Porto RICO.
Splendid Lecture by Hon. j. ID. Dewell,
Last Night.

|
About twenty members of the Social
Science club heard a splendid lecture
last night on Porto Rico by Hon. j. D.
| DeWell Those who failed to attend GER
tainly missed a rare treat. Mr.. Dewell
told of things observed on the occasion
of his recent trip to the islands. He
was listened to most attentively for
more than an hour. His talk was illus
trated by the use of maps and other ar
ticles which he brought home. He paid
special attention to military road that
is built from San Juan to another town,
a distance of eighty-th miles. The
road was begun in 1874 and finished in
+ 1867 Tt is watched and kept in repair
the same as are the railroads in this
country. Watchmen are stationed at
intervals of about three miles through
out the roads entire length and 1t is
their duty to see that it is kept in per-
i feet condition. The road is built of
crushed stone, which is a foot in depth
at the center and tapers to a depth Of
six inches at the edges. He compared
the roads of New Haven with this road
and spoke of the people who live in
Porto Rico. He said that the Porto Ri
cans were sluggish and not in the least
energetic, while their roads were in ex
cellent condition and they had reason
indeed to be proud of them. Here in
New Haven the people are wide awake
and progressive, but the streets and
roads are in miserable condition. He
told also of the products of the islands,
saying that they are principally coffee
and sugar. Oranges, lines and bananas
also grow in abundance. He did not
consider it the proper place for anyone
to go to Porto Rico who was not de-
sirous of working hard. 1t is not place
where you can lie still and make money.
After the lecture there was some dis
cussion of the same by Charles L. Bald
VIM A. E. Rowland and George Mans

! Closing Lecture by Professor William
Lyon Phelps-The Next Course.
Professor William Lyon Phelps gave
the last of his series of lectures in the
| University Extension course on Ameri-
| can literature in Warner hall last night.
! The attendance was the largest of the

interesting one, being on the life and
work of Mark Twain. After dwelling
| at some considerable length on the past
work of Mark Twain, Professor Phelps
said that he considered that Mark
Twain was growing deeper and broader
as he grew older and that he was one
of the great literary men of the period.
There isl he said, good ground for
considering Mark Twain as the fore
most novelist, if not the foremost liter
airy man of our age
In concluding Professor Phelps thank
ed his auditors for the attention which
had been paid to his lectures and added
that this was a source of much personal
satisfaction.

From the Independent: In that far
off, dried-up little oriental country,
quite near China, there are large guam
titles of counterfeit coin in circulation,
and the counterfeiters of Siam must be
most proficient, for we hear that it il
the hardest thing in the world to ue-
tect the bad from the good money. The
merchants are often deceived and fire.
uusAtly swindled. The smartest men
tbsy could employ were deceived, too,
for the bad money was such wonder
fol imitation that the closest scrutiny
often failed to find the difference be-
tween good and bad piece In this
dilemma some Siamese merchants call
ed to their help someone who was al
ways thought not SO smart as a man
monkey. And these large apes of
Siam" proved such a success at their
new vocation that the custom of en-
ploying them for the purpose Of de-
tecting bad money has become uniyer-
sal. The ape cashier of Siam holds his
situation without rival. He has a
peculiar method Of testing coin. Ev-
cry piece is handed to him and he picks
up each bit of money, one at a time,
and meditatively puts 1t into his
mouth, tasting it with grave uelibera-
ton. If the coin is good he declares
the fact plainly. He takes 1t from his
mouth and carefully places it In Its
proper receptacle beside him. he has
pronounced judgment and every one is
satisfied that the judgment is correct.
But If the coin is bad the cashier then
makes known his verdict in an equally
unmistakable manner. He throws it
violently from his mouth to the floor.
shaking his head with as much disgust
as the merchant himself might feel at
being imposed upon. With loud cna.-
tering and angry gestures he makes
known his displeasure at being pre-
sented with bad piece Of money. The
merchant himself could not express II
better. Now, how does a monkey
know what man cannot tell? All.
that Is his secret. He never reveals it.
Perhaps he is afraid If he should maze
known all the mysteries of his profess
sion his occupation might be gone and
people would once more prefer men for
in place of the extraordinary
apes employed by the merchants of
Siam.

The most remarkable snapshot pic

story Is extremely curious. 1t seems
that he went one day to a blacksmith
shop to get shot at the men at the
FORGE The smith was engaged on a
difficult piece of iron work, and had
two helpers. Just behind them, on a
shelf, was a pint flask, full Of yellow
ish-white liquor-evidently the corr
whiskey for which the native Georgian
has a peculiar liking. AS my friend
was preparing to take his picture one
Of the helpers caught sight OF the bot
tie and communicated his discovery by
dumb show to his companion. The
smiths back was turned at the mo-
ment and the first man reached
stealthily for the prize, while my

that the camera clicked. and the pic

contained carbolic acid When my
friend took one print he broke the
negative so as to make the photograph
absolutely unique. 1t shows the for

ground is the anvil, with the smith
bending over his work. Behind him
