebody say "put
up that pistol" or "give me that pis-
tol," and then the shooting began and
he fell on his face to avoid being shot.
Then Bode called out: stop shooting,
you will hit me directly" At the
fourth shot Bode said, ~ am shot"
and he died in ten minutes afterwards.
Neither the negro Lewis nor anyone
else seems to know who fired the shot
that killed Bode. Eight or ten shots
were fed by somebody. Justice A. L..
Steel of Gay Hill held the inquest,
but he failed to discover who fired the
fatal shot. Bode was buried near his
home yesterday afternoon.

ance company VS.. II. Bluman to re-
