PrOnhccics of VAR.

a London special to the salt Lake
Tribune says: The time has come to
describe the prevailing naval panic in
England as a genuine war scare. a
fear amounting to conviction has seized
certain Englishmen, who believe the
coming spring will see Great Britain at
war with one or more of the great pow
ers, and the sources of information and
judgment of some of these persons en-
title their opinions to respect. They in
clude some prominent members of the
Conservative party and editors of GER
tain leading newspapers. Some slight
weakness in c0nsOls last week suggests
that the impression may be spreading
to financial circles.
Whether these sinister forebOdings
are based solely upon facts and reasons
known of all men it is impossible to say.
Some ground for apprehension must ex-
isl sheu the conservatism of the En-
glish journalist is so far overcome as to
lead The management OF at least one of
the great London daily papers to under
take extensive preparations for Euro
pean war in the coming spring. More
than one editorial Office in Fleet street
is getting ready for the campaign. No
editor has yet been foolish enough to
express his fears in print. They con
fine themselves, especially the Tory
journals, to describing in the gloomiest
/ language the dangers which would i'm
PEND if war should lind England unpre-
pared.
The situation in the newspaper world
proves at least the sincerity of the
| alarmist Tory press in promoting a
naval panic, This agitation and prob
ably other cases have already had i'm
portant effect. The government has
denied that few days ago it placed a
large loan for naval construction pur
poses, but it has not denied the report
that orders have been sent to five naval
dockyards for the beginning of work
Immediately on four first class battle
ships and one iirst-class cruiser.

the new allies argue that they might as

1t is further argued that the whole
tendency of the French and Russian
policy of the past six months has been
clearly anti English. Not a day passed
last week without its fresh war rumors.

The supreme court of Missouri re-
Gently rendered Il most important de-
cision in case Involving option deal
ings in grain. There was cross-ap-
peal in two cases, one by the brokerage
firm of Conner u Conner of st. Louis,
to recover commission and $1,000 of
margins from one Black, and the other
by Black to recover 5000 put up with
the firm to hold up a deal of 100000
bushels of oats The court finds that
the dealings were purely fictitious, so
far as an actual delivery of grain was
concerned. and the court holds that such
transactions, under the existing law,
are gambling and consequently void.
The court does not intend to be under
stood rs holding that any peason, com
pany or corporation my not sell any kind
of personal property for future delivery
which may be on hand, but if he does
not intend to deliver it and does not
have it on hand at the time it is to be
delivered for that purpose he is guilty
of m.sdemeanor under the statutes.

The New and the Beautiful.

THAT is the most peculiar and as
founding faculty Of the mind that calls
the new, the beautiful" said Charles
Truax. Now, just think minute.
Look at the change in fashions, and then
you see it perfectly. The hat that yo1,
wore last season-the one with the stiff
rim and soft crown--how nice and nobby
it looked thenl Now, when you tried 1t
on again the other day, accidentally run
ming across it in the locker. why, it
looked hideous, didn't it, It's impossi-
BILE to define why this is so. You can't
say it is because the mind dislilles old
things (sOme minds don't nor that all
minds love the new, the change 1tisnt
exactly because persons dislike to be odd
or out of date, for some take great de
light in looking strange and odd.
"Others do not wear the new things
first simply to be the first. While do
not think this sense comes from or guides
itself by any one of these influences, yet
the sum of them all goes to make up a
circle of harmony inside of which one
would rather dwell than out. There are
a thousand little things that the mind
comprehends almost unconsciously and
acts accordingly. 1t is this reflex action
of brain work that makes it possible for
one to understand why we do these
things st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat

: Paradox Explained.

Why does not man weigh pound
more Immediately after eating pound
weight of food? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery
During the process of mastication, de-
glutition, ETC.. certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else of any muscle necessitates tempo
rary waste of its tissues, and certain
amount Of carbon is eliminated and
passed of during the course of the meal.
This loss however, is trifing as COM
pared with that due to respiration and
perspiration, both of which are increased
during the various operations Of making
2 meal.
The length of time one may take TO
consume pound of food makes but lit
tie difference to those losses, for If it is
eaten leisrlrely there is but slight in
crease of respiration or perspiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both are
abnormaily accelerated Hence by the
time the pound is eaten the consumer
has lost appreciably in moisture and car
bonic acid.-Million.

The Evolution Of Names.

The evolution of names from foreign
tongues into English is in many cases
easy. From the German Bauer to the
English Bowers, and from the French
Boulanger to the English Bullinger Is
but step, as it were. But there are no
people who are oftener more humorously
sccused of altering their names than the

The Expansion of Solid Bodies.

An ingenious instrument for measur-
ing the expansion of minute solid bodies
is found in the list of inventions. The
substance is placed in the field of mi
croscope and an image of it magnified
several times is thrown on a screen.
This image is further magnified by two
micrometer microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substances heated in little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the temperature OF the oven
is arrived at by observations on the
melting of standard substances. BY the
use of this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smallest diamond can be determined IN
til the temperature of combustion is
reached. -Exchange

HE LOVED THE OLD FLAG.
1 Pathetic Story of the Cause
of Captain WiIfse'S Death.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Yester-
day persons who passed by Lafay-
cite square saw a casket, draped
in the American flag, borne by
eight stalwart sailors of the Amer
lean navy. 1t was the body of the
late Captain Wiltse, United States
navy, which has been brought here
for burial. Captain Wiltse re-
Gently died suddenly in New York.
There is a pathetic story connected
with his death. Captain Wiltse
was in command of the United
States steamship Boston at Homo
lulu when the recent revolution
occurred, and, at the request of
United States Minister Stevens,
landed a detachment of marines
and hoisted the Stars and Stripes
over Hawaii. His term of sea ser
vice expired soon after and he re-
turned to this country.
THE taking down of the Amer
lean flag at Honolulu broke Cap
tain Wiltse's heart and brought on
a third attack of apoplexy, caus-
ing his DEATH" said a gentleman
who was one of his most intimate
friends and who was talking with
him a short time before he died.
"What makes you think 500" he
was asked.
~ don't think SO; I know it to
be fact" he answered. "He told
me it was a shock to him and he
could never get over it, and he
never did. He loved that flag.
He had served nearly all his life
under it,"
