to transfer a portion of the eX-
hibit of the Department of State at tie
Worlds Columbian Exposition to the

passed. The session closed with the
rabid passage of twenty-one pension
bills.
The House devoted all of its time to
the consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill with such success
that at the hour of adjournment it had
completed the reading of the bill, ex-
cept for several controverted para.
graphs, which were temporarily pass
ed over. A bill to provide for filling
vacancies in the grade of second lieu
tenant in the army and the recognition
of extraordinary gallantry and merit of
enlisted men was introduced by Rep
resentative Curtis. A bill was intro
duced by Mr.. Ray making it unlaw-
full for clerks of United States courts
to include in their emolument fees not
earned and due at the time their ac-
counts were rendered, and forbidding
the allowance of fees not actually
earned.

dria is patent to all familiar with the

is an absence of such trade 10 other

compelled to go or send elsewhere for

IF some sorts of wholesale business can
be conducted proGtably here, it stands
TO reason that other sorts can be also,
and besides. other sorts would, for
the reason stated, be helped by those
already here, and help them reciprocal

of the houses already established, could
act in a similar capacity for the new
ones. and so all be working for the

Nomenclature in tho Navy.

One result of tho radical changes in
naval architecture in recent years has
been to render confusing and made
quate the nomenclature which has
ruled aboardship since tho birth of the
first navy. Particularly misleading
were terms applied to designate tho
different decks of ship. A modern
ship has decks never known to vessels
of the old navy; whole decks intended
solely for protection against guntire,
partial decks that would not have
been possible to sailing craft, and
bridges, expanding into tho dimcn.
sions of actual decks, in parts of tho
ships. These have been christened
haphazara by the builders, the sailors,
and tho officers, and the result has
been n degree of confusion that is
hardly credible, making it very diff
cult for tho bureau officers OF the
Navy Department to know just what
part of the ship is referred to in the
reports which como in. To correct
this in measure Secretary Herbert
has issued circular prescribing in de-
tail the names to be applied to every
deck in the ship; and copies of this
circular have been sent to the officers
of every ship in tho service, and to
every constructor, with full instruc-
lions hereafter to use only the pre-.
scrIbed names on nil occasions. New

A Remarkable Snake Story.

Here is snake story from Tavarez,
Fla. The town has been invaded by a
great army Of rattlcsnakcs. No woman
or child dare venture out of doors.
The men only 80 out in tho daytime,
AMI then wearing thick leather leg.
gings renching above tho knee, and
armed with clubs to fight the rattlers.
Every dog in the place, and not n few
OF the horses and other domestic ami
mails, have been killed by the snakes.
Fortunately, none of the inhabitants
have been killed, but many are the
narrow escapes they have had. 1t is
reported that altogether 400 snakes
have been killed, aud their number
does not seem to be at all diminished.
The City Council has voted IN apDro.
priation for the determination of the
reptiles. 1t is not stated SO in the dis.
patch, but it would seem that tho
town must have been preparing for n
grand fishing excursion, aud had laid
in bait by the tank. 1t would be i'm.
possible otherwise to explain how the
whole community had such bad Mt
tack OF snakes. Certainly the season
has not produced another story to
equal it. New Orleans Picayune.

Mechanical Firc.Lighter.

ingenious device has been brough,
out i'll England. by the adoption o,
which the use of wood, paper, etc., il
starting fire is dispensed with. The
mechanical arrangement consists of e.
fan, driven by clock-wo1k mechan.
ism, which is wound up by crank.
Directly in front of the fan is the
blast-pipe and small open chamber,
which is filled with asbestos fibre,
soaked in pareline oil. The appara.
tus is enclosed in neat-fitting case
and so adjustable that. it can be plnced
in front of any coal CRATE. When sc
placed tho asbestos is lighted with n
match and the fan set in motion by Il
small lever. The blast of mir from the
fan drives a highly oxydizing flame in
to the fuel and causes it to burn
quickly. The igniter flame is allowed
to die out in a very short time, but
the fan continues to act rs a forced
draught, producing n good burning
fire in short time. There is no dan
ger from explosion, MS tho cavity fo,
holding tho oil is very small, and its
cost for lighting fifty fires would be

two men kept count. If men were
going into fight, it is quito possible
that tho chief might have told every
one of his followers to put pebble in
certain place and to remove it if he
came out of the action. OF course
tho dead and wounded were unable TO
do this, and SO might m estimate be
made of tho "dead, wounded and

one might be led to suppose that tho
Cairm might have originated in this
why. Mr.. Mooney quotes, too, Byrd,

and Byrd describes tho Indian process
