Harris Circus.
The rainy weather and soft condi-
ton of the ground interfered with the
performance of Harris Nickel-P Plate
Circus Monday. The tents were put
up but they could not be used to give
a show under. There was no street
parade and some of the wagons mired
down in taking them to the grounds so
they could not be got out in time for
this even if the weather had permitted
But they gave a performance despite
the difficulties and disadvantages under
which they were surrounded. Burwell
Hall was secured for this purpose and
the character of the entertainment
demonstrated the merits of the show
under favorable auspices.
There was no riding, no performing
horses, educated ponies, or trick mules,
of course, nor did the children see the
animals. but without these the per-
Torrance was we'll worth the price Of
admission. The bill was made up Of
part of the features of the circus, the
sideshow and concert and altogether
it was creditable and enjoyable en-
tertainment throughout. The boy &C
robats were especially fine, while the
other acts were very good. AS nc
programmes were used we cannot give
the names of the individual performers
or the acts presented.

There Arc Nearly Thousand and They
 Have ElourishinG Club.
 MT. Mixes, whose remarkable skill in decipheriug badly directed letters at Inc post office was referred to in the Chicago Tribune the other day, is one of a colony of something like a thou sand deaf mutes in Chicago, many of whom occupy important positions. One of them is a lawyer of high standing, another is chemist and assaycr of the National Smelling agd Refining com pany, another is head bool.llcepcr in a wholesale grocery house, another is president of land association. Be sides these the "silent people" in Chi cago are scattered umong the trades including shocmaking cabinet work. wood carving baking and typcsCttingr There are quite q nuaber of compos- itors, the majority of whom work on the weekly trade papers. Until the adoption of the typesetting machines the deaf mutes were weG represented among the EIorning papers, but now there is only one setting type on q morning paper and none on any of the evening papers Heretofore q large number of the pupils at the deaf and dumb institutions have learned the printing trade, but since typesetting machines have como into such general uss the authorities have discouraged entrance into this trade as much as possible, although it is one which pre- sents no obstacles to the deaf mute, as he is only required to exercise the fac ulty of seeing ill order to do his work properly,
 The Chicago mutes have an organiza- tion known as the "Pas-a-Pas club, ' which has its rooms in the building on the southeast corner of Clark and Ran dolph streets, occupyingthe entire fifth floor The first steps toward the for. nation of this organiza ion were taken twelve years ago at picnic of deaf Flutes in Jackson park, The idea proved popular and the Club has flour isAcd ever since. Social and literary meetings are held regularly in the win tertime and pianics fn the summer. Balls are given frequently. The most brilliant function of this character was that which took place at the Grand Pa eidc hotel three years ago, where four hundred people were in attendance.

the baseball matches, should be con- fined to college grounds, with the avowed intention of reducing the num- Der and improving the character of the spectators, reducing the expenses and minimizing the publicity and spectacu- lar features of the competitions Another desirable result of this policy would be the elimination of most of the gambling and very demorahzing sport ing" clements that inevitable gather around events like he great football matches that fill the columns of the newspapers for several weeks every autumn. Certainly the students them selves would undergo less excitement and Guffer less distraction from their legitimate college work if the scale on which their athletic rigalries are tested were effectively reduced. When these rivalries become matters of national concern they naturally tend 10 become dangerously intense and injurious to health and morals.
 We think this policy of restraint should also be applied to the practice that has now become universal among the colleges of sending out troupcs of young men organized as glee, banjo and mandolin clubs to give public per fornances for money in the leading cities during the holiday recess, These lads travel about the country in special cars, give ten or fifteen concerts in pulp lie halls and undergo q succession of social attentions calculated to im- pair the constitutions of seasoned men, To say nothing of immature youths who arc supposed to be resting and recuper- ating from the strain of three months of hard work at theit lessons and lee lures. Essentially their performances are not to be distinguished from the professional shows, and when they be- come an annual affair they are as tire some as they are surely a tax on the good nature of the local alumni, be- sides being an unwhOlesome experienced tO those who take part in them.
 We have heard that the authorities at Harvard hay served notice to the glec and banjo clubs of that university that their present tour is to be the last one. It is 10 be hoped that the report is well founded, and that the example win be followed elsewhere, as it de- serves to be. Let tac college youth at tend their colleges and be required to attend more exclusively to their regu- lar college business.

A valuable discovery has been made at Pianella-Setteimin near Pompcii, on the property of Q certain NJ. Vim cent de Prosco A house has been un- earthed which was covered at the time the city was buried, and it is said to be in more perfect condition than any building yet discovered. It contains several large apartments, anG three bathrooms with the basins in sculp- turcd marble, and with leaden pipes ornamentcd with bronze faucets. The three rooms correspond, says writer, in describing the discovery, to the "calidarium tepidarium, and frigi- darium, which were always to be found in ancient houses of the first class. In consequence of the eruption of Vesu- vius, A. D. 70, the Pompciian houses brought to light heretofore have been rooAess, almost without exception. Fortunately however, that on the property of NJ. de Presco is perfect, and archmologists arc happy over that fact. The roof measures almost forty-four feet in lcngth" :"

''From Central and South America They grow there in long pods, and the pods contain from four to five kernels. They were carried to the old world in the early days, and in the seventeenth century they constituted the chief staple of Africa You vii find if you look it up that the slave dealers of Africa in those days used to load their ships with peanuts to be used as food for their human cargoes. The negroes who were imported from Africa to this country brought over the peanut and they were scattered and first grew in Virginia. And now this country Is rais- Ing the crop, and, owing to American shrewdness, the nut is ground and used for various purposes and shipped all over the world.
 II reckon you know" the vender con tinued, that peanuts in certain condl- tion are more nutritious than beef. When specially prepared they rank with beans and peas, The peanut is said to contain go per cent. of protein md l9 DOT cent. of fat. Whatis known as peanut meal contains 59 per cent. of protein and per cent. of fat. It is tho cheapest of a5 food materials
 In 1861 and 1865 peanut oil was man. ufacturcd largely in four southern states, and was employed us substi-. tutc for olive oil In fact, one drug gist admitted, some of the "olive oil" sold now in this country is nothing moro than peanut oil, Nearly all of the olive oil sold in the United States is mixed with part of tho peanut Pea nuts furnish from 80 to 50 per cent. of the weight of thci kernels in oil Sometimes peanut oa is used for light iSg, and again it is utilized to advan- tage in the making of soap and us lubricant in machine shops.
 The American peanut is larger and better favored than any other, but it does not contain so much oil ns the Af- rcan nut. The "calle" which is left aftcr extracting the oil makes excellent feed for cattle, aud is used very largely Or that purpose in Germany, where it sells for $50 to s38 ton. This country owes to Germany the suggestion it has received in relation to the edible quail ties of peanuts, and the department of agriculture is now Investigating the method of Germany in the way in which that country has handled the nut, and the result is to be published by the department for the benefit of the farmers.

The attention of the British admiral ty has been called to the one serious drawback the modern steel ship pos sesses, namely, the death-lilSe coldness of the interior walls. It is possible, in deed to warm the ship with steam, but nothing can warm the sides in cold weather, and the man that sleeps near the unsympathetic steel is liable to contract rheumatism in the unconscious effort to warm it by the sacrifice of his own vital heat. On very cold days the closed air ports will drop ieicles, and the seaward wall of a stateroom will be as cold as ice.

HOW FISH ASCEND.
cxyGen Necessary to Mako Them Rise Ob-
 talned from Their Own Blood.


 talned from Their Own Blood.
 A curious physiological discovery has been made in the last year by Prof Bohr, of Copenhagen, in regard to the mode of storage by which fish ac- cumulates 50 much oxygen in the air that distends the swimming or air blnddcr.
 Tho air contained therein has a per ccntage of oxygen that may rise to as much as eighty-hyc, an amount in ex- cess of the percentage in atmospheric air. Prof. Bohr tapped the air blad- dcrs Gf codfish aud drew off the gas by meaes of Q trocar and airtight syringe. The gas had iifty-two per cent. of oxy- gen. In few hours the air bladder vas rcfillcd, apparently by q process of secretion of gas from the blood in the capillaries on the wall of the bladder. In ono experiment the gas thus se- erected had eighty per cent. of oxygen. When Sho nerves connected with the organ were severed, the secretion ceased and the organ was not rchllcd.
 It thus appears that when Q fish de- seconds to greet depth, and his body is reduced in size by increased pressure of the water about him, he is able to attain his former sizc and rise by Gccrcting tho gas he needs and not by absorbing the water Support is thus given to the theory that the gaseous exchanges that occur in the lungs of animals are not purely physical.

The Show Business Carried to an Ex-
 treme by University students.
 There is a sentiment rapidly spread ing and taking root in the minds of the alumni of the different universities of this country antagonistic to the exces- sive amount of show business in which the students of American institutions of learning are permitted to indulge. The feeling, says the Buffalo Commer- cial, is growing that the only legitimate field for the exercise and exhibition of the physical, intellectual and musical accomplishments of these young men is to be found in the university athletic grounds, the university theaters and society halls. In other words, the alumni and large body of thoughtful people not directly connected with the various seats of learning are coming to an agreement that the college youth is altogether too much in evidence outside of the college yards, either for his own good or the legitimate prestige of his particular alma mater,
