Many are the hobbies of the adult
princes of Europe, and science has
claimed several as her disciples. The
prince Of Naples has chosen electricity
as his favorite study. For many years
he has been interested in the applica-
tion of electricity to light sound,
motive power and offshoots of such
studies, such as electric rays IN con-
ncctiou with photography Since the
discovery of the Y rays he has been
most fully occupied in experiments,
aud has been most successful opera
tor in this direction. His home in
the Quiriual was more like scientific
laboratory than royal residence iu
his bachelor days, but doubtless this
has been altered recently.

Georgia has gone successfully into
stock raising, and the industry has in
creased rapidly. During the last
eight months the farmers of the south
western part of the State have shipped
Gj, 900 head to Texas and the Indian
Territory, getting from so to $l2 a
head for them, which is considered
remunerative price in comparison
with that of other farm products.
The Atlanta Constitution says that
efforts are now being made to obtain
direct communication with the mar
kets of the North and East, thus saw
ing to the Georgia farmers the profit
now gained on their shipments by the
Western cattlemen. 1t is said that
cattle can be fattened about as cheaply
in Georgia as in the Indian Territory.

whether the naval officials were relieved

Spanish flying squadron had arrived at
Cadiz, Spain. The safety of the Oregon

and the way is clear for military opera
tiOns in Cuba without running the risk
of having the occupying army's line of
communication cut off. on the other
hand ii is believed that no enduring
peace can be secured until the Spanish
navy has been destroyed. and it now
appears that to .lo this our sailors must
make up their minds to go after the

The consolidation of New York made
no radical difference i'll the ratio
naturalized voters bear to the native
born. saws the Sun. Relatively, it is
true, there are fewer naturaliZed voters
in Kings County than in New York,
and fewer in Richmond County than
in that part of Queens which includes
Long Island City, and which was con-
solidated with New York on the lst of
January, but the differences are not
great. A clear majority OF the male
inhabitants Of voting age of New York
are foreign born, as the last national
census showed: New York, native
white male 170,9 foreign white
male 266, 747; Kings, native white
male 115, 1872, foreign white male H. .
476: Richmond, native white male
S275, foreign white male GS02; Queens
whole county, native white male 10, =
SlS, foreign white male l6, 500. One
curious result of the consolidation of
the three cities is that the present city
administration is, more largely perhaps
than any of its predecessors in recent
years, under the direction of native
born citizens, while the representa-
tives of Cosmopolitan New York" are
few and far between. Mayor Van
Wyck is New York boy, born and
reared in this city, and dating back
his local ancestry to 1850. Comptrol'
ler Coler is native of Champaign,
Ill. Borough President Peters, the
District Attorney of New York County,
Colonel Gardiner, Borough President
Grout of Brooklyn, and the executive
heads of departments generally are

American Institute of instruction.

American Institute of instruction.
Already elaborate preparations have
been made for the 6Sth annual meeting
Of the American Institute OF instruction,
which this year is to be held at North
Conway n. H, July toS.
The bulletin which will be issued about
the middle of May will be complete in
the elaboration of arrangements and
detail. From present indicat ations "A very
remarkable array of renowned educa-
tional leaders will be present and ad-
dresses upon the educational conditions
OF the various New England states will
be made by the following named gentle
men, who are superiOrs of instruction in
their respective states: c. H. Hine of
Connecticut. w. W. Stetson of Maine f.
A. Hall of Massachusetts, j. b. Rockwell
of Rhode Island, NJ. S. Stone of Vermont
and F. Going, late of New Hampshire.
The widely and favorably known lib
eral educator, DR.. G. Stanley Hall, has
signfed his intention of being present
and will address the teachers on timely
subjects. DR.. Hodge of Clark university
will speak upon nature study. and the
topics selected by DR.. II. S. Tarbell,
superintendent of schools in Providence,
Il. l., and the Rev. a. f. Wnship will
be of interest to everyone interested in
educational work.
1t is needless to speak of the entertain
ment program which has been provided
for North Conway, and in fact the entire
White mountain region offers an ever
ending source of instructive recreation.
The Boston and Maine railroad will,
as usual, make every inducement as u
rates, routes and accommodations that
is possible for the institute members who
are recognizing the important results
which this annual gathering promotes.

The duartermaster general has already
gotten under charter q merchant steam

roughly speaking, these should carry
about 20 900 men. Others are being pro-

all of the transports should be gathered

Washington, May ll.-There was some
discussion by the senate in executive
session yesterday because none of the
nominations for staff officers i'm the army
sent in by the president were from the
south. Senator Money raised the ques-
ton when the reference Of the nominal
tions was made and he and Senators
Bate. Bacon and Lindsay all commented
upon the fact. Their speeches were not
in the nature Of faultGnding, but the
omission they said was patent to alt.
They also called attention to the fact
lat the south had comparatively few
pfiicers in the regular army and none of
high rank, owing To the effect in this
respect of the civil war. They said that
while the southern states would he just

received any of the presidents favors.
they would prefer To he treated in this
matter as were other sections OF the
country.
Replies were made by Senator's Hoar.

that the far western section of the Coun-
try also had failed to receive any recog-
milton at the hands Of the president in

O THE WEATHER..
MIR. WinGieby Explains to George About
the Seasons.

Mr. eel Explains to Georgia About
the Seasons.
You see, Georgia, y said Mr.. Win
gleby, whose youthful son had asked
him how we came to have different
kinds of weather, 1.-THE weather is put
mp in Tin cans, a days weather to a
can. and usually they put up about q
years supply ahead, enough to last
through a spring, summer, autumn and
winter. In filing the cans they sort il
all out as well as possible. Sometimes
when they get q can full there may be a
little left over, and whatever remains
in THE way they throw into one lot.
When they've got pretty nearly all the
cans full and the regular stock of wealth
or has run out, they fill up from that
lot of odds and ends. The cans so filled
contain what is called variable weather,
because it's mixed, but most of the
weather they get pretty well sorted out
according to the season.
when they've got all the cam filled,
they stack 'em up where they'll be
handy TO get at, and there's a man that
does nothing but open them. Every day
he cuts a can and pours ont the weather
Tor that day, and of course n great deal
depends upon him. Sometimes this man
gets careless and pulls down a lot of the
wrong Cabs, getting them, say, from the
July shelf in tho month Of April and
likely as not getting down a week.
supply at once, Sc as TO have them handy
on the opening table. OF course be dis
covers his mistake the first can he opens,
but he is too lazy to put the rest back,
and so he keeps GA then until he has
opened them all, and that's how il
comes about, as it sometimes does, that
we get q hot spell at n season when we
ought TO have nothing but cool weather.
"But of course those April cans are
not lost. They mast he around some
where, end sc get en- later. MayEe

the hope thar we went notice them
much, but rs likely rs not he opens
them one after another together, maybe
after soIne terribly hot spell in July or
August, when they arc sure to be \
blessed relief, and If he does this we are
Eretty apt TO forgive him his mistake III
