They in turn attacked him and the
fight soon became general so that there
was much commotion.
When the fight became inte.estina
q dynamite. cartridge was sent down
from the divers boats and exploded
by electricity. The result was that
fish. mangled shark, and human re-
mains came up out OF the water as
thogh a volcano had broken loose down
there.
When all subsidized the divers went
below and recommended work. No
fish We're found then. They had all
been driven away and they approached
no more that day.
The divers secured all the guns upon
the vessel and all the ammunition that
had not been water damaged. No
attempt was made to get the machin-
cry or anything else at that time, guns
and ammunition being required by the
insurgents more than anything else.
Hartman did not believe it was posi-
bic to raise the vessel, but it is under
stood that she is now being taken
to pieces as far as possible, and will
be raised later on with the aid Of pom

IN THE WASTE BASKET.

q well-known journal in the east said,
the other day: eff a newspaper would
one day print the contents of its waste
basket there would porbably be riot.
There would certainly be trouble in
many homes, arrests in many directions,
shotguns in others, and trouble all
around. But the patrons never see the
waste basket. He simply glances sharp
~ at the beautifully printed page and
complains if one letter is upside down,
growls if one name out of five hundred
happens to be wrong, kicks because his
communication signed Taxpayer has
been condensed into respectable English,
frowns because the editor did not take
his advice about publicly telling bis
neighbors Of their shortcomings, and is
generally disgruntled. He knows his
share of the waste basket, but if he
could have one look at the contribution
to that receptacle made by his neighbors
and friends, he would be thankful fol
the existence of a man with intelligence
and courage not to print all he knows
and to temper what he does print.

HAVE MANY TRICKS.

Smuggling of Chinese and opium
f1ourishcS in the Puget sound region,
and just as SO0u rs one trick is dis

termed an opium combine is reported
to be in full working order in Canada.
Silks from China are baled with Il

The bales are apparently too precious
for this traffic, but in that notion lies
possibly the secret of success. On 30
the bales to the Atlantic towns and
then the opium is reShipped to Puget
sound for distribution. There are
other motheds of supplying this vicious
article of contraband to its enslaVed
consumers. AS long rs u high duty
exists the temptation to smuggle will
be all-powerfull in spite Of penalties

TOO MANY KANGAROOS.

Hardwick's Science Gossip:-The
kangaroo plague has always been a
great nuisance to the Australian SQUAT
tiers, for ON an average these animals
consume as much grass as sheep. It
IS stated that on sheep run Of 10000
to $4,000 acres 10000 kansaroos were
killed annually for six consecutive
years, and yet their numbers remained
very formidable in the locality. In the
colony of South Australia hundreds of
thousands of kangaroos are slaughtered
annually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities The number
of these marsupials in New South
Wales in 1889 was estimated to be over
100000, and yet about 100000 kan
garoos and 65O,OOO wallabies were de-
stroyed in the colony in that wear.
a bonus of Is cents for each kanga-
roo killed is offered in Australia. hence
the colonists are gradually extermina-
ting these native animals. Over 500
900 skins are gradually shipped to En-.
gland and large number to North
America to be converted into leather.
The macropidae include several kinds
of kangarooS and wallabies The pro-
gress of settlement in Australia has
driven these animals from the more
densely populated parts of the Austria
liam continent. but in the country and
unsettled districts they ere still numcr-
GUS enough to cause very considerable
damage to the natural grasses. So
serious has been the injury thus
wrought that the colonial government
and run-holders pay a small sum q
head for the destruction of the kanga-

Just crossed over from the board Of

The famous board of trade Spectator
looked younger and stronger than he
did when he stepped on the cars for
New York two years ago. He was
in high spirits and when asked If he
intended going into the wheat pit again
he replied in a humorous way:
II don't owe anybody cent and I've
got - cents left to get a glass OF
whisky, so what's the use of bothering,"
and then as he settled down in a hotel
chair he remarked: I'm glad to be
back in Chicago again, for it's the city
of my adoption. New York is pretty
good sort of place in a metropolitan
way, but / don't like it. Down there
they want to find out if you have q

MAKING A DYNAMO HARMLESS.

At st. Johns college, Oxford, En-
gland, an effective means has been dis
covered for protecting delicate inStru-
ments from magnetic influence III their
vicinity. In putting some electrical
machinery in this college n seven-ton
transformer of the dynamo motor type
had to be placed within six feet Of tho
testing-room, which is furnished with
several rejecting galvenomcters To
protect the Instruments from the in
tiuence Of the magnetic field of the
transformer, one of the professors hit
on the idea Of Il wall of scrap iron.
This idea was carried out by building
two brick walls about eight inches
apart around three sides Of the dynamo
nearest the laboratory. The space be-
tween the walls was then filled with
the scrap iron. Tests made with deli
cate magnetometer showed that the
scrap iron wall was an effective bar
rier to the magnetism.

officers of the Spanish war vessels now
at New York. Their destination was
the lower bay, where they should
board the Reina Maria Christina and
pay their respects to the Infanta. They
made a short stay at quarantine
and then proceeded out for the

which lay outside waiting to escort

AS the hours wore on the sun gained
added brilliancy and the day was per-

passed out to the Hook and was fol-
lowed shortly afterward by the Sanish
warohip Infanta Isabel. At about
T:l5 o'clock navy-yard tug that had
been down the bay came along side

patches for Commander Davis of the

Restoring q Withered Arm.

The story comes from London of
wonderful surgical operation that
promises to be successful Five years
ago q workman injured his right arm
and q careless surgeon so treated it
that it withered and became useless
Recently it was decided to examine
the arm, and it was accordingly opened
and explored. The nerve was found
to be partially divided. Two fresh ends
were made and section Of the sciatic
nerve from a live rabbit was stitched in
The patient has now recovered the
power in his arm, which is regaining its
original size, and he is following his
employment.

HUMAN NATURE.

Such times as the present try the
temper of men as fine steel is tried be-
fore it is used in the construction of
delicate machinery.
With distress and embarrassment on
all sides, occasioned by no fault Of the
sufferers, the business man who can
carry his head well above the agitated
waves has frequent opportunity to put
his humanity to the test as he observes
the struggles of his less fortunate
brethren.
Travellers in railway and street cars,
where scraps of conversation and COM
ment drift into their ears, learn much
about their fellows. 1t is interesting
and instructive to indulge in this sort of
legitimate eavesdropping. 1t is not
altogether edifying, however. or COM
forting. 1t gives one an impression
that the millennium is yet long distance
in the future.
Comment upon misfortune is too
often of an unkindly tenor. "a. has
made an assignment" "Ah! There's
generally but little sympathy in the
exclamation but the lack of sympathy
Is in a majority of cases merely self
protection. Men cannot dispense
sympathy as a spring does water, to all
who deserve it. They would quickly be-
come bankrupt.
Still, the rigor of the situation has
undoubtedly been very greatly enhanced
by the selfshness of the policy of men
who could well afford to be generous.
Mean advantage has been taken Of the
stress to evade obligations, the observ-
ance of which would have lessenad dis
tress. 1t is probably not too much TO
say that at least one-haf of the rigor of
the hard times is due to sel6shness and
greed.
1t is not comfortable to indulge in
this view but shrewd observers will en-
dorse it as the true one. The pound of
flesh is always demanded when it is
the most inconvenient to spare it.

NEWPORT FARCE ENDED.

Colonel Honey's rump house of rep
resentatives has taken a recess until
January next. Before doing SO il
adopted resolutions setting forth its
purity and denouncing the iniquity of
the governor and the senate.
Nothing else was to be expected. The
Democrats finding themselves in a hole
appeared to have tried to pull the hole
in after them by ''resoluting" against
Governor Brown and the Senate.
The trick is transparent and will deceive
no one. The Democrats under tho
leadership of Colonel Honey resorted to
revolutionary methods to gain control
n the state, and failing in that appealed
to the supreme court, which has decided
that their action was illegal and that
that of Governor Brown and the senate
was not only justifiable but really neces-
sary under the circumstances.
With the facts in the case the people
of the state are too familiar to be de.
ceived by the buncombe aud clap-trap
of which Mr.. George L. Browns reso.
lutions are made up. They are clear
sighted enough TO see that
the tendency toward "anaschy."
of which Mr.. Browne. resolutions
so grandiloquently speak, is not charge
able TO the governor or the senate but to
Colonel Honey and his followers who de.
he'd the constitution and outraged hon.
ored precedents and customs in their
desperate attempt 70 secure control of
the state governments.
