Want international Conferences.

Washington. May 9-Prominent
democrats are said to want an inter-
national bimetallic conference. They
are urging President Cleveland to lend
himself to a movement to secure that
conference. They argue that no harm
can possibly come from such confer
ence and that much good will result
from it. The idea would be to have the
call or invitation Tor the conference is
sued some time in the fall, the confer
ence itself to be held the middle of next
spring.

Milwaukee, May 9.-The seventh an

the American Protective association
began this morning in Liberty hall. The
delegates number in the vicinity Of 400,
and the greatest interest seems to pre-
vail The order is now semi-political,
and it has exerted it's influence in con-
ventions and at the ballot box. Some Of
its members favor coalition with any
of the existing political parties which
will come out openly and advocate the
principles of the American Protective
association, Another faction would
have a separate political party on a
strictly American Protective associa-
tion platform. Still another wing of the
association favors publicity and would
do away with all secret work. It is all
SO limited that the free silver question
may cut figure during the session.

Took the Whole Day.

The other day we'll known plumber
of this city was called over the tele.
phone to come in haste to a certain res
idence on Peachtree street. When he ar
rived there, he was confronted by the
lady Of the house, we'll known leader
in the social set, who told him that
there was freeze up in the water pipes
somewhere which she wanted him to
undo for her so that she could get at
the water. The plumber went to work
and investigated the house from top to
bottom, spending the entire day in the
search for the frozen part Of the pipe.
He finally came down and told the lady
that he was of the opinion that the
pipes were all right and that there was
no freeze out anywhere.
pardon me, madam, said he, "and
don't think me iwpertinent, but did
you pay yosx Water bill the first Of the
month";"
The lady of the house was thunder
struck. She remembered that she had
not paid the water bill; that it had gone

lies the freeze out Your water supply
has been cut off by the water man"

The New Cup Defender Must Be Swift or

British designers have achieved sud-
den jump in the science of yacht build

taken in the regularly improving series
Of champions sent to us heretofore. The

superstition only, and our calculations
show that our coming defender must
also make bigger stride beyond it's
predecessor than Mayflower, Volunteer

It would be as queer as it would be
Interesting if this time, in accordance
with the Ailsa's indications and the ru-
mors about our boat, the foreigner
should be the broader beamed. This
new English model, while it has but
four feet more of length than the Gala

How a Fish Comes to the Surface.

A curious physiological discovery has
been made by Professor Bohr of Copen-
hagen in regard to the mode of storage
by which fish accumulates so much
oxygen in the air that distends the swim
ming or air bladder.
The air contained therein has per-
centage of oxygen that may rise to as
much as IS, an amount much in excess
Of the percentage in atmospheric air.
Professor Bohr tapped the air bladders
of Goldfish and drew off the gas by means
Of trocar and alright syringe. The
gas had SO per cent Of oxygen. In few
hours the air bladder was refilled, ap-
parently by a process of secretion of gas
from the blood in the capillaries on the
wall of the bladder In one experiment
the gas thus secreted had 80 per cent of
oxygen. When the nerves connected
with the organ were severed, the secre-
tion ceased and the organ was not refill
ed.
It thus appears that when a fish de-
sends to great depth, and his body is
reduced in size by increased pressure of
the water about him, he is able to attain
his former size and rise by secreting the
gas he needs and not by absorbing it
from the water. Support is thus given
to the theory tEat the gaseous exchanges
that occur in the lungs of animals are
not purely physical. baltimore Sun.

Uncle Sans Offers For Cuba

1t is not forgotten that General Grant
while president was very anxious to
buy Cuba, nor is it forgotten that two
distinct propositions for the purchase OF
that island have been made by the Unit
ed States, one for the sum Of 81, 600, 600
in 1848 and the other for $50, 900, 600
ten years later. Throughout the United
States, and especially on the Atlantic
seaboard and in the south, there is a
deep and sincere sympathy with the ef-
forts of the people of Cuba to emanci.
pate themselves from Spanish control.

They Knew Each Other Only Three Days

stare of Georges left optic. The couple
went to housekeeping at 81 Hope street.
There was decidedly dramatic scene
when the young wife discovered the de-
ception. She found the glass eye on the
bureau, and, awakening her husband,
asked what it was. Then she saw his
sunken eyeless socket, and before he
could explain her cries brought in the

she came to, George again tried to ex-

back to live with her aunt, Mrs. Cas-

When the prisoner was asked for an
explanation, he said: "Your honor. as
soon as my wife found out that I had q

Facts About Alfalfa.

Alfalfa had best be sown early in the
spring if the soil is in good condition.
There is danger of injury from hard
freezing. Alfalfa has done better in the
dry regions of the west, often ON sandy
soil, than it has east of the Mississippi
river. 1t thrives best where it can be
irrigated, but there seems no good rea-
son why it should not thrive fairly we'll
on sandy soil in northern Illinois. From
10 to 20 pounds of seed per acre are ad-
vised to be sown.
Better success may be expected if the
seed is sown alone rather than with a
nurse or grain crop. While when we'll
established the plants are hardy and
continue to grow for series of years,
there has often been difficulty in secur-
ing q satisfactory stand and growth
the first year. The young plants are in
jured by severe cold. It should not be
pastured, at least not closely, the first
season. s.
This alfalfa is of very great value in
much of the drier part Of the country.
On the other hand, while it has been
tried in multitude of cases in the Mis-
sissippi valley and farther east, it has
not come into general use east of the
Mississippi and rarely east of the Mis-
