Professor Moore's Steam Man.

A steam imam" is the latest American
novelty. The inventor, Professor George
Moore, made a similar apparatus with
partial success a number of years ago,
but his present venture is larger and in
tended to draw wagon. The figure,
feet high. is incased in metal and looks
like knight in medieval armor, with
helmet and visor, smoking a cigar. The
cigar, however, is an escape pipe, and
the plumes of the helmet veil the top Of
the chimney. The furnace and boiler
are contained inside the trunk and the
moving mechanism in the rest of the
body. The man walks briskiy at pace
of four or five miles an hour.

Jaya's Population.
How much room is there still on the
earth for mankind? This is question
which is often raised and which is an
swered in a great many different ways
As all food is either directly or indirect
ly derived from the vegetable kingdom,
and the plants need the light and the
heat of the sun, the question as to how
the light and heat are distributed is an
important one. If we assume (Which is
true) that only go per cent of the heat of
the sun reaches the earth, the remainder
being absorbed by the atmosphere, then
ATTITUDES 90 degrees north and south will
receive 80 per cent; 40 degrees north and
south, IS per cent; so degrees north and
south, 40 per cent, and the poles only II
per cent of the heat received at the equa-
tor. Therefore the countries which on
account of the 9i2ount of heat received
are in the most favorable circumstances
to produce great amount of vegetable
food lie in the tropics, provided the
other condition of plant life is found
that is, dampness.
In Europe people were particularly
impressed with the information commu-
nicated by Humboldt, on his return
from his American journey, concerning
the great amount of food furnished by
the banana in tropical countries. 1t was
later proved, however, that the distin-
guished naturalist was mistaken, first,
in ascribing so high state of productive
ness to the banana, and, second, because
the banana is not generally suitable to
be used as the principal food for man.
AS the grains are cultivated wherever
agriculture is advanced, in the damp
parts of south and east Asia we find
rice, in the dry parts of India and the
greater part of tropical Africa, millet
and sage, and in tropical America, prin
cipally corn.
The banana is even less fitted to fur
nish the staple food than the potato. A!
an accessory, however, like the potato il
the wealthy countries of Europe ant
North America, it is very important. Al

Shakespeare seems to have been sent

grasp of the human nature; and to have
been removed, therefore, from all inf1u-
ences which could in the least warp or
bias his thoughts, 1t was necessary that
he should lean no way; that he should

Judgment, the life. of the court, cloister,
and tavern, and be able to sympathise
so completely with all creatures as to de-
prive himself, together with his personal
identity even of his conscience, as he
casts himself into their hearts. He must
be able to enter into the soul of FalStaH
and Shylock with no more sense of con-
tempt or horror than FalStaH or Shylock
themselves feel for or in themselves;
otherwise his own conscience and 1ndig-
nation would make him unjust to them;
he would turn aside from something,
miss some good, or overlook some essen

A FEW FACTS.
Baltimore sun Shows How the Truth
Us Perverted Sometimes.

IS
Baltimore, July 24.-Under the cap
ton How the Truth is Perverted Some
times" the Baltimore Sun will say to-
morrow editorially:
The charges against the president,
hints and innuendoes which have been
made in the Senate are ali the more
daStardly because his position scarcely
permits him to protect himself.
It will not do for the president of the
United States to handy words with SEN
ators.
1t is just as well to state a few facts
as they are given by those who are in
day last week a personal friend of Sen
ator German asked the president to
send for Senator German and talk to
him about the tariff bill, assuring him
it was his conviction that such an i'm
terview would go far towards settling
the tariff deadlock.
The gentleman who made this request
OF the president was so close to Mr..
German that he had every right to be
Eeye that the request came from the
senator himself. After some hesitation,
Mr.. Cleveland wrote a note to Mr.. Cor
man. asking him 10 come and see him,
and Mr.. German came.
The interview, instead of being
stormy, as was asserted was as calm
and quiet as possible.
The services of Mr.. German in de-
cIariug that nothing but sudden death
could prevent his making his speech
against the president did not occur.
The president did not request him not
10 make the speech, nor did the senator
give the president any idea of the
Character of the speech he was going to
make, telling him only that he was
going 10 make brief statement OF
Facts.

tenor Of the speech than Mr.. Cleveland.
But more than anything else, the
president was astonished at the conduct
OF the senators upon whom Mr.. German
called for confederation.
In their remarks in the Senate they
sought TO make it appear that the
president had abandoned his advocacy
of free iron and coal. y
Whatever was done by the president
in this connection was done at the
earnest solicitation of senators named.
Mr.. Cleveland did not lay so much
stress upon the form of the bill, as it
passed the Senate.
He was assured and he believed the
defects would be cured in the confer
ence committee.
1t was the presidents earnest desire
all along to get the bill away from the
Senate, where there was danger that
it would be throttled, and into the con-
ference commimttee and to assist IN
this he was urged by the corroboratlng
senator's. The establishment of the
president, therefore, can be imagined
when the senators tried upon the hoor
of the Senate to try to have it appear
that he had abandoned his principles

PLOTTED AGAINST THE WHITES.

DeviIish Scheme of Black Fiends in
Simpson County, Mississippi-A
Conspiracy to Murder and Burn.
Jackson, Miss, July 24.-News of a
race war in Simpson county, Missis-
sippi, reached here today. The negroes
are alleged to have held several secret
meetings recently, at which they
entered into a conspiracy to murder
the white people and burn their
homes. One of these meetings was at
tended by white men, who secreted
themselves and heard the plot. A
negro woman made fiery speech,
and told her auditors to murder the
white men, and the negro women
would look after the white women and
children. The exposure Of the plot
created great excitement among the
whites, who took several of the negro
leaders out and give them severe
whippings.
The mob then took the negro woman
to a swamp and no trace of her has
been found since.
1t is believed she was lynched.

ReinfOrcements For America.

Washington, July 24.-Hostilities be-

immediate reinforcement of the United
States naval forces on the China sta
ton. At present this consists of only
two vessels, the cruiser Baltimore and
the antiquated Monocacy. They are
both at Chemulpo, Corea, and it would
be impossible for them to properly COW
er the enormous extent of sea coast
that must be watched. Owing to the
demands Of the seal patrol service,
there is only one vessel at present
available for the China station That
is the Charleston, now at Mare island.
When the close season in the seal
waters expires, it is probable that some
of the vessels of the patrol fleet can
be spared and ordered to proceed to
proceed to China. In this case. the

FRENCH PRESS AND IT'S WRITER'S.

The French press is at once the
brightest, the most interesting and the
most literary press in the world-a
leisurely press, which does not live at
fever heat, and which relies more on
the ability of its writers than on the
obtainment of news, treating its public
en- famille, discreet in the matter of
domestic scandals, polite to authors and
composers; in fine, press which has
learned so we'll the art of exciting in
terest that it invests even the dullest
of parliamentary debates with liter
airy garb which conveys to the reader
all the information he is likely to need,
and is in itself a model of witty con-
densation. The French press is artis-
tic in all its methods, and whether the
French journalist is writing a theatre
cal criticism or inditing a Ss2rag graph of
current news his hand has always a
delicacy of touch for which French
journalism appears to possess a special
secret. A journal of the verre and
good humor of the Figaro is without
its equal in the press Of the world.
The favorite writer's of the Paris press
are almost as popular with the Partisan
public as the heroes of the open-air con-
certs, which is saying g, great deal.
Their persons and their styles are

one OF them is ParlSlan event TO De

name of journalist, however is in con-
siderable disfavor in Partisan society,
because it is generally associated with

themselves to special subjects enjoy a

to lower the journalistic profession in
the eyes of the public; it is also a fruit
full source of duels. There is but one

MOTHER AND SON IN FRANCE.
rFror Tho Position Herald. !

lFrom the boston leidlu-J
President Casirnir-Perier, like his pre-
decessor, has some excellent ancestral
training back of his own noble career His
mother is one of the noble women who
raise sons worthy of the state, and it is
owing to her influence that he accepted
the eminent position which no man with
his senses quite envies him. The French
mother is unlike mothers of other coun-
tries, inasmuch as she rules the children
of her house, and never ceases to be unto
her sons both a law and a sentiment
Peculiarly characteristic of France, the
close attachment is most beautiful, and,
in spite of the novel which always repre-
sents the Frenchman shrieking for ma
mere on the least provocation, 1t is one
of the best safeguards of the nation. Wo-
men have not been emancipated as rapidly
in France as they have in other lands,
for the simple reason that they have not
felt the need of greater freedom of
thought or action. The secret of this SUI
pine attitude lies in the tender relations
of the family life, existing especially be-
tween mother and son.
