We have heard Of whitewash as germ
killer, and now comes its very opposite,
soot-pIain, everyday, black, nasty, chin
ney soot-as a candidate for distinctive
honors. The Washington Star tells Of q
man who tried it and declares it to be among
the best Of germ killers. He describes SCOT
as pure carbon, formed by the hot yapor Of
the hydrocarbons emanating from burning
fuel striking the comparatively cold walls
Of the chimney or stove pipe and condens-
ing thereon. Like charcoal it possesses the
property Of absorbing and retaining gases
of all sorts, and that affinity is what makes
it good disinfectant; better, It is claimed.
than charcoal, because it contains unoxy-
died hydrocarbons not found in the latter.
A sprinkling Of SCOT in places that are below
the common hygienic standard is inexpen-

4 Snake Fight

A remarkable occurrence took place late
ly in the geological gardens at Breslau. In
the cage of the large snakes South Amer
lean boa constructor conlended for rabbit
with very large python from West Africa.
1t did not succeed, however, the python
being the stronger of the two, and it with
drew. About two hours later the keeper
found the same snakes fighting for another
rabbit. As the keeper supposed the boa,
which was the weaker Of the two, would
again give up its prey, he left them to
themselves aud went home.
The next morning he was horror-stricken
to find that the unfortunate boa bad not let
go its hold, and had been swallowed by the
python as a pendant to the rabbit. The
boa was nearly seven feet long and cores
pondingly thick. The python had already
swallowed one rabbit before the one which
proved fatal to the boa. It's circumference
Throughout its length was from twenty-three
to twenty eight inches, aud its skin was
expanded to double its usual size. The
supposilion that the snake might perhaps
not be able to digest the boa proved false.
Digestion only proceeded somewhat more
slowly than usual-PdH Mall Budget.

The cate Department fully believes
that the Queen has by this time been

iieye that force was not necessary. The
statement was made that IL
Mr.. Dole refused to accede to
the demands Of Minister

Queen restored, even il the sdministra-
tiOn would have 70 go TO Congress Tor
authority. At the same time 1t was
claimed that there would be no neces-
sity for any such action, as the lnfor-
nation frOm the islands was TO the
effect that everything was working
precisely as expected. At the State
Department to-day il was stated that
whether Mr.. ThurStOn has been able 20
communicate with the provisional gov
ernmeut or not, or whether that gov
ernment offered any resistance, the
restoration would go on just the same.
It was claimed that reports received
since Minister Willis arrived at Homo
lulu were that the provisional goYA rn-
ment was sustained on the suDpOsfHon
that the United States man-of-war was
in the harbOr for that purpose and that
as soon aS il was known that the United
States would not sustain the DroVis-
ional government, bu. was determined
20 undo what has been done by the rev.
OlutiOnists, that the public would i'm
mediately compel the restoration of the
Queen aud the provisional government
would fall. The Alameda is expected
20 arrive tomorrow morning. AT the
Department there is not much eXpecta-

such a thing is possible. IL Is the gen
eral impression that nothing tranSpired
between the time when the Australia
sailed and the departure Of the Ala
media.
Isis said that Minister Willis report
ed that he was confident that there
would be no interruption to carrying
out his Instructions, aud all the prelim-
inarles have been successfully attended
to. Tt is asserted that the progress re-
ported by Minister Willis was so salts
