Frances Revolutionary Greatness.

1t is impossible to estimate the enor-
nous sums of money which Bonaparte ex-
acted for the conduct of war that he
chose to say was carried on to emancipate
Italy. The soldiers of his army were well
dressed, well fed and well equipped from
the day of their entry into Milan. The ar
rears of their pay were not only settled,
but they were given license to prey on the
country until point was reached which
seemed to jeopardize success, when COM
mon pillage was promptly stopped by the
severest examples. The treasury of the di-
rectory was not filled as were those of the
conquering ofIisers, but it was no longer
empty. In short, France reached the apex
of her revolutionary greatness, and as she
was now the foremost power on the CONT
nent the shaky monarchies in neighboring
lands were forced to consider again ques-
tons which in 1895 they had hoped were
settled As Bonaparte foresaw, the dcsti-
mics of Europe had indeed hung on the fate
of Italy.-Professor sloane's Life OF Ma

THE CASE DROPPED.
Western Bank Note Co. and Mississippi War.
rant Case Not Pushed.

Washington, April Is Secretary Car
Isle has directed that tho prosecution
against the Western Bank Note Company
of Chicago. for printing Mississippi state
warrants, be discontinued. This action
is taken upon the recommendation of
United States District Attorney Black,
and concurred in by Attorney General
Olncy, and also because the company has
discontinued printing the warrants and
mutiatcd the plates. The company will
have to pay the costs.
Some six months ago. the state of Missis-
sippi undertook TO issue warrants that
passes as money. The money was seized
by Secret Service Chief Hazen. and Gov
ernor Stone and other State officials were
arrested for violating the law, which re-
stricts to the United States the authority
to issue money or sanction its use. The
state authorities resisted the contention.
There are several suits now pending in
ST Louis, Cincinnati, end Jackson, Miss,
rising out of this case. both against state
officials and those who printed tho war
rants and passed them. All these cases
will probably be dropped.

QUARRYlNG WITH FIRE CHISELS.
Thirty Pounds of Stone Broken Up by One
Pound of Wood.

At Bangalore, in southern India, the
quarrying of granite slabs by means of
wood fire has been brought to such perfcc-
ton that an account Of the method is in
teresting. The rock forms solid masses
uninterrupted by cracks for several hun
drcds of feet, and when quarried over an
area is treated as follows: A narrow line
of wood fire, perhaps seven feet long, is
gradually elongated and at the same time
moved forward over the tolerably even sur
face of solid rock. The line of fire is pro-
duced by dry logs of light wood, which
have been left burning in their position
until strokes with q hammer indicate that
the rCck in front of the fire has become
detached from the main mass underneath
The burning wood is then pushed forward
a few inches and left until the hammer
again indicates that the slit has extended
Thus tho fire is moved on, and at the
same time the length of the line Of fire is
increased and made TO be convex on the
side of the fresh rock, the maximum length
of the arc amounting to about 25 feet. 1t
is only on this advancing line of fire that
any heating takes place, the portion which
has been traveTsed being left to itself
This latter portion is covered with the
dSHeS ieIt by tne Wooc ana WIN tnln SPIN
tiers which have been burst off. These
splintors are only of about one-eighth Of
an inch in thickness and q few inches
across. They are quite independent of the
general splitting of the rock, which is all
the time going on at depth of about five
inches from the surface.
The burning lasts eight hours, and the
line of fire advances at the average rate of
nearly six feet an hour. The area actually
passed over by the line of fire is AGO square
feet, but as the crack extends about three
feet on either side beyond the fire the area
of the entire slab which is set free meas
uros about 740 square feet. All this is
done with, maybe, about Is hundrcdweight
of wood Taking the average thickness
of the stone at 5 inches ard its specific
gravity as 2.62, the result is 30 pounds of
stone quarricd with one pound of wood

GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.

A Valuable History Written by Dying
Man. = Proper Nourishment Enabled
the Author TO Live Until the Compile
ton of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
in writing the second volume of his per-
sonal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field OF
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking of his fathers
last illness, says
"During the last four months OF his
sickness, the principal food of my father,
Gen. Grant, was Bovinine and milk; and
it was the use OF this Incompatible food
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs.
DR.. T. II. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi-
clan and friend, cordially Endorsed the
above statement.
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it
has done, and is now doing, for thousands
every day. 1t is the most wonderful con-
centration into small bulk of all the
lifc-giVing, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ing clements Of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced.
It is in no way medicine, simply
food invigorant, that by its strengthening
qualities gives the worn-out or d.sordered
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natu-
raj functions.
1t is Endorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere, and blessed by thousands
whose lives it has actually saved.
To neglect to use this wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases,
overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or
for weak infants, chronic invalids, loss OF
vitality in old age, is to throw away ona
OF the greatest chances of saving life.

"A Profitable Vase.

woman in charge to handle and examine Il
certain vase, the price of which was stated
to be IS francs. No sooner had she put her
hand on the vase than it broke into half a
dozen pieces.

francs" explained the American shopper.

and she spoke very little French. While
she hcstated an officer was called, and she
was placed under arrest. The next day a
justice of the peace condemned her to pay

around the stomach or forcing q passage

for better or for worse. Here it must be di-
gested,-that is to say, changed. liqueHed and
assorted for assimilation;-or, failing that, il
must lie here and rot, generating poisonous
principles which enter the blood and set up a
diseased action throughout the system. This
is indigestion or dyspepsia,-the condition

A ROMAN TRIUMPH.
Tie Way In Which a Victorious General
Was Ronored.

In ancient Rome "a triumph was an hon.
or awarded to generals for decisive battles
over foreign enemies. 1t was never grant
ed for victories achieved in civil war The
power of granting triumph rested with
the senate, and it was prime condition
that the victorious general on his return
from war should not enter the city until
the triumphal procession should escort
him.
This procession was headed by the mag
istratcs and the senate. Then came the
trumpetcrs, who were followed by the
spoils, which included arms, statutes,
standards and representations of battles
and of the towns, rivers and mountains of
the conquered country. Next came the VIC
tins intended for sacrifice. As rule
these victims were white oxen with glded
horns. They We're followed by the prison.
ers that had been kept to grace the tri-
umph, and after the prisoners came the
chariot in which was seated the trium-
phator or victorious general.
The chariot was covered with laurel,
and the triumphator was attired in robe
of purple and gold. In his right hand he
held laurel branch and in his left an
ivory scepter. A slave held the golden
crown of Jupiter above his head and kept
saying to him:
''In the midst of all thy glory, victorious
one, remember that thou art but mortal
man"
Last came the soldiers singing songs
and shouting so triumphe!'
This procession started from the Cam
pus Martius, outside the city walls, and
passed through the city to the capitol.
Triumph days were gala days in Rome.
The streets We're gay with garlands and
gorgeous colors and the temples were all
thrown open.
When the procession reached the temple
of Jupiter on the capitol, the triumphator
placed the laurel branch on the lap of tho
figure of Jupiter, the prisoners We're put
to death, and thank offerings We're made.
A feast prepared for the magistrates and
the senate and sometimes for the soldiers
and tho people concluded the triumph fes-
tivitics
Tho triumph must have been much
coveted honor, for we are told that Lucul-
lus on his return from Asia waited outside
of Rome three years for his.-Philadclphia

coRRoslons OF METALS.
Sea Water at Various Places Has iiner-

Tn an article on the corrosion OF metals

n;ene the u, ..resticn is made that the not

ING some particular harbor, may give rise

American engineers in the Norfolh ro;las
for a period of three moEths were naaiy
corroded at the end OF THAI time. On the
other hand, experiments made IN france
showed that commercial aluminium was
practically unattached by sea water, ana
in one instance two aluminium plates
fixed to the bottom of a French saii1E3
ship were found practically unlnJureu ant
er q voyage round the world.
NJ. Baucher therefore determined to OK
anime sea water obtained from different
localities. The amount of salts contained
in sea water varies from 1914 parts per
/, 200 in the Atlantic ocean to as much as
4O.7 parts per l, 900 near MarSeilles. Hence
if introduced into boilers the Mcditcrra-
mean water is more likely to cause damage
than ocean water. Near estuarics and the
shore line generally a considerable proper
ton of nitrates are found, arising from fer
menting organic matter. Toulon is espe-
cially badly off in this respect, as the tidal
range is very small. Experiments made
with shore water and deep sea water show
the former to attack metal plates much
more rapidly. If, however, the shore wa
ter is sterilizcd by boiling its destructive
properties are, NJ. Baucher states, much
reduced, thus showing the increased eff
feet to be largely caused by secrctions OF
bacteria These secrctions attack the
paint, thus exposing the metal underneath.
A French torpedo boat anchored for
some months near a sewer outfall suffered
most severely. Experiment further show
ed that when the hulls are galvanized they
should not be painted with red lead, as in
the presence of ammonia salts q reaction
takes place between the red lead and the
zinc, which is dissolved, leaving the steel
below it bare With a view of doing away
with this source of damage zinc oxide
paint has been notwithstanding.
