The Cnpe Penguin.

The cape penguin is very popular at
the Cape of Good Hope and the Falk-
land Islands. From the extraordinary
sound it produces while ON shore it is
called the jackass penguin. Darwin
gives the following interesting account
of this bird: "In diving, its little
plumeless wings are used as fins, but
on the land, as front legs. When
crawling lit may be said ON four legs)
through the tussocks, or on the side
of n grassy cliff, it moved 30 very
quickly that it might easily have been
mistaken for n quadruped. When at
sea and fishing it comes to the surface
for the purpose of breathing, with
such spring, and dives again so in
simultaneously, that 1 defy anyone at
first sight to be sure that it is not a
fish leaping for sport"
These birds feed their young in q
very singular manner. The parent
bird gets on hillock, and apparently
delivers n very impassioned speech for
few minutes, at the end Of which it
lowers its head and opens its beak.
The young one, who has been patient
auditor, thrusts it's head into the open
beak of the mother and seems to suck
its subsistence from the throat of the
parent bird. Another speech is i'm
mediately made and the same process
repeated, until the young is salts fed.
This penguin is very courageous,
but utterly destitute of the better part
of courage-discretion; for it will
boldly charge at man just as Don
Quixote charged the windmills, and
with the same success, as few blows
from stick is sufficient to lay a dozen
birds PROSTATE. e.-Detroit Free Press.

Marie A. Millie tells n number OF
"Stories of Elephants" in st. Mich
olas. The author says:
The prime minister of Nepal with
the court were at that time in holy
Hardwar, in order to bathe in the
sacred Ganges, and perform their pill
grimage to the "Hur Ki Pyree," or
''Steps to Heaven" and for their ben
eft the elephants were made to go in
procession through the sacred town.
Can any child picture procession
of hundred and fifty tame elephants
in single file, headed by Bill, and
with Narain bringing up the rear? II
was truly grand sight. They covered
mile and quarter of road, and were
as orderly as soldiers in n marching
regiment. Through the town they
marched, each beast in its place, in no
way disconnected by the populace, or
by the screaming children, who joined
in singing their nursery rhymes at
each turn of the road. They think
that Guneshin, the god of wisdom, has
his existence in an elephants body,
and SO they venerate the colossal
beast immensely. Their little voices,
pitched at the highest, sang out the
couplet:
Elephant, o elephant! give us hair Of your
tail!
Or, instead thereof, sword Of goldl
1t was n quaint, queer sight The
old town with its mosques and
minarets; the ''sacred stairs of
Vishnu," leading down to the blue
waters edge; the priests on the steps
in gay sulphur-colored garments, feed
ing the sacred fish, while the sacred
monkeys were swarming everywhere,
swinging from branch to branch of
the trees, feeding on the house-tops,
screaming and playing. Below
marched undisturbed the imposing
procession of elephants, all bent on
obedience, and vending their way re-
gardless of all distractions.

A River on Fire.

The newspapers tell of remark
able display at town on the Caspian
sea duringa visit of the Russian grand
dukes. The governor of the town
had conceived the idea of greeting the
guests with "a sea of fame Ac-
cordingly he poured quantity of
naphtha on the water, where it spread
out over an area of several miles.
After dark the inhammatory volcano
was ignited and the blush flames
swept away in all directions over
the dark waters of the sea. 1t was a
striking and impressive sight, and yet
it was by no means new.
Nearly every week our own despised
Chicago river becomes "a sea of
fames," but few people take the
trouble of being on land to see the
display. On the upper stretches of
the river, near Bridgeport, where the
water grows foul from the accumula-
ton of masses of sewage certain
highly inhammable gas is generated,
and it rises in great quantities from
the water in the form of bubbles. 1t
is a favorite sport of the tugmen and
of others who visit that stretch of the
river to touch match to the gas and
watch the flames shoot away in every
direction over the water. The fire
lasts only few seconds, but the dis
play is brilliant while it continues.
And strange rs it may seem, the fire

than once to extinguish the blazing

THE NEW JAPAN.

American jingoists who delight in
picturing the land of the mikado as
an aggressive nation, going about with
a chip on it's shoulder will find little
to encourage their view in the article
on THE New Japan which Minister
Hoshi contributes to Harper's. There
is in the tone Of the writer nothing
that is boastful or assertive. No stress
is laid upon the growing might of
Japan as military power, and the tri
umphs of the recent war of the Oriental
empires are passed over without a
word 1t is the victories of peace that
are exploited; and, if there is a note of
pride in the story of the rise of the
new power, it may be readily excused.
In fifty years Japan has seen a social,
political and economic evolution more
rapid than anything which Europe or
even America can show. Half a cen
fury ago Japan was where Europe had
stood in the closing days of the feudal
period. Today in most respects Japan
stands side by side with the modern
powers of the world in material adj
vancement and in progressive spirit.
1t is to this phase Of the growth of
his native land that the ambassador
directs his attention. Nor is his feel
ing one of unmiXed congratulation, for
at the same time there is expressed
a plain appreciation of the RESPONSE
bilities which Japan is about to as
sumo in it's new relations with the rest
of the world For the first time in
history the Christian powers have rec
Ognized, in their treaty relations, an
Oriental nation upon terms of perfect
equality. In the new treaties about to
go into effect, Japan is not only given
control of it's own affairs in every de-
tail, free from foreign interference, but
the lives and rights of Christian sub
jects resident in the country are en-
trusted to it's sense of right and JUS
tice. The Orient in the person of ia
pan is on trial before the Christian
world, and to the minister this fact is
important before all else as rejecting
the history of the country and as af-
fecting it's future status.
In assuming these responsibilities ia
pan, it is asserted, depends most upon
America for support and sympathy.
This view, and the honest sincerity
with which it is expressed, accord in
no degree with the ideas of those who
hold up Japan as a menace to America
Accepting the assurance Of one best
can view the progress of Japan with
pride and not with fear. History links
the two nations in the past, and the
growth of the weaker only brings them
nearer together

has taught them would be inflicted if
they laid bare the facts AS far as
saltwater is concerned, the accessories
to make this investigation a farce have
been arranged. That they will not be
permitted to perfect this evil work, we
have confidence in the commission it
self to believe.
The holding of future sessions in st.
Paul and Minneapolis is an essential
and vital point of any fair and full in
curry AS we have already shown,
even there, the presence of a paid at
torney for the prison people is a con-
fession of4weakness on their part, and
a most improper attempt to limit and
suppress the truth by shutting in this
investigation within the narrow limits
prescribedB by 8the technical rules of
evidence in law courts. Even with this,
however, they cannot escape the over
whelmfng weight of evidence that has
been published in our columns. if it is
allowed to. be presented 1t will be
offered to- the committee at sessions
in these two cities, away from the
malarial atmosphere of the prison and
cut of reach of the baleful influences
there set at work upon every man who
volunteers himself within their reach.
There is no escape from the facts that
have been set forth. The press and
the people of this state, with wonder
full unanimity and a noble Indifference
to party lines, have heard the evidence
already, and their minds are made up.
To them the case is already establish
ed. 1t will be established beyond the
possibility of a doubt to the mind of
every honorable and intelligent man,
if this investigation is made what it
processes to be-a full and fair and
free one. To that end it must not be
limited to the location suggested by
the governor, after conference with the
prison authorities, in the city of Still
water, where it is known in advance
uninfuenced testimony is hard to get,
and where large number of witnesses
will not go.
These men, who are to tell the cruel
ty that they have seen or felt, are not
rich. They cannot hire lawyers, nor
can they give up the honorable occupa-
tons which they have found in order
to go over to Saltwater and wait there,
at their own expense, for some days
or weeks, while. the investigation is in
progress. We understand that the
committee will determine to have sit
tings in these cities, if it has not al
ready done so. Thus far it. will disar-
range the Carefully laid scheme of the
prison people, It is its duty to make
it possible for the witnesses, whose
names and statements will be placed
in its possession, to come before it
freely and tell what they know. Our
opinion of the members of this COM
mission is such that we have not the
slightest doubt they will set their faces
like rock against the now obvious pur-
pose to turn their labors into a fruit
less farce.

reign in Maryland politics has been
long one. Had he used his power wise
ly and honorably, not only would he
have been senator from Maryland to
the end of his days, but the Demo-
cratic party itself would now be in
possession of undisputed power; and
this country of ours would be in the
very vanguard of the nations, with a
low tariff tending to free trade and
sound currency system. Going back to
Mr. Cleyeland's first administration, to
the scandals cast upon it by German
and his man Higgins; coming down to
the second administration and placing
upon German the responsibility that be-
longs to him of tearing to tatters the
pledges made by the Democratic party
to the people and frustrating. the wise
policy of the administration, we have
q career devoted solely to personal am

party honor and success.
The voters of Maryland, rock-ribbed
in Democracy. as they are, would have
no more of it. They have confirmed
the Republican party in power and
given it majority of the legislature,
not because Maryland is any more a
Republican state than it has been for
the last thirty years, but because they
have done with German His head has

still hangs suspended by a thread
Platt's armor is so much more impen-
etrable that the people have only thus
far succeeded in unhorsing him, and
not in reaching vital point Soon or
late they will do it, One thing for
which we can depend upon the Amer
lean people is to overthrow the boss
and bossism. They are not discrimi-
mating about it. They do not choose
alternatives wisely always, but they
who long ago rejected the tyranny of
a monarch will not sit down quietly
under the incOmparably meaner and
more despicable tyranny of the politi-
cal boss. 1t is something to be thank
full fOr-this growth of independence
and this certainty that, whatever other
disappointments may be in store for
the political reformer, he can always
have a certain assurance that the boss
must go.

SPECIALS FROM THE kIoyD1Kr

the next year, they will be furnished
with a series of letters from a CORE
spondent, engaged by it especially for
this purpose, detailing the rush of gold
seekers to Alaska and the progress of
the development of the Yukon country.
Interesting as the disclosures concern
ing the resources and future of the
Klondike have been, they are nothing
as compared with what the next twelve
months are certain to see. The terrors
Of the Chiikoot and White passes, the
long sea voyage and longer waiting by
the st. MichaeIs route before the Yu-
ken breaks UP in the spring have held
in check the torrent of emigration that
set in at the close of the summer
months. 1t is not stilled, however, but
only damned up and awaiting an out
let in the spring. 1t will then burst
all bonds, and there will be such an
exodus to the gold fields of Alaska as
no previous discovery or excitement
has ever witnessed. We believe that
not less than 100000 people will find
their way into Alaska during the spring
and summer of next year and scatter
over it's mighty expanse in search of
the gold-bearing deposits
An event so great and so interesting
as this cannot be covered bv the ordi
nary sources of news information, and

rangement that has been under way
for some time to secure special letters
for the benefit of its readers on the

Mrs. Eastman alleged cruel ard in

granting her divorce, while her hus-
band, in his answer. charged Mrs.
Eastman with a violation of her mar
riage vows.
Judge Lewis finds that the material
allegations of the complaint and an
swer were not sustained by the evil
dence, and that neither party is en-
titled to a divorce. Both plaintiff and
defendant. the court says, subjected
each other to annoyances. These an
noyances were aggravated by repeti-
ton, and at times they developed
into acts of personal assault and VIC
lence in which both participated with
