starting on its way to join the
Ganges, which breaks through the
hills a little lower down.
The hot season has just closed and
the season known as "the rains" is
just commencing. Of course the hot
weather up here in the hills is moth
ing compared with what it is on the
plains. but even here one feels quite
sufocated and totally unfit for work
of any kind, SO that we most gladly
welcome the news that the monsoon
has broken. When once the rain
really begins it rains as if the Win
dows of heaven had all been opened
and it comes down in torrents.
When this sort of thing goes on as l
have seen it for two months with no
perceptible break 1t is easy to imagine
that it becomes rather tiresome, and
we wonder how we ever could have
wished that the rain would come.
Two or three months hence l may be
able to depict with greater %vividness
the glories of this season, and so L
will leave the matter for the present,
to write again later if time can be
found.

Central Asia In the Nineteenth Century.

Some details of the late Russian ex
plorer P~rejevalski's last journey through
the difficult wilds of central Asia have
just reached London. Some of the nov
Ell superstitions of the natives are amaz-
ting. For instance, orders were given by
the native authorities that no one should
sell land to the Russians, for the Chi
nese had assured them that the Russians
would plant willow trees, which would
grow with enormous rapidity and would
claim all the land in shadow.
Another story which was believed
was that the natural history cases con-
tanned the eggs of Russian soldiers,
which the explorer would hatch out
into whole regiments of troops. Gen
eral Prejevalski himself was supposed
to Deal a charmed life. A more useful
myth was that any Russian article if
stolen would begin to cry out, II am
here" till it was rescued.

a Long Sought For Beetle.

Professor A. D. Hopkins of the ag-
rioultural experiment station at Nor
gantown has just discovered a beetle
for which naturalists nave been looking
for many years in vain. 1t is the beetle
from the eggs of which come the worms
which have ruined so much chestnut
timber in this section of the country.
The worm has long been known, but
as long as the beetle which lays the
eggs was unknown it was impossible to
destroy it. Professor Hopkins has re-
ceived numbers of the larvae and has
carefully noted every phase connected
with their development into the pup@
and then the beetles. The beetle is one
that has never been known before and
belongs to a species of which but three
families have yer before been discov-
cred. -Martinsburg wv. Va Dispatch.

Sortillon May Be SavedNby Thirsty
 Jurymen.
 Sortillon was to be sentenced to death yesterday, but that dread formality of the law remains yet to be enacted. The prisonef>was brought into court and his attorney, Judge Israel, appeared and presented reasons why new trial should be granted. They were numer- ous and included all that constitute the repertoire of the skilled criminal lawyer. It looked as if there was no hope in the lower court for Sortillon. At last his attorney sprung reason which the court eagerly entertained for the pur. pose of investigation and sentence was deferred until June 5.
 One of the reasons urged by Judge Israel why new trial should be had was that if the jury had not been un- duly influenced opportunity had been offered for such influence. He said that in being conducted along the street by the bailiffs the members of the jury were permitted to struggle and salute acquaintances. The court did not con- slider this separation of the jury or a violation of an essential form.
 At last said Judge Israel on one occa- sioD when the jury had been taken to dinner at the Commercial hotel, certain of the memb bers wanted drink and were escorted to the bar in an adjoining de- partment while the other members re- mained in charge of another bailiff. That this fatal irregularity had oc- cured the attorney said he could show by the affidavit of a reputable physi- clan.
 The charge was so grave that the court instantly decided that it should be investigated and accordingly post poned a further hearing of the case until June 5. He further said that if it should be shown that the charge was true the severest punishment within the power of the court would be visited upon the bailiffs.
 Those officials are J. M. Davenport and J. F. Briggs. MT. Briggs was not appointed until after the case had been in progress two days and says that no such incident occurred during his ser vice. Mir. Davenport says that he vio- lated no trust imposed upon him by his oath

AN IMPORTANT PAPER.

We print in another place in this issue
the address of Hon. Joseph Nimmo, Jr.,
the eminent statistician and political
economist, delivered recently in Wash
ington, on "The Internal Commerce of
the United States and the Law of Its De-
velopment."
1t is a document of exceeding high
value, and should be read by every citi-
zen. 1t has the fine virtue of simplicity
and lucidity. 1t is understandable by
any one.
1t presents facts that all should know
and removes misconceptions and preju-
dices which unhappily obtain in large
degree.
1t reveals to the reader the magnitude
of the internal commerce of the nation,
of the importance of which only the few
have adequate conception. It puts very
clearly before the mind the important
truths under which the American rail-
road system exists. and how it has be-
come a system, growing out of the era
when each railroad company deemed its
wisest policy to be that which made it a
law unto itself.
1t shows clearly the interdependence of
the units and factors that constitute our
internal commerce, and traces the opera
tions of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the results as affecting the
relations between the people and the rail-
road companies.
1t shows that with railroad system of
200, 600 miles, subserying the interests of
20, 900. 900 people, and commerce valued
at S25, ,000, 600, 900, the number of cases of
unreasonable rates brought before the
commission has been "zero." and the
number of cases of unjust discrimination
but eleven. 1t further proves that rail-
road average rates per ton per mile have
in twenty years decreased from 1.9S5
cents TO .799 cents-eigh ghteen leading roads
