Prince Wore a Necklace of Pearls

The conversation given last night by
the East India United Service Club to
meet the Princess and other. Indian
visitors now in England, proved an es-
sentially brilliant function. Crowds
of well-dressed guests lined the stair
case aud filed the large entrance hall,
overshadowed by palms, to witness the
arriva! of the Queens Indian guard,
many of the Hyderabad contingent and
other finely built native soldiers with
n profusion of orders on their breasts.
They were quickly followed by several
OF the Princes; Pertab Singh. was
clad in red and gold striped habit,
with light blue and silver turban, on
which figured a medallion portrait.
His aid-de-camp' was in red and gold,
divided as o short skirt and long
jacket, with black and gold trrban.
With him was another Indian visitor
in a long white, satin coat cut as they
wear them in the East Another.
Prince was arrayed in white satin with
rows of pearls about his neck; long
bar Of diamonds clasping, not the lobe,
but the entire ear, and magnificent,
diamond ornaments glittered on his
soft silky yellow turban. A grand old
nawab's coat was entirely composed of
cloth Of gold, and, with his gray
whiskers curiously tied and large tur-
ban, he lowered above all tho rest.

Asbestos Isupe.

Asbestos formerly in use now has a
formidable competitor in the blue as
bestos of South Africa. The latter is
less than half as heavy, aud furnishes
finer and. longer fibres, which have
been worked into webs bu5 little in
ferior to those made of vegetable fiber,
are absolutely fireproof, and resist
most known chemicals, corrosive va
pors, and atmospheric influences.
A blue asbestos rope, three-fourths
of an inch in diameter, was weighted
at one end with 220 pounds, and ex-
posed to constant flame from large
gas jet, so that considerable portion
of its length was surrounded by fire.
1t only broke after twenty-five hours.
The asbestos rope has only two-thirds
the strength OF new hemp rope, but
as they grow older the proportion
changes in favor of the former, since
it is but little affected by the atmos-
phere. The blue asbestos fiber is
also worked into mattresses for hospi-
tails, which are cooler in summer and
warmer in winter than those of eni-
NAL hair or vegetable fiber. AS an
experiment fremen's apparel is be-
ing manufactured from the fiber

Disease Germs in Soils.

It has been observed in France that
in localities where animals are inter.
red which have died of charbon, tn e
germs of this infectious malady per
sist in the soils for many years, and
that especially when cereal crops ere
cultivated upon such soils, there is
great danger of communicating healthy
cattle with the same disease. In one
case it was observed that many sheep
which we're pastured in field in
which two years before single ami
NAL which had died of charbon was
buried, were infested with the dis
ease and died. In like manner, it is
entirely probably that the germs of
hog cholera may be preserved in the
soil for many years, to finally again
be brought into any activity which
may prove disastrous for the owners
of swine. Every effort should be
made by agronomists to avoid infect
ing the soil by carcasses which are
dead from any zymotic disease.
Cremation is the only safe method
of disposing of such infected carcasses.
The Investigations of scientists have
shown that there are many diseases OF
an. infectious nature due to these
germs, and that these germs may pre-
serve their vitality in the soil. Among
others may be mentioned yellow fever
and tetanus, and the microbe produc-
ing the bubonic plague, which retains
its vitality in the soil, and thus escape
entire eradication. of the

Real Blue Grass.

One of the standing Jokes of the
blue grass region is the fact that ''blue
grass" is green. People who visit the
famous rich grazing country found in
Kentucky are often the subject for
jokes when they want the ''blue
grass" pointed out. But there is q
blue grass, q sample of which can be
foand growing at the Department of
Agriculture, which is rs blue as a
cloudless sky on summer day. 1t is
o native OF the Apache country. 1t
can te found all through New Mexico
and in some of the adjoining States.
It is known rs the Apache blue grass.
1t has broad spear aud grows q
couple Of feet in height. A field
covered with it looks like o lake in
which has been dumped a barrel of
indigo. It is said to be one Of the
most beautiful sights of the southwest
to view great fields of this blue grass.
dotted here and there with howera.
Especial attention has been paid to the
cultivation of q patch of this grass at
the Department of Agriculture, where
it grows luxuriantly, and is one Of the
interesting sights to all visitors to the
grounds of that department.-Wash-
