quoted as saying, restricts the action of the
digestive apparatus, and especially of the
lower intestine, and causes stagnation of
the contents and the stretching of the open

possible for Instructions to reach the lat

says Leslie's Weekly. There is no other
disease, II we may judge from the attention
given to it by current publications, in which
the general public takes so much interest
as IN this one, which is comparatively new
TO medical practice. Probably much of the
popular interest is due to the fact that only
within a few years what may be called the
literature of appendicitis has reached the
reading community.

FOUND IN THE OLYMPICS.

AS the result of three months labor by
a party working for the Field Columbian
museum, a new species of elk has been
found in the Olympic mountains in Wash
ington. The party collected many wonder
full geological specimens, which will be sent
to Chicago. In September Professor Ell
lott. who headed the party, was within a
few miles of Mount Olympus, when strange,
rumbling noises were heard. He believes
that somewhe in the mountainside a
great glacier is continuously dropping ice
bergs into some huge abyss, and that the
noises come from falling ice. He does not
believe that any one has yet reached the
base Of OLYMPUS, much less climbed it.

ALIEN

In one county in Iowa is a township that
is noted for it's immense bowlders. MANY
OF them are as high as ordinary stacks of
hay, and fully as large. They exist in all
shapes, and loom up in the distance like
landmarks. 1t is probable thai they were
brought there and deposited during the
glacial period; for there are no other stones
of any description in that entire region.

A dispatch received from Manila.

h a General Otis has received messages
p%urpOrting to come from the insurgent
general, Pho del Pillar. offering to sell
out his army and deliver Aguinaldo in
to the hands of the Americans. AL
though he is not satisfied that this Of
fer is authentic. it is not intrinSically
improbable. The policy of General
Otis is firmly set against buying any
surrcndcrs.
Pho del Pillar offers. for the sum Of
$4,000, to refrain from attacking Ma
Mia with his army: for the sum of
$25O,O0O he offers to surrender his army
after Il sham battle, both sides firing
into the air. and for the sum of $500, 900
he says he will procure the overthrow
of the insurrcction and capture of
Aguinaldo and the other leaders. In
the course of the communication he re-
fcrs to Aguinaldo in contcmptuous
terms, indicating that strained rcla-
tions exist between them.
Reports are being received from the
districts occupied by the enemy that
the Filipinos believe that Pho del Pillar
has an audacious plan to break
through the American lines into Ma
Mia and seize General Otis and the
archbishop.

were captured by the Filipinos and for

following message from the queen:

constituted, in the opinion Of her ma
jcsty,, a ease of emergency within the
meaning of the act of parliament, her
majesty deems it proper to provide adj
ditional means for military service.
She has, therefore, though it right to
communicate to the house that her ma.
jcsty is, by proclamation. about to or
der the embodiment of the militia and
to call out the militia reserve force. or
such part thereof as her majesty may
think necessary, for permanent serv-
ice"
The calling out of the militia and the
military reserves has occasioncd wide
spread wonderment. 1t is freely ru-
mored that the government is deter
mined to demonstrate to Europe that
the British army is not u negligible
