Great Britain Takes n Hand.
The British foreign office has also had its
attention called to the recent depredations
in Louisiana, and has asked the British
embassy at Washington to investigate.
The complaint was made to the foreign
office by the steamship I4loyds, because Of
the firing on British ships, presumably by
incendiaries. as a result of the racial
troubles.
The British authorities are rot disposed
to protest SO long as the depredations are
not specially directed against British SUBJ
jects, as they say they do not expect, under
the treaty, any greater protection than
that afforded to Americans. The wounding
of Purser Balm of the British ship Engi-
neer today has not yet been reported to

ruary 10, says:
The authors protest against the misrepre-
sentations and fears which are scattered
through the newspapers that tuberculosis
exists in cattle in America to an enormous
degree, and also that pleuro-pneumonia is
still more prevalent. and that the Ameri-
can stock raisers are forced on this account
TO snip their cattle to Europe at a merely
nominal price.
In Hamburg from the year 1889 to the
present time there were in all 7IO4 and in
other German cities altogether 01S import
eu cattle slaughtered. These animals were
subjected to careful veterinary inspec-
tlcn, not only before being slaughtered but
atterward as well.

wheat Advances Two Cents.

CHICAGO, March 12-Wheat opened with
wild jump today at 2 cents over last
nights closing prices. Everybody on the

time offerings were very scarce but Pard-
ridges people poured stuff into the pit until
the edge was taken off the bull appetite
and a moderate reaction followed. The
strength came from the government report
issued last night. May opened at 561saJ6ss,
sold down to 56ls and reacted to 561a.

Glass Bricks and Glass Cloth.

In these days Of paper boats and pa
per wheels it is hardly surprising that
bricks of glass should be employed.
Such bricks, recently manufactured in
Silesia for the walls and roofs of win
ter gardens and plant houses, are made
hollow, about one-third of the entire
cubical content Of each brick being oc-
cupied by chamber filled with rare
fed air.
The purpose Of this contrivance is to
prevent the too rapid passage of heat
between the interior and exterior of the
wall, the inclosed air being a poor con-
ductor Of heat.
The bricks are firmly united by &C.
ment, and thus the possibility Of con-
structing q glass house without the en-
ployment of a skeleton of iron, as in
the Crystal palace Of London, is proved.
Glass cloth seems far more difficult
thing to make than glass bricks, yet it
was brought into practical use as long
as half century ago. Being spun into
threads Of exceeding fineness, glass can
be woven like cotton or silk One Of
the most common uses for glass cloth
today is in the making of filters for lab
oratories
There is one advantage, at least, that
we should enjoy if glass garments ever
came into use, and that is that the
grease spot evil would be abolished for
ever. Youths Companion.

journal has recently stated, the ordi

square. The same journal goes on
to say that the savages OF Dahomey
announce their visits to each other
by wooden board or the branch of
a tree artisticaly carved. This is
sent on in advance, and the visitor,
on taking leave, pockets his card,
which probably serves him for many
years. The natives OF Sumatra
also have visiting card, consisting

London Tit-bits offered a prize for

A certain politician, lately con-
demning the government for their
recent policy concerning the income
tax, is reported to have said: "Thev'll

that lays the golden eggs until they

An Irishman in the midst of TRADE

clared that "it these men were landed

writing, 1--WE have two school rooms
sufficiently large to accommodate
800 pupils, one above the other" In

which seem to be more frequent than
any others, we find this: Two young
