A VISIT FROM THE GAR.
II Causes an Endless Amount OF Trouble
and yexAtion In Russia.

| II causes IN Endless Amount OF Trouble
and Ye1Ation IN Russia.
Many troubles and vexations were
caused by a visit which was paid the
other day by the car to the military
camp at Izora. The latter place is a
village on the Neva, about ten miles
from st. Petersburg, and accessible by
| water or rail. On the occasion of the
visit soldiers were placed on the rail-
way. Not far from the city are num-
Der of mills, the workmen at which live
on the opposite side of the line, going
home daily for their meals. These
workmen got to their work on Satur-
day morning, but were not allowed to
cross the line again the whole day, be-
ing obliged to go without their food or
buy it in a public house. No traffic was
allowed. Even people who had their
own farm lands on the sides Of
the railway were forbidden to walk
across. The trains from Moscow
were stopped, and were sent off all
within quarter of nm hour of each
other in the evening. The river traffic
was also entirely suspended.
1t can be readily imagined, writes
correspondent of the London Daily
News, what discomfort such suspension
Of traffic occasioned. and it is only
Russian official who can see the good of
it. On the way back the car wanted q
cup of tea, but owing to q sudden jerk
of the railway carriage the tea was up
set. The next morning $50 goes the
story the whole line between st.
Petersburg and Izora. was carefully
searched by numbers of men, ordered to
find out what jerked the cars teacupl
Every time the car goes up and down
to Peterhof the steamers have to be
decorated, traffic is suspended on the
river, and occasionally even the loading
Of steamers is stopped.

CHOLERA suPeRsTITIons.

Orientals Adopt Novel Methods for Ward.
ing or tho Dread Epidemic.
Persians and Turks are almost scared
to death at the approach of cholera and
resort to extraordinary devices in the
hope Of warding off the dread epidemic.
Thus in Persia the natives weep, wall
and gnash their teeth and in Turkey in
ccssant prayers go up to the prophet,
imploring him to preserve his faithful
followers from the terrible scourge.
A strange ceremony was seen in
Mcshed the other day. A horse, covered
with tiger skin, was led out into the
principal street and all the Persians in
the city gathered round him. From the
tiger skin hung countless amulcts and
the animal was otherwise curiously
caparisoncd. A lad of sixteen years
was mounted on the horse, and, after u
black flag had been placed in his hands,
the great crowd moved in procession
around the market place, at the head
being three young girls, who were
dressed in red trousers and black jack
cts, who shouted ALI IIoussem! Ali
Houssem!' to which the throng replied
with loud prayers, lamentations and
After awhile the procession broke up
and the crowd went home and, gather
ing supply of provisions, such as
bread, mutton, butter, eggs, ETC., took
it down to the riverside and spent the
remainder of the day there feasting,
weeping, wailing and pounding their
breasts with their cliuched fists Their
one aim was to propitiate their deity
and thus escape cholera, and it never
occurred to them that they were ac-
tually inviting the epidemic by feasting
in this mad fashion.

PIRATE cHIEFTAINs CAPTURED.
Soldiers Resort to Strategy and Break up
hand.

Two piratical chieftains, formerly of
the band of notorious freebooters under
the formidable Wang King-man, were
captured a short time ago near Ningpo,
China, by soldiers who had been look
ing for them.
The soldiers, disRuisedlas merchants,
set out in junk to the regions which
the pirates had been accustomed to
visit, and waited for the latter to take
the bait. Eager of prey, the pirates
soon encountered them, when a fight
ensued and resulted in the capture of a
certain Siao Lau-matze and six of his
non and some rifles and ammunition.
Five unfortunate persons were also
found who had been kept in captivity
by the pirates. The principal leader,
named Ii, was not among the captured,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. Upon
the application of little punishment
the prisoners were soon glad to furnish
information concerning their chieftain,
who, they said, was concealing him
self in q temple on the Pootoo noun
tain. Disguised in foreign costumes the
veterans proceeded to the spot and sue
cecdcd in capturing Ii.
The chieftain is said to possess pro-
digious strength, and it was not until
one of his arms was wounded that he
submitted to be bound. He is now 60
ing through the preliminary trial.
The viceroY at Canton reports the ex-
ecution of one hundred and nine Grim
inals within the past year charged with

NEW SPECIES OF TROUT.
Yellow-Finned Fish Found In Some OF
the Colorado Rivers.

| A Yellow-Finned Fish Found In Some of
the Colorado Rivers.
In Twin lakes the commission found
new form or variety of the mountain
trout, an interesting discovery to
anglers, of which DIR. Jordan writes in
the American Angler as follows:
Besides the common grecn-back
trout another trout has long been
known to anglers to exist in Twin
lakes, and Messrs. Gordon Land and
George r. Fisher have in one way or
another at different times called attcn-
ton to it. Mr.. Fisher accompanied me
from Lcadville in search of the fish, and
morning of fly fishing secured for us
about ten fine specimens. These repre-
sent very distinct form or variety of
the mountain trout, which we recog-
nize rs distinct sub-species under the
name Of salmo myl1iss macdonald. We
have taken pleasure in naming the yell
low fin for the United States fish com
missioner, Marshall Mcdonald, in rec
ognition of his services in connection
with the propagation of the American
salmonid@. 1t is not unlikely that this
may prove to be desirable variety for
introduction into gravelly ponds and
lakes in other regions. The yellow fin
trout is largely on the gravels and
about the north or sunny side of the
lake. 1t is not often taken in deep
water. 1t spawns in spring, and the
suckers devour the spawn in the streams
and spawning beds. The trout, how
ever, feeds freely on young suckers, and
sometimes on young trout. This species
has the lower fins bright yellow; there
is broad yellowish lateral shade by
which the species can be recognized in
the water. The black spots are numer-
Gus and very small. There is little red
under the throat and none at all else
where. The flesh is paler and more
watery than that of the green-bacl1
trout, which is usually regarded as the
better food fish. This paleness of color
may be associated with it's feeding hab-
its, the trout which feed on crustacea
having the redder flesh"

GREAT NAP OF THE WORLD.
A Production In which All the LsAAlal
Nations Are to Take Part.


Nations Arc to Take Part.
At the geographical congress in Berne
year ago Prof Penck proposed the
publication of map of the entire
world on uniform scale of one in
900, 900, or about sixteen statute miles
to the inch, the various nations to take
part in the production of the map. The
proposition was favorably entertained,
and committee was appointed to take
steps for its realization. The geog.
raphers of various nations, on the
whole, have received the idea with IA
vor, and there seems to be no doubt
that the map will be produced.
Each sheet of the map, says the New
York Sun, up to the go degrees north
latitude will embrace degrees in each
direction. The more northern sheets
will embrace 10 degrees of longitude.
The representation of the whole earth,
including the sea, will require 936 of
these sheets, while the land alone may
be shown on 100 sheets. 1t is pro-
posed to give great attention to
physical and political features. DR..
Ravenstein, the English mapmaker,
says the rivers will be in blue
and the hills in brown. Contour lines
will be drawn at elevations Of 100, 800,
500 aud 1,200 meters, and the areas in
closed by them are to be tinted. 1t is
expected that sheets which deal with
countries already geographically sur
veyed will be engraved on copper. The
remaining sheets will probably be lith-
ographed. The Greenwich meridian
will be accepted for the entire map, and
all attitudes are to be marked in meters.
The official spelling of all countries
using the Latin alphabet is to be re-
tanned. Other alphabets are to be trans
liberated in accordance with system
to be agreed upon, while names in I'M
written languages will be spelled
Theoretically. 1t is estimated that the
cost of an edition of 1000 copies of this
map, showing only the land surface,
will be 1857, 100, and as the sale Of the
first edition at shillings sheet would
produce only s47s, 595, the deficit would
have to be made up by the governments
concerned or by liberal private patrons.
Prof. Ravenstein says he sees nothing
Utopian in the scheme. Difficulties may
arise rs to the spelling OF the names
and the introduction Of the meter, but
the essential thing, to his mind, is the
production OF map on uniform scale
