IT is positively asserted by those
who claim to be conversant with the
facts. that Cuba will have the rights
of belligerency accorded TO her by
Mexico and several South American re-
publics within very short time. Fa-
cilities for coaling stations will be pro-
vided for the patriot navy, and for all
vessels sailing under letters of marque
Issued by the officials of the republic
of Cuba. There will be several of the
latter, which will be manned by naval
men from different countries, and
there are many applications on file at
Cuba2 headquarters in New York for
positions in the fleet.

a YEAR ago Commissioner of Pen
eions Lochren said that the limit had
probably been reached in the mum beI
of pensions, but that for two or three
years the payments would remain
about the same. While the amount OF
money paid for pensions will not be
materially different from that of past
years. it appears that there has beer
added to the pension rolls during the
year about 1000 names in excess o..
those that have dropped out. The year
has not been very fatal to pensioners,
the death rate being less than anyon;
would naturally expect.

EUROPE has gone daft, speculatively,
over the rich discoveries in South At
rican gold mines The chief center OF
speculation is, of course, in London.
but the craze has spread over into
France and is beginning to be a factor
in Berlin and Vienna There is talk
even of placing some of the mining
shares on the New York stock ex-
change. The gold lies in rock nearly
uniform in dip and in richness so great
that it has been found possible to fore
cast the yield of gold from a given ter.
ritory very accurately. At present the
English capitalist is wrapped up in
Kafir speculation.

ideal let in on their darkened lives.
And physically the arrested develop

MACHINE TRLEGRAPHY.-CRAIG
SYSTEM.

The telegraph, or the use Of the cleo
trio mail is now, on long distances,
confined to the wealthy patron, or to
the business man in a great emergency,
or to the poor in bereavement-tele-
graphing of sickness or death, at what
is to them a distressing expenditure
or to the venal creature whom the
monopolists own (whatever the official
title or the press name of the creature
may beg. 1t should be the popular mail,
in the most literal sense of the term.
The telegraph should-and under
proper regulations would-carry nine
tenths of the letters daily transmitted
between the Pacific and the Atlantic
States, OF indeed between all postoffices
a thousand or more miles apart. You
say, denying or doubling: 1T cannot
be done without great and ruinOus loss
to the telegraph company, or the gov
ernment-If the government ls IN own
ership and control" It can. But the
managers of the twin monopolies testify
that it costs them, on an average, from
% to Is cents per message now" There
is much jugglery-arithmetic in the
making of this re-stated testimony;
but accepting it as true, for the nOnce,
please take this information with it
now:
The carrying capacity of a single
Morse wire has been increased, by the
Craig machine, from 25 words per
minute to over three thousand words
per minute.
One machine when utilized by a
Craig instrument, is equal to tbirty-six
Morse wire circuits.
1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
recently, by thirty days tests, that by
the Craig method fifteen thirty word
messages can be photographed complete,
over one wire in one minute, from New
York to Chicago, a distance of 1,O27
miles. And, under most adverse
weather, fifteen thirty-word messages
could be t~elegraphed from New York
TO San Francisco in three minutes.
Editors of daily and weekly journals
be supplied with special and exclu-
3ive news reports from their own spe-
eial correspondents at the rate of five
hundred words per minute, at less than
,ne fourth that which they now pay for
Inferior associated reports. In this
statement we are placing the capacity

T7HE hats have revolutionized
hairdressing. 1t 1s a bit
comforting to think, howev-
er, that there will not be a
total revolution in style, for French
hats rarely suit English faces, and
English bonnets are seldom chosen by
Americans. The poke bonnet which
has such uglifying or identifying pos
sibilities originated in France and it
is but natural to infer it will appear
in New York. Indeed, it has made it's
advent already, says the New York
Telegram.
The thing that most concerns Che
woman of to-day in the fashionable
line is the new arrangement of che
hair. The bewitchment in jetty locks
and golden curls is really not merely
an agreeable romance of poets. Every
woman can practically prove the trans
figuring charm Of q becoming coiffure
and discover for herself the magical
effect of increasing or decreasing her
apparent age by different ways OF
dressing her hair.
No. 1, in the double column illus
tration, shows the coifure much be-
praised by man. 1t seems to be
ideally feminine to wear ones tresses
arranged with parting. 1t is much
in vogue now, but the only woman
who can afford to dress her hair in
this Madonna-like mode is one who
has the face of st. Cecilia or one
with regularly modelled features,

brain, such as silver of skull or o
piece of bullet. But operation
among the tissues of the brain in the
effort to find such substance was
dangerous work, from which many
surgeons shrunk, though it was justi-
fed in extreme cases.
10 poke an instrument about the
interior folds of the brain in the ef-
fort to i3nd small fragment of for
eign substance was not only danger
GUS, but in most cases fruitless. This
has now been obviated by the tele-
phonic probe, which instantly tells
the operator when he has touched the
foreign substance, and then, by an in
genious mechanical arrangement, the
probe, without being moved from it's
position, opens and grssps the frag-
ment, which is quickly removed. In
connection with the diamond drill ior
operation on the skull, this discovery
has enormously advanced brain surg
cry. b,
It consists of three parts. First,
there is the probe, which is gently in
sinuated through the tissues; second,
little pocket battery connected with
the ear-piece, and third, the ear-piece
itself, which is exactly like the corre-
spending part of a telephone.
The detective and extractive powers
of this apparatus are said to be infal-
ible, and the extraordinary fneness
of its work is particularly serviceable
in the brain, whose tissues are so eds
lily damaged, and where, naturally,
the very least amount of laceration is
desirable. ... e..
