WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-No official
advices have reached the state de-
partment concerning the reported de-
struction of American mission prop
erty at Inghok, China 1t is believed
at the state department that the place
referred to is identical with Sui Hing,
where troubles were reported two days
ago, and this second dispatch really
relates to the same incident The act
ing secretary has received telegram
from Nashville, signed by the Southern
Methodist and Presbyterian mission
ary society officials, confirming the re-
port of the outrageous character of the
ku Cheng massacre and urging the
state department to protect the Amer
fcan missions in China. Mr.. Adee has
responded by telegraph that United
States Minister DENLY had already
taken the most vigorous measures to
secure the safety of Americans and
that renewed instructions to that end
had already been mailed to the min
lister. 1t is not doubted that Mr.. DENLY
is doing everything possible in these
disturbed conditions to care for the
missionaries, but there are some things
beyond his power to accomplish at this
| time. He has for many months, per-
Sonally and through the American con-
! suls in China, urged the missionaries
i to come down from the dangerous in
! terror posts to the treaty ports, repre-
| Senting to them that, no matter how
| inclined he might be to do SO, he could
/ not dispatch ships overland or up shall
low streams to protect them. Admiral
| Carpenter is also willing to do every
| thing proper toward cooperating with
| the minister and if he believes it to be
| prudent to send some Of his sailors
| and marines overland through a hos
tile country he is fully authorized by
| his instructions from the navy de-
! partment to do so.
The state department expects to Sc
| cure full and ample reparation and in
demnity for all injuries sustained by
Americans, and, indeed, Minister
Denly has already made a most vigor-
Gus demand on the Chinese govern
ment to that effect.

4 Curious and Uncomfortable Experience
With a Man Who HaIIooed.

With a Man Who HaIIooed.
"Once," said the retired burglar, II
looked from the upper hall of a house that
was in into a room that was so dark
that you literally couldn't see into 1t at
all. 1t seemed as if they must have had
the windows closed, the blinds shut and
the shades all down. 1t was blacker'n a
cave. l turned my light in around on the
floor to get the lay of things and get 'em
fixed in my mind so as not to stumble
over anything. Over by the bed 1 saw
chair and hanging down from it a pair of
trousers legs. Then, of course, l knew
there was a man in the bed, and that ID
was his clothes that were stacked up on
the chair there, l shut off my light and
started. 1 knew the way, and l went very
quietly, but when l got about half way
across the room the man in the bed began
to holler.
How he could see me l couldn't under,
stand. l couldn't see him at all, but ]
just halted and waited. He didn't holler
vety loud, though he was trying to hard,
but he was so scared that l was surprised
to hear him holler at all. 1t sounded as
though it was all he could do to catch his
breath. l was afraid he'd scare himself
to death right on the spot. 1 didn't dare
Dack out OF the room Tor fear 10 meet
somebody coming in. 1 thought 1 could
dodge 'em better after they got in, so l
just stood there in the middle of that dark
room, with hat man hollering the best he
could and l wishing 1 was somewhere else
and wondering what was going to turn up
well, sir, In about half a minute he
stopped hollering altogether, and for a
or two he did not breathe. Then
l was scared, but in about a minute more
he begun to snore. You seer He wasn't
scared at me. What he was scared at was
o nightmare. He didn't know l was there
all. But it was a mighty uncomfort-
able position to be in all the same, because,
course, he was just as likely to wake
up somebody hollerin in his sleep as he
would ha' been if he'd been wide awake.

MAGICAL eRowrH of pLANrs.
French Scientist Says 1t Can BE Brought
Out by Formio Acid.

Out by Formic Acid.
A French scientist, NJ. Ragonneau, has
Just discovered how to make q plant grow
from the seed in 30 minutes as much as It
would under ordinary circumstances in as
many days. Heretofore nature has shared
this secret with the Yoghis of India alone.
and the methods pursued by these clever
magiclans in performing this trick have
been often described. They plant q seed
In the earth and cover it with a cloth. In
a Few moments the cloth begins to be
pushed upward by the growing plant.
whlch, III a short time, attains the height
OF several feet. Various theories have been
advanced as to the modus operandi of this
miracle, one OF the latest being that the
spectators are all hypnotized by tho ma
gician.
During his travels in India M. Raron-
neau saw this trick performed frequently
noticed that the Hinduos ALWAYS i'm
bedded the seed soil which they brought
with them especially for that purpose. AT
last nc learned that they obtained this
Garth from ant hills. Now, as every one
knows who has inadvertently eaten one of
theso industrious insects, ants contain a
large proportion of formic acid, with which
IN time tho soil of their habitations be-
comes charged. This acid has the power
OF quickly dissolving the integument sur
rounding a seed and Of greatly stimulating
the growth of the germ within.
AFTER a little experimenting with this
acid the learned Frenohman was able to
duplicate perfectly the Hindoo trick. His
further researches have led him to believe
that this discovery may be prohtably ap-
Piled to agriculture. BY infusing ants in
boiling water acid as strong as vinegar can
be obtained. NJ. Ragonneau has achieved
the best results and most perfect growth
by using earth moistened with a solution
of 5000 parts of water to one of acid

relatives. were members in England.

Maurice Baillarge, bartender at Giroux'

that he had wealthy relatives. Last
night he called in DR.. Folsom, but Cor

death, but he was heavy drinkef.
Judge Morgan said: Several years ago

very deeply affected and bursting into

in the center. This lends itself to decor
alton far more effect lively than one would
think. pretty way of arranging it is
to use O square block of ice with ferns
frozen to the sides of the block as Dor
der. Sprays OF pink wild roses with their
green leaves are charming to fill out the
chseled center of the block. Small in.
dividual blocks of ice with the frozen

for serving ices.
Conversation lunches are not TO be de-

placed the menu, with topic OF conver;
satlun written beside each course. All
conversation except pertaining. to the
special subject Is forbidden. and in many
cases this restriction in itself makes the
luncheon merry affair. At a recent con-
versation luncheon the subjects chosen
for discussion were as follows: WIN the
