BERING SEA- CASE.
Counsel Phelps Continues His Argument
for the United States,

Counsel Phelps Continues His Argument
for the United States,
PARIS, July 5.-The Hon. E. ], Phelps
to-day continued his closing address in
behalf Of the United States before the
Bering sea tribunal Of arbitration. He
argued that nations were entitled to
employ force on the seas, even in time
OF peace, ii 1t was necessary TO protect
their interests. Pelagic sealing, he
said, had almost exterminated tho ami
mails on which the sealing industry
OF the United States depended.
There was no international law
that debarred the United States from
making the seizures necessary TO pro-
tect the sealing industry. The right Of
protection extended to the open sea
and even to the territory Of friendly
nation under certain circumstances.
AS an instance in support OF his con-
tention on this point, Mr.. Phelps mem
toned the seizure by the British in
American waters Of vessel that was
preparing to take part in the Canadian
rebellion.
In the course OF his remarks Mr..
Phelps declared that the value of the
sealing industry was the chief consider
alton in the purchase Of Alaska by the
United States. The country has little
other present or prospective value. The
pelagic sealers included many Ameri.
cans who were getting their vessels
registered as British or Canadian seal.
ers. A-limited number OF these sealers
consisted OF persons Of other vocations
who entered the sealing business as q
speculation. Many persons in London
were employed in the trade OF dressing
sealskins, aud Great Britain should,
therefore, endeav or to preserve the seal
herds in order that these people might
have employment.

Pm1ADEhpnrA, Pa, July 53-Probably
the severest hail storm thatlhas visited
this section in years passed over the
northern part Of Philadelphia between
six and seven o'clock this evening.
The rain which accompanied was very
heavy, flooding streets and cellars.
Hail stones nearly an inch In diameter
fell for fully fifteen minutes, breaking
thousands Of panes Of window glass and
cutting trees and shrubbery to pieces.
A gale blew during the prevalence Of
the storm and much damage was done
to trees and insecure buildings and
fences. Reports from points in the
eastern portion OF the state indicate
that the storm was very heavy and did
much damage.
There was some anxiety about the
Delaware peach crop, but dispatches to
the Associated Press say the storm did
not extend 10 that state.

READING, Pa, July 5.-This city was
visited by a ahaIlstorm this afternoon,
which for destrnctiyeness eclipsed all
previous storms OF the kind since 1885.
The storm originated about three miles
west OF Reading and covered a width Of
about four miles, Shortly before 8
o'clock black cloud appeared in the
western horizon and moved eastward
rapidly, Twenty minutes later the
streets Of the city we're covered with
hail and water and the sewers became
Choked, being entirely too small to
carry of even one-tenth OF the water.
Grain, corn, oats, flower gardeni grapea.
and other fruits were stripped off like
leaves.
The vineyards OF Mount Pennare are
completely ruined and the owners don't
expect To obtain more than per cent
OF the crop. Many OF those vineyards
covered acres and there Is nothing left
but the vines. South Of Reading,
especially along the schuykill valley,
the destruction to crops was very great.
The wheat, rye and oat crops not yet
cut have been leveled to the ground
and many OF the fields were flooded. AT
Blrdboro hail fell to the depth OF three
inches and in some places WAS piled up
to o depth Of nearly foot,
The stones were the size of hickory
nuts and fell 60 rapidly that pedestrlans
in this city were driven from the side
walks. Street car horses became un-
manageable from the pelting hail and
the drivers were compelled to stop the
cara and to Geek shelter because OF the
hail striking them on the hands.
In the southern part OF the city many
cellars we're flooded. The downpour
was terrible and nothing Of the kind
has ever been experienced in the recol-
lection Of the Oldest inhabitants. 1t is
believed that the damage in the schuy-
kill valley will reach many thousands Of
dollars. The glass Of the hot houses in
this city and in the track Of the storm
we're shattered and thousands Of young

How the Patent Office Was Saved.

When, in the War of 1S12-the office
having been removed to a building OF
its own two years before-the British,
who had taken the city, trained their
guns upon the Patent Office, DIR.
Thornton, throwing himself directly
before the guns, cried:
"Are you Englishmen or Goths and
Vandals? This is the. Patent Office
depository of the ingenuity and in
ventions of the American Mutton, in
which the whole civilized world is in
terested. Would you destroy it!
Then let the charge pass through my
body"
And the building was spared.
Twenty -four years afterward, however,
it was destroyed by fire, together with
everything in it. And with this came
the beginning of the present building,
added to from time to time, till at last
the noble pile stands complete as it il
to-day, holding model or drawing
of every invention known in the whole
world, and having paid something
more than two millions of dollars over
and above its own expenses, n sum
which represents only trife of the
great amount it has added to the
wealth of the Nation. -Harper's s Young

A New Bee Sting Theory.

1t is fact not generally known,
says a correspondent of Science, tina.
if one holds his breath, wasps, bee.
and hornets can be handled with i'm.
punity. The skin becomes sting proof,
and holding the insect by the feet and
giving her full liberty of action, yon
can see her drive her weapon against
the impenetrable surface with force
which lifts her body at every stroke.
but let the smallest quantity of air es
cape from the lungs and the sting will
penetrate at once. l have never seen
an exception to this in twenty-five
years observation. I have taught
young ladies with very delicate hands
to astonish their friends by the per-
formance of this feat, and saw one SO
severely stung as to require the SER
vices of physician through laughing
at a witty remark of her sister, forget
ting that laughing required breath.
For theory in explanation, am led
20 believe that holding the breath
partially closes the pores of the skin.
My experiments in that direction have
not been exact enough to be of any
scientific value, but am satisfied that
livery sensibly affects the amount of in
sensible perspiration.

Says the New York Post: We hear
more and more every year about the
growing difficulty of obtaining work in
this country MS it becomes more thickly
settled. Yet there is one important
department in which the supply of Ia
Dor falls constantly further short of
the demand. This is domestic service.
The complaints are universal, and they
become all the while more vehement.
The Watertown Conn correspondent
of the Waterbury American writes
There is great demand for good and
honest servant girls in our town. Ser
want girls, as n general rule, do not
like to come into the country towns,
as there is little society and but few
Hmusements- as entertainments.
theatres, etc. for them here. No
matter how good the pay and the treat
ment is here, they had rather be in a
city where they will get less pay and
have to work harder than to 70 into n
country town. 1t is almost impossible
# any one is in need of woman help to
ind any one who is willing to work fol
any price, a few good women who
understand house cleaning, washing,
and that sort of work could find work
lerc the year around at good wages. >
There is nothing exceptional in the
condition of Watertown, adds the Post.
Hundreds of country towns nre ns
badly off. Moreover, til, difficulty of
obtaining good service in the city in
rreases all the time. Meanwhile we
are constantly importuned to bewail
the condition of women who are work
ing for starvation wages" i'll other
employments, but who would rather
keep on than earn good pay as )aur-
dresses or cooks. 1t is one of the most
extraordinary phenomena Of modern
