to give the foot a firm hold even on

AS for the patriotism of the Chinese,
if it ever existed, it is unquestionably
thing of the past. At the time of
the war with Japan, China had two
squadrons, the main or northern squad
ron, with headquarters at Port Arthur
and WeiHai Wei, and the southern
squadron, composed of fine Armstrong
cruisers, of gunboats and torpedo boats.
As it was clear that the Japanese would
carry the war into Manchuria and to-
ward the Gulf of Petchili, the southern
squadron was ordered to proceed north
ward and to reinforce the northern
feet. Far from obeying, the COM
manding admiral and his officers de-
cided that, being a great deal safer in
the south, they would quietly remain
there, and go up river, the entrance
of which could be defended by torpedo
mines, which they hurried TO lay.
Why, in the name of Confucius, should
they have exposed themselves for the
sake of defending the northern
provinces?
About the same time, the Chinese
government being in need of money to
carry ON the war, decided that a small
tax would be imposed upon the tea
plantations, most of whose proprie-
tors are wealthy, or at least well-to-do-
people. But these patriotic citizens,
in order to avoid paying that small
tax, begged the foreign merchants to
take the plantations in their names!-

The mineral production of the
United States for 1897 is put by the
Engineering and Mining Journal at a
Total valuation of $762, 061, ,106, of
which 1857, 451, ,172 is for metals and
1904, 500, 934 for non-metallic sub
stances. The gold production is esti-
mated at $50, 49S, $50 and the silver at
Sc, 1T, 900 ounces, worth $33, 55S, 900
against SO, 4SS, $40 ounces, worth $780,
245, ,991, in 1896. The gold product
is placed considerably under that of
Mint Director Preston, who puts it at
$61, 800, 900. With the exception Of
'the Southern States, whose yield is
inconsiderable, every State and terri
tory iii the Union that produces gold
has increased its output. Mr.. Pres
ton has shown himself very CON
servative statistician, as he under
estimated the 1896 production by $1O,-
900, 900. The difference between him
and the Engineering Journal is quite
considerable, but as both show big
gain over previous years and as bigger
gains are in sight for 1898 and an in
definite term thereafter, the public can
afford to rest easy until the full statis-
tics are obtainable.

One Of the New York printing ma
chine builders, says Engineering, has
succeeded in producing extremely ac-
curate gear-wheel castings 10y the
simple device Of using a machine-cut
metal pattern, aud baking the mold in
core oven before the pattern is re-
moved. Under these conditions the
metal mold expands while the clay
tends TO shrink, with the result that
on cooling, the pattern can be with
drawn, leaving behind it a perfect
mold. Wheels cast in this way show,
it is stated, the tool marks on the
original pattern, and customers have
accepted them as machine-cut wheels.

1t does not speak well for the Paris
police that fifty-three murders should
have been committed along the Sein e
within three months and yet the first
arrests are now made. According to
Gaboriau and other romance writers,
the French police track and overhaul
criminals with the instinct of the
bloodhound, but in real life their work
ioes not compare with the work of
English or American detectives, who
do not have the help of the admirable
French registration system.

General Roy Stone, Acting Presi-
dent of the NatiQnal League for Good
Roads, believes that he has found
way to make postal savings banks and
good roads promote each other. His
plan, in brief, is that postal savings
banks shall be established, and that
the Postoffice Department shall invest
the deposits in county bonds for the
building of good roads. The scheme
is favored by the League of American
Wheelmen, road improvement associa-
tions generally, and many educational
Institutions. G. w. Stone, o member
of Congress from Pennsylvania, has
embodied it in proposed amendment
to the Postal Savings Bill.

Crawash, crabs aud Holsters are pc
culiarly sensitive to loud noises, and
it is a fact that IA loud and sudden clap
of thunder will cause them to ampu-
tate or drop their large claws and
''pincers. The impulse which seizes
them when suddenly alarmed is to
throw off their heavy claws, so that
they may quickly scurry off to place
of safety. Crabs and Holsters can in
ten days or a fortnight grow new claws
as large as the old ones. For several
weeks, however, the patient who is
growing ON a new set of fighting wea-
pons, does not appear among tho
armed members of his family, because,
his claws being soft, he could not
take his own part and would bo

Whether on account of improved
sanitary conditions or on account OF
the increased skill which physicians
have developed in battling with dis.
ease, there is gratifying evidence of a
marked decline in the death rates of
our leading American cities during
the past year. As compiled by ono of
the leading medical journals of the
country. the death rates for the cities
of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Baltimore, Boston and

for the past year, are as follows;

While there is quite decided diff
ference between the death rates OF
some of the cities mentioned in the
foregoing table, the showing which
the record in its entirety .eyinces is
unusually gratifying. Although the
exact figures for this immediate sec
tion of the country are not accessible,
it may safely be affirmed that the
south will compare favorably with any
other section in point of healthfulness.
As for Atlanta, there is no city in the
United States which possesses superior
sanitary advantages.

A MILITARY DISGRACE.

There is no question that Gen
eral King will deal with Lieuten
ants Wheelock and Merriam &C.
cording to strick military law. 1t
is useless for the civilian here to
try to tell him what be shall or
shall not do. In the eyes OF the
people, however, these two officers
have disgraced themselves, dis
graced their regiment, disgraced
the American uniform, disgraced
American citizenship which by
virtue of shoulder straps they IN
fortunately prominently represent.
Citizens here made a great pow
WOW over the action of soldiers
who.went through the fruit gar
dens. There was some excuse for
these poor devils who had been
cooped up on transport ships, with
not too much of the best of rations.
They had no money and any man
can appreciate that the fruit gar
deus were a grievous temptation,
These fellows were jumped on by
civil and military officers. The
private who committed the crime
of stealing colonel's dinner was
chased over fourteen acre lots un.
til finally brought to the guard
tent.
Now two officers 60 on a foot,
disgrace themselves and make
asses of the men under their COM
mand. They have not shown one
hal the respect for the uniform
they weari.displayed by the COM
mon private. There is no excuse
to be offered for them. The officers
have enough to eat, they are not
uuderpaid and they have plenty of
freedom from campduty. We have
only the kindest words of sympa-
thy for the men whose officers
have given a rank exhibition of
conduct unbecoming a gentleman
and soldier.
