Cookinx by Solar Heat.

The various experiments made with
solar engines by the French in Algeria.
where the sun is never overloaded and
shines with great power, have been at
tended in some instances with marked
success. The best apparatus is stated
to be simple arrangement of boiler
and concave mirror, the steam generated
being condensed in a coiled tube sur
rounded by water, this being intended
merely for distilling water. But in
India an inventor has contrived some
machines with which more varied re-
suits are accomplished. One OF these,
says the Philadelphia Record, is what
is termed a cooking-box made of wood
and lined with rejecting mirrors. at
the bottom of the box being small
copper boiler covered with glass to re-
tain the heat of the rays concentrated
by the mirrors upon the boiler. In
this continuance any sort OF food may
be quickly cooked, the result being a
stew or boil if the steam is retained, or
if allowed to escape it is bake. The
heat with this device may be aug
mented indefinitely by increasing the
diameter of the box.

The foreign Office at Pekin says that
when the bandits killed the two mis-
sonaries it ordered the governor Of
Shangtung to arrest the culprits, and
the capture of four Of them was effect.
ed, but meanwhile, indeed only one
day before, the Germans landed troops
and occupied the forts.
The Germans still occupy Kiao Chau,
place Of great strategic and COM
mercial importance, and show no dis
position to abandon it. but, on the con.
trary, appear to have seized upon the
murder of the missionaries as pretext
for obtaining and permanently occupy
ing very desirable position upon the
Chinese coast, and 80 clear is this de-
termination that China has appealed to
Russia to interfere in her behalf against
Germany. Germany reinforced her
squadron in the Chinese waters on the
heels of this seizure Of Kiao Chau bay,
and it is reported that as long ago as
1895 one Of our warships on the Chinese
coast was applied to by q German yes
sci for charts Of these waters, and par
ticularly requested detailed charts Of
the harbor of Kiao Chau." The Ger
mans verified these charts, and made
moro extended surveys Of the place,
and when 'the German naval officers
at that time discussed the probability
Of their occupying that port, the murder
Of German missionaries Vas not mem

Boston,s Old Elm.

The state of neglect into which the
site of the old elm on the common, in
Boston, has fallen is beginning to
worry old Bostonians who pass the spot
daily on their way to business. After
a gale in February, 1875, brought down
what was left of the old elm, young
elm was started on the site of the old
one, and this tree is now one of the
largest in that part of the common.
Inside the enclosure is rusty iron
standard bearing two tablets, the lower
one about three times the size of the
upper. The lower tablet is the origin
al one, put up in 1854, and bears the
inscription: "This tree has been stand
ing here for an unknown period. 1t
is believed to have existed before the
settlement of Boston, being fully grown
in 1772, exhibited marks Of old age in
1899, and was nearly destroyed by a
storm III 1882. Protected by an iron
enclosure in 1854" The upper tablet
reads: ''The old elm, destroyed by a
gale February Is, 1876. This elm
planted A. d. 1876" The little en-
closure has an unkempt appearance.
The fence is made of small rough wood
en- posts and two strands of twisted
wire. These posts are keeled over. On
one side the wires have fallen down.
The tablets and standards are covered
with rust.

Rread for Old Women.


From time beyond the memory of the
oldest inhabitant of Portsmouth, N. H.,
there has been distributed from old St.
Johns Church every Sunday twelve
oayes Of bread to twelve old women in
accordance with the terms of one The
odore Eccleston's last will and testa-
ment. Because Of the gift by will the
church is still heated with wood fires.
Few, if any, churches In America are
more interesting, historically, than this.
The founding Of the parish dates from
1893, but the present edifice Is modern.
1t was built in 1906, and the good man
who preached the dedication sermon
described it as q work Of stupendous
magnitude 1t Is not, however, the
building which attracts us, but its be-
longings. Here we see the old prayer
book with the prayer for the President
egar' Bible, Of which only forty copies
were printed and but five Of which are
in the United States. The bell which
calls the parish to prayers Is capture
from Louisburg, and although twice re-
cast, once by Paul Revere, since its
voice was heard in it's foreign home, 1t
is yet the same old bell. An armchair
which stands behind the altar rail was
a gift from Queen Caroline, but is now
known as the Washington chair, hav-
Ing been occupied by the first Presi-
dent of the United States. Admiral
tarragut was buried from St. Johns,
and the reading table is made Of wood
from his flagship. A strange bit of
treasure trove Is the heavy porphyry
font captured by the English from the
french off the coast Of Africa.

A North Western Wreck.

Vail, Ia, Dec. 21.-The overland
limited on the Chicago & Northwest
ern, which left Chicago last night. ran
into an open switch near here at 6
o'clock this morning. The mail-catch,
it seems, few out of the mail coach,
which was next to the engine. The
catch struck the switch lever, BROKE it
off and opened the switch. The train
was going at the rate of 60 miles an
hour. The engine and mail car re-
NAMED on the track, but the buffet
car, two sleepers and two coaches were
completely overturned on the prairie.
Every body on board was knocked about
considerably, and many were scratched
and bruised, but no person was killed
or apparently seriously injured. A
wrecking train was sent to the wreck,
and within short time the passengers
were on their way to Omaha.

NO MORE SEALSKiNS.
Important Clause in the Bill That Has
just Passed Congress.

Washington, Dec. 21.-It has been
developed that the bill relating to Pc
lagic sealing which has just passed
both branches of congress, and is before
! the president, contains provision OF
far-reaching character which has thus
far escaped attention. This is an absO-
lutte prohibition of the bringing of seal
/ skins into the United States. As the
United States is the largest market in
the world for sealskins this complete
stoppage of the trade in this country
will be severe measure against the
British and Canadian industries which
take and cure the skins and then dis
pose of them largely in the United
States.
When the bill was proposed it was
generally supposed that its only pur-
pose was to prohibit American citizens
from carrying on pelagic sealing. This
feature was the only one to attract at
tention during the discussions. AT the
adoption of the bill, however, section
was discovered which was not restricted
to Americans. but applies to sealskins
in general, taken in the waters men
toned in this act," which include the
whole Pacific ocean. The provisions is
as follows:
Section Q. That the Importation into
the United States by any person what
soever of fur sealskins, taken in waters
mentioned in this act, whether raw,
dressed, dyed or manufactured, is
hereby prohibited, and all such articles
imported after this act shall take effect
shall not be permitted to be exported,
but shall be seized and destroyed by
the proper officers of the United
States"
Those who are thoroughly familiar
with the bill say this provision is OF
far more Importance in its effect than
the prohibition against pelagic sealing
by Americans

A Boston RumOr.

Boston, Dec. 21.-A prominent Ger.
American merchant of this city
has received a private cipher cable
from German capitalists advising him
to sell out all his holdings in Boston
Immediately. 1t is rumored that the
cable disclosed startling coup planned
by Germany, and exposed the secret
destination of the mysterious German
feet. According to the dispatch, the
fleet is really being sent to threaten
the United States. and secure absolute
supremacy of the Pacific by seizure OF

RELIEF BILL SIGNED.
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars to Aid
Starving YukOners.

Starving YukOners.
Washington, Dec. 21.-Both houses
of congress today passed the joint reso-
luton for the relief of miners in the
Yukon valley, Alaska, and in short
time it had received the signature OF
the president.
The bill appropriates 5000, 900, to be
expended under direction of the secre-
tary of war in the purchase of supplies
for the relief of the people in the Yu-
kon country or other mining regions OF
Alaska, and for the transportation and
distribution of such supplies, provided
that, if the consent of the Canadian
government be obtained, the secretary
of war may extend the relief into Can
adian territory. The resolution fur
Their provides that the supplies may be
sold in that region at such prices as
may be fixed by the secretary of war, or
donated to those unable to pay for
them. The secretary of war is author
lied to use the United States army in
carrying into effect the provisions OF
the act, to import reindeer and drivers
for the transportation of supplies, and
to adopt such other provisions as are
practicable. The secretary is directed,
when the work shall have been COM
pleted,. to sell the reindeer or turn
them over to the secretary Of the inter
ior, in his discretion, and to make a
detailed report to congress at the be-
ginning of the next session of such dis
bursements made and results accom-
plished under the act.

Strange Journey of a squaw.

Many articles have been written to
prove that the original inhabitants of
America were Asiatics, who found
their way to this continent by way of
Behring Strait. Under the circum-
stances 1t Is somewhat singular that so
many of the ethnologists who have dis
cussed this subject have neglected
Father Huk's story of the Chinook In
dian woman, whom the famous travel
er found wandering far In the interior
Of Asia. 1t was In the last century.
The woman claimed that she had trav-
eled northward until she reached Beh-
ring Strait, where she was driven
across in a boat during storm. Her
companions being all lost, and having
no inclination to return the squaw set
about visiting the different parts of the
land which she had reached by acct
dent. When Father Hulk met her she
was in central Asia, and still intent on
going father.-Chicago Chronicle.

MAKING or DELICATE WIRES.
ONE Are So small That No Gauge
Can Measure Them.

ONE Are So Small That No Gauge
Can Measure Them.
Gold wire Is mentioned In connec-
ton with the decorations of the sacer-
dotal robes of Aaron, it is true, yet the
oldest pieces Of wire OF which the
world has any knowledge is speci-
men made by the Ninevites some 800
years B. G. Solid gold drawn wire Is
now practically unknown in the trade.
However, gold wire is made In the fOl-
lowing manner: Silver rods are coat
ed with gold in proportion OF z per
cent. Of gold to the weight of silver to
be manipulated. When the gliding is
performed, the rods are about Ia inch
es In diameter by 2 feet inches long,
and weigh about 400 ounces each. The
two metals are then drawn together,
first through steel dies, and after
ward through drilled rubies or dia-
monds. The process Of drilling the
gems is kept a secret. A better Idea
Of the minuteness of some of these
borings may, however, be learned
from the fact that the holes cannot
be discerned by the naked eye, and
only by the aid of magnifying glass
can one be convinced that they really
exist.
For the manufacture of silver and
silver gilt wires, the silver Is some
times bored out and internal copper
rods inserted, and they are then drawn
together. Wires as fine as a human
hair, for example, .OO3 inch in diam
eter, and even finer, can be gagged by
instruments termed "micrometers. I"
The scales for weighing the gold coin
at the mint are so exquisitely fine they
can detect the most minute particle
added to either side of the balance.
There are fine woven wire gauzes and
cloth, some Of which are made with as
many as 10000 meshes to the square
inch.
The more delicate classes of wires
find application in scientific instru-
ments. So fine are these that it is diff
ficult to get them measured; but the
task has been accomplished, and pla-
tinum wire has been drawn to 1900
Of an inch, and to even greater fine
ness. Aluminium wire has been drawn
as fine as 10000 yards to the ounce, a
size too fine to be practically measured
by any gauge or instrument. While
mentioning practical examples Of fine
drawn wires, 1t may be stated that iron
has been attenuated SO that over two
and one-half miles in length only
weighed one ounce. Again, twenty
four grains of gold have been drawn
on a silver wire to length Of 12O
miles.
The making of watch springs de-
serves mention in this connection. 1t
is now generally recognized that no
more forcible example of the value OF
labor as against the raw material can
be cited than that demonstrated by
the manufacture of watch springs.
Hair springs have been manufactured
of only one-tenth of grain weight,
or, in other words, out of one pound OF
iron as many as $4,000 of these dell
cate springs have been made, the val
ue Of which was 100, 1000 times as much
as that of the raw material employed
in their manufacture.

BONDING MINERS OUTFITS.
Canadian Customs Commissioner Gives
Out Regulations.

Canadian Customs commissioners U1Ves
Out Regulations.
Washington, Dec PA response
has been received to a recent letter
from Secretary Gage to the commits
sioner of customs, requesting informa-
ton as to the bonding of miners outfits
through Canadian territory on the
route from Juneau by way of the Chill
koot pass and the Yukon river to Circle
City. The commissioners says that the
following regulations have been pre-
pared to meet the case:
Imported goods, as above described.
shall be reported to the Canadian Gus
tom-house at Tagish, and may be en-
tered for expectation there in the usual
form, Sin transit" in duplicate. The
goods may then be delivered without
payment of duty to be carried to their
destination out of Canada by any tran
sportation company which has duly
executed bond in the form prescribed
by the minister of customs for the due
and faithful delivery of all packages
carried by such company and for the
general compliance with the customs
laws and regulations governing such
traffic.
A duplicate of the entry in transit,
duly signed and marked with the proper
customs stamp, shall accompany each
shipment of goods conveyed by bond
ed carrier, so that the same may be re-
turned to the custom house at Fort
Cudahv with a certificate thereon as to
the landing of the goods in the United
States, or of their having passed out
wand from Canada, within six months
from the date of the entry.
If the goods, when entered in transit
for expectation, are not delivered to be
forwarded by bonded carrier, as pro-
vided in the last proceeding section,
the duty thereon is to be deposited with
the customs officer at Lake Tagish,
subject to a refund of same at the port
of Fort Cudahy, when the goods pass
outward thereat, or upon the certificate
of an officer of the United States, or of
the Canadian customs, that the said
goods have been landed in the United
States within six months from the date
of entry. The duty deposited on such
is to be Endorsed on the entry and GER
titled by the customs officer in charge,
and the duplicate of the entry, duty GER
tilted and marked with the customs
stamp, is to be delivered to the person
making the deposit.
A report of such entry in transit
shall be forwarded by mail without de-
lay by the customs officers at the send
ing port to the collector of customs at
Fort Cudahy, for the collection of du-
ties on the goods entered in transit and
not duly exported. The articles
ususally classified as travellers baggage
are to be passed free, without entry.
Commissioner McDougall, in letter
accompanying these regulations, says
that they are framed with the desire to
afford the utmost facilities for traffic
in question, com patible with security
to the revenue. He further says:
Irresponsible transportation COM
panies will be soon in operation for the
conveyance of goods over the Chilkoot
and other passes down the Yukon river
and it's tributaries, in which case
United States goods may 60 forward
into Alaska without payment of du-
ties"

Lost Her Deck Load.

San Francisco, Dec. %. = The
schooner Mayflower, Captain Olsen, ar.
rived today, 10 days from the Coquille
river. The vessel had 1000 feet of
lumber as cargo when she started, but
when she reached here she was 10, 900
feet short of that amount. From De-
cember 8 to IA inclusive, heavy gales
were encountered. the seas washing
completely over the schooner. 1t was
during an unusually heavy gale that
the lumber was washed away. A sea-
man was at one time carried over the
side of the schooner, but was caught by
q wave and carried back on board
again.
