Camp Outfits of Aluminium.

Among the new things which are be-
ing made Of aluminium are camping
sets of culinary utensils, advertised as
Klondike outfits, which are marvels, of
lightness. An outfit for six persons con-
sists of 80 separate pieces and weighs
complete but ID pounds. 1t comprises
four cooking pots, a coffeepot, two fry
ing pans, six cups, six knives, six forks,
six spoons and six plates, salt shaker
and pepper shaker. The pots are oval
in form. The biggest one measures 1917
inches one way by ~ inches the other,
and the whole set is made so as to pack
into this one. An outfit for three per-
sons, consisting of 81 pieces, weighs six
and one-fourth pounds only, and an out
fit for two persons, containing 5 pieces,
weighs only four pounds. York

A Hall of American History.

Steps are being taken at the national
museum in Washington to carry out an
idea long contemplated of developing a
hall of American history. Professor
Goode had long cherished the idea, and
Professor Holmes, who is in charge of
the department of anthropology, is
equally enthusiastic. 1t is the purpose
to have the institution as nearly nation
al in it's character as possible, and every
effort will be- made to have as many
things in it relating to early American
history, that of the United States in
particular, as can be obtained The OBJ
jects and relics will be presented chron-
ologically, beginning with the period
when Left Ericsson, in his Viking ship,
visited America. Then will follow in
order Columbus, the pilgrims, Captain
John Smiths party, the Dutch and 9TH
er settlers, after which will come relics
of the rebellion. There will also be ex-
hibits of the growth in facilities of nav
igation and of railroading, and of the
remarkable advance in the use of cleo
tricity. New York Post.

The North Sea is slowly but surely
absorbing the counties of Norfolk and
Suffolk, in England. The Cromer of
C9sar's day now lies two miles out at
sea under many fathoms of water,
and the tides are stealthily creeping
toward its successor, and already wash
the place where the brick wall of a
lighthouse stood not long ago.
1t is difficult to realize that the viii
lage of Dunwich, in Suffolk, was at
one time royal town, the seat of
King Sigebert's government; and that
as late as the fourteenth century it
was populous and prosperous town,
and maintained a fleet of war vessels.
A stealthy enemy was even then at
it's gates, and gradually the port was
blocked with sand; houses crumbled
into the sea by hundreds, and stately
monasteries and churches were en-
quilted. Today, Dulwich has shrunk
to tiny village with a population OF
little over 200 souls.

HORACE GREELEY As AN ORATOR.

Mr.. Greeley was not an orator in
any scholastic sense. He had poor
and somewhat squeaking voice; he
knew nothing of gestures; and he
could not take an orators pose, which
adds such emphasis sometimes to the
matter and argument to be set forth.
Not all his years of practice on the
platform and on public occasions ever
changed his habits and methods as a
speaker, and he ended as poorly
equipped in the respects named for
the vocation as when he began. But
ne had one prime quality, without
which all the others are exploited in
vain. He invariably had something
to say, and he said it in such clear and
WI olesome English, and with such
sincerity that he was an orator in
spite of all the rules.
To state it briefly, of all the emf
nent speakers have introduced-and
more than once-there was not one
who gave better satisfaction, different
and notable as they were, than Horace
Greeley. AS a consequence. he came
to me oftenest, and wore the best. We
might or might not agree with some
of his peculiar premises, as when he
says, "The moment a drop of alcohol
is received into the human stomach,
that moment the st omach recognizes
a deadly enemy;n but he SET his audi
ence thinking, and Illuminated his
theme.-Hdrper'S Magazine.

A BEAUTIFUL NEW SILK.
Made by communal Butterflies" but IT
Cannot Be Spun Yet.


Cannot Be Spun Yet.
Some very remarkable bugs are being
! Matched and reared just at present by
the experts of the government bureau of
entomology at Washington. Most peo-
pie would suppose that there were
enough insects in existence without re-
sorting to artificial propagation, but the
/ fact is that this kind of scientific work
has very useful purpose in view; this,
too, Notwithstanding the fact that the
| species selected for breeding are the
most pestiferous that can be found.
The bug hatchery, or "insectary, as
it is called, is brick building close by
the department. of agriculture. In con-
struction it resembles a greenhouse, the
upper part being of glass, SO as to admit
plenty of light for the insects. 1t is divid-
ed into two compartments, one of which
is artificially heated for the benefit OF
tropical and other species that require
warmth, while the other is cold. On
shelves all around the interior and on
the floor as we'll are glass jars and queer
glass sided boxes containing a great va
riety of odd looking objects.
The objects in the glass jars are parts
of plants, fruits, dried up vegetables,
pieces of branches or roots, etc. One
does not see any bugs at all, and the
reason why is simply that the vegeta-
bles, fruits and SO forth are the natural
| food of the insects, and the latter are
either inside of them or else are "done
up" in cocoons for the winter.
For example, there is a huge cocoon
nine inches long hanging from twig
in a jar of exceptional size. This is the
temporary communal dwelling built by
the SO called "gregarious butterfly" in
Mexico. More correctly speaking, it is
the erpillars-transform later into
butterf1ies-that construct the cocoon
for a residence while they are undergo
ing their metamOrphosis. The cocoon
looks and feels as if made of thick
parchment, and at the lower end of it
is small hole that serves for door.
The labor employed in building it
must be enormous. Under a powerful
magnifying glass it is seen to be COM
posed of an infinite number of shining
and very slender silken threads, cross
ing each other in every direction. When
cut into, the nest is found to contain
100 or more chrysalids, attached to the
walls on the inside-each one represent
ing future butterfly.
The habit of combining together to
build house seems to be peculiar to
this species among butterflies. The silk
composing the nest is exquisite, and
from 20 to 25 sheets of it can be strip
ped off from the great cocoon, looking
as if woven in a loom. If the silk could
only be spun, the "gregarious butterfly"
would soon displace the silkworm, and
the silks and satins of commerce would
be of butterfly manufacture. Unfortu-
nately the difficulty remains unsolved,
though many attempts in this direction
have been made. Could solution of
the problem be found, silk would be-
come at once enormously less costly, in
asmuch as the cocoons of this kind of
butterfly are to be gathered in immense
numbers as wild crop in the forests of

ROBERT INGERSOLL ON CUBA
SPAIN BarbarOus Cruelty Is Pic
tured in Words.

Liberty is my religion, and by liberty
men when every man enjoys himself, but
not at the expense of another. What light
Is to the eyes, what air is to the lungs
what love Is to the thought, liberty Is to
the soul of man. 1t is the seed and soil
the light and air. the dew and the rain OF
progress, love and joy. Whoever IS not
willing to give to every other human be-
ing whatever right he claims for himself
l care not what his position, his power
his culture, his wealth, he is simply a saw
age"
In these words Colonel Robert G. Inger.
soil introduced himself and his topic to
the great audience which filled every
available space in McVicker's theater
Chicago, to hear him speak on Liberty
With him the transition was easy from
liberty as text to the war now being
waged by the United States against
Spain, which he declared was the only
war ever waged for humanity's sake
alone. Every point-and there were many
was greeted with applause which some.
times rose to the dignity of a storm OF
acclaim. The audience was typical of the
thought and force of the community.
There is one thing of which 1 am
proud" Colonel Ingersoll went on, land
that is our fathers solved in the new
world the problem of equality. I am glad
our fathers were great and brave enough
to say No to taxation without represen-
tation. l am glad that they were brave
enough to say that every man should
have his right in making the laws of the
land he is bound to obey, and that they
threw down the gauntlet to one of the
mightiest nations then upon the globe.
Something like that has happened in
the world in our time. Do you know there
is a little island out In the Atlantic that
touches our shores, an island that has
about 100000 of people, an island with a
climate like the bridal of the earth and
sky, with a soil recklessly rich? When
that island was discovered it was inhabit-
ed by the gentlest race of people then liv-
ing in the world, but when the discoveries
endeavored to make slaves of these peo-
pie, and-although they were kind and
loving and gentle-they refused to be
slaves. they were hunted by dogs, Scared
and mutilated and murdered, annihilated.
DO you know that from that time to
this that same power has robbed every
individual of that beautiful island? And
do you know little while ago they lifted
the banner of revolt and for three years
they fought as valiantly as human beings
ever fought?
Oppressed, assassinated, starved, Cuba
fell upon her knees and stretched her
thinly transparent hands toward this great
republic and implored aid and succor. We
looked. We saw her eyes filled with tears,
her shrunken frame, her pallid babes, her
dying and her unburied dead, and mercy
moved to redress wrong became as stern,
as IMPLYING as justice, and the great re-
public drew the sword of war and said to
Spain: Take your bloody hand from the
throat of the helpless. Sheathe your dag
ger of assassination. Your flag shall no
longer pollute the free air of the western
world"

For years there have been lot of shacks

measures have been resorted to. A writ
of ejectment was secured and executed on
one man, and others took the hint and
moved on. Fearing they might repent of
their good resolution and return, the COM
