Word has been sent to the courts Of
Europe that the Shah of Persia intends
to visit Berlin, ST. Petersburg Berlin
and Vienna next spring. He will start
on his journey in May or June, and
will remain in Europe several months.
The rulers whom he is to honor are in
an unhappy state of mind already on
account of the proposed visit, alleges
the New York Tribune. No living
sovereign, in all probability, is more
unwelcome guest than the Shah, but
his cousins in Europe are obliged to
receive him with all the honors due to
his rank. Entertaining him is more
expensive than entertaining any other
monarch. His retinue is almost n
legion.

NJ. Gault states that the Rus
SLAMS, since their occupation of the
district embraced by the valleys of the
Syr Daria and the Zarafshan, have
given very great development to the
cultivation of cotton, and have intro
duced several American varieties of the
plant, notably the upland. At first
the natives were so prejudiced against
the new plants that the experiments
failed, but the Russians persevered,
and, whereas nine years ago Turke-
stan produced only $500 poods of
cotton worth $l433, the quantity ex-
ported in 1890 was about 1900, 900
poods, of an estimated value of
$1,000, 900.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The average man uses twenty nine
pounds of sugar per annum.
A scheme has lately been devised to
use electricity as fertilizer of the
soil.
The largest meteoric stone was
found in Greenland and weighs so, 600
pounds.
The purer the water the more active
it is in corroding and pitting iron or
steel plates.
The water that trickles into the
Comstock mine, Nevada, near the bot
tom of the shaft is heated nearly to
the boiling point.
One of the African Steamship Com
pany's vessels recently steamed for
sixty miles near Senegal through To-
Gusts that thickly covered the surface
of the water.
A substance that is expected to excel
ivory-in point of cheapness only, of
course-is being made out of milk,
coagulated, mixed and submitted to
tremendous pressure that renders it
absolutely solid and durable.
The average quantity of salt in the
open water is about 81 per cent. 1t has
been estimated that the total amount
in all the ocean area is equal to
81, 419, 800 cubic miles, or fourteen
and one-half times the entire mass of
the continent of Europe above high
water mark, mountains and all.
A sort of antidecay apparatus has
been invented for preserving pictures.
1t is glass tray with solid back, and
the picture is put inside and hermeti-
cally sealed. The air is then ex-
hausted with an air pump, with the
result that in this vacuum the paint
will preserve its pristine freshness

leaks.
BY exposing hens eggs to the vapors
of alcohol for periods ranging from
twenty-six to forty-eight hours, NJ.
Ch. Fere has ascertained that their
development is much retarded and
often results in the production of
monstrosities. In some instances al
coholized eggs of nearly a hundred
hours were hardly as far developed as
normal eggs of twenty hours.
A curious method of resuscitation
in vogue among the miners of Scotland
in the case of insensibility from ex-
posuro to choke-damp, and which is
said to be very efficacious, is as follows
The half-suffocated man is placed face
downward over hole freshly dug in
the earth and allowed to lie. until he
showed signs of consciousness. The
idea involved in this proceeding is
that the fresh earth draws the foul gus
out of the lungs.
Trees are felled by electricity in the
great forests OF Calicia. For cutting
comparatively soft wood the tool is in
the form of an auger, which is
mounted on a carriage and is moved
to and fro and revolved at the same
time by a small electric motor. AS the
cut deepens wedges are inserted to pre-.
vent the rift from closing, and when
the tree is nearly cut through an AK or
hand saw is used to finish the work.
In this way trees are felled very
rapidly and with very little labor.

That typical Arizona town, Yuma,
will probably soon be lifted from Ari-
zona into California, where, it is
claimed, it has always rightly belonged.
Up to about fifteen years ago the point
was often contended between the local
authorities both sides the disputed
line, but since the arrest, in 1877, by
the Arizona authorities of n San Di-
ego (Cal. tax collector who tried to
collect taxes in Yuma, the question
has been dropped. The land office
authorities have always evaded the
question. Recently William Hycks
was indicted by the Federal grand
jury for selling liquor to Indians in
Yuma. He denies the jurisdiction of
the court to try his case, citing the
authority of the treaty of GuadaIoupe
Hidalgo and the recent reports of the
international boundary commission to
show that Yuma is in California. 1t is
thought out there that Hycks may win
his case and that the town will soon be
Yuma, California, instead of Yuma.

from which she had been shielded. The
wolves, half tired of their prey, were
looking up with fierce, wild eyes and
dripping jaws. The night grew black
about her, and earth and sky seemed
rolling away together.
Then, with sudden inspiration her
mind cleared, and grasping Jacks arm
to steady herself, she began to whistle,
soft and low. but clear as bell or the
plaintive morning cry of the meadow
lark. The wolves listened mutely, but
the horse pricked up his ears and
broke into gallop. He had known
the call since pony.
AS Modoc reached her Nancy threw
her arms over his foam covered neck,
and Jack just heard her words:
'Quick, in the saddle pocket at the
right. Il had forgotten all about it.)
There there nearer the girth. Oh,
Jack, the wolves are movingl Can't
You find it, the pistol you gave me in
the fall? 1t is loaded. Quickly, as you
love me p' But Nancy's strength was
gone, and she lay very still at Modocs
feet.
One of the beasts had already
crawled over the PROSTATE horse, but
his temerity cost him dear. The bullet
from a clean, straight aim took him
squarely between the eyes, and he fell
quivering on his prey At the report
his mate sprang high III the air, but
her ugly, revengeful cry as she vaulted
toward Jack was cut in two by the
second bullet; then third, fourth,
not until the revolver was empty and
both wolves motionless did Jack throw
aside his weapon and turn to the
living.
1t was past midnight, when, with
Nancy in his arms, he staggered to the
door of the little cabin. The kindly,
ite-haired Bishop was first to meet
him, and lifting the exhausted girl,
he placed her tenderly on the couch,
ministering to her gently as woman.
The doctor grasped Jack by the
hand, and, with warning gesture of
silence, led him to the sick bed, where
to his infinite JOY he found his mother
alive, and sleeping like little child.
A strong hand OH his shoulder, and he
heard the Bishop say;
''My son, it is like miracle. Twice
to- day we thought her dying, but now
the doctor bids you hope. God has
been very merclful this night"
And Nancy, who had come back to
life in the warmth and light, crept to
her lovers side as she said "Amen. -

One of the latest and most popular
developments of New York society is
the lady lecturer, who talks to an
audience exclusively feminine upon the
topics of the day. These talks, " as
they are called, are held only in private
drawing-rooms, and are listened to
with the most intelligent interest by O
score or more of women who have
dubbed together to engage some we'll
informed woman to post them, viva
voce, upon all subjects with which they
should be conversant. This lisa charm.
ing way to acquire knowledge, and one
which will undoubtedly grow more
and more popular among those who
either have not the time or the inclina-
tion to study for themselves.

EVENING":

Far DER the plains the setting sun
Sinks in flood of liquid light
The creeping shadows dark and dun
Speak the diurnal journey run.
And herald the approaching night.
The slanting sunbeams glance and CLEAN
On many broad and winding stream
Whose slowly winding waters seem
Full 10th to lose a ray.
The smiling groves. the fruitful trees,
Deserted by the wand FIRING breeze,
Fade dimly on the eye that sees
The gently dying day.
The mountains bare their storn-beat breast
In gladness to the golden West.
And every shining height
Ambitious rears its joyful peak
70 catch the last faint golden streak
OF slowly waning light.
So dies the day, and as it dies,
Fair Luna mounts the Eastern skies,
Calm, cold, majestic, as to say
why mourn the slow-departing day?
Let grief for fair Aurora's flight
Be lost in rapture for the night"

The dismantlement of Worlds Fair

godsend to the poor of Chicago. In
jackson Park there were recently 1000
wagon loads of excellent frewood
which the officials were glad to get rid
of. The Chicago Relief and Aid So.
ciety obtained permission to cart the
wood away, and put up the following
sign on the park fence near the Sixty.

the Poor. Any person with horse
and wagon is now admitted to the park
and allowed to take away all the wood
his wagon will hold, the only condi-
tion being that he shall present per-
init from the society The pile of
debris through which the wood is seat
tered has a length of 800 yards, width
of loo yards and a height of twelve
feet. 1t consists of baskets, boxes and
barrels. The man in need of fuel has
only to delve in this pile to get as SER

Great Human Endurance.

President Jeremiah Head of the Sec
tion of mechanical science of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement
of Science in his annual address calls
attention, among other things, to the
power in man to withstand varying at
mospheric pressutes. Thus, al
though fitted for an extreme atmos-
pheric pressure of about fifteen pounds
to the square inch, he has been en-
abled, as exemplified by Messrs.
Glaisher and Coxwell in 1862, to as
cend to height of seven miles and
breathe air at a pressure of only three
and one-half pounds to the square
inch and still live. And, on the other
hand, divers have been down into the
water eighty feet deep, entailing an ex-
ira pressure of about thirty six pounds
per square inch, and have returned
safely. One has even been TO a depth
of $50 feet, but the resulting pressure
of sixty-seven pounds pex square inch
cost him his life. These are, however,
extreme cases. Most men experience
great inconvenience at any altitude
over two and one-half miles, and few
can stand the rareiied atmosphere
above the three-and- half mile limit
in the Andes or Himalayas. So, too,
with the increased pressure; few can
long withstand the benumbing effects
of fifty feet below the surface in water,
although the knowledge of the case
with which the normal pressure may
be again reached lends courage and
assurance, very important factors in
such cases, to the daring experimenter,
while the extreme labor of ascending
mountains or the uncertainties of
balloon action are deterrent in the
other direction.

A SONG TO TIL EE.

The springtime hath its winds that kiss
The roses, white and red
Nor shall one sweet wind go amiss
Where any rose is shed.
And summer hath her sigh and song,
But love thee the whole year long
The winter hath its frost
And roses, born of spring
And summers flowers in ice are lost,
And birds forget to sing
All winter doth grievous wrong,
But I love thee the whole year long
Life hath but little space
Men love, and then they go
For all their glory and their grace
Beneath the stars and snow.
o. Death it doth grievous wrong,
But love thee a whole life long!

SHALL POX NEWS.

The small pox situation here re-
mains practically the same as yes
terday. No new cases of the di-
sease are reported.
One additional death from the di.
sease is reported from College Hill,
Peggie Hill, a grown daughter of
Charlotte Hill. Three or four cases
are reported in critical condi-
ton.
Board of Health held a meeting
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and DR.. Simmons reported eleven
cases Of "small pox' in the city,
and no new cases. This report is at
variance with report of Dr. Web
ster, the day before, as he stated
he had visited twenty seven cases.
Dr. Simmons has also stated public
ly that he recommended a quaran-
tine of the disease from the first,
which Mayor Edwards denies On
the doctors statement we favored
his retention as city health officer
and to continue in charge of small
pox patients. But in view of disa-
greement between him, and the
Mayor, also DR., Webster, (and in
fact the Board, as to the nature of
the disease) it is now evident that
another physician should take
charge and treat the disease.
DR.. Chapman, city health officer
of Paris, and Lamar county came
in this morning to examine cases,
in the interest Of his city. He told
Drs. Greene, Talbot and others that
it was continent small pox. DR..
Chapman left on 1925 train, and we
failed to see him.
Today the Board propose to take
all cases possible to the pest
house.

how a prominent German citizen of

The East Side board Of Health,
through its officers, telegraphed to
Governor Fishback, at Little Rock
asking for aid from the State Gov
ernment, for TeXmkana, to assist
the city in properly isolating and
treating the disease Of small pox
now prevailing among She colored
population Of the city. We under
stand that no appropriation was
made by the last Legislature, look
ing to this end, 1t has also been
stated that there is noState Health
Board now in existence, This,
however, is an error as there is
such a board, one Of our local ply
sicians being a member thereof.
The whole difficulty seems to lie in
the failure of the State Legislature
to make any appropriation, for the
furtherance of its work. Certainly
an unfortunate omission on the
the part of our legislature,

We are reliably informed that
the small pox, which first made it's
appearance on College Hill, is gen
orally believed tohaye been brought
there by one Of the two, both sick
at the time, taken from Fry's army
when that body passed through
Texarkana, several weeks since.
We know nothing of the matter
save that which has been impaired
to us by others, but this certainly
offers a very plausible explanation
of the medium through which the
disease was introduced into our city
as the men composing the army had
been gathered all the way from the
Pacific Slope to East Texas.

twenty more than the highest esti-

The telegraphic report sent in to

here, which also appears in its col
umns today, is entirely correct, Civ
ing a fair and conservative state
ment of the disease and its present

to blame for the error, which is a
