and corrupt poverty stricken strata
at the bottom gradually but surely
rot out the middle class in which all
the strength of the nation exists; I;

meet and that nation is buried
beneath its own rottenDess. The
elements for such result are rapidly

RousED THE CAPITOL ECHOES.
An Unknown Vocalist Who Sang a Ballad
in the ROtunda.

IN the hOtunda.
1t happened during the long vaca-
ton, before congress convened, that an
unknown lady strolled into the ro-
tunda of the capitol. There was no.
body about but the guide and few
tourists, and couple Of friends who
were with the unknown suggested to
her that she try the acoustics of the
hall. At first she demurred, says the
Washington Post, but the idea seemed
to fascinate her. AS she stood silent
for moment, as if waiting for her ac-
compartment, something in her easy
pose suggested familiarity with the
footlights. Then she lifted up her
voice and sang-easily and unaffected
ly as bird-and such singing! 1t was
only simple old ballad, but the voice
was pure and clear, the phrasing fine
and execution excellent. But this was
not all. The echoes of the great dome
awoke and joined in the song until it
seemed magnified and expanded into a
whole great chorus. The guards and
guides crowded in to hear this i'm
promptu concert, and even the anx-
ious sightseers, who had allotted fif
teen minutes to 'do the capitol"
paused to listen. 1t was grand, it was
inspiring, and the singer seemed to
enjoy this realization of her art, which
she could never attain in an ordinary
hall. When she paused round of ap-
plause awol1e other echoes, until it
sounded like the tribute of great au-
dience, and then the singer. realizing
her situation, departed. Who she was
no one at the capitol knows, but re-
mark, as she thanked the doorkeeper,
saying that she had sung in many
halls, but none like this, gave rise to
the surmise that she was not unknown
to fame

LIVING OCEAN LANTERNS.
How the Deep Sea Is Lighted by 1t
Finny Inhabitants.

Finny Inhabitants.
Away down in the dark depths of
the ocean there are living lanterns that
are borne about to light up the dark
ness. A queer fish, called the mid
shipmite," carries the brightest and
most striking of all these sea torches.
Along its back, under it, and at the
base of it's fins there are small disks that
glow with phosphoresc ent light like
rows of shining buttons on the young
middy's uniform. In this way it gets
it's name ''midshipmite," by which
young sailors in the navy are often
called.
These disks, says the New York
Press, are exactly like small bull's-eye
lanterns, with regular lenses and reflec-
tors. The lenses gather the rays and
the ref1ectors throw them out again.
There is layer of phosphorescent cells
between the two, and the entire effect
is as perfect as if made by some skill
full optician.
The fish is so constructed that when
it is frightened by some devouring sea
monster it can close it's lenses and hide
itself in the darkness. 1t can turn its
lantern off and on at will, and then it
is always filled" and ready when
wanted.
Another marine animal has a lumin-
GUS bulb that hangs from it's 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
dn. Others again have constant sup
plies of luminous oil that runs down
their sides from the fins, making a
bright and constant light all around.

A COURTEOUS EMPEROR.
How Francis Joseph Helped Hunt for tn
Dog of an American Woman

Dog of an American Woman.
Our Vienna correspondent, says the
London News, learns from lschl of the
following incident, which is reported
to have happened few days be-
fore Emperor Joseph left that lovely
mountain city for the maneuvers in
Galicia. Two American ladies in Ischl
have ma id with them who is quad
room, speaking very imperfect Ger
man, and whose duty it is to lead a
beautiful little dachsund by chain.
VIII en- the ladies were out walking one
morning the dog tore himself away
and disappeared into thicket. The
girl guessed that the dog had entered
private grounds, but jumped over the
hedge and followed him. Suddenly an
elderly officer stood before her and
asked her what she was looking for.
She told him and he said: ''We must
call him; that will bring him back fast
er than running after him. What is
his name?" "Wallmann," was the re-
ply. The officer took silver whistle
called and whistled for the dog, who
did not respond, though he was heard
barking hoarsely in the distance.
Then forest guard came, and the Of
fcer told him to find the dog, and ask
ing the quadroon where the ladies
lived told the man to take it to the ho-
tel she named. He then bowed polite
ly and went his way. The quadroon
asked the forest guard who the gen.
tleman was. When he told her ''that
was our emperor" she left him to
look for the dog by himself and ran
back to tell the ladies. In the even
ing an imperial servant appeared at
the hotel to ask whether the dog had

lNDIA'S MILLIONS.
Some Idea of the Magnitude of the Task
England Has to Perform.

Some Idea of the Magnitude of the Task
England Has to Perform.
One of the great wonders of the mod
ern world is the supremacy which Great
Britain has acquired over the people
of India, who are second in numbers
only to the population of China, and
far outnumber any other nation in the
world. Not only are they held in SUBJ
lection by comparative handful of
British troops, but they contribute a
native army for the maintenance of
British power in India. This wonder
full state of things is due, not merely
to British military courage and skill,
but largely also to the wisdom and
executive ability of the officials charged
with the administration of civil affairs
in the country. Rome in her best days
never showed more audacity and skill.
English methods in law and govern
ment have won the confidence of the
people to a remarkable degree. Some
idea of the magnitude of the task
which England has in the management
of her magnificent possession may be
obtained from the figures given by the
census taken in 1891, which presents
some very interesting and significant
facts.
1t appears from this enumeration
that Britain's Indian empire comprises
10000 square miles, and in 1891 had
a population of 2s7, 100000. The males
exceed the females by 5000. In ten
years the inhabitants increased "a ,OOO,-
000 Contrary to the condition of
things among the western nations the
town population is only 91S per cent.
of the whole. The ancient Brahmanic
religious belief still counts 211, 900, 900
adherents. The Buddhists number
100000 The followers of Moham-
med count up 57,OOO,00O. The ancient
pagan or native worshipers number
100000 and there are 10000 who fol-
low the faith of Zoroaster. The Chris
tians number 2,250,000. The people of
India are not long-lived. Of this i'm
mense multitude only $4,000, 900 reach
the age of 60. The illiterate comprise
274,0O0,0O0 of the population.
One cause of the success of the Brit
ish in governing India is found in the
fact that 11s different languages or di-
alects are spoken, though some of
them are doubtless very similar. The
differences of race, religion and
language render combination against
the English rulers almost impractic-
able, in view of their judicious policy.
The British management of the coun-
try, in construction of railroads and a
system of irrigation by means of
which famines are averted or amelior-
ated, the suppression of widow burning,
infanticide and the protection of
human life, especially of female and
child life, has stimulated the increase
of population to such degree-more
than 100000 annually, that the lin
its of production of food are nearly
reached. In view of this last fact it is
only question of short time when
the surplus population of India will
join the Chinese hordes in seeking new
homes in other lands, and fresh
source of embarrassment will confront
the rulers of more civilized nations,
since the newcomers are sure to be an
tagonized by the laboring classes.
