MEXICAN NEWS.

City OF Mexico, Dec 10.-Corgress
will prolong its present session be-
yond the 18th instant, the customary
date for closing Its autumn session,
in order TO have ample time TO dis
cuss the vice presidential bill, which
eontemplates constitutional amend
ment. Public sentiment favors the
bill, as the present status of success
sion to the presidency is regarded as
perilous and not Offering guarantees
to public order.
Gene ri Rincon Gallargo, governor
of the federal district, in view of the
many accidents to bicyclists in the
public streets, will issue new reg
ulation governing the coachmen,
stopping fast driving and modelling
the system on that of London.
President Raoul OF the Mexican
National railway in an interview
says his company has no intention,
all rumors to the contrary, TO change
the gauge to standard. The extra
capital required for such change
would be great, and the additional
traffic to De secured would not COM
pensate for the outlay. These
changes, when they do come, are
usually suddenly made, but there is
no immediate necessity.
The new amnesty law covering
the past offenses for dueling has
only a retroactive effect, and the
law will hereafter be strictly enfore-
ed. 1t was considered only right to
cover past offenses by a general
pardon.

TEXAS CATTLE QUARANTINE

Washington, Dec. 10.-Representa-

q. ". Sampson of the Fert Worth
Stock Yards company, called this
morning upon Secretary Morton to
ask that he suspend the operation OF
that section OF the general quaran-
tine law, which prevents the expor-
ton of all live stock from Texas.
This section IS obsolete and is a
remnant of the old superstition that
Texas fever was peculiar to the State
and infested all of its cattle. Texas
stockInen desire now to ship their
live cattle direct from Galveston

on the secretary. Mr.. Morton pro-

The republicans took the
position that Mr.. Bayard's
speech constituted all offense
against the country that called
for "A stern rebuke, if not recall.
The democrats took sthe pos

Those who took part in the
debate were Messrs Barrett,

publicans, and Crisp of Geor-

Money of Mississippi and
Turner of Georgia, democrats.
Mr.. Hit of Illinois, who will
be chairman of foreign affairs

Mr.. Crisp moved to refer the
resolution to the Judiciary COM

a strict party vote, 80 to 207,
the democrats contenting them
selves with simply voting viva
voce against the resolution,
which was adopted without di

Mr.. Barrett took the floor to
make his argument in favor of
the adoption of his resolution.
Ne contended that Mr.. Bayard's
atterancer from a public seq

policy and were intended to
aggrandize his party, net his

parallel between the case of
Mr.. Bayard and that of Martin

robson sumac and Poison ivy.

There is difference in the general
appearance Of the plants, both as TO
stalks and foliage, by which the poison
Gus and the harmless varieties of the
sumac can be distinguished from each
other, writes Eben E. Rexford in The
Ladies Home Journal. The former has
light colored stalks frequently blotched
with white or gray, and the foliage is
thin and firm in texture, with 4 glossy
surface, while the latter has a soft,
thick leaf, brown stalk, hairy in the
early stages Of the new growth, and is
Of much stronger habit, often becom-
ing quite tree. This variety bears fruit
thickly covered with crimson hairs i'll
spiky, terminal punches, while the poi
sonous variety has berries of a greenish
white-very similar in size and color to
those Of the poison ivy--in loose, pend
ent clusters, along the upper part of the
branches.
The harmless rhus is almost always
found on the uplands and in open places,
while the poisonous sort prefers moist
ground and shade. The former takes on
q most beautiful variegation in fall, its
pinnate, palmate foliage turning to red,
scarlet and maroon of exceedingly rich
and brilliant shades, while the latter
becomes pa' g yellow. This poisonous
variety is most dangerous plant 1t is
worse than the poison ivy by far. Many
persons caunot pass near it without be-
ing affected, as if they had really han

A campflre of Fossil Wood.

Our fire was made Of fossil wood gath
cred ON the beach. This wood is found
scattered or in wave washed windows
all about the bay where the shores are
low enough for it to rest. 1t also occurs
in abundance in many Of the ravines and
gorges, and in roughly stratilied beds OF
moraine material, some of which are
more than 900 feet in thickness. The
bed rocks on which these deposits rest
are scored and polished by glacial action,
like all the rocks hereabouts up to at
least 5000 feet above the sea. The tim
Der is mostly in the form Of broken
trunks of the Merten, Patton and Men
zies spruce, the largest sections being 20
to 80 feet long, and from to 3 feet in
diameter, some Of them with the bark
on, sound and tough.
1t appears therefore that these shores
were, century or so ago, as generously
forested as those of the adjacent bays
and inlets are today; though, strange to
say, not one tree is left standing, with
the exception of few on mountain tops

ceived the countess very graciously, re-
moved the ban and declared that i'll fu

that he would be Every lenient. =" On
the completion of "The Kingdom Of

TIMBER PRESERVATION.
Fres Access OF Air to Woodwork Neces
sary to Prevent Decay.

Fres Access OF Air to Woodwork Neces-
sary to Prevent Decay.
Probably no better Illustration can be
had, oven at the present time, OF the
great Importance of free access of air to
woodwork as means of protection
against premature decay than tho results
of an investigation, conducted few
wears ago, into the causes of an accident
in an expensive apartment house III one
of the principal cities of the United
States, in which a portion OF one OF the
upper floors gave way, and, in falling,
carried along corresponding sections OF
the several floors below, landing the
whole mass of wreckage in the cellar.
It was found that a fortunately unusual
system of floor construction had been
adopted in the building III question, the
spaces between the wooden beams hay
ing been filled with ashes, presumably
with the view of making comparative
" fireproof structure.
Whatever its merits III this respect
may have been, there was no question
whatever that the mixture of ashes
formed most efficient barrier against
the access of air to the timberS, and
any moisture that was inherently in
them or afterwud found its way to
them through the tiling above had little
opportunity of being carried away by
any yentilating air currents. The beams
simply had to rot, and that COMPARE
lively quickly. In the subsequent work
OF reconstruction of the floors, however,
good care was taken that they should
not again suffer in the same way.
Mill architects generally appreciate
the preserving influence of free air cir
culation so thoroughly that they care
fully guard against even the painting Of
any floor beams which are open to the
suspicion Of imperfect seasoning. Where
any moisture is still present i'll the wood
a coat of paint or tar or anything else
impervious to air, ordinarily looked
upon as protective agent, simply pre-
vents this moisture from escaping, and
thus, instead of guarding against rapid
decay, really promotes it to very ma
terial degree Happily this circumstance
is becoming properly recognized and is
beginning TO receive q due share of at
tention. Magazine.

A Playground Made r Lake.

One of the features of the Berlin In
dustrial exposition of next year will be
the beauty of the grounds. One of the
most interesting changes now taking
place is the transformation of the great
Fairgrounds III Treptow park into a
lake. About $4,000 cubic meters of
earth will have to be removed, and
workmen are now engaged in building
the embankment. A promenade, shaded
by four rows Of plantain trees, already
encircles the proposed lake Powerful
engines will supply the water, which
will fall i'll great cascades into the lake,
and then flow into the river Spree. Con
dolas will ply in the basin and the
neighboring waterways. Artistic restau-
rants and music halls will border the
boulevard, the whole making u scene
which, it is expected, will rival III
beauty anything ever offered for public
enjoyment at any Worlds fair.
One curious feature of this improve
ment is found in the fact that Treptow
mark must be restored to its original
condition when the exposition is over.

Old Samoan Ways.

The Sanoans are physically SPLEEN
didly made race Of a deep bronze color
Their hair is naturally black but is
converted by frequent dressings Of lime,
which have IA bleaching effect, to dull
reddish tint. This custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their
arms and chests are specially well devel-
oped from their habit OF padding long
distances in their canoes from island to
islapd-in fact, at so great distances
from the mainland were these natives
seen by carly travellers, that this group
was christened the Navigator islands.
At this time, too, travellers reported that
the Samoans Wore fine black skeins
reaching from the waist to short dis
lance above the knee. This report,
though without foundation in fact, was
due to the custom possessed by these
people of tattooing themselves after that
fashion, covering about the same part
of the body as would pair of our bath
ing drawers.
All the men are thus tattooed on ar
irving at maturity, and are not allowed
TO take unto themselves wives before
the painful process is complete Regular
professional tattooers are found among
the people, and the tattooing often &C.
cupies some months, as the patient only
undergoes as much as he can bear at
each operation. The designs tattooed
are very ancient, and the present gener-
ations are entirely ignorant Of their sig

to the words of their rowing songs,
which they sing in perfect harmony and
in time to their oars or paddles; the
words sung are now obsolete, and, like
the tattooed designs, are not understood
