General Marsslio Gettiug Rssdy to Pull
vurlxe the Mo0rs.


MADRID, Oct. "a large body Of troops
left the city to-day for Melilla In Morocco.
The guuboat Cuerva has reached Malaga
with dispatches requesting that no further
reinforcements be sent to Melilla for the
present. The Moorish tribes continue to
fire at intervals upon Fort San Miguel.
Yesterday evening the Moors fired into
Melilla. Cuerva was fired upon OF Tres
Porcas. The Runboat promptly returned
the fire and . regular engagement fol-
lowed, during which many tribesmen were
killed and . number wounded. The
Cables, near Melilla. continue to erect de-
fences. They are rsceiving reinforce
ments hourly and increasing In audacity
every moment. In spite Of this General
Mareello 10 certain that with the troops
already at his disposal and on the way to
Melilia he will defeat the Moors.
The hey Of the Mslilla district, Il 10
further learned, visited General Mareslla
to-day and declared that the sultan OF
Morocco would punish the offending
tribes. The hey, previous to his dcpar.
ture. stated that all the chiefs OF the tribes
would assemble at FraJama to-day in
order to decide upon peace or war.
The minister Of war. upon receiving the
communication from General Margslla,
instructed that commander to reject the
overtures OF tho hey and fire upon any
Moors invading Spanish territory. At the
cabinet council to-day II was decided to
send q squadron to Aleeciras near Glib

Assemble Around HIs Grave.
DUBLIN. o.. a-Irishmen from Ill over
the world to-day assembled around the
grave Of Charles Stewart Parnell In Glas-
uevin cemetery. and did honor In rover
ence to the memory OF the great Irish
leader. Il was the second anniversary OF
his death. aud the crowds attending the
days ceremonies showed that Ireland has
not forgotten the services of Parnsll. Tho
procession OF mourners through the
streets Of Dublin far exceeded In number
and In reverence last years procession
upon the Same occasion. Il was headed
by . black-draped wagon, upon which
were piled memorial wreaths sent from
different parts Of the country, as we'll as
several from tho United States, Canada
and from Australia. The officials and
corporations Of the cities OF Dublin and
Cork attended tho ceremonies In state.
The streets along the route to the ceme-
terry were packed with psople and the
neighborhood OF Glasnevin was crowded.
John Parneil, . brother of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell. and Mrs. Dickinson. .
sister, appeared IN Q carriage in the ceme-
terry. The wreaths were placed upon the
grave Of the beloved Irish statesman.
The procession then reformed and re.
turned to the city.
Il was the intention of the committee to
make the demonstration, as far 90 possi-
BILE. indicative Of the strength Of the Par
nellite cause. With this object in view.
fast special excursion trains were run to
Dublin from all parts of Ireland. Many
thousands availed themselves OF these
trains aud the demonstration was much
more successful than last year. One great
departure from the programme OF last
year was the absence of public speaking In
connection with the commemoration. The
procession was headed by contingent Of
the principal Parnellites. All the trades
friendly societies and other bodies in the
city also walked In the procession. The
instruments of the different bands were
tlraped In black and the music was OF a
dirgeful aud funereal character.
New YORK, Oct. s.-The central council
OF the Irish Independent party with
friends and brethrcn gathered tonight in
the Grand opera house hall to celebrate
the memory Of Charles Stewart Parnell.
The hall was decorated with patriotic en-
blens, whilo . picture Of the great Irish
leader was draped with crepe. A glow.

livered by James Clancy. The meeting
was q stirring one, In which Irish traitors

SOME NEEDED CHANGE.

Senator PETER Introduces a Bill to Give
the People Additional Money.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator PEI
fer introduced a bill for the issuance of
$500, 600, 900 in treasury notes, payable
in the lawful money of the United
States.
''The people want money" said the
senator in explanation, and the way to
give it to them is to give it to them
1t is like the way to resume"
Of this amount which it is proposed
to issue $50, 600, 600 will be of the de-
nomination of 81. and the remainder
proportionately in denominations rang
ing to $50. The secretary of the treas
ury is authorized to exchange any of
the notes above SO for United States
bonds. Senator PETER stated that he
would follow this bill with another
which was discussed in the public
prints last session. 1t was known then
as the land loan bill and provided for
the loaning of money direct to the peo-
pie by the government at per cent. a
year on real estate security with gov
eminent agents in each state to pass
upon it.

This is one of the few scientific terms
derived from the Sanskrit.
The ''deathwatch'' is a popular name
applied to certain beetles which bore
into the walls and floors of old houses.
They make a ticking sound by stand
ing on their hind legs and knocking
their heads against the wood quickly
and forcibly. 1t is a sexual call. Many
superstitions have been entertained re-
speeding the noise produced by these
insects, which is sometimes imagined
to be a warning of death.
Entomologists have succeeded in re-
cording the cries of many insects by
the ordinary system of musical nota-
ton. But this method does not show
the actual pitch, which is usually sew
eral octaves above the staff. It mere
~ serves to express the musical inter
walls. It is known with reasonable GER
tainty that many insects have voices
so highly pitched that they cannot be
heard by the human ear. One evidence
of this fact is that some people can dis
tinguish cries of insects which are not
audible to others.

The Vision of Birds.

Birds have very acute vision; per-
haps the most acute of any creature,
and the sense is also more widely diff
fused over the retina than is the case
with man; consequently a bird can see
sideways as well as objects in front of
it. A bird sees showing great I'M
easiness in consequences hawk long
before it is visible to man; so, too,
fowls and pigeons find minute scraps
of food, distinguishing them from
what appear to us exactly similar
pieces of earth or gravel Young chick
ems are also able to find their own food
knowing its position and how distant
it is-as soon as they are Matched,
whereas a child only very gradually
learns either to see or to understand
the distance of objects. Several birds
apparently the young of all those
that nest on the ground-can see quite
well directly they come out of the
shell, but the young of birds that
nest in trees or on rocks are born blind
and have to be fed.-Chambers' Jour

A SURVIVAL OF BARBARIsM.

Loose Ends in the American System of
Criminal Punishment.
Not long ago newspaper readers were
shocked by accounts of the treatment
of a white woman prisoner in one of
the American cities, where the chain
gang system of punishment is still in
use. This woman was ordered to work
in the streets, and upon her obstinate
refusal to submit to what was even to
convict uncomfortable degradation was
literally starved into yielding.
The incident is only a revolving illus
tration of the wrong attaching to the
whole system of punishment by public
exposure to shame. The street chain
gang, and the heartless leasing of con-
victs as practically slaves to mine-own-
ers, ought to be, as they are in most
parts of the country, as antiquated and
impossible as the whipping post and
the stocks.
The governor of Ala bama has lately
pardoned thirty convicts who had be-
come helpless from rheumatism in
Cured while working in certain iron
mines where two thousand prisoners
worked under contract
In some of these mines the gas is
poisonous: peculiar and dreadful dis
ease of the lungs is fearfully prevalent
among the miners, and threefourths of
those attacked die.
Measures have been taken to improve
the condition of these wretched con-
victs, but their fate is still cruel one.
Modern ideas tend more and more to
make legal restraint means of reform,
not of torture, or primarily of degrade
ton; to make the prisoner better if
possible, at least to place him under
healthful physical and moral condi-
tons; to safeguard the community.

process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period during which the raising process
goes on, the gain in food and the gain
in the avoidance of the germs is ex-
ceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the dan
gers which attend the use of yeast it is
certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. By this 1 mean
that every particle of gluten produces
its little bubble of gas and that there
fore the bread is properly raised that
is, it is raised everywhere. 1t is APP
parent that if we are to substitute any
other system of bread making we must
have one which will give US. first, me-
chanical results equally as good, that
is, that will produce minute bubbles of
carbonic acid gas throughout the mass
of dough. Now it is in no way diff
cult to produce carbonic acid gas chem
ically, but when we are working at
bread we must use such chemicals as
are perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to find.
The evils which attend the yeast
made bread are obviated by the use of
a properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed of an acid

stirred around in it. The mixture is
then sifted several times and this in
sures that in every part OF the Hour
there shall be few particles OF the
powder. The salt and milk or water
being added, the dough is made up as
quickly as possible and moulded into
the loaves.
These are placed in the oven and
baked. But the very moment the
warmth and moisture attack the mix
ture of cream of tartar and soda, these
two ingredients chemically combine
and carbonic acid or leavening gas is
evolved. The consequence may be
seen at a glance, the bread is raised
during the time it is baking IN the
oven, and this is the most perfect of
all conceivable methods of raising it.
Here, then. there is no chance for
germs of disease to get into the dough
and thence into the stomach, more
than that the bread is necessarily as
sweet as possible, there having been
no time during which it could sour.
This involves the fact that the bread
SO made will keep longer, as it is less
likely to be contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.
It will be strange if the crowds of
visitors to the worlds fair do not great
ly increase the number of contagious
disease, which we will have to treat.
Under these circumstances is it not
folly of follies to open a single chan
mel through which these germs may
reach us? Is it not the part of wisdom
to watch with the greatest care all
that we eat and drink, and to see that
none but the safest and best methods
are employed in the preparation of our
food? To me it seems as though there
could be but one answer to questions
like these.

the yeast raised bread, and with this I
have shown how that danger may be
avoided. The ounce of prevention
which in this case is neither diff
fcult nor expensive is certain
ly worth many pounds of cure,
and the best thing about it is
that it may be relied on almost abso-
lutely. Those who during the coming
summer eat bread or biscuits or rolls
made at home with Royal baking
powder may be sure they have abso-
lutely stopped one channel through
which disease may reach them.

HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC.
Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.


Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music
of the katydid. Here, again, says the
Washington Star, it is the male that
has the voice. At the base of each
wing cover is thin membraneous
plate. He elevates the wing covers
and rubs the two plates together. IF
you could rub your shoulder blades to-
gether you could initiate the operation
very nicely.
Certain grasshoppers make sound
when flying that is like a watchman's
e-claclkety-clack, very rapidly re-
peated. There are also some moths
deaths head" moth makes a noise
when frightened that strikingly re-
sembles the crying of young baby.
How it is produced is not known,
though volumes have been written on
the subject. The mourning cloak
butterfly dark species with light
border in it's wings-makes a cry Of
alarm by rubbing it's wings together.
The katydids, crickets, grasshoppers
and other musical insects are all ex-
aggerated in the tropics, assuming
giant forms. Thus their cries are pro-
portionately louder. There is an East
Indian cicada which makes a remark
ably loud noise. It is called by the
natives ''dundub," which means drum.
From this name comes that of the
genus, which is known as dundubia.
