NEW MAMMALS DISCOVERED.

Success of an Expedition Sent Out
by Stanford.
STAMFORD UNIVERSITY, Au-
gust 22.-Dave Coolidge, who has been
at the head of scientific expedition in
the mountain and desert regions of
California, has just returned. He re-
ports the discovery of number of
new species of mammals, and that the
expedition has been highly satisfac-
tory. The work was principally con-
fined to the San Bernardino and Cuca-
monga mountains and the Colorado
desert. The party spent several weeks
on the desert. In all they collected 28O
specimens of mammals, including the
new species. The collection will be
placed in the Stanford Geological Mu-
scum.

war Against Bachelor

NEW YORK, August 23-Charlotte
Smith, president of the Womans Res
cue League, called on the Central La
Dor Union to explain her new scheme
for compelling marriageable bachelors
to marry. She said she was going to
Boston to start campaign against the
Republican and Democratic candidates
for Mayor there, because both of them
are bachelors. She did not believe that
bachelor ought to hold an elective of
flee, because no man could possibly act
on questions of public morality unless
he was married

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, August 21.
General Azcarraga, the Premier and
Minister for War, has decided to con-
vene the Cortes in November. The
Premier announces that he is in accord
with General Weyler, the Captain-G Gen
eral of Cuba, but reserves the right to
make further examination of the Gu
ban question.
In conclusion, the Premier proclaims
himself as being the head of the Gov
ernment, and not the leader of any
party.

LONDON, August 21.-Lieutenant
Squier of the Artillery School at Fort
ress Monroe, and Professor Crehore of
Dartmouth have made some remarka-
BILE demonstrations during the past
week of the possibilities of their syn
chronograph.
The Government telegraph officials
gave these men the use of the line, sec
miles long, making circuit through
London, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh
Newcastle, York and other places, over
which the Americans succeeded in
transmitting short messages at a speed
equivalent to 1000 words per minute.
The messages were received with
perfect clearness. Forty-four miles OF
the line were underground, thus ad-
ding to the difficulty of the trial. The
highest rate attained by them in Am
eria was 5000 words per minute over
an iron wire 13 miles long.

Imported bristles come from van Gus

of the supply comes from cold countries,
where the hogs are well protected by
thick coats, and many Of the h-i7tles
are those of wild hogl It's hcgs shed
their coats as many other animals do,
and there are men who gather the bris-
ties Of wild hogs, knowing their haunts

Other bristles are collected in the usual
manner when the hogs are killed. The
bristles are subjected to various proc
esses Of curing and preparation before
they become commercial bristles and

Imported bristles range from ~ to
~ inches in length. Various vegetable
6bers are now used extensively in the
manufacture of cheaper brushes, but
for many uses bristles are indispensable
and their importation continues steady.

A AIatter Of Spelling.

Il is one of the curious facts that
many of the brightest writers spell
atrociously. That in itself goes long
way in the practical demonstration that
illiteracy does not connect itself with
the art Of spelling. An excellent article
that recently passed through editorship
in this Office contained the words Evil
liage," Chinese" "prarie," "par-
alell," failure" Portuguese" and
"looso" for lose" 1t was an admirable
paper of choice literary quality, and
yet had it been printed as it was writ
ten the proofreader would have been
open to summary discharge fer obvious
and hopeless incompetence.
That humble minister would have
been declared too illitcratc to read proof
Going backward one step, the copy
reader that let such manuscript pass
without alteration would also be open
to discharge. Why? For illiteracy. And
yet the literary quality of the illiterate-
ly written article was fine and evident.
People are very sensitive about their
looks and their spelling. Next in gray
ity to the charge of being homely is the
charge of being unable to spell. That
seems to carry with it sort Of proof
that bad spelling is discreditable. Aud
yet the people whom the charge most
hurts are those of whom it is truest. To
be able to write without being able to
spell is like being able to run without
being able to walk. Those who do 1t
are wonder to those who look OIL

NEWPORT News. Va, April as.-Fire
broke out early this morning on pier
five, and before the alarm was sounded
the entire building was in flames, A
number of persons were injured and it
is thought several lives were lost. It
is impossible to ascertain the facts, as
the frelnen are still engaged in fight
ing the flames.
Some of the injured are: Captain
krelte of the German ship j. BisclloH,
Captain Bulman of the British steam
skip C%lintonia, Captain Roper of the
tug boat Wanderer, all of whom were
badly burned in attic mpting to escape
from the ships.
Three ocean steamships were en-
tirely destroyed, together with partial
cargoes. They are the British steam
ship Clintonia, the Norwegian steamer
Selvieg and the German fu%ll-rigged
sailing ship j. D. BischoH. The first
two have been towed out into the
stream and are now burning. The
Bischoff is lying near the smolderine
embers of Pier 6, in a mass of flames.
The loss on the ship alone is esti-
mated to be at least $500, 900, partially
covered by insurance. Over 81, 600, 900
worth OF grain and merchandise was
stored in the two piers which were de-
stroyed, and this is partially covered
by insurance, The total loss is placed
at $4,000, 900.
BY hard work the huge grain eleva-
tor was saved. The fire is still rag
ing, but there is no danger of its
spreading.
