THE HORRORS OF CUBA.

Terrible Ravages of Smallpox Among
San Domingo Reconcentrados.
Havana, Dec. 2.-The deplorable con-
dition of the country grows more and
more apparent. Refugees and recon-
centrados are becoming more and more
miserable. According to reports from
San Domingo smallpox is making ter
rible ravages among the reconcentra-
dos. Since April last more than 1900
have died in the city alone, to say
nothing of the suburban towns, which
are likewise infested.
The local authorities take no steps
whatever to check the mortality. The
streets of the city are thronged with
famine stricken, wretched beings, who
succumb to disease under, perhaps,
some lonely portice-and sometimes fall
dead in the gutter.
The press correspondents at San Do
mingo say that the worst African saw
ages are more humane than the local
authorities. More than 290 smallpox
cases are known to exist, but no one
is ever vaccinated. Medical aid is very
scarce, and the burial of these wretch
ed beings is most brutally affected.
Often as many as Is corpses are piled
together in a car and then dumped to-
gether in q hole

Gas From Sawdust.

There are several large lumber mills
in Deseronto, Canada, and the town is
partially lighted by gas obtained from
sawdust from them. The sawdust is
charged in retorts which are heated by
a wood fire. The gas from these retorts
passes into series Of coils and thence
into the purifiers, which are similar to
those used, for coal gas. Lime is used as
a purifying agent. The plant is not a
very large one, and it only turns out
$40 meters Of gas per day, for which
about two tons Of sawdust are required.
A man and boy furnish all the labor
needed ut the works. The best quality
Of gas comes from resinous weeds. One
hundred kilogrammes Of sawdust leave
residue Of 20 kilogrammes of char
coal, and the gas in an ordinary burner
gives an illumination Of about 10 can
die power. Engineering and Mining

THE ELECTRIC SUCKER.
A Germans Account of Wonderful Fish
Found In the Nile.


In an article in Ueber Land und
Nicer on Electrical Phenomena In the
Animal World, DR.. Frolich tells about
Il sucker first found in the Nile and its
tributaries by modern scientific men in
1881, but well known TO the ancient
Egyptians as the sucker thunderer
god, being worshiped as such III a
sucker god temple in the city of the
thunder sucke,, or Oryrrhynchos. The
reason they called it the thunder suck
CT, instead Of the thunder fish," was
because they knew of another fish,
known to the English speaking people
as the electric cat (fish), to the Germans
as the zittel wells, or the shad that
makes one tremble. 1t grows to length
Of about foot, Of which the head and
nose take up quarter, and at the deep
est part measures more than quarter
of its length.
Just why the modern scientific men
did not know Of this fish before is a
question layman finds it hard to an
swer except that the sucker is bottomy
fish. The old Egyptians probably learned
Va AiiV uOOti, Wutu
some philosopher was meditating over
a mud puddle left by the receding wa
ter. He saw funny fish struggling in
the water, and, out Of desire for
knowledge, reached for the fish and
touched it. If there were any disciples
of the philosopher hard by, they proba-
bly, saw the philosopher act surprising
ly-as the stole Indian did when he got
hold Of galvanic battery. Thereafter
the fish was worshiped, having name
which associated it with the thunder
god Of the skies, although the ancients
knew nothing Of electricity according to
the learned Of today.
A peculiar thing about the various
electrical fish is that should one swim,
even at considerable distance from a
human bather, the bather would know
Of its proximity by an electrical sem
sation, while many Of them have bat
teries actually fit to kill horse ON con-
tact. These fish are far ahead of the HUI
man beings in the matter Of weapons,
"for they stun their prey at great dis
lance in the water"

A Drummer Learned Something That He
Did Not Know Before.
The travelling man: Il never knew
just how colossal chump am until
the other day, when l went out with a
railroad adjuster to settle claim for
damages against his company. An old
farmer had tried to use crossing Just
as locomotive needed it. The result
was that his horses were killed, the
wagon knocked into firewood, the har-
ness scattered for half mile along the
track and his pretty young wife so bro
ken up that she will never walk again.
Well, sir, you should have seen that adj
juster do business. He gave his victim
a big cigar, came out strong on free sill
yer, jollied the farmer into thinking
wheat would bring a big price next sea-
son, invited him to take ride on their
railroad whenever he wanted to and
then slid into business.
1.-THE horses, harness and wagon were
discussed, and valuation was agreed
upon. The farmer was then ready to
sign a receipt in full, but the adjuster
knew his business, and, after throwing
the old man into commissions with a
few good stories, suddenly suggested, as
though it had just come to his mind,
that it would be too bad not TO pay
something for the pretty wife, who was
doomed to spend the rest of her years in
bed. The farmer would be 'gol burned
if he'd thought of that, but guessed $25
was not too high q figure. He was iol-
lied down to $15, and when we made
our escape l was blushing from tip to
tip.
ION the way back that fellow began
talking about investing some money
with him in little scheme of his. L
just made sure that my watch and pock-
etbook were still with me, jumped over
the front wheel and walked five miles
to the city. If I'm ever wrecked Oh a
railroad, what's left of me will have a
man with gun to keep adjusters

Their Moneys Worth.
In lower Broadway there are quick

midday for light meal. At these places
men, without removing hats or outer
coats, sit ON high stools at higher coun-
| tiers or stand in front of Bullets and
help themselves to the food arranged for
their convenience. Women are seldom
seen in these rooms, but occasionally a
slight sensation is caused among patrons
and walters by their appearance.
While Twas seated at one of the coun-
tiers the other day two women with sew
en- packages of various sizes entered and
while five score or more of eyes were on
them stepped up to the counter. and

waiter answered the question by rat
