POPULAR SCIENCE.

At Cassis, France, granite blocks OF
fifteen cubic metres have been moved by
wave force.
1t has been shown conclusively that
insect or meat fed plants bear heavier
ard more seeds than those which are un-
fed.
The new British cruiser Pique in re.
cent run is reported to have made
speed of seventeen knots an hour with
out difficulty.
Recent experiments in France on the
velocity ofpropagation of electric waves
give mean velocity which is almost ex-
actly that of light.
1t has been found that vaccination is
beneficial to horses having the glanders,
and this treatment is now being used in
France and Germany.
A marine railway has been built in
Elizabsthport, N. j., which is capable
of hauling 2500'ton vessel out Of the
water in nine minutes.
The enterprise of stocking the rivers
Of Arkansas aud Missouri with the rain
bow trout of California is ssid to be a
most gratifying success.
The alleged power of camphor to
awaken seeds or stimulate their germina-
ton has been shown by the experiments
of M. Henry de Varigny to have no real
exister ce.
Currents of water serve to vast ex-
tent the purpose of distributing seed.
Many trees are found on the. banks OF
streams which carry their nuts miles
away, where they spring into new for
ests.
An alloy which adheres firmly to glass
and can therefore be used for joining up
glass tubing, is said to be made by add
ing five per cent. of copper to ninety
i've per cent. of tin. The tin is first
melted and the copper added subss'

A recent English invention is buoy
ant life saving seat for ships. It is in
tended Tor deck seat, the upper and
lower parts being made of buoyant ma
terial, so that if thrown into the water
the apparatus will support several people
comfortably.
Sometime ago Professor Parisi, of
Athens, Greece, was surprised at being
relieved of tape worm after a very free
use of cocoanut. Since then he has
tried this as remedy with almost in.
variable success, and good results are
reported from its trial in America.
W. Werner writes to the zoolo5ist

and the like. With its electric lights
and telephones and telegraph systems,
you would not know Santiago from an
American city. Eight newspapers are
published daily. Besides large banks
the city has every necessity or luxury at
tcndant on the highest and most COM
plex state of civilization.
Valparaiso, the port and business cen
ter of Chile, on the Western slope of the
Cordllleras de la Costa, is very different
from Santiago. It is essentially an Eng
lish city. It Is large, of no particular
beauty, and with something Of cosmo.

English population. Germans, too, are
very numerous. A great deal of wealth
is centered in the town and invested IN
its enterprises and business projects.

all eyes were fixed. Paris is yet the
Chilean's ideal in matters of dress and

aping of the English to perceptible de-
gree. English is taught in the schools,

family home. It offers no welcome to
the stranger, and little even to the &C.
quaintance, for social lines are drawn
much more tightly in Chile than they
are here.
The well-to-do and poorer Chileans
live in more modest dwellings of the
same general plan. 1t remains to the
poems, the half-breeds, to live in
wretched sheds and novels, jammed to.
gether in frightful and filthy dens.
But it may be that travellers unwittingly
exaggerate the poverty of the poems.
Doubtless well-to.do Chileans who visit
New York write home thrilling descrip-
tions of Hester street.
Most of the dwelling houses are built
of adobe or sun-dried brick for the first
story. If there be a second story it is
often of cane, the whole plastered with
mud and colored and ornamented. But
few houses have more than one story,
for Chile is land of earthquakes. AL
though common and of constant occur
renee, earthquakes are not regarded as
either dangerous or unpleasant. Many
private houses are of large size, cover
ing 400 or 500 feet square of ground,
and accommodating three generations of
family with dining rooms, which will
seat sixty at table. Many have archi-
tectural pretensions, and are decorated
with elaborate mouldings and marble
slabs. But stucco is depended upon,
and houses are painted every color and
shade distinguishable by the human
eye. Santiago has q large theatre,
which is patronized extensively. e.
An admirable understanding of the
Chilean people can be obtained by visit
ing the plaza in the evening. The scene
has been described by more than one
traveller. A military band plays Euro.

old, promenade in the winding pathways
under the trees. Many of the costumes
worn have been imported, and all have
been cut after Partisan fashion plates.
The men wear back coats and silk hats.
the women and girls dresses of silks and
expensive fabrics. There is more or less
flirting, perhaps more boldly carried on
than with US. The scene is enlivened by
the presence of many officers in gay uni
form, for Chileans affect the army, and
are fond of its display. Mixed with the
throng of gay and light-hearted whites,
are the mixed people, the poems, who
have Indian blood. The women are
dark skinned, with straight black hair,
and are homely after they pass the age
of rosy cheeks. They dress coarsely and
are vulgar IN their manners. Both men
and women acknowledge the superiority
of the whites. The whites IN turn treat

Chile's War Fleet.

In January, 1880, the Chilean war
feet included three ironclads and one
deck protected cruiser, ten first class
and two second class torpedo boats, two
corvettes, three rams, two dispatch YES
sells, two transports, four gunboats and
four sailing vessels.
The Esmeralda is an old boat, but a
magnificent cruiser. She was built for
the Chilean Government in England at a
cost of 81, ,500,0 She was chartered
by the British Government in 1883,
when England was involved in trouble
with Russia, but returned afterward to
Chile. She was badly battered up IN
the Chilean war with Peru, but was re-
paired and restored to her primal glory.
The Esmeralda is protected cruiser and
one of the best war ships ahoat.
A formidable addition to the Chilean
navy will be the Captain Prat, now
nearing completion in France, and ex'
pected to prove one of the most power
full war vessels ever constructed.

would remember the tragic tale the very
moment the name was spoken. And how
the news would spread
Need wonder any longer that no call

wonder now what Edna Lynton meant
when she tried all woman could to dis
suade me from this fatal marriage?
Fool! Blind, infatuated dupe that I
had been to sell my liberty for the sake of

But, alas, more remained to be discov-

to meet me, and two were waiting out
side the station. Selecting that to which
q pair of horses was attached, I was
about to enter it, when the driver stopped
me. It was engaged, he said, for lady.
I therefore took possession of the other,
and we were soon passed by the two
horse cab, which I could not help MOTTO
ing was being driven at unusual speed.
About half mile from the Grange we
met the same vehicle returning; ray Of
moonlight glinting in showed me that it
was empty.
The entrance to the grounds was
reached. The gates stood open. A few
seconds more and should be in the pres
ence Of my wife. Sudden conviction that
I was not prepared assailed me. I called
to the driver to stop; I paid him, took
my bag. and walked slowly along the
moonlit csrriage-drive.
I did this to gain time-to no other mo-
tive can I assign the action-to gain time
to frame the words which could best ex-
cuse my absence and explain why had
returned day earlier than had named.
1t was supposed I had gone to York
about q horse. I had not bought the
horse. The less said the better.
Still llbrooding over my somber thoughts,
almost unconsciously I turned along
favorite walk which led round the side of
the house. All here lay in deepest shadow;
but o broad flood Of light from the
music room window crossed the path and
lost itself in the shrubbery beyond.
George is in there, I thought; but,
instead of Fastening forward, I stood still.
One minute more with the fresh March
wind blowing on me-one minute more,

had even advanced step with the in
tention of tapping on the pane to be let
in, as had done numberless times be-
fore, when it was flung suddenly open,
and shadow fell along the Illuminated
space.
There, that is better. The air will
soon revive you." And the voice was the
voice of Gascoigne, but he spoke with
tenderness had never heard from him
before.
1Yes-I-I can breathe now" And
these words were spoken by my wife.
The shadow seemed then to separate
to form two; and I felt certain that he,

mark!-had been holding her in his armsl

THE recent decision Of the Supreme
Court in Michigan in respect to the
grounds on which will can be prop
erly contested ought to aid the New
York courts materially in determining
a knotty case which has come before
them. The will in the case is con-
tested on the ground that the testator
was in the habit Of making eXecrable
puns, especially on the names Oh
friends and acquaintances. Under
the spirit Of the Michigan decision
this habit is not conclusive proof that
the capacity to make a will is want.
ing; and we believe the New York
courts will so hold. The relatives Of
a man so afflicted ought to be con-
tented with the knowledge that he
has abandoned it, and let his will
stand.

them like slaves. A Chilean will not
thank q peon for service.
The military atmosphere is every
where. The officers are bold, arrogant
fellows who know their tactics by heart
and are accustomed to command. The
Peruvian war showed that they were in
trepid and fearless soldie rs as we'll as
brainy tacticians. The common soldiers,
the poems, are stocky, sturdy, powerful,
brutal, fearless. They love fighting, and
they have no fear of death.
Large and expensive barracks and
military schools are now in course of
erection in Santiago, for the Chileans
mean to cultivate the art of war. The
Chileans are close students of European
armies, tactics and systems. Of the
other institutions Santiago has her share.
She has an extensive public school sys-
TEN, galleries of art, scientific collection
and societies, a n ational college of a

Lemons at Funerals.

In 1878 was called upon to oficiate
Qor a neighboD at funeral in a Ian
cashire (EnglandD town. The relatives,
working people, but not poor, desired
me to attend at the house before the pro-
cession left it. I found the company
drinking lemon.juice, mixed with warm
water, sweetened and spiced. The YES
sci was large two-handled pot mug,
and the rind of the lemon was wreathed
from handle to handle. ! found it
would have been a great offense to refuse
to drink of it. A similar custom in
Yorkshire is noticed in the Gentleman's
Magazine, 179s.-Notes and Queries.

party and the reception. Even in the
middle classes there is not that joyous
freedom of social intercourse which we
know. The young man who falls in
love must be content with unsatisfactory
tete.a-tetes in crowded ball rooms. he
must apply to the girls parents and OBJ
tain permission to address the daughter
before he is granted any additional lib
erty. Lovers are never permitted to
meet alone until they have been mar
ried. ....tj. g..
Chilean women of the upper class ex-
haust the vocabularies of travellers. They
are exceedingly slender and graceful, al
most always with rich dark compilations,
long, soft, and jet black hair and black
eyes under long drooping lashes. They
speak the soft Spanish language with.
softer voices than their fair American
sisters of the northern hemisphere. They
are educated carefully. Many of them
speak English, and few speak French.
Travelling in Chile is rapid and COM
Portable. The railroads are well con-
structed and the rolling stock is of the
best. Express trains make almost as
good time as they do in the United
States. Parlor cars are common on the
principal roads. The number of travel
ers is amazing in nation of 3,O00,0 200
people. The usual explanation is that
the lower classes are restless folk, never
satisfied with one place, always wanting
change. Tie idleness of their Spanish
proeenitors and their Indian shiftlessness
make the poems rowing good-for-noth-
ings, but always happy. They will never
work long at a job. As soon as they
have something ahead they knock OF
and spend it.
The country districts abound in grand
scenery and bits of pleasant and odd
rural life. The grape country and the
wine presses interest the traveller, fol
wine is becoming an important product
of the land, and is securing a demand
abroad. The great grazing districts,
with their vaqueros, or Indian cowboys,
and their rodeos, or roundups, as oul
ranchmen term the periodic stock ac'
counting, and the great forest tracts,
with their interesting Indian inhabitants,
are much talked of by travellers. Amaz-
ing tales, too, are told of the game in
the southern forests and of the savage
pumas which make life exciting for the
mountalneer of the warmer REGIONS
New York Sun.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1892-02-24

possessors of America. The lower class
is mixed race, combining the blood of
the Spaniards and the Araucanians. The
mixed people are called peones, in Eng
. lish poems. They constitute tie bulk of
the population, and do the laborious
and menial work. In the third class are
the Araucanians pure and simple. There
are $4,000 of the savages in the country.
They yield a ready obedience to the
laws when they leave their wilds for
civilization, and they can be impressed
into the army if desired. They are
fierce, cruel, and tireless fighters.
Nearly all travellers who write of Chile
fail to distinguish sufficiently between
the Chilean of pure Spanish, or, at least,
white blood, and the mixed class. That
is one reason why Americans have such
wrong impressions of the people. The
Chilears are as white as we are, and near
ly as numerous as the poems, whom they
treat imperiously. There are naturally
many of the lower class whose admixture
of Indian blood is very small and who
are nearly white. For that, however,
the unfortunates must suffer.
The Chileans are a proud race,
arrogant, pretentious and fond OF dis
play. There is much of their Spanish
forefathers about them. They have
acquired in the brisk climate an energy
not Spanish, but have retained love OF
ease and a carelessness or slovenllness
with their work which is traceable
directly. They have kept their Spanish
beauty. They are not stunted in stature
to the degree noticeable in the descend
ants of Spaniards in other South Ameri-
c1n countries, probably another result
