It Is Published All Over the World, Whor-
ever Its Editors May Be.

Two Paris journalists are publishing a
paper under extraordinary circumstances.
1t is called En- Route, and the initial
number appeared at Nice last month.
Where its next will be printed is impossi-
BILE to say.
The editors of this little four page paper,
printed this time half in italian and half
in French, are Messrs. lie Roy and Papil-
laud, who up to three months ago were re-
porters on the Paris press.
The plan which the two reporters out
lined to their companions was that of
making a tour of the world, starting from
Paris, without sou in their pockets and
with determination to engage in no
mental or humiliating labor. In addition
to a thorough knowledge of German Eng
lish and Italian, besides their native
tongue, they possessed the accomplish
ments of being fair musicians and clever
artists with the pencil. The principal bag
gage of each was his guitar.
''Our route will be zigzag one" said
M. Papillaud in his speech of farewell,
land far from the itineraries of the tour
lists"
The first number of their newspaper,
En- Route, is the odyssey of their journey
ings up to the time of its publication
They started from The Figaro Office at $3.50
in the afternoon of Jan. with empty
pockets. The first money they earned
which took them out of Paris, was at the
Ba-ta- Clan, n famous Partisan cafe con-
cert, where they made some sketches which
they sold for francs. With what they
made that evening they were able to reach
Mclun, town near Paris, by the night
train. From there they sent some "copy'
to the papers, on which they received such
prompt returns that they were able to pro
coed on their journey the following day.
At Nice they found some money await
ing them for the newspaper sketches they
had sent to Paris, and this, with what they
had gained in other ways, amounted to
considerably more than they would need
for the next stage of their journey. 1t was
then that the idea of starting a newspaper
came to them, and En- Route was the re-
suit For its printing they spent nearly
all their capital.
Thus in less than a month they had
not only made their living, but had reached
Nice, instead of starving to death on the
way, as had been predicted. Furthermore,
they were the editors and proprietors of a
newspaper, copies of which they began sell
ing at once. They also obtained some sub
scribers at the rate of francs per year.
After spending two days at Genoa they
proceeded to Milan. They have not yet de.
cided whether to visit Constantinople or to
take passage on some ship going through
the Red sea to India and China. More will
doubtless be heard from them.
Since starting they have had many appli.
cations from people wishing to join them,
all of which they have firmly refused, say.
ing that they wished no other companions.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
Guarded Statements as to MIR. CIevelands
Views on Momentous Topics.

President Cleveland is opposed to bloom
ers. He has given no official opinion on
the subject, and there is no good founda-
ton for saying that he is preparing such
an opinion. But his intimate associates
say that he opposes them The old fash
toned frocks are, his associates say, good
enough for him-that is, they are good
enough for him when they arc on women.
His opinion on women who ride bicy-
clcs has not been obtained. His associates,
however, venture to assert that he does not
approve of thcm-that is, when they are
on bicycles. As a class, he likes women.
But he is old fashioned enough, his aSso
ciates say, to want them to keep to what
he calls their sphere.
The president thinks women ought to
marry, and he would doubtless sign with
pleasure u bill passed by congress to inn
pose Il bachelor tax on unmarried men. And
with their disappearance the woman suf
fragc movement would fall into innocuous
dcsuctude He doesn't think the move
mcnt for woman suffrage so harmful as
tho free silver crusade, but he thinks
neither is practical. He is not understood
to hold that woman is not mans equal
but he is represented as inclined strongly
to the belief that it is ordained that man
shall win the bread and woman bake it,
And being man Of destiny himself he

TALES OF THE TIMES.
This Story illustrates How Times Hav
Changed.

This story ILLUSTRATES HOW IlmeS Rave
Changed.
Here is another proof that things have
changed very materially since the days be-
fore the war. A tall gentleman, wearing
a wide brimmed soft felt hat, broadcloth
frock coat, revealing an expansive shirt
front, with the evident air Of a southcrncr
about him, stood ON Broadway corner in
New York.
Across Broadway camo a young colOred
woman in handsome silk dress. wearing
diamond earrings. The southerner gdzed
at her in plain astonishment, which was
doubled when she reached the 'sidewalk.
She dropped from her daintily gloved hand
a silver vinaigrette. 1t rolled into the gut
ter and disappeared in a pile of dust. A
little white girl who was wheeling baby
in carriage, dartcd after the bauble, and,
wiping it on her calico frock handed it to
its owner.
The colored woman opened her purse,
and, taking from it II. silver coin, gave it
to the child, who took it promptly and
thanked the colorcd woman.
The colonel watched the incident with
open mouthed establishment, and then,
turning to the reporter, said:
"Well, sir, l have seen many strange
things since 1 first arrived in New York,
but that is the worst I ever saw. Think of
it. Forty years we owned them, and now
we stand and see them give money to
white folks. tell you, it beats all. "
Then he strobe away, with a plain look
of disgust New York World.

NEW TERRITORY ADDED STRANGELY
TO UNCLE SANS DOMAIN.

Land Pushed Up Out of the Sea at One OF
the Santa Barbara Islands-BuiIdings
Twisted About In Odd Fashion-Appear-
ance of Now Land.
Uncle Sam acquired some new territory
in the Pacific few weeks ago in a novel
manner. 1t was not acquired by conquest,
annexation or purchase. but was n gift
from nature herself who pushed it up
from the depths of the Pacific ocean and
gave it unasked.
biologists say that nature is constantly
giving and taking land after this fashion;
that some portions of the earth are steadily
subsidng and others rising, some coast
lines advancing and some rcCeding.
Once in awhile new island is lifted
suddenly out of the sea by volcanic action,
and this practically is what occurred of
the coast of California several weeks ago,
when about 30, 600 square yards of rock
were added to one of the Santa Barbara is
lands with n suddenness that surprised the
people living on the island.
Not only was new land added to the is
land, but that already existing was moved
around in an embarrassing manner. Build
ings erected in the shelter of tho cliffs,
with u seaward exposure, were lifted up &c
or 80 feet to the level of the plateau and
twisted around so as to face directly in
land.
The Santa Barbara group of islands lies
about 60 miles off the coast of California,
in about the latitude of Los Angeles. The
island of San Miguel, to which the new
land has been added, is one of the smaller
islands and is owned by Captain VIC.
Waters, who has n big sheep ranch on it.
Some of the islands of the group are not
able for their scenic beauties, but san
Miguel is bleak and comparatively unin-
tercsting. 1t is plainly of volcanic origin,
and it is said that at various times within
the last half century stretches of the cliffs
along the southern shore of the island
have fallen away and been swallowed W
in the sea.
Captain Waters was on the island when
the earthquake, eruption, or whatever it
was, occurred He took the information &c
the mninland and the San Francisco FIX
amncr sent correspondent to San Miguel
to get all the facts and some pictures OF
the new territory of the United States.
The new land presents singular appear
ance. Long streamers of seaweed hang
from the face of the cliffs, and shellfish OF
all kinds are clustered about it, The sur
face of the rocks is covered with marine
growths, including Holsters, mussels, crabs,
large and small fish of various species,
weeds and flowers and all the odd things
usually hidden from the sight of man on
the sea bottom or seen only in an aqua
rum. Under mass of seawecd the search
ers found a human skull, which is declared
to be relic of the ancient Indian inhabit
ants of the island.

Kelley Cure Said to Cause Insanity.

For the first time in the history Of the
country, pardon is to be asked for muir
dercr on the grounds of insanity caused by
the Kelley treatment. The case is that of
Daniel Wcrling, who murdered his wife in
Pittsburg last April. He has ailidayits
from Drs c. G. Wiley and Samuel Ayers,
who say that the Kelley treatment FIRE,
quently produces insanity and sometimes
death. They say there are many cases OF
insanity on record caused by the Kcclcy
cure. The cause of it, they say, is the use
Of atropia and strychninc. Wcrling took
two courses of the Kelley treatment inside
of six months before he committed the
murder -Phladclphia Times.

A PLUOKY BOY.
His Arm Horribly Crushed, He Tries to
Reassure His Mother.

Reassure His Mother.
Bright and plucky little 1O-ycarold
Howard d. Drandan of New York will
have to go through life with only one arm,
and that the left There is no doubt, how
ever, in the minds of those who saw him
Just after his right arm was horribly
crushed by truck that he has courage
enough to accomplish almost anything,
even though he will be so handicapped
through the loss of his right arm.
When school was dismissed the other
afternoon, Howard dashed past other boys
of his class and was the first to leap joy
fully on the Boulevard, which he started
TO cross on q run. He did not see bicycle
rider speeding along until the machine
was almost upon him. Swerying to one
side he was knocked down by the wheel
of large truck, loaded with two huge
timbcrs. The wheel passed over his right
arm just above the elbow, crushing the
tender bones. Then the wheel passed along
the right leg pinching off pieces of flesh,
but not breaking any bones
Howard was carried into a drug store
near by, and hurry call was sent for an
ambulance
The boy displayed rare grit He did not
lose consciousness, and beyond whimpcr-
ing little at first he did not cry. The
ambulance surgeon had no sooner llnelt at
his side than he asked eagerly:
doctor, will you have to remove it?'
Any OnlOOkcr could have answered in
the affirmative, but the doctor, kindly and
properly under the circumstances, replied
II hope not my boy"
His mother arrived about this time, sob
bling, and Howard tried to rcassure her
saying:

generated by the decomposition of this
material in water. The discoverer says it
can be produced in unlimited quantities
for 50 n ton and sold with profit at IL price
