BRANDING OF SEALS.
PROF. ELLIOTT SAYS 1T is OF
NO PERMANANCY.
Asserts That the Remarks on the
Subject by DR.. Jordan Were
Premature.

CLEVELAND (O), Aug. 23.-The re-
mark of DR.. Jordan, as contained in the
press dispatches of the 22d inst, that
the skins Of branded cows returned
this year to the islands show clearly
the permanency of the mark and its
efficiency to render the skin unstable,
without injury to the animal or to the
herd was commented on by Professor
Elliott to-day as follows:
Il yield to no one in my esteem for
DR.. Jordan's ability and integrity, but
in this statement / believe him to be
premature.
The seals which were branded last
year, and which Jordan speaks of as
returning this year so marked, were
some $50 female pup seals, or the
young of the season of 1896. They
We're branded between the 18th and
goth of September, or after they had
shed their natural coats and put on
their sea-going jackets for the coming
year of their lives. Fur seals renew
their hair once every year Jordan
has not yet had the time to observe the
effects of the branding.
Il was forcibly impressed by the fact
that all scars and wounds in the skins
of fur seals healed without a cicatrice
while studying these animals on the
island in 1S73-74-75 It was very
singular deviation from the law which
governs such healing in the hides of
horses, cattle or dogs and cats. I fol-
lowed it closely in 1878 and again in
1874 and found it to be constant

WAR ON BACHELORS.
Charlotte Smiths Plan to Compel
Them to Marry.

NEW YORK, Aug 23.-Charlotte
Smith, President of the Woman's Res
cue League, called on the Central La
bor Union to explain her new scheme
for compelling maria geable bachelors
to marry. She was too late to get the
floor, but she buttonholed several of the
delegates. She said she had statistics
to show that there was an intimate
connection between her scheme and the
labor question. The great competition
of women in the field of labor she held
was because 60 per cent of the men
refused to marry.
She said she was going to Boston to
start campaign against the Republi-
can and Democratic candidates for
Mayor there, because both of them are
bachelors. She did not believe that a
bachelor ought to hold an elective Of
f1ce because no man could possibly act
on questions of public morality unless
he was married
She was preparing a pamphlet upon
her scheme and intended to show that
If bachelors were compelled to marry
and the army of unmarried women
We're to become housewives and moth
ers wages would go up. Even if all the
bachelors in Greater New York were to
marry there would be still 100,0OO wo-
men without husbands
1t is reported from Boston that Mr.
Curtis, the Republican candidate for
Mayor of that city, has already an
nounced his engagement to a. young
woman.

FAURE IN RUSSIA.
VISIT OF THE FRENCH PRESI-
DENT TO THE CZAR.
Warm Embraces Between the Two
When They Met at
Peterhof.

ST., PETERSBURG, Aug 23.-From
early this morning there had been a
scene Of great animation here and a
steady flow of people toward the quay
where they embarked on profusely
decorated steamers to meet President
Faure at Cronstadt. The magnificent
park between the palace and the sea
was gloriously decorated with the flags
of Russia and France. The streets of
Peterhof were crowded from early
morning and We're gay with court
equipages.
At 10 a. m., when a message from
Cronstadt announced that the French
fleet was approaching, the Car
emerged from the Peterhof Palace en-
tered a carriage drawn by two gray
horses, and drove to the landing stage
His majesty wore the uniform of a
captain in the Russian navy, with the
ribbon Of the Legion of Honor on his
breast.
Grouped at the landing stage were
the high court dignitaries and the diplo-
matte corps.
A large fleet of pleasure steamers
had by that time assembled in the
roads, and the most intense enthusiasm
was manifested when the Grand Duke
Alexis and President Faure left the
Pothuau and proceeded to the Alex
andria. The Car awaited the Presi-
dent at the top Of the Alexandria's s
gangway, and the moment that NJ
Faure set foot on the deck of the I'M
perial yacht warm embraces were ex-
changed between the Car and the
President, which were the signal for a
storm of cheers, waving of handker-
chiefs and other marks of popular and
enthusiastic delight. The sailors
manned the ship at the same time. and
gave the regulation cheers for the
Car and his guest.
When the Imperial yacht was safely
moored alongside the jetty, the French
President was the first to land, and
the band Of the Imperial Guard struck
up ia Marseillaise" The Car fol-
lowed NJ. Faure ashore, and immedi-
ately presented his guest to the Grand
| Dukes present
A detachment of marines with colors
flying then marched past the Czar and
the President, who afterward reviewed
them, the marines cheering as they
went by.
The Car and President Faure then
drove to the palace. The route to the
palace was lined with troops, and be-
hind the soldiers were massed enthusi-
astic crowds of people. who were fran

Upon arriving at the Peterhof Pal

few minutes later President Faure
emerged from the Peterhof Palace, ac-
companied by General Bfldering, and
drove TO the Alexandria Palace, in ord
er to offer his homage to the Czarina.
A private luncheon at the Alexandria
Palace followed.

printed this afternoon, says that there
will be no reduction in the tax on i'm

The reply of the Government to the
representations of the subject says the
temporary scarcity of wheat in the
French market is owing to the bad
harvest, and that so soon as the Amer
lean and Australian wheats arrive at
French ports the situation will right
itself.
Continuing, the correspondent of the
"Pall Mall Gazette" telegraphs:
THE Government, especially now
that the elections are drawing near,
is mortally afraid of offending the
small peasant, who usually grows
wheat. On the other hand, the working
classes. who constitute the mass of
the population in the large towns, still

ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.
People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
some Practical Conveniences.

People Two Thousand Years Ago Hal
Some Practical C~onveniences.
In two Of the museums Of old Roman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water heaters, which indicate that the
principle of the water tube, the crown
Ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood and appreciated some . 1000
years ago. Mr.. W.. I. Bonner Of Gin
cinnati has been investigating these
heaters and found them to be az inter-
esting as they are beautiful. One Of
them consists Of an outer shell II
inches In diameter and nearly II inches
high, surmounted by a somewhat hemi-
specifically shaped top. Inside this shell
is an internal cylinder, also having a
hemispherical top. which is 10 inches
In diameter and IL inches high. The
two shells are connected at the bottom
by a rim, like the mud ring Of a loco
motive frebox, and the space between
them was filled with water. The CRATE
was formed of seven tubes made from
sheet bronze, rolled and soldered on
brazed. These tubes open at both ends
into the bottom Of the space between
the shells. thus forming a water tube
CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed on the CRATE
through an opening 4.8 !nches high and
4 inches wide, closed by a beautifully
decorated door. The gases from the fire
escaped into the outer air through three
small openings formed by tubes cross
ing from the inner to the outer shell
about SO inches above the CRATE. The
whole apparatus was raised about IL
inches ON a tripod SO as to allow air to
reach the fuel. In another boiler Of
somewhat the same type the outer shell
has the form Of an urn, while the inner
shell rises from a water tube CRATE to
an opening in the side. 1t is IL inches
in diameter at the widest part, 1913
inches high and supported on a tripod
about 4 inches high. Its general shape
is much like that of the silver cream
pitchers known as the Paul Revere pat
terms, although, Of course, it is much
larger and has a top closed by q lid. Is
has been suggested that these utensils
may have served at some time to heat
wine as well as water, which sugges-
ton appears reasonable, as many his
torians state that the Pompeiians made
great use of hot drinks. 1t may be that
they were found in one of the terrdpodi
or cafes, Of which there were several in

OUTWlTTING AN EDITOR.
An Exciting Political scheme In Which
McCuiIagh Figured.

McCuiIagh Figured.
When David r. Francis was a candi-
date for governor Of Missouri, his
friends succeeded in using The Globe
Democrat to further his chances of cleo
ton. Editor McCullagh had turned ON
''Our Dave" as Mr.. Francis is known
in st Louis, with his short paragraphs
with telling effect, and Francis friends
got together and c~oncocted a scheme to
offset the editorial work of the paper.
They wrote out display advertisement,
and at a late hour of the Saturday
morning Immediately preceding the
election of 1883 took it to the counting
room of The Globe Democrat. The clerk
on duty gave the copy a casual looking
over and without a word accepted it.
1t occupied a full page, and at length
and in glowing terms set forth the
great business capacity and eminent
qualifications of Mr.. Francis to occupy
the gubernatorial chair of Missouri"
That advertisement caused the big
gest row ever witnessed in a newspaper
office in st. Louis. When Editor Nc
Cullagh found what had been done, he
ragged and stormed for a week. The fast
mail had distributed the paper all oyer
Missouri before McCullagh had his at
tention called to it. He left his quarters
at the Southern hotel on a trot. Reach
Ing the corner of Fourth and Pine
streets, he found the streets and the
Office Of The Globe Democrat jammed
with people, who were clamoring to
stop their subscriptions. McCullagh had
illed a column ON the editorial page
with 'squibs" strongly opposing Fran
els and advocating the Republican NOM
inee, but the big display Of Francis
friends was the first thing seen on open
ing the paper.
Mr.. McCullagh at once issued an ex-
ira, in which he deprecated the over
sight by which the advertisement had
found its way into the paper, but it
was some time before The Globe Dem
ocrat Office recovered its equilibrium
