Washington Star: General Weyler was
unfortunate in his early proclamations.
While he is doing very well to keep out
of the hands of the insurgents, it mus
be confessed that his performance does
not carry out the promises of his ad-
vance notices.

Boston Herald: Speaking of the pro-
posed legislation in Alabama against the
women wearing masculine raiment. al
tenticn is called to the fifth verse of the
which reads:
The woman shall not wear that which
pertaineth unto a man; neither shall a
man put on womans garment; for all
that do so are an abomination unto the
Lord"
This seems to vindicate the Alabama
statesmen. though we doubt if they are
proceeding under divine inspiration.

Secretary Langley of the Smithsonian
Institution reports that hunters are
continually killing the few remaining
Buffalo which the government is try
ing to preserve and protect in the
Yellowstone National Park. A few
years ago it was believed that there
were two hundred of the animals in the
park; now only about fifty remain. The
head or skin of buffalo sells for sew
eral hundred dollars, and while the
poachers cannot resist the consequent
temptation. the park is so extensive
that no effectual protection can be af-
forded by the few troopers in charge.
Professor Langley suggests the removal
of the buffalo to the National Geological
Park in Washington, from which, as
their numbers increased. they could
be distributed throughout the United
States.

For many years most Of the emery
has been brought from Turkey and the
Greek islands. Its value for cutting and
polishing has been known since the
beginning of history. Very crude meth
DDS are in use for obtaining this SUBJ
stance for market Enormous fires are
oc2st oa or against the rocks. which
are then broken or cracked by throwing
Jets Of cold water against them Emery
mas many uses. among which are its
employment in polishing and cutting.
Being so manageable. it for long
time defied the efforts of man to put 1t
into available shape. but at length it
was cemented into disable forms,
and it was nodded into wheels
Emery millstones are later
day improvement. They are the
most practical of all stones, because
they are not affected by heat, and the
face is always sharp. As cutting and
polishing powder, emery is Of great
value. and emery sandpaper is an i'm.
portant article of manufacture.

TattoOed Marks OF Affection.

Tattooed Marks Of Affection.
From the London Daily Graphic: The
enamored swain who protests that he
will wear the image of the adored lady
next to his heart is usually considered
to speak language of poetry translated
directly from the boards of the trans
pontine theater. We learn, however,
from an interviewer with an "up-to-
date tattooer," published in the Echo,
that this is not always SO, and that a
considerable business is cone in i'm
printing-in two colors-the counter
felt presentment" of the chosen fair
one as near to the heart of her lover
as is consistent with his personal safe
ty. The practice is romantic one,
but it has it's disadvantages. The face
OF the lady may fade from an inconstant
suitor's mind, but it can never fade
from the skin. Nevertheless, the pOr-
trait of his discarded fair. indelible
though it be, is surely not incapable of
alteration. The features, might, per-
haps, with little ingenuity be adapt
ed" and the face of the old love be
brought by some artist of the needles
to something distinctly resembling
that of the new one who has come to
reign in her stead.

Curious Capriccs.

An eminent authority on mental con-
ditions calls attention to the peculiar
fads and fancies that seem to take Ecid
upon the minds of many persons ana
to entirely dominate them, much 10
their disadvantage and often to the de-
terioration of their mental powers. One
man who conceived a fancy for count
ing the numbers ON freight cars, car
ried this notion to such an extent that
he oftentimes forgot errands and neg
lected his business. He began by hav-
ing his attention called to the figures
on car that surprised him as indicat-
ing a very large number of cars owned
by a certain railroad. Then it entered
his mind to look for the next lowest
number. This he did, and found 1t,
after several weeks watching. Then
he was filled with the idea of securing
the numbers in succession, and gave his
attention to picking them out when
ever he went near railroads. He had a
book for this purpose, and so COM
pletely did this take possession of him
that he became exceedingly annoyed
and irritated when it grew so dark that
he could not see the figures on the cars
as he passed them. The case became
rather serious, and the attention of a
physician was called to it. He recon-
mended long sea voyage, which was
taken, much against the patients will,
as he was reluctant to give up his hunt
for numbers. After he had become en-
tirely accustomed to the absence of his
favorite amusement, he was reasoned
a man of strong will, he took himself
in hand, and, after hard struggle, was
able to go about. oblivious to the fact
that freight cars had figures on them.

Great Power for Bigh Speed.
The large amount of fuel required for
very high speed racing boats has been
the subject of thorough investigation
BIZ experts, in order, If possible, to re-
duce the quantity Of coal necessary for
this purpose. Some Of the British tor
pedo boat chasers are thought to be the
most perfect vessels of their class in
existence, but in order to attain q thir-
ty-knot speed, they must carry sixty
tons Of coal. This is fully one quarter
Of their entire sea-going displacement.
Unksr high speed they consume be-
tween three and a half and four tons
Of coal an hour. To propel . vessel with
q speed even of twenty knots an hour,
the consumption Of fuel is tremendous

Chinese Hens.

The hens Of China lead busy lives
When not engaged in Matching out a
brood Of their own kind they are put
to the additional and novel task OF
Matching fish eggs. Chinese cheap labor
collects the spawn of fish from the
waters edge, places it in an empty
eggshell, which is then Theoretically
sealed with wax. and places it unier
the unsuspecting sitting hen. After
some days the eggshell is removed and
carefully broken and the spawn, which
has been warmed into life, is emptied
into shallow pool we'll warmed by tho
sun. Here the minnows that soon de-
velop are pursed until strong enough
to be turned into a lake or stream

Ground has been broken for a new
steel arch bridge over the chasm at
Niagara Falls. which will be a wonder
In that line. The new bridge will have
q span Of eight hundred and forty feet.
In width it will be forty-nine feet. This
increased width is made necessary
from the fact that about twenty-three
feet Of the center will be given up to
a double track trolley line. On each
side of these tracks there will be car
riage-ways eight feet wide and beyond

concern is sphinx.
It has been learned, however, that the
invention consists of two immense
bobbin-shaped receptacles made Of thin
sheet aluminium, to contain hydrogen
gas.
A car or cabin Of the same metal is
to be attached to the receptacles. and
will be of sufficient size to accommo-
date a crew of five or six. An electric
motor will operate the wings and steer
ing mechanism.
The car will be in the shape of a
ships hull, and in case of the aerial
continuance collapsing, the inventor
claims the crew can drop to the surface
Of the sea and become navigators of
the water instead of the air.
Tightly closed trapdoors. which,
when securely fastened, will not ad-
NIT water, are to be opened when at
the desired height for the purpose of re-
leasing torpedoes, to be lowered by a
cable reeled from a windlass in the
car
The torpedoes, according to the in
ventor's plan, are to be lowered to the
deck of an enemy's ship or swung
against the side of her hull, when a
current of electricity is to be sent
through the cable to explode the cart
ridge.
The airship is designed particularly
for night service, and to that end
powerful electric light is to be provided
} in the form of large globe suspended
from a reel of wire passed through the
floor of the car.-Ex.
