IT irregular.

Washington, D. c., April S-The navy
department received today but one bid
in answer to the advertisement calling
for proposals for supplying about 5000
tons of armor for the three battleships
Illinois, Wisconsin and Alabama, and
this one was so irregular in form as to be
far wide Of the advertisement.
The single bid was from the Illinois
Steel company Of Chicago, and it pro-
posed to supply the 5000 tons of armor
desired at $500 per ton OH condition that
it be given tWenty-year contract to
supply all of the naval armor In such
case the remainder of the armor beyond
the 5000 tons would be supplied at $240
per ton. The armor was to be paid for
in gold coin.
An alternative proposition CON
templatesd the erection of an armor
plant by the government and it's supply
with steel by the Illinois company. No

ELECTRIC SPARKS.

The speed of telegraphy has been grad ually inoueasing for many years, and to- day one transmitter enables 300 to 500 words minute to be sent over a Nine. This is ecllpsed by new invention, the synchro onograph, the method of which consists in sending an alternating cur rent over the wire and cutting out cer- tain of the waves or half-waves. It is possible to make from bcth ends of the wire and send four messages at once.
 An elctric railway oh the rocky beld of the sea from Brighton to Rolbtingdean, a distance of three miles, has besn opened The line is ent1ue1y covered by sea at high water; with a spring tide by as much as 15 feet of water. A yacht-like car capable Of holding 115 passengers, is propelled by electric power collected on the 'ttrolley" system from an overhead wire. The ear is supported by four tubular steel legs each leg rlssting on a small four-wheeled truck running on parallel rails bearing the car at a height of "A feet above the Line. The cost has been about $5O,OOO mile.
 Trials are at present being made in Paris of what will undoubtedly prove to be the fastest engine in the world. It is an elctric engine and has been built by the Compagnie de fOuest. The first trial took place the other day between the stations of the Champ de Mars and Acheries. The engine La Fuseet which was built by the same company some time ago, and which made such astound- ing trial runs between Paris and Rouen, covered the ground at the rate of 120 ki1ometers an hour-about seventy-four miles. Certain technical difficulties, however, could not be overcome and La Fusee was never put into regular service. It appears that these difficulties have been got over in the new engine, which will at least equal, if not exceed, the speed of La Fusee. It's length is nineteen yards and its weight 122 tons. Like a man-of-war, 1t is furnished in front with a sort of rammer, which cuts the air. Two dynamos and a motor are installed under the roof that shelters the driver. The appe arance of this leviathan in steel and brass IS formidable and imposing, and the inventor MT. Heilmann. seems lo have made q success of his system.

Restless Europe.

Several European nations are in very bad humor, and they will come to blows before long. Turkey wants her war in- demnity from Greece, but Russia has notified her that if she collects it she must pay her old debt to the government at St. Petersburg. While digesting this proposition, Austria forced the sultan to back down in the most humiliating fash ion in the Messina affair
 France and England are on the verge of war in Africa, though the British have troublesome war on their hands in India Spain is half ready to pick a quarrel with the United States at any time
 other day a German war vessel shelled a town in New Guinea. Later, German vessels captured town in China. But the worst piece of German insolence was in Hayti. It seems that a German namsd Leuders made an unprovoked assault upon a cab driver, for which he was sentenced to years imprisonment and a fine of 800 francs. The German minister intruded into the private apart ments of the president and demanded the release of Leuders, $1, 900 per day for each days imprisonment, or 5000 per day if not released in twenty-four hours; the dismissal of the judge who tried Leuders and the trial of the police who arrested him. Upon the refusal of the president the minister announced that Germany would send three war ships to enforce his demand. At the request of the American representative the president released L udars but expelled him from the country, and the matter is now to be laid before the German government.
 With such capers and so many threats of war, it goes without saying that there will be big row before long.
 When the trouble comes it is to be hoped that this country will furnish SUD- plies for the combatants and exact pay ment at good prices in gold.

AND HE WANTED
 TO GIVE UP THE GHOST

He dreamed. And he went into a store from whence there came a sweet frag- rance and did enter therein. And he did ask of the keeper of the store for roses, and the keeper did show unto him some strange flowers called American Bouts, which unto the eyes of the Dreamer did seem to be dollar marks on long stems. And he did shut his teeth tight together in sore trouble. He wrote the name of a maiden on card, did request of the keeper to do the rest, and then remind him on the first of the next month of the consequences thereof.
 And his dream changed. And he went unto dealer in fine raiment, and did ask to procure certain costly apparel And the dealer was exceeding glad, and did tell him wherein there were no such other garments as these, no not in Israel, and none that would look more comedy upon him. And he did take the fine garments-to be returned on the mor- row.
 And again he dreamed, and there came to him chariot drawn by two steeds, whose driver was an Ethiop, clad in bright liveries. And the Dreamer was awaiting much bedecked in his costly
 
 dals. But the chariot did appear to him an hearse. And an unseen cord did seem to be tied about his right limb, and he was pulled into the chariot and was driven away like unto the wind. And in the strangeness of his dream there arose before his eyes an enormous symbol shaped as the letter "V."
 And he was driven on rapidly. When, babnId thpra iOinad hfr, ii, tba obo yiot the maids.ss-whose name he had inscrib- ed upon the card and he did assume upon his face a smile. Then the maiden did converse with vigor, and he listened right intently.
 The chariot came unto a house lighted as with many brilllants. And he was loath to leave the chariot and told the driver thereof to tarry until the second hour of the morning. And he and the maiden did enter in at the portals. And there were scores of other men there like unto himself; and maidens In great glee were they. Then they came unto chamber from whence there came the sounds of sweet music and, 10! they did prepare themselves for to dance.
 Whereupon the maiden straightway left him and did dance with other men. And he stood still without moving The maiden returned to him as the butterfly, but straightway left him again. And still he moved not whence he stood, and was very sick at heart. And in his mis- cry he did want to give up the ghost.
 Then the Dreamer awoke, and found that the dream was so monotonously true, that he turned over and refreshs d himself with dream in which he was dead. K. K.

Cities Past and Present.

A few hundred years ago it was thought that no large city could be h althy Queen Elizabeth scolded the lord mayor of London for allowing the city to grow so large. She said that the people were heaped together and half smothered. At that time it's population was only 16O,0OO. In those days the citiss had no good drainage and no wa ter works. Filth was everywhere, epi- denies were common and people died in great numbers.
 Now. everything is changed, and a w sll-regulated town is healthier than the average country neighborhood. In the model cities of the world absolute clean cost, and there is less danger from an epid mic than there would be in a small rural village. But it may be doubted whether the worlds big cities will grow very much larger. Something will at tract population in other directions; dis astrous fires may occur, or earthquakes, cyclones or the ravages of war may  oyerwhelm them. There is no reason to suppose that history will not repeat it. self. Forests and deserts now cover the sites whsre once stood some of the proudest cities of antiquity, and it may be centuries hence, that the same fate will befall our modern communities.
 Macaulays Nv Zealander gazing at the ruins of London bridge, and wonder irg what manner of people once inhab- ited that spot was no idle fancy when viewed in the light of history. Nations rise from savagery to civilization and then go backward. A thousand years from now the descendants of the Amer- can people may be as different from the race of the present day as the modern Italians are from their Roman ancestors who conquer The world.

IN CHERRY BLOSSOM LAID.

Japanese women are very cnuch in evil dence, and have always contrived to be so, even in the old days when they weIe nominaly secluded. No other Asiatic women, with the possible ex- cepton of the Farsi, and Burmsse, go about so much and so frankly as they, They are charming beyond exaggera- tion, though they are not intellectual as a rule, and if woman chances to be she adroi ly coneeals it and makes it subservent to her womanliness. The creed of the women of Japan. according to keen observer, is to fascinate first. last and always.
 The women of Japan are wooed and welded with elaborate and picturesque detail and with dainty ceremonial and good taste While all oriental brides garb themselves in red the Japanese btide chooses white. She is courted much as an American girl is, though the terms of a marriage are arranged through a medium or go-between, always a man. The marriage having been arranged, the bridegroom sends his prospective bride, through tEe mtddle- man, present. Its acceptance seals the contract, and the bride and her parents are in honor bound not to back out. Then the groom show- CTS the bride With presents. He sends her three-score and more prescribed gifts; pieces of silk, just so long, and folded just so garments fashioned just so and carried unfolded on lacquered trays; silleen bags, plump with rice, and others, fat with sWeetmeats, barrels or wine The bride almost always gives her father and mother the barrels or wine. and they drain them (again the ex- quEite Japanese good tasie and good sense comes in) by innocent Japanese thimble-szed cupfuls. ~~
 The bridegroom always sends his bride a long piece of gold embroidery for a marriage girdle," and a piece of white silk, out of which she fashions her wed- ding dress. A Japap-se bridegroom must send to his future parents-ln-law gifts as valuable as he can afford That seems a strange survival in Japan of the once universal marriage by purchase These gifts must be works of art. or choice and delicate vianda-- Again tha Japanese good taste comes in. It refines even unrefinable bribery and corruption
 -the grossest of all bribeifes-lbribsry In the marriage market. The bride sends no betrothal presents. The Japanese pessantry are vulgar in some ways, but the yuigarity of breach of promise case is undreamt of in Japans sooial philosophy. The bride gives no love both costly and symbolic to her husband. tokens which she may wish to recall. But on the wedding day she sends gifts
