Yacht, under command Of Lieut..
Commander Wainrigllt, who was
executive officer Of the Maine
when she was blown up.
We have reason to be proud of
our army under Gen. Shafter,
too. It has fought its way to
Santiago against conditions that
would have been iusurmountable
to men not determined to win at
any cost, and, although the Span
ish army has been more than
doubled by reinforcements, it
holds it's own aud only awaits the
order to take the town by storm.
It is possible that the town may
surrender under the bombardmet1t
and that the loss of life that will
necessarily accompany taking it
by assault may be escaped. 1t IS
the wish of the president that
there shall be no sacrifice of life,
now that the destruction of Ger
l.vera's fleet has been accomplish
ed. Consequently Santiago may
not be taken for a few days, un-
less it surrenders.
Not the least Of the good news
of the week was the announce
ment that Lieut.. Hobson and his
men had been exchanged.
Even senate debate ends
sometime. The Hawaiian annex
alton resolution has been adopted
by the senate. The vote was AZ
to 21.
No speech made during the
one sided annexation debate in
the senate has been as much
talked about as that of Senator
Hoar, in which he took the some
what peculiar stand of favorlng
the annexation of Hawaii and
/ #opposif1g the retention of any OF
the Spanish islands that may be
| in our possession at the close of
i the war. He also put himself on
record as being opposed to the
maintenance of a large standing
army in time of peace and tc
| building and keeping UP a great
navy. 1t is not surprising that
Senator Lindsay should have
called Mr.. Hoar's speech an apol.
ogy for annexation of Hawaii, as
| we'll as a protest against colonia
lexpansion. Mr.. Hoar Is anothe1
incongruous recruit under the
anti-colo11ial banner jointly raisee
4 by Grover Cleveland and William
Jennings Bryan. 1t is daily be,
coming more evident that the
policy of this government towards
the territory captured during the
war is going to bring about pc
Ilitical contest that will smash
party lines as they now exist.

Animal PecuIiarities.

A herd of wild Asian buffaloes will
charge any foe. even a tiger, to save the
life of one of their number who has
teen wounded. Elephants, balloons and
other animals will do the same thing in
a wild state.
On the other hand. monkeys have
been known to fall upon one of their
number who is i'll and drown him, pos
sibly as an act of mercy. Similarly
wolves destroy one of the pack which
becomes helpless.
If an otter is trapped, his brother OF
ter viii run around him all night, show
ing the utmost concern.
a writer in The Spectator states that
he has seen sparrows in groups discuss
ing and lamenting when one CT their
humble had fallen into a trap. Next day,
when a robin was caught. the sparrows
paid no attention.
He adds that he had seen big pig
try to help smaller one through holo
in the fence paling by pulling at its
head.
st. John tells of a highland shepherd
whose cat brought him some edible bird
nearly every day in the year.

TONS AND TONS OF GOLD.
Twelve Hundred Miles of Enormous
L. Rich Territory

L. Rich Territory.
If a pin be placed at Denver ON the
map, and another at Stockton, Cal,
and string be drawn from one to the
other, an air line will be marked pass
ing through the heart Of wonderful
gold territory. Slightly to the north of
Denver in Central City. and southwest
of that city is Cripple Greek. About 80
miles 90 the north of the string Lead
Vile will be found. In the southwest
corner of Colorado will appear Tellu-
ride, Rico and other points where gold
is mined. Marysyale, in Utah, almost
due south of Salt Lake City, will ap-
pear to the south of the string. Fifty
miles to the north of it, near the line
between Utah and Nevada, will appear
Osceola. Deep Creek lies north of Osce-
ola and on the southern edge of the
great desert west of Salt lake. Detroit
and several other rich gold camps are
almost due east of Osceola. Phoebe lies
100 miles south of the string, and the
wonderfully rich gold territory of the
Monkey Wrench district lies southwest
of Phoebe.
Now, north and south of the string
will appear dotted on the map of Neva-
da the gold camps of Grant, Freiburg.
Reveille, Kawich Valley, San Antonio,
Gold Peak, Hot Springs. Belleville,
Candelara and numerous others. AL
most under the string. IN California. we
find Bodie, and 70 the north of it Mar
kleville and other points-all on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. On the western slope of the
great sierras the string will be almost
on the Utica mine, which is located be-
tween San Andreas and Sonora North
and south of the Utica mine are hun
dreds of rich gold mines in profitable
operation.
The distance from Denver to Stock
ton is about ], 200 miles. On no portion
of the habitabIe globe is there 4 region
SO continuously and enormously rich in
gold as the territory described, and yet,
notwithstanding this fact. the progress
i've Yankee has scarcely made a start in
opening and developing these riches,
which have been entombed for millions
of years, and which will remain so
sepulcheTed until we awaken to an APP
probation of the fact that the states of
Colorado, Utah. Nevada and California
bear within their bosoms more wealth
than ever was dreamed of by Cresus.-

Cause For Efuea2ss.

The cluhman was looking particular
" blue. and when asked by his ciab-
mates for the cause, ne said:
This evening, just after dark, as !
was coming down to the club, walking
along, thinking CT nothing in particular,
l was hit III the back by what seemed
70 be n locomotive and knocked sprawl
ing into the gutter. 1t was muddy there,
and when l had collected my scattered
senses l was all covered with dirt and
also very mad. l looked around TO see
what hit me and found q young man
and a safety bicycle on the pavement
all tangled up. | was mad, as l sand be
fore, and, without stopping to think
what did, took that young man by
the coat collar and kicked him off the
pavement. Then jumped en- the bicy-
Gle, smashed all the spokes cut of the
wheels and generally disfgCred it,"
Here the gentleman stopped. and one
of his audience said:
well, why should that make you
feel as you do: You aid just the right
thing"
al suppose hadn't ought to feel so. +"
said the speaker; but, you see, it was

Aluminium ns Paper.

Experiments with aluminium as a
substitute for paper are now under way
in France. 1t is we'll known that the
paper used today in the manufacture of
books is not durable.
1t is now possible to roll aluminium
into sheets four-thousandths of an inch
in thickness, in which form it weighs
less than paper. By the adoption of
suitable machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner still and can be used
for book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize. is practically fire and
water proof. and is indestructible by
the jaws of worms.

With windows locking or to sea,

And Halfway rock" that looming rose

Whereon the scattered isles re2ose.
And some one near me gently played
y dear old hymn that stirred my heart.
Twas Children of the Heavenly King,
And what it woke made quick tears start
The long years seemed 20 backward turn,
And /, little child again,
Held fast within his strong arms clasp,
While soft he crooned the cid refrain.
Oh, just once more to be that child
And know again the blisstCl rest
The cid hymn brought ine, rocked 10 sleep

But only yet little whll>,
Though earth may call il years th2t creep.

OECAPiTATION.
Life Said TO Remain Long After the
Head Is Severed.

1.-THE executions in Paris during re-
cent years have revived the old question
whether death instantaneously follows
upon the severance of the head from
the body" says the Massachusetts, Med
ical Journal DIR. Cinel asserts that
decapitation does not Immediately affect
the brain. He says that the blood which
flows after decapitation comes from the
large vessels of the neck, and there is
hardly any call upon the circulation of
the Uranium. The brain remains intact,
nourishing itself with the blood retained
by the pressure of the air.
when the blood remaining il tho
head at the moment of separation is ex
hausted, there commences a state, not
of death, but Of inertia, which lasts up
to the moment when the organ. no
longer fed, ceases to exist DR.. Cinel
estimates that the brain finds nourish
ment i'll the residuary blood for about
an hour after decapitation. The period
of inertia would last for about two
hours, he thinks. and absolute death
would not ensue till after the space of
three hours altogether
'If, he adds, bodiless head indicates
by no movement the horrors Of its stu
alton, it is because it is physically i'm
possible that it should do so, all the
nerves-which serve for the transmits
sion of orders from the brain to the trunk
being severed; but there remains the
nerves of hearing, of smell and sight,
and he concludes that the guillotine does
not cause instant death. If this be true,
could any other form of death be more
