There is the evidence, mute, but indie

To the careful observer there arc
numbcrlcss other evidences of tho pree-
enco of glacial influences in the past,
but none is more convincing than tho
ramp bowlder that has finally settled
Gown in the woods in the heart Of En-

200 tons and resting upon three points
which in themselves find purchase on

and to the wondcrmcnt Of geologists.
tho tramp bowlder is red sandstone from
the Jersey hills 25 miles INLAND, and
the pedestal is metamorphite or soft
granite.
Around this marvellous monument
have grown trees that may perhaps be
century old and they have completely
hedged it in, while the rock itself has
stood where it stands today for thou
sands of years. On the pedestal or that
part Of it which is protected from tho

CHILDREN WE'RE KILLED
The third-class French cruiser, Ad-
miral Rigault de Genouilly, which was
at San Juan de Porto Rico during the
bombardment, left there about noon
yesterday, and arrived here this morn
ing. She reports that the inhabitants
of San Juan fled to the country imme-
djately after the firing began, women
and children, the Frenchmen say, being
trampled upon in the mad scramble for
safety. AS the crew of the French
cruiser remained on board their ship,
they could not say anything in regard
to the exact condition of affairs ashore.
But, they claim, one shell exploded in
richoutet, killing number of chill
dren, while another shell demolished the
house of the commandment of the ma
rines of San Juan de Porto Rico.
The parts of the city within range of
the forts suffered the most. The Of
ficers of the French ship say they do
not know how many persons were kill
ed during the bombardment, but they
express the opinion that the number
was small On the other hand they
say the number of persons wounded
was very large.
The officers of the French cruiser also
criticise the wisdom of the lombard
ment.
The Admiral Regault de Genouilly
was injured by pieces of shell explod-
ing during the bombardment, and her
rigging was cut.
When the French cruiser left San
Juan, its inhabitants were beginning TO
return to the city. The most strict
censorship over Geographic messages
is observed at the capital of Porto
R:co.
The United States cruiser Montgom-
cry is expected to leave here tonight, to
join the fleet. Her destination is said
to be Key West.
The United States auxiliary cruiser
Yale, formerly the American steamer
Paris, has also called here, and it is
understood she will clear with the
Montgomery for Key West.

National Idiosyncrasies.

The English are admitted by all I'M
prejudiced foreigners to be the most
refined eaters in the world. To see a
well bred Englishman go through the
various stages of his dinner is to have
a lesson in the art of graceful eating.
Very different is the behavior of the
Russian, who does not diSdain TO use
natures weapons when he considers
the latter more convenient than knife
and fork.
The Frenchman will use piece of
bread in nearly all cases where he
should use a knife. The German, on
the other hand, plunges his knife into
his mouth in way that is terrifying
The Swede cuts up all his food into
tiny pieces first of all, and then, having
laid aside his knife, proceeds to take up
piece by piece with his fork.
The Italian uses a spoon quite as Of
ten as a fork. He will employ the for
mer for vegetables and sometimes even
for fish. The latter use of the spoon is
somewhat curious.
The Japanese diner uses chop-sticks,
a form of implement somewhat difficult
to manipulate without considerable
practice, while the Chinaman tears his
food with his long nails in a manner
thoroughly repulsive.
The Greek swallows his meat in huge
mouthfuls, and would probably devour
a. steak weighing half a pound in half
a minute. Taking a very sharp knife,
ne divides the meat into four or five
great sections, each of which he filings
into his mouth in rapid succession. 1t
is not to be wondered at that Greeks
suffer from indigestion.
When all is said and done, the Eng
lish beat the other nations in the art
of refined eating.-Tid-Bits

Berlin, May 14-(Copyrighted, 1898,
by the Associated Press.) -While there
has been a marked change in the COM
ments of the anti-American press of
Germany, there have been no changes
in the opinion of the people, which con-
tinue to be most hostile to the United
States, especially among the upper
classes.
An American lady, who married a
German nobleman, both of them in
close touch with the highest society,
said to the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press: you have no conception
of the bitter feeling against America.
1t is impossible for me to go anywhere
without hearing my country abused on
all sides. We are accused of being a
nation of hypocritcal tradesmen, who
forced war with Spain with no other
object than that of financial gain,
The war news continues to arrive here
u hours late, and the Loka1 Anzeiger
is the only Berlin paper with enterprise
enough to get a few brief specials from
New York direct.
When the reports arrived of the re-
turn of the Spanish fleet to CadiZ, the
newspapers emptied the walls of their
wrath upon their erstwhile proteges.
The Berlin Tageblatt locally re-
marked: without firing a single shot,
this mysterious fleet has excited re-
peatedly panics in New York and has
kept the whole American fleet in check.
Admiral SIMPSONS blockading fleet
ceased to blockade, and Commodore
Schley's flying squadron did not fly, but
lay, as though hypnotized, at Hampton
Roads, dumbly awaiting the uncanny
fleet, which has been at sea week and
a half, yet was nowhere sighted. The
nervousness of the Americans gave rise
to veritable Authorizations. However,
the Spanish admiral recognized that
prudence was the better part of valor,
and he returned to Cadiz without hav-
ing reduced New York to ashes or
swept the Yankees from the ocean.
The honest traders and millionaires of
America may, therefore, continue to
tremble."

EXPORTERS SUFFER-.

The exporters, who are greatly per-
turbed at the serious losses which have
already resulted from the anti-Ameri-
can tone of the press, which losses are
reported today to have already amount
ed to several million marks, and as
they threaten to be followed by a per-
manent transfer of orders to a friend
lier nation, are making strenuous eff
forts to curb the newspapers. The
semi official communications made by
the government of Germany, protest
ing that Germany is friendly TO Amer
lea, may be accorded due recognition in
government circles, but unfriendliness
towards the United States means loss
of trade.

WASHINGTON. D. c., January u.
In reply to communication from
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath, inclosing a letter from Wash
ington postmaster, Commissioner
Evans, of the Pension Bureau. ex-
presses the opinion that it would be
proper for pOStma sterS to refer letters
in reference to pension cases address
ed to them to the nearest special eX-
aminer, or to the COMMISSIONS" of
Pensions. if the address of the ex-
aminer is not known. Mr.. Evans says
he appreciates the willingness mani
tested to assist worthy applicants in
regard to obtaining information re-
lativp to pension matters, but he is of
the opinion that every post office en-
ploye's time is fully occupied in at
tending to affairs coming entirely
within the province OF the Post Office
and he does not believe
they should be burdened unnecessarily
by matters coming properly within
the jurisdiction Of other departments.
