Frankfort newspaper, says Consul
walter Schumann, in his last report
"calls attention to the fact that for
sometime past certain kinds of silver
mounted glass and porcelain wares,
such as cups, glasses, jars, vases, etc,
have been placed upon the market. The
silver on these articles is applied by
means of galvanoplastic process, in
baths which contain very large quantf-
ties of potassium cyanide. AS glazed
wares have innumerable hairlike cracks
this deadly poison enters these cracks,
and the articles, beautiful to look at,
become severe menace to the health
of anybody using or handling them,
especially as 1T is impossible in the
course of manufacture to remove this
poisonous residuum. l have spoken

supreme court Will be asked for an

amendnont 1t is also, it msy be me
tione incidentally, an open question
whether the cou,t will vouchsafe such
an opinion should 1t bs asked of them

that few days ago resolution was
introduced in the house suggesting
that the supreme court be asked to ad-
wise the house touching certain points

in the constitution These points In
volved the question OF whether 1T had
received the constitutional majority,
whether 1t had bsen properly submit
ted, and the effect OF the insertion of
the amendment on the tenure of the
present judicial incumb ents. The ju-
dietary committee Of the house took
the resolution up, the same having
been referred to them, and, according
to tho statement Of member of that
committee, the sentiment of the mem
bers was almost unanimously opposed
to the course suggeste5 The mem ers
took the position that the constitution
eft the matter solely with the house
and senate. ard in addition 1t might
be construed as an indeIicacy to ask
the opinion of court on question
that might even remotely Affect the in
dividual members thereof. The au-
thor ct the resolution requested that 1t
be allowed to lie on the committee ia
BILE for while without action, mas
much as it was a moral certainty that
an overwhelmingly adverse report
would be made On it to ths house. The
probabilities, therefore, are that it will
never emerge from the committee
room. Should 1t do SO, 1t is understood
that 1t will be recommended that the
resolution do not pass. TIE senate has
not up to the resent time had any
SUCH resolution before it, and it is
difficult 10 estimate how the senti-
ment in that boiy is or the quss-
ton. II may be that the senate will
decide to ask the supreme court sep
arately for an cpirion, in case the
house does not wish to do b; and 1T
may be that it will take tie sa ne posi-

The following story illustrates the
late Archibald Forbes cleverness in
getting his news reports in ahead of
his fellow correspondents:

to wake him up. I'll turn in" says
Jones' "Time enough to get our stuff
off tomorrow, eh?'' Fright you are"
responds Smith.
In ten minutes the wearied warrior
scribes are dead asleep. Forbes rises
cautiously, passing out like a ghost,
sits him down in a hidden corner with
the stump of a tallOw candle, writes
like a whirlwi.ld for a couple of hours,
finishes with the last flicker of his
dip, saddles a horse, off he goes heller

are you up top quoth Forbes drowsily.

off, 1.-THE devil you are! Why hur-
~? Let's have another snooze."
At last Smith and Jones get their
stuff off and in three days discover to
their bepuzzlement that they were "a
hours behindhand. Very provoking
to Smith and Jones. But if Forbes
had been the victim Of the little ruse
he would have been the first to laugh
over it and to congratulate his sue
cessful competitor.

If man grew as fast in proportion as

nothing of an extra pair in his head

A Unique River.

Unique in its kind is no doubt the
MocOna waterfall in the South Ameri-
can republic Of Uruguay. situated
about two miles below the mouth of
the Piperi Assn river into the Uru-
quay. A great rock divides the river
into two separate streams in such a
manner that the right arm continues
it's flow on the original level. while
the second arm falls gradually, so that
1T finally lies % feet below the level
of the other arm. The bed of the up
per part of the river is not very deep,
and the water flows partly in right
angle to the river thus forming wa
terfall of more than two miles in
length.
This unique view presents itself to
the traveller, however, only during the
winter, for in the summer, and espe-
cially during the rainy season, the
Uruguay contains such immense guam
titles of water that both arms form
one single stream, navigable even for
the largest freight steamers. The fall
has been known for centuries, and q
description of it was published as early
as 1861 by the Rev. Antonius Sepp, q
missionary from Tyrol, who spent over
20 years among the Indians of Uru-
quay.

Artificial SpOnges.

Artificial sponges are made in Ger
many by treating pure cellulose with
zine chloride. The product swells in
water and on drying becomes hard.
But to prevent this action alkalihaloids
are used. A pasty mass is thus obtain
ed, which, being treated with rock
salt, is then placed in a mold. When
removed, it appears to be traversed
by canals in all directions, and after
having been washed in alcohol and
water the sponge is ready for use.

Couldn't See the Joke.

Once Offenbach graciously accepted
the invitation of some friends to visit
them in Etretat. AS his hosts were
waiting for him at the hotel, one of
them, who was very intimate with the
composer, suggested:
Let US give him a rousing well
Gomez
The idea was taken up and devel-
oped. One of the party possessed a
collection of old weapons. This was
ransacked, and some two dozen young
fellows were soon equipped as halberd-
iers. Another mounted a donkey and
waved the flag of the club.
When Offenbachs carriage came
in sight, a drum beat, the halberdiers
presented arms and fireworks were
set off from the balcony at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon.
AS the composer stepped to the
ground a venerable old man approach
ed and presented to him the key of the
hotel on q silver platter.
Offenbach, vain as a peacock and
accustomed to all sorts of queer re-
ceptions, entirely failed to see the joke,
though it was as broad as anything

BOLD PLAN FOR RELEASE.


Pittshurg, Pa, July 27.-One of the
boldest and most systematic plans for
the release of one or more prisoners
from Riverside penitentiary was
thwarted yesterday by accident. The
first theory advanced when the mat
ter was discovered seemed to point to
the release OF Alexander Berkman.
TIE anarchist, who is serving 22-year
sentence for the shooting of II. c.
Prick, during the big Homestead
strike In 1892, but the conclusion
reached last night is that the real OBJ
iect of the rescuers was to secure the
freedom Of the notorious real estate
swindler, j. c, Boyd, who is serving a
seven years sentence in the peniten-
tiary for his misdeeds. The plan by
which the rescuers hoped to reach the
inside of the penitentiary wall was
by tunnel from the cellar of house
on Sterling street nearly opposite one
of the gates. Their work is remark
able considering the obstacles to be
overcome Investigation yesterday
showed that II was over 200 feet long
but because of its zig-zag character
had not reached the prison wall
