CALLED TO STANFORD.

Prof. Frank Fetter, head professor OF
the department of economics and social
science at the Indiana state university,
has been called to fill a similar post at
the Leland Stanford university for one
year during the absence In Europe of
Prof. Edward A. Ross. Prof. Fetter
was a student in the Indiana univer-
sity while President Jordan. now of
Stanford, was president of the Indiana
school. DR.. Fetter spent some time at
Cornell after his graduation from In
diana, and later went to Europe, where
he studied one year On his return
he accepted his present position in his
alma mater. He is a brilliant scholar
and an able speaker. His services
were secured by Stanford through the

For Use In Damn Places.

The English electrical papers are de-
scribing the dry-cap lamp shown in the
illustration, which is specially recon-
mended for use in damp places or out
side lighting. The lamps are specially
suited for mines, pier lighting or damp
cellars, where it has been found that
the plaster of paris softens after the
lamps have been in use for a little
time. The cap is attached by means of
a brass disk and is fastened to the
glass bulb by specially prepared
cement, which is thoroughly damp
proof, and the l%eading-in wires are per-
fectly free, so that the lamp has an air
insulation in the interior of the cap.
1t is important to note that although
there is an air insulation, by using the
thin layer of cement between the

Chinese Snake CatcherS.

The Cinnamon who work on a ranch
in a certain valley district in Washing
ton, according to the Yakima Republic,
have a unique way of adding a few dol
lars in their annual stipends. There are
many rattlesnakes in the vicinity of
the ranch, and the Celestials capture all
they can by "a of a slip knot and
a short stick, catching the reptiles
around the throat. When caught they
are dropped into a bottle containing al
cohol. and are then shipped to China
in quantities. They say that their net
gain on each snake approaches IS,
which makes the narrative take front
rank among the usual snake stories.
Chinese doctors buy the snakes and ex-
tract a medicinal oil from their bodies.

was of the ITO selected physical
wrecks, supposedly beyond all further
service in the army of liberty, who
were let go as useless. Col. Moriana
Emyrich, who has fought the Span
iards in guerilla warfare since he was
IA years OF age, is a starwart man of
nearly fifty, whose right arm hangs
helpless in leather sling. He began
fighting by his fathers side, with his
other brothers, and like the late brave
Maceo, has seen his whole family
wiped out, while he kept on fighting to
the end, having but lately been re-
leased from a Spanish prison.
He has been eight times wounded,
having two bullets, one a Mauser and
one a Remington, in his right arm,
but quickly learned to use the machete
with his left. He was in three wars,
and is familiar with every foot OF
ground in the island, and will accom-
pany Colonel Cody. Serg. Juan Valdez
suffered from three very bad machete
wounds and seven months imprison-
ment in Havana prison, from which he
was liberated by General Lee. He is
a very interesting character, and, for
a boy, his story of three years service
in the Cuban cause would make a chap
ter in itself. His right arm is power
less, the result of two machete wounds
and he carries a bullet in his leg. His
story of brutal treatment when cap
tured is almost Incredible. His father

naturalized as IN American citizen.

AGUERRO AND HERNANDEZ.
of General Torres in Santiago de Cuba.
One day when they were advancing
upon Vittoria LATINA, he was one of
a squad of thirty men detached on a
foraging expedition. The Cuban army
was out of meat, and the squad was
under orders to find COWS and get them
into camp. They met with good sue
cess, getting together twenty or twen-
ty-ive cows, but at that point in their
game were discovered by $50 Spanish
guerillas. To save the precious COWS
If possible twenty men undertook 10
drive them off toward the main COL
umn, while Hernandez and nine COM
hope to stand off the enemy so long as
might be practicable, and so gain time
for the drivers of the COWS to get a
good start. That the ten would prob
ably pay with their lives for the COWS
was accepted as a matter of course.
Hernandez fell with his right ankle
shattered by two bullets, and was TAX
en- prisoner. His evident youth moved
his captors to refrain from macheting
him at once, not because of sympathy,
but by reason Of a hope that fear of
pain and love of life might make him
serve them as an informer. First they
took him to Sauna, where he was ques-
toned upon his knowledge of who in
that district were friends of the Cubans
and aided them with ammunition, sup
plies or money, but he sturdily refused
to give any information. He was told
that surgical aid would be given him
by which his foot would be saved If he
would tell, while if he would not ampu-
tation would be performed on him as
soon as they arrived at Holguin. He
would tell nothing. Death would be
preferable to betrayal of friends. Then
they carried him to Holguin. 1t was a
journey of twelve days in the fierce
heat of September. No attention had
been given to his wounds beyond a
handkerchief he himself had tied about
his shattered ankle, in all that time.
All his clothing was matted with
blood, and by the time they reached
Holguin worms infested the blood and
his wound. Again they questioned and
threatened him, but without avail.
Cursing his obstinacy and determined
for revenge upon him, his captives
turned him over to a couple OF young
surgeons, who ~gleefully proceeded to
cut his leg off. From Holguin he was
taken first to MORO castle, and after
ward to Preside, where he suffered
from brutality. starvation, and cruel

for twenty-seven years remained at his
post without once leaving it. BY the
death of Chas. A. Dana, Mr.. Godkin be-
came the dean Of the journalistic corps
in New York city, ~outranking the ed
ttors of all other leading papers. Both
were of Irish descent and all through
life fought each other, on paper, with
all the fury of the ruling race" Mr..
Godkin gives a brief resume of his life,
which we condense still further:
Mr.. Godkin was born in 1881 at
Moyne, County Wicklow, near "the
Vale Of Avoca," which Moore celebrat-
ed, and is the son Of a clergyman who
also wrote books. He has a sister,
Miss Georgia Godkin, the %biographer of
Victor Emmanuel, and a resident of
Italy. Almost In boyhood he wrote a
History Of Hungary" inspired by the
fervor aroused by the patriot, Louis
Kossuth, a very old-fashioned book
now, profusely illustrated with primi-
tive woodcuts. This book, however,

HOT WATER IN ARIZONA WELLS
In Some Gases Temperature Rises Twenty
Degrees In a Single Night.

In Some Cases Temperature Rises Twenty
Degrees In a Single Night.
The wells in parts of Arizona have
recently become producers of hot
water, and apprehension is felt by
many of the residents of the region af-
fected that they are about to become
participants in a grand volcanic drama.
In some of the wells the temperature
of the we'll water rose twenty degrees
in a single night. In a few the phe-
nomenon disappeared soon after its ap-
pearance. In a majority of the cases,
however, the wells fairly steam from
their newly acquired heat. The first
known of this curious state of affairs
was a report that the wells at Marico-
pa, on the Southern Pacific railroad,
thirty miles south of Phoenix, had sud-
denly become hot. 1t was four days
thereafter that the phenomenon first
was noticed a dozen miles west of that
city. A test at one we'll showed a
temperature of nearly 100 degrees. No
difference is noted in wells in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Phoenix. The line
of subterranean heat wave follows the
general direction of the Sierra Es-
trella Mountains, a volcanic chain ly-
ing Immediately south Of the ella
river. Thence it appears to continue
on in the direction of the Harqua Hala
Mountains, near which are a number
of large n modern volcanic cones and
hills of drifted volcanic ash. Further
to the east the lava flows are so geo.
logically modern as to have over
whelmed in a number Of places the
cliff dwellings of the ancients.-Corre-

Electric Mail Delivery.

In Geneva a novel system for deliv-
ering letters in high apartment houses
is to be tried. On the ground floor is
arranged a cabinet having as many
compartments and boxes as there are
floors in the house. When a letter Is
deposited in any box, it makes a con-
tact which rings a bell on the CORE
spending floor. The bell can only be
stopped by the removal of the letter.
The same current that rings the bell
opens a valve connected with a water
tank in the top of the house. Here are
located cylinders attached by cords and
pulleys to the letter boxes and so ar
ranged that when they are filled with
water they will serve to haul up the
letter box and its contents to the prop
err floor. When the box arrives, the let
ter is automatically dumped into a sta
~tionary receptacle and at the same time
the cylinder is discharged of it's water.
The letter box then descends to the low
err floor, the bell stops ringing and it
remains in position waiting for the next
visit of the postman.

Four BOYS at One Birth.

An artisans wife in Foggia, Italy,
Signora Rosa Zurlo, has given birth to
four male children all in excellent
health, and the syndic, or mayor, has
decreed that the day of their baptism
will be kept as a public holiday. He
has further arranged with the parents
that the babies will be christened Dan
tie, Petrarca, Tasso and Ariosto. Large
crowds daily flock to see the children,
who are differentiated by variously col
ored ribbons attached to their necks.-

At the Photographic exhibition at
the Crystal palace, London, there was
shown what is undoubtedly the largest
camera ever made. The camera was
over six feet high; it takes a plate six
feet by five feet, but this size can only
be utilized for line work and ordinary
copying, as the Levy screen, necessary
for the half-tone process, can only be
obtained up to about forty by thirty
inches. 1t is intended that the back
part should be built into the partition
wall of the dark room, so that the lat
ter would really form the dark slide,
otherwise a holder of sufficient dimen-
sions would be extremely heavy and
cumbersome. By ~inclosing the rear of
the camera as a dark room, the plate
would be placed directly into the back

SPANISH DUKE FETED BY US,

Here Is a Spanish nobleman who
must have some difficulty in adjusting
his ideas in these troubled times.
A few years ago-during the Worlds
Fair he was the guest of the United
States. Being the duke of Veragua, he
was wined and dined, and generally
feted. State and army officials we're
detailed to represent the government in
his suite. Just before his departure
some brilliant genius decided that It
was a horrible thing for the country
which Columbus had found to permit
a scion of Columbus to journey about
the world encountered with debts. A
subscription was started to pay his
debts, but the movement never a
mounted to anything. The duke was
spoken of as a possible member of the
new Spanish cabinet just constructed

part Of n summer President and

writes a friend of the latter in the La
dies Home Journal. "The occupant of
the adjoining residence had in her m
ploy a genuine 'befo' de war Virginia
%auntie, whose cooking was the delight
of her mistress and guests. Her pick
les and preserves were incomparably
fine, and to even possess one of her re-
ceipts was regarded as a piece of good
fortune. Mrs. Cleveland was interest
ed in this branch of cooking, and dur
ing the summer took frequent lessons
from Aunt Charlotte. 1t was q sight
that delighted the old colored woman
to see the first lady of the land walking
up the lane, her gown covered with a
long bingham apron, and carrying a
white umbrella to shield her from the
sun. Aunt Charlotte would execute
a series of profound curtsies, and her
face would glow with joy as Mrs. Cleve-
land approached. Then the first lady
of the land would peel silver-skinned
onions, slice tomatoes or chop cabbage
for pickles. Or she might be seen
standing over a glowing brazier Of
charcoal (for these preserves were made
in real old Virginia style), armed with
a long wooden spoon, stirring a kettle
of peaches to prevent their burning, as
eagerly interested as though she were
a young housekeeper with limited
means"
