Everybody likes soft water. but many
haIl-Sclentlnc people nave Il kind of idea

NJ. Fox, who is entitled to hearing from
the tact OF his having given valuable in
formation on the subject before a royal
commission, holds contrary view. He
maintains that the principal use of water
i'll the human body is for solvent Dur-
poses. In that case it is manifest that
water which has seventy or eighty or
even 100 grains OF solid matter per gallon
dissolved in it must be less powerfully
solvent than water which has not more
than five or ten grains. The water thar
is used up i'll dlsSOlving lime cannot dis
solve other soluble matter-at any rate
not to the full extent of the natural soly-
ent power of unauthorized water. II il
sometimes argued, as already noted. that
water having lime dissolved il it NAV.
when drank, give up its lime to the BODY.
and so help IN the formation ofthe bones.
On this point Sir Lyon Playtair SAYS:
Il have seen evidence given in cases of
water supply, not only that it was desir-
able for health. but that it (csrbonate of
'lime) was absolutely necessary for the
formation of bones. But that showed a
lamentable lack of chemical KNOWLEDGE.
because the lime required in food does
not come from the water, but from the
solid particles Of food taken, and do not
think that the lime in water has any in
huence on the process OF animal nutri-
ton" The water consumed in The
mountainous districts of Scotland is sott
water, and Highlanders are not generally
supposed to be deficient i'll bone or
muscle. 1t is also stated that the taliest
people in Great Britain are to be met
with IN soft water districts. for instance
in Cumb erland and Aberdeen. The tallest
people OF all are found in Aberdeen,
water is, in short, pure water. so far rs
lime is concerned; and both in sickness
and IN health, and, indeed, for all ordi
nary purposes for which water is re-
quired, it is much to be preferred to hard.

that Captain Guthrie left Fort Reno for

LONDON, April 1l.-Henry NJ. Stanley
has written to the Peace Association a
letter in which he attributes the increase
OF trade in 1892 at African ports under
German administration to a growing
practice, among the German merchants,
of importing into Africa small arms and
ammunition. These, he says, are sold to
the slave-traders, and do inestimable
damage. Stanley iuculpates, also, the

Unless this step is taken, he adds. all

CHINESE REGISTRATION ACT.
An Early Decioion TO be Had In the
Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April I1.-An adjourned
session of the Supreme Court is to be
held some time in May, to pass upon the
constitutionality of the Geary law. The
court would probably have adjourned in
the latter part of this month, but the
Chinese Government has been anxious to
have the point settled once and for all
time, without needless delay. The plan,
however, is not to keep the court in ses-
sion any longer than need be. The law
goes into operation on the 9TH of May.
An arrest will be made in New York at
once, and habeas corpus proceedings will
be begun, with view to having hear
ing in New York. The case will be de-
cided promptly and carried up to the
Supreme Court, which, it is hoped, Will
give it precedence over everything on
account of its international Importance.
At the Chinese Legation great interest
is expressed i'll the courts action, which
may mean difference of hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the Chinese resi-
dents in this country, who, il they cam
not have hearing now, will be obliged
to bear the expense of a long and bitter
fight as the alternative of immediate sub
mission to the statute.
sYN1PATHIzERs IN BOSTON.
Boston, April ia meeting of Chi
nese sympathizers was held in Berk eley
Temple yesterday afternoon, the promi-
nent persons present being Rev. Rufus
b. Tobey, William Lloyd Garrison, Miss
Carter, for years the most active person
in Boston in missionary service among
the Chinese, and some leading China
men. 1t was decided that none of the
Chinese here shall attempt to comply
with the Geary law, for not one in twenty
could produce the necessary white Wit
ness, so they Will all stand together. This
is the advice of their friends. There are
about 200 Chinese in Boston, and within
ten miles of the city many have joined
the Chinese Defense League. The plan
now is TO have Chinaman arrested in
New York as soon as the law goes into
effect, to have Judge decide against
him and then to appeal the case al once to
the Supreme Court and have final de-
cision as soon as possible. The state
ment is made here that Secretaries Car
Isle and Gresham are opposed TO the law.

But Hobbs Got OF With the Usual Is
On n street near the government printing
Office Mrs. Kern keeps a boarding house and
among her boarders is plasterer named
William Hobbs. Mrs. Kern's dining
table did not prove the only at
traction for the boarder yesterday for
he visited one or more of the numerous saloons
in that neighborhood until his reason was de-
throned and he used language more extrava-
giant tnan there was meaning 10 it. Miss Susie
Kern, daughter Of the landlady. was
the person to whom he directed his
threatening language and when Police
man Kopp came along he arrested Hobbs
for being drunk and disorderly. Some
mention had been made of a pistol and
razor, SO it was stated. and although Policeman
Kopp says that Hobbs had pistol none of the
other witnesses saw such weapon nor did the
officer recover one
Hobbs. however. had enough liquor in him
to make him feel like a prgilist, but instead Of
appearing on the stage and facing a man with
record he faced the policeman, and
would probably have made a record
for himself had not assistance reached
the officer and the fighter been hurried of to
the station. In the ARRAY both the officer and
the case was heard in Judge Mil
ler's court this morning Miss Kern
told Judge Miller that Mr.. Hobbs was hard
working man. and she had no reason to believe
that he intended to injure her. He was drunk
yesterday, and that was the cause Of the
trouble
Mr.. Hobbs paid $5 fine and was released.
