mouse had long been known to be
the bitterest enemy of womankind. Just
why the average run of fem
ininity should fear such help,
less, harmless little creature can
not be explained. During the
civil war a famous female spy was
betrayed through the instrumentality
of "A mouse. The woman was masquer-
aiding as a boy and succeeded admira-
bly, in deceiving the enemy until one
evening while dining with a party of
men at a farmhouse black mouse
jumped from a cupboard to the table,
almost in the face of the supposed boy.
With a shrill feminine shrek the spy
threw up her arms and rushed across
the room, and, springing on a couch,
went into Mysteries from sheer fright.
The men of course suspected her, and,
rather than be searched, she confessed,
but by the aid OF the loyal old farmer
and his wife she made her escape in
the night.
A well-known woman physician of
Chicago says she can do any kind of
surgical work without a tremor, but
the sight of a mouse turns her strange
ly i'll and thoroughly ''unwomans" her.
Another woman, Mrs William f.
Phennefruk, living in South Marion
street in Delaware, o.. has such a ter
ror for mice that she recently went in
sane through fright at one of the wee
creatures. The woman was sweeping
her cellar when mouse darted out
from an old barrel and ran about her
feet She tried to step on it and beat
| at it with her broom, calling piteously
to her little boy to help her. But the
boy, thinking she was in fun. fright
ened the terrified mouse toward the
woman whenever it tried to get away.
At length the boy rushed at it in earn
est and the mouse darted under the
woman's skirts and she fell to the floor
insensible, only to lose her mind when
at length consciousness returned to her.

THE salute was not fired" the mess
age ran, according to an old chronicle,
because we had on board an elephant
from Madras. This elephant has a
great misliking for noise, and is of
most violent disposition. Therefore we
did not resort to powder and guns to
express our respect for the most honor
able directors, fearing lest the elephant
might be alarmed or angered and break
loose and do much damage.
But it is to no oversight or lack of
courtesy and to this beast only, that
the silence Of our ship is due; where
fore we have confidence that the direc-
tors will accept our excuses, in consid-

The excuse was duly accepted, al

ture smiles and the easy beggars air

/ am writing while the carnival sea-
son is at its height, and the streets a
din and commotion all day long, with
parties of masqueraders parading with
lively step to the accompaniment of
guitars and other instruments. The
principal square of the city is gay with
decorations and the short principal
street is filed by a laughing crowd,
who are packed into noisy. jostiing
mass. kept in continual pandemonium
by the throwing of confetti or balls
of finely-cut colored paper, inclosed by
thin wrapper, which bursts when it
strikes, covering it's victim with the
shower of paper.
The targets are the girls who sit on
chairs arranged along the sidewalk,
while the center of the narrow street
is filled with promenading bombarders.
The balconies are all crowded with more
laughing girls, who try to return the
throwing in feminine fashion. Long
tangled strips of paper ar thrown across
the street and fly in festoons from bal
cony to balcony. The noise and COM
motion, the dust. din and color of the
animated crowd, fairly make ones head
swim.
This lasts four days, when a pause is
taken for rest and refreshment, and
the gaiety renewed for one boisterous
day, the following Sunday.
Each night there is a ball. where
those who have energy enough left
dance themselves into the next morn
ing, and then begin all over again.
Nothing could better illustrate the
charming manners of the Spanish than

Everywhere the best of good feeling is
manifested, and the thoroughly demo-
cratic good will existing between all
| classes is seen in the somewhat rather
hard knocks which are given and taken

and poor, who all join in the fun to-

From my experience of more than six
weeks in Spain, I have only the very

plying all the needed power in the va
rious operations is quite as serious as
if we were confronted with an eX-
haustion of coal.
The most interesting result of
somewhat hasty calculation as to the
amount of power which we could OBJ
tain from the sun is that rapid growing
grains and cereals which might yield
one or two crops per year would give
a very considerable source of power
In fact, that it is not at all unlikely
that by the raising of certain grains
which could be grown upon relatively
useless pieces of land sufficient carbon
and hydrogen might be obtained so
that in it's combustion a fair substitute
for coal could be found. This, of course,
would be drawing upon our Immediate
resources the energy of the sun. That
will in all probability if fully utilized
be sufficient for a long time to come
in doing the work which we require.
Unquestionab the time is very near
drawing upon the stored energy in the
form of coal will be greater than our
possible income in the way of vege-
tation. When such balance has been
reached the amount of oxygen in the
atmosphere will of course become less
and will be replaced by carbon and
this will mark the beginning Of the
end
The estimates as to the length of
time when We may expect to have
sufficient coal seem to to me to be
somewhat oVerdrawn. Though the rate
of increase in horse power in the Unit
ed States has been enormous in the last
two or three decades, that percentage
increase cannot and will not be main
tanned. Most of the estimates have
been based upon the maintenance of
the same percentage increase. but | am
