A RACE OF DWARFs IN THE PYRENEES.
from The Birmingham Post.


Professor Miguel Marazta has made what
seems a curious anthropological discovery in the
Valley OF Rebas (Gerona), at the end OF the
Eastern Pyreneesl There exists In this dis
trict a somewhat numerous group or people,
who are called Nanos (dwarfs) by the other in
habitants and, matter Of fact are not
more than four feet in height. Their bodies
are fairly well built, hands and feet small.
shoulders and hips broad making them appear
more robust than they really are. Their feat
ures are so peculiar that there is no mistaking
them among others. All have red hair; the face
is as broad as long. with high cheek bones,
strongly developed jaws and fat nose. The eyes
are not horizontal but somewhat oblique. like
those of Tartars and Chinese. few struggling
weak hairs are found in place Of beard. The
skin Is pale and fiabby. Men and women are so
much alike that the sex can only be told from
the clothing. Though the mouth is large, the
lips do not quite cover the large projecting in
cisors The Nanos who the butt of the
other inhabitants. live entirely by themselves
in Rebas. They intermarry only among them
selves so that their peculiarities continue to be
reproduced. Entirely without education, and
without any chance of improving their condi-
ton they lead the life of pariahs. They know
their own names. but rarely remember those or
their parents, can hardly tell where they live
and have no idea Of numbers.

PROPHETIC WORDS

Here are few words from vel
balanced mind, who was not accus
toned to losing his nerve in the mosl
trying crisis. He was not pesimisl
but a man of calm judgement and
faith in his country. The conditions
which existed at the time he spoke,
exist now, and in q greater and ag-
gravated degree. They prove the
wisdom of his words.
1t is Abraham Lincoln who speaks,
man whose words had in them the
wisdom of seer. At times he spoke
as IF inspired; as if the clear vision of
the ancient fabled prophets had been
granted him, and this was one of the
times. He said:
ST see in the near future a crisis
approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of
my country. As result of the war
have been enthroned land
an era of corruption in high places will
follow. and the money power of the
country will endeayor to prolong it's
reign by working upon the prejudices
of the people until all wealth is ag-
in few hands and the re-
public is destroyed. 1 feel at this
more anxiety for the safety
Of my country than ever before, even
In the midst of war;

AN OREGONIAN's INVENTION.
A High Explosive That May Be Us
BY the Government

A High Explosive That May Be Used
BY the Government.
NEW YORK, June pa dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says:
Important tests with thorite, new
high explosive, are being conducted
by the board of ordance and forti6ca.
tions at the Sandy Hook proving
ground. Little is known at the war
department of the characteristics OF
the new explosive.
1t is the invention of Professor Tut
tie, of Oregon, who asserts it is per.
,fectly safe, and was willing some weeks
ago to put a red hot poker in bottle
of thorite declaring it would not cause
it to explode. 1t is believed to have
picric acid as its base. Tests of the
explosive by the inventor are said to
have been very satisfactory, and il
may prove to be the material the army
has been seeking. Besides thorite,
the ordnance department of the army
has been experimenting with jovite,
emmensite and dry and wet guncotton,
paying more attention to the last
named explosive than to any other.
So far none of them has given the re.
suits desired bsfore adoption for serv.

President and Mrs. Mckinley Will Not
Visit the Coast.
NEW YORK. June pa special to
the Herald from Washington says:
The state of Mrs. McKinley's health
at this time is decidedly worse than
since she has been in the White House
and the president will remain in
Washington probably all summer, and
will take very little vacation out of
the city.
President McKinley's projected trip
to the Pacific coast, which had been
looked forward to in anticipation of
enjoyment to himself and improvement
in Mrs. McKinley's condition has been
Abandoned. His trip to Minnesota
has also been abandoned.
The unfavorable turn in Mrs.
McKinley's condition is attributed to
cold, which she contracted just be.
fore she left Washington. Sne is
never strong and this cold seemed to
weaken her to such an extent as to
make it advisable Ito avoid the exer-
tion which would have been necessary
had she remained away as long as it
had been intended.

PLAYED TO THE GALLERIES.

The following, dispatch sent out
from Washington under date OF the
27th is only in confirmation of the sus.
pfcions of many people throughout the
country that the whole truth was not
told about the condition of affairs in
the Philippines:
"The people will soon believe they
are not getting all the information
concerning the situation in the Phil.
ippines. The reiteration said to have
come from General Otis that 10000
men were enough. taken with the fact
that the American army is practically
besieged on strip of Luzon six miles
north and south of Manila, looks very
queer. while there Is suspicion that
General Otis reports are fixed up for
home consumption, and that great
deal that he may say is not made pub.
lie. Suspicion is alec gaining ground
that Otis thinks he is pleasing the ad.
ministration by saying that 10000 men
