was found to have dined not long be-
fore on three young rabbits, which
were lying snugly in it's very long stom-

as they We're swallowed. The tail at
the junction of the rattles is formed
of a bundle of tibers much like those Of
tarred rope, one-third of an inch in
diameter, twisted in the same manner
and crossed, so as to give great force
to the end of the tail, on which the
loose rattles are arranged.
But the other end of the reptile is
of the most interest, because the ex-
animation completely upsets all the

RISE OF THE STEAMSHIP
Impossible to Guess What Speed May
Not BE reached Hereafter.


Twenty years ago it was thought by
! many that the limit as to size, speed
and economy had been reached. At
water at the harbors, and the cost,
are the limits that viii prevent fur
Their development on present lines.
With different material for construc-
ton, with liquid fuel, and other inn
proyements or inventions, it is possible
that twenty years from now one may
look back at the Lucania with her
PIG knots as we now look back on
the Germanic and Britannia of 1874
with their 16 knots
Piston speed in 1888 was about 200
feet per minute 400 feet in 1860, and
to-day it is from 800 to 1000 feet. On
the Minneapolis on her trial trip, the
piston speed was about 920 feet. The
steam pressure on ocean steamers up
to 1850 did not exceed 20 pounds. With
the earlier vessels, with only to 10
pounds of steam, it was possible to
stop leak in boiler ''by pushing a
rag in the hole" AS late as 1916 a
prominent firm Of engine builders in
/, England stated that from 10 to II
pounds was what they used for mer-
chant vessels, and they strongly recon-
mended that for the navy the pressure
should not be more than 10 pounds.
BY 1880 pressures had increased to
from go to 80 pounds, and on the intro
duction Of steel for boilers, pressures
went up to about 100 pounds by 1885,
and now boilers are being built, for
large steamers, to carry 200 pounds.
Special types of boilers for torpedo
boats and other uses carry much higher
pressure.
The Ericsson'S machinery weighs only
Sc pounds per horse power. This last
is for torpedo boats and high pressure
boats, and cannot yet be approached
for large vessels. On the trial trip the
Minneapolis developed 20,S12 horse
power, and the total weight of all the
machinery with the water in the boil
ers, was 1861 tons, SO that the weight
of machinery for each horsepower was
about 210 pounds. Had the Minneap-
oils machinery been of the same rela-
tive weight as that of the Powhatan
it would have weighed over $500 tons.
or 1000 tons more than that Of the

Serious Charges Against Ii Hung Chang.
LONDON, Nov. 50--A Shanghai dis
datch says: A sensation was caused by
a memorial to the throne signed by 100
high officials charging Lii Hung Chang
with treason. 1t declares that he re-
joiced at the Japanese victories; pre-
vented Chinese success; represented
thEt China was prepared for war,
knowing the contrary: charges that he
was implicated with Prince Kung, the
emperor's uncle, and president of the
Chinese parliament, who recently was
appointed dictator and commander of
the Chinese force at Port Arthur, in
the sale of secrets and war materials
to the enemy; further charges them
with investing money in Japan, and
conspiring to overthrow China. The
memorial demands their instant dis
missal and punishment.

The Japanese Army Captures 1t After
Eighteen Hours Fighting.
CnEE Foo, Nov. 80 Dispatches are
received here stating that the Japan
ese army, under command Of Field
Marshal Count Oyama, consisting of
about 10000 men, has captured Port
Arthur. The roads leading northward
from Port Arthur are supposed to have
been mined by the Chinese, and the
Japanese commander therefore de-
clined to take the risk Of marching the
troops along them. Consequently,
they were compelled to cut roads
through the forest to allow the pass
age of their artillery ammunition
trains, etc. The march was thus
necessarily slow Dispatches received
a few days ago stated the japanese
Were close to the city and attacked the
Chinese outposts, driving them back to
the entertainments three times, but
We're repulsed each time. 1t is evident
that larger attacks must have been
made and the outposts compelled to
fall back upon Port Arthur.
Several times the town was reported
to have been captured, but later dis
patches have shown that these reports
We're inaccurate and that the japanese
were conducting their operations
against the place with carefulness, and
that they intended when the real
attack was made that it should be
successful. Chez Foo, from which
place these dispatches announcing the
fall of Port Arthur are sent, is Chi
nese city on the north coast of Shang
Tung promontory. some ninety miles
south of Port Arthur, from which it is
separated by the gulf of Pc Chi Ii.

Exceeded Arrivals.

Exceeded Arrivals.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 29.-The
annual report of Superintendent Stump,
of the Immigrat ton Bureau, for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, shows
very natural falling off in the num-
Der of immigrants arriving in this
country. He estimates that since Oct.
IS, 1898, the exodus Of foreign steerage
passengers from the United States has
been greater than the number arriving,
and therefore concludes that numer-
ically there are now fewer foreigners
in the United States who came as steer
passengers than there were at the end
of the fiscal year 1898. From the
tables accompanying the report it APP
pears that during the last fiscal year
2ss,920 immigrants arrived in this
country. OF these 1856 were landed
and 1889 were debarred and deported.
