A PROTEST TO THE WORLD,
Colombia Suspends Diplomatic Rein.
tiOns With Italy.


On inquiry at the Colombian legation
with reference to the suspension OF rela-
tions between Colombia and Italy, the
charge d'affaires made substantially the
following statement:
1T is true that the Colombian govern
nent has passed decree suspending reIa-
tions with Italy. I have not seen the text
that 1t guarantees to Italians the protec-
ton of the laws, and besides that, the Brit
ish legation is charged with protecting
Italian interests in Colombia
This act of the Colombian government
is without doubt the result of popular in
dgnation at the hostile measures adopted d
last summer by the Italian government
with its fleet in Colombian waters on The
pretext of some failure on the part of Co.
lombia fulfilling the award of President
Cleveland in the Cerruti case.
THE Colombian government offered to
Italy to deposit with the United States
$4,000 in gold (more than the whole
amount Of the money award which had
already been paiD as a guarantee for the
satisfaction of any just demands against
her growing out of said award but this
offer was declined by Italy; and the Italian
admiral, with his demonstration of force
insisted that a demand of Italy, not based
on the award should be accepted.
"A weak country has to yield under such
circumstances, but it is not compelled to
run the risk Of another experience OF the
same kind, and 1t is at liberty to suspend
relations with the Italian government as
a protest before the world against what has
already happened and a protection for the
future

The Biggest Oraug.

From the London Mail
The largest captive orang-outang in the
world has just arrived at Liverpool.
The animal stands about five feet three
inches; each arm is five feet long; the
hands measure a foot each, and some of
the fingers are seven inches in length
When arms and hands are extended this
magnificent monkey can stretch ten feet
1t could wrestle with five men at a time,
and the chances that this handsome
specimen OF their ancestors would get the
better of the encounter
The animals face is, of course free from
hair, but the hirsute adornment" on its
head is parted in the center with a neat
ness that suggests that the orang-outang
has just come from the BARRIERS
Judged from mans standard of beauty
the new arrival cannot be said to have an
attractive phySognomy.
The nose is sunk deep in the face. and
the massive top lip is shot out to length
prodlglous even for an orang-outang.
II Is an experience to see the animal
yawn.
When captured the orang-otang was In
the company of baby ape

Made Him Spell.

From Pearson's Weekly.
A Manchester man has set about learning
the use of the typewriter. Up to the pres
ent time he has had somebody to do his
typewriting for him, but now he wants TO
know how to run ii all by himself.
He admits that he isn't an apt scholar
1t comes slowly. The letters are hard to
find, and the spacing is So easily forgotten
But there is one thing that amuses him
He is learning to spell and learning in the
same way he did when a tow-headed boy in
the early sixties.
OF course he could spell when ne tackled
the typewriter. but not in the same way.
Now ne distinctly enumerates each letter,
and does IL. too. with the greatest care. 1t
is funny thing. but he finds himself spell
ing out the words in the newspaper, and
his wife says he spells them in his sleep.
The other day the minister met him and
asked him how he was.
Very WE'LL he gravely spelled out,
and when the pastor looked amazed he
realized what he had done. and hastily ex-
plained the cause of the peculiarity, and
the minister professed TO be greatly inter
ested. and wanted to know all about IL:
and the speiler is now greatly worried for
fear the parson will write special paper
on it for some magazine.
When the minister finally left him he
shook hands and said Goodbye"
"G-O-O-d." began the speller, and he then
recollected himself and hastily added by
He hopes In time to wear out this pecu-
narity, and when he increases his speed on
the typewriter he no doubt will.

Insanity increases in England.

From the Lend u Mail.
The treatment OF IUnacy continues to Of

the United Kingdom. The ffty-secoEd re-
port Of the commissioners in lunacy. ad-
dressed to the lord chancellor, which has
lust been issued. shows that on January
Of this We IT there was an increase of 2tDI
in the number Of patients. and that this
followed an increase of 2@19 reported at
the beginning of tLe preceding year.
Examination of the statistical tables dis
closes that the increase is entirely under
the head Of insane persons of tfta ?auper
class. and that they are treated in the pub
lie asylum maintained by the county and
borough authorities
The rise in the number of lunaucS 50
treated has gone on for some years; during
the last ten years the average annual ad-
dition to the army of insane persons was
1,933.
At first sight il might be thought that
lunacy is startlingly spreading among the
population. The fact however. seems 10
be that Of late years there has been n ten

Why the Sky Looks Blue.
From the Boston Herald.


Did 1t ever strike you to inquire why the
cioudiess depths of sky above US are so
dellcately piNt? 1t isn't that the gas we
call air is In itself blue So far as we know
IL Is transparent and absolutely colorless
No; the blue comes from reflected light
Air is never pure; you couldn't live In it if
1t were. Countless millions of tiny particles.
chiefly of water, are always suspended in
1t, and these arrest the free passage of
light. Each particle has a double retec-
ton-one internal, the other external-and
so the reflected rays suffer the usual re-
suit of what is called Interference" and
show color.
You will notice that the sky appears
much bluer If you look straight up than if
you look across toward the horizon. The
reason is that in the first instance you are
naturally looking through a much thinner
layer Of air than in the second. If there
were no air, and consequently no watery
yapor. and nothing to interfere with the
free passage of light, even at midday. the
sky above would look perfectly black and
all the stars palmer than they do now at
midnight

Deterioration of Paper.

The recent report Of the committee ap-
pointed by the British Society Of Arts to

showed various grades Of deterioration of
