TOURNAMENT AT 3OMpAY.

English ant Indian Regiments Join In
Military and Athletic sports.
A great deal Of interest was mani.
tested in Bombay, recently, in the naval
and military tournament. Encouraged
by the success which attended similar
programme previously given, Gen.
Gatacrc and the committee decided to
add many new features, with the result
that crowds assembled on each day to
witness the various contests. Tickets
were rcsold at premium, and even
trees overlooking the oval were
throngcd with sightsccrs. The second
evening, says foreign exchange, the
tournament was attended by the gov
ernor general, lord Harris, who, as a
famous athlete, enjoyed the capital
sport provided. Little Miss Bracken-
bury, attired in the royal artillery uni
form and escorted by troops, rode up to
his excellcncy and presented him with
o programme. Immediately afterward
a bugle sounded, and the military
tattoo commenced. All the tunes were
Scotch. the pipcrs Of the Royal Scots
regiment opening the proceedings. Five
hundred men next marched in line,
carrying colored lanterns, while twenty
military bands concluded the music
with a splendid rendering of the "Old
Hundredth." Driving by the royal artil'
lery, and exhibition of SKIN with Indian
clubs lly two native regiments, tent
pegging, trick.riding, and gun drill by
men of the royal navy were warmly ap
prcciated by the multitude. The Par
sec volunteers from Pcona were espe
cially popular.

A CRUEL PRAYER.
Mohammedaus Plead for tho DcstructIO
n UInhelleverA.

Moha mmedsus Plead for tho DcstructIou
q Unbelievers.
The following is an exact translation
from the Arabic of the official prayer
of Islam, which is used throughout
Turkey and daily repeated in the
Cairo "Azhar" university by ten thou
sand Mohammedan students from all
lands:
II seek refuge with Allah from Satan,
the accursed. In the name of Allah the
Compassionate, the Mcrciful! O, Lord
of all Creaturesi Oh, Allah! Destroy
the infidels and polythcists, thine cne-
mics, the enemies of the religion! o,
Allah! Make their children orphans,
and defile their abodes, and cause their
feet to slip, and give them, and their
families, and their households, and
their women, and their children, and
their relatives by marriage, and their
brothers, and their friends, and their
possessions, and their race, and their
wealth, and their lands, as booty to the
Moslems, 0, Lord of all Crcatures!"
In all the other religions Of even the
semi-civilized nations of the globe there
can be no prayer found to parallel this
cruel appeal of Islam to the spirit OF
inhumanity. Bulgaria, Damascus, Leb-
anon and Armenia may or may not be
mere hotbeds of anti-Turkish intrigue
with such national prayer Turkey
stands self-condemned in the eyes OF
the world.

HORSES FASCINATED BY FIRE.


Anc Apimais Seised with = Strange Mad
ness When In Peril
The panic that is inspired in the
minds OF horses by a phenomenon so
strange as fire can be understood only
by those who have witnessed fire in n
large stable where numbers Of horses
are kept. says the st. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat. The scene that cnsucs is one Of
the most frightful that can be conceived.
The horses are rescued from the burn
ing building with the utmost difficulty
and only with the most serious peril to
the lives and limbs Of the rescuers.
The animals go mad with fright, rear,
Kick and dash from side to side SO wild
ly Us to make an attempt ut rescue as
perilous as an adventure on q hostile
battery. When rescued they will often
break away from those who hold them
and charge back Mt full speed into the
burning building, there to perish in the
flames. They resist every attempt to
take them out. They have been known
to tear their rescuers with their teeth,
to throw them TO the ground and tram
pie on them, to kick out their brains.
AS the fury of the flames increases SO
does the panic of the unfortunate ani-
mails. They scream out in their agony
as the fire reaches their bodies, yet will
they not for all that seek safety in the
open air. They arc crazed with fear,
and yet remain to be burned to death
when ten seconds run would carry
them to liberty. But they never make
the run, and, MS q rule, are burned
alive in their stalls, where alone they
seem to fancy they can find security.
There is but one way to get them out
and that is to blind them with some
convenient cover, such rs coat or a
blanket, and thus, unable to see the
dangers about them, trembling in
every limb, apparently ready to fall to
the earth with fear, they may be led
out. But the cover must not be toe
quickly removed from their eyes; in
fact, it should not be taken Off until
the animals are out of sight of the
burning building, otherwise they will
break away from the persons leading
them and, in spite of the stoutest eff
forts Mt restraint, will dash back to per
ish in the flames

Musical Instrument. Of Aluminium.

The use Of aluminium is becoming
common. In Austria Hungary q short
time ago the metal was introduced into
the army. The band of the Third regi-
ment of infantry (the Archduke
Charles rcgiment) used it in the manu-
facture of drums, discarding the old
fashioned brass metal. The instru-
ments have a neat appearance and are
much lighter; and, according to ex-
pcrts, their timbre is more melodious.
The regiment bands in garrison at
Vienna have also received the alum.
MUM drum. 1t is stated that this new
ly improved drum will shortly be sup.
piled to all the bands in the Austrian
army. Perhaps in the near future the
trombone and all other instruments
now wholly made Of brass will give
way to aluminium.

METAL REDUCTION LAST YEAR
osatisties Compiled by the Engineering
and Mining Journal.

Statistics Compiled by the Engineering
and Mining Journal
The statistics Of the mineral and
metal production Of the United States
In 1894, compared with the output In
1893, have been compiled with care and
were published recently by the En-
cheering and Mining Journal.
The total value Of the mineral and
in 1894 and 1893 was as follows: 1903,
s615, SAC, 500; 1894, $685., a72, 0Oa; decline,
co., SIS, 904, or Q per cent. This great
falling off was, however, due far moro
to lower prices than to lessencd quanti-
ty Of the product. Thus the value Of
our coal production declined last year
e13, 7SS, s2s, or per cent, while in
quantity it fell off only o,2aO,o7o short
tons, or 81 per cent. This compare
lively small decline in the volume Of
GOAL produced is substantially a meas
are of the whole mineral output Of the
country.
The copper output increased per
cent, from 1927 1856, 7ss pounds in 1898 to
s5S, 5O4,3l4 pounds in 1894, though in
value it declined no less than Fl, 639, sos.
or ~ per cent.
The production of gold increased
from s35, 955, 200 in 1898 to $50, FOL ,2O5 in
1894, but the commercial value Of the
silver produced declined from s47,S11,-
$50 in 1898 to S31, 4O3, 531 in 1894, a fall
of SIS, 907, 800, or 81 per cent This was
partly due to reduced production, co.
100000 ounces in 1903 and only 49,s4e,
s75 ounces in 1894, but the price also
declined from 1879 cents per ounce in
1893 to Go cents in 1894.
Pig iron showed heavy decline II
quantity, from 7,O47, 1884 long tons il
1898 to $685., 1888 tons in 1894, but thu
value declined much more than the
quantity, or from 800, 1888 300 in 1898 t.
s71, 0s6, 1858 in 1894, a falling off in values
of 23X per cent, and in quantity onl,
81 per cent.
The value of spelter declined 81 900,
900, though the quantity produced fel
off but 1880 tons.
On the whole the mineral industry o
the United States has made n highl
satisfactory record in 1894 in the guam
.ity produced over such an enormou
shrinkage of values. With prices lowe
than ever before thought possible, an
in the majority of cases lower than sin
liar articles are produced anywher
else in the world, the output has d.
clined but little. The low prices n
doubt maintained a large consumption
and now, with reviving prosperity All
prices, the producers will reap til
harvest for which they planted in tn
hard timaa
