DISTRESSING THE TELEGRAPH
The Spanish Fleet Likely to Turn u
 Anywhere at Any Time.

Washington, April 22.-There Is a great deal of uneasiness in depart mental circles regarding the location of the Spanish fleet and flotil,a No reliance is placed on dispatches from the Cape Verde islands last night and today stating that the fleet was still there. The Spanish government is ip control of the telegraph and would all most certainly send out misleading reports.
 News Of the arrival of the fleet ar Porto Rico at any moment would cre- ate no surprise here. It would be heard, though, with relief, for it would remove many disagreeable surmises. It has been suspected that two or more of the five accompanying warships are hastening to intercept the Oregon.
 The suspicion that the fleet was not at the Cape Verde islands was strengthened tonight by report from Galveston that Captain Barnett of the British bark Artoun stated that it had sailed from Las Palmas three weeks ago for an unknown destination. It has not been heard from since except by telegraph from St. Vincent.

A last resort they crippled the ma- chinery.
 Captain Barnett says the torpedo fio- tilla did not want to encounter the United States fleet if it could be avoided. They will likely keep out of the track of our vessels and may con- tent themselves with picking up an occasional prize. The torpedo flotilla left Las Palmas March 29, and their destination was unknown

WHAT Is LIFE?
(From the Lancet.)

Mr.. Herbert Spencers definition Of the
nature of life implies. as is well known,
a continuous adjustment Of internal to
external relations. In other words, vital
ity is preserved by interactions going on
between the constituents of the pro-
toplasm. On the face of it this view
must be very materially modified in the
light Of some exceedingly interesting ex-
periments recently brought to the notice
Of the Royal Society by Mr.. Horace
Brown, whose classic researches on that
interesting class of ferments the envy
mes are well known. He has found that
by submitting seeds to the very low
temperature of evaporating liquid air
1. e., from-183% @. to--192$ C.-for 10
consecutive hours their power of ger
minating is not in any way impaired.
Since the above temperature is con-
siderably below that at which ordinary
chemical reactions take place the result
is very remarkable and would appear
to show that although a state of COM
plete chemical inertness in protoplasm
may be established 1t does Rot necessar-
lily lead to a destruction Of it's potential
activity.
Is the protoplasm thus brought to
resting" condition to burst into activ-
ity on restoring favorable conditions? If
80, what becomes Of life during this
"rest?' These observations are also of
interest in connection with the sugges-
ton Of Lord Kelvin that the origin of
life as we know 1t may have been extra
terrestrial and due to the "moss-grown
fragments from the ruins Of another
world" which reached the earth as me-
teorites.
That such fragments might circulate
in the intense cold of space for a per-
fectly indefinite period without preju-
dice to their freight Of seeds or spores,
is, Mr. Horace Brown remarks, almost
certain from the facts we know about
the maintenance of life by resting
protoplasm; the difficulties in the way Of
accepting such a hypothesis certainly do
not lie in this direction. Here is an
interesting problem for biologists and
the development of the question will be
followed with the keenest interest.

A PICTURE cARINET.

In these days of increased facilities for
the reproduction Of pictures, which are
literally scattered broadcast in the week
ly illustrated papers, and which many peo-
pie Of taste naturally wish to preserve, a
picture cabinet comes as a decided boon.
an apartment more than scattered paper;
therefore, "a place for everything and
everything in It's place." so far as plates
are concerned, win be found very use
full maxim to follow. Besides engravings,
many collectors find themselves possessed
of various autograph sketches, unfinished
water color drawings, photographs, rare
Japanese prints-not pictorial enough for
framing and placing in picture gallery
all of which require cataloguing and
placing in fitting receptacles. As a rule,
these specimens are either crowded to-
gether in the bureau or bookcase drawers
or put haphazard in box, where they lie
hidden perhaps for years. When the col
lector desires to exhibit his rare specimens
more often than not they prove very rare
indeed, inasmuch as they cannot be found
anywhere.
In the example of a picture cabinet
shown here is q series of shelves In the
desk. The drawer below could be made
more shallow at discretion, and of course
labelled in the manner suggested. The
top part of this picture cabinet is intended
either for vertical slots or to receive q
number of rollers, on which collection OF
posters may be fixed and let down al
pleasure. 1t is intended that the cabinet
should stand apart from the wall, as the
same features are repeated on both sides,

czEcHs AND GERMANS.

| The matter, mostly misunderstood out
side Austria, is briefly this: Bohemia,
Moravia and Silesia have a population
mixed Of Czechs and Germans, the per-
centage in Bohemia being about to 3,
the Czeehs living chiefly in the centre
| Of the province, the Germans occupying
the districts of the northwestern and
| northeastern frontier. The Czechs wish
to bring about the re-establishment CT
the former Bohemian kingdom and a
position in the empire similar to Hun
gary. Tie Germans in Bohemia desire a
detachment of their districts and a sep
arate administration for this territory,
because they claim to be oppressed by
the Czech majority of the Bohemian
diet in matters Of administration and
public education. Until lately all off,
cials In Bohemia were obliged to know
German, and only those in the Czech
districts had to prove q knowledge OF
Czech. Last spring Count Badeni the
prime minister Of Austria, passed a de-
cree ordering that law suits could be
entered in the Czech tongue at any court
of Bohemia, even in districts where not
l per cent of the population was Of
Czech nationality, ordering furthermore
that no official should be appointed in
Bohemia without a full speaking and
writing knowledge of Czech, and that
all German officials Of Bohemia must
learn Czech and pass examinations with
in four years. This was obviously Gone
to gain the good will of the radical
Czech party and their vote in parlia-
ment for the Ausgleich.
The Germans of Bohemia clain-and
every impartial judge must agree with
then-that this was an arbitrary vio-
lation of their rights, that it is a re-
striction OF liberty, and unjust to othe
highest degree from q national and RAJ
tional point OF view to compel their sons
and all officials to waste their time by
learning a language which is of very
little use in their purely German dis
tricts, and of no use whatever outside
the limits of little Bohemia. They claim
furthermore, that II such measures
were really necessary parliament should
pass a law based upon the constitution
and the fundamental state law, and
that such law should be valid for the
whole of Cisleithania and not for b.
hemia alone. They claim, finally-and
there cannot be the least doubt about it
that the decree of Minister Badeni
constitutes a breach of the constitution,
because It was passed without being
signed by the emperor and not pub
lished in the official gazette.-From

HINTS ON BEHAvIoR

Stewards at public dances do not like
to take upon themselves the responsibility
Of introducing partners to a lady, unless
she Is quite stranger, and her father or
brother have asked him to introduce gen
tlennen to her, in order that she may have
partners. 1t Is necessary after a dance,
for the gentleman to take his partner back
to her chaperon at once.
1t is not etiquette for a lady to dance
more than twice or, at most, three times
with one gentleman. The gentleman with
whom the lady is dancing the dance pre-
vious to the supper usually takes her in to
supper. He must also. take her back to
the ba1 room and to her chaperon. We
are frequently asked If a lady should re-
move her gloves at a ball supper? 1t is
usual to do so; if she does not, a second
pair are needed, which must be put on in
tho ladies' dressing room after supper.

TEN EYcK INTERVIEWED.
He Says Rowing Has Nothing to Do with
His Son Going to U. P.

The almost universal opinion entertained
by the public interested In sporting mat
ters is that because Ned Ten Eyck has
entered the University Of Pennsylvania
and the collegians take part in rowing, the
young sculler will have some part in the
development of the crew, either as mem
Der or as coach. The sculler has repeat
edly denied any prospective connection
with the crew, but the feeling still exists
James A. Ten Eyck, father of the sculler
has also been spoken of as a possible
coach of the u. of p. crew, and was in
terviewed on the subject Saturday by the
New York Herald, which reported him as
follows
Grew rowing said Mr. Ten Eyck, "has
nothing to do with my sons going to the
university He is there to take a course
of dentistry, and that's all there is to it.
MY son will not be eligible for the crew
this year anyway, according to the rules
Of the university"
'Ts 1t true that you are. to coach the
university crew next year,"
"Nothing has been done about that mat
ter so far as | am personally concerned
ElIis Ward has charge of the crew at the
present time, and as understand, this IS
the third and last year of his contract.
Ward is an old friend of mine, and he is a
good and conscientious worker, and
know that under the circumstances ne has
done his best with the materials he had.
