The silver output of this country is
growing steadily greater-it was more

realized that the argentiferous regions

remain yet to be discovered, of which a
mere suggestion is afforded by the re-
cent finds of gigantic ore masses at
Creede and Aspen. One of these, called

Some Peculiarities of Birds and Animals.
Some animals exhibit queer lack
Of sense, says man who has observed
them. Put a buzzard in pen about
six feet square and open at the top, and
1t Is as much prisoner as though 1t
were shut up in box. This is because
buzzards always begin their flight by
taking a short run, and they either can
not or will not attempt to fly unless they
can do so. Again, take a common bum
blebee and put it In goblet. 1t will
remain a prisoner for hours, trying to
escape through the sides, without ever
thinking of es aping from the top. So
also bat cannot rise from a perfectly
level surface. Although it is remark
ably nimble in its flight when on the
wing, and can fly for many hours at
time without taking the least rest, il
placed on the floor or on fat ground it
ia absolutely unable to use its wings.
The only thing it can do is TO shuttle
helplessly and painfully along until 1t
reaches some trifling elevation, from
which it can throw itself into the air,
when at once it is off like flash. New

Boys anl Girls.

The year of greatest growth in boys
is the 18th; in girls, the 14th. While
girls reach full height in their 18th year,
they acquire full weight at the age Of
20. Boys are stronger than girls from
birth to the 1lth year; then girls be-
come superior physically to the 18th
year, when the tables are again turned
and remain so. From November to
April children grow very little and gain
no weight from April to July they gain
in height, but lose in weight; and from
July to November they increase greatly
in weight, but not in height.-British

How Great cities Grow.

Unthinking people suppose that big
cities grow like jelly fishes. gradually
expanding from a single center. But
they don't. They cover the ground just
as crop of parsley spreads over a new
ly-hoed garden. Shoots spring up here
and there from great number OF GEN.
tral roots. From these various centers
1t gradually extends until the ground is
completely covered.
The various root centers are plainly
discernible about Chicago, and the vacant
spaces between them are just as plain.
Leave the city and you run through q
rapidly filling blank spot before you strike
Englewood; blank, then Auburn Park;
another blank, then Pullman to the
west, South Chicago to the east, and
just beyond you Hammond, with vacant
spaces between each OF them. Another
blank and then you come to Griihth-a
rapidly growing new center.
This leads one 10 inquire what is
necessary to make a oot-center? What
determines where they will grow? Evil

CHOLERA IN GOTHAM.
THE ARRIVAL OF A SUPPOSED
PLAOUE-STRlCKE SHIP.
The Moravia's Ohicers Declare the Dis
ease Cholerine-No Report Made tn the
Health Inspectors, Who Discovered the
Fact by Accident.
Had Twenty-Five Deaths.

New York special:
The scourge has reached New York.
Quarantine officials discovered that the
steamship Moravia, from Hamburg, had
great deal OF sickness on board and
that twenty-five persons had died on
the trip over. The ships physicians
told the health officers that some of the
passengers on the ship were suffering
from cholerne, but that it was not gem
uinc Asiatio cholera. An immediate in
spection of the passengers was made,
and as result the vessel was ordered
to the lower bay. Thirteen of the per-
sons who died on the way over were
Polanders. Twenty of them were chill
dren. All the dead were buried at sea
on the days that they died.
AS soon as the discovery was made
that SO many persons had died and that
there was a great deal OF sickness on
board the quarantine officers refused to
permit a person to leave the ship or
dered it TO weigh anchor and proceed to
the island selected for cholera patients.
1t was discovered by the officers who
made tho examination OF the steerage
passengers that there were three cases
of measles on board. The health
officials refused to permit anyone to
board the vessel or allow anyone to
leave. The news Of the discovery was
brought TO quarantine station by the
health boat.
They Call 1t "Cho' erine.'
Dr.. Jenkins, the Health Officer, re-
ceived the report of the officials who
boarded the vessel, and gave orders to
isolate the steamer completely. He
said that from the casual investigation
made he thought the disease was, as
stated by the ships surgeon, cholerine,
but that the persons who had died came
from the infected provinces of Germany
and Russia. AS far as he had been in
formed there was little sickness on the
vessel. When she dropped anchor at
quarantine he had not time TO make q
thorough examination of the cause of
the deaths and sickness on board, but
will do so this afternoon. Some Of the
passengers On board of the Moravla did
not know Of the existence of the disease
on board.
Ships Officers Suppressed the Nsws.
1t is said that when the health officers
first boarded the Moravia the ships Off
GERS told them that there was no sick
ness oniboard other than the measles,
and exhibited a clean bill of health from
the health officers at Hamburg. The
ships officers appeared reticent, and the
presence Of cholerine or Asiatic cholera,
as it might turn out to be, was not dis
covered until the officers had nearly
completed their examination.

eAIETY AND PIETY.
Methodist Conference Asked to Sanction
the Pleasures of the Dance.

OMAHA, Neb., May 9.-The old-school
Methodist will no doubt be Mortified
when he learns that scheme is on foot
to allow the religious to mix little
gaiety with their piety. Among the
many memorials presented to the
Methodist conference today is one from
the Troy conference, which petitions the
General conference to expunge from the
discipline section 242, relating to amuse-
ments, or at least that it be modified so
that dancing may be permissible. The
memorial is approved by Bishop Foster.
At today's session, DR.. j. H. King of
New York, offered resolution for a
proposed amendment to the constitution
of the United States. 1t relates to the
protection of the public schools in the
United States against religious encroach-
ments and defines the attitude of The
churches with relation to schools. The
resolution was adopted.
Dir. King offered another resolution de-
claring tile appropriation of money by
the national government for ecelesiasfi-
cal education not in accord with tbe
principles of the constitution and that
the churches should refuse to receive
money from the government for the edu-
cation of the Indians. This was carried
unanimously.

Merrow was killed at the Maine Central
crossing in Auburn at Ills today by the
outgoing passenger train. She was
driving farm wagon and going out Of
town at the High street extension cross
ing. She was driving sleek-looking
horse that became frightened at the train
and that dashed on straight ahead in
spite of the woman's frantic effort to
stop it. The fagman at the crossing
ran down the track and endeavored to
stop the horse but could not, and the ill
fated woman was thrown head foremost
under the wheels of the swiftly moving
train. When the train was stopped and
the trainmen and others ran to the track,
the woman was found to have been
instantly killed, her head crushed out of
all recognition and severed from her
body. The rest of her body was badly
mangled, but not so much as the head
and features.

against the government. The news of a

The poor wretches who were accused
have declared that they were simply
hired by Mason, knew nothing of his
plot, and had no connection with the

at the tortures, is Yu, fugitive criminal

is very Intelligent, and speaks English.
The records of Marking prison contain
no parallel to the torture he has inflicted
on three respectable Chinese accused of
sharing Mason's conspiracy.
An English reporter gained an entrance
to the prison and found that one of the
accused men had served 13 years in the
customs service creditably. He
was lying on a bed of rags, and
his companions had to lift him to a
sitting posture as his legs were paralyzed
from torture. He said he had been tied
UP by the thumbs, fogged, and had paper
burned under his nose, but had refused
to confess, because he was innocent.
