snake, dreaded of all wild creatures. with
its poisonous bite or its strangling hold,
but a thing with teeth and claws, trying
to put out his eyes.
The attitude and notified skin of the
cat, and the warning note Of snake-like
defiance. were developed through thousands
of years during which the feline creature
was on the defensive and needed to learn
deception. The student Of history will find
nations which have developed peculiar
traits in ways exactly analogous to this.
Craft Is the weapon of the weak. The con-
quered have to set their brains to work to
circumvent the conqueror. So long as the
mere struggle for existence dominates
human relations-and it must do so to a
certain extent for ages to come-there will
always be this conflict, and 1t will always
but less acute people. Civilization. how
ever. manages to set in operation a diff
ferent law. When the conquerOr knows
enough to make friends with the con-
quered, to set them to helping him instead
of holding them down by force. he may
hope to keep his power. This is one of the
reasons of Britains greatness; and this
is the secret of the rapid development of
our own country. We shall be strong just
SO long as the weak have what they might
call "a show" We must hold to the prin-
ciple of fair play.

ANDRES BROTHER HOPEFUL.
He Expects to Hear From the Ex-
pIOrer Next Summer.

MOBILE. Ala, Oct. 2s.-Evelyn B. Bald
win, the Arctic explorer and observer in
the United States Weather Bureau, who
has been assigned to duty at this station.
has arrived here from Washington. He
has just received letter from Captain
Ernst Andree, of Sweden, brother of the
Polar aeronaut, from which the following
is an extract expressive OF Andree's con-
fdence in his brothers safety and his con-
lecture as TO his whereabouts:
My opinion is that if my brother had
landed anywhere between Sc or SIS de-
grees north and 20 or 50 degrees west and
$50 degrees west (Greenwich longituiel We
would have heard from him. Bat, not hav-
ing heard directly from him as to his hav-
ing landed. | think he must have come
down to the west Of $50 degrees and be-
tween SO and 81 degrees north. From 50
degrees north and $50 degrees longitude il
is about seven hundred and fifty miles to
the nearest known land, TO New Siberia.
Taymur, Franz Josef Land. Greenland and
the Parry Islands. At the same daily
progress made by Nansen, OF three miles,
it would take him two years to reach the
coast of the Parry Islands, and another
year before he could communicate with
civilization.
My brother several times expressed his
wish to examine the ocean north of the
Parry Islands. The last one of my broth
ers buoys was found on the north coast
Of Iceland. Lately. however another has
been found On the north coast of King
Charles Land. east of Spitzbergen He had
with him twelve buoys, eleven smaller
ones and large one, the latter to be
thrown out when the balloon was as far
north as the expedition expected to reach.
If the expedition reached 81 or So de-
grees north and 30 or loo degrees east. and
then got northerly winds, it is most like
ly they would have thrown the buoy. not
expecting to go any more to the north
But the wind might have changed in a few
hours again to the south or southwest and
thus have carried the balloon to 81 or Sc
degrees north and 80 degrees west or $50
degrees.
Here they may have landed in an unex-
plored region, and previously to reaching
land they may have sailed backward and
forward several times. Remember that
the balloon sailed fifteen or sixteen miles
an hour during the first three hours.
Il do not put the least faith in any of
the many reports, with the exception, of
course. of the pigeon message and the two
buoys. / do not expect to hear anything
more this year, but expect to hear all the
more next summer.

The Spanish Princesses.


The Princess of Asturias, the eldest
daughter of the Queen Regent, completed
her nineteenth year recently. Her sister,
Dona Maria Theresa, is only seventeen.
Both princesses have been carefully edu-
Gated, under the care of their mother by
English and Austrian governesses, and
speak several languages fuently. Queen
Christina has also made her daughters de-
voted Catholics like herself In court cir
cles it is said the Princess of Asturias
has taken more after her mother, whom
she very much resembles in carriage and
in her thoroughly Viennese distinction of
manners and appearance, than the Infanta
Theresa, who has taken strikingly after
her father, the late King Alfonso-quite
Bourbon, in fact.
On the occasion of the Princess of As
turias' birthday the Madrid papers have
been full of rumors about an alleged pro-
ject of marriage between her and a grand
son of Queen Victoria. This statement has
been officially contradicted, and it has been
intimated that Spanish Bourbon princesses
could not marry Protestants or enter on
any suit which would be likely to be dis
approved by the Vatican and the Spanish
Catholics.
1t is singular to observe that the idea
of an English match was very warmly
taken up by many Spaniards, who freely
expressed a desire to see relations of all
kinds developed between England and
Spain. They urge that many grounds exist
for more friendly and closer understand
ing between two countries whose interests
do not clash in Europe or Africa, and in
view Of the fact that British capital and
enterprise already play so important
part in Spanish mines, commerce, and
finance.

An Analogy of Evolution,

Some one has been investigating cat
tendencies, and has pointed out one OF
the many facts which help to piece out
the history of long centuries of evolution.
Before the Darwinian theory was heard
of, such facts were scarcely noted; now
they suggest even TO the imagination OF
the unscientific person, picturesque scenes
of struggle, of cunning contrivance, and
of hairbreadth escapes.
The observations of the investigator here
referred to concern the cats dealings with
her enemies. Everyone knows that in the
presence Of foes. especially of her heredl-
tary foe, the dog, puss arches her back,
waves her tail. and Kisses violently It
is now pointed out that the shape of the
cat at this point in the quarrel is very
much like that of a snake, and that she
also closely resembles serpent when coiled
up asleep. The markings on the feline
head. back and tail. are serpentine, and the
common grey cat is of much the same
color as a rock snake. Like the yellow

deadly that the tiniest kitten knows all
about it the first time it hears a dog yelp.

on through cons of animal life, weeded

defence in every tribe. Like other animals

regard his chance-to stand the enemy off

as a reasonable one. But, to assume the
most favorable conditions possible in the
circumstances, it could not be said to be a
brilliant one

FILES A DIVORCE SUIT.
Mrs. Neuscheler. of st. Louis. Charges
Cruel Treatment.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 2S.--A divorce suit,
filed in the circuit court yesterday, recalls
romance of a few years ago when Maude
Breden. pupil in the High School, left
her studies to become the wife of Irving
Neuscheler, of New York city, son of a
millionaire. In her petition, Mrs Neusch-
eler makes some grave charges against her
husband, neglect, abuse. drunkenness. and
that her husband had become addicted to
the morphine habit. Young Nuescheler
and Miss Breden were married in this city,
October is, 1895, and went to reside in New
York.
Within six months after their marriage
troubles began, the wife charging that her
husband amused himself by beating her
with his fists. In September, 1898. Mrs.
Neuscheler returned to her mother bring
ing her baby with her, but was reconciled
to her husband in March of this year, upon
his promise of reformation only to be
again deceived, as she returned to her
mothers home and filed the divorce suit

clares with much emphasis: Three years

to solve the money question" Was it in
good faith? Schurz and his associates
wanted the establishment OF the single gold
standard; and. accordingly they elected Mr.
Mckinley on a platform which swore itself

would ever weep. wall. and fight for inter-
national bimetallism. OF course we admit.
that this represents good faith as Fill
pinos like Schurz understand the term. 1t
is at least as good faith as he and his kind
display in the relations of politics and life
generally.

The Absurd Duel,

Something funny has happened in Paris
but that is not unprecedented. A great
many funny things have happened there Of
late. The fact which calls for remark is
that Paris sees how amusing this thing is,
and laughs. Some of the other farcical incl
dents have been taken in dead earnest un-
der the lamblike conviction that they were
tragedies.
Henri Rochefort has agreed to fight
twelve duels in twelve hours.
The anti-Dreyfus editor used to be quite
fond of dueling, and il is said that he has
been engaged in more than two hundred
affairs of this kind. He has notified the
twelve Dreyfusards who challenged him 10
mortal combat to meet him on the same
day in the woods. The entertainment Will
begin at midnight and there will be duel
every hour from that time on. Luncheons
will be served at the half-hours if res
taurant-keeper can be found who will take
the contract for providing them, and NJ.
Rochefort will eat peacefully during the
time between fights.
The idea seems to be make the famous
code" ridiculous. and thus far the scheme
has succeeded beautifully. The spectacle
of the unrufiied Rochefort calmly waiting
while twelve flre-eaters, with blood in their
eyes. attack him at intervals for the honor
OF France, is funny enough TO
make an Egyptian cat have Mysteries. The
fact that France understands this is very
encouraging. Heretofore a duel has been
farcical in fact and tragic in appearance.
The principals and their friends have gone
into more convulsions about it :han a
third-rate Hamlet doing the soliloquy.
They have explained in great swelling
phrases that stain on the honor must be
wiped out in blood. They have described
their sensitive feelings with many rollings
If the ''r.'' They have proudly overlooked
the fact that a modern French duel is not
quite as dangerous as a hatpin fight be-
tween two shopgirls, and not much more
imposing. When a man comes fatty out
and makes il evident to all France and the
surrounding civilized world that he can
fight twelve duels day and turn up bright
and happy afterward, ready for second
breakfast at noon. the duel is made 50
distinctly ridiculous that almost anyone
has to see it And that is the only way i'll
which this absurd custom can be abolished
The idea that question of right and wrong
can be decided by two men standing up
and pricking at one another with rapiers
or popping at each other with pistols, is
rather irrational when you come to think
of it. In novels, of course. the best man
always wins. But what about the man who
slaps righteous mans face, gets chal-
lenged, aud shoots the righteous one down?
Where does the satisfaction come in then?
In getting slapped first and shot afterward?

dismal fad which also was made in Germany,
but which the professor has ridicuied lie has
advised all people in search of universal Ian
euage'' to learn English, and he has given his
reasons. English literature is the richest and
greatest in the world, English is more generally
spoken than any other language since the mis-
hap at Babel, il is the universal language of
commerce-in the East and Far East especially
and it Is spreading with increasing rapidiiy.
Mr. Chincholle, writing in 'Le Figaro gives
some amusing details regarding the allowances
made by law to witnesses for their expenses at
tending the Rennes court-msEtial. 1t appears
that the rate in the case OF court martial is
double that fixed for assize other trials. Wit
neSses at Rennes claim francs per day for
their expenses, whereas if they had deposed before
a criminal civil court they would only have
been allowed francs and 80 eentirnes. In adj
dition they are empowered to charge travelling
expenses at the rate OF 10 centimes per klometer.
In the case OF the journey from Paris to Rennes
and return the allowance is, therefore, "A francs.
Experts officially called in that capacity, how
ever, have the right to charge for travelling
penses at the rate, not of l cent. but of snmp.
tuors cents kilometer. II is said that the
reason for this special proviso Of the law is that
experts expected to travel irst-class. while
third-class accommodations are considered to be
good enough for the common herd of witnesses.
Professor Nernst has recently published some
further researches that bear upon the production
Of light in his lamp As is well-known. mt
taliic conductivity increases in the inverse ratio

conductvity is exactly the opposite of this. lie
shows that the electrolytic conductivity Of solids
of high temperature is very high. With pure
oxides, it increases slowly with the temperature
and remains relatively SMALL but that OF mix
lures, and particularly of the oxides Of nilgne-
sum- silicon, and zircon is very much greater;
in fact, better than that of sulphuric acid. He
considers that the electric arc does not conduct
mctallically, but eectrolyticslly. In experiment.
