NnveI Steam Generation.

The novel steam generator of J, H.. Knight. an English engineer, consists of coil of steel tubing heated in a suitable furnace. Irregular steam pro duction and liability to obstruction by deposits from the water are the usual objections to boilers of this kind, but it is claimed that these difficulties are overcome by the use of steel balls. which move freely in the tube for a short distance. This checks the flow of water in the lower coils, causing the steam to come off quietly, while the constant movement clears away all scales.

the bull was still there, and then bounded into the van.
 The tiger was found to have five ribs broken besides having received a num- Der of wounds from the horns of the bull. Nevertheless he will survive, all though his ferocity seems to have left him, and he is as mild hammered as a cub. Thus again has the famous old saying that the Andalusian bull can only be conquered by man and the ele- phant been proven strictly true.

ENGLAND IS INTERESTED.
Closely Watching the Movements OF the
American and Spanish Fleets-In-
teresting Possibilities.

LONDON, May 14.-Strategical inter.
est in the war is at last becoming
keen. The dramatic appearance of the
Spanish feet in the West Indies, which
is supposed to have induced Admiral
Sampson to postpone the completion OF
his work at Porto Rico, opens up the
possibilities of a very interesting game
during the next few days, which will
be awaited with the greatest ex-
pectancy.
The question is whether Admiral
Cervera intends to try to slip into Ha-
vana, or to hover about with a view OF
inspiring the Americans with dread OF
what he may do. In any case the
latest news, reporting Spanish vic
tories, has greatly raised the hopes and
spirits of people in Spain, and the re-
cent talk of appealing to the powers
to intervene in the interests of peace,
will quickly vanish.
The Daily Chronicle, discussing the
situation this morning, says:
Admiral Sampson seems to have
waited just too long before attacking
San Juan.
He would have avoided all the pres
ent tangle If he had attacked a few
days earlier. At any rate, however, he
has taken the measure of Porto Rico as
coaling station, and the Spanish
claim of victory is absurd.
The Daily News, speaking through a
well-known war expert, says:
1T seems for once that Yankee cute
ness has overreached itself in the
match against Spanish secretiveness.
In the coming contest sharp wits may
count for more than physical force.
Admiral Cervera's adroit movement
has been executed with much judg-
ment, and Spain has redeemed her
character for enterprise. What may
come of it nobody would venture to
predict"

THE HOLSTERS TO THE FORE.
Have the Honor of Being the First State
to Turn Over Its Quota to the
United States.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 14.-Gov.
Mount yesterday afternoon issued COM
missions to the officers OF the four In
diana regiments and the two light bat
teries of volunteers. On account of a
misunderstanding some of the COM
missions had been withheld until YES
terday. Col. Guuder, the ranking off.
GER, is now in command of Camp Mount.
According to the mustering-in rules
of the United States army, Col. Stude-
baker, of South Bend, whose regiment
was the first mustered into the federal
service, should be colonel in command,
but Gov. Mount threat ened to with
hold his commission for good unless
he agreed to recognize Col. Gunder's
superiority.
In order to secure his commission,
Col. Studebaker gave in, thus ending a
controversy that had involved Camp
Mount for several days.
Indiana is understood to be the first
state to turn over its quota to the
United States.

THE RED CROSS ON THE SEAS.
Preparing a Joint Circular Announcing
the Adoption of the Modus Vivendi
During the War.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The depart
ment OF state is preparing for promul-
cation Jointly with the navy depart
ment an important circular announcing
the adoption of the modus vivendi dur
ing the war with Spain of the addi-
tional articles to the original Red Cross
society, which were drafted October
20, 1868, the object of which is to ex-
tend the operations of the Red Cross,
which concerned only warfare on land,
to naval warfare.
The adoption of simply modus was
proposed by the government at Swift
erland, following the example set by
France and the North German states
N the war of 1870. The government of
Spain also has announced its accept
ancc of these additional articles as a
modus vivendi. The effect of this joint
action is to secure, as far as may, be the
safety from attack at the hands of
either party of the new hospital ship
Solace, now at Key West, fitted out by
the United States government, under
the United States flag, for service in
the Cuban campaign.

HORNS A DETRIMENT.
The Pain Attending Their Removal
Is Very Much Exaggerated i'm
the Mind of the Public.

Every now and then protest goes up
against dehorning cattle; the motive
put forward is that of humanity, says
the Wisconsin Farmer. In the case Of
breeding bulls, we are impressed with
the belief that dehorning should not be
done, although it is not motives of hui
mainly that creates this belief. Mere
~ as belief, without pretense that it
is an ascertained fact, we think that
breeding qualities are likely to be i'm
paired by the sacrifice of the horns in
the case of horned breeds. Neither
would we dehorn pure-bred cattle
grown as breeding stock, but when
horns are one of the characteristics of
the breed, we would leave them there.
When it comes to the question of ami
mails that are to go to the feed lot they
should be dehorned every time. a herd
crowded together, as in the feed lot, will
commit more cruelties and suffer more
cruelty, dozen times over, by reason of
having horns than any that may be
caused by the few moments of pain
which result from the operation of de-
horning. Indeed, from our observation
of the operation and of the behavior of
animals while undergoing it, we are of
the opinion that the pain attending it
is very much exaggerated in the popu-
lar mind. No evil consequences follow
it, and even the milk function in COWS,
which is so easily disturbed, suffers no
disturbance worth mentioning when
cows in full milk are operated upon.
Those who make these occasional pro-
tests pay no attention to the fact that
castration, spaying and the docking Of
lambs are operations at least as painful,
and for centuries more common than
dehorning. Perhaps this is just the
point-that they are common. All cat
tie should be dehorned before going
into the feed lot. 1t makes them quieter
and more thrifty, the stronger tyran.
niZe less over the weak, and all the cat
ale have more room in the same space,
when the horns have been removed. In
order to avoid the supposed pain attend
ing the dehorning of animals, many ad,
yocate the use of caustic potash on thc
calf as soon as the buttons can be felt
on the skull. This method is undoubt-
eddy effective, and causes but little pain
if the operation is done carefully and
the caustic not allowed to touch thu
