When the Buffalo arrives che
will be stripped and converted from a
dynamite cruiser into an auxiliary cruiser.
The navy department has finally decided
that the Vesuvfus can do all the dyna-
mite work necessary and the Buffalo can
render better service with a battery of
5-inch guns. In addition to this main bat
terry the Buffalo will carry a secondary
battery OF ten 6~-pounders, Pinch rapid
fire and several Calling guns. The arma-
ment of the Buffalo will be much more
powerful than that of her sister ships,
the Dixie, the Yosemite. the Yankee and
the Pairie. as she is already armored and
her decks are protected with greater
than the decks Of those ships.

GREAT N0RTHERN's FINE EARNINGS.
Report Of = scheme to Avoid Criticisms
by Populist Legislatures.

Report OF = SCUeme 10 AvO1O Cf1tlci8me
by Popuiist Legislatures.
New York, May 24.-No official state
ment was obtainable to-day relative TO
the reports that the Great Northern
railroad stockholders are to be given
h right to subscribe to a new issue of
preferred stock at an early date; but
that the issue will be made in some
manner is to be Inferred from such in
formation as was at hand in Wall
street.
The ayowed object of such an issue
is the retirement of the SIS, 900, 900 col
lateral trust mortgage bonds, which
were issued in 1892, secured by f3.000,-
900 Of the st. Paul. Minneapolis and
Manitoba railroad Pacific extension As.
and are now redeemable at par value on
three months notice. A second and
more important consideration in an is
sue of preferred stock i'm addition to the
said $25. 900. 900 now outstanding Is the
fact that the railway has been paying
high dividends on il, and putting nearly
as much into the surplus for the last
two years, and the fiscal year, which
closes June 30, is expected to show even
better results. Such earnings as these
are not pleasing to populistic legisla-
lures. and SO the method of disposing of
dividends, which has often been used
in the history of American railroads,
will likely be followed in this case.
With the Great Northern basis for
such action 1t would be sounde than in
most cases which could be recalled; the
underlying fact is that railway mana
gers i'm the United States are tradition
ally unwilling to pay more than a GER
tain rate. having learned by experience
to save themselves from attack by CIV
ing security holders their returns in an
other and no less equitable manner
One report in circulation to-day stat
ed that the new stock might be offered
at so, allowing subscriptions to the full
amount of individual holdings. 1t was
also said that the dividend might be
advanced from the present 6 per cent
bonds to Z. None of these statements
was confirmed; in fact. there was a
semi-oficial warning that they should
not be regarded as accurate.

SEX SELECTION.
Professor schenck claims to have dis

Professor Schenck claims to have dis
covered the secret Of the con-
troll of the production Of sex
through the administration of the
proper food during the period of
CESSATION. In this way he thinks the
question of sex selection may be set
tied. We can wish that his discovery
is groundless. Nature has taken care
Of the equalization of the sexes thus
far pretty we'll, and we do not believe
that art is going TO improve upon her.
However, that there is something IN
the claim of Professor Schenck is prob
able, for here comes Professor McClos-
kie of the Biological Department of
Princeton, a man who is known widely
as a scientific writer, and declares that
he has been expecting something of the
kind Professor Schenck has announced.
He declares that modern science has
long been confronted with two serious
problems, the increase of the population
Of the earth and the decrease in the
supply Of food. The latter will be met
by the artificial production of food. and
that 100 in the very near future, but
the only way to decrease the population
is by the generation of a larger number
of human males than human females.
and that is what Professor Schenck's
discovery means.
Professor McCloskie declares that the
Schenck proposition has already been
demonstrated in plant life and in some
forms Of animal life. Thus hemp, it is
female plant, grown in scant soil 1t
produces the male plant Working bees
fed upon rich food become queens; sal
amanders fed on parts of their broth
ers and sisters will produce almost
twice the percentage of females as
when fed ordinarily, while the starving
Of caterpillars makes them of the male
sex.
Modern biology has established the
fact that there is no fundamental diff
ference between the sexes. The eggs
of both sexes will live even If unsupple-
mented by those of the opposite sex.
though this experimentation is neces-
sary FOR healthy growth. The female
egg requires rich food. and moves slow
ly, While the male egg requires light
food and moves with great rapidity.

lakes waterfalls, lake margins and 9TH
er places possessing some value as sum-
mer resorts are in private ownership
and will remain so. The provision of
the law would possess higher merit if it
was completely effective in the way
of cleaning cut private owners from for
est reservations, but 1t will not do this.
In view of these considerations, it is
perfectly safe to assume that the own
ers of land which have heretofore been
denuded of their timber will seek other
lands and will receive them at the
hands of the Government without
further cost; and later on will be petit

influencing a policy is by no means far

Lynched by Small Birds.

A successful lynching took place on
the farm of Jerome Butler. south OF
Marlette, Mich, the other day. In the
barn a swallows nest was seen clinging
to the side of a beam from which was
suspended an English sparrow, hung by
the neck with a hair from horses tail,
as told by the Grand Rapids Herald. =
While Franklin Butler and Aria Albert
son were sitting in the barn they noticed
a sparrow go into the swallows nest,
from which he began pitching the young
birds Three swallows, attracted by the
outcry, Immediately pounced upon the
intruder. After confining him to the
nest for few minutes they threw him
out. He dropped about foot. there was
a jerk, and Mr.. Sparrow was hanged as
nicely as though an expert hangman
had been in charge. The hair was wound
around his neck several shines. and after
few Intellectual struggles he kicked his

HE GOT RELIGION.
And She Was Denied the Pleasure
of Scrapping With Him.

l had long suspected that / had lost
my way, and when the narrow winding
trail that I was following came to an
end in a clump of blue gums l was
sure of it.
There was a Shanty among the trees,
and in response to my hail an old wo-
man appeared in the doorway and COR
daily exclaimed:
"Howdy, stranger climb down an
hev a bite"
l explained that I had lost my way,
and only desired to be directed to the
right road.
After she had set me right she leaned
confidentially against my saddle and
said:
Stranger, I wish thet ye would do
me a favor"
I gallantly replied that it always gave
me pleasure to do a lady favor.
"Wul, do you see that critter over
thar?"
I did, although I had previously over
looked him.
He was leaning against the trunk of
a blue gum, with his hands meekly
folded in his lap, and he appeared to be
gazing into vacancy

thet l would go ter my grave in

down, onery critter pretended to git

fact is thet he wuz a licked man be-
fore he pretended to git religion, an
he knew hit, an this yere religious
racket is only a scheme of his ter git

But what is a poor lone woman goin'

thet will rouse thet thar critter up an
