CUP FOR CAMBON.

WASHINGTON, July President
Mckinley today presented to the
French ambassador, NJ. Cambon, a
superb silver loving cup in recognition
of the ambassadors friendly services
in the negotiations which restored
peace between the United States and
Spain. The beautiful testimonial was
sent by Secretary Hay to the French
Embassy, accompanied by note from
the Secretary, in which, speaking for
the President, he expressed sincere APP
probation of NJ Cambon's considerate
and disinterested services, and tend
cred the loving cup as an evidence of
the esteem felt for him.
The cup is of massive proportions
and chaste design, and the information
al significance of the gift is shown in
the blending of the French and Amer
lean coats-of-arms. 1t stands about two
and one-half feet high, with the top
of the bowl about ten inches across.
The outer surface is silver, richly en-
bossed. while the inside is of ham

PORTLAND CEMENT.

SAN FRANCISCO, July "a COM
pany having ample capital is about to
be formed for the purpose of manufac-
turing Portland Cement at FL Toro,
Orange county, not far from the city
of Los Angeles. Exhaustive tests, both
in this country and Europe, demon
strate that the deposits of lime rock
and clay controlled by those interested
will make a Portland Cement having
a much greater tensile strength than
the imported article. The deposits are
very extensive and close to the rail-
road. Convenience of location and
modern methods of manufacture will,
it is expected, enable the company to
place cement of a superior quality on
the market at very low figure. On
the property there are the remains of
an old kiln, used, no doubt, in the early
part of the century by the Padres, who
appreciated the excellent quality Of
the rock, which is now used extensive
ly by the sugar refineries for making
lime. AS there is a constantly growing
demand for Portland cement, the plant
to be erected will have producing ca
pacity Of at least 100000 barrels year

Lava flows
or Eruptions.

The variation in number of sun
spots during the average eleven-year
cycle is strongly marked, the ratio OF
maximum to minimum being abou. as
so to 10 and sometimes greater. Ii is
an accepted fact, L believe, that the
solar heat is slightly greater whel,
there are the feweSt spots, but how
this should cause volcanic outbreak
does not appear. 1t may be the eX
pansion on account of such heat OF a
fluid interior breaking through a rigid
crust.
The next minimum period is due
about 1900, as near as can be eStimat-
ed from past intervals, so without be-
ing in any way alarmists, it is reas)n
able for us to look for probable lava
flow at some time between now and
1901 The Hawaii lava flows are gen.
orally confined to desolate parts of the
island.
This is not to be considered as a
prediction, but simply statement o!

Tt is a recognized fact that the re.
searches of Monsieur Pasteur have
saved many millions of francs to the
French people by showing them how
to guard against the pests Of then
herds, fields and vineyards, besides
reducing to a remarkable extent the
mortality in their hospitals; and both
the medical practice and the hygienlc
habits of all civilized nations are
sharing these benefits.
The courses of biology in II col
leges now include some knowledge of
baeteriology, and there are special
provisions for students who wish to
follow up this fruitful branch in the
laboratories. Happily for all the
people, the results of such inquiries
become a part of common knowledge,
even while the processes are still
among the mysteries of science.
Thousands of homes and factories
are safer from disease-producing
germs because of the spread of a kind
of knowledge which is quite super
fetal. The farmer sprinkles paris
green over his potato vines; the house
keeper buys of the druggist a bottle
of carbolic acid, or some better disin-
~fectant; the nurse, under the over
sight of the physician, treats the
diphtheritic patient with antitoxin;
and in each case they only need to
understand that these substances de-
stroy parasitic life. Perhaps the few
wise ones, who know at what cost
these fruits of science and art are
brought within common reach, may
have their own quiet chuck at the
complacent claim of pop liar in
telligence. Youths Companion.

All bakers, wholesale and retail,
seek to produce at their several bak-
ings through the day only so much as
may be required to supply the wants
of their trade. but in making sure to
provide enough there is likely to be
some left over to get stale. There is
some demand for stale bread for house
hold uses-for making toast and for
cooking purposes-but the demand is
limited. Such stale bread as may re-
main unsold in this manner is never
wasted; tits sold to farmers and market
gardeners who drive into the city with
produce to sell, and who buy more or
less supplies here to carry back to feed
stock. When finally disposed of thus
it is sold by the barrel, at SO much a
barrel; the price being very low, but
depending somewhat on the surplus
stock on hand on the day of sale

We have had the German Emperor
from many points of view, even from
that of his barber. The latest pen
portrait is that of the shorthand writer.
William H., since he assembled the
throne, has always had a shorthandre-
porter. in attendance to take a verba-
tim note of his speeches, and Herr
Karl Hempel has frequently acted in
that capacity. In a sketch of his sub
ject he says that the Kaiser is easy to
report, for his voice is strong and his
articulation distinct. He only be-
comes difficult when he gets excited,
and on such occasions, though his
pronunciation is clear, he speaks with
lightning rapidity. Moreover, he has
an awkward trick at such times OF
Jerking out detached sentences. For
the first time in his caree the EN-
peror omitted to take with him an of
fetal shorthand writer to the Holy
Land, but he availed himself of the
services of Herr Dyck, a German Jour
aalist established in Jerusalem

chiefly by the late DIR. James McCosh and
the late DR.. Philip Schaff. Its first meeting
in America was in Philadelphia in 1880. 1t

To little men and women of the lit

Writings, there ought to be something
instructive in this word from Thack-
cray, quoted by his daughter, Mrs.
Richie. After reading such an esti-
mate of notoriety bya man truly great,
the minnows may well consider
whether they are not swimming too
pretentiously.
"There's no use denying the matter,
or blinking at it, now L I'M become a

why the Hare Couldn't Get By.

automatically that a hare could never
pass a tortoise. Suppose, they said,
the hare was ten times as fast, but the
tortoise had a hundred yards start.
While the hare run the 100 yards
the tortoise would gain a fresh start Of
ten yards. While the hare cleared
this off, his slower competitor would
make a yard. When pussy had pac.d
the yard the start would be one-tenth
yard; similarly it would be reduced tc
one-hundredth, one-thousandth, and
so on, bat it never vanishes. How
