Japan and China are pretty evenly
matched in naval resources. Japan has in
Korea now according to the latest cables ten
warships. Eight of these are modern iron
and steel vessels. and two are old wooden
sloops of war. Japan's total warships num-
Der thirty-two, with tonnage of &c, 900. and
combined horse power of over $1,000.
China has forty-six warships, with total
tonnage OF $4,000, and a combined horse
power of72,0O japan is superior to China
in having done considerable with torpedo
boats and other modern inventions, while
China has given comparatively little atten-
ton to these lines of warfare.
In gunnery, navigation and tactical evo-
buttons China is the equal of Japan, for she
has specially engaged foreign experts, and
has sent her most promising officers to
Europe and America, whence they have re-

In 1882 Korea negotiated treaties with the
United States and several European coun-
tries. Notwithstanding this Korea is about
as lar backward to-day as ever. The people
are very primitive and densely ignorant.
They are consequently fearfully supersti
tious. The Koreans are proud of their an
tiquity. No influence can move them to
change their sloveniy white cotton garments
for anything more modern. A correspond
ent writes:
'"They insist on squatting on their hee.s
when they work in your garden, while they
use the short handled, awkward Korean hoe
Of the past ages, instead of the civilized i'm
plement ofto-day. This squatting posture
is a favorite one with them. We see long

The blue mould of cheese resembles
bread mould. 1t bears a cluster of
branches, each of which is a layer Of
naked spores, like a string of beads,
all breaking apart when matured.
These produce new fungi. This same

MILK INSTEAD OF FLOUR.
Farmers Who Say That 1t Pays Them to
Feed Wheat to Their Cows.

Farmers Who Say That 1t Pays Them to
Feed Wheat to Their Cows.
Philadelphia milk consumers may
probably be interested in an experiment
of the farmers of the Schuylkill valley,
whence that city receives large quantities
of its milk. Recently increased ship
ments of milk have been made. Wheat,
in round figures, sells at less than 65
cents, and owing TO its low price many
farmers are chopping theirs and feeding
it to cattle. They say that bran is
cent a pound, corn nearly cent pound,
oats cent a pound, and wheat a cent
pound, and that, as wheat has at least
one-rhird more milk producing qualities,
it is cheaper at present prices to feed it
than corn or anything else.
By actual test it was learned that 60
pounds of wheat make more milk and of
better quality than the same quantity of
corn, or almost any other class of feed.
and it is stated that since Schuylkill val
ley shippers are feeding wheat to their
cows their milk is pronounced of higher
standard of excellence. Farmers say that
they cannot afford to raise wheat for
fourmaking purposes unless they get 90
cents TO 81 misunderstanding Cor Phil

1~Ea Lake. FROM Which No Drowned
Person Was Ever Recovered.
III they succeed in recovering the
bodies OF Instructor Merriam and Miss
ieargln from the depths of Cayuga lake
oy means of electricity, as l see they in
tend to try TO do, said a gentleman who
grew up on the shores of Cayuga lake.
1t VIII be the first time in the history
OF the lake that the body of any person
drowned in its waters was ever seen
again. L always had liking for geolog-
zeal research and INDUCED it for many
years In investigating the bottom of Cay
uga lake.
My experiments satisfied me that the
bottom OF the lake is series Of large
openings and cavities, many of them
craterllke. Some of these are 100 feet in
diameter. These craters, as l believe
them TO be, lie at different depths. or.
rather, their raised edges are of different
heights. Their depths are fathomless.
They have undoubtedly become the re-
ceptacles of the bodies of the hundreds
Of people who are known to have been
drowned in the lake since that country
was settled and of the undoubtec thou
sands of people killed in the fierce bat
ties that were frequently waged on the
shores Of the lake between hostile tribes
OF aboriginal warriors during the CEN
turies preceding the coming of the white
man.
1T was in Cayuga lake that the fiend-
ish murderer Ruloff lowered the bodies
Of his wife and child, so years ago, after
he had murdered them. The bodies were
Enclosed In chest, as he confessed be-
fore he was hanged at Binghamton for
another murder. The weeks that were
spent in dragging the lake for this chest
were simply wasted, for it was sunk into
the mouth of one of those bottomless
openings, and, if it is not sinking yet, is
still floating about in those mysterious
depths.
Within half century more than 100
persons have been drowned in Cayuga
lake, to recover the bodies of whom the
graphing iron and drag were used in
dustriously, but in vain. If it were pos
sible for one to make the rounds of this
lakes craterlike bed, he would, without
doubt, encounter hideous charnel houses
beyond number-caverns where hosts Of
grinning skeletons have found sepulcher,
catacombs without end. Per-
haps the electricians exploring the lake
bottom with their intense lights, as they
purpose doing, may make some snch dis
coveries. Rochester Post-Express.

Mark Twain.

Mark Twain's hair has grown white
and his physique is not SO stalwart as it
was few years ago, but his mind is as
juvenile as ever. He has a hacking
cough, which, when he gives way to it,
is almost convulsive in its tendency, but
the humorist seems entirely Indifferent
to its violence. He sat In prominent
New York club a few days ago, running
spasmodically from one story to another
and commenting upon the talk Of his
companions, with a perpetual smile lurk-
ing around the corners of his mouth.
Yet at short intervals he was bent over
almost double under the violence of his
cough. When his companions referred
to it, as they did on one or two occasions,
Mr.. Clemens seemed quite unaware of
the fact that he had been arousing good
deal of sympathy as well as incessant
laughter.
