lowing report:
''The naval veterans of the port of New

plans for a naval observance of Memorial
day on May 30, 1896. 1t is proposed tu

proposal, semi-oficially conveyed, is un-
derstood to have occupied the attention
of Japanese ministers of state for several
weeks past. 1t may have direct bearing
upon the adjustment of the Corean prob

No definite intelligence from the mis-
sionaries confined at Cheng-tu has been
received. Whether the telegraph lines in
the interior of SEE Chaun province are
really broken Or their use is prohibited
by the local authorities, it is certain that
no dispatches can be transmitted. A re-
port is circulated that the mem bers of the
American Baptist mission have escaped
to Chung King, and confirmation of this
news is eagerly awaited. The apathy of
the tsung-li-yamen in responding to the
appeals of the foreign ENJOYS for imme-
diate action, has compelled the repre-
sentative OF France to take a decided step.
By his orders four French ships of war
have started up the Yang-tse river with

stration at Nanking and to porceed to

About 80 years ago an ingenious ply
stefan of an inquiring turn of mind was
struck with the idea that if electricity
was good for feeble people it might
be equally good for feeble plants. A
row of ovorgreens had been put out on
his grounds some time before and it oc-
CURED to him that as there We're a couple
of his best tsees in an exceedingly frail
state of health here was good chance
to test his theory. He accordingly con.
nected wire from battery with the
roots of one of the trees turned on q
very mild current and watched the re-
suits. In short time the leaves, which
had begun to turn yellow, took on a
lively shade of green, new shoots started
out, and the tree that had been given
up by the gardener as past saving was
soon the most flOurishing one of the
row and before long outstripped its
fellows in beauty and luxuriance Of
growth. These experiments in this di.
rection came to an end by the death OF
the doctor, and thus much that might
have been of great service to the garden
er and the florist remained undeveloped.

This subject has been somewhat close
ly studied by Professor Klossovsky, di-
rector of the observatory at Odessa. who
has published a paper on the annual
distribution Of thunderstorms over the
globe
| His observations show that high
temperature, a certain degree of humid
| ity and considerable amount of rain
fall are the chief agents favoring the
developments of thundcrstoIms. a col
ored map which accompanies Professor
| Klossovsky's paper shows the existence
Of a zone of electric activity of great in
tensity ON both sides Of tho equator,
and this is also the zone of greatest rain
fall The zone is divided into three sec
tions, the first embracing Asia and
Oceania, Indo-China and the Sunda
isles to New Guinea. Over this zone
the yearly average of thunderstorms is
30 to 100. The second zone starts from
the west coast of Africa between D and
10 degrees north latitude and D degrees
TO 10 degrees south latitude, while the
third zone comprises the tropical regions
Of America between 20 degrees and 20
degrees north latitude, where the mean
annual number Of storms exceeds 100
To the north Of this zone, which is
termed the electric equator, the storms
decrease in number until the deserts of
Africa, Egypt, Persia and central Asia
are reached, where the rainfall is scanty
and thunderstorms rare. To the north
of the zone of deserts, especially over
the continents of Europe and Asia, the
electric activity is somewhat increased
The data collected from the high lati-
tudes of the southern hemisphere refer
principally to the Falkland islands,
where the average number Of storms is
only four

In AN interview at San Francis
co, Irving NJ. Scott speaks of chol'
era in Japan. Besides the correct
figures, from official sources, Mr..
Scott presents two very important
facts. He says: The effective
manner in which the Japanese are
stamping it out would do credit to
countries Of more pretensions.
Every place in the route of public
travel was thoroughly fumigated
and police inspectors inspected
every passenger boarding or leaving
a train, and also inspected each cal
at every station. Every passenger
with a symptom of stomach disor-
der was taken into the custody Of
the police and retained until he re-
covered or died. If the latter, all
his effects were burned. In twenty
two years but four Americans have
died in Japan of Asiatic cholera,
and they were OF very low class.
Danger for foreigners of Clearly
habits and careful diet does not eX-

September 24th were 47,769, and
deaths 80, $50.

THE Discrimination Of either Re
publicans or Democrats in the
United States to 'get together
within their own parties is ii
strange contrast to negotiations be-
tween leaders of the two great
political organizations. Gormar
and Brice, Democratic senators and
leaders have made as a politica
proposition to Senator Aldrich, Re-
publican, and a deal that will shape
legislation is likely outcome. The
Democrats suggest an additional tax
of 81 barrel on beer and revival
of the tax on bank checks as means
of raising revenue. To secure
these the Democrats are willing to
agree to Republican amendments
to the Wilson tariff act and to Re
publican currency legislation. The
Republicans SO far reply that the
extra beer tax must be on imported
brews alone, that they can direct
financial legislation anyhow and
that no agreement is necessary &c
effect changes in the wool and
mineral schedules of the tariff.
