The article caused great excitement in
Constantiuople where the Servian press
is charged with fomenting anti-Austrian
agitation. In Bosnia and Hergozovina
it is declared that the action of the Ser
Wan press demands serious attention.
Such sharp warning as that addressed

IN OLD OCEANS DEPTHS.
Living Lanterns That Arc Borne About Z
Light Up the Darkness.

Living Lanterns That AFRO Borne About "a
Light Up the Darkness.
Away down in the dark depths of the
ocean there are living lanterns that are
borne about to light up the darkness. A
queer fish called the midshipmite carries
the brightest and most striking of all
these sea torches.
Along its back, under it and at the
base of its fins there arc small disks that
glow with clear phosphorescent light
like rows of shining buttons on the
young middy's uniform---in this way it
gets its name, midshipmite, by which
young sailors in the navy are often called.
These disks are exactly like small
bullseye lanterns with regular lenses
and rehectors.
The lenses gather the rays. and the re-
Electors throw them out again. There
is layer Of phosphorescent cells between
the two, and the entire effect is as per-
feet as If made by some slzillful optician.
Many other fish have ''rehectors,
many have 'lenses," but the 'smidship-
mite" is the only kind that has such
splendid specimens of both.
The fish is so constructed that when it
is frightened by some devouring sea
monster it can close its lenses and hide
itself in the darkness. 1t can turn it's
lantern off and on at will, and then it is
always ''illed" and ready when wanted.
Another marine animal has luminous
bulb that hangs from its chin, and thus
throws the light before it to warn it of
the approach of enemies. Still another
upholds big light from the extremity
of the dorsal fin. Others, again, have
constant supplies of luminous oil that
runs down their sides from the fins, max
ing a bright and constant light all
around them.
Most of the jellyfish are phosphor-
escent These live far down on the very
floor of the ocean, where it is always
dark and gloomy. The dwellers in these
watery depths are provided with lights
of their own shining bodies and fins,
which illumine their home with a
strange though no doubt cheerful glare.

America from Siberia. The patriotic
priest" as he is known to the exiles,
has received word from Russia of a
ukaso Issued by the Cznr for the expul-
sion of all the wealthy Russian Jews in
Siberia. The priest says $4,000 of
the 100000 Jews in Siberia are
affected. and that large proportion of
the $4,000 will come to California. The
ukase applies only to prosperous fami-
lies. Many are wealthy, and several
who will come to America are million
aires. One Jewish merchant, now in
Irkutsk, is worth $50.000,000. The priest
says most of the Jews will go into busi-
ness here. The Russians jealousy of the
Jews is given as the cause of the expul-
sion.

No Money in Sight for Completing
Those Begun.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Secretary Car
Isle sent to the house today, in response
to resolution, statement showing
that there are in course of construction,
or authorized, 12O public buildings in
various parts of the country. with q
total limit Of cost OF $50. .205, 731. 19.
The total amount already appropriated
is $2S, ,607, ,232.77, leaving yet to be ap-
propriated 1898. 1882. The total bal
ance of the appropriations available is
$S79S.51. The object of this informa-
tlon Is understood to present reasons
why no more public buildings should be
ordered by congress until the force in
the supervising architects office is in
creased 80 that the buildings already
provided for may be begun. No build
ings have been authorized since the
Fifty-frst congress, yet there are 40
upon which no actual work has been
done and % which have not received
any attention as to the preparation of
of plans.
