A Powerful Burning Glass,

The most powerful sunglass ever con-
structed i'll France was that made un-
der the supervision OF the savant NJ.
de Villette. This glass generated heat
sufficient to melt u copper coin of the
size Of our silver 20 cent piece in y !.
seconds.
George Parker of Fleet street, Lon
don, made glass much more powerful
than that which resulted from the
Frenchman efforts. Parker's was three
feet i'll diameter and SO powerful that it
was actually used to melt substances
which were too refractory for the fur
naces. The best authorities on heat say
that 1T had power of 166,362 degrees

Why the Qusker's Chester Hogs Took y.
Prizes In Georgia.

Prizes In Georgia.
81 never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair ever
attended i'll Georgia." said a retired
Cincinnati meat packer. sit was at
Macon. and think they called it state
fair. At any rate it was big thing for
the town i'll those days. They had some
fine stock on exhibition, and Pennsyl-
vanian had sent down about 20 of the
finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites, and if 1
reco1lect Alright they were exhibited by
Thomas Wood, great hog and cattle
fancier Of 90 and 80 years ago. He it
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made Il great deal of money out of his
fancy stock. He was u Friend-a Qua
ker, you know-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore a broad brimmed hat.
He was smart old gentleman. honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair, and they took SO
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like a boy who had spent all
his money making collection of badges.
"When the Macon judges made their
awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally to the razor lacks, but not one of
the fat. sleek Pennsylvania hogs got Il
prize. The owner of the exhibit did not
understand it, so he hunted up one of
the judges and said in the language of
the Friends:
L know thee to be an honest man,
and donot question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
would be glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mine:'
My friend, the committee admired
Your hogs greatly, the judge replied
They are certainly handsome, and l
have no doupt that i'll your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are so
! short legged and fat that niger could
catch them i'll two minutes. What we
require i'll hog i'll the south is legs and
wind. We give cur prizes for speed.

The AchRan League.

The Achaan league was formed by the
IL towns of Ach;na for mutual protec-
tion against foreign aggression. 1t was
broken mp by Alexander the Great, but
recognized Z. G. $50 and again dis
solved Z. G. 1i1. The second of these
leagues comprised all the leading cities
OF the Peloponresus, and, indeed, most
of the cities and states Of Greece. 1t was
this league which contended with the
Romans for the independence Of Greece !;
but, its troops being defeated by Metel-
lus at Scarphaa and by Mummius near
Corinth. the league was dissolved, and
all Greece submitted to the Roman
domination.

FINANCES TO BE THE SUBJECT.

All Phases of the Silver Question Likely to
he Gone Over ASain-The True inward
ness OF the Dispute Over the Alaska
boundary Told by senator Davis-Senste
Foreign Affairs Committee to Present n
Monroe Doctrine Declaration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The greater part
of the time of the senate during the pres
ent week will be consumed in the discus
sion OF the finance committees silver sub
stitutc for the bond bill Morgan viii
lead off with a speech today, and Daniel
and Dubois have also given notice of
speeches. Various other senators arc
known to be prepared to take the floor
either in advocacy of or opposition to the
substitute. The probabilities arc all
against securing vote on the measure
during the week. The bill is one which
under any circumstances would call forth
many set speeches and much animated de-
bate which would render it impossible to
reach conclusion after only one week 5
debate. The advocates of the bill also
have a special reason in this instance for
desiring a temp Drary delay. Approaching
the close margin on the vote they are de-
sirous that the Utah senators, Of whose
support they feel confident, should be in
their seats when the vote is taken.
About the AIasiSa Boundary.
The above programme means a lot of
threshing of old straw; "A long debate on
the silver question mixed up with the
tariff question to some extent is what is in
prospect, and if there is any phase of the
former that has not been presented to the
public perhaps some of the orators will
discover and present it. So We will turn
from the probabilities in congress to some
thing new about the Alaska boundary
question which lets some light upon 4
matter that heretofore has seemed hardly
worth attention to a great many people
and indicates what motive is behind John
Bull, and also those who are moving that
the United States shall admit no change
of the line SO long supposed without cx-
animation or determination to be correct.
Object Lesson in Arbitration.
Senator Davis, of the committee on for
eign relations, has been giving consider
able attention to this dispute. He says
that the only question in dispute is
whether the ten marine leagues from the
ocean means from the mainland or from
the adjacent islands; that this does not
even present a case for arbitration, be-
cause it is ''manifcstly plain that the
shore of the II, ainland of the continent is
the basis of the true line. Ii is also evil
dent from the selection of the mountain
range as Il line that the men who drew
the boundary agreement meant that the
line should be ten leagues from the ocean
where it touched the mainland

SOME THINGS PLAINLY APPARENT.
One of Which Is the Commercial Rivalry
Between sam and John.


Between sam and John.
The desire OF Great Britain for portion
of the Alaskan coast is plainly apparent,
declares Senator Davis, when it is consid-
cred that there is vast country in the
northwest territory which can reach the
seaboard only through pass in the north
Rocky mountains and thence across the
strip of land owned by the United States.
East of the Rocky mountains and cast
of the Alaskan coast is country of al
most incstimablc value known as the
Peace river country, part of British Amer
lea. There may be 10900),OJO acres of
tillable or pastoral ground there 1t has
the benefit of the warm air currents from
the Pacific, which makes it Il milder
climate than i'll those portions of the
northwest territory still farther east
1t is desired by Great Britain to open up
this great wheat and stock producing
country and secure a short route to the
sea. \ branch of the Canadian Pacific
road could be built through this Peace
river region and by 4 pass through tho
mountains to the scacoast without much
trouble, and by much shorter haul than
by railroads further south. This would
give the Canadian Pacific another western
terminus, would build up British city
right upon the flank oil the Alaskan posi-
ton OF the United States; there would be
another great paval station and u military
post commanding our Alaskan territory
and the protection which the Alaskan
coast now gives to this country would be
largely nuliified.
The object of Great Britain is quite
plain. Upon the great fertile lands to be
opened Ivy building II road to the coast
through the Peace river region there
would be vast fields of cereals competing
with the grains raised in cur states along
our northern border. At present these
fields cannot bc opened nor the lands de-
vclopcd because of the long rail haul to
the terminus of the Canadian Pacific road
Without another terminus in Alaska
these great fields cannot be opened with
out the consent OF the United States. SEN
ator Davis does not think this government
will ever seriously consider the question
of arbitrating the Alaska boundary.

The subcommittee of the foreign affairs
committee CT the house to take jurisdiction
Of the Cuban matter. is composed as fol-
lows: Adams of Pennsylvania, chair
man; Draper Of Massachusetts, and Hit
of Illinois. Some impaticncc has been
voiced in the house because a1esolution to
recognize the revolution has not been
brought forward and passed-immediately
and patriotic and sentimental reasons
have been urged in support of this feeling
The foreign gtfairs committee recognizes
fully the existence of this sentiment, but
the subcommittee does not feel justified
in acting without the usual elaboration,
nor is it at all certain that they will deem
1t eXpedient for this government to rccog-

Apart from the sentimental reasons
there is commercial phase of the qucs-
ton of which the foreign affairs members
are not allowed to remain IN ignorance
There are sugar investments in Cuba held
