WELCOMED AT PARIS.
The Automobiles Increase In Num-
bers and Popular Favor.
Not only Pleasure Vehicles Hut
PubIIc Cabs and Delivery
Wagons Are Now In
Practical Use.

Copsul~0eneral Gowdy at Paris, re-
ports TO the state department that
there has been a marked increase dur
ing the past year in the use OF autimo-
biles in the city OF Paris not only as
pleasure vehicles, but for practical ap-
.plicaton az public cabs, and for busi-
ness purposes rs delivery wagons.
They are especially useful for long dis
tances. II is announced that soon there
will be 100 motor cars driven by cleo
trielty running In the streets of Paris,
and, II the experiment be successful.
the cabs will be increased to 1000.
With this project In view, u large plot
of ground has been acquired, where the
building of works necessary for the
housing Of the cabs and machinery for
the electric supply nre being rapidly
completed.
a training ground also has been made
for the cab men. This Is laid out with
every possible form of paving wood,
asphalt, stone, etc.--including two
steep hills. Here and there are dotted
about a number of dummy figures, and
In and out of these the cab men have TO
maneuver, under the orders of an in
structor. AS q rule In four lessons. II
Is stated, the driver Is ready TO nayi-
gate Paris, and after ten. lessons Is con-
sidered thoroughly competent.
Each cab is supplied with sufficient
power TO be driven 80 miles at about
eight miles an hour.
Among the systems of automobiles
In Paris there are many using petro-
leum. which called forth most pro-
nounced objection from the public by
reason, first, of the odor passing fol
lowing their passage; second, the noise,
and third, for the passengers, the ex-
traordinary vibration. A consumms-
tion of great value would be machine
which would combine durability, speed
and economy withoutthesea annoyances
and defects

DEFECT IN CARS PLAN.
Lo-d Roberts, of Kandnhnr, COnstdl-
ers Disarmament Scheme Ia
lmprnctica

Lord Roberts. of Kandahar, points
out what he considers fatal defect in
the czar's disarmament proposal. lie
says the bHrbarous outnumber the civ
ilized peoples by many millions, and
the arguments which might induce civ
ilized men 10 lisarm would have no ef-
feet on the barbarnns. AS long as
there ure so many barbarians force will
be required 10 restrain their uprlsiDgs
against civilization. In q letter TO w.
II. Stead's new peace periodical, War
Against War, Lord Roberts undoubted.
ly expresses the general feeling of re-
Elective soldiers and men of affairs up
on the actual situation. Lord Roberts
adds that while experienced soldiers
have no love for war, whose enormous
wastes and hardships they are in the
best position TO realize, he believes dis
armament impracticable until civilized
nations agree to rest content with " hat
they have, and not 10 strive for any
thing more, and until barbarism shall
give place to civilization all over the
world. What would be the fate OF the
inhabitants of the civilized nations, he
asks. II they should deprive themselves
of the means of defense against the
barbarians? What would unarmed civ
'ilization do against armed ba rbarism?

AIDS SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.
George JAubet Discovers Method
OF Renewing Oxygen
in Air.

An important discovery has been an
nounced by the French Academy of
Medicine. George Jaubet has been ex-
perimenting on how to supply air or
renew oxygen air for man hermeti-
cally sealed in space like diving bell.
His hypothesis was that 70 per cent. of
nitrogen contained in respirable air
remains intact after the 81 per cent. of
oxygen has been consumed, and that
the same nitrogen, mixed with new
supply of oxygen, again becomes res
pirable air when the carbonic acid and
vapor produced by breathing has been
removed. NJ. Jaubet found his hypoth-
esis to be correct. The most important
question was the generation of oxygen.
1t appears that he has discovered a
chemical substance which, by contact
with the atmosphere. clears the viii
ated air Of all impure gases produced
by respiration and refurnishes, auto
matically. the requisite quantity of
oxygen. He states that six TO eight
pounds of this substance will enable
a man to live for "a hours In diving
bell. The Importance of this discovery
TO submarine navigation is apparent.

ISLAND SINKS IN OCEAN.
british Man-Of-War Takes ImpOr-
tant SOundInEH in south
Sean.

The news has been brought to San
Francisco from Australia that the
British man-of-war Penguin has just re-
turned to Sydney, N. S. W., after taxi
ing soundings between the island Of
Longi and Auckland, NJ.
The officers found that Falcon island,
which suddenly came up out OF the
ocean in 1885. is gradually receding.
When relocated by the Penguiu's Off
GERS they discovered that the island is
now three fathoms under water.
The officers of the Penguin also sue
ceeded in taking the temperature of
the ocean at greater depth than ever
before. Hitherto where the thermom-
eter got down a certain distance IL was
invariably broken. On this occasion the
Thermometer was sent down 4,762
fathoms, where the temperature was
found to be 35.5 degrees, while on the
surface the temperature was So de-
grees.
This, the officers of the Penguin as
sert, Is the deepest ocean reading ever
taken.

ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL.
effort BeInE Made to Have the PIRn nj
Enlarged to hanufaotnre
small Arms.

Friends of the Rock 1sland arsenal
have been In Washington for some time
trying 10 get more liberal treatment
by congress of that institution. They
hope TO secure part of the appropria-
tion for new machines, and the idea is
10 build up the Rock Island plant so as
10 enable the manufacture there Of
small arms for the army. It is said by
the engineer officer and the ordnance
experts that the plant of the Rock Is
land arsenal is susceptible of develop
ing TO such an extent as to justify the
employment of $4,000 men there.
The recent war with Spain and the
condition of fright which,was SO prev
alent in Massachusetts have led many,
thinking men of the house to the con-
clusion that the government shonld
have fully equipped arsenal and pow
der factory so far in the interior of the
country as 10 be absolutely secure from;
invasion by any foreign army. This
feature of the case is being impressed
upon the attention of the house, and
will, 1t is said, receive careful attention,
so that in all probability Rock Island
will at no distant date become great
center of ordnance supplies for the
army.

before he knew what had happened the
Illinois senator was being carried to

The situation was so curious, Senator
Cullom forgot all his pains, and, with
a smile, said:

PATTI .FuLF1LLs A PROPHECY.
Thtra Ma rraA@S ofthe Diva Prealicsed
byyhR Italian ~ PeRsRnt 'vNoman
Many Years ARo.

The prophecy ofnn old Italian pens
ant Woman WINS fulfilled at Brecon,
Wales, when Adeiina .I1atti took Baron
Cederstrom as he third husband. Patti
knew OF the prophecy aud probably
found consolation therein when Roman
Catholic and lutheran ecclesiasticism
seemed TO stsr1 between her and, her
third Inarriag,.
The forecast. which Patti made true
Is found In volume of rambling
sketches, entitled Lies Fugitives de
Vienne." by Adolph Belot. The.volume
was brought out In Paris in 1883. Belot
relates that while he was in Monte
Carlp Patti was made the subject Of
conversation between him and some
friends. lie expressed a hope to hear
her In PuHs, but was told IL was vain,
as she vast o sail for America.
"She has been told" said Belot's
companions, "that II she goes to Ameri-
ca she will never come back, for she
would die while, crossing the sea. A
woman of her own country told her
this"
"Eh, bieni" replied Belot, "but to
reassure her there is another prophecy
which she probably has forgotten. One
day in Florence Il heard in the hotel,
where we both happened to be staying,
a peasant woman predict to her that
she would be married three times. AS
Marquis de Crux is not yet dead 1t is
hardly probable that from the month
OF October to the month of March, her
American season. she will have the
time TO bury Marquis de Cruxs to marry
Nicolini, TO bury him also, and to take
a third husband. As the one predicted
eontradiGts the other, advise her in
her own interests to choose rather the
second than the first"
Patti took Belot's advice and chose
the second prophecy. She made her
American tour safely and lived TO see
both the marquis and Nicolini buried.

The Deadly Trolley In Egypt.

Inthe first four weeks after the open
ing of the electric railroad at Cairo,
Egypt, itis said that no less than 80
persons were killed, and since that time
the weekly average Of victims is seven
or eight This very high rate of casual
ties is supposed TO be due In part to the
imperfect sight OF many natives in con-
sequence of the prevalent eye diseases,
but fully as much is due perhaps TO the
fact that they are unfamiliar with such
swift-moving vehicles.
