Our Churches.

The new Methodist and BaP-
fist churches have been complet-
ed and are very pretty indeed.
They are nicely painted inside
and out and the granting and
decorating on the inside, which
was done by Judge Parker, is
simply beautiful. A fine new
bell adorns the tower Of each
building, the tones of which are
excellent. These buildings speak
a great deal for Poplaryille, and
together with other improve
ments that have been made dur
ing the past twelve months show
what our people can do when
they unite their efforts in any
thing. In the two church build
ings just completed and another
one, the Presbyterian, in pros
pect, the High School building,
the bank building and the beau
tlful courthouse, Poplaryille has
the foundation of a progressive
city, and the fact that her i'm
proyements are being made one
by one with the mills OF progress
continually grinding inspires
courage in our citizens and con-
fidence in the outside world. 1t
is a source Of special pleasure to
every public spirited citizen in
Pop1arville to direct the stran-
gers attention to the tall spires
Of the Poplarville churches and
compare them to the houses that
were used for worship twelve
months ago.

The encounter last evening between
Fitzslmmons and Sharkey was short il
not sweet. Sharkey lasted only two
rounds, and it was well for him that
his troubles were so soon over. He got
his $l2500, If he got it, without being
hammered as much as he would have
been If he could have stayed longer, and
1t is not likely that the result would
have been any different If there had
been more rounds. Fltzslmmons was
so much more than match for him
that only an accident would have
helped him.

them. He could lick any one of them

TO * EEP AIR PURE.

An invention which has been made
by two French chemists, NM. Desgrez
and Balthazard, may prove to be of
great Importance. They have devised
a method of providing a more or less
constant supply Of air for an nclosed
space, such. for example, as a Divers
means to this end is bioxide Of sodium,
white salt made by heating the metal
sodium in oxygen gas until the sodium
Is supersaturated with the life-sustaip-
ing element The sodium retains the
oxygen, it appears, so long as the biox-
de is dry, but when the latter is mois-
tened it slowly gives up It's oxygen and
becomes ordinary caustic soda, which
is a greedy absorbent of carbonic acid
gas A man, accordingly, placed in
very small room with supply Of So
dunn bioxide can renew his supply of
oxygen by moistening the salt, at the
same time having the earbonic acid gas
he breathes ont absorbed by caustic
soda. Thus the air remains compare
lively pure, being neither impoverished
by the oxygen he breathes in nor pois-
oned by the carbonic acid he breathes
out. AS sodium can be cheaply supplied
there seems to be a practical future for
1t. Divers, with its help. could, it is
supposed, cut themselves loose from air
pumps. tubes and all the complicated
apparatus of the Divers outfit The
diving bell, supplied with the bloxide
could likewise operate without the air |
pump. The diver could go into places
which he cannot reach at present. 1t |
is not inconceivable that miners imprls- f.!
oned in collapsed mine might, if pro- !
vided with an oiledsilk covering for |
the head and a quantity of sodium biox- |
ide, be able to hold out many hours till |
relief came. The occupant of a sub
marine boat might find it similarly use
full, And it might be useful in thea
tres meeting houses and other places
where pure air is needed.

THE BICYCLE At THE CURB.

Wheelmen everywhere will be inter
ested in question that has been raised
In Indianapolis by the mayor, who has
instructed the police to prevent the
standing of wheels against the curbs in
the business streets. This action was
taken, 1t Is said, at the instigation of
business men, who have made COM
plants that bicycles left at the curbs
obstruct the streets and annoy people
alighting from carriages. Court action
to test the matter is contemplated, and
1t would appear that the wheelmen
have a good case. AS the indianapolis
Press argues, the rider of bicycle is
entitled to the use of the street equally
with the owner of a carriage. His bicy-
Gle is in the same class of vehicles
with the carriage, taxed in the same
way, and In a greater degree than
the carriage, in proportion to the use
of the street, and he is entitled to ex-
actly the same privileges. There would
be just as much reason in requiring
carriages to be left at livery stables in
stead of kept waiting In front of shops
for their owners as in requiring bicy-
clists to store their wheels while they
are busy in the shops.
The rights of the bicycle in the street
are pretty we'll esta h1iehed and tho de-
cisions that have been made give no
reason to expect that 1t will be found
leave his wheel at the curb.

OF COURSE,

There has been talk thatswas not very
sensible about taking the United States
troops out of Pel1in just as soon as the
ministers besieged there were saved. 1t
is now announced that while much pres
sure has been brought to bear upon the
administration to take this step it has
been determined that the negotiations
for the settlement of the questions
growing out of the disturbances in
China must take place In the Chinese
capital, and that while these negotia-
tons are pending and until they are
completed 1t will be necessary for the
United States forces to remain at PEEK
in. While it Is recognized that a with
draWal of the forces from Pekin might
be hailed with satisfaction in this coun-
try, it Is said that the moral effect in
China and upon the Chinese would be
bad, and would be interpreted by the
Chinese as retreat
Of course. The United States troops
in China should stay where they will
do the most good, and Pekin seems to
be that place. They should stay until
the right kind of peace is made If they
have to stay all winter

All the principal cities of the Chinese
empire has telegraph service. An ar
arrangement was made with the Russian
telegraph authorities In 1892 by which
communication was esta blished between
Pekin and Europe. The apparatus and
method used in telegraphing in China
are of the most primitive description,
says the Scientific American The Chi
nese have no alphabet, but each word
has a sign. In order to- telegraph them
each sign has to be numbered and the
number is sent by wire. The receiving
clerk refers to his tables and translates
the number into the Chinese signs. The
tables resemble logarithm tables, the
signs being printed In vertical columns
and each column containing twenty
signs, and as there are ten columns
there are 200 signs to the page. There
are forty-nine pages to the complete
book, consequently there are $500 num-
bered signs. Each square contains
sign for word The sender must write
his message on a blank form; this is
then converted into numbers and they
are telegraphed. The average length of
the words is four letters, but the words
freqently run to ten or twelve letters.
