MORE BRITISH AGGRESSION.

That interview with Father Barnham,
published in the tclegraphic news to-day,
disclOses a peculiar state of affairs in
Alaska, which Mr.. Cleveland might well
ponder while engaged in the reverie-pro-
voking occupation Of bass fishing.
If, as Father Barnham asserts, Brit
ish surveying party is running boundary
lines between British and United States
territory after the fashion adopted by
Great Britain in Venezuela, the performance
cannot fail TO interest every citizen Of the
United States, not excepting the Presi-
dent. The money value of the territory,
which is about to be stolen, according 10
Father Barnham, may not be great, but
even ice fields and bears and arctic birds
must not be taken from Uncle Sam by de-
liberate theft without a protest. Mr..
Cleveland is positively magnificent when
he is rigbting great wrongs upon foreign
soil, and he should not be less enthusiastic
when diplomatic chickens come home
to roost -. ....
II is a fact which constantly increases
the solemnity of solemn citizens that there
are only a few countries left which have
not trodden with the utmost impunity
upon the corns of Brother Jonathan. Let's
have the old Russian boundary line estab-
lished, or else echo in new form the slogan
which has more than once led to the de-
horning of Johnny Bull.

DON'T TAKE TO WATER.
Ducks Brought Up in Paris and Never
Learned to Swim.

Hydrophobic ducks may seem bit
strange, hut writer in the Revue Scien-
tifique tells OF sreh. These were not mad
ducks, but merely ducks that hated what
people have come TO consider their natural
element There were three of them, and
they had lived some years in Paris, where
they had small basin nd their daily bath.
Their owner finally took them to the country
to live beside fine lake, thinking 1t the ideal
place for the amphibious. What was his
surprise on putting them into the lake, to
see them instantly scramble ashore, and
waddle Indian file to q Eeighboring stable,
whence they never came out, save to feed
Never could they be induced 10 remain in
the water save by force or fear, and when
there they always drew close together, SO
as to occupy no more space thar that OF
their bath basin at Paris. They were thor
oughly afraid. of the lake, and they never
became used to it.
In Picardy lit seems. young ducks areoften
kept from the water in order to protect
them from water rats, and prevent them
from eating things that might injure their
flavor when they appear upon the table,

Gossip Of th0 DAY.

1T doesn't look as If the fire engines run
as fast here as they do in other cities, but
1 suppose there is little difference in
speed" Thcspea ker W as a nonresident who
was standing in front of his hotel last even
ing as en- engine and the hook and ladder
truck tore by with the speed of a we'll
developed hurricane.
Il believe 1 just row see why il is.
It's deception, for surely an engine never
got out OF sight quicker than that one. 1t
is because OF the smooth asphalt streets
The thing moves along with such a COM
parative lack of noise that its speed is not
realized. There. listen; they have struck
the rough cobblestone of the Tenth street
hill, and II now sounds like they are going
at a terrific speed. That accounts for it,
One would think from hearing that noise
the engine was going twice as fast
A rare exhibition of nerve was witnessed
by Policeman Hutchinson, whose post is at
the street railway transfer station corner
OF Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue.
An aged colored man attempted to cross
Seventh street in front of the cast end of
the Center Market.
Just as ne Fcacneu tne railway track
cable train came bowling along. The old
fellow had reached the center of the track,
when the safety fender on the front of the
grip car pic ked the negro up and seated him
comfortably ia the netting.
The car did not stop until the transfer
station was reached. when the colored man
gathered himself together. and, climbing
out of the fender, made a bec-line with tho
passengers for the station. Approaching
the transfer agent with outstretched hand,
he said:

A SMOKY SUBJECT.

One is led to wonder what new and
unique phenomena may not be produced
in dog g-days. when one hears OF the order
described in our news columns. issued to
employees upon the Ninth street cars TO
SGT apart the Two front eeats of each car for
the use OF those who wish to puff en- route
their cigars or pipes or cigarettes.
This is an order which concerns every
patron OF the line and Is co curious that an
explanation of it would be comforting
The Times has not heard of any widespread
demand from either women or men who
do or do not themselves use the weed for
a regulation which will result in tobacco
smoke OF every imaginable breed being
blown from mouths of every imaginable
Perfume into their eyes and nostrils when
ever a smoker occupies seat in the car.
Less offensive acts than this order have
led to wars which caused thrones to topple
and have brought into constant use the ak
of tile executioner; but the mogul of the
street railway is omnipotent, in his own
esteem. He bestrides the narrow world
like colossus, and the poor public must
crawl between his legs.

A Russian geograpber is said to be pre-
pairing an atlas on an entirely new princi-
pie. The places on the map VIII be put
down, not according to actual distance
from a standard point, but according to
the cost OF transportation. New York,
for instance, will be nearer London than
Rochester, in Kent, as it costs less to ship
goods across the Atlantic than to send them
twenty-eight miles by rail to London.
The New century Historical Society, oil
Marietta. Ohio, is one of the many patri-
otic organizations which We're brought into
existence as a result of the patriotism
awakened by the Philadelphia Centennial
Exhibition. Realizing that Marietta ts
rich in historic associations which should
not be allowed to die out, this society has
SO far erected five memorial stones in that
city. One marks the spot on which stock
ade. erected during the French and Indian
war, stood. A second marks the site of
Fort Harmar; still another the spot ON which
Gen. Arthur st. Clair was inaugurated gov
ernor of the Territory; a fourth designates
the portion OF the river bank where forty
eight pioneers landed in 1888, and a fifth
stone commentaries the landing of the pio
neer families of the Ohio Company.
II is well known that the thickness of
the layer OF fine sand in filteriny beds can
not be reduced beyond a certain point
without endangering the quality of the
water that filters through. DR.. Kurth, of
Bremen, has found in examining water fill
tered through a layer not sufficiently thick
that the number OF bacteria was greatly
increased owing to the presence of q special
microbc that could not be found in the water
before II entered the litter. These microbes
must, therefore, have existed in the filter
ing material and have been developed by the
passage of water through it,
