STILL
Conferees Make Some Progress
Toward Agreement on Import
ant Schedules,
But the Time of Final Disposition
Of the Tariff Bill Is Still
Remote.
Caucus Of Senators May Be Held.
Pine and Lead Rates Agreed
Upon.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE tariff
conferees find themselves apparently
less certain than at any previous time
as to the date when they will reach a
final agreement, though protesting to
hope that the time will soon come.
They are gradually disposing of one
problem after another, but still have
several left upon which there are such
marked disagreements as to justify no
predictions as to the result. Two of the
questions which, it is stated upon good
authority, have been decided recently,
are those affecting lead ore and white
pine lumber. The senate schedule OH
lead ore is retained, while white pine
carries the house late of 81 per thou.
sand.
An Effort at Reconsideration.
There is, however, most active effort
in the senate to force reconsideration on
this point, and this effort is being made
on the Republican side of the chamber,
even more persistently than on the
Democratic side. There is even at this
early date, talk among Republican sen.
ators OF the probable necessity for an
other caucus to determine the course to
be pursued with reference to the con-
ference report. There are several SEN
ators on that side Of the chamber who.
it is feared, will vote against sustaining
a report which increaoes the pine duty,
and who claim that they cannot be
bound by the action Of former caucuses
which devoted their attention simply to
schedules. There is a similar feeling in
regard to the restoration of floor mat
ting and burlaps to the dutiable list, the
Northwestern Republican senators be.
ing generally interested in keeping them
free.
With reference to the articles placed
on the free list by the senate contrary to
the recommendation of the finance com.
mittee, the understanding about the
senate is that a compromise is likely to
be reported placing a very moderate
duty on them. The Democrats say,
however, that no duty likely to be agreed
upon in a Republican conference will be
small enough for them to accept upon
cotton bagging, cotton ties, etc.

DOGS IN WAR.
How the st. Bernard Ministers to tins
Wounded Russian Soldier.

In tho present day the British army
eeems the only one in which dogs are
not trained either as spies, messengers
or TO help the wounded. The Germans,
French, Austrians, Russians and ltal-
ians hayo all found them to be worth
the trouble. The Germans have devoted
themselves chiefly to the training OF
dogs for carrying messages to and from
outposts and pickots and the main bodies
Of troops. For this purpose they find
pointers are tho best, but Scotch sheep
dogs and short haired sporting dogs arc
much liked, as are also the clever little
Pomoranians. which learn very quickly
and are worry strong aud swift In tho
German army the best trainers are tho
men Of the jaeger regiments, and a spe-
cial officer and q special body OF men
are told of to look after the dogs They
are taught to march without frisking
about, to avoid barking, but, with their
wonderfully quick err to warn if stran-
gers are near, By pointing or by "a low
growl. They ato trained to carry mes
suges up to 2l6 miles by known roads,
and beyond that distance TO find their
own way across country. ~ Iltu III t4lu

In the Russian army kind Of big st.
Bernard mastiH is used; also wolf and
sheep dogs. These, equipped with n
flask containing brandy or soup ahd n
packet OF bandascs hung round their
necks, are taught TO find ont the wound
cd lying among bushes or uneven ground
and to offer them restoratives, standing
meanwhile with their forefeet planted
and barking to attract attention. They
are even harnessed to little handcarts,
such as we see them use in Belgian
and German towns, and can drag two
wounded men. The French, in their
wars in Tunis and Algiers, have used
dogs; also the Russians in their last
Turkish war. In Austria they have been
employed to discover ambuscades. The
Dutch in Acheen found them most use
full in preventing solitary sentries in
thick jungle outposts being surprised by
stealthy natives. The Italian sentries in
the Alps are always accompanied by
dogs. United Service Magazine.

FREELY FLASHES.
Tho Method by which the Insect Emit,
Its Beautiful Light,


Its Beautiful Light,
'By what process do flreflies produce
the beautiful flashes of Light" That is
question frequently asked, and az en-.
tomological books fail to give salts
factory reply the following explanation
may be interesting:
have made fpecial study of the
light, and carefully examined the mech
nnism of the illuminating segments in
both male and female specimens. The
light emitted, when tested by the spec
troscope, gives a brilliant spectrum,
which is continuous through all the
colors from the red to tho violet rays.
The illuminating organs consist Of dis
tinct spherical cells, each one OF
which is about 10000 of an inch in
diameter, and the beetle has power to
illuminate one or many Of these cells Mt
will, producing light of corresponding
intensity. The cells contain fluid sat
urated with phosphorus, and the cover
ing of the cell is so thin that atmosphere
coming in contact with it may affect
the contents.
1t has been suggested that the beetle
produces the flashes Of light or renders
the phosphorus suddenly luminous by
eleotrioity--by the injection of warm
fluids-or by friction. But it is certain
that the flash of light is made in an
other way. We may clearly trace con
nection between the spiracles and
trachea (spiral air tubes) of the beetle
and each of the Illuminating cells, and
find that the little creature renders the
phosphorus contained in the cells lumi-
nous by forcing air upon them. Tho cells
when thus excited emit light from their
surface
We may initiate the act of the beetle
by disseoting one and placing the illumi-
mating organ under microscope, COW
cred by thin glass cover When the
cover is lifted so as TO admit little air,
the cells become luminous
We may add that tho name "flrefly''
is misuomer, az the lightning bug
is true beetle belonging in the natural
order caleoptera, and in the family

The value attached by the poor, and
even by those who are not in the depths
of poverty, TO decent surroundings in
family life is a very variable quantity.
Decent lodging is not by any means
universally regarded rs one of the prime
necessaries of life Occasionally it is
relegated TO quite back seat
An instance was given before the
commission of family Of seven per
sons--father, mother two grown up sons
and three grown up daughters-all liv-
ing in one room. With them this ar
rangement was II matter Of choice, not
necessity, for they earned between them
about 81 week, more than 1850 a
year, and even from Stun landlord
they could no doubt have afforded to
rent another room or two, Having
screwed down the item Of rent to an
irreducible minimum, they determined
to have thoroughly good time, and this
is how the witness describes their pro-
ceedings: "In the evening they would
all go out 10 the music halls aud to the
theaters On Saturday afternoon they
would take five tickets each for some
omnibus or conveyance that was going
into the country, and on Sunday they
would go to Brighton aud to Other
places, " 1t is comforting to reflect that
these Arcadian beings were unit.

ure together us well as their maps. II
