India is said TO have been trans
formed within the last generation from
a lotus-cating agricultural land, living
in the historic past, to a country where
manufactures take an active lead,
whose cotton goods are riyaling those
OF Manchester in eastern bazars, whose
trade in jute is worldwide and whose
teas are fast driving those of China and
Japan from the markets of the world.
The tea districts Of India ard Ccylon,
whose names even were unknown but Il
short time ago, Gre now being rapidly
populated by heterogeneous collcc-
ton Of people and are beginning to hold
for the races of the east something the
same position as that held by America
for the peoples of Europe. They are
regions where people OF different
tongues, often in their own countries
hostile to each othcs, are thrown to-
gether for the first time and arc har-
monized by a community OF interests
and finally welded into one race, speak

TIE LIFE OF a CLAM.
Curious Scmiparasitic Existence oil
the DiYNlVe.

the Diynlvc.
The CLAIMS body is completely en-
shrouded in the mantle, except for two
openings, through one of which the
foot can be pushed out. The other
is for the siphon, or what is commonly
known as the meek" Of the clam. In
some respects the clam may be better
off than we are, for he has little brain
in his foot and also gland for secret
ing strong fibers. With this lie spins
a byssus by which he can attach him
self to whatever he likes. lie does not
seem to have to search for food, but
waits for it to come to him. lie makes
a burrow in the mud or sand, attach
ing himself to the bottom by the bys-
sus. Then he thrusts his siphon up
through the mud and water until it
reaches the surface. The siphon is
made up of two tubes, the water fiow
ing in through one and out through the
ether.

with minuteplantsand animals, reaches

ed out and retained for food, while the
water and waste matter flow out
through the other tube.
The CLAIMS eggs are carried by the
mother OH her gills. When there are
fish in the water with them the mother
clam discharges the eggs, which soon
hatch, but If there are 10 fish they
carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason of this strange behavior is this:
When the eggs are set free in the wa
ter, they soon hatch, and the little ones
swim about until they find some fish to
which to attach themselves. They

is as much as poor plant-makers should
be spread apart in the row at the start.
Next, for Il heavy yield, we want the
heavy yiclders. Among them, Wartield
was found to be at the head. Alton is
much like it. Warfeld has a good leaf
and very firm berry. Hayerland is
one of the best for home cultivation.
Rubach was the 18th, and Crescent the
goth, in the order of Ec2t y!elders.
IIaverland was found at the head in
general health and power to resist rust.
Among the perfect Towering sorts
chose named all being pistiilates),
Saunders was found first in productive
ness and vigor. Prof. Hutt prefers to
grow the imperfect and perfect bloom
ers in alternate rows, in order to insure
full fruit setting and therefore best
yield. The question is what varieties
to plant together. Haverland was the
first to shTw bloom. Van Deman,
perfect-lq 4ring sort, is also an early
bloomer, and might be used to furnish
pollen for the other. Lovetts Early
and Candy bloom soon after these, and,
in pinch, might be used for the same
purpose. Haverand and Wartield are
among the earliest to give ripe fruit.
Rio stands second in the list, although
it stands Add in the ORDER of yield.
Michcl's Early stands third for early,
and gives a large yield for an early
sort, but the fruit is small and soft.
Warfeld stands fourth for earliness,
md is the great berry for the west, and
for heavy land and plenty Of moisture,
but seems not so good for light, dry
soils. Among the latest varieties, Prof.
Hutt mentioned Edgar Queen, Equinox
and Mrs. Cleveland. - T. Greiner, in

snap is factor to be guarded against.
A cellar can be made frost-proof by lay
ing single wall of brick inside the
underpinning, leaving on air space be-
tween the bricks and the outer wall, but
this is somewhat expensive. An easier
and cheaperwayis to nnt up some short
studs just inside the underpinning, and
to nail upon these thin matched boards,
down to a point little below the
ground on the outside of the cellar
wall, leaving an air space as shown in
the illustration. Fruit will then be out
of danger from low temperature out

West, says: Every effort is made by
the attempt to relieve American citi-
zens and to confuse the issue. The
Union Constitutional insists that the
$4,000 was voted by congress at the
request of New York business men to
protect American citizens here Late
reports of the senate speeches indicate
that there is fear in the United
States that the American consuls here
will be in danger when it is known
that their reports will have thoroughly
exposed General Weyler's methods and
the emptiness of his announcements of
paciflcation. The conSuls here are not
a bit alarmed.
Consul General Lees stirring report
is only a confirmation of earlier reports
which he sent to Mr.. Olney. His ground
has always been that the Spanish
showed no indication of being able to
crush the Instruction. 1t is true that
Consul General Lee made no personal
attack on General Weyler, but he was
outspoken with regard to the results
which General Weyler has achieved.

The report that train blown up by
dynamite at Sengo, near Santiago de

Cheyenne, Wyo., May 2f.-The Chey-

panic tonight and many persons mar
rewlys escaped serious 4hjury. The
kaleidoscope was billed To reproduce he

500 people filled the opera house. The
pictures were dismal failures, the ma
chine only casting faint shadows on the
canvas. The audience began TO howl
and demand a return of the money. AZ
ter the sixth round of the contest had
been shown, and the people having
failed to distinguish a single object on
the canvas, wild rush was made for
the box office. For time the demands
of the excited mob from the lower
house were satisfied. but when soldiers
and others from the galleries came
down and began shouting pushing

Protecting Their Subjects.

New York, May PA dispatch to
the Journal from Havana says: In a
demand recently made upon Spain
through the Venezuelan consul, Presi-
dent Crespo's government insists that
citizens of that republic residing in
Cuba shall in case of arrest on Doliti-
cal charges, be accorded equal privi-
leges with citizens of the United States
here. including exemption from trial
by military tribunals and assurances
of a speedy judgment by civil courts.
Venezuela claims this right under
the favored nation clause in her own
treaty with Spain, and the point has
been allowed. r
New Mexico is understood to be
pressing Madrid and Havana authori-
ties to have her citizens here accorded
the same privileges. One Trujilo, a
Venezuelan, recently arrested as a
political suspect, was released yester-
day at the demand of Consul Punango
on condition that he, have Spanish ter
ritory.
Private advices from Caracas in
dictate that President Crespo stands
ready to follow suit in case the Wash
ington government should finally re-
cognize the belligerency rights of the
Cubans. Indeed it was whispered here
tonight that a vessel was formally
cleared from Maracaibo some DAYS ago
for the rebel port of Ranes in eastern
Cuba, loaded with arms and munitions
for Calizto Garcia's army.

terror. Harmless and unarmed Chi
nese peasants working upon the big
sugar estates in the central provinces
have been nlacheted and left dead in
the field, simply because they did not
take IN arms voluntarily for Spain.
There are instances where goods have
been arbitrarily taken and no payment
offered. The news received here from
Antonio DuDochet, rich Chinese mer-
chant. controlling a dozen or more
trading posts in Matanzas province.
that his establishment at the town of
Vieja Bermaia had been sacked by
Captain Uruquina, commanding the
Spanish guerillas, and that mis- clerk in
charge, who had dared TO complain

from the Chinese foreign Office TO de-
mand immediate reparation and apol-
ogy.
Accompanied by his secretary and
Interpreter, all in their official robes,

expressed his admiration of he French
people and gave his opinion of the re-

treaty. Mr.. Eustis. said:
My four years residence IN France
has afforded me a very favorable o.
portunity of studying French fns.i.u-
tions, and it has been an ir,-e.,ccrin.-
study, as it has enabled me TO con-
trast the working of a republican gov
eminent in France and the cons1itu-
tlonal government in the United States.
There are some points of dissimilarity.
They are called sister republics. tut
as TO fundamental principles they are
not very closely related. In advocacy
OF personal liberty, France has never
produced a single great man. the fact
being that no matter how ardent a re-
publican a F'renchman NAV be, and
how great may have been his devotion
TO political rights of the people, he does
not seem able to form the slightest con-
ception of what are known in England
and the United States as the funda-
mental rights of personal liberty They
made revolution to destroy one has
tile, but they have many today upon
the republican soil of France, owing to
their system of arbitrary arrests. de-
tentfons and perquisitions which exist
only under the most autocratic form of
government To an American such a
system would render life intolerable.

no one seems to consider 1t sufficiently
important to protect the personal lib

idea in the first place that the intelli-
gent processes of diplomacy are mad

the two governments; and, secondly.
that the an1icable process of special
arbitration will not be resorted to when
diplomacy fails. Both of these assumD-
