SOME specimens Of the smallest known
species of hogs are now quartered at the
London geological gardens. They came
from the desert regions OF Australia and
are known as "the pigmy hogs of the an
tipodes." They are well formed, risky
little porkers, the very largest and heav-
lest in the lot (Which are all full grown
not being larger than muskrat. These
geological curios are real hogs. and
should not be confounded with the So
called Guinea pigs" which are specie
of rodent.

A PORTABLE crematory for military
purposes has been invented by Polish
engineer. 1t has the appearance of the
army baking oven, but is much higher
and heavier, and is drawn by eight
horses. It is intended for the disposal
of the bodies of soldiers killed in battle,
so as to avoid the danger of epidemies
from the burial of great numbers OF
men. Each German corps, it is said,
will be equipped with one.

1t was al White Plains that one of

when George the Third was King.
In this battle several famous British
regiments were represented. While
the foundations of the house were

earthed. Itisto the credit of our mil.
liouaire to say that these were care
fully removed to neighboring GENE

of tradition that an English Of

buried at certain point, industri-

PARKWAY look into the beaver trapper's
eyes the moment he sees it. There are
fallen logs, in tangle Of brush trees
denuded of leaves mostly, and down a
slight incline, surrounded by the brush,

the shadows of the trees, which were
caused by beaver that had just dived,

No picture is so suggestive to sports
man as one which shows where game
has been. Sportsmen's papers print pho

A fox's track, leading away across the
snow covered fields, or the ripple where
a fish has slapped the waters surface

a chance with such evidence before him

name was Paul Potter, and who was

There are few paintings better known,
and it is acknowledged by art critics to
be the most complete work that any cat

Though this Dutchman died at the
age of 80, he left behind him 40 pic
lures that were all out of the ordinary,
while some of them were painted before
he was 16. He made, when he was IS,
a wonderful etching that attracted at

you have not at first charity to build

JAPAN-ANERICAN TRADE.
Oriental Officials Inclined to Seek
Western Market.
Counsellor Hayakawa Gives His Views
to a Financial .Journal-FavOrs
Nicaragua Canal.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 6.-The oppor-
tunities for increasing American trade
with Japan are described by S. Haya-
kawa, Counsellor of the Ministry of
Finance and Government Inspector OF
the Bank of Japan, in an interview in
the Manufacturers Record, published
to-day. Hayakawa states that there is
an excellent market for cotton, corn,
iron, petroleum and machinery in his
country, and that by the formation of
Japanese steamship companies, which
intenQ 10 place lines of vessels in SER
vice between the ports on the Pacific
coast and that country, the Americans
viii have much better chance to COM
pete with the European manufacturers.
He says that companies representing
100000 capital have recently been
organized to construct railroad lines,
and that a great opportunity is afforded
10 sell American railway material and
rolling stock. AS yet no railroad equip
ment of any kind, or rails, are made in
Japan.
Hayakawa is one of the party of
japanese officials, which include steam
ship men and fnancieTs, who have been
travelling through the United States
gathering statistics with a view to in
creasing trade relations between this
country and Japan. They have become
much interested in the Nicaragua canal
project. and believe its securities would
find ready market in Japan.
When asked as 10 the feeling toward
American cotton among the japanese
manufactures, Hayakawa said:
From what I have learned of the
cotton produced in your Southern
States, I see no reason why our textile
importers should not receive the bulk
of their supply from America. The fab
ric is especially adapted to our pur-
poses, and in my opinion is superior to
much of that which comes from the
Indian fields. 1 believe that with two
new steamship lines in operation your
shippers will be enabled to place cotton
in our markets at a price which will
enable them to successfully compete
wit hthe Indian cotton
