Some curious facts concerning super

Gently been made public In the annual
report Of the Bombay Anthropologicai
society. From the paper mentioned. the
following oddities have been CLEANED.
Shouting the name Of the king Of birds

RAM RANT drives away ghosts. Cholera
that attacks on Monday or Saturday al
ways proves fatal: cholera that attacks
on Thursday never ends fatally. the

Of the congress is to be chosen by uni
versal suffrage. The judicial power will
be created about as we have st in our
own country.
OF course when the delegates get to-
gether this winter, there may be various
changes before the constitution as revls-
ed. goes to the legislative bodies OF the
respective republics for ratification. IL
Will have to run the gauntlet OF oppo-
sition, and when II has at last become
the organic law, elections must be held
under It.
Meanwhile preparations for the assemb-
ling Of the delegates are actively max
ing. signor J. Leiba, who is the most
influential Costa Rican that ever rep
resented his country In Salvador, has
already formally extended an invitation

their schemes will be by uncompromis-
inely opposing confederation. But his
own power is now trembling in the balance,
and such Guatemalan leaders as Pres
ident sal..zar Of the Supreme Court, and
General Mendizabal have come out in
direct antagonism TO the president. Guat-
eTnala is the most important Of the
couns ries involved and whatever she
does can scarcely fail to decide the fate
of the federation scheme. For about
twenty-six years this nation formed part
Of what was known as the Confederation
of Central America. and the prosperity
of every country which was included III
that union has declined since its dissoiu-
ton. Revolutions come regularly. Com
merce and trade no longer flourish.
But something of a diplomatic tangle
has resulted, owing TO the proceedings
Of Audley G. Gosling This person was
made minister and consul general Of
Great Britain to the several republics
Of Central America, in 1890. Upon ar
irving at his post, he was unfortunate
enough TO get into a difference with the
authorities over a matter Of customs, al
legged to have been irreguarly charged
upon British vessels. He came out VIC
tor. but whether his conduct was such
as to progresses all the republics against
him. or whether he proved personally OBJ
iectionable seems uncertain. AT all
events ne has been concerned in squab-
bles Of a diplomatic nature in every
Central American capital. But whenever
a contention begins TO arrive at cri-
sis, some revolution or other comes along
and the difficulty is not afterwards re-
Yived Now the Central American par
ties accuse Gosling's agents of intrigu-

republic, In fact, is gigantic farce-and
a farce, too, which may well make all en-
thusiastic advocates Of the colored race
and its possibilities pause and consider.
For no nation has ever considered Itself
more utterly incapable Of self-gOverDment
than the black republic. In some eighty

At the time Or. Roberto Sacaza under

TO the scheme OF consolidation of Cen
trail American States. When his author

comes word that the new congress OF
Nicaragua is pledged to ratify the Con-
