A Great African Lake.

The region of Lake Rudolf in the
'tdark continent will soon become well
known to the geographers and colo
nizers of Africa. Two new explorers
have supplemented Dr. Donaldson
Smiths travels in that part of the
world. a brother Englshman, \. II.
Neumanp, has followed the track of
the original explorers along the eastern
shores of the lake, while an Italian, Capt.
Bottego, is now on his way TO AIombasa.
Lake Rudolf was discovered by Count
releki in 1888. It has no visible outlet
The present researches around this
equatorial sea bid fair to aid consider
ably in the development of British East

TO SAVE SEAL HERDS.
Prof David Starr Jordan Makes
His Report to tho Government.
Open Season for the Killing of FomatoS
Must Iio Abolishcd-PcIagic Sealing q
tho Sole Cause OF Decline of
tho Herds.

Prof. David Starr Jordan. the com.
missioner appointed to investigate the
coEeiition of the fur seal, recommends
in Ills report to the secretary of the
treasury that the open season for the
killing of females be abolished to keep
the Pribiloff island herd intact. "The
sole possible basis of adjustment" says
Prof. Jordan, must be the protection of
the fur seals through mutual conces-
sion, international courtesy and self
respect. So long as pelagic sealing eX-
lists the restrictions governing it are of
slight Importance, and the relations be-
tween the owners of the Pribiloff ISL
ands and the nations whose ships have
the right to destroy its herd must be in
some degree strained"
The estimate made by Prof. Jordan
of the number of seals of all classes
killed last summer is 100000. About
$4,000 pups died of starvation and
pelagic sealing caused the death of 20,-
500.
"Pelagic sealing in Behring sea in Au-
gust" Prof. Jordan says. "is in the high
est degree destructive to the herd. If
considered as an industry it is suicidal
one, as it can be profitably continued
only under conditions which must bring
it to speedy end. Since it began more
than 100000 fur seals have been taken
in the North Pacific and in Behring sea.
tbs means the death of not less than
100000 breeding females, the starvation
of 100000 pups and the destruction of
400,0oH pups still unborn. In this call
culatiOr account is taken only of those
of which the skins have been brought
to market. No record of the animals
lost after being shot or speared is avail
able, though the number is known to be
very great.
"Pelagic sealing, in the Judgment of
the members of the present commission,
has been the sole cause of the continued
decline of the fur seal herds. 1t is at
present the sole obstacle of their resto-
ration and the sole limit to their indefi-
mite increase
In conclusion Prof. Jordan says:
"The ultimate end in view should be
an international arrangement whereby
all skins of female fur seals should be
seized and destroyed by the customs au-
thorities of civilized nations whether
taken on land or sea from the Pribiloff
herd, the Asiatic herds or in the lawless
raiding of the antarctic rookeries. 1t
would be well for America to lead the
way in stoPping pelagic sealing by re-
straining her own citizens without
waiting for the action of other nations.
We can ask for protection with better
grace when we have accorded unasked
protection to Others"

FLORIDA BLIGHTED.
Gold Snap Causes Havoc AIN 0ns
Crops and Orchards.
Thousands OF Acres OF Vegetation Turned
from Healthy Green to Black and
Yellow--Loss May Amount
to Millions.

From every section of the state OF
Florida save the extreme southern por.
ton come stories of blghted trucl,
farms and grave fears for the orange
groves, which were just beginning to
recover from the blasting effects of the
blizzard that swept over the state in
February, 1895. In northern and west.
ern Florida nothing escaped the blight
of the wintry weather that came with
the stiff wind from the northwest. In
these sections but few oranges are
grown, and nothing had been done to
rChabilitate the groves killed in 1895
but there were immense areas devoted
to truck, and these areas look as if they
had been swept by fire, so black and
yellow are the plants that but two days
pgo were green.
In the section south of Jacksonville,
where the blizzard ragged most ficrcely,
were located all the great orange
groves, which We're Il gold mine until
the freeze of 1895, all of the strawberry
farms which yielded rich returns, many
pineapple plantations and lemon groves,
and thousands ofacres of Irish potatoes,
cabbage, beans, lettuce and other veg
ctablcs.
The orange trees We're shoots of one
and two years growth, full of sap, and
incapable of resisting cold like trees
that have attained greater age and in
which sap had given place to hardy
fiber. If the young shoots have been
Killed, as now seems likely, the blow
will be n terrible one to the growers,
for hundreds of them have invested
their all in the attempt to rehabilitate
their groves.
1T is estimated that there were 200,-
600 acres in vegetables south of Jack
sonrillc, and the crop would soon have
been ready for the northern markets.
Ninety per cent. of this crop is lost, and
the truckers are now contemplating Il
heavy outlay and no hope of returns
The vegetable acreage was much larger
than usual, because since the destluc-
tion of the orange groves in 1895 grow
ers generally had turned to vegetables
for revenue while engaged in rchabili-
tating their groves.
The loss will reach hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, and if the orange
shoots are killed will run in the mil
lions. The loss will fall heavily on the
country merchants and the country
banks, which have made advances to the
truckers. The railroads also, which re-
ccived fancy rates for carrying the veg
Ctablcs to market, will suffer greatly.

HYPNoTIzED BY FORMER LOVER.
Conductor Smith Puts Baneful Spell
over Stella Randolph.

over stella Randolph.
Stella Randolph is lying in half con-
scious condition at her home on the
north side of Denver, Col, owing, as
she says, to the hypnotic influence of n
former sweetheart named John H.
Smith.
Smith is conductor on the West End
Electric railway, and was rejected by
Miss Randolph when he pressed his suit
a month ago. His opportunities did
not cease with the answer, and the girl
slapped his face one day on the car when
he tried to be familiar. Since then
there have been numerous incidents of
the courtship in the courts.
About week ago Miss Randolph was
compelled to take ear which carried
Smith. She was the only passenger
and during the trip she felt that Smith
was staring at her the whole way. Sub
sequently she felt a drowsy sensation,
md on transferring TO a cable car for
trip TO the shopping district was so
overcome with that feeling that she
could not tell whatshe WAS doing. In
stead of continuing as originally in
teaded, Miss Randolph took another car
nome. Before she arrived at the house
she fell on the sidewalk and was taken
indoors by neighbor, Since then she
has not opened her eyes, but is able to
conversation.
