COMFORTS TIL CABINET
CSigned)

Washington. July 12.-At the cabinet
meeting today kilograms from General
Shafter were read and discussed but no
new plan OF campaign was considered or
important orders given. General Shat
ter's report that he had the city of San
tiago completely invested was received
with much satisfaction, as there had been
some apprehension that the Soaniards
were contemplating night evacuation.
Secretary Alger, on leaving the cabinet
meeting. said that although General Shat
ter's line on the west was thin in places
he had no doubt that II was sufficiently
strong to repel any attack the enemy
was capable of making at this time. II
was the secretary's opinion that the
Spaniards were now completely cut of
from outside aid and II was now only a
question of prompt surrender or a fight
which would result in their capture. 1t
was Secretary Ayers opinion as well as
that OF other cabinet me noe-s that the
Spaniards would surrender rather than
take the risks of a general assault.

Brer Hare and de Eleaphant.

Once n hare and an elephant were such
friends that they called each other broth

A mischief making fox told the elephant
that the hare sad some mean things about
him, so he got very angry and called
the hare a Sneaking little orchard robber
and garden thief Then the same old foX
told what the elephant said. and the mare
broke into laugh and replied: "Humph!
! don't mind what that beast says, 1of
he is nothing but n great hog with over
grown snout and tusEs" When the ele-
phant heard this he was so mad that he
snurtcd around and paved the earth Ike
a wild
Then he went to the terrapin and said;
of you VIII help me catch that little ras-
cal | VIII make YOU rich,
Old terrapin poked his head out of his
shell, blinked his eyes and answered; Go
and get in your bed, pretend you are dy-
ing, then that you are dead and then, II |

reach of your trunk. you may XIII me for

The elephant went and laid down under
q tree, pretending TO be very Ill. After
awhile he pretended to be dead, ana the
many animals around his said: Poor
Brcr Elephant, he is dead and gone
That same day Brer Hare was in his
house, and. seeing the terrapin come up,
he said: Good morning, Br'"r Terraplh,
what's all the news with your?
Old terrapIn did not speak. but burst
out crying: Boo hoo! Boo-hoo"
Then Bror Hare said: what is the mat

so"'
Don't you know, Br'er Hare? why

Artificial Diamonds.

About a century ago the great
French chemist, Lavoisier, learned that
the wonderful gem known as the dia-
mond is really composed of the same
material as charcoal, namely carbon.
At once it was suggested that it might
be possible to make diamonds out CT
coal. But most chemists secuted the
idea-the diamond was a natural min
eral and natures processes could not
be duplicated in the laboratory. Re-
Gently, however, M. Moisson has taken
up the subject, and has actually sue
ceeded in making true diamonds in
his forge. The gems thus manufactured
are very small, it is true, but the prin-
ciple has been found, and who can
doubt that it's application will be OK
tended until gems of any desired size
are made at will? 1t would be nothing
surprising If within the next genera
tion or two diamonds equal to the fin
est jewels were to be turned out from
factories by the ton, and sold at so
many cents an ounce, instead of SO
many dollars a carat.

Electric Light Blindness.

~
Several cases Of blindness from cleo
trio lights nave been reported. One
was a stoker ON ship board, who suf-
fered great agony. He walked the
floor, holding his hands to his eyes and
moaning. The tears literally poured
from his eyes. Under treatment he
soon recovered, when he gave his ply
stefan the following facts: One after
noon he stood for the space of about
three minutes looking at an electric
drill, which was being used to drill
holes in a steel plate. He was stand
ing about So or 40 feet from the drill.
At the moment he observed nothing
unusual, but when he returned to his
work he had peculiar sensations in his
eyes, and everything looked as though
covered with gold. This state of things
continued for some time when he
turned in and went to sleep. Three
hours later he woke up in great pain,
which did not subside until cocaine was
applied. Another case was also a stok-
er, who looked at a drill and expert
enced the same peculiar conditions as
to color, all things being a clear golden
yellow. The surgeon declared the con
dition to be akin to snow blindness, but
said that the intense irritation of the
nerves brought this state of affairs
about. 1t is claimed that a number Of
cases of this kind have occurred in
dock yards when electric drills were
first introduced, the men standing
about and looking on as a matter of
curiosity.
