An Excited Passage of Arms Relieves the
MonOtony.
PARIS, May 27.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his argument in behalf of
the British case before the Behring sea
tribunal of arbitration.
Sir Charles RusselPs statement that
the American pleaders had cited the Of
fetal report of Mr.. III. w. Elliott, re-
cording his observations in 1S72-74
caused an exciting passage at arms be-
tween counsel, which served to relieve
the otherwise monotonous character of
the session.
Mr.. j. c. Carter interposed with the
assertion that the counsel for the
United States had avoided all refer
ence to Mr.. Elliott.
Sir Charles Russell said: "That is, an
awkward admission, seeing that the
United States congress appointed Mr..
Elliott commissioner after the con-
troversy began"
In reply to President Baron de Cour-
eel. Mr.. Carter explained that he mis-
trusted Mr.. Elliott because Mr.. Elliott
gave theories and not facts, and there

Serfs In North America.

The eight thousand inhabitants of the Magdalen islands, which lie to the south of the gulf of St Lawrence, are said to be practically serfs, and are appealing to the dominion government to purchase the islands and set them free. In 179S the islands were granted by letters patent to Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, and he and his heirs were made feudal lords of them. The present holder of the lief is Isaac Tristim Coffin, of Chateau de la Madeleine, Boulogne-Sur-Mer, France. The repre- sentative of the Magdalen islands, E. J. Flynn, recently declared in the Quebec legislature that he regretted that the government could not see it's way to purchase the islands on account of the impoverished condition of the provincial finances. Yet until such purchase is effected it is impossible to release the population of the islands from yasSalare-N O, Picayune

Judge Moore's Decision Regarding the In-

 BROOKLYN, N. Y, April S.-Judge Moore of the Court of Sessions, Brooklyn, has decided that all of the Brooklyn off, cials who were indicted on account of their connection with the Columbian celebra- tiop, with one exception, will have to go to trial.
 Judge Moore's decision was on the mo- tion of the attorneys of the defendants to dismiss the indictment against them, on the ground that sufficient evidence was not presented to the Grand Jury to war rant them in finding true bills.
 He dismissed the indictments that had been found against City Auditor Anton Weber. They were six in number The Court said that there was no evidence con- meeting him with any alleged fraud.
 District Attorney RidReway is now out of town but when he returns the other off cers, thirtyone in number, will be ar raigned to plead.

Keepers Had a Hard struggle to Get the
 Insane People Out.
 DELAWARE, O., April S.-Fire was dis covered issuing from the roof of the build ing of the insane asylum of the county in f1rmary, and, an alarm being given, the entire force of attendants rushed to the building, where 34 inmates were locked in their cells. The turnkey was at the time in another part of the establishment with the keys, and it was found necessary to burst in the doors of the cells and bring the inmates out.
 There were no means of fighting the fire except by buckets manned by attendants, and it soon became evident that the build ing could not be saved. All efforts were therefore turned to save the inmates from the flames.
 The latter were frantic with fright and rushed wildly about amid the smoke and flames. The violent ones seemed determ- ined to remain in the building, and they fought the attendants like tigers. The attendants found it necessary to club the infuriated inmates, and only succeeded in getting them out by pushing, crowding and pounding
 The building was completely gutted.

THE ANGRY SEA.
Why 1t Is Gained When OH Is Poured on
 It's Surface.

Why 1t Is Gained When Oil Is Poured on Its Surface.
 It has long been known that oil poured upon the surface of stormy water has wonderful effect in calming it. Many vessels have probably been saved from destruction by this simple method, and every month the United States hydro graphic bureau publishes, along with it's Pilot Chart" dozens of letters from ship captains describing the results they have obtained by the use of oil in smoothing the waves of an angry sea.
 The reason of this curious effect of oil upon water is, in a general sense, perfectly apparent. It depends upon the viscosity, or adhesiveness, of the oil, which causes it to act somewhat like skin drawn over the more un- able surface of the water so that the tendency of the latter to break into spray as it is driven by the wind is re- strained. The danger to ships from a high-running sea arises from this break ing of the waves. As long as the sur face of the waves is smooth and un- broken, the ship rides easily upon them.
 But while the principle upon which the oil acts is thus evident enough, the real method of its action is not so ap- parent. This has recently been sub jected to mathematical investigation by MT. A. E. Basset in England.
 He shows that the viscosity of oil is so much greater than that of water, be- ing in the case of olive oil more than
 two hundred and thirty times as great that the water may be regarded as a frictionless liquid in comparison with the oil. The surface tension between the oil, and the air is also shown to be considerably greater than that between the oil and the water. With these data he finds that the motion will be stable, or there will be no breaking of the waves unless the latter vary in length between two certain fractions of a centimetre, namely, nine-elevenths and siX-fifthS.
 The result would, of course, vary a little with different kinds of oil, and as matter of fact the reports Of mariners show that there is.a considerable differ ence in the effect produced upon the waves, depending upon the sort of oil that is useo. Petroleum and various kinds of fish oils have been -remployed.
 The effect is always found to be bene-
 icial, though in varying degrees.- Youths Companion

DECORATING WASTE PLACES
Ingenious Modes Of Making Attractive

Ingenious Modes of Making Attractive
 Ever the Disagreeable.
 It is one thing to situate oneself where everything is agreeable, and quite another to make every thing agreeable where one happens to be situated. One woman, who lived in city, once upon time had her view of a pretty park entirely shut off by a brick wall built & few feet distant from her window. Not to be cheated of her scrap of beauty, she made use of her artistic gifts in that direction. She painted a beautiful landscape with an exquisitely refreshing water view, had a bit of casing made, box fashion, outside of her window and placed this painting at the back of it; sloping roof with glass covered the top of the box, which in reality made sort of bay window, and through an ad- unstable screen fresh air was admitted.
 The sides of this box were covered with soft gray paper, and a drapery covered the edge of the picture at the back. In an easy-chair or on the lux urious divan that formed part of the furniture of the room, one could look ito what seemed an interminable dis tance over that bit of rolling water. It not only shut out disagreeable things, but brought into view something rest full, suggestive and always pleasing.
 Another lady, somewhat similary sit uated, had a casing or outside window made from each of the two rooms fac cling out upon blank brick wall. One of these was draped with soft silk, the other held ferns and shady place vines. The light that came directly from bove through the glass roof sutfi ced to bring into the most luxurious growth some pots of smilax that were the marvel of her entire acquaintance, and my lady felt herself amply repaid for whatever trouble and expense had attended her effOrtS-N Y Ledrer
