A WONDERFUL DEVICE.
A San Antonian rs Working on ono
Of the most Rem arkabie In
yentIons of FMS age.


There is an industrious aid arQumen-
tative old gentleman In this city who 10
also of an inventive turn of mind and
who has always engaged In the cOnstrue
ton of what ne calls his ''paytints" al
though none of them have ever been ac-
corded clearance papers by the patent Of
fee. He is as iiliterate as he is pronounced
in all OF his views regarding all of the
arts and sciences. He has constructed q
windmill which will not work because ne
has mot yet perfected ed the ne0,6 bellows
run it with. He has patent
gate which he says will work
all right just as soon "a he hits on the
proper kind of hinges to put on 1t. He
saws that the only difficulty with his
clothes horse is that he has not room
enough in his five acre lot for 1t. He
says that his bee hive which Is closed at
night by the chickens going to roost and
opened In the morning by them coming
of the perch would work all right ii all
the chickens had not been stolen.
He is now working on what he terms
his 'paytent ice chist" which he was
showing to q friend this morning and 10
whom lac said concerning this refrigera-
tor: "Thar's only one poster ABOUT this
chist an that is that it is goin to be too
burned cold"
His friend remarked: "That is a defect
you don't often meet with in refrigerator
and one that is easily remedied."
AS heow?" asked the inventor.
"Why, simply by putting heated fur
mace inside OF it," was The reply.
The old man is now figuring on using
the suggestion so as to have a combina-
ton in a refrigerator and a heating ap-
paratus, with perpetual motion ma
chine for making the fire and ice.

The Panama scheme will Bust.

PARIS, Jan. 1s.-In the course Of the
Panama trial today, the public prosecutor
made an important statement to the eff
feet that the canal was impracticable for
a canal with locks, the expense will be
still 800, OOO, 900 francs more, and IL would
take Is years to complete Ii as l. 400 600, 900
francs have already been spent out Of
a present capital OF 1900, 100000 francs.
But the engineers reports state that the
maximum profit would be 6O,OOO.OO0 francs
per anuum, and that would only be re-
alizable after twelve years. traffic. These
calculations would show barely 2 per cent
upon the capital invested. The concIu
sion drawn by the report is that the canal
is not possible.

THE CUBAN REVOLT.
The Result IL Said to BE Entirely Do
pendent Upon the Crops.

POnuoht OPon tue OIopes
MADRID, May 5.-La Epoca has obtained
the views Of General Martinez Campos,
who has been spoken Of to replace Captain
General Arias in Cuba He greatly eulo-
gized the ability Of Arias, declaring that
he was the best man for the place, as he
knew the country and the people inti-
mately. He himself, he said, was too
aged and infirm to display the necessary
activity, but he would go IL the queen in
sisted. The result of the revolt depended
mainly on the crops. II they were good,
the revolt would fail; IL bad, 1t would sue
csed. He urged the government to make
any sacrifice to nip the revolution In the
bud or it would spread.
Referring to the report that the revolu-
tion had been Matched in the United
States, he secuted the idea of the Ameri-
can government assisting the Cuban ref
ugees He relied, he said, on the good re-
lations between Spain and America, Of
which the visit of Infanta Eulalie and
Don Antonio to Chicago afforded eloquent
proof, and he was convinced that the
American government, instead of fostering
the movement, would do its utmost to
prevent any filibustering expedition being
equipped or started from American ports.
General Campos did not display much
confidence in the colonial army in the
event of rebellion becoming formidable,
rs he declared that before cae troops could
be placed in the field their pay, which Is in
arrears, must be distributed and their
ornaments improved. Other military men
protest against the false policy of starving
the Cuban army in order to reduce the ex-
penditures and declare that the rebellion
will serve as awarning to the government,
who now perhaps will replace the anti
quated rifles In the hands of the colonial
troops by modern weapons.
