THE ASSASSIN OF THE EMPRESS
Lucheni subdued and Penitent in His
 Swiss Prison

Swiss Prison.
 The United States consul at Geneva, MT. B. H. Ridgley, communicates to the Strand for September the story of Lucheni, his crime and his subsequent life in jail. He is, we are told, in- ea.cerated in the Eveche or bishopry, Close l5 Galyin's great church. Of his aclt... ..,lLatlon the writer says: "It Is Ge2t and clean cell, much larger and Letter ventilated than any cell I ever remember to have seen in an American penitentiary. The convict has good, clean bed, with a straw mattress; he has small table and 8 chair. He is comfortably clad, not in convict stripes, but in good woolen garments, and is. in short, living under l better conditions of cleanliness and Wholesoneness than he ever knew be- fore in his Iife. The writer himself has seen the convict recently. This Is his report: T found that I.ucheni had hanged considerably since the day of his condemnation. His mustaehe was gone, and his face looked sleek and white and fat The 1.-the figure had also grown much stouter; he still wore She gum-elastic smile, but the air of brayado was missing. His eyes were downcast; his mien humble It was easy to see that the spirit of the an archist was broken. He feels the soli- tary confinement terribly. It is par ticularly hard to the verbose Iueheni. !
 without hope; the ceaseless babbler is reduced to everlasting silence: the preacher of the bad cause is without a public.9 Within six weeks of entrance he admitted to the priest that three hours after committing his awful crime he repented of it. The authorities U sounds somewhat cynieal-are hop lng to turn his penitence to good ae- count. He has already confessed that he has aeomplices, ard they hope to have most important revelations before long. The writer at once draws the moral which opponents of capital pun ishment all the world over will be quick to repeat: Thus, after all. per haps it is fortunate that capital punz Ishment is not inflicted in Geneva; otherwise Lueheni. with the bravado of his kind, would have gone under the guiiiotine in the conventional way, crying, Tive fAnarehieR and his brethren would have been spared the demoraiizing= spectacle of sbe most reckless and vicious and audacious of their lot turned into a trembling tail- hIfd, singing gospel hymns and weep- l ing tears Of repentance"

.,a.e- nerioe. for u.e in warfare.

New while war is going on the pro- life brain of the inventor is busy de- vising ways in which to speedily an nihilate the enemy. One ingenious in- diyfdual, an Englishman, suggests a mist or fog ball with which to enyelop an antagonist in impenetFable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres, containing ammonia and acids' which, on escaping, create 2 very dense fog, wrapping everything near # in haze until blown away by the wind! He argues that this would be a most eficacious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work. both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce.

AMERICAN PULP.
England Is Dependent on It for Hex
 Newspapers.

$. Charles Phillips of London, Eng land, IS in St. Paul in the interests of a trip that is to be made to this country 4ext summer by party of British newspaper proprietors and publishers, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He is attending to the preliminaries and ar ranging for the reception of the sixty members of the party that will be iD St. Paul in June. There will be in- cluded the proprietors and representa- tiYes of all of the largest newspaper and publishing houses in the kingdom, and taey are coming to the United States for the purpose of Investigating our methods and with the intention of arranging for the purchase of paper supplies in this country England is at present dependent upon the conti- nent for it's supply of pulp from which to make paper, said Mr. Phillips. We have not the quantity nor the quality of wood necessary for the manufacture of the paper we need. We have =se- cured the larger portion of our supply of pulp for newspapers from Scandi- nayia. Nearly all of the fine paper came from Germany until recently, when the United States entered the market. Ten years ago not an ounce of pulp was secured in the United States by England Today thousands of tons of it are being shipped over each year. The finer qualities of pulp made in this country are the hest in tie market. IL $ a fact that Ameri- can factories are today shipping to the German towns from which ten years ago this country received it's high grade paper material. It is the fnten- tion of the publishers that are to visit this country next summer to inspect the important paper factories in the United States and Canada, with a view to securing an intelligent understand ing of the sit'-a5ion, and making ar- engagements for securing their future supplies"

Do Certain Animals When Their Mouths

Are Held Open.
 Animals of the horse kind can only breathe through the mouth with great difficulty end effort. so that if their nose is obstructea they tend to suffo- cate. Even their vocal sounds arc uttered through the nose as a rule, but when they do use the mouth the cry is made with obvious effort. aud is generally of a strident character The horses neigh is made by respiratory efforts through the nose, and is easy and spontaneous in character; but the scream it utters when in mortal pain is made through the mouth, and is labored and unnatural. The donkey makes a pleasant hising noise through the nose when pleased, but it's bray through the mouth is painful and labored. Large, open nostrfls form an important feature in a thoroughbred horse. fer from it's inability to breathe through the mouth it is dependent on its nese for it's wind" when going at great speed. Much lower in the scale of life We find the frog, which saffo- eates when it's mouth is forctbly kept open.
