A MEAT FAMINE
THE POOR IN GERMANY SUFFER-
ING FOR BEEF
Laws Against Importing American
Foods May Be Repealed-The
Press Gets Very Friendly

BERLIN, Aug. 13.-(Copyrighted, 1885, by
the Associated Press) During the past fort
night the tone of the German press has
been much more favorable to the United
States, and hardly anything directly hos
tile has appeared in any of the more i'm
portant papers, while the number of jour
nails openly friendly have considerably in
creased. The papers now point out that the
authorities at Madrid and Manila and the
Spanish press were Largely responsible TOR
the excitement arising out of the Irene In
cident, as they misconstrued II. and pre-
ceding incidents in a manner that neces-
sarily aroused suspicion in the United
States.
The newspapers here today discuss
deliberately the new situation and the
changed conditions growing out of the war
The conclusion reached is that the United
States must hereafter be reckoned a great
naval power, and that Germany will be
obliged once more to increase her navy in
order to hold her own with the other
powers
Admiral Won Knorr, COMMUNICATIVE chief
of the imperial navy, informs the CORE
epondent of the Associated Press that dur
ing the approach of autumn and winter the
German navy will be more strongly repre-
scented in American waters than at any time
since 1891 when Germany took a leading
part In the settlement of the Chilean trou-
BILE. Five warships, the Geier, Hela,
Moltke. Sophie and Nixo, with a total ton
mage of 10,500 and carrying tfty-seven guns
and 1884 men, viii be kept there.
The meat famine that prevails through
out Germany is causing much dissatisfac-
tion among the poor, who unable to pay
the increased prices. Villagers on the
Silesian frontier daily cross the line and
visit the nearest Russian towns to procure
cheap meat The Berlin butchers this
week promulgated resolutions expressing
Indignation at the governments policy of
preventing meat imports. which caused a
scarcity of meat in the home market.

BOILING WATER WITHOUT FIRE
The Only Trick About It Is to Stir It
Long and Hard Enough

1t is possible to make pail of water boil
without putting it on the fire and without
applying external heat to it in any way. In
fact, you can make pail of water boil by
simply stirring Ii with wooden paddle. Inc
feat was recently performed in the phys
ical laboratory of Johns Hopkins university
in Baltimore, Md, and any one may do II
with a little trouble and perseverance.
All you have to do is to place your water
in a pail-it may be ice water If necessary
and stir 1t with wooden paddle. If you
keep at 1t long enough 1t will certainly boil
Five hours of constant and rapid stirring
are sufficient to perform the feat success
fully. The water will after a time grow
warm. and then 1t will grow hot-so hot. In
fact, that you cannot hold your hand in It,
and finally 1t will boil. Prof. Ames of Johns
Hopkins annually illustrates some of the
phenomena of heat by having one of his
students perform the trick in front of his
class. 1t is tiresome Job. but 1t is per-
fectly feasible.
The point which Prof Ames wishes 10
illustrate is what is known ae the mechani-
cal equivalent of heat. 1t requires just as
many foot pounds of work to develop CIV
en- quantity of heat. BY turning the paddle
in the water at a regular speed 1t Is pos
bic to find out Just how much work is re-
quired to raise the temperature of wate-
one degree. The best measurement so far
made, and, in fact, the one which is ac-
cepted as the standard of the world is
that which was measured in Johns Hop
kins university.
Heat is developed In almost any sub
stance which is subjected to continuous or
very violent action. 1t Is an old trick for
blacksmith to forge without fire. Long
continued and violent hammer1ng on two
pieces of wire will heat them to such an ex-
tent that they can be welded together. A
lead bullet If shot directly at stone wall
will develop heat enough by the contact 70
melt and fall to the ground in a molten
mass. There are many other occca sions
wherein this mechanical development Of
heat becomes manifest.-Philadelph En-
quirer.

A Fortune in the Mud

After the fall of Khartoum in 1885, an
enormous quantity of stores had to be
destroyed, owing to the want Of trans
port. Among them, says an exchange,
were about 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton, which was ordered to be thrown into
the Nile. The duty Of experimenting It's
destruction fell to Gen. Sir Herbert Kit
chener, and when 1t was finished he
found to his dismay that the contents
Of two of the boxes thrown into the river
were not ammunition, but 10 900 gold SOW
ereigns apiece, about 100000 in all. 1t is
hardly possible that any attempt will be
made to recover the lost treasure when
the expeditionary forces reach the spot,
for. after the lapse of thirteen years, 1t
must be buried beyond all hope of recov-
cry in the mud of which the bed of the
Nile Is composed.

SHE WAS HIS NURSE
Tender Remem brance of Her Services
by a Gilded Youth

A downtown cafe--famous for Its tapes
try and its flower garden-was the trysting
place for several gilded youth. One of them
had been blessed with birthday, and, as is
customary on such occasions, there was
everything in sight.
After the feast the convivals toasted to
their host and to the day for whose return,
and many of them they all prayed. They
toasted one another and themselves, but
our host, Billy, broke our hearts with his
greeting to woman.
Do you imagine it was to young woman,
to petite and gay woman, or to his grand
mother, a colonial dame? Not to one of
these, but to a poor old woman, to whom
he always sends birthday greeting in re-
membrance that she was once his nurse.
A messenger was called and soon re-
turned again with the largest bunch of
sweet peas money could buy, and the next
morning they gave forth their fragrance in
the sick room of this dear old woman.-De-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-(Special to

at the camp of the Seventh California to-

General Merriam late tonight issued an
order revoking the embarking order to the
troops assigned to the steamship Arizona,
and said in an interview that no more men
would be sent by him to Manila until direct
orders are received to that effect from
Washington.
This, 1t Is understood, means a revoca-
ton in a few days of the order assigning
the Seventh California to the Scandal, and
also probably the canoeing of the order
sending the Seventh to Manila. This action
on Merriam's part is because of the sign
ing of the protocol. OF that he has been
instructed to forward no more troops to
Merritt's aid, yet such an order is expected
at any moment. He says his personal
judgment is that sending more troops to
