mond jubilee and Wu Tlng-fen, the
leader of the Reform party. The men
most capable of Offering good counsel
in the present emergency are the two
last named. but Chang Yin-huan is of
toe low a rank to possess any real in

the multitude of counsel offered by
these various officials there is much
guile but little wisdom. and there is
much plotting on the part of each men,

and every one of his fellows. Periodi-
cally the Empress Dowager comes out,
rates them soundly from behind her
screen, and if they have done some-
thing unusually foolish, boxes all their
ears. And between one and another of
them the unhappy Son of Heaven comes

"BOTTLED" Light.


S. b. Nickum, of Logansport, Ind, is
an inventor of local celebrity, having
been the author OF numerous patents OF
value, among which is the pointed switch
rail now in use on railroads His latest
invention is rev light, which Is at.
tracing much attention. He certainly
makes extraordinary claims which, II
substantiated, will place him high on the
list. For obvious reasons he does not as
yet make known the exact nature OF his
discovery but says, THE light is con-
tained in a round glass globe, in which
so-called gravitation is cut off. 1t can be
made of almost any brilliancy, and when
the globes are once made and sealed, re-
mains constant thereafter. There are no
wires nor electric current, but the light
is continuous and when not in use can
be placed in a bureau drawer or any
convenient place until needed. The globe
is cold, there being no loss of heat or
movement from the interior to the OUT
side.
There is no possibility of "A fire re-
sultinG from the use of the light, for the
instant there is "A crack in the globe tho
light is eXtinguished. They can be
broken i'm a keg of GunpOwder without
the slightest danger of explosion.
Light is a high period of moving
atoms to and from a center, the center
atoms being made to vibrate so rapidly
that the eye is made insensible to such
movement. In this is the principle Of
the new light."-New Ideas.

ALL THE WIVES HE WANTS.
A Man May Legally Take, Provided
He Marry Them SimuitaneOusly.

A correspondent has requested Law
Notes to advise him how many women
a man may marry at once without vio-
lating any law. This being a mixed
question of law and love, and our
speciality being law, we feel some hes
itation in expressing our opinion. There
seems to be no reason why he may not
marry as many as will have him, pro-
yided the ceremony be not performed
'in a territory or other place over
which the United States has exclusive
Jurisdiction"
The earliest statute on the subject
of polyamy or bigamy q. JAG. /, c, ID
enacted that if any person or per-
sons within England and Wales, be-
ing married, or hereafter shall marry,
30 marry any person or persons, the
former husband or wife being alive,
each offence shall be felony" The
statutes 35 Geo. III, c. 81, and Geo.
l., c. II, have merely changed the pun
ishment q East p. c., 46D. The stat
utes of the several states go no fur
ther, in terms, than to provide that no
person "who has a former husband or
wife living shall marry another" I'm
der these statutes it would seem that
IL was not unlawful for a single man
to marry as many single women SIM
ultaneously as can place themselves
within the reach of his voice and the
voice of the preacher or officer per-
forming the ceremony.
1t may be that a court to whom the

question were presented would, by
some reflnements and subtleties, and
by considering the intent of the leg

ute according to its spirit," etc, de-
wise some means by which to inter-
rupt the wild career of conjugal felic-
ity which our correspondent proposes

constituting the statutes as all penal
statutes should be construed, strictly,
sees no offence in the multifarious mar
riage which he has in mind. We feel
indisposed to extend the language of
the legislature so as to make it include
cases not embraced in its terms. 1t is
not unreasonable to presume that the
legislature intended merely TO protect
innocent and unwary persons from
marrying others already married, in
ignorance of the previous marriage,
and to prevent wives and husbands
from deserting their consorts for 9TH
ers. We do not know that the legisla-
ture intended to prevent a man from
marrying more than one woman sim
ultaneously when IT could so easily
and i'm such few words have said so,
This position finds strength in the
fact that the Edmunds act (act Con.
March 22, 1882, declares expressly, in
addition to the usual provision. that
"any man who hereafter simultaneous
ly or on the same day, marries more
than one woman. in territory or other
place over which the United States has
exclusive jurisdiction, is guilty of po-
lygamy," thereby recognizing that the
usual provision does not meet the case
In question.

COST OF THE CUBAN WAR.
Three Years. Struggle Has Not Been
inexpensive Nor BlOOdiess.
From the Independent.


The present rising in Cuba hegan at
Ybarra, province of Matanzas, Febru-
ary "a, 1895. Beginning in one of the
western provinces on a very small
scale, it has spread to all parts of the
island, and seems to be as strong, con-
fident, and determined today as at any
time since 1t began. Insurgent forces
are found in every one of the provinces.
According to the latest report of their
distribution, approved by the Cuban
junta in this country, there are 36, 500
men in arms, of whom nearly half are
in the cavalry branch of service. Be-
ginning with the westernmost pro-
vince, Pinar del Rio, which General
Weyler pronounced ''pacified" before he
was recalled, there are, west Of Wey-
ler's trocha near Havana, some 1900
insurgents, under the command Of Cen
erals Diaz, Lorente, and Ducasse. OF
these, $500 are infantry and the rest
cavalry. These constitute the Sixth
army corps. In Havana and Matan-
zas provinces is the Fifth army corps,
commanded by General Rodriguez,with
half a dozen chiefs of divisions. This
corps consists of 1900 infantry and L.
500 cavalry. The Matanzas division is
in charge of General Betancourt. In
Santa Clara is the Fourth army corps.
consisting of $500 men, under General
Garlic, assisted by Generals Nunez,
Arando, Monteagudo, and Jose Miguel
Gomez. This makes a total of 16, 700
men in the western department. In the
two provinces of the eastern depart
ment, Puerto Principe and Santiago de
Cuba, there are about 12,600 men, most
of whom. are in the latter province
under General CaliXto Garcia. In the
former province is the seat of the
Cuban government, at La Esperanza,
in the Cubitas mountains, and the
headquarters of General Gomez, the
communicating chief of the Cuban
forces. These forces are we'll equipped
and in the eastern department have a
plentiful supply of food. Thirty thou
sand Cubans, not in active service, are,
IL is said, tilling the ground and fur
| nishing food to the insurgents. The
Spanish army is supposed to number
$50, 900 or more, under the general COM
mand of Captain General Blanco. In
Cuban waters il a considerable Span
| ish navy, consisting of seven cruisers
nineteen gunboats (smalD, one trans
port, five torpedo boats, and twenty
four launches. 1t Is the purpose of this
fleet to prevent the insurgents from re-
ceiving arms, ammunition, and supplies
from the United States and other out
| side sources. The cost of the war .tC
Spain has been, so far, $3.50, 100000, and
| the yearly expenditure is about $685.

credited with having taken to the

the starboard side Of the extreme after
part if the englne-room. Immediately
aft the engine-room was the ships
magazine, separated from the engine
room by steel partition. Bilges are
cleaned with turpentine- soaked waste.
The bilge-cleaner too lazy to fill one OF
the small turpentine cans provided for
the purpose, dragged a five-gallon can
of turpentine to his bilge station and
began work. Smoking is strictly pro-
hibited in the engine-rooms of a man
of-war, on account of the large amount
of Combustible stores necessarily
slowed below. This bilge- cleaner was
a reckless sort of blade, however, and
when he had got his bilge-c cleaning
underway he took out hjs pipe and lit
1t, carelessly chucking the match in the
bilge. There was some turpentine In
the bilge, and the match, still aglow,
set 1t into a flame. The bilge-cleaner
jumped to his feet and in doing so he
overturned the five gallons of turpen-
tine. Then the bilge was converted in
to roaring mass of flame that shot
to the berth deck gratings and played
directly against the steel bulkhead
separating the engine-room from the
magazine. The careless bilge-cleaner
was scorched. and he bolted for the
spar deck, yelling like a madman. The
second-class fireman with the head on
him was the only other man in the
after engine-room at the time this hap
pened. He made a jump for the bilge
covers that had been removed by his
reckless mate, and, although severely
burned while doing it, he thrust them
over the bilges. Then he seized a
wrench and knocked open one of the
intakes from the sea that let water
directly into the bilge that was in
flames. The water came in so rapidly
that 1t Knocked the bilge-covers off, but
ii drowned the fire. There was more
than a foot of water in the engine
rooms before the intake could be closed
again, but that was a small matter

bucketful of the incoming sea water
against the steel bulkhead. which was
already so hot that it sent back clouds
of steam.
