Superintendent John b. Smith. of the
Central park menagerie at New York
the Other day found in the rhinocoros
cage his large black cat Snyder, which
had been missing for a week. While
going through the elephant house in
which Smiles, the old rhinoceros, is
kept, Superintendent Smith saw the
missing cat curled up in the hay beside
the big beast. and the rhinoceros was
licking the cats fur with its tongue.
Superintendent Smith watched the pair
for time and tried TO coax the cat
out, but it would not leave Smiles. a
keeper informed him that the two had
struck up q strong friendship in the
past week. ard when the rhinoceros was
asleep the cat would frequently perch
itself on Smiles back and keep watch.
"In its native state" explained Super
intendent Smith, "a bird known to hun
ters as the rhinoceros bird keeps watch
over the rhinocoros when sleeping, and
peclSs at its ears TO arouse it at the APP

Coal from Turf.

Another plan for turning to accoun,
forces Of nature as yet dimly under.
stood is reported from Scandinavia,
where a savant has discovered meth.
cd of converting turf into coal. The
turf is placed in retofts and gradually
heated to go degrees. The retorts are
then closed and the temperature kept
up for seven hours. The tar and gas
products are thus retained in the coal
mass to the extent of 50 per cent, and
the resultant is said to contain 65 per
cent OF carbon. G per cent Of hydrogen,
81 water and 5 per cent Of ashes. Turf
coal gives about the same amount of
heat as seconds. and has been tested
both in Krupp's iron foundry and for
domestic purposes. One thousand kilos
are sold for rs. the cost Of preparing

Greece and the Greeks.

The present agitation Of the Greek
question has increased the interest Of
the public in ali matters pertaining to
the classic country. One Of the sub
jects which has caused widespread
wonder Is how the modern Greek SOL
dier gives such a ballet-like effect to
his skirts. A traveller In that country
has offered the following as an ex-
planation: Instead Of wrapping his
kilt about him only once the man OF
arms envelOps his figure with turn
after turn Of the stiff white linen, till
the required degree Of stand-out effect
is reached, and his shirt is on a level
with his waist. This same traveller re-
marks upon the curious effect of incon-
sistency that Is evident when visitor
to one Of the beautiful old ruins finds
himself gazing on only plaster cast
Of the classic buildings and structures,
while a placard announces that the
original may be seen in the museums
of Europe or America.

Sumner was always stately and dig

Wilson was careless in his language In
ordinary conversation. He often said,
Sumner Is in agony when I rise to
speak in the Senate for fear Massachu-
sets will be disgraced by my bad gram
mar
But, strange to say, careless as Mr..
Wilson was In everyday life, and for
getful as he was of social etiquette and
requirements, he rarely made gram
matical error in his public speeches,
and he commanded as much respect
and attention in the Senate as any man

The Week on the Whole Was Favor.
able for Crops.
The South Carolina Weather and
Crop Bulletin is as follows for the past
week:
The mean weekly temperature aver
aged 80. which is ole degree above the
normal. The first of the week was
comparatively cool followed by e1ces-
sive heat with maximum temperatures
on the "a, 25 and 26 ranging from 100
LOG over the Southeastern counties.
The lowest for the week was IS on the
22nd, at Spartanburg.
The weather was .howery, but hardly
enough rain fell generally for the need
Of crops, in many places none, and in a
few too much. Thirty-one weekly meas
urements amounted to less than one
inch; thirteen from one to two inches
and three over two inches with 2. 20 as
the largest amount, at Trial. The av-
erage Of forty nine reports was 0. 1S and
the approximate normal for the week ls
1.31.
In Clarendon, Spartanburg and Edge
field fields were washed by heavy
rains.
Severe local storms, of wind, rain
and hail, doing more or less injury to
corn, cotton and tobacco, in few in
stances running entire fields, occurred
in Clarendon, Spartanburg, Anderson,
Aiken, Edgeheld, Darlington, Rich
land, Bamberg. karshaw, Sumter,
Berkeley, OrangebuYg and Charleston.
The extreme Northeastern and North
western counties were free from local
storms.
The sunshine varied greatly In DIFF
ferent portions of the State, but the
average Of all reports indicate about o
normal per centage of the possible du-
ration.
The week on the whole was favorable
for the development of crops, which
made satisfactory advance except where
injured by wind, hail and wet soil.
Much mention by correspondents is
made of grass in fields, but qualified
generally by the statement that the
weather favored killing grass.
Corn is being rapidly laid by in good
condition except that stands are irregu-
La and that over considerable areas
throughout the entire State rain il
needed. It is more promising than at
any time this season. Some fields were
injured by high wind breaking down
the larger stalks, and by excessive heat
curling the leaves during the day.
Cotton has begun to blossom freely
over the eastern counties, and squares
are plentiful everywhere although the
plant is small for the season. In por-
tions of Berkeley, Kershsw, Chester
field, Chester the ground is too wet for
cotton and the plant deteriorated. Many
fields are becoming foul with grass, but
not enough 80 to materially injure cot
ton. The stand is very even and growth
during the week was good. Commenced
laying by in sections.
Sea-lsland variety above an average
condition for the season. Is blooming
and fruiting we'll.
Tobacco has improved generally.
Is buttoning low, and shows frogs
eve" in places. Has detriorated and
condition poor in Kershaw. Is ripen-
ing permaturely and some was cured
during the week.
Rice is doing we'll. Pess we're e1.
tensively sown and coming mp to good
stands. Sweet potato slips growing
we'll. Sugar cane excellent Yegeta-
bles abundant. Melons will be shipped
from Barnewell this week; this crop

Board Of Health to Investigate.

Governor Ellerbe last week acted
upon the finding and recommendations
of the court of inquiry by issuing the
following order:
The report and recommendations, to-
gethsr with the record of the proceed
ines Of the court of inquiry, consisting
Of Brigadier- General Joseph L. Stop
petbein, Col. J. G. Wardlaw and Capt.
Henry T. Thompson, appointed BY
general order from this Office, has been
duly considered.
The report of the court Of inquiry and
record of its proceedings will be at the
proper time transmitted to the General
Assembly for such action as that body
may deem proper with reference TO the
: sdjutant and inspector genera, who Is
IN this State constitutional officer.
And Il is ordered:
/. That Private Fishburne, OF the
RlcAland Y olunteers be discharged from
the military service of the State.
q That the captain Of the Richlsnd
Volunteers publish an order repri-
manding Private Dunning OF said COM
pany for leaving ranks without per-
mission.
8 The court of inquiry having COM
pleted the duties assigned, II is hereby
disSolved
5 The commander in chief desires to
sxrSSss high appreciation OF the COM
plete and careful manner IN which che
court has performed its duty.
Governor Ellerbe was asked his
reasons for approving Of every recon-.
mendation of the court save that Of
Yeprimanding General Watts. To this
he replied that while he approved the
s courts sctiou in its entirety, he did not
think he should attempt to reprimand
General Watts as he was constltu-
) tional officer responsible only to the
electors. General Watts duties were
defined BY law and it was not provided
that should he prove derelict to his
duties that he should be reprlmanded
by anyone other than the people or by
them through their representatives.
The governor felt that he would have
% much right to reprimand the attorney
I general, Secretary Of State or any other
official as to reprimand General Watts.
e. Governor Ellerbe did not express
himself just as above, but this Is the
idea which he wished understood.
