What is the influence excrted on lie
b. an extraordinarily low temperature
This is the remarkably interesting
question that has recently been de-
termined by a famous scientist in
France. Raoul Pictet. His first expef'
iments, which made him more or less
celebrated, were in liquefying per-
manept gases. such as hydrogen. oxf.
pen and nitrogen. which he did by pro-
ducing temperature from 100 to 2oo
degrees below zero.
In choosing his specimens of life for
testing the effects of excessive cold the
professor chose birds, mammals. ba-
trachians, ophidians, insects, infusoria
and microbes. He studied these first
in the normal functions, their nour-
ishment. respiration and muscular ae-
ton, and then he plunged these speci-
mems into an air bath which was sur

Impaired temperature to the air In
which the dog rested of II degrees be-
low zero The first indication the
animal gave of any discomfort was an
increased rapidity of respiration, and
the temperature was gradually de-
creased for twenty-five minutes, when
the dog seemed 20 have become ac-
customed to the conditions, and ate
with avidity piece OF bread that had
been put in with him. 1t was noticed
that he refused to eat this same bread
before being placed in the bath.
After an hour and ten minutes the
circulation of the animals blood, and
consequently the pulsation Of the
heart, became very rapid. The
temperature was now rapidly reduced
without apparently any special dis
comfort and without any particular
change, excepting that the legs be-
came frozen, but appeared to give no
discomfort. At the instant the tenn
perature reached 9s the dog died as
though he had been shot-instantane-
ously.
The deduction from this experiment
would seem to be that animal life can
stand much more intense degree OF
cold than has been generally believed
heretofore.
The experiments made with fish
were productive of most surprising re-
suits, both in the variation of severity
in temperature which the different

race ut an earlier date.
The Vigilant, Valkyne, Britannia and
Satanic have been entered for the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club regatta, which will
be sailed on Belfast Tough, July 10Th
and 18th. The schooner yacht Lasca,
owned by Mr.. John L. Brooks of New

race in this regatta.

The match race between the Britannia
and the Vigilant, which has been ar.
ranged to take place at Cowes during
the race week at Goodwood, in the
early part of August, will be sailed over

In regard to the complaints made by
American newspapers at the alleged re-
fusal of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club
to allow the Vigilant to sail for the gold
cup, the Field to-day points out that
neither a challenge nor an intimation
from Messrs. George or Howard Gould
has been received by that club, so it is
not likely that the Nigilant's entry has
been rejected.

RED HOT CAMPAIGNING.


Lively Exchange of Personalities Between

South Carolina Statesmnnship.
CHARLESTON, S. O., June 21.-The
campaign meeting at Lancaster to-day
was not as lively as has been
expected, in view of yesterdays occur
renee at Chester. The guberuatorial
and Congressional candidates had the
opening, and were followed by Senator
Butler and Governor rillman, rivals for
Senatorial honors.
Butler spoke, defending his course in
the Senate, and expressing regret that
he had been compelled TO reply to
Governor Tillman's charges in the spirit
he had employed at Chester. He said
that he would discuss and dissect TIL.
mans public record, when and where
and how he pleased. He denied the
charge that had been circulated In
Lancaster county that lie was an iniidel.
When Governor Tillman was called
he was received with much cheering.
He said that at Chester he had not
opened his mouth in reply to the indig-
mites heapod upon him by General
Butler, which were fouler and blacker
than had been made against any man.
A man in the crowd cried out; YOU

Governor Tiilman shouted back, in
reply: eyes! tell you, you cowardly
hound, why l took them--and I'll meet
you whenever you want to. took
them because |, as governor of the
State, could not afford to create row
at public gathering and have our
people murder each other like dogs"
The men around the stand were all in
commotion and yelling for Tillman, and
the women in the audience began to run
away. Tillman, Butler, the chairman
and others called to the ladies to come
back, as the trouble was over, and they
did so. Governor Tillman waved his
hand to the crowd to sit down and then
cried out: "a few puppies around here
can have their tails and necks cut off, If
they want to, or BOTH"
Continuing, he said: General Butler
pretends that had made an imputalion
on his character. The insult was that at

rah for him, and | asked if they had

HIS ARM TORN FROM ITS SOCKET
BY the Current That Washed

Results of the Expedition That Went In
Search of Colgate-His Body Was Not
Found, But Indications That He Died
Horrible Death We're Discovered.

MIssoULA, MoNT., June 22.-The
expedition which left Missoula May
2ist, in search of the body of George
Colgate, the cook to the Carlin party,
who was abandoned by that party last
fall in the Big Clearwater country, one
of the widest forests in the Northwest,
has just returned. The body of Colgate
was not found, but sufficient evidence
was discovered to justify the conclusion
that he died II horrible death.
On the limb of tree which projected
into the eddy of the Middle Fork of
Clearwater river was found one sleeve
caught under huge boulder The in
dications were that the body was
washed down stream about half mile
from where the unfortunate man was
abandoned by the Carlin party, and
caught in the eddy. A sleeve caught in
limb of a tree and the current being
intensely rapid, the arm was torn from
the body aad remained there.
The blankets left for the unfortunate
man by Carlin were found and in
dicated that Colgate must have died u
raving maniac, as the blankets had been
strapped to his back by the Carlin party,
and when this expedition found them
they were just beyond high water mark.
The statements furnished by Ben
Kelley, member of the Carlin party,
have been proven false by this expendi-
ton. Kelley claimed that the abandon
ment of Colgate was entirely unneces-
sary.
A dispassionate investigation was
made by this expedition and it is plainly
evident that it was miracle that any
